The kingdom of God abides in the realm of spirit. Jesus said, 'My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not of this realm.' Each chapter in this book is a stepping stone to open God's world to us. The book is not a roadmap, beginning in one place and ending in another. The realm of spirit is abstract. It does not conform to human logic. It must be seen by revelation from the Holy Spirit. Each stepping stone becomes one of the myriad gates through which God's kingdom opens to us. Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter by the gates into the city (Revelation 22:14).

The Mystery


Henry DuBose

We’re going to talk about a mystery. The word “mystery” is familiar to all of us. If it is a mystery, it is hidden. All the things of the Lord are a mystery. God is a mystery; everything about Him is a mystery. It is very difficult for people to break through and understand the mystery. God is in a different world altogether. Isaiah prophesied,My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, saith the Lord. Isaiah 55:8. Then in Malachi, He says, “I don’t change” (Malachi 3:6). So, who has to do the changing? We do! We have to do the changing. We must learn how to walk with the Lord. The truths of His world and His Kingdom must be revealed, and they are only revealed to those who have a heart to walk in them and live in them.

 

You might as well know right now that if you are open to God’s world, to know Him, to love Him, and to walk with Him, you will experience a lot of battle. Not only will the devil oppose you, but you will find your own human nature opposing you. It doesn’t want to die; it doesn’t want to give in. Human nature wants to control itself. It wants to be the lord, so when the Lord Jesus begins moving in your life, you will find yourself in the valley of decision (Joel 3:14).

 

Mark 4:11And He said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables.

 

To those who are without, Jesus spoke in parables. In other words, for those who are not within the realm of Spirit, those who do not have ears to hear, eyes to see, to them, it is just a mystery, just a parable.

 

We will look at a few verses of Scripture that speak of the mystery of God. There are a lot of them. You may want to pull out your Strong’s Concordance, look up the word “mystery,” and study the Scriptures where the word mystery is found. You not only have the mystery of the Gospel, the mystery of the Kingdom, the mystery of God, and the things of God, but you also have the mystery of iniquity. There are many mysteries found in the Scriptures.

 

Romans 16:25Now to Him that is of power to establish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began.

 

Your heart is the key to understanding the mysteries.Now to Him, that is of power to establish you according to my gospel…. Those brothers were quite bold. Can you imagine Paul saying,Now to Him that is of power to establish you according tomygospel? John was quite bold also. He saidWe are
