The Hidden Gospel of Jesus Christ

[eaglesway]

Jesus spoke in parables, so that "seeing they might not perceive and hearing they might not understand". The idea that the gospel is open to all is refuted by the words of our Savior Himself. It is a treasure hid in a field for which one must "sell all" and then dig. It is a "pearl of exceeding value" for which one must trade in all previous treasure. It is concealed from the wise and the mighty and revealed, only unto babes. Mysteries hidden from the foundation of the world, says Jesus. This "mystery', Paul says, is the hidden wisdom, spoken of by the mature, those who use "spiritual words" to describe "spiritual realities". It is the mystery of the "summing up of all things in Christ" according to the Father's "kind intention" (eu-dokia, good will), proclaimed in the "good news" (eu-aggelion, gospel). It is what the angels declared to shepherds, singing "glad tidings"(eu aggelion, good news) of great joy......peace on earth, "good will"(eu-dokia) towards men. If our gospel, this precious good news is veiled, it is veiled towards those who are "apollumi"-lost, perishing(2 Cor 4:1-4), in whom the god of this world has blinded their eyes so that "they might not see, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, might shine on them". This "glorious gospel" is the "mystery of the kingdom"- a measure of leaven hidden in three bushels of flour until all is leavened . It is the "Good News" that all will be saved. It is the wisdom that the principalities and powers did not understand, as they buried the seed in the dirt(through murder/death) that would become a great tree filling the whole earth.

Who has known the mind of the Lord and who has been His counselor and who has given to Him that He should repay?! For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be the glory forever, AMEN!

WHile we are accused of spreading a false gospel, it is really the hidden gospel, the veiled gospel, the GLORIOUS GOSPEL of the restitution of all things through the blood of Jesus Christ, "whom the heavens must receive(hidden) until the period of the restitution of all things spoken of by all the prophets since the world began."  HAHA Praise The Lord for He Is GOOD! His Mercy ENDURES FOREVER!!!!!

 :thumbsup:     just Awesome    the revelation  being the  revealing of HIM / LIGHT knowledge and Wisdom of God   :HeartThrob: 

[shawn]

I was greatly blessed by that.

[Beloved Servant]

Colossians 2:

2 in order that their hearts may be cheered, they themselves being welded together in love and enjoying all the advantages of a reasonable certainty, till at last they attain the full knowledge of God's truth, which is Christ Himself.

3 In Him all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are stored up, hidden from view.

4 I say this to prevent your being misled by any one's plausible sophistry.

There's a whole lot of plausible sophistry goin round these days, ;o)

[Beloved Servant]

Just as the New Testament predicted.

[Cardinal]

 :cloud9: Had to look up "plausible sophistry".......interesting that it originally referred to the Greek scholars who taught virtue and wisdom to noblemen or anyone who could PAY them for it. Doesn't sound too far off from a root in modern churchianity.....so yes, the NT predicted it.

we are the Lords Temple to dwell in  :HeartThrob:

    Babylon    compare    the old testament/witness  prophecy   with revealing   this in Revelations /unveiling  Christ Spirit of prophecy

Jer 51:11 Make bright the arrows; gather the shields: the LORD hath raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes: for his device [is] against Babylon, to destroy it; because it [is] the vengeance of the LORD, the vengeance of his temple.

Rev 17:16   And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast,

these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked,

and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.

  For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.


And the woman which thou saw is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

Rev 18:2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

yeppers Dave , some for the ''power '' and some  for the LOVE of money ..   both are
   evil works ..For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre; 


Tts 1:8   But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate; 


Tts 1:9   Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers. 


Tts 1:10 ¶ For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: 


Tts 1:11   Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake. 


Tts 1:12   One of themselves, [even] a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians [are] alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies. 


Tts 1:13   This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; 


Tts 1:14   Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth. 


Tts 1:15   Unto the pure all things [are] pure:

but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving [is] nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. 

Tts 1:16   They profess that they know God; but in works they deny [him], being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

 :cloud9: In practice, I tend to stick with my initial first prayer to the Lord as I think it has served me well....."I don't care what You teach me as long as I know it's Your Truth. I don't want any traditions or fairy tales of men."

I've found over the years, that His Truth is generally in direct opposition to the beliefs of the many, because the many's beliefs are usually a total corruption of the underlying spiritual principle hidden in plain view in the Word. Could be why He said, few there be that find it.

I've also found most errors seem to have taken hold about 1700 years ago and therefore have deep roots and are harder to remove. It takes Him coming as Gideon (feller of trees) and the HG to come and burn the thing out at the roots. Come, Lord, come.....Blessings....

The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy (One of my favorite verses)

His testimony is what He walked. What He said is only empowered by His life, which He laid down in order to secure the testimony. I believe the light "catches me out", in my self/chaos/darkness and "divides me" so that I can "see" through to "laying it down".

In that day the LORD will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent, With His fierce and great and mighty sword, Even Leviathan the twisted serpent; And He will kill the dragon who lives in the sea. In that day, "A vineyard of wine, sing of it!
(Isa 27:1-2)

Leviathan flees through the "deep" in me, until the Lord pierces him with His swift sword.

For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. For all things are open to the eyes......
(Heb 4:12)

Once I am "divided", broken, my innermost thoughts "revealed", every "hidden thing" brought to light, the Day is dawning and I can "walk in it".


The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters. Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light day, and the darkness He called night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.
(Gen 1:2-5)

When the day dawns and the morning star arises in our hearts, sing of it, a vineyard....He waters it everyday

in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. For we do not preach ourselves but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your bond-servants for Jesus' sake. For God, who said, "Light shall shine out of darkness," is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.
(2Co 4:4-6)


As carnal believers, we are formless(not reflecting the image of Christ the image of God) and void(full of self, empty of "zoe", not filled with the Spirit) until the Voice of the Lord speaks- "Let their be Light", and Lo there is the Day- chaos is divided into light and darkness, soul is divided from spirit as bone from marrow- we begin to walk in the light as He is in the light and the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin- and we have "koinonea" -union and communion, and the kingdom begins to manifest (Thy kingdom come,Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven). First in me, then in "us" as we begin to see together. (Wherever two or more of you gather....)



Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the LORD shall bring again Zion.
(Isa 52:8)

and then, live together, as a corporate seraphim, eyes all around, moving without turning, "the wind blows where it wills, so it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit"-  But how can we shine like the Son when we worry about what we shall eat, what we shall wear..... clinging to our "earth", rather than setting our affections on things above. 

The Lord must empty us out, or break us down(faithful potter) until to live is Christ and to die is gain. I think all true revelation must eventually transform us in this way, because only then is it "the testimony of Jesus Christ".


So then, those who had received his word were baptized; and that day there were added about three thousand souls. They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone kept feeling a sense of awe; and many wonders and signs were taking place through the apostles. And all those who had believed were together and had all things in common; and they began selling their property and possessions and were sharing them with all, as anyone might have need. Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number day by day those who were being saved.
(Act 2:41-47)

They were entered- corporately and in the manifest experience of the full reality of the Day- within the veil, seated in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus above all principality and power, in one mind, as one soul. An open portal to the kingdom of heaven through which angels ascended and descended, and through whom the world around them saw Jesus, in their love and freedom and grace. They were so able because the cross of Christ had slain them, one and all.

But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or an ungifted man enters, he is convicted by all, he is called to account by all; the secrets of his heart are disclosed; and so he will fall on his face and worship God, declaring that God is certainly among you.
(1Co 14:24-25)

The new and living way into the holy of holies is revealed,  the ark of testimony disclosed, the veil in the heavens torn, the sign of the son of man is appearing in the heavens- God give us grace!

Hi Eaglesway,

  your post reminded me of 'the Lost Gospel of the Dove' referred to in some of the apocrypha.  You ever search and search for something.. that you 'lost'.then find it

where you had   already looked twice!!

               Sheila

[eaglesway]

Sheila, your post reminded me

Many years, ago had this dream. I was in a mine and I was wearing a helmet with a light on it and I was digging in the dark and chipping the rock with a hammer and I was following a vein of gold in the wall of the mine shaft. Then, as I was digging, I lost it. I began to swing my hammer all over the area where I was breaking the rock, seeking the vein I had lost, when all of the sudden I struck the wall and a big slab of rock fell off and I saw a huge vein of gold and the letters  MOTHERLODE jumped out in front of my eyes.

Then I woke up, encouraged and rejoicing.

Jesus is my motherlode :o), and I never saw Him so clearly as when I began to understand the mystery of the gospel, the reconciliation of all things through the blood of His cross. :o)
