There are no secrets for those who live with Christ!

Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?” Genesis 3:8-9

The word from God today is clandestine which is defined as “kept secret or done secretly”.

It is impossible to keep secrets from God or hide things from Him. God is omniscient and sees everything. He knows every detail of your past, present, and future.

You cannot practice clandestine living and expect the favor of God.

God exposed the sin of Adam and Eve. They were unable to hide this from the Lord God.

You and I were born to live for self. We want to satisfy our fleshly indulgences whether for sex, food or alcohol, drugs, immoral activities, money, or success.

This desire to live for self can only be harnessed by submitting to the Holy Spirit who dwells within you. This is why God teaches “He who is within you is greater than he who is in the world”.

You will succumb to the temptations of the world without the power and restraint of the Spirit of Christ.

The reality of humanity is you and I are weak and unable to live a life pleasing to God. So we choose to act in clandestine ways.

God is like an X-ray machine. He not only sees everything; He examines your motives. You can’t get away with anything dealing with God.

God exposes your inner nature for the purpose of showing the contrast between who He is and who you are.

The epiphany of Christ is seeing yourself through the eyes of God and then seeing the greatness and glory of God. This creates a decisive action to meet the Living Christ.

You realize all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God and your only hope for life is in Christ. You have reached your “born again” moment.

You are now on a journey of becoming a new creature in Christ Jesus and old things begin to fade away and all things become new. Clandestine living habits are crucified and slowly disappear.

You live in oneness with Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit. For in Him, we live and move and have our being.
