“In Christ”
Reference: Psalms Chapter 91
This is the secret place of God.
Solomon’s temple had three parts. There was the Outer Court, the Holy Place, and the Holy of Holies.
God dwelled in the Holy of Holies. This is where the High Priest was allowed once a year.
The Believer can live in one of the three places. The Believer that lives in the Outer Court will have to depend on the sunlight. As great as the sunlight is, there are days that the sun doesn’t shine as bright. That means, this Believer will have some great and not so great days. Their Christian life is up and down.
The Believer who lives in the Holy Place will have to depend on the continuous burning Lamp.
Leviticus 24:2-4 “Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamps to burn continually. [3] Without the vail of the testimony, in the tabernacle of the congregation, shall Aaron order it from the evening unto the morning before the LORD continually: it shall be a statute for ever in your generations. [4] He shall order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before the LORD continually.”
Yet, this Lamp like every lamp requires trimming every now and then.
Matthew 25:7-8 “Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. [8] And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.”
The Believer who lives in the Holy Place will have many bright days butt other days where the Lamp has to be trimmed.
The Believer who lives in the Holy of Holies, the Secret Place of God does not depend on the sunlight or the burning candlesticks from lamp-stands but on the constant Shekinah Light of God. This is the Believer who is hidden in Christ in His life, crucifixion, death, burial, resurrection, ascension, reigning in Heavenly places with Him, and now one with Him in the Person of the Holy Spirit.
Dwelling in the Secret Place of God.
The Psalmist writes.
Let’s read:
Psalm 91:1 “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.”
Two things come together to form a shadow. Light and darkness. They meets to form a shadow.
In the Secret Place, the Light of God meets the darkness of man, causing a shadow.
The Psalmist writes that he walked in the valley of the shadow of death, indicating death is only a shadow.
Death is the beginning of life for the Believer. The Believer is simply coming out of this dark world into His marvelous light, hence the shadow of death.
We continue our reading:
Psalm 91:2 “I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.”
in Christ is the true Believer’s refuge, fortress, and trust.
We continue our reading:
Psalm 91:3 “Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.”
In the Secret Place, the Believer is ALREADY delivered from the snares of the Fowler (the Devil).
We continue our reading:
Psalm 91:4 “He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.”
In the Secret Place is the Believer covered by the Wings of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit revealing truth continually to the Believer.
We continue our reading:
Psalm 91:5-8 “Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; [6] Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. [7] A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. [8] Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.”
There is no fear in the Secret Place. All fear, doubt, and unbelief are out of the window.
We conclude our reading:
Psalm 91:9-16 “Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; [10] There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. [11] For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. [12] They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. [13] Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. [14] Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. [15] He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. [16] With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.”
This is the position of the true believer in Christ.
Enter into the Secret Place through the torn veil. BELIEVE and confess Christ the Secret Place as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. Shut in with God, in a Secret Place, in Christ!
