After doing a word search on the word mysteries and mystery I found that neither of these words are in the old testament The first time either of these words is mentioned in the Bible is Matthew 13:11, 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. Jesus was teaching on the law of seedtime and harvest . He started the parable by saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow.

As long as Jesus was in the earth He could explain to a point the mysteries of the kingdom of God to His disciples but he told them that it was expedient that He go away because if He go away He would send the Spirit of Truth to the them that would teach them all the truth. He told them that He had many things to say to them but they could not understand them now, meaning that without the Holy Spirit dwelling in them these mysteries could not be fully revealed. Jesus also said of the Holy Spirit that He would not speak of himself but whatsoever he hear me say that shall he speak.

Let's look at what the Apostle Paul had to say about the mysteries of God and how the Holy Spirit is going to reveal them.

1Co 4:1 Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.

1Co 13:2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

1Co 14:2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.

Paul said in another place, I speak in tongues more than you all. Why do you suppose Paul had all this revelation. Could it be because he talked to God in the Spirit more than any one else. I say yes it was. 1Corinthians 14:18 I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all. Why was Paul so thankful to be able to speak in tongues or in the spirit, or speak directly to God$%: This is how the mysteries were being revealed to him.

The more we speak in the spirit in tongues the more of the mystery of God's wisdom will be revealed to our spirit. It is the revealed knowledge of God's word that causes change in our lives. It causes Christ to be formed in us. When Christ is living through us then His love is flowing out of us and His riches are flowing to us and through us.

Col 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

When we speak in tongues we must do it in faith, knowing that the mysteries of God's will are being revealed to our spirit. Once we have revelation in our spirit to these mysteries our minds will be enlightened so we can apply them in our lives day by day.

No man can walk by faith with head knowledge of the word of God. It must first be revealed to our spirits. When we take our confession of the word of God before our High Priest, Jesus Christ as we studied earlier in this book and speak to God in the spirit with our heavenly language we are assured of the Revelation of Jesus Christ being revealed to us.

The law of seedtime and harvest is at work as these mysteries are revealed in us. We are born again by incorruptible seed which is the word of God. God plants this seed in our spirit and that seed grows into the full statue of Christ Jesus in us, first the blade, then the ear and then the full corn in the ear.

Jesus said of himself in John 12:24, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. He is talking about bringing forth much fruit in us through the Holy Spirit.

We must have God's wealth and riches revealed in us before they will manifest to us. Speaking in tongues every day will greatly expedite the process.
