June 2, 2020 Secret Place Foundations

​God is calling His people into a place of silence in our time with Him and all throughout our day.  The discipline of quieting our thoughts and emotions is to rest in Him, because when the atmosphere is raging all around us, quietness will be our weapon.  This quietness will prepare us to go into intercession much more effectively to strengthen the atmosphere around us and those we are praying for. This is a choice, will we come into this place of silence?
 
Promise #1
Isaiah 30 :15  For thus says the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel: "In returning and rest you shall be saved; In quietness and confidence shall be your strength." But you would not,
 
When we come to the Lord in silence in our secret place, we can then clearly hear the wisdom from His heart that He knows is vital for this season of history!
 
Promise #2
Ecclesiastes 9:17-18  The words of the wise heard in quietness are better than the shouting of a ruler among fools.  Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinner destroys much good.
 
All believers are called to Radical Obedience. Obedience is doing all that an authority requires, and abstaining from all that is prohibited.  It is a proper submission to authority. Radical is doing something to the extreme, something very different that the usual or traditional. In the Bible an example of this is someone who takes a Nazarite Vow.  I challenge you to look it up for yourself and see why they are radical.
 
Philemon 1:21  Having confidence in your obedience, I write to you, since I know that you will do even more than what I say.
 
Let us take the rest of this week to LINGER with the Lord in the Secret Place every day, in silence, gaining wisdom, and walking out radical obedience!
