From the desk of Steve Shultz:
Now more than ever...is a time to abide in the secret place with the Lord. This is where we draw closer to Him, receive His plans and strategies over our lives, and learn to thwart the enemy's plans!
Our friend Ella Onakoya writes an excellent and timely article about this as she states:
Today we see multiple attacks against the Church, but I hear the Lord say, "Be strong and of good courage." Ask Him for boldness and invite Jesus, the Lion of Judah, to fight and defeat the enemy on your behalf. The key the Lord revealed to me to overcome the attacks of the enemy, when he arises as a lion, is for the Church to walk in boldness and PRAISE HIM against all odds. The name "Judah" means "praise," and when we praise Jesus, He arises as the Lion of Judah to bring us victory. Jesus is the Lion of Judah who leads a people of praise into victory!

"How to Overcome the Enemy's Attacks!"
Ella Onakoya, London, United Kingdom
I hear God's call this year to abide in His secret place. Our abiding place of intimacy with Him will also be our place of covering. This is God's wisdom being revealed to deliver us from evil.
One of the Scriptures the Lord gave me for this year was Psalm 91. From this Scripture, He gave revelations and prophetic directives to share with the Church. The promises and the revelation revealed by the Lord in this passage are to be meditated on and decreed into manifestation through prayer. Below are the revelations the Lord gave me for 2019 and beyond to share with the Body of Christ.
What is the Secret Place?
The secret place is a place of the overshadowing of the presence of God that we enter into through communion, fellowship and friendship with the Lord. This year the Lord is calling forth a deep love walk with Him that will cause us to abide and dwell in His presence. In the place of intimacy and abiding in His love, we are better able to hear and heed revelation and direction that will protect us and hide us from the evil one.
This secret place will form a protective shield against evil schemes of the enemy. The Lord is calling forth His Church to arise and declare His shield of protection over their lives, nations, families and communities.
The Protective Promises of His Secret Place
From childhood, while growing up in Nigeria, I was introduced to the secret place through my mother's radical, intimate walk with the Lord and her unwavering trust in God's protective covering. To hear her speak was to envisage the secret place of the Lord as a tangible fortress of protection for those He loves. Numerous times I experienced God's healing as my mother would release God's presence over my body.
I was amazed at God as I watched my mother take care of a young Muslim girl who suffered from infectious tuberculosis and who she nurtured in our home. She declared that God's abiding presence in our home meant we would not be infected and that instead the girl would receive her healing. Indeed, we never got infected and the girl received her healing and became a Christian. God also protected our home from armed robbers who regularly raided other homes. I knew this was because my mother regularly prayed through the covering of the secret place over our home. (Photo via Pixabay)
Suffice it to say, as the Lord reminded me at the beginning of this year to rediscover the protective promises of His secret place and pray it through over myself and the Body of Christ, these early testimonies of my childhood released fresh faith for the times we are in.
I see the abiding place of fellowship and friendship with the Lord releasing an incubating glory that is impenetrable to the enemy. However, just like I watched my mother (who has since gone to be with the Lord) release the covering of the secret place over me through faith-filled declarations, God's protection over us in this season will also be released as we boldly declare His covering glory over our lives and all He has for us. Trust in Him who has the power to deliver you from the snare of the fowler and the noisome pestilence (Psalm 91:3).
