The secret place of the Lord is that place where we approach Him in secret or in the secret of our closet. Our Lord Jesus Christ said in
Matthew Chapter 6 and verse 6 as follows:
6"But when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut the door, pray to thy father which is in secret; and thy father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly". Again in Matthew chapter 6 and verses 17 – 18 we read as follows:
17" But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head and wash thy face;
18 – "That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret, and thy father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly".We can clearly see from the Lord's statements that the secret place of the Most High is the place where we approach him by faith in a manner that is hidden to the world around us. We can approach Him here by giving in secret as written in Matthew Chapter 6 verses 3 – 4, or prayer Matthew Chapter 6verses 5 – 6, or fasting Matthew 6 verses 17-18, also Jeremiah 33 verse 3 says,
3 "Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things which thou knewest not", And we call upon Him in the secret place of prayer. We can understand from all this that dwelling in the secret place of the most high has two important meanings. The first encompasses all that I have explained above. The second is also like it and I will explain it with this scripture quotation.
"The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him and to them will he show his covenant" This is talking about hidden revelation, which the Lord by His Holy Spirit, gives to those that fear him, because the worlds' cannot know it and cannot understand it because it is foolishness to the world, but the wisdom of God (it is a secret).
