The Secret Place - Part 3
Main Point: Those who have a secret place are satisfied because we were created to be in close relationship with God the creator of all things.
Why was mankind created?
Colossians 1:6. For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
Revelations 4:11. The Lord is worthy to receive glory and honor and for His pleasure God has created man
Pastor’s Thoughts:
Diligently seek him in the secret place:
What do you do in the secret place?

Revelations 4:11. The Lord is worthy to receive glory and honor and for His pleasure God has created man
- You were created for God and you will not have true joy and peace until you surrender to that.
- Galatians 2:20. I have been crucified with Christ. I no longer live but Christ lives in me.
Pastor’s Thoughts:
- In these scriptures we just read: God’s word is clear that we are created for Him and for his pleasure we were created.
- We were also created to praise and glorify and to be bring Glory to God.
- The closer you are to God the more fulfilled and satisfied you are because you are living out the reason you were created.
- The closer you are to God the more He showers blessings upon your life
- Hebrews 11:6. God is a rewarded of those who diligently seek him.
Diligently seek him in the secret place:
- A place where only you and God abide
- Your carnal sinful nature does not want anything to do with the secret place with God.
- Adam and Eve had a secret place with God but sin destroyed it
- Because Jesus has conquered sin and death, we all have access to a secret place with God
- We were all created to have a secret place with God.
What do you do in the secret place?
- You praise and worship God for what he has done and who He is (creator of all whose mercy is great)
- You ask God to fill you with His Holy Spirit and empower to love and forgive others
- You surrender your will to God’s will
- You petition God with your request (let your request be made known to God)
- You let God know how you feel (God can handle it when you’re not happy)
- You let God know you trust him and you know he will make good all that the enemy means for evil against you.
Pastor’s Thoughts:
- If you have a secret place and discuss these things you will never be the same
- Your love for God will grow deeper and deeper
- You will begin to weep when you even think about how good God is.
