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. ...
Here are key Bible scriptures that reference the secret place of God—a concept that speaks of intimacy, safety, and communion with God, often through prayer, worship, and obedience:
1. Psalm 91:1-2 (NKJV)
"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, 'He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in Him I will trust.'"
● Meaning: The secret place is a place of safety and intimate fellowship with God. It's where divine protection and peace are found.
2. Psalm 27:5 (KJV)
"For in the time of trouble, he shall hide me in his pavilion:
in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me;
he shall set me up upon a rock."
● Meaning: God's secret place is a refuge from trouble. It's a spiritual shelter where we are hidden and preserved.
3. Matthew 6:6 (NKJV)
"But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly."
● Meaning: Jesus emphasized private communion with God. The "secret place" here is both literal (a private room) and spiritual (intimacy with God).
4. Psalm 31:20 (NKJV)
"You shall hide them in the secret place of Your presence
From the plots of man;
You shall keep them secretly in a pavilion
From the strife of tongues."
● Meaning: The presence of God is a secret place of protection against slander, gossip, and attacks.
5. Colossians 3:3 (KJV)
"For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God."
● Meaning: Spiritually, our true life is hidden and secure in Christ, representing the ultimate secret place.
6. Isaiah 45:3 (NKJV)
"I will give you the treasures of darkness
And hidden riches of secret places,
That you may know that I, the Lord,
Who calls you by your name,
Am the God of Israel."
● Meaning: God reveals deep, hidden truths to those who seek Him—both spiritually and practically.
7. Exodus 33:22 (KJV)
"And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:"
● Meaning: God's secret place can also be seen as His divine covering—like how Moses was hidden in the rock.
