Secrets of the Secret Place
“He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.”
Psalm 91v1
“One of the best kept secrets of our faith is the blessedness and joy of cultivating a secret life with God.”
Bob Sorge
The secret place is where we cultivate our personal relationship with God. This autumn we are challenging the church to go deeper with the Father in order that the church can go higher. The maximum height of any building is predetermined by the depth of its foundations and in a similar way the heights we can soar with God are determined by the depth of the relationship we have with him. A shallow relationship with the Father will produce a shallow church.
“If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well.”
James 2v8
I want Jesus to be able to say about this church that we are doing well and the one way I know we can produce that report is by fulfilling the royal law to love the people God puts into our lives. This can only occur in all its fullness out of our own love relationship with our heavenly Father. When God puts His love into our hearts loving people becomes the norm. For us to build a house of love here in Bridgend will occur if we build upon a deep foundation of the Father’s love.
Throughout the autumn the house groups will be focusing on Bob Sorge’s book “Secrets of the Secret Place”. I encourage you to buy your own copy and start to go through it at your own pace. There are 52 short chapters and it’s ideal to use as a daily devotional. We are selling them at the reduced price of £4.50 but if you aren’t able to afford it but will promise to read it I will give you a copy free.
Let us take time to dwell in the secret place with God. The book is simply a tool that will help us focus toward this goal.
Every Blessing
