I am currently on probation to qualify for my next position with Christ. You are too. Probation is the process or period of testing or observing the character or abilities of a person in a certain role. As we spend time in the Secret Place, our character is strengthened and our abilities are honed so that we can accept the next position requiring us to walk in greater Spiritual maturity. FATHER will promote us and HE will open those doors at the right time. We need not force anything.
As we spiritually mature, we begin to look more and more like Jesus, Our Elder Brother. After all, we have the same FATHER. We have been given the same ministry as Jesus, reconcile men unto Him.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2 Corinthians chapter 5:
17 Now, if anyone is enfolded into Christ, he has become an entirely new creation. All that is related to the old order has vanished. Behold, everything is fresh and new. 18 And God has made all things new, and reconciled us to himself, and given us the ministry of reconciling others to God. 19 In other words, it was through the Anointed One that God was shepherding the world, not even keeping records of their transgressions, and he has entrusted to us the ministry of opening the door of reconciliation to God. 20 We are ambassadors of the Anointed One who carry the message of Christ to the world, as though God were tenderly pleading with them directly through our lips. So we tenderly plead with you on Christ’s behalf, “Turn back to God and be reconciled to him.”
Let us not be reluctant to minister to sinners. As each of us opens our hearts to this ministry, The Holy Spirit will draw men and women to us to be reconciled to HIM.
As you and I move to the higher realm, the limitations of the physical realm no longer apply to us. The higher realm operates under a higher set of laws which supersede the physical laws we have had to submit to in the past. Time is not an issue in the Spiritual realm and we will not be limited to time as we spend more time walking in the higher realm.
Our bodies will respond to this higher realm as well. There are no limitations in the eternal realm and as we consistently walk in this higher realm, we will experience our walk without limitation. We must not let the adversary talk us out of this pursuit. He knows the ramification of those who embrace this walk. His kingdom suffers loss and destruction by those who walk according to The Holy Spirit. They will destroy the works of the devil just as Jesus did in His earthly ministry.
When I pray in THE SPIRIT, my spirit overthrows my soul and forces it into submission. My soul becomes the servant it was meant to be. There is a sifting effect that removes all the hurt, words spoken against me, traumatic experiences, my past acts contrary to The Word, and anything else which would hinder my full maturity.
Psalm 91 was written from the cleft of the rock. It is recorded by The Holy Spirit in Exodus chapter 33:
14 And He said, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”
15 Then he said to Him, “If Your Presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here. 16 For how then will it be known that Your people and I have found grace in Your sight, except You go with us? So we shall be separate, Your people and I, from all the people who are upon the face of the earth.”
17 So the LORD said to Moses, “I will also do this thing that you have spoken; for you have found grace in My sight, and I know you by name.”
18 And he said, “Please, show me Your glory.”
19 Then He said, “I will make all My goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.” 20 But He said, “You cannot see My face; for no man shall see Me, and live.” 21 And the LORD said, “Here is a place by Me, and you shall stand on the rock. 22 So it shall be, while My glory passes by, that I will put you in the cleft of the rock, and will cover you with My hand while I pass by.
In that instant, Moses received the revelation found in the Secret Place which allowed him to continue in his calling. The Secret Place is where we experience FATHER’S presence and HIS goodness.
When our probation is completed, we move to the higher realm where the impossible becomes possible. Our angels become more apparent in their specific missions on our behalf. My wife and I know this to be a reality. Our five year old grandson was awakened by one of our angels while he was spending the night. He told us of the encounter the next morning at breakfast and how the angel spoke to him without moving his lips. This is just one example of what to expect as you dwell in the Secret Place.
Spiritual encounters in the Secret Place create urgency. They also create a deeper passion that expresses itself in your speech and actions. We begin to understand the Heart of GOD is FATHER, the Face of GOD is Jesus, and the Voice of GOD is The Holy Spirit. We are given full access to HIS Voice in the Secret Place. Let us proceed beyond “probation”.
