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. 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. We need to observe the pictures God
shows us as quickly as possible so that they don’t float away or blow away like
the wind, but, in fact, become substance.
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 sharing them 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.
