The Secret Place:
The Most HolyPlace
He that dwelleth in the Secret Place of The Most High shall abide under the Shadow of The Almighty.
I will say of The Lord, He is my Refuge and my Fortress: my God; in Him will I trust.
Surely He shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
He shall cover thee with His feathers, and under His wings shalt thou trust: His Truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
Because thou hast made The Lord, which is my Refuge, even The Most High, thy Habitation;
There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
For He shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
Because he hath set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known My Name.
He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him My Salvation.
Psalm 91 KJV
The Presence of The LORD is the Secret Place and the Shadow of The Almighty is God’s Protection over your life.
The Secret Place is the Most Holy Place.
Whosoever is born of GOD was made in The Secret Place (Psa.139:15-16).
The LORD is our Place of Safety from danger and trouble. He is our Stronghold; so we are not overcome by outside influence of the evil one.
The Holy Spirit is The Secret Place.
The Holy Spirit strengthens and guides you in every battle in your life, and when the battle becomes devastating, He conceals you from the onslaught of the enemy. When the battle is fatal, hold on to your trust in The LORD and He will deliver you.
The Holy Spirit is faithful and steadfast.
He requires from us: complete trust and confidence in Him.
The fowler is the enemy of your soul: satan and his demons. The devil uses terror to intimidate people.
But, The Holy Spirit moves at sudden frequency to stop terror and the destruction of the enemy. The LORD also uses terror to strike on your enemies when He wants to (Ex.23:27).
When you abide in The Spirit, He becomes your Refuge and your spiritual Place of habitation—a Home of Rest.
The enemy lies in wait like a lion in cover; he lies in wait to kill and destroy. But, when you become a scholar of GOD’s divine Presence, waiting on Him in your closet daily, you receive the authority and power to ‘tread upon the lion’ and ‘trample the dragon under foot’.
You become great in the hands of The Almighty because you have come to trust in Him (v.14).
In His Presence, that’s where you are strong.
In His Presence you are hidden in the cave of the mountain.
The ‘mountain’ represents His Presence (Gen.22:14;Ex.3:1; 3:12;15:17; 19:3;19;16;24:12;24:16;24:17;24:18;24:40;34:2;I Kgs 19:11;Psa.43:3;68:16;87:1;99:9;Isa.2:3;Mic.4:1;4:2).
The Salvation of GOD is established at the base of His ‘mountain’; ‘the mountain of His Presence’ (Psa 87:1).
Above this level is the Sanctification of The LORD
He who dwells in the Shelter of The Most High
will rest in the Shadow of The Almighty.
I will say of The Lord, "He is my Refuge
and My Fortress,
My God, in Whom I trust."
Surely He will save you from the fowler's snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
He will cover you with His feathers,
and under His wings you will find refuge;
His faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.
If you make The Most High your dwelling —
even The Lord, Who is my Refuge —
then no harm will befall you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
For He will command His angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
You will tread upon the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
"Because he loves me," says The Lord, "I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges My Name.
He will call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
With long life will I satisfy him
and show him My Salvation."
Psalm 91 NIV
