“But know that the Lord has set apart him that is godly for Himself….” Psalm 4:3
There is much that yet remains hidden, which the Lord desires to reveal to those who intimately desire Him, and are willing to come apart to spend quality time with Him - alone.
“The eyes of your understanding being enlightened;
that you may know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the
glory of His inheritance in the saints.” Ephesians 1:18
To these “set apart” ones, He is saying,
“…Come up here,
and I will show you things which must be hereafter.” Revelation
4:1
It is the Lord’s
desire that we become one to whom the “mysteries
of the Kingdom” will be revealed.
“…It is given to
you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not
given.” Matthew 13:11
Our coming into this
realm of “spiritual vision” requires
being “separated” from all that is
seemingly good, in order to be brought to the best. Therefore, many
weights (acceptable things not born of the
spirit) must be laid aside, that we might ascend into this “set apart place” of unhindered union with
Jesus, in the outworking of His end-time purposes.
“…Rise up, My
love, My fair one, and come away ...look
from the top of Amana, from the top of Shenir and Hermon….” Song of Solomon 2:10, 4:8
For those responding
to this call into the higher realm of spiritual vision and insight, there is a
priceless reward.
“I press toward the mark for the prize of the high
calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:14
