Everything Hidden Is Being Revealed
Submitted by Clay Sikes

For spiritual and physical reasons, Tracy and I, led of the Lord, decided our childbearing years to be behind us. As such, I recently had a vasectomy, a surgical procedure that prevents pregnancy. As I sat in the medical clinic awaiting the Doctor, a young nurse arrived and told me to disrobe from the waist down and climb up on a nearby table and wrap myself with a paper like covering. When she left the room I quickly undressed and got under the makeshift covering. When she returned she busily prepared the Doctor's tray with all the instruments necessary for the procedure. When she had finished and left the room again, I remember thinking how glad I was in having some privacy. To my surprise she returned again shortly and directed me to put my feet in the stirrups at the end of the table. As I began to lift my feet toward the stirrups I stopped in mid air in fear that she (the nurse) might see my private parts. Again, she ordered me to put my feet in the stirrups, and again I was reluctant for fear of exposing myself. I had never imagined that anyone but the Doctor would be in the room, and even that was a bit disarming, but never did I anticipate that anyone else would be present. Retrospectively, I do not know why I thought this when nurses have been present in every hospital procedure I have ever been involved with. As with the inner private parts of myself (my heart), I simply never imagined having to be exposed.

Now, for the third time she directed my feet to the stirrups and since I figured she could not see me from where she was standing, I now felt safe to raise my feet as directed. As soon as I did, to my shock she approached the table and lifted the makeshift sheet and began to apply disinfectant to the surgical area, my most private of parts. Now I was totally exposed! Soon the Doctor entered the room, as did another nurse. Now I am out there for the world to see! I thought, "how humiliating can this get?" As I prayed, I felt God's peace descend and the nervousness leave. What an odd time to sense something prophetic, yet I heard His gentle voice say, "Everything that has been hidden is now being revealed. Just as your physical parts are being exposed, so too are the inner most parts of your being; those places that you deem the most private, those that you deem to never expose. If you will willingly expose these private parts (within you), they too will become infertile and unable to birth what is not of me."

Soon the procedure was over and I was home for a restful weekend. As I shared this experience in Church today, almost spontaneously, others began to reveal their inner most parts; elements of their makeup that their peers could not see. A purging took place in all who were there, and individually and corporately, we came away refreshed and cleansed. We denied the power that had worked against us to work against us any longer, because we exposed what previously had been hidden - what a powerful experience! What a revelation!

For the last several weeks God has repeatedly said to me "Everything hidden is being revealed." He has shown me things about myself that needed to be exposed and confessed to others, as well as things that I didn't even realize were there - they too needed to be confessed. As He revealed a deeper understanding of the "rest" of God, He showed me that which remains "hidden" in us robs us of the rest, which robs us of any form of restoration (Isaiah 30:15).

We have entered a season in which everything hidden is being revealed; a season in which God the Father is saying (to us) to open up the private parts of our hearts and expose them so that we may be cleansed and purged of all unrighteousness. Our willingness to expose these private parts (of ourselves) will purge us of the very things that hinder and hold us from our true calling and destiny. As Arthur Burt has said on many occasions, "We must own the truth about ourselves to disown it." God is telling us to reveal what is in us - the unclean, the unsightly, so He will not have to. It is far better that we do this on our terms rather than His, and if we are willing, He will see to it that a proper venue avails itself for just an occasion.

God has brought us to a place of purging and cleansing our hearts. For years we have hidden behind the moniker of Christian; and for years we have played the part; doing and saying all the right things (on the outside), while we struggled with major heart issues (on the inside). For those who will embrace this truth, deliverance is at hand. For those who continue to hide these heart issues, a major wakeup call is forthcoming! God is getting His people ready, and a major part of our readiness is getting the inside right. This word is especially true for pastors and church leaders who have remained in hiding for years.

We are called in this hour to openly expose the inside, in all of its rottenness, in order to be set free. Most of us have spent our entire Christian lives covering up the inside, the real us; yet now we are hearkened by the Spirit of God to openly reveal what is in us - selfishness, lust, greed, fear, vanity, jealousy, pride, etc.,

If you are a 'called' man or woman of God, I ask you to judge the prophetic timing and truth that "What has been hidden is about to be revealed." The necessity in revealing the truth of these hidden things is to render them POWERLESS and INEFFECTIVE in your life. As long as they are hidden, they are able to impregnate you with (their) poison and cause you to miss God's best and your destiny. Only pride and stubbornness will stop this revelation from producing the greatest liberty ever known to man. Layers of pride protect the most private parts of our being, yet these are the very parts that the Holy Spirit desires to expose by His Spirit. It will take courage and humility to take this next step, but FOR THOSE THAT WILL; you will be guided from the natural into the supernatural, and from the mundane to a life of destiny. For those who will not, "Pride comes before a fall."

As I am now infertile due to my exposure (vasectomy), so too will the hidden issues in your heart (be rendered powerless) when you humbly and courageously expose them.
