Deep Revelations

UV 777/10,000 Deep Revelations “He reveals deep and hidden things; He knows what lies in darkness, and light dwells with Him.” Daniel 2 v 22 Science and scientists, if they are truly scientific, should admit that they do not and cannot know everything. Though a lot has been given by God to the province of human knowledge, understanding and discovery, there is much that cannot be known through the methods of science. God and the secrets of the Lord are beyond the realm of science. This is the area that I call meta-cognition or what cannot be ordinarily known. But, nothing remains hidden or unknown to the Lord God. When we pray and remain in constant and intimate communion with Him, He reveals these mysteries, secrets and hidden truths. It is the spirit of man that searches out the deep and hidden things of man. It is the Holy Spirit that knows the deep secrets and truths of God that He choses to reveal. He will give us extraordinary knowledge, understanding and wisdom that is beyond the scope of discovery and study. When the wise men of the age were asked by Nebuchadnezzar to first recount his dream and then interpret it, they said that to be able to tell what the dream was lay only with God who did not dwell with people of flesh and blood. But, God soon showed how He dwelled not only in light but that He dwelled with Daniel. The result was that Nebuchadnezzar himself recognized that the God who dwelled with Daniel is the one true and living God. Daniel and his three friends were given knowledge of the then known literature and language and sciences. They were also given the gift of interpreting visions and dreams. The presence of God with us distinguishes us from the rest of humanity. Since we dwell in Him and He in us, His light reveals many aspects of the unknown future to us. Jesus Himself said, “ There is nothing hidden that will not be uncovered, nothing secret that will not be revealed.” But He sets the time for both revelation and fulfilment of the revelation. He tells us about former things that have happened in our past as well as things that are going to happen in prophetic revelation. Even certain truths about the present that are hidden from our knowledge will be made known to us if the Lord deems it necessary. When a dacoity took place in the district when I was the chief, I was directed to detect it in twenty four hours. I prayed, “ Lord, you know who’s done it. Please reveal it to us.” One of my Inspectors working on a clue, cracked the whole case in exactly twenty four hours for the glory of God. Several months before the 26/11 or the Mumbai terrorist attack, there was a prophetic word from the book of Chronicles that said, “ There will be a cry at the Harbour Gate. There will be wailing in the new quarter. Merchants of gold and silver will be eliminated.” It was so accurate. The attack actually started from the Gateway of India and the Chairman of a bank among other merchants were killed in the deadly attack. We as children of God can be privy to the secrets, the deep and hidden things as we seek and desire the gift of spiritual discernment from the Lord. The Psalmist David wrote, “The secret of the Lord is with them that fear Him. He will show them His covenant.” Prateep V Philip
