The Secret Place with God

swordandspiritwriter

For in the time of trouble
He shall hide me in His pavilion;
In the secret place of His tabernacle
He shall hide me;
He shall set me high upon a rock.

~ Psalm 27:5

We may see trouble all around. But God! When we trust in the Lord and His Word, He SHALL hide us in His secret place.

Oh, how great is Your goodness,
Which You have laid up for those who fear You,
Which You have prepared for those who trust in You
In the presence of the sons of men!
You shall hide them in the secret place of Your presence
From the plots of man;
You shall keep them secretly in a pavilion
From the strife of tongues.

~ Psalm 31:19-20

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in Him I will trust.”

~ Psalm 91:1-2

The Word teaches us how we may dwell in His secret place: by trusting in Him completely. By living from faith to faith in His Word and magnifying Him and His Word alone as our secret place, refuge, fortress, and hiding place.

We must NEVER empower and magnify the works of the devil around us as we see so many believers doing today who use their mouths to prophecy his destructions more than God’s Might and Power, more than the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God.

What does God say about what many of His children do in ignorance?

A man’s stomach shall be satisfied from the fruit of his mouth [his words];
From the produce of his lips [words] he shall be filled.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue [words],
And those who love it will eat its fruit.

~ Proverbs 18:20-21

and

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.

~ Hosea 4:6

We’ve been warned by our good Father regarding the importance of our words. Therefore, we must speak the life and power of His Word in every circumstance and magnify His greatness and power, His goodness, mercy, and love, including trusting in His power and ability to hide us in His secret place in times of trouble.

And because His Word is a weapon against the powers of darkness (Eph. 6), when we speak it instead of empowering the devil’s evils with our mouths, we wield the Word against to works of the devil to destroy them.

We can magnify Him as our hiding place and shield too!

You are my hiding place; You shall preserve me from trouble; You shall surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah ~ Psalm 32:7

You are my hiding place and my shield; I hope in Your Word. ~ Psalm 119:114

Father, thank You that Your Word is ONLY true and is where we can place all our faith, hope and trust. We can possess Your promises by our faith and trust in You. Hallelujah!

Live from Faith to Faith as we are Called! Robber of the Cruel Streets: The Story of George Müller

swordandspiritwriter

For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith, (Romans 1:17).

We are living in times where sin is rampant and with the wicked breathing out violence, threatening a great many with loss of income if they don’t take the abominable jab. The Lord does not want us to fret nor fear. No matter what times or seasons we are living in, His promises are STILL “yes and amen”.

“For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us,” (2 Corinthians 1:20).

God is calling His children to live from faith to faith, to take Him for His Word that we can be kept in perfect peace and not fear the threats of the enemy. Not only not fear them but overcome them by faith.

His Word says HE WILL supply all our needs according to His riches and glory! He said it, therefore it is settled. We can have bold, expectant faith, enter His rest, and trust all will be well.

Here’s a quote from the above documentary…

“For George Muller, prayer and the study of God’s Word was the key to understanding God’s will. Once he knew that, it was just a question of trusting Him to do it in His own way and in His own time. Muller believed with all his heart that God answers the prayers of His people. Not as a reward for being good or sincere but because they believe in His Son, Jesus Christ.”

100% truth! Praise You, Lord and Good Father that we receive from You by what Jesus already did for us not by our “do” or “don’t do” – by grace alone through faith. Hallelujah!

This is key indeed!

To know His Word is to know His will, to know His will is to pray bold prayers of faith expecting to have what we have asked of Him in prayer, NOT because we are good, but because we believe in Jesus Christ, His Son! By faith because of His grace. Thank You, Jesus!

“Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him,” (1 John 5:14-15).

God cannot lie! Gone must be the days of secondhand faith. We can’t trust any man (pastor, etc.) to rightly divide the Word for us in these evil times. NO! We must know the Word for ourselves, therefore know His will, so we can pray and receive not only His promises but to also use our authority to destroy the works of the devil in people’s lives – heal the sick, cast out demons, raise the dead!

God isn’t glorified when the works of the devil aren’t destroyed. His Word is clear that when we have victory over the enemy, that’s when He is glorified. (Isaiah 61).
