SCRIPTURE
"No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him." But we know these things because God has reveled them to us by his Spirit, and His Spirit searches our everything and shows us even God's deep secrets.
1 Corinthians 2:9-10
OBSERVATION
Only the Spirit of God can reveal the deep things of God. And God does not run out of secrets. He has prepared a clear path for each one of us and He wants to reveal each step at the proper time. He wants to show us the next step we must take and the right way to make crucial decisions. He wants to reveal new things that we are not even looking for. But according to Paul, we need to be soaked in the Spirit to be able to be in the same page to hear God in deeper places. Secrets are shared to people that are closer, not only in distance, but also in affection. Paul is encouraging us to have an intimate communion with the Spirit of God and as a result, the deep secrets of God for our lives will be revealed.
APPLICATION
During the time of fasting we are preparing to have, we must be expecting deeper revelations from God, hidden things to be found, and clear direction from Him. But more than anything, we will be able to have an encounter with the Lord that will reignite our passion for Him. We will see things that we have never seen before. We will hear things we have never hear before. We will imagine possibilities that could not be considered before. But all these cool blessings come because our desire to seek the Spirit's input in our lives. We need to humble ourselves before God and reach closer to His throne to the place where all His secrets are revealed. Through the Spirit of God we can approach closer to hear the conversations the heavenly Father has with Jesus about us. We will hear His plans, we will see a fresh vision that will make us more dependent in the presence of the Holy Spirit.
PRAYER
Dear heavenly Father, please prepare our hearts to expect new and deep revelations from your heart to ours. Speak the words that we have never heard before. Let us see your plan for our lives like we have never seen it before. And let us imagine what your Spirit wants. Give us fresh vision for our personal lives and for our ministry. Bring us closer to you, but not just to get information from you, but to be more in love with you. Amen!
