“font-family: Verdana;”>When I first discovered the power of secrecy, the job appeared to be exclusively for a psychologist or psychiatrist. However, upon closer examination of secrets, I realized that much of the destructive behavior stemmed from spiritual warfare. I was not fighting “flesh and blood” but spirits (Ephesians 6:12). These spirits were driven by invisible demons and generational curses that no psychiatry or psychology could ever solve. Many people do not know that secrets carry spirits.
“font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: Verdana; mso-fareast-font-family:”>All secrets are not bad. Some secrets can empower you while other secrets can stagnate you. Secrets are very powerful. Most psychiatrists, psychologists, and pastors would agree that “you are as sick as your secrets.” People who harbor nasty little secrets tend to get infected by those secrets. As genetics and chromosomes are responsible for physical development, so are our secrets responsible for daily behavior.
“font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: Verdana; mso-fareast-font-family:”>Our secret experiences shape our personalities. Secrecy is the psychological fabric, or DNA, of personality development. If you want to understand human behavior, then you must understand secret experiences and how secrets affect and mold lives. They shape the personalities of children and adults. Secrets are like houses where spirits and emotions live. Demons are always looking for ugly secrets to make new homes.
“font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: Verdana; mso-fareast-font-family:”>We are a society mesmerized by secrecy. The word secret has become one of the most powerful words of the 21st century. Over the last three decades, the media industry has made billions of dollars exposing ugly, dark secrets. The old and new TV talk-show hosts built their financial empires through the nationwide exposure of secrets. Now, “Reality TV” attempts to expose more secrets.
“font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: Verdana; mso-fareast-font-family:”>Secrets are powerful because they confine you to an exclusive or chosen group of individuals.
