The law of readiness.

The law of readiness.

“I have yet many things to say to you: but you cannot bear them now.”
John 16:12

You must also understand the law of readiness if you are going to hear consistently from God. There are certain things God cannot discuss with you unless you grow. If you do not take your spiritual growth seriously, there are certain things God will not be able to tell you because you would not be able to understand them.

Hebrews 5:11(CEV) says, “Much more could be said about this subject. But it is hard to explain, and all of you are slow to understand.” The deep things of God cannot be revealed to you until you are ready for them and one of the ways you make yourself ready is by growing spiritually.

1 Corinthians 3:1 says, “And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.” There are certain things God cannot say or share with you if you are a child spiritually and not able to bridle your tongue. Children talk without restrain that is why you do not tell secrets to children.

Paul said in 1 Corinthians 12:3-4, “And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.” Why could God entrust such revelations to him? He was mature enough to bear them and keep them in trust. God will not trust you with His secrets until you are mature enough.

Prayer.
Dear Father, I ask that you give to me the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of You; may the eyes of my understanding be enlightened that I may know the hope of Your calling and the riches of Your glorious inheritance in the saints, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
