Translation from Spanish
Today is March 28, 2025. My name is Noelia Fernández, prophetess to the nations, mouthpiece of the Lord, called to instruct a people so they can prepare for what is coming in the last days, called to build up the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ and to lead the Lord’s people out of Egypt in these last days, when all things will be restored as they were at the beginning of the Christian Church, for the glory of the Lord.
The Lord’s people must prepare for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ in power and glory, bringing justice against all those who trampled on Him and on us, His children—those called to suffer with Him, if we are found worthy to endure those sufferings, just as the Son of God did, the only begotten of the Father, the One who is seated at the right hand of Almighty God, the God who can do all things, the God who moves everything, the One who speaks and all creation listens, the One who commands and to whom everything submits for the glory of His name.
At this time, the Lord wants to speak to you about the need, in these last days, for God’s children to create or find a place to dedicate themselves to being alone with God.
Speaking of Jesus, the Bible says:
[Luke 5:16] And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.
[Mark 1:35] And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.
[Matthew 14:23] And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.
[Luke 6:12] And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.
The key to your spiritual life is prayer alone with God. The secret to your success is prayer alone with God. The key to open every lock is prayer alone with your Creator.
God spoke to me last night and said: “Tell My people to build a place where we can meet alone, just them and Me.” And that building, first of all, must be on a spiritual level.
Find yourself a secret place, the Lord says to you, where only you and the Lord are present, and no one else. Invest time in the kingdom of heaven and in your own life alone with the Lord, and that will change everything around you and your perspective on both physical and spiritual things.
Raise up a strong tower in the spirit, where only your King is found, whom you go to visit alone, and that will change many things that trouble you today.
The Lord told me last night, in my secret room, that it’s not just that His people don’t seek Him, but that they don’t know how. They don’t know what a secret room is. They don’t know what a mountain of prayer means. They don’t know intimacy with God.
They don’t know what to do when they are alone with the Lord—those who actually are alone with the Lord—nor what it’s for, nor how that personal relationship with God develops.
His people don’t know how to seek Him; they also don’t dedicate themselves, or ask, or invest their time in the very foundation of their spiritual life, which is prayer alone with God.
If even Jesus, being the Son of God and having all the gifts and ministries fulfilled in Himself, would withdraw to places where there was no one else to seek God, how much more should we do it—we who are being perfected, but have not yet reached the stature of Christ Jesus in His fullness. The measure of Christ Jesus has not yet been completed in us.
If He, being the Son of God, would go off to deserted places to seek God, how much more should we do it—we who did not come from above as He did, who are imperfect, corruptible, and weak in the flesh.
Without those moments of constant prayer in the closeness of our Heavenly Father, through the connection of the Holy Spirit, the flesh starts to rule over us more than the Spirit. The soul raises its voice higher than the voice of the Holy Spirit in us. But if you truly decide to find a place and a time to be alone with God, many of these problems will be resolved.
The Lord said to me: My daughter, most of the problems My people have and that they bring to you would be resolved if they were truly diligent in seeking Me and praying in solitude. But many of them are stuck because they don’t have an intimate relationship with Me.
They need to be intimate, says the Lord. My children, you need to be intimate.
You know what this word means on a physical level. Those who are married understand what it is to be intimate, to truly know their spouse, and you know this is one of the pillars of marriage. That’s why the Word says husbands and wives shouldn’t withhold themselves from each other, unless it’s for a time of fasting and prayer.
Being intimate is a responsibility for married couples, speaking in physical terms, and it strengthens the relationship. When you’re intimate with your wife, the two truly become one flesh, and the result is life—procreation.
The Lord is telling you right now that if you don’t become intimate with Him first, you won’t be fertile or fruitful. You won’t bring life to the things that need to live in your life and in the lives of others. That only happens by truly being married to God, by having that regular intimacy with Him.
Daughter, says the Lord, you know very well how to listen to your husband, but you don’t know how to listen to Me, your spiritual Husband.
Son, says the Lord, you know very well how to seek your wife for physical intimacy, but you don’t know how to draw near and have intimacy with Me, your Creator.
The Holy Spirit is the link, the connection between God the Father and us, who have our feet on this earth. We are not of the world, but we are in the world, and we must learn to walk while keeping our connection with the Father, who is in heaven, through His Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is the One who gives us balance between our earthly life and our spiritual life. But if we don’t have a regular, genuine, and complete closeness with Him—in those moments we set apart to seek Him and find Him, to speak to Him but also to listen, in solitude, not with others—then we can go astray.
Because it’s only in that intimacy that we find the Father’s will for our lives, which is then confirmed through other trustworthy men and women around us. But it shouldn’t be the other way around: that we gather first and then seek Him alone.
Gathering with other believers is biblical, it’s necessary, because we are one body and all the members need each other. But if we don’t have a place of intimacy with the Lord, alone before anything else, seeking Him where there are no people, then our guide will be the voice of man and not the voice of God.
Children, says the Lord, it’s not Me who doesn’t seek you—it’s you who run from Me. It’s not Me who doesn’t want to speak to you—it’s you who don’t know how to hear My voice.
Moses received instructions on the mountain, alone with God. Jesus was called to go into the wilderness alone right after He received the Holy Spirit at His water baptism. All the great men and women mentioned in the Bible had intimacy with the Lord, and their first daily practice was to seek God in solitude. That was the key to their anointing, to maintaining the anointing, to the constant filling of the Holy Spirit, and to the success of their calling.
If you don’t learn to seek Me alone, continually, and to quiet the external voices so you seek Me first, says the Lord, you won’t move forward and you won’t overcome certain things that are troubling you, confusing you, causing you to doubt and lose your way.
I am your center, says Jesus. I am the One you must follow. But how will you follow Me if you don’t even know how to have a conversation with Me? How will you follow Me? How will you receive prophetic guidance for your lives, the prophetic map for each of you, if you don’t go up the mountain to pray?
The Lord is speaking metaphorically here, because some of you are confused and think the secret place to pray alone with God has to be a room, for example, since the Bible sometimes mentions the upper room.
While it’s good and right for that secret place to sometimes be a room, a bedroom, or an upper room, it can also be wherever you have available: a plaza, a lake, a river, a forest, a park, your car. Any place where there’s no one else and you can be alone—just you and God, with Jesus sitting in the passenger seat.
That secret place of prayer could be your bathroom, your closet, or the kitchen when everyone else is asleep. It could be the park at the corner of your street. It might be sitting under a tree you find empty. That secret place could even be your office, but only when everyone else has already left and you’re alone.
And the song of the Shunammite comes to mind. I don’t know if you know it, but there’s one that goes something like: “I have prepared a room for you. My beloved, my beloved, I am the Shunammite who says to you: Dwell here, my beloved, my beloved. Everything you see I have prepared for you.” I really love that song.
The Lord says: Prepare a place for Me, prepare a place so that the Holy Spirit can come and move around you and within you.
Those who are blessed to have a place truly dedicated to God, make the most of it.
The Lord asks you: What is the place you have prepared for Me so we can meet alone? What is My portion? What time have you set aside just for Me? Because that is not a waste of time, but an investment, says the Lord.
I (Noelia) know that many of you think that by doing this, you’re wasting your time. Some say they don’t have time, but time has been given to you so that you can manage it. You don’t understand that the time you set aside to be alone with God is actually an investment, like when you make a financial investment.
There are spiritual investments you’re not considering, says the Lord, and when you invest time for Me and spend time alone with Me, it’s not a waste; it’s an investment. It’s an investment in your spiritual and physical lives. Buy gold, says Jesus.
By investing that time alone with God, you’re buying gold. The Spirit is showing me that when we invest time to be alone with the Lord, we are buying gold and enriching ourselves spiritually.
[Revelation 3:18] I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
Now I hear the word “fasting.” Some of you fast, but you don’t pray. You fast, but you don’t seek the Lord during that fast, and so the fast only fulfills its purpose in part, God is telling me.
So I ask you, inspired by the Holy Spirit in this moment: Where do you seek the Father in solitude? What holy place have you dedicated to the Lord? How much time are you investing in the kingdom of heaven?
Because talking with your husband is not the same as intimacy. They’re two different levels of relationship. One is more superficial, and the other is much deeper. In one, you share something; in the other, you give something, God says to me.
Many of you talk with the Lord throughout the day, but you never have deep intimacy with Him alone.
Little children, says the Lord, you need to train yourselves diligently in this area, because blows are coming against all the children of God, and whoever is not standing on the Rock will fall. And I am the Rock. But many of you do not truly know Me as you should, because you do not seek Me, you do not ask Me, you do not listen to Me, you do not strengthen yourselves in solitude with Me.
Jesus came out completely strengthened from those times of prayer alone, in the desert or on the mountain. His vessel was filled in that solitude so that afterward He not only had enough for Himself, but also to give to others.
You want anointing, and you have certainly received it, says the Lord, but you don’t know how to keep it because you don’t seek Me in solitude. It’s through prayer, worship, and that intimacy between us that the anointing is renewed daily. You haven’t understood the importance of being alone with Me.
Moses received the pattern for the tabernacle alone. You want to receive the pattern for your lives, to know your calling, but you don’t want to be alone with Me.
I (Noelia) see a wall in front of many of you that you need to break through. It’s the wall of laziness, the wall of sloth, the wall of unbelief, the wall of lack of diligence, of carelessness.
Tear down that wall, says the Lord, just as I told Ezekiel to dig through the wall. And after he dug through it, he was able to enter the rooms of the temple and see what the elders were doing.
The Lord revealed to Ezekiel what the elders were doing, and when Ezekiel obeyed and dug through the wall, he reached the place where God wanted to show him something. But Ezekiel had to first obey what the Spirit of God was telling him to do.
You must dig deep and break through every wall until you reach and find that most holy place with Me, says the Lord.
[Ezekiel 8:8] Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I had digged in the wall, behold a door.
I am behind that door, says Jesus, but many of you don’t dig until you reach the door. You don’t break down the barriers that are keeping you from that door. And even some who have reached the door do not knock, says the Lord. So it is not opened to them.
Little children, learn to seek Me, says the Lord. I am there at the door, waiting to reveal to you everything I have prepared for your lives. There is more I want to tell you. There is more, so much more that your eyes have not yet seen, that I long to show you.
There are signs I place along your paths for you to follow, so you can find the way to that door of revelation. But you must move and stop being lazy and indulgent, stop getting distracted by everything that passes before your eyes.
[Revelation 3:20] Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
Many of you run to people with your doubts and questions, instead of coming to Me first, to the source of every answer, the source of all truth and solution.
That’s why sometimes I don’t answer you through anyone, says the Lord, because I am waiting, waiting, hoping you’ll realize that I’m waiting for you to come to Me first.
Don’t be stubborn or hard-headed. Stop banging your head against the wall. People can make mistakes, but I don’t.
I (Noelia) see someone setting up a little space, because they do have a place in their home. They lay down a small rug, a cushion, a soft light, their Bible open beside them, quiet worship music playing.
This is how a prophetic atmosphere is created, and the Holy Spirit comes and begins to move in that place because He feels welcome, because it’s as if we’re inviting Him with this attitude and opening the door for Him to come in, saying, “Come, Holy Spirit, move in this place that’s dedicated to You.”
The Lord is showing me that the Church has lost this habit.
We don’t know how to create an atmosphere, to prepare the place, the upper room, spiritually speaking, even if it’s not physically high. The Church has lost the habit of preparing a place to invite the Holy Spirit of God in solitude. And this is the main reason why it is in such poor condition, so twisted, so fallen, so lost.
The Church has forgotten intimacy with God and given that place to people, to pastors, to mentors. This isn’t wrong, but it’s not the foundation, and it’s not the first thing.
I see someone who sometimes lights a candle, but only for a soft light, nothing more than that, and as a symbol of keeping the Holy Spirit always burning, to light up our lives, metaphorically speaking.
You have to learn to find a quiet place, says the Lord, a place where you can be still and calm your souls, quiet your inner voice, so that the voice of the Holy Spirit of God can sound clearer within you. It must be a place where you can find a certain level of silence. If it can’t be total silence, then let it be partial silence.
For some of you, it’s truly very difficult to find a place where there’s complete silence so you can seek God alone, pray, and talk with Him. But God says you must be the ones to take the initiative to find the quietest place possible, and He will help you along the way. He will raise His voice within you when He sees that you’ve put forth effort in this area.
Seek Me, says the Lord, and I will take care of the rest of your problems.
Many of you want to be My friends, says God, but how can you be My friends if you don’t know anything about Me? With a friend, you share many things and you spend time together. You get to know a friend—you don’t remain strangers.
Many of you wish I would call you friends, as I did with Abraham. But I called Abraham My friend because I could count on him, says Jesus. He knew Me, and I knew him. We spent time together. We were close.
Abraham set himself apart to talk with Me, to ask Me questions and listen for My answers, to know Me more and to love Me, says the Lord.
I don’t call just anyone a friend, only those who truly trust in Me and in whom I can trust. That trust is built when you’re alone with Me, because there are secrets I want to share with you—things that are only revealed when two are alone. Things I want to share with you, and just for you.
That’s why it’s called the secret place, that’s why it’s called the secret room: because it’s hidden from everyone else, and no one else has access to enter.
Right now, many of you realize you don’t have this part in your spiritual lives. This area was never revealed to you. Or maybe, in your congregations, you were never encouraged to develop this intimacy, this habit of being alone with God.
Yet what I am saying by the Holy Spirit isn’t something new, but something spoken of many times in the Bible.
Being alone with God is the foundation of everything, says the Lord. It’s not just necessary—it’s indispensable. Whether you’re doing well or badly, happy or sad, healthy or sick, entering that most holy place must never be neglected.
There you’ll receive strength when you’re weak. There you’ll find bread when you’re hungry. There you’ll be filled with the Holy Spirit when you feel dry. There you’ll find answers to the questions in your heart. There you’ll receive the inspiration and guidance you’re seeking. There you’ll receive ideas that never came to you before.
There your chains will be broken and you’ll find your fullness. There, in secret with your Heavenly Father, you’ll discover your true identity. There the Lord will give you words to speak to others. There you’ll receive what you’re meant to impart in public.
There you’ll find the guidance you’re searching for: direction, confirmation, or correction for what you’re thinking of doing.
My child, I am calling you, says the Lord. I am raising the trumpets in this hour to sound them loudly in your ears so you’ll answer this call.
I am calling My army to gather for the battle of the end times. But anyone who lacks intimacy with Me in secret won’t recognize the sound of the shofar.
I am whistling to many birds, says God, that they might come from the four winds to meet with the King, with the Heavenly Father who dwells in the heavens. But many cannot hear the whistle because they are not trained to hear My voice.
The New Testament says the Holy Spirit will reveal all things. But many of you look to men for revelation instead of going to the source of revelation, which is the Holy Spirit of God.
Others think they’re not worthy of that level of friendship with God, but these are lies from the devil that you’ve believed.
God says: I whistle to gather you, that you may stand before My throne.
Today I blow the whistle to call the athletes to come before Me and receive instructions, just as a coach blows the whistle to gather his team, and they draw near so he can tell them what they must do, what the tactics and strategies are for the game at hand.
[Zechariah 10:8] I will hiss for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them: and they shall increase as they have increased.
Just as I am blowing the whistle in the spirit for the Jews to come out of the lands where I scattered them because of their rebellion, to gather them in the land of Israel for the final battle before the Desire of Nations (the Messiah) comes, so today I am calling My people to the spiritual battle of the last days.
I am whistling to many of you, says the Lord, calling all the birds from every nation on earth to gather before Me—and you are those birds.
But many are distracted all day, or most of the day, with the things of this world: watching TV, scrolling through phones and social media, talking with others, working non-stop to climb the career ladder, chasing after every goal but Me—and you won’t hear that whistle.
It’s not that I’m not whistling or not calling you, but there are other noises drowning Me out.
Turn everything off when you come to seek Me, says the Lord. Turn off your phone, turn off the TV, turn off the radio. Shut the doors and windows tight. Isolate yourselves as much as you can. Then, little by little, the water of the Spirit will begin to make its sounds. Little by little, your ears will begin to open.
The water will start to flow little by little, like when you slowly open a faucet: at first just a few drops, scattered and rare, until the faucet opens more and more and the water runs freely. That’s how it will be, by faith, for faith comes by hearing.
Little children, seek Me, says the Lord. Seek Me. I want to give you what you’re asking for, but I won’t give it to you through someone else, when what I desire is for you to look to Me. Talk to Me, for I am not deaf; I am listening to you. And then, be silent, so you can hear what I have to say—the promptings I’ll give you through the Holy Spirit.
For I speak to you in different ways: to some with words, to others with images, to others with sensations. I even use the senses of the body to speak to you.
Don’t be unbelieving like Thomas, for blessed is the one who believed without seeing Me.
[John 20:29] Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
Many of you are asking for signs so that you’ll believe it’s worth making a habit of the secret place of prayer. But those who ask for signs because of unbelief will not receive them, because their unbelief is what keeps them from receiving signs.
It’s by faith that you see what cannot be seen. It’s by faith that closed doors are opened, that miracles happen, and healings take place. It’s by faith that spiritual gifts are practiced, and it’s by faith that you learn to hear God’s voice in different ways.
For the unbelieving, many times it’s not that I don’t speak to them, says the Lord, but their unbelief blocks their ears. It’s like a spiritual obstacle that keeps them from hearing what I’m saying. Unbelief is like a plug in the ears, keeping a person from hearing God.
The Holy Spirit is showing me that some of you are saying, “Yes, but what do I do when I’m alone with God? What am I supposed to do? What are the steps I need to follow?” You’re looking for a guide, some practical direction, like a method or a set of rules.
And God says to you: Pour out your heart before Me. Tell Me how you are. Share your personal matters, your worries, your fears, and your desires. Tell Me how you’re feeling, who you’re thinking about.
On the other hand, it’s also necessary to give thanks in solitude with the Lord: thank Him for everything you’re grateful for; pour out your heart in gratitude before God, alone.
This is the opposite of grieving the Holy Spirit of God, because the Holy Spirit comes in greater measure to those who are grateful and who express it out loud, who speak it with their mouths and their words.
Another thing you need to do when you’re alone with God is praise Him. Put on music that inspires you, that moves you, that feels like a gentle touch to your soul, and worship the Lord in that solitude.
Learn to worship God when you’re alone, because the Spirit is showing me that many of you know how to praise God when you gather together. You enjoy those moments and the presence of the Holy Spirit, but you don’t know how to worship God by yourself, or even how to praise Him alone. You don’t put on music, you don’t sing to Him, you don’t dance when you’re alone.
God wants worshipers in spirit and in truth, not just when you’re with others, but first and foremost, when you’re alone.
If it’s hard for you to enter into intimacy with God and pray alone, if you get distracted, then the advice is to praise God, put on worship music. That will help you step through that door of intimacy with the Lord, into that room, into the most holy place, so your spirit and the atmosphere are prepared for what comes next, God is showing me.
There can also be a time set aside for the desires of your heart, for interceding for others, for asking the Lord as you should.
But it’s not just about talking; it’s also about being silent and listening to the Lord. It’s about understanding what the Holy Spirit wants to say to us in different ways in that solitude. Just like in a conversation where one person speaks and the other responds, the secret room isn’t just about going in and talking to God. It’s also about talking with Him and waiting for Him to speak, or simply sharing moments of silence with God, quieting your soul, learning to be still.
It’s also about receiving God’s peace and asking the Lord to fill you again.
Having a secret room shapes your character, God is showing me, because in those moments of solitude with Him, you find the balance between your daily tasks and your spiritual life. Many of you have a lot going on, and in the middle of the day’s rush you need to find that calm, that center, that peace where the storm is stilled.
[Psalms 37:7] Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: Fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
There’s a time to speak and a time to be silent in that secret room. There’s a time to smile and a time to cry. That’s where you can pour it all out. There can be, and there must be, a time to lay everything before the Lord.
Tell Him, first of all, how you feel, and if you need to, cry and let your tears fall before Him, so He can be the one to dry your tears, so He can be the one to heal you. He must be the first doctor you go to, not a psychologist. Your first couch shouldn’t be with a psychologist, but with God.
He’s listening to you more than any psychologist ever could, and He knows how to heal you better than any doctor. But instead of going to Him, the perfect doctor, many of you turn to traditional medicine first.
Build this habit, says the Lord, practice it, develop it, and you’ll grow in this area. Maybe at first, for those who aren’t used to it, it won’t be easy, but over time you’ll become experts at being alone with Me, just like anything you have to practice until you become a master.
Become masters at seeking intimacy with Me, says the Lord. Become masters of silence. Don’t let anyone steal your time on the mountain of prayer. Don’t let anyone accuse you or forbid you from coming alone to the King. Have faith, says the Lord, because the secrets you’re asking Me to reveal are there, in that place of private prayer.
A very good way to train your focus is to go into a dark prayer room at night and be alone with the Lord in the darkness, with the lights off.
[1 Kings 8:12] Then spake Solomon, The LORD said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
God is giving you many keys for this prayer room. Write them down, put them into practice, and you’ll see how things start to turn around from the way they were going.
God says to study intimacy with Him in the Word. Confusion will leave in the solitude with God, the Lord is showing me. That’s where you’ll find stability.
You have to take every thought captive that rises up against the Lord, that stands contrary to who God is, to His Word and His character. You need self-control in your mind when you go alone to seek the Lord. You must trample anxiety underfoot, that anxiety that tries to tempt us when we want to be alone with God.
It doesn’t matter what posture you take: kneeling, standing, sitting, lying flat on the floor, face down or face up… all of it is allowed.
Talking with God throughout the day is good, but it’s not the same as being completely alone in a place with God. It’s just not the same.
Jesus spoke with God while He was with the disciples or while He was doing other things, but He still went off alone to the mountain or the wilderness to seek God in solitude.
You have to develop self-control in your mind and learn to quiet your thoughts. It’s hard, but it can be done. If you stay silent for a few minutes and don’t hear anything, you have to keep at it—you have to keep seeking. Even that silence ministers to you.
Sometimes you can’t hear Him, but God still answers later in the day. Sometimes the Lord doesn’t answer while we’re in the secret place with Him, but He hears those prayers and later guides us anyway, even if we don’t realize it.
Don’t forget that God also speaks through your conscience. Sometimes your conscience tells you what you should or shouldn’t do, what’s right and what’s wrong, because God’s laws are written on our hearts.
God doesn’t always answer with audible words, images, dreams, or visions. But He does speak through your conscience. He still speaks. He still answers.
He also answers through the Bible. Sometimes we’re in our secret prayer room, and maybe God doesn’t answer right then. But later, when we’re reading the Bible, a verse appears that gives us the answer, and it’s because we sought Him in prayer.
He answers in many ways. You don’t always have to hear Him audibly, whether inside or outside. He speaks in many ways to all His sheep, and His sheep know His voice and follow Him.
God wants to be sought, wants to be found, wants to be discovered. He understands every one of your situations.
Anoint the place where you pray, the Holy Spirit is showing me. If you have a set place, anoint it with oil in the name of Jesus.
If you have a problem, if you’ve sinned, gotten angry, lost your temper—whatever it is—repent and go to the secret place. But don’t let a week go by without going to the secret place. Repent and be quick to make things right.
[1 John 1:9] If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Use this truth, repent, and go pray. But don’t just stay there.
Some of you think it’s a burden to seek the Lord in solitude and spend hours with Him, but you don’t realize that this is what will bring you freedom, that it’s the key to healing and deliverance.
Many things happen when you go into the secret room: demons leave, angels minister in that place, the fire rises, and the stagnant water begins to flow. There are so many things you don’t see, and you don’t even need to see, because it all has to be by faith.
Some of you say, “If I don’t feel God’s presence in the secret place, then what’s the point?” But remember, it’s by faith, not by sight. You might feel God’s presence, or you might not.
[Genesis 28:16] And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not.
Many times you go to that place alone with God and you don’t realize that God is with you, but you didn’t need to feel it or see it—just have the certainty in your heart that it’s true.
Some of you fast, the Spirit of God is showing me, but you don’t pray when you fast. It’s like fifty-fifty. There’s no fast without prayer that’s truly effective. Many times the Word says, “fasting and prayer.” The two go hand in hand.
Fasting is sustained through prayer, because when you pray, you’re feeding your spirit, and then you even feel less hungry in your body. You’ll notice that if you fast but don’t pray, it’ll be harder, because you’re more in the flesh and less in the Spirit, less in God’s presence.
To finish, I assure you that if you learn to make the secret place a habit, it will mark a turning point in your attitude, in the guidance you receive, in your strength, in your peace, in your security, and in your stability with the Lord.
Many become lukewarm or drift away from the faith because they don’t have a secret place. The secret place is the key to remaining strong and enduring to the end. Without it, without a real relationship with Jesus, many won’t be able to stand; they’ll fall into the final deception and receive the mark of the beast. And when the time comes, Jesus will say to them, “I never knew you,” because it’s in the secret place that you truly come to know Him.
So remember this. Don’t take it lightly. Make it a priority. If you’ve neglected it for a while, come back. Return, be persistent, and raise the banner for Christ in that place.
The Lord is showing me now that many of you are leaving today with your bellies full, recharged, your spirits filled with the water of the Holy Spirit. Glory to God!
