BLURRY PICTURES REVEALING
THE MYSTERIES OF GOD
God will
show us small pictures or visions at any time of the day or night, and not just
when we are praying. He does it while we’re listening to someone or reading, while
we are speaking or even just daydreaming, while we’re working, playing, anytime
at all. They can seem to come “out of nowhere,” but they’re not out of nowhere.
They
are pictures from the Lord. They usually have
an ethereal, light, almost transparent quality
and if we don’t grab them, they flee or drift off like a wave or a vanish like
a wisp of smoke from a cigarette. But God wants us to grab those blurry pictures and look at them, really look at
them because it’s when we observe them, that they become substance. The particles
come together, and the picture is solid and clear.
Research in Quantum
Mechanics has shown that an electron or a photon of light existing in the form of a wave changes into a particle
when observed. The remarkable double slit experiment studied the nature of
subatomic phenomena. A photon of light was to pass through two slits. When not observed, it acted as a wave. But when observed,
it acted like a particle.
It’s much
easier to get God’s picture message if we describe the picture out loud or if
we write it down. I’m often surprised at how many details my mind actually observed
in a God-given picture message, once I start to focus on it and try to describe
it—more details than I initially thought existed. When we concentrate on bringing
the wave image into a clear image, we are going to get the revelation God intended.
We are
told several places in the Bible that we as believers can “crack” some of the
mysteries of God as He reveals them to us. We do it through Christ. Colossians
1:27 says we have Christ in us. Jesus always received and understood the
messages God showed Him. The Christ in us does that for us today.
Jesus
told His disciples they would receive the knowledge of certain mysteries that
others may not be able to grasp. “He answered and said unto them, ‘Because it
is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them
it is not given’” (Matt. 13:11).
In Luke
8:10 He told His disciples that they could know the mysteries of how God operates,
but others would have to be told in parables because they wouldn’t be able to
see as clearly, spiritually, as those who had spent time with the Master.
“And he [Jesus] said, ‘Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might
not see, and hearing they might not understand’” (Luke 8:10). When we see
through our spiritual eyes, we have the privilege to focus and the Christ in us
works quickly to put those wavy, ethereal pictures into solid particles of revelation.
Have you ever
wondered why God is so mysterious, why He doesn’t always talk to us in a distinct
and unique human voice, rather than in such clandestine ways? Proverbs 25:2 tells us: “It is the glory of God to conceal a thing, but the honor of
kings is to search out a matter.”
God wants us to have a relationship with Him. He wants us
to seek Him. When He gives us a message in a wavy, fleeting vision, He wants us
to capture it, seek it out, or it will quickly
disappear. Kings search out a matter. And
in Revelation 1:5-6 Jesus calls us the kings: “Jesus loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, and hath made us kings and
priests unto God and his Father.” Jesus is the King of kings, and He’s so happy to be with us and let us in on the great
mysteries of His Father, God. He knows we will delight in knowing things He knows and fellowshipping with Him.
I don’t
know if every born-again believer sees these small pictures, blurry snapshots, and translucent images, but if you are
someone who does see them, next time take notice. Stop and focus because God is
revealing to you one of the mysteries of heaven.
There are mysteries to be cracked,
and we are the kings to do it.
