Prayer clears the air.
When you cease to pray, you lack counsel and become foolish. Prayerless people always make wrong decisions in life.
There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which
the vulture's eye hath not seen:
The lion's whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce
lion passed by it.
Job 28:7-8 KJV
Where is that path which no fowl knows?
What are the vultures?
And what are the lions?
The path which no fowl knows is the path to the Secret Place.
No “bird of prey” knows that ‘hidden path’, and no “lion” prowls there.
The Presence of The LORD is the Secret Place.
“The vultures” and “the lions” are demons.
When you are in ‘the Secret Place of The Most High’, the devil cannot reach you.
But where shall Wisdom be found? and where is the Place of Understanding? (verse 12).
It is in GOD’s Presence.
Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in
the land of the living.
The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith,
It is not with me.
It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be
weighed for the price thereof.
It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with
the precious onyx, or the sapphire.
The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold.
No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of Wisdom is above rubies.
The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be
valued with pure gold (vv.13-19).
Whence then cometh Wisdom? and where is
the Place of Understanding? (v.20).
Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air (v.21).
Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof
with our ears (vv.20-22).
God understandeth the Way thereof, and He
knoweth the Place thereof.
For He looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth
under the whole Heaven;
To make the weight for the winds; and He weigheth
the waters by measure.
When He made a decree for the rain, and a way for
the lightning of the thunder:
Then did He see it, and declare it; He prepared it, yea,
and searched it out.
And unto man He said, Behold, the fear of The Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.
(verses 23-28 KJV).
To fear of The LORD is true wisdom—Wisdom from above. The fear of The LORD gives us insight to shun evil.
The Holy Spirit opens up to us, Heaven’s Secrets and brings earth’s secrets to light. And we can only gain access into these secrets through genuine spiritual acts of worship—like: meditation and prayer.
