This morning while I was in the secret place with Jesus, He began to speak about a coming storm. Comparing it to a thunderstorm in the natural, he began to give insights and great hope for a different kind of storm coming to the Earth. 

I felt I heard Him say,

I no longer call you slaves, because a master doesn’t confide in his slaves. Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me. You didn’t choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name. This is my command: Love each other.”

‭‭John‬ ‭15‬:‭15‬-‭17‬ ‭NLT‬‬

““Rise up in splendor and be radiant, for your light has dawned, and Yahweh’s glory now streams from you! Look carefully! Darkness blankets the earth, and thick clouds covers the nations, but Yahweh arises upon you and the brightness of his glory appears over you! Nations will be attracted to your radiant light and kings to the sunrise-glory of your new day…You will know me intimately that I am Yahweh, your Savior, for I am the Mighty Hero who rules over Jacob’s tribes, your Kinsman-Redeemer!”” ‭‭

Isaiah‬ ‭60‬:‭1‬-‭3‬, ‭16‬ ‭TPT‬‬

I asked, “How Lord? How do we prepare ourselves to “walk on water”? 

“But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.”

Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

💡A few tips for fighting for time with the Lord in your secret place: (I’ve learned this is the most important part of my day and spending time with Jesus is worth fighting for!)

  • Hide your phone.  This is the biggest distraction.  Put it in another room!
  • Sing acapella to Him or play music through a different source. (But don’t use your phone)
  • Get a watch or clock for the wall or table so you can keep track of the time without having your phone.
  • Keep paper close by so you can write down the bombarding thoughts of things to do! Once you’ve written them down, you can let the thoughts go til later.
  • Try and get enough sleep (don’t stay up so late) so you’re not nodding off constantly.😂
  • This is a battle. Pray at the beginning and ask Holy Spirit to cover you with the mighty blood of Jesus to  block all spiritual warfare that would love to distract you and stop you from hearing Jesus calm your fears and lavish his love on you.
  • Invite the Lord into your secret place. When you begin to priortize Him daily, you will notice that He is already awaiting your arrival because He delights in spending time with every one of His Beloveds. Especially YOU.♥️
