This is a challenge to consider the language of the bible on a personal plain; not to be used against someone else. These understandings are personal; and the witness than, comes from our mouth, and speaks of a humbling affect. The Word of God becomes food for those who hear it with understanding. How is this language hidden?

I think much of it is imparted by God in our hearts and our minds are not aware of it until something happens to release it. We go through life and the Word of God trickles out as long as we have the Word of God inside of us. At other times we open our mouths to say something and amazing things come out that couldn't have came from us.

The way the language many times is hidden is that it is a single word that jumps at us and becomes almost a page of insight at least that is how it feels.

I was going to share one of those experiences but I think I would look like a flake to most everyone who didn't have the same experience. When I shared it in Church most of the people looked at me like I was nuts but there was two other people with the same revelation and we were jumping up and down with excitement while everyone else looked at us like we were crazy.

I like your reply, and your pic gives a bit of insight into what's on your mind, lol. If you're wanting to share a witness, and feel a little uneasy about it, send me a message. I gave my witness under the thread "Miracles"

I couldn't agree with you more about opening the mouth and amazing things coming out. It still is a mystery to me even though I see it happening. I know it's the Spirit. I've had several experiences in as many different ways. I've experience a word or a sentence standing out of a verse, a revelation from something I've read over many times before and didn't see it. I don't mind letting people know I'm being shown creation language. I know it sounds a bit hard to believe until a person takes a minute to consider something I've been shown.

Thanks for sharing this with me. You've answered one facet of my thread, "Hidden in plain sight, from plain sight."

One of the many ways to know a good witness, is when the words come easly, and the words not only witness to others, but to the one giving the witness in Jesus.

in Jesus, God bless.

Possibly, the language is hidden by ignorance?
In my own life, wise advice from my elders was "hidden" by my lack of understanding and disobedience. What they had said then, that makes pefect sense now, seemed almost unexistant. In my head, what they would say had an affect like; WOOSH! (so far over my head that what they said was incomprehensible; thus non existant.)

:eek:

I can identify with your perception concerning things that are hidden. To give witness of the sacrifice of the Lamb, that language is hidden; But when we give a personal witness of our own sinful lives, having a need to be saved even from ourselves; we become what is necessary for those who are troubled in their sin to understand the purpose of the sacrifice.

Thank you.

Boy, can I identify with that; In my sin nature there was no desire for a personal relationship with our Heavenly Father. The personal witness of Christ's work on the cross was given to me; but I was so blind in my sin that I could not see why these people were giving witness as if it were the most important thing in their lives. I was shown that significance the day I was found on my knees pleading for God's mercy, desiring nothing else but His compassion for a sinner like me.

It's an awesome personal revelation to say, "A friend in Christ"

Amen yaright, all is to the glory of God in Jesus. :)
The most amazing thing one comes to know in Jesus, is not just seeing that which is hidden, but how all understanding interconnects, supporting and conferming the truth given.
When this understanding is given, all and any scripture supports it, alive and given in Jesus Christ is Lord through the Holy Spirit.
Like Grace following upon grace!

in Jesus, God bless.

I chose the name "Prophecy: Hidden In Plain Sight" when I wrote my book. What is interesting is that many people do not realize the prophecies hidden in the 7 feasts of the Lord, and the practise of the Jubilee. In Genesis Chapter 6 God reveals to us that He will strive with man 120 years. Is God still striving with man today? Yes he is so we know that this is a prophecy of Jubilees. 120 Jubilees times 50 years= 6000 years. So there are many things hidden in scripture, that we never even recongnized as prophecy. The Lord is so good to His people.

The word of YHVH is food for those who hear, and also judgement for those who reject it.

I've heard that thought before and find it intriguing to say the least. Especially when you do the math. It puts us at the door of millenial reign, which according to endtime prophecy, we are. Amen, YHVH is good to His children.

The only way I can answer this is from my own experience, there was a time when I read the Bible and it never seemed to be like it was teaching me anything. Almost like it was written for someone else and I was simply observing.

It was only when the Holy spirit was given and taught me that I can understand what you mean, by hidden in plain sight...

we have plain sight, it is the Holy spirits sight that can reveal to us what is meant by what is written.
