How do I dwell in the secret place of the most high? (Psalm 91:1) Forget dwelling there, how do I find the secret place of the most high? It seems that what I want more than anything else is to dwell in that secret place with the Father. The Father draws me to him. (John 6:44)
All the outer running to teachers, reading books, and talking about God is not the secret place where God dwells. All the outer things have helped me come closer to understanding intellectually. It is all part of the Father drawing me to Himself. I did not choose Him, He chose me. (John 15:16) God seeks me. My desire to dwell in the secret place with Him is God's desire within me.
I must come directly to my Father within me in that secret place. I must learn how to let it happen and dwell with Him. The light within me is not some thing, it is God Himself. I must be still and wait on the Lord to hear His still small voice within me. (Psalm 46:10) His Kingdom is within me. (Luke 17:21)
Spending time every day in the Kingdom of God within me praying and listening is my appointment with the Lord. Meditating on God and Christ, surrendering completely to the Holy Spirit. Not the passive surrender of sleep, but the active surrender of awareness of the presence of the Holy Spirit. I go unto the Father deliberately and wait for Him to speak. I wait on the Lord. (Psalm 27:14, Psalm 37:4-8, Psalm 62:5-8) I sit in the silence and wait. I commune alone with my Creator, the Creator of the Universe.
My personal relationship with my Creator develops daily by communing in silence with Him. My goal is not to escape from the world, but to heighten my awareness of my relationship with the Father within and bring that awareness into my activities during the day. Thy will is being done in me now. The Father flows through me as health, life, peace, power and prosperity. The perfect will of the Father is the perfect outward expression in my life and it comes now, easily and in a perfect way. I acknowledge the growth I have made and I surrender to the Holy Spirit.
I have nothing to fear. Fear feelings are just a sign that I am crossing over into the the unknown. I embrace the unknown that my Father places in my path and walk in faith. In faith I follow God's leading.
I don't have to reach out to God because He is right there within me every minute of every day. I need only listen. Does a seed stretch up to the sunlight first? No, a seed sends its roots down into unknown darkness first. Lord, fulfill your highest desire in me. I am the clay and You are the potter. (2 Corinthians 3:18)
