- Original Design & Restoration
- God created us for unhindered communion and intimacy (Eden). Through Jesus' death and the torn veil, we are invited back into that intimate relationship with the Father.
- Identity in the Secret Place
- In closeness with God (Secret Place, beyond the veil), we discover our true identity as beloved children resting in Him before any tasks or callings.
- Two Narratives
- We live either in our default self-reliant story or in God's better narrative/path. God invites and woos us into His story through time in the Secret Place.
- Dependence vs. Independence
- Cultural independence contrasts with biblical dependence on God. True fruitfulness and direction come only from abiding in Christ (John 15:5).
- God's Promises of Guidance (Psalm 32:8)
- Instruct – Practical insight and wisdom for the path.
- Teach – Formal instruction (root of Torah), fulfilled by the Holy Spirit.
- Guide with His eye – Intimate counsel from close relationship; sensitive to His slightest direction.
- Alternative to Yielding
- Stubbornness (like horse/mule needing bit and bridle) leads to forced correction. Self-reliant paths seem right but end in death (Prov 14:12).
- Call to Action for 2026
- Choose life in God's presence and path. Spend time in the Secret Place to hear His voice ("This is the way"), receive deliverance from fear (“spirit” of fear)/self-sufficiency, and walk the narrow, fruitful road He has for us – for our good, our children, and others we are called to reach.
