HIDDENNESS

There are secret things that belong to the LORD our God, but the revealed things belong to us and our descendants forever, so that we may obey these words of the law. (Deuteronomy 29:29)

Each of us must go through a hidden preparation period in which we learn how to walk in compassion. As in any process, we have to take "baby steps" at first. It is the path of hiddenness that prepares you to be presented before man.

And I will give you treasures hidden in the darkness – secret riches. I will do this so you may know that I am the LORD, the God of Israel , the one who calls you by name. (Isaiah 45:3)

What is this hiddenness all about? Well the Word tells us that the Lord gives us secrets in hidden places. In the shelter of the Almighty is that place where just you and the Lord reside. It is where He performs His surgery on us. He continues to touch our minds, bodies, and soul rearranging and transforming us so we can become that perfected being. As those places of insignificance, unworthiness, shame, and hurt are healed we are able to reach others with His compassion and LOVE. There is no secret other than to get alone with your thoughts, get alone with the living Word and allow the Spirit to do the surgery! I have, I am, and I will always continue to do so. How about you?

We prepare ourselves by applying the Blood of the Lamb and the Grace the Father is bestowing upon us! That Grace is the force that empowers us to leap from faith to faith. It does not take great faith to accomplish great victories in God. It takes that little faith of ours and when we act upon it, He sends His GRACE!

But each of us was given grace according to the measure of Christ's gift. (Ephesians 4:7 Revised Standard)

May this find you in His embrace resting in His presence!
