Miracle of the Secret Place

God’s peace had, it seems, suddenly departed. It felt like I was in a whole different atmosphere, When I tried handling it as I felt righteously entitled, nothing made any difference – no matter how well-intended or right. I’ve long ago given up my martyrdom ways – “not letting on I was hurting or struggling”. So, by mid-week, I’d requested prayer from a few trusted friends to stand with/for me. From this point I felt I could get back in the ring and fight afresh – prayerfully that is – with spiritual warfare. I made up my mind to get back to God’s most high secret place (Psalm 91).

As I walked the neighborhood for exercise, I was praying in tongues almost continually, not trusting myself 1) to know exactly what to pray for and 2) not knowing how to pray for what I did know (Rom 8:26). To this I added I added prayer-walking the perimeter of our property as a spiritual warfare strategy. Periodically I’d walk my home 8 times around for new beginnings, and then 12 times around (for authority). But for this particular challenge, I went further, and prayer walked 20 times around to symbolize my hope for 2020 vision of what God is doing in my life. For this as well I was speaking in tongues almost throughout. Pulling out the stops, I included blowing my shofar 5 times (5 being the number for grace) in 3 rooms my home.

While my deliverance didn’t manifest in a snap, evidence of shift did begin to evidence almost immediately. With key relational sisters in the Lord praying for and standing with me against what I now believe was enemy pushback attack for the national prayer ministry initiative I’d connected with a few weeks prior. About 3 am the second morning of my redoubled “good faith fight”, I was awakened (it seemed) by the very presence of God himself on me to a degree I could feel his physical weight. I felt surrounded by the purity of Abba’s loving acceptance and embrace. I’ll never forget how uniquely special it felt feeling embraced by the presence of God

Without question, that divine manifestation alone was miraculous. However, with Holy Spirit’s visitation, all the negative feelings and associations suddenly dissipated – they were gone, just not there anymore! Moreover, I was hearing clearly in my spirit, Sue S–a singing as if just for me, a song she used to minister and teach the children to minister at little church we were both members many years ago. She didn’t have children yet, and I was still single. To an upbeat temp the words went like this:
1) Come on children, let’s sing.
Come on children let’s shout – let’s shout!
Come on children let’s sing – the goodness of the Lord!
2) Repeat the above
3) He has been my all-in-all.
He will never let me fall.
Repeat v1
I tell you, it was as though her wonderful almost angelic face and voice were right there over me in my bed, ministering to me personally in my spirit not only God’s love but communion with Holly Spirit as well through that song! Through this miraculous and marvelous visitation, Abba was letting me know that I am to minister to him like this going forward – singing, worshipping, praising and lifting him up as the answer to my every challenge and need. I decided to share it because it is a personal testimony yes, but, I also believe, one that is over the top encouraging and potentially inspiring to others as well. He longs to take us back to dwelling in his secret , most high place – under the shadow of his almighty wings.
