• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too much,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy for
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect yesterday's
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to keep
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: us through today's challenges. On this program, we are going
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: to change all of that. Let's experience God's words today
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: and receive the power we need to live healthy, vibrant lives.

• 1:00
  Speaker 2: God Revealed. I like it, Mystery of God Revealed. We'll

  Speaker 2: build faith and fellowship. Let's pray bother. Thank you for
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: this day and for the opportunity that we have to
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: open up your word. I'm asking you God, please to
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: give us your holy spirit, fill us with your power,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: and please help us to be the revelation of your
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: truth in earth. In Jesus' name, I pray Amen and
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Amen again. Yes, yes, the mystery of God revealed. Let
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: me say something that may be jarring to some, but
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: it's the truth nonetheless. And so we have the Revelation
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: of Jesus Christ, which is of course the final book
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: in the Bible, the Christian Bible sixty six blessed books,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: the final one. Right there. Don't add anything, do not
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: remove anything that is the word of God. Good now,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: somebody asks me about the revelation, and then another person
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: talk to me about the revelation. And you know what,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: you You're not replacing the Bible. You're not becoming a vice. Jesus,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: please do not get this mixed up. But you, brothers
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: and sisters, are to the revelation of Jesus Christ in
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: the world. I said, you are to be the revelation
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: of Jesus Christ in the world. And what does that
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: mean when you let your light so shine. We don't
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: have light of our own that comes from God, comes
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: from Christ. Let your light so shine among men, so
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: that they may see your good works and glorify who
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: they cannot see, Our Father, which is in heaven. So
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: your life is to reveal or be a manifestation of
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: our Father, which is in heaven, of Jesus Christ, who
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: is the ultimate revelation of the will of God, the
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: revelation of the character of God. Like Jesus in his fullness,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: is all that God is. He's the fullness of the
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Godhead bodily. But without you, brothers and sisters on planet Earth,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: letting your light shine, shining as lights in this wicked
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: and perverse generation, nobody will well listen, people won't know God.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: You have to brighten the corner where you are. That's
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: why this gospel of the Kingdom has to be preached. Well,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: who's going to do that into all the world for
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: a witness? And then and only then shall the income.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: So you, brothers and sisters are a part of this
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: mystery relating to God being revealed in planet Earth. Now
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: let me go back to what the lesson writer has
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: taught us from the Bible Book of Colossians, Chapter one
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: and verse twenty six. We read the mystery that has
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: been kept secret for ages and generations has now been
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: revealed to his saints, has been revealed to his saints.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: That's you, brothers and sister. So once you receive this
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: year two, what share it with other people? Okay, the
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: mystery was not hidden to exclude humanity. It was hidden
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: u until the right moment in salvation history. What was
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: concealed in a promise is now revealed in Christ. So
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: a truth that was once hidden and now revealed is
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: what we're talking about, not some kind of philosophical speculation.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: I've seen all kinds of Bible code books that supposedly
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: expose us to or reveal some mysteries that normal human
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: beings can't get, except that the author wrote it down,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: not that it's the divine disclosure. God reveals what humanity
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: could never discover on our own, and so we needed
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: the Holy Ghost to show us who Jesus is. We
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: needed the Holy Ghost to begin to live the principles
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: that Jesus taught while he was on planet Earth. He said, Lo,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: I am with you always, even to the end of
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: the earth, though if I don't go home and to heaven.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: He's speaking to his disciples. Now, if I don't go,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: then the Holy Spirit will not come. He is going
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: to teach you all things whatsoever I have commanded to you,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: and I am with you alway, even until the end
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: of the earth. And so the mystery of God was
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: not hidden knowledge, but a revealed relationship. God is taking
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: us back to the beginning where He intended for Adam
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: and Eve and all of their descendants to be in
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: a right relationship with him. But something went wrong, and
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: so now the fullness of the God had bodily Jesus
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Christ now has to come to dwell among us to
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: reveal God his character, his love, his power to deliver us,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: and also and also to help us to become lights
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: shining in this wicked and perverse generation. Lessen Number two
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: comes in from the next verse, okay, chapter one and
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: verse twenty seven, which is Christ in you, the Hope
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: of glory. Now, let's put them together here. It is,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: let's read the verses together. Verse twenty six, Verse twenty six.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: The mystery that has been kept secret for ages and
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: generations but has now been revealed to His saints. Is
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Christ in you the hope of glory? Ding ding ding
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: ding ding? Is it clicking now? So what I was
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: saying earlier might have felt strange to some people, but
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: it's right here in the text. The mystery is not
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: merely Christ for us. That would be great, like thank
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: God for what he does for us. It's but it's
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Christ in us. Salvation is not external alignment. It's internal transformation.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: When God transforms us, then we become a part of
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: the transformative process for other people. If God can do
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: it for you, then he can do it for me.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: If he can do it for me, he can do
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: it for them and those people. If He can do
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: it for them, he can do it for other people.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: This is the indwelling presence of God that guarantees his
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: glory will be revealed. Paul intentionally uses language of internal
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Excuse me, residents, Christ is abiding in us. Christ does
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: not merely influence us. He's not on the internet putting
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: up videos all day every day and saying this is
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: the hair cream that I use. This is the stuff
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: I use on my face and my nails. These are
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: the kinds of cars I go to, These are the
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: kinds of restaurants. This is my assessment of the restaurants.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: And look what my friend brought me. My friend brought
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: me this thing, and I'm not going to put it up.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: My friend brought me this thing, and here's my evaluation
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: of it. We can get our money out. No, that's
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: not it. Like God is not an influencer. He's not
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: an influencer, no disrespect. I'm just saying he's not an influencer.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: He dwells in us, and he dwells in us by
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: faith so that other people can learn of him and
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: also be saved. And so the action step in this
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: regard is to invite Christ's daily to govern our thoughts,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: our choices, and our character so that his mystery, the
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: mystery of how good he is becomes a revelation in
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: their lives. And finally, the third lesson is the mystery
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: unites all believers into one redeemed family. I'm grateful that
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: God has revealed his mystery through us. Peace.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: live by bread alone, but by every word that comes
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: from the mouth of God. This has been your daily
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
