Sin! Plain and simple

Secret motives

"So do not make any hasty or premature judgments before the time when the Lord comes [again], for He will both bring to light the secret things that are [now hidden] in darkness and disclose and expose the [secret] aims (motives and purposes) of hearts. Then every man will receive his [due] commendation from God." 1 Corinthians 4:5 AMP

Be constantly on guard of the secrets and motives, good or bad, in which you have hidden in your heart, because, in due time, your secrets and motives will be revealed, and you will reap  consequences accordingly.  Therefore, make sure to keep your heart full of motives and secrets that uplift, bless, and are in line with God's Word, and, in turn, you will be uplifted and blessed by the One - Jesus Christ.  And, boy oh boy, when He uplifts and blesses, life turns into an amazing journey.

Courage and boldness

"... And may God also give you discernment and understanding when he puts you in charge of Israel so that you will rule in reverent obedience under God's Revelation.  That's what will make you successful, following the directions and doing the things that God commanded Moses for Israel.  Courage!  Take charge!  Don't be timid; don't hold back..."  

1 Chronicles 22:11-16

Courage and boldness: Characteristics necessary to bring others to Christ and to make a difference in this world.  

The light will eventually catch up to the dark.

"So have no fear of them; for nothing is concealed that will not be revealed, or kept secret that will not become known." Matthew 10:26 AMP

Secrets will only be kept secret for so long!  Somehow, someway they will eventually be made known.  Therefore, whatever evil you see, or do yourself, will only happen for so long before God will grab the evil-doer and bring him/her face to face with consequences that will leave him/her begging for forgiveness, mercy, and salvation; or leave him/her or begging for death, (the evil-doers will have to make that choice).

On the same note, secrets of goodness, kindness, mercy, selflessness, giving, hope, and LOVE will eventually be revealed in the light.  Therefore whatever goodness you do, or see yourself, will only happen for so long before God will grab him/her and pour out blessings that leave him/her thanking God for miracles that go beyond anything they've ever thought of, hoped for, or imagined. 

So, keep you secrets on the God-approved highway, and experience the victories and blessings that are showered upon your life from now to forevermore.  Praise God ... He is so good!

God knows your secrets!

"He reveals the deep and secret things; He knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with Him!" Daniel 2:22 AMP

Whatever one tries to hide from the world, will still be seen by God!  Therefore, whatever you want to do in secret, make sure it is God-approved.  If it isn't, then it is wrong, it is a sin, it is not going to do you any good, and when the time comes for God to reveal it, which He will, it will be at the uttermost inconvenient time for you, leaving you full of regret and shame.

Avoid shame and regret! Make sure your darkest secrets are good and God-approved.  Then take the secrets that you know aren't good, ask God to help change them, and change your heart; He'll not only help you make them right, He'll probably bless you for it!

Mountains will move

“I will go before you and will level the mountains… I will give you hidden treasures, riches stored in secret places, so that you know I am the Lord… there is no other...”  Isaiah 45:2, 3, 5

When you give your life over to God, mountains begin to move, idols are crushed, enemies are defeated before your eyes, hurts turn into amazing blessings, weaknesses become your strengths, love prevails, prosperity pours over you in all kinds of ways, and opportunities once thought impossible are made possible for you!

Live a life that pleases God and brings joy to your heart.

Live a life that pleases God and brings joy to your heart.

“Rejoice… let your heart cheer you… walk in the way of your heart and in the sight of your eyes, but… remove sorrow and vexation from your heart and mind and put away evil from your body…For God shall bring every work into judgment with every secret thing, whether it is good or evil.” Ecclesiastes 11:9-10, 12:14

Friends, live the most awesome, fun, fulfilling, compassionate, honorable, and loving life possible, and make it wholesome and pleasing to God, because, no matter who you are, you will stand before Him and have to give an account of your every work – good and/or bad – which will determine the quality of your life in the everlasting.

Ask yourself, "Am I living in a way that is pleasing to God?" -- What is your answer?
