One of the enemy's cruelest and most devious works is to keep us divided. That is to look free on the outside while secretly protecting the very chains Christ came to break in the inside.
Lust. Bitterness. Pride. Deceit. Addiction. Impurity. Hidden compromiseโฆand many others.
Whatever form it takes โ sin cannot remain hidden forever. The Scripture warns us, โIf we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie.โ (1 John 1:6).
Nevertheless, God does not expose what is hidden to shame us. He brings it into the light so that it can be confessed, forsaken, and overcome by His grace.
Remember this: you do not fight sin to earn freedom. You fight it based on the reality of the freedom Christ has already purchased. โOur old man was crucified with Himโ (Romans 6:6), and โsin shall not be master over youโ (Romans 6:14).
So today, examine your heart.
What are you still protecting that God is asking you to surrender?
What temptation are you feeding while praying for freedom from it?
What secret habit have you learned to call โjust part of meโ even though God calls you to holiness?
Sometimes walking in freedom means confessing what you have hidden, asking someone for help, fleeing what tempts you, cutting off what keeps feeding the sin, and returning again to surrender through prayer and submission to the enabling power of the Word.
Do not accept secret bo***ge as though it is just a normal part of your Christian life.
Do not make peace with what Christ died to destroy.
And when you stumble, do not run deeper into hiding. Come back into the light.
The blood of Jesus cleanses.
The Spirit gives strength.
Perhaps we can apply James 5:12 to this extent? โbut your yes is to be yes, and your no, no...โ
Because the true Grace of God and along with true understanding of it teaches us to say no to ungodliness and yes to holiness.

May we never become so comfortable in the darkness that we forget how beautiful it is to walk in the light.
God bless, mga kabugtuan ko kan Kristo.
