Do you have a secret place with God?

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
Psalms 91:1 New King James Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Do you dwell (live and abide constantly) in the “Secret Place” of the “Most High God” (El Elyown)? Do you dwell (live and abide constantly) under the shadow of the “Almighty God” (El Shaddai)? Look closely at this verse. My God is The Most High God, there isn’t nobody, no one, no other God that’s as High as He is! He’s the Almighty, The Most Powerful, the All in all, He’s anything and everything you could possibly want or need! He is the Great ‘I AM’. But you must abide in Him, you must live and walk in His shadow if you expect to receive from Him. That means that everyday, all day, not just on Sundays, you have to live, think, walk, and talk in the shadow of The Most High God. You must have intimate fellowship with Him, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit every day. You must put your trust in Him and rely on Him in all that you do, regardless of what is going on around you!

MY PRAYER…
Almighty God, Most High God, may I always know the comfort and safety of your “secret place”. May I always be in Your shadow and under Your grace and mercy. Precious Father, by the power of Your Holy Spirit, strengthen me and my walk that I may do that which is pleasing in Your sight. Help me Lord to be more like Jesus and less like me. In Jesus’ name, I pray.
Amen

The “Secret Place” of the Most High God

A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you.
Psalm 91-7 New King James Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
In the “Secret Place” of the Most High God no evil can befall us, no foe can touch us.
No matter how we are attacked or persecuted if we are in that “Secret Place” of the Most High God no evil can befall us, no foe can touch us, no plague can get anywhere near us. It doesn’t say they won’t try to. It, God’s Word, just says they can’t get to us! We must learn to dwell, abide, to constantly live in that “Secret Place.” We must abide there, for if we are abiding there He will cover us with His feathers and even if ten thousand fall at my right hand none of them shall come near me! For He is my God and my Fortress and His angels have been given charge over me to keep His word concerning me. These are all promises God has made to His people and God is not a man He should lie! Promises that we must learn how to receive into our lives. How do you receive a gift when it is given to you?

MY PRAYER…
Holy Father God, thank You for being my Fortress and my Refuge in life’s storms. Thank You Lord that You have covered me over and have delivered me from all evil. Lord, thank You that I can abide in that “Secret Place” with You at all times and that You are my comfort and my strength when I am weak. Thank You Lord for allowing me to be cleansed of all unrighteousness and sin so that I can fellowship with You. Thank You Lord for placing Your angels with charge over me to keep me in all my ways. Lord, thank You that when I set my love upon You, You deliver me from life’s trials and that You know my name! Through Jesus, my Lord and Saviour, I offer my thanks and praise.
Amen

Complete protection in the ‘Secret Place’

You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, Nor of the arrow that flies by day, Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.
Psalm 91:5-6 New King James Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
You are completely protected in the ‘Secret Place’ with God.
No fear! If we are abiding in the “Secret Place” there He will cover us with His feathers and not even terrorists or criminals, flaming arrows from the evil one or sickness and disease or any other pestilence or peril will be able to come near us. It is impossible for any of that to come into contact with God Almighty, but we can! We can abide in His “Secret Place” and we can dwell in His shadow because He has given us mercy and grace through the Blood of Jesus. But we must come through Jesus as He has freed us of sin. We must come washed in the blood of Jesus. We can come no other way! There is NO other way! And we must remain, abide, dwell in His presence.

MY PRAYER…
Holy Father, thank You for rescuing me from all the evil things that are in this world. Thank You Lord for Your protection and for the Blood of Jesus. Father, I thank You that I can come boldly into Your throne room and receive mercy and grace from You. That You will cover me and protect me from any of the evils of this world and all You ask in return is that I love You. Father I DO love you! In Jesus name I praise You.
Amen

God’s ‘Secret Place’!

Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler And from the perilous pestilence. He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler.
Psalm 91:3-4 New King James Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
There is major protection in God’s ‘Secret Place’!
Just look at all the protection spoken of in this simple verse! He will deliver you, He will cover you, He will provide refuge for you, and He will provide you with the truth! He will shield you and protect you. He is the one who provides your protection and deliverance, you can not do it yourself. How does He do that? He does that when we take up refuge in His “Secret Place”. We must learn to dwell, abide, and live in that “Secret Place.” Not just to go there when we feel threatened or need comfort. We must abide there, for if we are abiding there He will cover us with His feathers and His truth (His Word) will become your shield and your defense. Do you have His Word? Do you abide in His “Secret Place”? Do you even know there is a a ‘Secret Place’ in and with God?

MY PRAYER…
Holy Father, Protector of all who believe in You, take my life and my every breath and let me dwell in Your presence forever. Cover me Lord with Your feathers, let Your Word of Truth become my shield and my defense. Help me to use it for Your glory. May my words and actions from this day reflect Your truth and Your Word. In Jesus name I pray.
Amen

Where do you spend time?

I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.”
Psalm 91:2 New King James Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Do you spend time in the ‘Secret Place’ with God?
No matter how we are attacked or persecuted, if we are in that “Secret Place” of the Most High God no evil can befall us, no foe can touch us, no plague can come near our dwelling. We must learn to dwell, abide, and to live in that secret place. We must learn to trust in Him and His secret place. Can you place your trust in God, can you turn your entire life and everything that is going on in it completely over to Him and just relax in His “Secret Place”? It is the only way He can take care of all your needs. When we try to do it ourselves we will mess it up. Remember He is your all in all, He is everything you need in life. He is the “Great I AM!” Hand it over to Him and just relax in His presence.

MY PRAYER…
El Shaddai, El Elyown, Most High God, Thank You for being my All in all. Thank You for having that “Secret Place” where I can come and dwell whenever I feel like it. Thank You Lord that I can place my trust in You, that I can rely on You when all else seems dim and gloomy. Father, thank You that You are always there willing and ready to spread Your feathers over me and provide a shadow that I might dwell under. In Jesus name I offer you this prayer of thanksgiving.
Amen

Do you know your God like David did?

Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that Great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do His will, working in you that which is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen
Hebrews 13:20-21 King James Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE(s)…
God is talking here about the ‘New Covenant’ through Jesus. Thank God we have a better covenant than they had in the Old Testament. We have an everlasting covenant based on better promises. But, take notice at what ratified that covenant, what brought it into its final form and made it take effect for us. The Blood of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, shed on the Cross for all of mankind! His death, His burial, and then His resurrection into heaven seated at the right hand of the Father. We have a new and better covenant with God Almighty, ratified by the Blood of Jesus. That blood did not cover or atone for sins as the blood of animals did. His Blood, through this covenant, washed away our sins forever (I prefer to say “it blew them out of existence!) Take hold of this and learn your covenant rights with God Almighty and you will never look back on the old way! Know your God and your covenant and you will stand mighty before any enemy, including the devil, just as David stood mighty before Goliath. What was it David told Goliath when Goliath began mocking him as being only a mere boy? David said to Goliath: “This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee;” David knew His God! How was it David was able to do this? Not in his own strength, but in the strength of the Lord. This guy was at least 3 times the size of David – it didn’t matter, David’s God (my God) was bigger yet!
Once when I was preaching this story a young man about 6 was sitting with his father and when I spoke the part about David taking Goliath’s head he sang out; “And there was blood everywhere too!” He understood that David would win over Goliath!

MY PRAYER…
Most Holy God, I give You praise and glory and thanksgiving forever. Father I thank You for Your covenant promises, for a cleansing by the Blood of Jesus that only needed be done once and for all. I know that You are not a man that should lie and that what You have promised in Your covenant You have already fulfilled through Jesus. I thank You Lord that You have given us not only a better covenant with better promises, but You have made a way into Your Throne Room through Your most holy Son. In Jesus mighty name, I pray.
Amen

Search my heart oh God!

Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
Psalm 139:23-24 New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
God is omnipotent, omnipresent, and He is all knowing. He knows the condition of our hearts even better than we do. God knows us inside and out. We can’t pretend we are something we are not with Him. We can’t hide behind a facade and pretend to be something else, He knows us! He sees all we do and hears all we say, knows everything we think. He even knows our thoughts before we speak them. This should liberate us to be able to have real intimacy with Him, but instead most of us run from such a close relationship with God. If our desire, however, is to become more like Him, the only way to be transformed into His likeness is by inviting Him in and allowing “Him to look at our heart, our motivations, and our desires, all of it, not just some. He desires our close, intimate, fellowship most of all. He wants to renew your heart, mind and soul to a point where you think, feel, and desire the things He does. He wants to remove anything that is not of Him from our lives.

MY PRAYER…
Father, I know You are the one who “searches hearts and minds” yet because of the grace You demonstrated in Jesus, I am confident that You love me. My heart is sorry for the sin I have committed, and I truly am ready to change. But I need Your help and Your power working in me to affect that change. I of myself can do nothing. I am really trying to serve You in honor and purity. Please fill me afresh today with Your Holy Spirit to enable me to become more like Christ. Father, search my heart and purge that which is not of You. In the name of Your Holy Son, Jesus I pray.
Amen

What can fill that void in our inner man and satisfy us?

Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
Psalm 73:25-26 New King James Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
What can truly fulfill and sustain us? What is there that can fill that void in our inner man (our spirit man) besides the one who created us and wants His Spirit in us? Maybe the best way to answer these questions is by asking another. What can we keep when our bodies are placed silently in their graves at the death of this flesh that we currently live in? When our bodies return to the dust of the earth that they came from, what will we have? You must realize that we are spirit and live for eternity as a spirit, only this earth suit that we live in, our earth home (our bodies) dies. Only God and our relationship with God by our spirit will last beyond the grave. Or if you are not a Christian, then you will spend eternity with the devil in Hell, there are only two choices. If God is what lasts, then how can we displace Him for anything else that doesn’t last now? We must make that choice now.
MY PRAYER…
Mighty Yahweh, My Strength and My Shield, Keeper of the Covenant and Creator of all that was, is, and ever will be. You are my hope, my strength and my future, my “High Tower”. I live this day in wide open amazement that the keeper of the universe knows my name, hears my voice, and cares for me personally. That He has adopted me as one of His own and made me an heir to His Throne. Thank You Lord for being my past, my present, and my future, for being the Great I Am in my life. Through my Savior, Jesus, I pray.
Amen

There is a difference

Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.
Deuteronomy 6:4-5 New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE
Are you living in religion or Christianity? There is a difference!!
So many times Satan seduces and deceives us into a flat, 2 dimensional religion (Dos & Don’ts) (Catholicism and religion) instead of true Christianity. He deceives us and tricks us until he has us just doing church and doing ‘good’ deeds, which are really nothing more than works of the flesh to satisfy religion. Works of the flesh do not, can not save us and these works of the flesh can not and do not please God. But God calls us out of darkness and into a three dimensional faith in Jesus (His Death, Burial, & Resurrection). He (God) wants us to love Him with all of our being, in all of our actions, and with all of our might. He wants us to put our faith in Him into action, not based on what we can do, but what HE has already done for us. What He can do through us. And what HE can do with us if we will only let Him have control of our lives. When you make Jesus the Lord of your life, you give Him permission to take control of your life. If you haven’t done that, then you are just walking in religion NOT Christianity.

MY PRAYER
Father of all grace and mercy, I give all thanks to You. I thank You for being such a loving Father and Lord. Heavenly Father, I honor You as God Almighty (El Shaddai). I appreciate You for all Your kindness and blessings lavished upon me. I love You because You first loved me and sent Your Son Jesus to pay the penalty for my sin. I thank You Lord for making a way into Your Kingdom for me, where there was no way. Nothing I could have done would have been enough. Only through Jesus’ Blood am I made righteous. My heart’s desire today is to demonstrate my love for You in all I do, and say. Father, take my life and burn up all that is not of You in it. Purge me Lord and then fill me with Your will, Your desires, and Your plans for my life. Oh Father, that I may be a vessel worthy to be used in The Master’s hands. In Jesus name I pray.
Amen

What/Who do you live under?

For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds will I remember no more. In that He says, a new covenant, He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.
Hebrews 8:12-13 New King James Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE(s)…
Do you live under “The Law” or under God’s Mercy and Grace?
Notice that God says in His Word (not me) that He has made the first Covenant (The Old Covenant –Old Testament) obsolete! I didn’t say that, God Did! God has told us that we are to be partakers of a “New” covenant that was confirmed and ratified with the Blood of Jesus, a covenant that is merciful. The old covenant was not merciful, failing to keep the old (ALL the rules) brought an unmerciful death usually by stoning. But God Himself said it is obsolete, growing old and decaying and is vanishing away. Now the old covenant (the “Law” or ten commandments and the rest of the 613 laws and rules in the Mosaic Law) was given to Moses because God’s people had turned away from Him and His ways. God had to show them the mistake they were making. So He gave the “Law” to Moses for the people to be as a teacher to point the way to Jesus who was to come. But, now Jesus has come and has died for us that we might have the New and better Covenant through His Blood. If only God’s people would study and learn His Word! Then they would understand this, instead of believing everything that certain religious controlling people tell them without checking it out themselves. He said: “My people perish for lack of knowledge.” Which covenant are you living under?

MY PRAYER…
Holy and precious Father, help us to understand Your ways. I know that I am to be a partaker of this “New” covenant also, but instill in my heart the full meaning of this covenant. Help me Lord to gain revelation knowledge of what this new covenant is really about. Help me Lord to learn to lean on and to pull from this “new” covenant the grace, the mercy, the forgiveness, and the strength necessary to be victorious now in this life. The things that come only from You Lord. In the name of Your Holy Child, Jesus, and by the cleansing of His precious Blood, I pray.
Amen
