THE HIDDEN ONES
There is a Company of “Hidden Ones”. They are hidden because they are special. You generally hide treasures, or things special to you. The Lord has His “hidden Ones”, because they are his treasures. Beloved Sons of God, you are a treasure to our God, even The Lord Jesus Christ, the Redeemer of the world. We shall see where they are.
Let me say at the start, that if you are reading this and you have never been born again then you can receive Jesus right now. I have often spoken to many confessing religious people over the years and asked this same question, “are you born again?” Invariably the answer comes, “what do you mean?” Jesus died on the cross as the sinless Lamb of God, for the sin of the world so that mankind could be reconciled back to right relationship with God. But each of us has to make this personal, and accept that salvation into our lives by faith. The Grace of God will flow, and if you believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, that He died for you, and that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. Confess this with your mouth and surrender your life to Him. His Spirit will come into you and you will be saved. Bless you.
In Job 5:17-23, it says V17, “happy (or blessed) is the man whom God corrects. “Correction” literally means here, “to reason with, or reprove”, therefore, despise not the chastening (or instruction) of the Almighty”. If The Lord has His hand of correction on you beloved, you are blessed. You see, most mainline believers relate blessing as to what temporal things they get from God, or their needs met. He does this too, but we are talking another thing here.
In 2 Samuel 7:14, relating to Solomon. Remember that Solomon is the type of the Kingdom day ministry (V12 David’s seed Solomon, building a kingdom house unto God), the prophet Nathan said:
• I WILL BE His Father and He shall be My Son. This beloved, is the relationship principal of the Sons of God. Father/Son. Sons know Him as Abba Father, which is where the Spirit and soul combine to call out to Him. This is the principal upon which the following is built. A loving Father/Sons relationship.
• V14 IF he commits iniquity (to act perversely). Not sin but the weaknesses of his flesh. You see God wants to perfect us to where our weaknesses are burnt out. The religious keep talking of sin, even though they say that their sins are forgiven. The weaknesses relate to the remnants of the Adamic nature which He will burn out.
• V14 I WILL chasten him with the rod of men and with the stripes of the children of men. In other words He will allow us to be exposed to natural dealings. His purpose is to perfect His Sons, not punish them. Remember that this is a blessed thing, although you may not think it in the natural at the time, but keep your heart to the Word. The Lord uses natural circumstances to perfect. This often isolates and hurts. Psalm 38:11, David said “my lovers and friends stand aloof from my sore, and my kinsfolk stand afar off”. So don’t think that you are the only one feeling these things. It happens to all the Sons of God.
• V15 BUT My mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it away from Saul. You see His chastening is with His mercy. He does not want to harm, He wants to perfect.
• V16 AND his House, Kingdom and Throne will be established forever.
Here we have the five-fold declaration of perfecting. Remember that “five” is the Spiritual number of “Grace”. This is all about His Grace in bringing His Sons to perfection.
• I AM His sovereignty
• IF Our weaknesses
• I WILL His correcting
• BUT His Grace
• AND His accomplishment
Beloved understand and accept this operation truth into our lives.
Now, back in Job 5:17, the person of God who chastens is The Almighty. “Almighty” here is “Al Shaddai”, His personal name meaning “the all-sufficient one”. Even in correcting, His all sufficiency is there for us after His dealing. This is seen in the following V 18,19:
- He makes sore, causes pain, sorrow and grief,
- And He Binds up. He Heals, makes strong and mends the broken hearted
- He wounds, smites, strikes
And He makes whole, and heals
V19 says He will deliver you in six troubles and in seven no evil will touch you.
THE 6/7 HIS DELIVERANCE
Famine, hunger Redeem from death
War From the power of the sword
The scourge of the tongue Hidden from
Destruction No fear
Destruction and famine Laugh at it
Beasts of the field No fear
Evil, bad Will not touch you
Now in V21 we have the revelation of the “HIDDEN ONES”. Here in Job we are told that we will be HIDDEN from the scourge of the words of man. I guess we have all encountered that at some time, but in this dealing of perfection, He is HIDING us from this. The words of the worldly man or religious man will not find us. Words are often sent to destroy, but our Lord has us HIDDEN.
We find this in Zion in Psalm 83:2,3 – “His enemies make a tumult, and those that hate Him lift up their head”. V 3 “they take crafty counsel against His people, and consult against His “HIDDEN ONES”.
Beloved, Revelation 12 says that satan is waiting to devour the Manchild Company when it is born.
Psalm 83:
V4 - they say let us cut them off.
V5 - they consult together in agreement
The enemy will try to use the mouths of enemies to destroy us, but the Lord has a response born out of Zion. The prophet in Zion here gave us a hiding place:
V9 - The Lord will “do unto them”
V13 - they will be as stubble
V15 - they will be persecuted and fear
V16 - they will be put to shame that they may seek the Lord
V17 - they will be confounded and troubled, put to shame and perish
AND the purpose will be V18, “That men may know whose Name alone is JEHOVAH is the Most High over all the earth.
This is speaking of His Kingdom Day when His Sons will be unleashed on this earth to reveal Him as King of Kings and Lord of Lords to subdue all things unto Him.
Beloved Sons of God, be not afraid for we are the “HIDDEN ONES” from the counsel, words and schemes of the enemy. Be strong in our God. Stand in the response birthed in Zion for us. The Lord will accomplish His purposes against which the enemy is defeated before he even lays his schemes against us.
To any of those who know you have schemed against the Sons of God and laid plots from your ungodly counsel, I say to repent whilst you can. The Bible says in Psalm 105:15 to “touch not His anointed and do My prophets no harm”. You will be confounded and troubled and put to shame, for you fight against the Almighty. It is a fearful thing to fall into the Hand of the Living God.
His Mercy is there for you. If you do not see or understand the Truth of the Manchild of God, do not fight against it in your ignorance, and do not come against His Elect, for you will come under the words of Psalm 83.
To my brothers and sisters in the womb with me, I encourage you. Trust in the Lord. Remember that “many are the afflictions of the Righteous, but He delivers out of them all”.
I call on you the Blessing out of Zion.
ALL GLORY TO JESUS
