“Yet among the mature we do impart wisdom, although it is not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are doomed to pass away. But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him”— these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God. Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God.” 1 Corinthians 2:6-12 (ESV)
God has given us freely the revelations about what He is planning to do on the earth during this age through the Holy Spirit. If we have the anointing of the Holy Spirit, only then we have a connection between our spirit and the Holy Spirit dwelling in us and the impartation can take place from God’s Spirit to our spirit. 1 Corinthians 6:15-17 (ESV) Those who do not have the Holy Spirit, even if you are in a church and reading the Bible, you cannot understand anything and receive what the Spirit of God is doing, you will be spiritually dead and your wisdom remains earthly. Whereas the wisdom of this age is doomed and to pass away. So do not be fleshy minded, but grow up to be a spiritual person which will benefit you and God.
Daniel saw The Lord JESUS in Persia(Iran):
“I (Daniel)heard, but I did not understand. Then I said, “O my Lord(JESUS), what shall be the outcome of these things?” He said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end.” Daniel 12:8-9 (ESV)
During the rule of Cyrus king of Persia, Daniel fasted for 21 days, and whom he saw was Jesus; because the description he gives to the Man he saw is exactly fits the description what John gives when he saw Jesus on the island called Patmos. The Lord told Daniel almost all the history of the world in advance and the events happen in our time right now till the end. We can also have a close relationship with God like that, if you persevere and to put that extra effort to know His heart, which the Lord expects from each and everyone of us. John 5:39-44 (ESV) Whereas most of us all are settling down to just asking for the things we need for this world, which is soon going to pass away and of no much use. We have to go after eternal life.
John went to heaven and saw JESUS:
“And when the seven thunders had sounded, I(John) was about to write, but I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Seal up what the seven thunders have said, and do not write it down.”” Revelation 10:4 (ESV)
John with the Holy Spirit anointing went to heaven itself and saw God’s throne, saw the heavenly beings and the 24 elders who are there, and what they are discussing. Even Paul is talking about a man who was taken upto third heaven, which means there are first and second heavens to visit too! Jesus told us to get the power when we receive the Holy Spirit and be a good witness and warrior for Him. Jesus talked with His disciples about spiritual things only and asked them to be spiritual minded and He was upset when the disciples could not discern the spiritual teachings. Matthew 16:5-12 (ESV) Christian life is spiritual life. Let us forget the small physical things that are bothering us and to go for spiritual life, which is the abundant life Jesus came to give us and support Him praying in the Holy Spirit, to have His Kingdom established on earth. Earthly needs will be given to us freely.
