Secret Place  My Sanctuary

Beloved friends, During my quiet time the Lord really began to speak to me today about being continually in the Secret Place in the midst of the storm.

As well as some other things I will write about at a later date.

I started a series of podcast on the Secret Place on Manna's site.

I know many have been resting there for some time, but we do have some newbies that have not yet gone deeper into the Lord in intimacy, so I began to do some podcast teachings on the subject. Just breaking ground today.

. I then pulled up some of the messages the Lord gave me in 2004 and 2005, and are for today, jsut what the Lord was speaking to me about.

I am sorry I should have left the music off but do not like to hear my own voice, isn't that funny? It did take away from hearing the audio so will not be doing that when I start the teachings. I am trying to find a way around not having to write so much.

Here is the first teaching I received in 2005 about the Secret Place.

Secret Place

My Sanctuary

Beloved,

When evil comes upon you, whether sword or judgement, persecution or famine enter into My sanctuary and cry unto Me in your affliction and I will hear and help you.

I am right here within, you ARE My sanctuary my house made without hands, this is where I live, not some distant realm far away in the heavens. If I seem distant it is because you have moved away from Me, and when you move away from Me, you are not receiving My divine life within you, which is the divine connection we have when you are abiding within, when you are not abiding within, you are no longer connected and you are walking in the flesh.

When you are connected to me, you can do greater things than I have done. As you become more and more aware of My Presence, as you enter into the sanctuary, you can then go behind the veil into the holy of holies. There you will find all that you are seeking.

As you abide in My sanctuary, do not take your eyes off of Me, to do so breaks the connection for I am all you shall ever need, I am your life, My resurrection life that continually flows into you as you continually abide in Me, we are connected and the life flows through you and in you. I am your protector and your salvation so call upon Me in your time of need.

Make praise your life, it flows out from you when we are divinely connected and the enemy is dispersed and I rejoice, make Me the object of your worship. Praise Me in all of your circumstances. There is power in praise, mountains will crumble and the enemy shall fall. Go into battle with praise as your weapon, with the full armor on. Nothing shall defeat you, and no weapon formed against you shall prosper.

Enter in Beloved, enter into My sanctuary, I am there waiting for you.

You busy yourself with so many things, but one thing is needful and that is to stop and enter in with a song on your heart and worship on your lips, and I shall make your paths straight smooth.

Many trials come when you break the connection and go out on your own, you take your eyes off me, and put them on your circumstances and then your problems are magnified in your eyes and you begin to fear, and to not trust Me.

I say child stay within and move through your circumstances effortlessly.

The time is coming when I shall separate the sheep from the goats that have mixed with my flock. My sheep hear My voice and another shall they not follow. But the goats shall not hear and shall follow the way of the wolf

They shall be scattered to the left and to the right and the wolf shall devour them.

You hear My voice in the midst of the sanctuary, and there you shall find My rest, My peace in your time of need. The battle is not yours but is mine saith the Lord. I will do battle for you and through you.

Seek out My sanctuary, let it be your sanctuary a place where you receive My life, and My help.

Footnote

One thing that has been deeply disturbing to me, is to see how those who call themselves Christians live, before the world. it has greatly grieved me. Christians I work with, curse, tell dirty jokes, wear crystals, gamble and who knows what else. But the Lord showed me that many of these are the tares that the enemy has planted among the Wheat, the true Saints of God. Though our Lord Yeshua is very forgiving when we come to Him and confess our sins, yet if we are to be able to handle all that is coming our way, we must repent of our sins, and move on with God. Sin has no place in a true Christian.

If we want to follow Jesus, Yeshua, he will wash us with His blood, and bring you into the kingdom. He loves each one of us so deeply, we don't want to be taken out as a tare. Which is what will happen if we do not repent.

There are those who have a real spiritual struggle, and Yeshua knows this, and He has made a way for you to be healed, He hurts with you. Get on your knee's and cry out to God continually to be delivered. He will do just that, but He needs to see you truly want to be free, of those things.
