The Secret Place

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! I believe that this Psalm is a prophesy as yet unfulfilled. It speaks of a future day of indescribable horrors that have come upon all mankind and that day is just about here and will test and prove what is in every person on the face of the earth. There are today many Christians that do not possess what they profess. I call them Cino-Christians (pronounced see-no) or Christians in name only. It is not that they really want to be that way but they have taken the path of least resistance and this is the broad path and is leading them in the wrong direction, literally away from God instead of closer to Him. Their faith is weak or non existant and they are powerless in nearly every respect. Pastors may not like to hear this but if they would be honest about it they would have to admit the truth of the statement because that is primarily why they are so busy trying to deal with all the problems people have. Their office is booked up with appointments of people who are coming for council, wanting answers for their problems and what is more they will try tro resolve them for them when in many cases these problems are from God Who is trying to get their attention but rarely will they be told that they are just spiritually dry and need to seek God for their answers.

Why does the scripture quoted above speak of "the secret place"? Because it is literally a secret and will remain so. Anyone who has found the secret place cannot reveal it's location for it is a unique place that is between you and God alone. Rather than being a physical place it is a state of being that is developed through diligently seeking God and asking in faith to take you there. Every person on the face of the earth is unique as DNA and our way of relating to God is just as unique and divergent that is why only the Holy Spirit Himself can take you there and keep you there. This is the true meaning of relationship with the Master. So I cannot tell you how to get there I can only urge you to seek the Lord to reveal it to you. Maybe you really don't desire that kind of relationship, believe me very soon you are going to need it and want it very much and it may be too late. Ask Him now to increase your desire for that deep and abiding relationship that surpasses anything that you have experienced before. It is a prayer that He will answer every time because He has committed Himself to that very purpose.
I would appreciate feedback from my readers as it is the only way I can know if I'm doing any good at all or if anyone is understanding the things that I am writing.
God bless you all and may He fill your heart and soul and spirit with His manifest presence.
