Secret Place

I totally got rocked last night, I was listening to Bill talking about supernatural courage. It amazes me every time that I listen to Bill (even if i've heard it before), I come alive, something burns in me.

But Bill was talking about how we live life. We take risk outside, and we contend for breakthrough in the secret place. And out of that, we take risk outside. Any promises of God that we have been given and are not yet experiencing, they need to be pursued after in the secret place.

I don't know, but something just clicked. A lot of times, we assume the "secret place" is just spending a lot of time in "prayer". And then, a lot of times, we assume "prayer" to be just talking to God. Prayer must be mutual, communication on both ends. That's why Jesus said, "ask and receive", it's because He expected a response whenever He sought His father. As should we, expect a response from God. the secret place is just hanging out with God one on one. You share your heart, your frustration, everything. But it's not just a pouring out of your own heart, because it's also an encounter and growing revelation of His heart, that's why there has to be a response. Otherwise, we're just throwing words up in heaven, never expecting anything to come down.

All our answers are there, Holy Spirit declaring ALL truth to us. How to raise the dead, how to move with the spirit, how to worship in spirit and truth, how to be one with the Father as Jesus was, how to love, how to walk in our destinies, how to know our futures, how to find peace, how to access unlimited joy, how to trust, how to be yourself... but He won't share secrets with people who have a shallow friendship, He's looking for best friends. The deeper the intimacy, the deeper the trust, the deeper the secrets and truths to be revealed.
