On SECRET sins

Proverbs 21:2

King James Version

2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: 

but the Lord pondereth the hearts.


We may know our basic sins.

And may have repented of it.

But what of sins "unknown"?

What secret sins have we not known?

What secret sins do we refuse to acknowledge?

What secret sins have we not asked forgiveness for?

That's why we write about it, as we go along.

We've published these articles, and blogs:

What are ABOMINATIONS to GOD?

Tough but NECESSARY

AREAS of vulnerability

SINS of the FLESH

Sin AWARENESS

The HOLY SPIRIT's REPROOF

Satan is a sly, and devious, creature.

He will urge you to sin, without your knowing.

But SPIRIT and Scripture expose all our sins.

Through the LIGHT of JESUS CHRIST.

JESUS is the example of how to live a sinless life.

A life of PERFECT obedience to GOD.

He is the WAY back to GOD.

John 14:6

King James Version

6 Jesus saith unto him, 

I am the way, the truth, and the life: 

no man cometh unto the Father, 

but by me.


He asks we be perfect.

Matthew 5:48

King James Version

48 Be ye therefore perfect, 

even as your Father which is in heaven 

is perfect.


He also gave us GREAT help in this battle against sin:

John 16:7-9

King James Version

7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; 

It is expedient for you that I go away: 

for if I go not away, 

the Comforter will not come unto you; 

but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

8 And when he is come, 

he will reprove the world of sin, 

and of righteousness, 

and of judgment:

9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;

10 Of righteousness, 

because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;

11 Of judgment, 

because the prince of this world is judged.


John 16:13-15 

King James Version

13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, 

he will guide you into all truth: 

for he shall not speak of himself; 

but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: 

and he will shew you things to come.


John 16:14-15 

King James Version

14 He shall glorify me: 

for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

15 All things that the Father hath are mine: 

therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, 

and shall shew it unto you.


When JESUS went back to heaven, He did not leave us orphaned.

Now, we have the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD to teach us.

To remind us.

To warn us.

To guide us.

To expose our secret sins.

To shine a light upon the dark recesses of our soul.

We need to know how we sin against GOD.

We need to know what displeases Him.

We need to know how we fall from grace.

We need to know how we are being constantly corrupted.

We need to know how to protect ourselves from further sin.


As with everything that JESUS makes pure, Satan tries to defile it.

That's why there are many Christians who keep sinning.

Not realizing the traps set before them.

With unbelievers, they think their way is right.

And it is only through SPIRIT that they can be converted.


That's why our prayers need to be these:

Psalm 19:12-14

King James Version

12 Who can understand his errors? 

cleanse thou me from secret faults.

13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; 

let them not have dominion over me: 

then shall I be upright, 

and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.

14 Let the words of my mouth, 

and the meditation of my heart, 

be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, 

my strength, and my redeemer.


Psalm 51:10-13

King James Version

10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; 

and renew a right spirit within me.

11 Cast me not away from thy presence; 

and take not thy holy spirit from me.

12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; 

and uphold me with thy free spirit.

13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; 

and sinners shall be converted unto thee.


Psalm 139:23-24

King James Version

23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: 

try me, and know my thoughts:

24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, 

and lead me in the way everlasting.


Matthew 6:13

King James Version

13 And lead us not into temptation, 

but deliver us from evil: 

For thine is the kingdom, 

and the power, 

and the glory, 

for ever. 

Amen.


This is my commitment, as born again servant to CHRIST..

To expose all these traps set by Satan.

For both believers, and unbelievers.

We need to cover ALL ground.

Through guidance from SPIRIT, and Scripture.

Another post will tell us why there's no hiding from our secret sins.

All are exposed before GOD's eyes.


P.S.

I've noticed something striking.

Every time I expose Satan, he keeps "muddling" my thoughts.

But GOD reels everything in.

And we get to write perfectly.

Because I want to.

For GOD.

And for you.

TWISTED beyond measure

 Romans 3:4

King James Version

4 God forbid: 

yea, let God be true, 

but every man a liar; 

as it is written, That thou 

mightest be justified in thy sayings, 

and mightest overcome 

when thou art judged.


Today is the first day, SPIRIT actually made me look into "crime".

A set of crimes so incredible, so twisted, and so destructive.

I say a "set of crimes" for it was not just murder.

It was a family that committed "crimes" against each other.

With far-reaching consequences, which I hope they can recover from.

SPIRIT led me to this 25-minute video.

There were so many layers of evil, I gasped in unbelief.

I simply had to write about it.


You've heard of stepfathers getting involved with their stepdaughters.

And vice-versa.

All a TOTAL abomination against GOD.

Leviticus 18:17

King James Version

17 Thou shalt not uncover 

the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, 

neither shalt thou take her son's daughter, 

or her daughter's daughter, 

to uncover her nakedness; 

for they are her near kinswomen:

 it is wickedness.


But have you heard of a stepfather getting involved with his stepson?

And having a gay relationship?

With the mother encouraging her son, after she came to know about it?

With the father having other gay relationships, through his line of work?

And yet, they painted a "perfect family" picture for the world to see.

She, with her ambitions as principal in school.

He, with his real estate success.

The son, pursuing a degree.


Eventually, from all the stresses of pretense, and betrayal, a crime was committed.

Tthe son was confused about his relationship with his stepfather.

He resented the fact his stepfather betrayed him with other affairs.

In a fit of rage, the son murdered his stepfather.

Proof was presented from a tiny cam lodged in a smoke detector.

That was all the investigators needed to see.


Out came all the filth from that family.

Disturbing the peaceful little town in Colorado.

What I found most disturbing was one particular thing --

The mother encouraging her son to keep at the relationship.

That sounded contradictory.

If she was seeking higher office, why would she endanger her reputation?

Why would she encourage her son to keep at it?

What mother would do that to her son?


Now, the father was a different story.

He lusted after success, and many gay relationships.

He would mix business, and pleasure, pretty often.

All the while defiling his stepson.

And betraying his wife.

(Who, as it turned out, knew the goings-on at her home.)

James 4:1

King James Version

4 From whence come wars 

and fightings among you? 

come they not hence, 

even of your lusts 

that war in your members?


The wayward parents practically sacrificed their son to Molech.

Sure, the 21-year-old son wasn't literally sacrificed at the altar of fire.

But the parents, through their own lusts, ambition, and ignorance of GOD's law, practically handed their son to Satan.

Ensuring a life of hell for him.

And creating one for themselves.


We adults are GREATLY responsible for children.

JESUS warned us:

Matthew 18:6-7

King James Version

6 But whoso shall offend 

one of these little ones which believe in me, 

it were better for him that a millstone 

were hanged about his neck, 

and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

7 Woe unto the world because of offences! 

for it must needs be that offences come; 

but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!


Being guilty of second-degree murder, the son was sentenced to 25 years in prison, with no chance of parole.

The crime occurred in 2014.

That means, the boy has been incarcerated for 10 years already.

We all know what happens to young boys in prison.

What more to someone like him who has a gay background?

This case truly horrifies me, for the ignorance, and negligence of the parents.

They had failed greatly at their job as parents.


We also know the sins of Sodom and Gomorrah.

GOD abhors perverse practices:

Leviticus 18:22

King James Version

22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, 

as with womankind: 

it is abomination.


GOD purposely made us "male" and "female".

Genesis 1:27

King James Version

27 So God created man in his own image, 

in the image of God created he him; 

male and female created he them.


He also destroyed wicked Sodom and Gomorrah.

Genesis 19:24-25

King James Version

24 Then the Lord rained 

upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah

 brimstone and fire 

from the Lord out of heaven;

25 And he overthrew those cities, 

and all the plain, 

and all the inhabitants of the cities, 

and that which grew upon the ground.


We must not be conformed to the world, no matter the seeming-popularity of perverse practices.

Romans 12:2

King James Version

2 And be not conformed to this world: 

but be ye transformed 

by the renewing of your mind, 

that ye may prove what is that good, 

and acceptable, 

and perfect, will of God.


NEVER give in to the devil.

James 4:7

King James Version

7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. 

Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.


It is not too late for the mother, and son.

If they call upon JESUS now.

He came, for us sinners.

Luke 19:10

King James Version

10 For the Son of man is come 

to seek and to save 

that which was lost.


John 3:5-7

King James Version

5 Jesus answered, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, 

he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; 

and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, 

Ye must be born again.


John 6:37

King James Version

37 All that the Father giveth me 

shall come to me; 

and him that cometh to me 

I will in no wise cast out.


Romans 10:9

King James Version

9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth 

the Lord Jesus,

 and shalt believe in thine heart 

that God hath raised him from the dead, 

thou shalt be saved.


Romans 10:13

King James Version

13 For whosoever shall call 

upon the name of the Lord 

shall be saved.
