THE SECRET PLACE

***Jesus was interested in showing believers the right way to pray, so they could have miracles in answer to their prayers. He showed that true prayer was communion with the Supreme Being-the Father God. He said that before praying one should seclude himself or herself to be free from interruption. A person cannot successfully carry on human & divine communications at the same time.***

***And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues & on street corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But you, when you pray, go into your room, & when you have shut the door, pray to your Heavenly Father who is in the secret place; * your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly(Matthew 6:5 * 6).***

***Most everyone knows that God is in heaven, but the great secret of answered prayers is to realize & understand that He is also in the same room with you! When the realization that God is actually present it makes your prayer vital & more powerful.***

***Why must we get alone to pray? Because in prayer, we are entering into the presence of God. When we pray, we must enter in reverence & respect because He is worthy.***
