Secret Treasures
In May, the Holy Spirit started dealing with me on how I subconsciously avoided certain things I
didn’t want to address. I got away with it for years; but as I continued to press deeper and higher in
my walk with Him, I had to face myself. A subtle way this manifested I didn’t realize was I avoided
Scriptures that were contrary to what I’d experienced in my lifetime. One passage of Scripture I had
difficulty with was Deuteronomy 28: 1- 14, specifically verse 13 because of much of what I’ve
overcome in my family. My closest friends and our leaders know more details; I will not share that
here. It has taken me many years to learn how to be an overcomer instead of being a victim---
especially since the relationships within my family continues to be dysfunctional. My daughter is the
only one in my family who treats me with decency and respect. I am truly blessed to have her!
As I took the steps of obedience that the Holy Spirit required me to take and did a Bible study on
Deuteronomy 28: 1-14, which I completed on Tuesday, July 29, 2014; I was extremely blessed. I also
spent Wednesday, July 30, 2014 and Thursday, July 31, 2014 personalizing spiritual declarations
from this study as the Holy Spirit provided them. Two verses, in particular have stayed with me. In
verse 5 of Deuteronomy 28, the Lord speaks about blessing our “bread” and our “store”. That deals
with us receiving fresh revelation of Jesus Christ who is “The Bread of Life”; and with our being
transformed into His image as we continually cast our gaze upon Him. That was powerful! The other
one was further down in the chapter. It spoke to how He will open up His secret treasures for us who
have committed our finances to Him. The word used in the King James Version for that verse was
“storehouse”. When I looked it up in the Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance, that’s what it related to.
The secret treasures are a deeper, more intimate walk with the Lord, along with the power to be
transformed into His image as we meet with Him in secret places; finances and other provisions are
often included.
I needed that revelation. The Social Security Office sent me a letter telling me that my Social
Security Supplemental Income case is up for review. According to the letter, I must contact them by
August 11, 2014 and turn in my paperwork. If after reviewing my paperwork, they determine I’m no
longer disabled according to their “rules”; I could lose my S.S.I., insurance, doctors, etc. I’ve had
trouble finding work up until now; but God’s in control. On Thursday, July 31, 2014; the Holy Spirit
gave me Isaiah 35 to support His revelation to me.
