OMBS7 Miracle/ The hidden things of God

PRAYER - "Paying for Breach of Contract" A three-year famine came to Israel in David's time, so he enquired of the LORD. God told him that it was because Saul had slain many Gibeonites. (Moses taught Israel to make no leagues with their enemies, but Joshua made a league of peace with the Gibeonites, "and the princes of the congregation sware unto them.") David had to make atonement with the Gibeonites. They wanted blood.   2 Samuel 21:6 - "Let seven men of his sons be delivered unto us, and we will hang them up unto the LORD, ...And the king said, I will give them." PRINCIPALS - "Sheba Attempts Another Coup" Sheba, a man of Belial (a devil), condemned and disowned David, trying again to overthrow him after Absalom died. David said that Sheba would "do us more harm than did Absalom." He sent his new captain, Amasa, in pursuit. Joab followed, too, but killed Amasa first, then pursued Sheba. Joab besieged the town called Abel, and a woman inside negotiated to throw Sheba's head over the wall to prevent their destruction. 2 Samuel 20:22 - "They cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and cast it out to Joab. ...Joab returned to Jerusalem unto the king." PRINCIPLES - "Divine Payback" When David first became a hero in Israel, Saul promised him his oldest daughter, Merab. But Saul reneged and gave her to Adriel. They had five children. Saul gave David his daughter Michal, who cursed David, and consequently, never bore any children. Michal raised the five children of Merab and Adriel. But God made David atone with the Gibeonites for Saul's sins. They demanded seven of Saul's sons be hanged - two by his concubine, and guess who else: 2 Samuel 21:8 - "...the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she brought up for Adriel." PROPHECIES - "The Giant-slayer Retires" Moses prophesied, "The LORD your God he shall fight for you." As David grew old, he "waxed faint" in battle with the Philistines. His men took over. Abishai smote Ishbibenob, a massive giant intent on killing David. Sibbechai slew Saph, another giant. Elhanan and Jaareoregin slew Goliath's brother. Finally, David's nephew, Jonathan slew a fourth giant from Gath. When your strength fails, God will take care of you. 2 Samuel 21:17 - "The men of David sware unto him, saying, Thou shalt go no more out with us to battle, that thou quench not the light of Israel."

Blessed art thou...for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. – Matthew 16:17

Remember when you went to school and learned your ABCs? You learned them by using your five senses and your logical abilities to gather information and sort it out. That kind of knowledge is called natural knowledge and it's the only kind most people know anything about. But in the kingdom of God, there's another kind of knowing. One that works its way from the inside out instead of from the outside in. It's called revelation knowledge. Jesus spoke about this kind of knowledge in Matthew 16. He'd just asked the disciples, "Who do you say I am?" Peter had answered Him by declaring, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." "Blessed are you, Simon," Jesus responded, "because flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father which is in heaven." In other words, Jesus was saying, "Peter, you didn't learn this information through your physical senses. You received it another way. You received it directly from God." If you've ever had a revelation like that, you know that when it comes, it changes things. It makes you see old things in an entirely new light. It gives you such unshakable confidence that, as Jesus said to Peter, "The gates of hell can't prevail against you." But revelations like that don't come easily. You have to meditate the Word and search the Spirit of God for them because they are "hidden" in Him. The Bible says God has hidden His wisdom for the saints (1 Cor. 2:7-9). Notice, He's hidden it for you, not from you. He wants you to have it. Don't think, however, that God is just going to drop great revelations into your lap while you're watching television. You have to seek Him. If you're hungry for revelation knowledge, get yourself in a position to receive it by meditating the Word, praying and fellowshiping with the Lord. Begin to receive those revelations from Him. It's the most exciting kind of learning there is.
