King David recorded by THE SPIRIT in Psalm 36:
7 O God, how extravagant is Your cherishing Love!
All mankind can find a hiding place
under the shadow of Your wings.
There is a hiding place of protection reserved for all mankind and FATHER created it out of HIS Love for us. When we are in this hiding place, we are sowing into our future. We are being prepared to walk at a higher level thus we must not allow ourselves to be hindered by those relationships that don’t have our best interest at heart. Their priorities are selfish in nature and only want to “take” from others to fulfill their own needs and desires. They don’t truly have the revelation of Agape Love thus there can be no unity.
The details of The Secret Place David spoke about in the above verse are given in Psalm 91. FATHER clearly wants to remind us of this passage I have shared in the past. Read it slowly and ponder every Word:
91 When you sit enthroned under the shadow of Shaddai,
you are hidden in the strength of God Most High.
2 He’s the hope that holds me and the Stronghold to shelter me,
the only God for me, and my great confidence.
3 He will rescue you from every hidden trap of the enemy,
and he will protect you from false accusation
and any deadly curse.
4 His massive arms are wrapped around you, protecting you.
You can run under His covering of majesty and hide.
His arms of faithfulness are a shield keeping you from harm.
5 You will never worry about an attack of demonic forces at night
nor have to fear a spirit of darkness coming against you.
6 Don’t fear a thing!
Whether by night or by day, demonic danger will not trouble you,
nor will the powers of evil launched against you.
7 Even in a time of disaster, with thousands and thousands being killed,
you will remain unscathed and unharmed.
8 you will be a spectator as the wicked perish in judgment,
for they will be paid back for what they have done!
9–10 When we live our lives within the shadow of God Most High,
our secret hiding place, we will always be shielded from harm.
How then could evil prevail against us or disease infect us?
11 God sends angels with special orders to protect you wherever you go,
defending you from all harm.
12 If you walk into a trap, they’ll be there for you
and keep you from stumbling.
13 You’ll even walk unharmed among the fiercest powers of darkness,
trampling every one of them beneath your feet!
14 For here is what the Lord has spoken to me:
“Because you have delighted in me as My great Lover,
I will greatly protect you.
I will set you in a high place, safe and secure before My Face.
15 I will answer your cry for help every time you pray,
and you will find and feel My Presence
even in your time of pressure and trouble.
I will be your glorious hero and give you a feast.
16 You will be satisfied with a full life and with all that I do for you.
For you will enjoy the fullness of My salvation!”
Paul understood the Secret Place as he wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2 Corinthians chapter 6:
14 Don’t continue to team up with unbelievers in mismatched alliances, for what partnership is there between righteousness and rebellion? Who could mingle light with darkness? 15 What harmony can there be between Christ and Satan? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? 16 What friendship does God’s temple have with demons? For indeed, we are the temple of the living God, just as God has said:
I will make my home in them and walk among them.
I will be their God, and they will be My people.
17 For this reason,
“Come out from among them and be separate,” says the Lord.
“Touch nothing that is unclean, and I will embrace you.
18 I will be a true Father to you,
and you will be MY Beloved Sons and Daughters,”
says the Lord Yahweh Almighty.
We must not allow people to have more influence over us than Our Heavenly Father. Their opinions are meant to be alternatives to the Absolute Truth found in Heaven. Why listen to the “talking heads” on television whose primary objectives are to slant our mindset to align with theirs. Their opinions will not cause us to mature as Beloved Sons and Daughters. In fact, they will hinder our walk and growth. Be ye separate!
Within our individual futures are “missions”. If there is no mission, why would an angel need to visit you? A primary angelic visitation is associated with a mission and will not promote inactivity.
The enemy wants to waste your time by sending you on alternative paths away from the Highway of Holiness. Each one of us has been given something to help the Body of Christ and the adversary realizes this as he seeks to keep you from fulfilling your specific function in The Body of Christ. Why do you think Jesus emphasized unity in His Prayer found in John chapter 17 (referenced in yesterday’s writing)? He fully understands the importance of you and I fulfilling our purpose here on earth.
It is better to get understanding from a few verses of Scripture than to read many chapters without understanding. One seed with proper nutrients and water is all it takes to produce a fruit-bearing tree. In the hiding place, I am being formed into the Image of GOD… think about it. I am being transformed by the renewing of my mind. Paul received this revelation from The Holy Spirit and recorded in Romans chapter 12:
2 Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you, but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in His Eyes.
And in 2nd Corinthians chapter 3:
18 We can all draw close to HIM with the veil removed from our faces. And with no veil we all become like mirrors who brightly reflect the Glory of the Lord Jesus. We are being transfigured into His very Image as we move from one brighter level of glory to another. And this glorious transfiguration comes from the Lord, WHO is the Spirit.
