The Secret Place
“There is a sure-fire 100% guaranteed way to have
instant intimacy with the Father; Jesus Himself gave us the key. Jesus gave us
this secret in the verse when He said, ‘Your Father who is in the secret
place.’ Jesus is saying your Father is already in the secret place. He has gone
ahead of you; He is waiting for you. The moment you get to the secret place,
you are in the immediate presence of your Father. Furthermore, Jesus gives us
the key to finding this secret place. Jesus made it clear. To get there,
all you have to do is shut your door!
When you enter your room and shut your door, you are
in the presence of your Father. Instantaneously! It matters not how you feel.
The secret place is your portal to the throne, the place where you taste of
heaven itself. Receive this word and you have gained one of the greatest
secrets to intimacy with God. Because when you know you are in the immediate
presence of your Father, your spirit and soul will often respond to that
knowledge with heart-felt connectedness.
The principles Jesus gave in chapters 5-7 in Matthew’s
Gospel were all given at one time, in one great sermon. Here’s how HE expressed
it: “’Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine and does them, I will liken
him to a wise man who built his house on the rock; and the rain descended, the
floods came and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for
it was founded on the rock. But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and
does not do
them will be like a foolish man who built his house on
the sand and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell.
And great was its fall.’ Matthew 7:24-27
Jesus’ message is unmistakable. He is saying, ‘If you
will hear and do what I have taught you in the Sermon on the Mount, you will
build foundations into your life that will survive the harshest storms of
life.’ The question is, will you have the foundation in place to survive the
storms? One of the most essential elements of that foundation is to have an
intact secret life with God. Those who hear this word and do it will not only
enjoy intimacy with the Father on a daily basis, but they will also be equipped
to sustain the greatest storms—whether they originate from hell’s fury or the
world’s distractions or the floodgates of heaven’s blessings.
DON’T FORGET THE SECRET; SHUT YOUR DOOR!
