Fear of stepping into the Light, because the Light makes things visable. good post, my own view is we act fake as a way of Hiding the imperfections we know are there. Shame, which Jesus took for us. judegement which Jesus took for us. Pain which Jesus took for us. Ridicule, which Jesus took for us. and I believe in human nature because of Law, we know our imperfections are death without Jesus , who took death for us. Faking for the sake of others not seeing and judging who we are in truth in the depths of the secret Places. we don't want to be visible because we are flawed in so many ways. just my thought.

Yes. Years ago I got a prophetic Word. It was time for me to stop being a secret agent. Not that I was doing anything wrong, but I was hiding in the shadow. It's a bit dark there, you can hide a bit there, just like My servants of old hid. Come into the Light sister, he said.
People are way more open if the one preaching is open too. Some preacher from the cell churches once said that, that pastors also needed to be transparent and ask others to pray for them. If we walk in the Light His blood cleanses us from all sin.
Only thing I didn't dare to say though in church was that I still got angry when the kids fought. My ex is the pastor and he took the kids from me once, that's why. Then last sunday we had E.E. Allen on youtube as a guest speaker and there was a woman and he said: What can I pray for? She said: that I am a good mom, that I can raise my kids well. I said: Lord I want that too. I just opened myself to catch that anointing and it is amazing. I felt weird. Why do I not yell? Why do the kids not fight? This total peace. Wow.
Corrie ten Boom once had to preach. God said that she should be honest. They said: here we have the wonderful speaker Corrie ten Boom. She said: well I'm not that wonderful. I was in a meeting in Africa and thousands of people got saved, but all I cared about was the musquitos flying there and I wanted the service to stop and more of those things. She was just honest and not like if she was so perfect from herself.
On another forum a guy was accusing people and he didn't sin anymore, God set him free and everyone he knew didn't sin anymore. Ehm great, but if you accuse those people here, do you really think they are ever gonna open up and ask you to help them with a struggle? I asked a guy on a forum once who tought about how God set him free from a porn addiction. He was so open about it, he was the only one I asked for advice.
 
That is one of the great things about twelve step fellowships, of which there are hundreds, or programs like CR which are built on that model, because people come looking for help and are willing to go an extra mile trying to fix their lives, which of course they can't haha, but that knowledge or realization usually comes over time, as they listen to others being open and honest and transparent, all the while pointing to the steps as a place holder for the solution to their problems, which is really saying: God. As an ongoing process and place to connect with others about the realities of this life, there is little to compare. The door is always open.
