When God shows us something
that He has kept hidden until Now,
we call it a Present Day Truth.

(Excerpt from Children of Tomorrow)

Present Day Truth is the understanding that God still speaks to all of His children. When you know that God is talking to you, it changes how you thought before He did and it becomes your Present Day Truth.

God is speaking to you and He desires for you to hear what He is saying. Doing so will bear great fruit in your life because by hearing His voice and applying or obeying what He is telling you, is the way you learn to walk in the spirit so that your soul grows to maturity.

Mind of Christ = Christ Spirit

Hearing and understanding the words of your spirit brings a comprehension that causes your thinking to change so that you begin to think like Jesus thinks. This is changing you into the image of Christ!

The more we grow in the knowledge of Christ, the more we realize how much more there is to know. The Bible says that God keeps many things hidden until His set time of revelation. It would be the height of arrogance for us to think that we know all there is to know about the things of God. There are many, many Present Day Truths that He has reserved to be revealed in us, as the Body of Christ. They are things that God has kept secret until this time because they relate to what He is doing in us now. The Apostle Paul understood this when he wrote about the mysteries of God to be revealed in these latter days. He said it was a mystery (something that hadn’t been revealed before) that blindness in part had happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles be fulfilled and that there would be one body of people (The Body of Christ) made up of Gentiles and Israel. It was also a mystery that Jesus was to be the sacrifice for all mankind. He said if it had been known, Satan never would have crucified Him.

The Present Day Truth of Jesus’ time was heralded from the Heavens on the day He was born.

And shepherds were in the same country living in the fields and keeping guard over their flock by night. And, behold, an angel of the Lord came on them. And the glory of the Lord shone around them. And they feared with a great fear.

And the angel said to them, Do not fear. For, behold, I proclaim good news to you, a great joy, which will be to all people, because today a Savior, who is Christ the Lord, was born to you in the city of David. And this is a sign to you: You will find a babe having been wrapped, lying in the manger.

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying,

“Glory to God in the highest, and peace on earth, good will among men.” Luke 2:8-14

Until that time, the best man could hope for was a bloody sacrifice to cover his sins so that he would be acceptable to God. From the beginning in the garden, man was destined to sin and had a need for a redeemer. The Savior, Jesus, was preordained as God in the flesh to become that prototype for all men; man with a spirit of God alive in him, purposed to bring maturity to his soul and thereby becoming one with God – a tabernacle where man and God abide together as one!

With the birth of Jesus, God revealed that He was not the angry vengeful God of Wrath that no one could please, but was taking upon Himself the ministry of reconciliation, so that by His own death, all men could be redeemed and that this was in the Father’s Plan all along.

God’s Plan for Man didn’t start when He made Adam in the garden. Before anything was made, God perfected his plan inside Himself and insured that everything would happen as He purposed it.

When He created Adam and said that it was good, it wasn’t that Adam was the epitome of what man was to be. On the contrary, he was the progenitor of the human race, the first of his kind, but he was only a preliminary form of what man was to ultimately become. In fact, we don’t know exactly what Adam was like or what he lost when he ate from the tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. We do know that the perfect relationship he had with God before that time was broken and God called it death. We also know that as great as it was for him in Eden, our destiny is to become more than he was at the beginning.

Adam was created by being formed as a man from the dust of the Earth. Then God breathed into this body “the Breath of Life” and Adam became a living soul. As a consequence, Men are limited to this physical, natural world we live in, but God’s plan is for them to become something much greater, spirit. His plan is for them to be sons, reflections of Him as His children. For that to happen they have to change, so from the very beginning it was necessary for Adam to leave the perfect incubational conditions of the garden, to enter a world where good and evil are forces of change. Through this experience, men develop an understanding that none of God’s other created beings have and are being prepared to become the sons they are destined to be.

This was such a controversial truth that many have a hard time accepting it today, but the Bible is clear that:

…Not with corruptible things, silver or gold, were you redeemed from your worthless way of life handed down from your father, but with precious blood of Christ, as a lamb without blemish and without spot, indeed having been foreknown before the foundation of the world, but revealed in the last times because of you. 1 Peter 1:18-20

As God has revealed more about what happened to us at Salvation, it gave us a better understanding about the difference between our soul and spirit. Now, learning to hear and obey His voice in our spirit, we are developing a stronger, more victorious walk in spirit. We are learning what it means to be overcomers in our own lives and our faith is growing because of it.

It’s not that students of the Word haven’t studied these things before, but as we become more mature, we are able to understand more of what He is telling us and Now, He is opening doors of understanding to prepare a people to walk as kings and priests in the Earth. Because of that, He is clarifying things that we only partially understood before. This means that we have to be willing to accept what He is revealing Now as Truth and let it become foundational in our understanding.
