The most precious
possessions of people are always HIDDEN.
We hide our CASH, our
JEWELRY, our CHILDREN, and our life's secrets.
Precious things are
always HIDDEN.
Gold is never found
lying around in common places, it must be searched out, labored for in mining,
and safeguarded to the broker's deposit.
Cash is carried about
on armored cars with armed guards in the locked bank compartment.
Diamonds must be mined
and polished.
Rubies are hidden in
fields of stone and dirt. All things precious are also rare.
Our souls are hidden
from view deep in the privileged chambers of our hearts.
Psalm 51:
5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive
me.
6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part
thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be
whiter than snow.
GOD hides His precious
ones from the eye of evil:
They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted
against thy hidden ones.
And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of
secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy
name, am the God of Israel.
Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye declare it? I have
shewed thee new things from this time, even hidden things, and thou didst not
know them.
God has hidden Truths
that He has shared with those who know Him.
But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom,
which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
A person of great
wealth has no need to boast of it, it is proven in the way that he lives.
But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not
corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the
sight of God of great price
Our real beings are
hidden in the dark passages of our heart. Only those who are invited may
approach.
The same is true of
God.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the
churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna , and will give him a white
stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that
receiveth it.
The purpose of a door
is to keep secure and secret that which is inside. We answer the door when
someone knocks.. If they are accepted, we receive them into the privacy of our
home.
Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting
at the posts of my doors.
The DOOR of GOD is a
HIDDEN DOOR!
Not just anyone may
enter, only those who know and understands His voice.
The ARK that NOAH built
had a DOOR. Only God could shut that door to the wicked outside.
Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about
thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be
overpast.
Christ is the
Bridegroom of the Church. The Church is the Bride. Please insure that we are
not as the five hapless virgins who had no oli (Holy Spirit) in their lamps
lest the door be shut in our face:
And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were
ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the
door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord,
Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence
ye are:
John 10
1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into
the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a
robber.
2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth
his own sheep by name, and leadeth them
So where is the Door and how do we find it?
8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep
did not hear them.
9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall
go in and out, and find pasture.
10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I
am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
Christ is nowhere to be
found in the modern churches. He is outside, while the sinful hypocrites are within:
To the Seven churches in Revelation He says:
7 And to the
angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy,
he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man
shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;
8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no
man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and
hast not denied my name.
9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are
Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship
before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and
open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
What can we do to make
this door open to us? We must give Christ the keys to the door of our hearts.
Allow him free reign in our hearts. He will admit only good into the chambers
of our hearts and not bad.
The Hidden Door is
Christ!
He spoke in parables
that those whose hearts were wicked would not understand, but His elect would
understand.
Such truths even the
angels in heaven have sought to know, yet we are privileged to be partakers
thereof.
Matthew 13:
Why speakest thou
in parables?
11 He answered and said unto them,
Because
it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to
them it is not given.
Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they
did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have
preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which
things the angels desire to look into.
Does Jesus dwell behind
the Hidden Door of YOUR Heart?
