Paul said that “we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory” (1 Corinthians 2:7 KJV). This is the “power of God” (2:5) and it is revealed in you!
“Now to Him who is able to establish you according to [the] Gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery kept secret since the world began… to God, alone wise, be glory through Jesus Christ forever. Amen.”" (Romans 16:25, 27 NKJV).
The mystery is the power, and the power is in you.
Amen indeed!
