From the desk of Steve Shultz:
Do you want to consistently pursue going "higher" with the Lord?
Even after many years of being a Believer, it still blows me away just how high we can go with Him!
We should all be striving to go higher and into the secret place...as He reveals many facets of Himself to us more and more.
My friend John Belt shares this about the authority given to us as we dwell in the secret place:
When Jesus empowered His disciples to cast out demons they came back with joy, telling Jesus about it, because of the demons being subject to His name. There is a healthy, natural joy that comes when you begin to realize the authority that you have over the Kingdom of darkness in His name. You've been given the authority of His name and when you dwell in the secret place, spending time with the Lord, you have the power of His Spirit to cast the devil out anytime and anywhere. You need to know this.
I hope this encourages all of you in your pursuit to always go deeper in your relationship with the Lord. There is so much more He wants to show you! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

"Know Your Authority Over Darkness! An Invitation to the Secret Place"
John Belt, Cincinnati, OH
"Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, even the Most High, your dwelling place, no evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; For He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways." (Psalm 91:9-11)
God invites us into His secret place to spend time with Him. It is the highest invitation of all with incomprehensible benefits for our lives. The Lord understands us better than we understand ourselves. The entire concept of promises is hinged on our response to His offer. God knows that we need benefits. "Bless the Lord, oh my soul, and forget not all of His benefits..." (Psalm 103:2).
It is natural for us to look for things that are beneficial to us. I don't think that's a bad thing, for God made us that way. When our hearts are given over to the Lord and His plans for us, He causes amazing favor to invade our lives. Just as a father gives his child reward, God is the ultimate rewarder as we seek Him. Jesus further clarifies this by telling us that if our earthly father, being evil, would give good gifts then how much more will the heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask (see Luke 11:13). God wants us to recognize Him as our source. He wants us completely dependent on Him. This is why He gives us promises so that He can show Himself faithful to us. He wants us to know just how good He is.
