UNDERSTANDING THE MYSTERY OF PRAYER

& Engaging your imagination in prayer

1 Cor 2:9-16 [9] But, on the contrary, as the Scripture says, What eye has not seen and ear has not heard and has not entered into the heart of man, [all that] God has prepared (made and keeps ready) for those who love Him [who hold Him in affectionate reverence, promptly obeying Him and gratefully recognizing the benefits He has bestowed]. [Isa 64:4; 65:17.] [10] Yet to us God has unveiled and revealed them by and through His Spirit, for the [Holy] Spirit searches diligently, exploring and examining everything, even sounding the profound and bottomless things of God [the divine counsels and things hidden and beyond man's scrutiny]. [11] For what person perceives (knows and understands) what passes through a man's thoughts except the man's own spirit within him? Just so no one discerns (comes to know and comprehend) the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. [12] Now we have not received the spirit [that belongs to] the world, but the [Holy] Spirit Who is from God, [given to us] that we might realize and comprehend and appreciate the gifts [of divine favor and blessing so freely and lavishly] bestowed on us by God.

Deep unto deep- mystery of prayer

1 Cor 2:9-16 [13] And we are setting these truths forth in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the [Holy] Spirit, combining and interpreting spiritual truths with spiritual language [to those who possess the Holy Spirit]. [14] But the natural, non spiritual man does not accept or welcome or admit into his heart the gifts and teachings and revelations of the Spirit of God, for they are folly (meaningless nonsense) to him; and he is incapable of knowing them [of progressively recognizing, understanding, and becoming better acquainted with them] because they are spiritually discerned and estimated and appreciated. [15] But the spiritual man tries all things [he examines, investigates, inquires into, questions, and discerns all things], yet is himself to be put on trial and judged by no one [he can read the meaning of everything, but no one can properly discern or appraise or get an insight into him]. [16] For who has known or understood the mind (the counsels and purposes) of the Lord so as to guide and instruct Him and give Him knowledge? But we have the mind of Christ (the Messiah) and do hold the thoughts (feelings and purposes) of His heart. [Isa 40:13.]

he that speaks in unknown tongue speaks not unto man but unto the Lordhowever in the spirit he speaketh mysteries 1 Cor 14:2 However in the spirit he explores the deep and secret thoughts and purposes of God 1 Cor 2:9-10, Ps 42:7; Ps 92:5-6

MYSTERY OF PRAYER
Mystery> secret>hidden It is part of Gods nature to hide Himself, His plans and his thoughts. 1 Cor 2:7but we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the world unto our glory 1 Cor 2:11 even so the things of God knoweth no man but the Spirit of God One of the reasons for this phenomenon is because God loves and demands that Man should seek Him Ps 27:8 As God hides himself, man is motivated, challenged, stimulated to look for Him(seek him) So as we pray in tongues, we carry with us the attitude of a seeker which then prepares our hearts to receive from God.

PROPHETIC UNCTION
I have called you for a day and an hour such as this, a day for people to seek me A day for my people to dwell in me A day for my people to believe in me The day that I have made for the fulfillment of my purposes on the earth. Seek me and I will reveal my counsel unto you Deep things Sacred things Secret things For the fulfillment of my glory on earth I love you

ENGAGING YOUR IMAGINATION

1 Chron 28:9 And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the Lord searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee Prov 6:16-18 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:[17] A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, . An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, Prov 23:7For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.

ENGAGING YOUR IMAGINATION

Gen 6:5-6 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. Gen 11:6 And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Ps 19:14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation[imagination] of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.

PRAYER IS A SPIRITUAL DECORDER

Prov 20:27 The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, searching all the inward parts of the belly.[KJV] Rom 8:27 And He Who searches the hearts of men knows what is in the mind of the [Holy] Spirit [what His intent is], because the Spirit intercedes and pleads [before God] in behalf of the saints according to and in harmony with God's will. [Ps 139:1,2. [AMP]

THROUGH PRAYER DEEP CALLS UNTO DEEP Ps 42:7

Q -I wonder how deep i must get to
before the oil starts to gush out

Ans -The deeper the purer

The deeper the more inexhaustible The deeper the more the reach The deeper the pressure [you will bring to bear on the hearts of men] The largest quantity of oil is found in the high seas, away from land The more away you can stay, the more alone you can go The more the resources that would be available

DEEP CALLS UNTO DEEP

Deep attracts deep Deep communion attracts deep revelation Thoughts calls unto thoughts The thoughts of God brings creativity to the mind of man As a man thinks in his heart so is he The thoughts of God are very deep Counsel in the heart of man is as deep waters, a man of understanding (revelation) draws it out The more of Gods thoughts you think about the more creative, receptive and sensitive the spirit mind becomes; pro 20:5,27

MYSTERY OF PRAYER
Prov 20:5 Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out.

KJV
