KEY SCRIPTURE:” John 18:4 KJV “Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?”

This verse says the Lord Jesus knew all things that would be happening to him, and so was always ready for whatever was ahead of Him.

He was never taken by surprise by any situation that concerned Him. There were also certain occasions when He expressed that certain matters were in the domain or control of the Father in Acts 1:6, His disciples asked Him, When are you going to give the kingdom back to Israel? The Lord answered as follows: ” It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.” This was a matter He expressed ignorance about.

What does the Lord’s admittance of ignorance about certain matters suggest? It shows that by taking on the nature of a man, He had left His glory as God. This meant He had to trust the Holy Spirit to tell Him all things. It also meant He had to work very hard to be always in tune to the Holy Spirit The issue of the crucifixion, was a matter that concerned Himself, and so He had to be on top of it.

One of the biggest challenges of most people of God is that they are always taken unawares about many things, including spiritual matters., relationships, social, and even dangers that may befall them.

How can one develop his or her spiritual senses to know these things? This is done by growing in our fellowship with the Spirit. As one grows in fellowship with the Spirit, his spirit nature also grows. Our spirit nature has eyes and ears as our natural man. It grows through spiritual exercises.

What to do:

1. Decide to be very serious about spiritual matters.

2. Study the bible diligently.

3. Pray much in the Holy Ghost, as you maintain a very calm heart to hear from the Lord.

4. Spend some moments each day, meditating on the word of God.

5. Be prompt at doing whatever the Spirit instructs in the word.

As you do the above steps, you would grow to know through your developed spiritual senses all that you must know.

THOUGHT: GROW YOUR SPIRITUAL SENSES INTO SPIRITUAL ADULTHOOD.
