Title: God is Not as Mysterious as Many May Think


1
Does God Really Work in Mysterious Ways?
  • Mysterious Ways

2
What Is The Mystery Behind God? Im sure that
youve heard that term over and over again, God
works in mysterious ways. To be honest with you,
there is nothing mysterious about God or the
things that He does and even in the things that
happen. The problem is, is that people just dont
get to know Him.
3
God will not reveal Himself to just anyone, He
keeps carnal man at a distance because man is
corrupt in his own nature. You see, it takes the
receiving of the Holy Spirit before we can become
in union with God and through the Holy Spirit,
God will teach us all about Himself.
4
In order for us to receive the Holy Spirit, the
Spirit of Truth, we have to purify ourselves. Our
bodies are like temples, they house our soul.
When our souls are corrupt by our own carnal self
then they are impure, dirty, full of things of
the word, sin and they are unholy. When it comes
to the Holy Spirit which is pure and Holy, the
Holy Spirit cannot reside within our self because
of all the darkness that inhibits our soul.
5
How Do We Purify Ourselves? It takes Jesus
Christ to show us the way to purifying ourselves.
Thats why we need to call on Him and build a one
on one relationship with Him. What matters most
is that we have to have a burning desire to do
this, we are going to have to make a commitment
to do this and it has to come from our heart in a
sincere way. Once you start on that road with
Jesus, theres no turning back.
6
The road is long and a laborious one at that, it
will take a lot of work and learning to strip
ourselves of our shortcomings and character
defects. Jesus will be right there as He guides
us along the way. Its a road that must be
traveled without fear, worries or doubts, but by
faith. As Jesus says, Renounce your life, take
up your cross and follow me. We are going to
need this cross to nail our flesh to.
7
When we reach a certain point in our journey,
Jesus will circumcise our flesh, strip away the
things of the flesh that cause us to be worldly
beings. Then our soul can go through the fire and
have all the dross burned off and become pure.
Your carnal eyes close and your spiritual eyes
open. In 1 Peter 412, Dearly beloved, think not
strange the burning heat which is to try you, as
if some new thing happened to you.
8
Once this has happened, then as Jesus says in
John 1416, 17, I shall ask the Father, and He
will give you another Advocate to be with you
forever, that Spirit of Truth whom the world can
never receive since it neither sees nor knows
him but you know him, because he is with you, he
is in you.
9
Then you begin on a spiritual journey to learn
spiritual things and most important, about God.
Youll begin to understand all about God and
youll find that He is not as mysterious as they
claim Him to be. May God Bless You Always
