The Holy Spirit is not merely a mystical presence but the very breath, wisdom, and power of God working in and through believers. Isaiah 11:2 offers one of the clearest biblical outlines of the Holy Spirit's attributes, describing seven distinct manifestations—often called the seven powers or spirits of the Holy Spirit. These powers were fully embodied in Jesus Christ and are given to believers to live godly and victorious lives. Isaiah 11:2 (KJV) " And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord. " Let’s look at each power in detail: 1. The Spirit of the Lord This is the foundational presence of the Holy Spirit—the sovereign power of God that rests upon a person for divine assignment. It represents God’s anointing, approval, and presence. ...
The "secret place" of the Most High, as described in Psalm 91:1, is not just a physical location but a spiritual posture of intimacy with God. To dwell in the secret place means to abide continually in God's presence, under His protection and guidance. It is a place of refuge, power, and revelation.
Here are powerful prayer points to help you abide in that secret place daily:
1. Lord, draw me closer to Your secret place
"He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty." – Psalm 91:1
Prayer:
Father, draw my heart into deeper intimacy with You. Let me not just visit but dwell in Your secret place. Teach me to remain connected to You through constant fellowship.
2. Remove every distraction that keeps me from You
"Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth." – Colossians 3:2
Prayer:
Lord, silence every distraction and noise pulling me away from Your presence. Give me focus, discipline, and a desire to spend quality time with You above all else.
3. Help me build a lifestyle of prayer and worship
"But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet... and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly." – Matthew 6:6
Prayer:
Holy Spirit, help me to consistently build an altar of prayer in my life. Let my secret place be filled with worship, thanksgiving, and deep communion with You.
4. Reveal hidden things to me in the secret place
"Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not." – Jeremiah 33:3
Prayer:
Father, as I seek You in the secret place, open my spiritual eyes. Reveal mysteries, give me direction, and show me Your will for my life.
5. Let Your shadow protect me from every evil
"Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence." – Psalm 91:3
Prayer:
Lord, I take refuge under Your shadow. Cover me from danger, disease, fear, and every plot of the enemy. You are my fortress and hiding place.
6. Let the secret place be where I am strengthened
"He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness." – Psalm 23:3
Prayer:
Lord, restore my soul whenever I enter Your presence. Let my times alone with You be a source of refreshing, healing, and strength.
7. Birth holiness and consecration in me
"Present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy... which is your reasonable service." – Romans 12:1
Prayer:
As I abide with You, cleanse me. Make me holy, set apart, and pleasing to You. Let my life reflect Your glory.
8. Let me never leave Your presence
"Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you." – James 4:8
Prayer:
Father, let my heart stay near to You at all times. May I never grow cold or distant from Your presence. Keep me hidden in You always.
Dwelling in the secret place is a daily decision—a spiritual discipline that transforms. As you pray these points, may the Lord draw you nearer and shelter you under His wings.
