“No one can know what anyone else is really thinking except that person alone and no one can know God’s thoughts except God’s own Spirit.” 1 Corinthians 2:11
(Whisper) Pssst, come here I have a secret to tell you! Did you know “God has actually given us his Spirit (not the worlds spirit) so we can know the wonderful things God has freely given us.” 1 Corinthians 2:12
Jesus did not just ascend to Heaven and leave us here with nothing, He left us His Spirit. Do you know how wonderful that gift is? Do you know that Christ wants us to be so much like Him that He has given us every tool to do so? He gave us His Spirit, His Word, and are you ready for this, He gave us His deep secrets. “But we know these things because God has revealed them to us by his Spirit and His Spirit searches out everything and shows us even God’s deep secrets.” I know, isn’t it awesome?
When we think about our deep secrets it makes us squirm and get queasy. But when Jesus thinks of His deep secrets He can’t wait to share them. Do you know why, because they are full of life, love, adventure, and heaven? They are juicy, full of detail, and mouth dropping news. But in order to be in the know, you have to be a part of the family.
When you become part of the family you receive insight to Jesus’ life. You gain understanding to the words He speaks and if you listen you will even hear Him speaking to you. We even get to have the Mind of Christ! Its okay if you can’t contain yourself, I can’t either so go ahead and let out a woohoo! Or you can be like me and start hoopin’ and a hollerin’ and scare your kids to death, leaving them thinking you are absolutely crazy. Then to hear your five year old say, “What mommy, what is it? And your two year old letting out a loud cry because he doesn’t know what in the world just happened”
I look at it as an opportunity to share the news with someone. I mean if you were to yell at your desk right now or wherever you are, people would look at you and some would ask if you were okay and then you could say, “Oh my goodness I just heard the best secret, do you want to hear it? Did you know that Jesus gave us His Spirit so that we could understand and know His deep secrets and know about Heaven?”
Jesus is exciting, personal, and intimate. Don’t be like those who don’t have the Spirit. “But people who aren’t Christians can’t understand these truths from God’s Spirit. It all sounds foolish to them because only those who have the Spirit can understand these things, but others can’t understand us at all.” 1 Corinthians 2:14-15 don’t miss out, stop and let the Lord reveal the truth of your heart today.
Jesus today I am throwing my hands around, hoopin’ and a hollerin’ over You. And I have not a care in the world who thinks I am crazy. I am in love with You! Thank You for allowing me to know Your deep secrets through the Holy Spirit who lives within me. Amen
