Being able to see beyond what the crowds could see, is the great mystery unveiled for the truly redeemed

This is the final quest of all those who are called according to God’s heavenly calling in Christ Jesus.

The mystery of our redemption in Christ has this one point that often the crowds following Him had missed.

Many of us view Christianity with eyes of flesh and therefore cannot mature into full-grown or mature believers, being able to see beyond the needs of our carnal disposition inherited through our natural birth.

We follow our Savior with a twisted identity of Him and His sovereign truth. This twist in our thinking comes just like it came to our fore father Adam.

We just do not know the truth.

Satan the father of all lies by twisting the truth previously spoken by God lied to Adam and his wife and through this one lie gained access to strip them off of all their inheritance in God.

With one word twisted about their identity Satan was able to gain advantage of sons of men, giving them a carnal state of mind. This is what He said “You will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

The same twister of all truth is still gaining access in all who would fall for his wicked schemes. Always using the simplicity of all of us who are in Christ by twisting the truth he steals kills and destroys our abundant life available to us In Christ.

This ancient spiritual weapon is directed at us when we do not trust God in His word, or basically do not know the word. This happens when we after being born again follow our own fallen intuition or the opinion of the crowds by living our Christian lives through the dictates of their minds. We basically fall victim of Satan’s fabricated lies offered to us as mere suggestions of our own faulty intellect. This is exactly what happened to Adam and Eve who fail to stop and meditate on God’s spoken or audible voice to them.

Men always will speak from their own resources, but God speaks from the abundance of His Spirit.

Jesus in Matthew the 11^th chapter displays this truth about the public opinion of John the Baptist and his ministry by addressing the crowds three times about their twisted identity of who John truly was. He radically condemned their twisted truth.

He spoke to them about the true identity of John in God and that the public view of this greatest prophet of the Old Covenant was totally void of God’s opinion of Him. In His words the Lord three times addresses the crowd with this question in mind

“What did you go out to see?”

Meaning what was the motives of your hearts in going to the desert? In another words what did your carnal twisted minds went to see?

With this the Lord spoke His truth three different times over their carnal understandings of their own flesh. This way the Lord Jesus condemned the earthly twisted mindset of the crowds about God’s faithful servant and his glorious end.

Having said all this He turned to John’s disciples and spoke to them the truth the crowds and even John at his state of imprisonment was not aware of it yet.

This was the truth way above what masses

Were willing to receive. He said to the disciples of John a truth beyond the fabricated lies of the devil polluted by human reasoning’s. Jesus spoke real truth, which only the mature could receive. Pointing to all that was happening in His ministry in response to John’s question about his own state of imprisonment Jesus reminded him of his own words which John the Baptist once said about Him. My ministry must decrease, so that His would increase. Also Jesus gave John and His disciple’s spiritual ability to see what crowds were not privileged to see. Here Jesus said to John’s disciples go and tell John “Blessed is he who is not offended because of Me”.

A truly difficult truth to observe on this side of heaven. We hear about many offenses coming in the last days as Mathew the 24^th chapter says.

But this once requires much wisdom. Many of us claim to have known God in these final days, and we preach many different messages proclaiming to have had access to the heart and mind of Christ, but are we all speaking His truth you think?

Is knowing God through His incorruptible word of truth a possibility for all? Well after all in the same passage of Matthew chapter 11 verse 19 Jesus Himself says “But Wisdom is justified by her children”. What do think He meant by this?

Is God in all His royal Majesty still approachable to all who seek Him?

How do you think we may know Him and the power of His resurrection? By having fellowship of His suffering? And conforming to His death? How is that possible folks?

Is this demand of God to know Him in that dimension impossibility in 2011? or maybe it was only a grace extended to the apostolic era? Or maybe we in these last days do not need to approach Him in such an intimate way to pay a heavy price mentioned by the truth of the scriptures?

These are questions that are often in our minds. Looking at the sins present in our inner man and the inadequacies of our resemblances to His character really makes us wonder if we could ever conform to His image like that? Don’t you agree?

Knowing and trusting the truth of His word, in absolute obedience would this be enough?

Is your faith ever on fire by unanswered questions about His truth in your mind?

Have we ever stopped to meditate on His goodness in the midst of the trials and testing’s of our faith? Have we ever sought Him in true diligence?

What do you think being able to see beyond what crowds could has to do with your faith?

Can we truly say you’ve come to a point in our lives that the voice of grace and more grace still is louder than the condemning voice of the accuser of the brethren?

Have we reached in our faith to a level that even if offended by Him in any area of our lives we could still walk with Him without accusing Him for being an unfair God?

These are the questions that for some of us needs to be answered quickly, since very difficult days are soon ahead of us.

Can we discern between the voice of God and the other voices around us?

Can we boldly say we feel His love in freeing us from our past chains to go beyond the crowds to worship Him in beyond the crowds?

Here is what we need to meditate upon as the Church of the last day’s folks.

In climbing above the normal understanding of the crowds to worship Him we need to grow in Him.

Here is where we as a Church need to grow in to. To pass beyond the brazen alter to the most Holy Place. It is here where a true called of God can see beyond others, especially in these last days when a false gospel is being preached at every corner.

It is here where the author of the Hebrews says we need to climb up too in order to have an inheritance in the continuing city to come.  Here are the words of Heb.13:12-13 “Therefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered outside the gate. ¹³ therefore let us go forth to Him, outside the camp, bearing His reproach.”

Here is where loyalty to Christ may mean separation from friends and even from some loved ones for Christ’s sake.

This meaning being singled out from the crowds to go out of the earthly temporal city of this life and be separated unto Him. It is here that our own desires and our own ambitions in life would be forsaken for a greater purpose.

Here is where our carnal self will die to its demands for human justice. It is here where the reproach or the offense of the cross will be a delight for us. It is here where we will truly begin to say “Let Your Will be done in my life”.

This is a very lonely seat among the rest of the crowds that have gone out to follow Him with earthly motives. It is here where Satan would have nothing in you and me to accuse. Not that we would be sinless, but that we would have obtained the eye sight to see beyond the crowd, to the higher or divine call of our salvation in Him.

A quest not many of us have today. To seat on the chair that the blood of lamb has kept it separated from others. Would you still like to go out so that you are able to see beyond the crowds into the most intimate place with Him?
