The Secret Atmosphere

October 09, 2010 Prep Year

 

INTRODUCTION:

We Know that the enemy came to steal, kill and destroy, but cannot touch us unless we open ourselves a door where he is going to be able to go through:

Ecclesiastes 10: 8 who makes a pit shall fall into it, and whom thou has broken the fence, a serpent shall bite him.

But we also know that things were in the past generations and often know what they were and the devil, which has a record of it, he knows that, and takes advantage of it to bother us:

2 Kings 4:1 One of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried to Elisha saying, "Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the Lord. But the creditor has come to take my two sons as slaves.

There are many people, and within those Christians, who are living under the bondage of the creditor, because their parents did something wrong and even though they have died, the record remains in force, so they have persecution in which only God can liberate them.

There is an atmosphere that God gives us as his children, so that we are invisible to the attack from the darkness.

Psalm 91:1-4 who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2- I will say to the Lord, my refuge and my fortress, my God, I will trust. 3- For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. 4- He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; shield and rampart is his faithfulness.

When you get into the shelter (which also translates as secret), one finds 3 things:

1. Refuge. This is for those who are persecuted.
   
2. Shield. The word shield in accordance Strong, from the Hebrew, is also defined as LARGE SHIELD, LIKE TO KEEP THEIR BARBED. There's an enemy who wants to destroy lives, BUT THERE IS A GOD ALMIGHTY who beat him and want to keep on doing it for us.
   
3. Bulwark. According to the DRAE dictionary, a bulwark is a building within a fortification wall base.
   

Therefore, when you get in to the dimension of God's secret, if they seek you, you have place to go, if you are attacked, you have those who defend you, and whether to make war, they protect you and teach you how to fight.

The key is in verse 1:

Psalm 91:1 who dwells in the shelter of the Most High…

The word wrap in Hebrew is OSTDS= secret

The key to entering the shelter, shield and bulwark is to get into the secret of God.

That is, there is a spiritual atmosphere to which we need to get us and is the OSTDS of GOD.

Here especially the development of theme, how do I get into the secret atmosphere of God, where there is no devil that can touch me and where I can fight if there is any attack, knowing that I will not be hurt?

Psalms 27:4-5 one thing I've asked to the Lord, and that will I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in his temple. 5-For in the day of trouble He will hide me in His pavilion: in the secret of his tent He will hide me, He will set me on a rock in high.

Note that two are the previous steps to get the secret:

1. Living in his home, Hebrew word Bayit which means family. This means that we are part of that family where God likes to be.
   
2. Reflecting on his temple. A Hebrew word meaning jeikál, that means large public building, palace. This means congregate in a place we call church.
   
3. Then, he hides us in his secret tent, which means he gets us to a spiritual dimension such that MAKES US INVISIBLE TO THE EVIL.
   

Following Instruction:

Psalm 139:15 Mi body is not hidden from you, when I was made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth.

You get into the secret when you let God form you up. When in these times of pain is not looking to none other than God, but let it work for Him.

Following Key:

JOY GETS YOU INTO THE SECRET

Philippians 4:11-12 Not that I speak in need, for I have learned to be content whatever my situation. 12- I know how to live in poverty, and I know how to live in prosperity, in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, of having abundance a suffering need.

You go into the secret place when you learn to be happy with what you have at all times, whether rich or it is limited.

Next key to enter into his secret:

 

THE SILENT ALMS

Matthew 6:3-4 But thou, when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what your right hand does. 4- So that your alms may be in secret: and Thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

Alms are for the poor, and should be given without being so telling others, which becomes a key to get in to the secret of God. There, you get revelation of how to prosper, for God blesses a cheerful giver, who is not advertising what he does.

PRAYER IS THE KEY TO THE SECRET

Matthew: 6: 6-7 But when you pray, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut the door, pray to thy Father in secret and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. 7- And when you pray, do not use meaningless repetition as the Gentiles, for they think that will be heard for their much speaking.

Note that to get into the Seter of God, we must get into the room (not physical) but to create a spiritual atmosphere seeking God, then you have to close the doors (ie if any sin or lack of forgiveness is, it must be removed) then Get into the secret but not speak falsehood, but to talk to the God of Heavens, bless it and ask Him for His kingdom in your life.

FASTING GETS YOU INTO THE SECRET

Matthew 6:16-18 and when you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces to show men they are fasting. Truly, I say that they have received their reward. 17- But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, 18- so man cannot see that you're fasting, but unto thy Father in secret: and thy Father which seeth in the secret shall reward thee openly.

The refrain, not only food, but the things we like, even talking earthly support, is a key to get into the secret, but when YOU DO THAT WITHOUT BEING TELLING THE OTHERS BUT WITH THE PURPOSE OF SEEKING HIM.

SERVE GOD TO BE SEEN BY HIM, NOT FOR MEN

John 7:3-4 so His brothers said to Him: Out of here, and go to Judea so that your disciples may see the work you do. 4- Because nobody does anything in secret when he seeks to be known publicly. If you do these things, show yourself to the world.

One who does something in the work of God, (like praise), but for people to see, WONT BE ABLE TO GET IN TO THE SECRET OF GOD, by the intention of his heart.

So he says next:

John 7:10 but when his brothers went to the feast, then He also went up, not openly but in secret.

WAITING FOR THE CALLING THROUGH YOUR COVERAGE

You go into the secret when you wait the TIME OF THE CALLING THROUGH YOUR BIG BROTHER:

John 11:28-29 and having said this, he went and called her sister Mary, saying quietly: The Teacher is here, and he calls you. 29- As soon as she heard it, she rose quickly and went to Him

BEING UNDER COVERAGE GETS YOU INTO THE SECRET

Judges 16:8 -9 the lords of the Philistines brought her seven fresh cords that had not been dried, and Delilah bound him with them. 9- And she had men lying in wait in an inner room. Then she said: Samson, the Philistines are upon you! But he snapped the ropes as a thread of tow breaks when it touches fire. And he did not discover the secret of its strength.

Judges 16:17 He revealed, then, all he had in his heart, saying: it never happened shave my head, because I have been a Nazarite to God from my mother's womb. If you cut my hair, my strength will leave me and I become weak and be like any other man.

Definitely long hair, it's talking about coverage. Samson knew that to get into the secret of God where they give you strength, where they give you anointing IS BEING COVERED.

There are ties as described in verse 8, where, through the prayer of the pastor that covers you, those ties will be broken.

The coverage is not a slogan or a fad business, COVERAGE IS A KEY THAT GETS YOU INTO THE SECRET OF GOD WHERE GOD GIVES YOU STRENGTH to fight against you opponents, so says the Psalm 133:

Psalm 133: 1-2 Song of gradual ascent, of David. Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in harmony. 2- It is like the precious oil upon the head that ran down upon the beard the beard of Aaron, which descends to the edge of his garments.

The kingdom of God operates under an order, IT GIVES POWER TO THE HEAD, so that this power falls into the body, so when they cut Samson's hair HE LOST THE COMMUNION HE HAD WITH HIS COVERAGE, and got weak to the point they could chain him.
