27 to whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
28 whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: - Colossians 1:27-28.

Underline: "and God would make known." What is it He would make known?
The issue of union/oneness/completion/the cross/Christ in you; is something that is brought about by the father and not by anything a believer can do on they're own. Union life is by the God action and birth of Christ in you the hope of glory! Why is it we cannot even get most professed believers to say they have Christ in them? The understanding in most of Christianity (christianity as a religion) is an outer gospel. Getting something from God, and doing something for God (keep the program moving)..and therefore we don't see Jesus. When we feel good about our understanding and have an idea the Spirit is leading you. That is good but cannot stay in what I know.. I must move and grow in him. A good test for believers is to.. see what they are learning. Now that has alot of implications because you will see alot of things.. before you see Christ as life. So the leading by the Spirit can be a teaching of many things..but the ultimate of the Spirit is to teach you Christ - the Christ in you as your only life, by revealing Christ in you-to you, Galatians 1:16.

You will not need any man confirm the revelation of Christ in you - you will know it is your father, Galatians 1:16. You will understand what you see! no man can show you, or teach you Christ. You see the father reserves this understanding for himself. What is meant by that? we can see and get alot of things from our father. He takes care of his children as a good father. But you will not have a revelation of Christ in you as your only life - Galatians 2:20 - until your father reveals it to you in his time - Galatians 1:15, 4:1-2. His timing, in His time..the element of time. In His time..you will know it, no man will have to confirm it to you.. although there are many to confirm what you are seeing in the father's time. By the revelation of Christ in them, Galatians 1:11-12. Christ revealed in believers - as their only life by the Spirit, Galatians 2:20.

This gospel truth has been established in the earth with it's many believers that have come to see Christ in them as they're only life as revealed by the Spirit! Religion has a hard time handling the things of God. The things of God cannot be controlled - therefore it is rejected by men and religion. And "yeah the deep things of God" does not exist in religion. If a program cannot be started to institute it's theology, religion; will reject the things of God as heresy. Anything that cannot be controlled in religion is immediately rejected and labeled as heresy. That is the only answer they have, and can give!

No thought given as to - this just may be of God! (as Gamaliel would say to the religious leaders of his day - Acts 5:39). It is rejected and they say; we have a institution that can control the things of God and we do not need anything else (revelation) to disrupt that. Revelation is the greatest enemy to religion because it looses it's hold on men and their understanding. For religion to be successful it must have those that are willing (mind) to participate.
