| God has secrets he wants to share! Really? Yes, secrets are waiting to be revealed! Amos 3:7 from the NKJV tells us, "God does nothing unless He first reveals His secret counsel to His servants the prophets." Some would have us believe this should read, "God does nothing" as far as the supernatural goes and especially concerning the voice of God speaking today. But while we do agree that the cannon of scripture is closed, God still speaks today and the prophetic nature of God is alive and active!  Notice, what else this one scripture points out: "God does nothing unless He first reveals His secret counsel." Secrets are for the purpose of being revealed. Secrets are to be shared!
The secret counsel of the Lord is to be shared with His intimate servant friends. With whom do you share your secrets? Do you share everything all at once or do you reveal your innermost thoughts in parts at a time? Is trust required? Do you share some now, and another piece later? Are there pauses, when it seems that you need to digest what you have just given before the next installment of the secret is shared? In fact, over time, you might even learn to "dream together" with your trusted friends. God does. Oh yes, God does. What Is the Nature of a Secret? So, what is the nature of a secret? Proverbs 25:2 gives us more insight where it states, "It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the glory of kings to search out a matter" (NASB). Kings search out a matter.

Some things God shares; some things He conceals. Interesting! "Sounds like God likes to play the game, 'Hide and Seek.' Is that what you are saying, James Goll?"
Yes, that is exactly right! The very nature of "Secrets with God" is all about the very "Nature of God" Himself. There are these mysterious prophetic ways of God where He holds something, He reveals something, and He shares something. These ways of God sometimes say more about your relational dynamic with the God of Secrets than about the information itself. Secrets are to be shared! God has secrets He wants to share with you! Are you His servant? Are His friend? Are you prophetically leaning your ear His way: listening, waiting, and watching daily at His doorposts? How Do You Handle God's Secrets? We each have different grace allotments and we each have different, distinct callings. When handling prophetic revelation, I first pray it back to God. I ask permission if I am to share it. After I journal about it in some format, then I ask 10 basic questions... |
