Why Going Into Your Secret Place Is So Critical In Our Life As A Believer In Jesus

We know that Jesus accomplished what He came to do in his earthly ministry 2000 years ago and that he said "It is finished." What is it that is finished? The work He came to do so that humankind could have the opportunity to be reconciled back to God. So that we could then receive the free gift of the Holy Spirit and so that we can now be equipped to co-labor with Jesus on this earth. So now that Jesus has accomplished what He came to do it is time we do the things we can to grow in God's love and abide in Jesus so that we can be a light to the lost and even to confused double minded Christian believers.

There is much to do but we should first rest in Jesus and get to know the love of God and experience God's love in prayer in the secret place. When we do that we can naturally bear fruit and show love to others and be a light to the world not as unbelievers do in their efforts but as God has us to do by abiding in Him. So our work is to rest in Him and the fruit will come.

On way to rest in Jesus is to go to our secret place regularly and get to know our heavenly Father.

Psalms 46:10 KJV
Be still and know that I am God

Isaiah 40:31 KJV
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Psalms 91:1 KJV
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.

Jesus said:
Matthew 6:5-6 KJV

And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.

But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

Jim Richards explains this important part of experiencing and hanging out with our heavenly Father.

Which Covenant Was Jesus Under Before Dying on the Cross?

The answer is the Old Covenant. Galatians 4:4 KJV But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, Jesus was born under the law and was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel. Matthew 15:24 KJV But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Because Jesus lived under the covenant of law, His words line up with that covenant as He spoke to the Jews. Under the old covenant the only blood ever shed for people was animal blood which had no power to forgive sins or perfect the believer before God. (Heb. 7:19; 9:9; 10:1-4; 11:40) Animal's blood could only cover/atone for sin until the Lamb of God would come and take away the sin of the world and remove it as far as the east is from the west and remember it no more. John 1:29 KJV The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. If you are a true believer the...

The Ways of Man That Seem Right: Twisting Scripture to Fit Man's Doctrine

1 John 1:9 KJV I see deception in the translation of 1 John 1:9 verse similarly to that of Hebrews 10:25 KJV. The meaning that people come up with is often viewed as godly and seems right. But assigning a godly meaning to a bible verse doesn't make that explanation true. Example: (Hebrews 10:25 our need to "go to church" and 1 John 1:9 some flavor of asking God for forgiveness and some would say our not needing to ask God for foregiveness) So these explanations become part of a doctrine which props up man's needs for the church building and that building's organization. Example: (Hebrews 10:25 used to guilt people into coming to that specific church building every Sunday AND 1 John 1:9 telling people either they never need to confess sin OR that they have to specifically track each sin and confess each one). A double minded man is unstable in ALL his ways. Why is truth so important? Believing a lie causes a supernatural sp...

Why Are So Many Christians Double Minded?

The observation we see in the world is people that call themselves Christians are trapped in sin, confused about the gospel, and don't know what God's will for them is. The question is why are there so many double minded Christians who are unstable in all their ways? I believe the carnal mind is getting in the way. Many are taught that after you are born again you no longer have a carnal mind because, "God doesn't make schizophrenics!" This being preached by a double minded preacher doesn't carry much weight. It seems there are many frustrated Christians that have given up and when they do that they fall deeper in the ditch. But God's word is true and if we do what He says there is a way out. Submitting to God's Righteousness Truths: -Yielding to lawlessness leads to more lawlessness. -Submitting to righteousness leads more righteousness which leads to holiness. -The carnal mind is enmity with God. Even though we will never be perfect...
