 Revelation of the Hidden

March 26, 2025

Psalms 19:12

12 Whocan discern his errors? Acquit me of hidden faults.

Matthew 10:26-27

26 “Thereforedo not fear them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. 27 What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim upon the housetops.

Revelation is essential to Salvation.

The Occult must be Hidden for Evil to succeed.

First, some definitions:

Occult means hidden, invisible, secret or unknown. Keeping in the darkness.

Revelation is the act of disclosing, making known, bring into the light.

With these definitions in mind, what do I mean by the opening statements? Yesterday we were talking about the refiners fire, and today’s topic is similar. Just as the refiners fire reveals the dross, so that the refiner can skim it off, just so revelation from God exposes our sin so that it can be forgiven. The first job of the evangelist is to teach people that “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” No sinner wants to believe that. They think that they are just normal people with normal foibles. It takes a revelation by God for them to acknowledge that they are indeed sinners and in need of salvation. That is the sense of Psalm 19:2 in that it is near impossible for anyone to discern his own errors but by the grace of God, they can be revealed and forgiven. Thus I say that revelation must precede salvation. The enemy traps us in sin by concealing its true nature from us. Thus the occult, or hidden, leads to evil. But when light shines into the darkness and reveals the evil concealed Therein, then salvation, forgiveness and redemption can enter in. 

This also applies the society as a whole. Occult powers seek to enslave mankind in darkness. It is the gospel of Jesus that reveals all that is hidden and brings people out of darkness into the light. Just as the silver being refines first turns ugly as the dross rises to the surface in the increasing heat, thus it is when truth and light comes into a society. We see the evil and darkness that had been hidden (occult). It is ugly, but it can only be purged from society when it is revealed. As long as it is occult (hidden), it has power to influence society because people don’t realize the dangers around them and are ensnared by the occult master’s evil plans. It is only when revelation comes that the light can drive out this darkness and society can be healed. We see this process going on around us in this age as the greed, corruption, child trafficking and human slavery is revealed for the evil that it is. Pray that the forces of the light will persevere and drive out the forces of darkness.

But first, seek the Lord for your own revelation. Jesus teaches that judgement begins in the house of the Lord, so examine your own heart and ask for forgiveness and healing for any darkness you find there. Then you will be able to speak light to your neighbor and help him come to the Lord also. Each of us has our own part in salvation and revival. So pray, repent and seek for righteousness to increase in your own heart and in those around you. Then revival can come to you and to your nation.
