Darkness is a mysterious thing it's like your hypothesized or something, you walk through life like it's normal or safe. Darkness is a kind of light we make make for ourselves and it keeps God out and lets other people or things in. You sleep in the darkness and don't even know your sleeping. Darkness brings empty promises because when you wake you have nothing except the memories. If you sleep too long nothing gets done.

My point is that to some degree or another, many Christians have a sin that is in the background of there lives and they know it but they don't know it. It's like a blindness and God allows this for a time and blesses you and fellowships with you, for a time. And because of this, the sin becomes something acceptable. Then season ends and God convicts you and the heavens turn to brass (well hopefully it doesn't get that bad). I read a verse in the Bible one time, It spoke something like your more blessed going through life knowing you are a sinner and doing bad than being perfect in life and then dieing and finding out you weren't all that great and going to Hell.

One thing I see people do is swear and I don't even know if they know they do it. I once got angry and said the word hell and later two people told me I said the word hell, I had no idea I said it but I must have said it. This isn't one of my weak points I am always careful in what I say especially when i'm angry. Some Christians are not careful at all.

I rebelled against God but at the time I did all kinds of good stuff was better than most Christians (that was what I thought anyway) but life was life and I knew it was wrong but pretended it wasn't there. Looking back I now see how ridiculous it was.

And the darkness the world is in is much greater and easier to see but they don't serve the same master so we just need to focus on our darkness.

As we come into His presence, we see His glory, His light, His holiness. And His purity shines in all of the hidden places, the places of darkness that are in us, and they become light in Him. What gets us into trouble is when we hide from Him, when we deny going into His presence to have His light. There are many reasons for this, but most often it is as the children of Israel said when God spoke to them from the mountain; "let not God speak to us, lest we die." We are afraid of what the light will reveal, and that in the revelation, we will cease to be who we are. And this is true, we do change, to become more like Him.

It takes love for God to seek this revelation of ourselves in Him. But if we love Him, even our death will not stay us from this truth that is in Him.

Thank you brother,
In His love,

All people of the world are in darkness until they come to Christ.

God said there is a way that seems right to a person but it will lead to death.

All people think they are alright in the world,and will adopt a life position that they think is true until they come out of that darkness.

God said when a sin comes to your mind then repent of it.

A Christian should realize any sin in their life and dispose of it.The Spirit will convict us of any sin.

If you do not realize it is a sin,like a swear word that comes out that you do not pay attention to it,if it did not record in your mind you said it,how do you repent of it.
If it comes to your mind repent of it.

The Bible says that there are some things that we do not know what to pray for,so the Spirit prays through us to get all those things prayed for,and get anything that we are not aware of out of us.

The Spirit will pray through us and get any darkness out of us that we are not aware of,because sometimes we do not know what to pray for.

Be led by the Spirit and there will be no hidden sins,for the Spirit will get all darkness out of us,and how can you do a sin and not be aware of it.
Our mind should always be on doing what is right.
