“For nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest,
nor is anything secret that will not be known and come to light.” (Luke 8:17 ESV)
Recently, I stood in someone’s kitchen, washing a wine glass which needed washing, when my thoughts drifted to another time this past year. It was the same scenario: washing a wine glass at someone’s house. My memory recalled how that past incident played out, how that wine glass slipped from my hand and broke. Suddenly, I was jolted back into the present, and the delicate glass in my hand tapped the countertop around the sink, and it too broke! What a strange moment. The first thing that came to mind (other than horror) was how my thought of breaking a wine glass in the past, had just manifested itself into the present. This was not a comfortable moment, to say the least. In a sense, the breaking glass was an awakening because I know something “hidden” about both places.
This seemed a pivotal moment in my spirit, reminding me to both take every thought captive and recognize what my spirit was holding captive – a “secret”, though not my own – God would bring to light, somehow.
In this case, I pray what I’ve been shown, in both the spirit and the natural, is brought into the light, in order to free people who are being oppressed! I pray to God to be removed from both the situation (correctly) and the responsibility of bearing witness, as the situation weighs heavily upon me – physically, spiritually and emotionally. Not for lack of doing anything about it; no, because I am, and it buries me most days to the point of incapacitation. Rather, to be removed means I am free to move on doing God’s will, whatever that may be.
“Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.” (2 Corinthians 10:5-6 KJV)
I will join you in that prayer. It sound like you are under the heavy weight of secrecy and that can be suffocating to your spirit. Praying all is revealed and your burdens are lifted.
Hello Christine, thank you for your prayers and for commenting. It is a spirit of oppression and the secret isn’t mine but yes, “seeing” into the situation has been weighing on my spirit. In God’s timing all will rectify itself. Blessings! Stacey
My pastor once preached about this. He said when he was a struggling young man, once he was walking on the road and something said, “What if your shoe breaks now?” He didn’t bind the thought and his only shoe broke. That was hard! He then learnt to apply the scripture you quoted. Thank you for this reminder. Thoughts are often a prelude to reality and we need to channel them right by praying for the manifestation of the good and cancellation of the evil. And above all, we should constantly renew our minds with God’s word so that they do not become breeding grounds for demonic imagination. Thank you once again and God’s grace with your ministry in Jesus’ name.
Thank you for sharing Sister Edith! I appreciate your reading and commenting, it’s always a blessing to my heart. God be with you!
