Ok, I understand your issue. The bits you have are:

- the encrypted file (I assume it's file.gpg)

- the secret key (file_sec.asc)

- the public key (file.asc)

- the password to use the secret key.

What you must do:

1. import the keys into your key ring ("gpg --import file_sec.asc" on 
the command line)

2. decrypt the file using the passphrase ("gpg file.gpg" on the command 
line)
