Hidden Sins


     OK, so we're not murderers, not thieves, not adulterers, not drunkards, not gluttons, not slanderers...or are we? We might have a few sins that are not really hidden. We probably recognize them when we look at ourselves and other people probably recognize them in us also. I would love to talk here about people who are Christians that let road rage or their stomachs control there thoughts and actions, but this blog is for a different purpose. 
     There are a second set of sins that we need to be concerned with. 
   The sins of some men are quite evident, going before them to judgment; for others, their sins follow after. 1 Timothy 5:24
     The first set of sins are quite evident to all and as scripture says, they will go before us into Judgment, but then there are sins that are hidden but will follow us, do you think those might be unforgiveness, bitterness, judgment and some that might be hidden in our deceiving hearts? 
     “The heart is more deceitful than all else
And is desperately sick; Who can understand it? Jeremiah 17:9     There are teachings to help people be healed and set free from the effects of things that have happened in their past. The healing and being set free can take a while to work through, I have a friend that is a Prophet, and they have shared that the face of a person that had wronged them in a much earlier time in their lives, 40 years to be exact, was brought before them by the Holy Spirit, they were shown that they had unforgiveness for the person and HAD to forgive this person! God takes unforgiveness very seriously, His scriptures talk about it a LOT! 
     For if you forgive others for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions. Matthew 6:14-15
     We are forgiven for everything we confess....and repent from, but what if we hold unforgiveness in our hearts or spirits, it can be so deep that we can ignore that it's even there!
     Please take time to say a cleansing prayer, ask the Holy Spirit to show you any unforgiveness that you may harbor, and then be still and let Him show you, confess your unforgiveness, choose to forgive those He shows you, ask Him to help you forgive, let yourself be cleansed from the effects of unforgiveness! Release those people to the Holy Spirit to deal with, after you forgive them then you are free to be made whole and holy, free to be healed, free to move on from the past. 
     This will take more than one time, I'm beginning to believe it needs to be done daily! Remember my friend the Prophet, they thought they were walking in forgiveness but yet had someone brought to them from 40 years before! Some things our hearts hide from us, and not for our own good!
     Pray for yourselves, pray that there are no hidden sins in your life, pray that all is revealed to you to deal with.....He won't reveal it all at one time, we probably couldn't bear it, so it needs to be an ongoing prayer. Daily pray to be shown any area that may be holding you back from being made whole and holy.
