It’s not under the blood if it’s just swept under the rug. When it comes to conflict or challenging times, a mature believer must understand that its “BLESSED are the peace MAKERS,” not peacekeepers.
You don’t make peace by refusing to confront the Truth and risking Grace from being noticeably valued. But instead, when Truth can be addressed, Grace can then be poured out.
God’s not looking to keep the dirt hidden but to expel the sin by first exposing it for the disposal of it. It’s part of true Repentance and thoroughly applying the Blood of Jesus that washes away (not hides) our sins.
Matthew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
Children of God seek to get rid of sin; children of the devil keep it hidden. Unless one keeps bringing it back to the surface by their own actions and specific choices, it is clear that they are just trying to keep their sin hidden under the rug or in the closet. But unless it is killed completely, sin will grow.
Forgiveness is not immediately keeping one’s sin under the carpet to never be brought up again, for the exposing growth and its reoccurrence forces one to have to address it unless they choose to live bound by it unto their own spiritual death.
It's sort of like when someone is handed trash, and they go to empty it. But if the person who handed it to them goes and recovers the same trash and keeps handing it to the person who emptied it, it’s not a question as to whether or not the person giving the trash emptied it (forgiven) from their space (mind and heart). But they keep bringing it up every time the trash giver keeps bringing or exposing the same trash to them.
No matter how the taco folds, it’s still a taco. No matter the difference in circumstance, sin is still sin.
That trash giver could pick another person to give it to, and it would be the other person's opportunity to face to forgive. But when we give it all to Jesus, His blood doesn’t just push off the sin from us but diSINtegrates it all together!!!
Often when we allow the influence and stench of sin to remain, we can bet that demonic influence has yet to be cast out. To be kept Holy as Christ is Holy, we need to know how to KEEP HOUSE…that is, our spiritual house/temple.
The blood of Jesus delivers and destroys every spot of wickedness, and His blood still works! Now the issue is…will you let it work, or will you keep inviting demonic influence in? Choosing to keep the spiritual splint embedded because it hurts too much to take out that you learned to live with your sin?
For whatever is hidden will be revealed, and there is nothing we can do about that but give it to Jesus. We should reveal it all now to get rid of it and save us a life of heartache and destruction, allowing the BLOOD to take full course!
This is why we must pray for one another, confess our faults to those whom we trust to remind and uplift the nature of Christ within. Even from such who would call out the truth of the matter as a splinter that comes to the surface, so that the healing ❤️🩹 ointment and medicine can be applied…the Blood of Jesus!
There’s no point in applying the blood if we keep the splinters of destruction hidden within. It’s His love that draws it out and His blood that draws us in…unto His healing power!
So may we expose truth into the light, not waiting for others but being accountable for ourselves. For it should be the mercy of God that compels us, not the “IF THEY WILL DO IT TO “ attitude of others. For that attitude is not true repentance on your account.
Don’t worry about what others say or do; they have their account before the Lord just as you. You do what God expects from you and walk blameless before Him and others and make sure that your spiritual house (your life) have no rugs when it’s renovated. For in God’s house there is nothing nor any room to hide sin and shame. Like Adam hiding behind his bush of shame, God has come to take away your bush that not only would your sin be extinguished but His light would also not remain hidden.
Don’t allow unbelief to keep Christ hidden from your sight. Neither allows the blood to be cut off that your life would no longer truly live. Jesus made the sin exchange on the cross to the WHOSOEVERS that are willing to receive it, not just accept it…and there is a difference. However there is much more to be said, but if we cut ourselves off from the blood…life would not be obtainable nor cultivated both here and now as well as then.
So don’t hinder the flow But confront truth to let it go
Into the hands, of the One who died For it is in Him, We’re called to abide
1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
John 12:36 KJV [36] While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light…
Matthew 5:14-16 KJV [14] Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. [15] Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. [16] Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
