Go to Your Secret Place!

In the recklessness of the world we live in, it is easy to become spiritually drained. The wickedness of the world around pounds us daily with its lies, deceit and awfulness. It is easy to find ourselves so beat up from society’s evil that our spiritual being is desperately craving refreshing and renewal.

The Scripture tells us: “Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where He prayed” (Mark 1:34). Jesus understood the importance of finding His secret place while society was still asleep. He went there early so He could commune with His Father without any disturbances—being renewed and refreshed from His Heavenly Father.

You and I need our secret place. We need that place where we can free our lives and minds from the bombardment of the world around us. We need to find it at a time when our minds are fresh and open to all GOD desires to share with us and pour into us. It will most probably involve some personal sacrifice. But, you need it!

For too many, the secret place has become wherever the individual finds themselves when the battles begin. Rather, than preparing for the battle in advance, you wait until it begins and yourself totally unprepared. The Bible indicates a need to be prayed up and prepared—being fully clothed in the armor of GOD—with a complete understanding of Satan’s plans and tactics.

Jesus went into His secret place early and came out prepared for everything the world intended to throw at Him. You need to set up a place that becomes your secret place—a place where you and GOD can commune and He can refresh your spirit, renew your soul and prepare you for every evil that the enemy has set against you. I encourage you to go to your secret place and pray!
