The Secret Place

The River Church

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. – Psalm 91:1 

What a promise! What a faith statement! What a song!  You might be asking, “Where is the secret place?  How do I get there?” 

The secret place is a place of rest in the Lord, a place of intimacy with Him, a place of abiding in His presence that is available to each of us.  It may be a rock along a river or a place in your home specially set aside for prayer. Whatever the location, it is a place where you totally focus on the Lord and let Him transform you.
 
Out of the secret place flows ministry.  Jesus moved in the Spirit after coming out of alone-time with His Father.  As you spend time with the Lord, out of intimacy you will do what Jesus did – and even greater things.  Jesus said, “He who believes on me, the works that I do he shall do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go to my Father” (John 14:12).  The anointing for miracles flows out of being in that secret place of intimacy with God. 

Fellowshipping with the Lord must be our number one priority.  He must be our all-in-all.  We become like Him as we abide in Him, so that even the people in the world around us will notice the love and power of God flowing through us, and will be attracted to Jesus. Acts 4:13 says, “… and they realized that they had been with Jesus.”
 
Who will you abide in? Who will you spend time with?  What are you building – and who are you building for?  Do not just build for yourself, but build for God’s kingdom.  His kingdom come, and His will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Do you want to minister like Jesus?  Then get into the secret place, into His Presence.  See what God is doing, and then go out and do it in His strength. 

When the Church gathers together, may we be full of testimonies of what God is doing.  The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy and it will break every yoke of bondage.
