He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High
|
There's no fun about living in a home without power. Recently the northeast of America has been hit with a early October snow storm. It has put a million plus people without any power. In freezing weather, people have to find other methods to stay warm.
What do people do who lack power with God? There is nothing worst than a person living without God's power and presence permeating in their everyday life. People wonder why they are living empty, miserable, and void in the depths of their joy tank. Psalms 91 says; there is a secret place with God that will cause everything in your life to turn around.
I have learned without spending time alone in his presence, or in that secret place alone with God, that I will suffer the consequences of no power in my life.
Without waiting in His presence, you will experience a lack of confidence with God in your journey, the battles; the struggles of life will overwhelm you.
If you fail to spend time in the secret place; you will lack sleep through the night. God says; He gives his beloved rest. You'll lack purpose for your destiny. Do you really want to go through life and miss the mark He has chosen for you?
- Without the secret place you will lack patience to wait for the promises of God. Do you really want to miss your Isaac and settle for an Ishmael? Isaiah 40:30 declares;"even the youth shall faint and be weary and shall utterly fall, but they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount upon wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.
See I can't help but faint in my vision without waiting in the secret place with God. I'm not superman. Jesus instructs us in Matthew 26:41, "Watch and pray that ye enter not into temptation, the spirit indeed is willing but the flesh is weak."
I don't care if you are a preacher, a board member, you might sing in the choir, you had better find the secret place so you don't faint in the call of God on your life.
You will lack peace in your storms, you will lack passion to do the will of God, without the secret place you will lack power to persevere in the hard times.
Jesus never had any lack of power because He realize the impact of the secret place with His father. The Holy Spirit came upon him like a dove at his baptism, but He kept the power on His life by daily finding the secret place. It was in the secret place that kept the oil, the anointing, the power flowing through his life.
Friend there is a secret place where you shut yourself in with God. Only then can you declare like David; I will say of the Lord, he is my refuge my fortress, my God, in Him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers and under his wing shall thou trust.
You can listen to somebody talk for 2 minutes and tell if they have been in the secret place with God.
What is coming out of your mouth? What you feed on grows, and what you starve dies. When you spend time in his presence, he will deposit into you a new language, a new attitude, a new prospective, a new confidence, a new rest in your spirit, a fresh peace to get though the storms, a new power to energize you to heights that you have never walked in before.
Go on today and shut yourself in the secret place with God, and life will never be the same, a new touch of God will refresh you , and yes your smile, your demeanor , the spring in your step will take you where you need to go in life.
