Phil3:10:
Arcturus,
How very true that our understanding of the mystery of GOD comes from the Spirit of GOD. I think GOD does not reveal these truths until we study, meditate, search and desire with all our heart to know these truths. All of CHRIST'S parables point out the need to seek, knock and ask along with an ardent heartfelt desire to know HIM. Paul said it best in I Corinthians 2:2, "For I determined not to know anything among you, save JESUS, and HIM crucified." He tells us why in verse 5, "That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of GOD." Paul concludes with the very essence of how our spiritual understanding and discernment is achieved in verses 6-16 of I Corinthians 2. I love to read this Chapter in the KJV.
But GOD reveals them to us by HIS SPIRIT, for the SPIRIT searches all things, Yes, the deep things of GOD. (verse 10)
OH, THE MIND of GOD. WE must seek after HIS spiritual mind diligently, carefully, prayerfully, and hopefully.

Hello Phil3 : 10
I enjoyed reading your post especially with the elaboration surrounding what Paul said. I have for some time now been an admirer of 1 Cor 2:2 so I particularly enjoyed what you brought forward that added to this beautiful Word of God. Thank you.
Peace to you brother

Phil3:10:
Arcturus,
Why do you think GOD chooses to reveal HIMSELF to each of us in different times, ways, places, and circumstances? I do think it is all from the SPIRIT of GOD. Why me and not someone else? I am sure it is HIS will and I don't question HIS will in any way. However, I do feel that spiritual growth is a big part in GOD's revealing HIMSELF but I always wonder why HE chose me. I know, that there but for HIS grace could go I.
I think most of the spiritually dead reside in the church system and I see real evidence that GOD is calling out more and more people. This is really a crazy question but I feel you will shed some light on my concerns.
In HIM,
Phil3:10

Did you study the teachings yet and find any answers?
There is no quick fix, short cut ways to understand God. God tells us that our thoughts are not His thoughts and our ways are not His ways. Even if we speak or write the same language we can not understand God unless God reveals Himself to us.
Understanding comes from the Spirit of God. All we can do here is point the direction out and encourage one another to study and meditate on the Word of God and what God says and what He means. This is like learning a new language of the Spirit of God.
Peace to you

Yes, I looked over the Lake of Fire series again as well as the secret rapture paper. I have another question in my Rest of Humanity post. Thanks

Hello Phil 3:10
What we know we know only in part. There is much more! We have to hold on to what we know and painfully proceed through many trials and tribulations. We do not yet know if we have been chosen because that is for those who remain faithful to the end.
Hope this helps :)
Hello mharrell08
I am happy you are studying! :)
Peace to you brothers
Arcturus :)
