Yesterday, we looked at the level to which Christians are to determine the present, and that is through the use of mystery. As was said, man makes use of past events to determine the present, Christians are to use the future to determine the present. Using the future is by bringing to the fore what hasn't happened before. But actually, the truth is that it had happened, but not in this realm. Why do I say this?
When you accept Christ as Lord of all, you receive His Spirit. To function in this Spirit, which is the Holy Spirit, you need to have believed in Christ and all that He has offered without questioning; this is a mystery which GOD/CHRIST uses. But the point I want you to know is who the mystery is. As we all know the popular verse of scripture in Hebrews 11:1 and 3 which says, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen… By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.”
The only way to live faith which is a life of mystery is a life of creativity, which no man has ever seen before. In a life of faith, nothing is impossible because impossibility comes from things which doesn’t have any link with what have been discovered. However, it is important you know who the mystery is, because, the mystery is a person; the one behind all these things about knowing the future beforehand.
Colossians 1:26&27 explains who the mystery is. This mystery was hidden from both angels and men for ages and generations, but is now revealed to GOD'S Holy people. Now, who are GOD'S Holy people? They are those who have accepted JESUS as LORD of their lives and has received a brand new Spirit which would enable them to have the mind of CHRIST (1 Corinthians 2:16). The mind of Christ is the mind of God, who knows the end from the beginning. So, when God His things, He doesn’t do them as a guess work, He creates things, He determines the solution of problems without using past discoveries.
As Hebrews 11:3 said that the things which are seen were created from the things which were not made visible to man, things never seen before. This is why when healing, miracles or supernatural abilities happen, they appear surprisingly new because, man expects it to rationally determined; and that which is rationally determined is that which has been seen before. Walking on water wasn’t seen before it happened neither were other supernatural activities. But once you have the mind of Christ, you operate as God does, who calls things that not as though they were [ref. Romans 4:17].
Having the mind of CHRIST enables you to operate like HIM because CHRIST is the mystery, as it is said in Colossians 1:27 which says "...Christ in you, the hope of glory." The power in Believers is the same power that was given to JESUS by GOD when HE rose from the grave (Philippians 2:9&10). This is the authority we use when call things forth from future.
Now when I say future, it is something that has existed by faith before it coming to pass. If you rely on the way of man in the way they reason, you will never understand nor operate in the way of God. The way of God is not the way of man, so it has nothing to do with reason, but it has everything to do with belief, trust, following simple instructions, that’s all. And you will see how you always have the right answers to every question. Ever wondered how Jesus got every question right? It was with following mystery and not history.
Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
