Hello, and welcome back to Praying for Them, Your God Fearing Spouse. Today we will continue on the breakdown of chapter three of Surrendering Your Secret Places. Amen. And you all know something. I feel like I'm dragging. Yeah, please forgive me. I'm I'm trying to get this podcast thing together. But I think I'm going to read this Monday through Friday because it gives us more insight and we won't have to drag out and wait so long for the next episode. So, yes, so I'm going to do a podcast every day, Monday through Friday, not on weekends, because I have so many episodes from this chapter three. I really want to get through them so we can get to chapter four, amen. So I hope you all stick in there with me. Like I said, I'm growing in this. I'm praying God's blessings over this. And I hope you all stick with me as I figure this thing out, amen. So I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I hope you all are um learning and really diving into the book if you have it. Um, I want to welcome you back to this space. As always, take a moment to breathe and allow yourself to be present before the Lord. And I invite God into this space, amen. Because today we're going to go deeper and I want us to get into it, but let's pray before we start, amen. God, in the name of Jesus, we come before you honestly, no mask, no handing. Search our hearts, oh God. Reveal everything in us that is not like you, oh God. Give us the courage to face what we've been avoiding and the strength to surrender, amen. And God, we lift up our future spouse and our current spouses to you. Prepare them in their private places just as you are preparing us, oh God. Help us to be born, help us to be united, help us to be entwined with your word and with your presence, oh God. We pray. Amen. Today's conversation is not surface level. This is about the places nobody sees, the hidden parts of you, the private struggles, the quiet battles, the things you've learned to keep tucked away. And I want to start with this truth. What you hide, God wants to heal. I'm gonna say this again. What you are hiding, God wants to heal. He wants to bring up everything that's buried within you so you can fully heal from your past, from your mistakes, from your bad habits, or whatever the case may be. God wants to heal you. The scripture says, give up your sins, even the ones done in secret. And if you're honest, those are the hardest ones to release, amen. Because no one else sees them, no one is calling them out, no one knows. So it becomes easy to manage them instead of surrendering them, amen. But here's what happens: what you had doesn't disappear, it grows, it weighs on you, it affects your thoughts, it influences your decisions, it creates distance between you and God, not because God moved, but because he stopped being fully open. God cannot, God cannot heal what you refuse to bring to him. We have to confess, we have to be open to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. And this isn't about shame, this is about being free. I want you to be free, have your freedom to live your life without hidden secrets, amen. Take your concerns, take your baggage unto the Lord. Because when you finally say, God, this is what I've been dealing with, that's when healing takes place. Transparency, transparency with God leads to transformation. You don't have to clean yourself up first, you don't have to fix it before bringing it to Him. You just have to be honest, completely honest. Amen. Some of you listening right now, you've been carrying something for a long time: a habit, a thought pattern, a struggle, a secret. And you've been asking God to move in your life, but holding on to the very thing that's blocking the flow. Today is your moment not to feel condemned, but to be set free. Because God already knows He's just waiting on you to release it. And when you do, you won't feel heavy anymore, you won't feel stuck anymore, you won't feel alone anymore, you won't feel like you're pretending to be somebody. You will feel free, whole, and aligned. Amen. Surrender isn't just about what people can see, it's about what God knows. God knows our hearts, He knows our thoughts, He knows our inner being. So we have to learn how to surrender and let go. Only God can make us whole, only God can make us better, only God can heal those secret places in our life. Amen. It is time to surrender and let God heal you from the inside out. You don't want to carry baggage in your marriage, you don't want to continue to carry baggage in your in your marriage, amen. You truly want to surrender the things within you that will put a barrier up between you and your spouse. It's time to surrender so God can remove that sallow that you've been trying to live in, so he can release you because you are not your past, you are your future. You are not defined by what happened to you in your past. You are defined by what God has said. And he said, You are fearfully and wonderfully made, that he has made you in his image. So you are beautiful, you are powerful, you are anointed, you are a child of God. So let go of your past mistakes, your past bad habits, your past negative thoughts and energy. Let go and let God have his way. Amen. Surrender your secret places unto the Lord today. Let us go to the Lord in prayer. Honey Father, we come to you as honest as we know how, asking you to reveal every hidden thing, every secret struggle that's within us, Honey Father. Help us to let before you right now. Help us to release so we can breathe. Help us to release so we can let go. Help us to release so we can move forward, Heavenly Father. We are no longer holding on to what you've been asking us to release. Henry Father, cleanse us, heal us, and deliver us, oh God, in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. I pray, remove the desire for everything that separates us from you, oh God. And God, our provider, our protector, prepare our future spouse and our current spouses in their private places, oh God. When they come to you in prayer, Heavenly Father, touch their prayers. When they come to you in prayer, touch their minds. When they come to you in prayer, touch their heart, minds, souls, and spirit, oh God. Let them know that you are with them and you're cleansing them and you're preparing them to be free from their past mistakes. Let them also be surrendering and healing and growing in your grace and mercy each and every day. Help them to be like David, a man out of God's own heart, oh God, we pray. And a woman out of God's own heart. Make us all whole, Heavenly Father. In you, Heavenly Father. Make us whole together. A strand of three is not easily broken, Henry Father. And I pray that we'll be entwined in spirit, entwined in your word, entwined in prayer, Heavenly Father. We pray that we let go so we may grow in your grace, your mercy, your favor, and your love. Amen. Thank you all for tuning in on this Monday. Tune back in tomorrow where we're going to talk about the corner prayer. Yes, the prayer where I was praying in corners left and right, the living room corners, the bedroom corners, every corner and it has done been touched in my old house, that is. So come back because we're truly going to talk about the corner that we need to go pray in and the breaking point. Thank you for tuning in to praying for them, your God friend spouse. Have a blessed day and speak to you all tomorrow.
