“You hide them in the secret place of Your presence from the conspiracies of man; You keep them secretly in a shelter from the strife of tongues.”
Psalms 31:20 NASB

“But when you pray, go into your [most] private room, and, closing the door, pray to your Father, Who is in secret; and your Father, Who sees in secret, will reward you in the open.”
Matthew 6:6 AMPC

I stopped seeing the secret place as a physical closet long ago, when God began bringing me deep into understanding of my body, His Temple. Within that temple, the Holy of Holies, flung wide open to me by Jesus, my Lord, King, and Savior. There I meet heart to heart with The Triune.
Practice meeting Him there produces a deep, abiding relationship, making entering and remaining in the Secret Place easier, and faster; more complete and eternal – here and now Kingdom Living. There Peace that passes understanding resides. There Life finds its Umpire, and Love sparks the flames of freedom from all fear in His evident Power and Presence.
That is where we need to be in this season. That place allows full and effective function in Christ, bearing the image of God in the earth as we minister peace and love on earth. That place is ever sure, real, and readily available as we learn to rightly use the keys to it’s Secret unfolding.
