| Welcome to Charles Smith Ministries |
"The Secret Place"
In times like these, with the country in the middle of a recession, and a new
administration in the White House, this is a great time to pray to our God for
our country. It`s high time for ministries to focus on the mandate of God
and make disciples as we find that this is what gives Him glory. I believe
that God is using this economic disaster to cause people to wake up and
realize that humanity cannot function without Divinity. As we look at even
our personal lives, we would have to admit that we are a people who have,
or could have more than we have ever had. God does not mind if we have
things, as long as they don`t have us. The bible says in 2Chronicles 7:14 If
my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and
pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear
from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. America
really needs healing in times like these.
I believe that God is calling America away from all of the ungodliness, and
back to church, prayer, and obedience to His word. My view on this is
to-the-point; without being arrogant, or thinking that we are the only ones
seeking the Lord. Before the church can get the government and it`s cabinet
straight, we need to work to remove the cloud over "the church". I believe
that if the minister, pastor, prophet, evangelist, and those who claim a call
of God on their life would become intense in the prayer closet, things will
turn around in the church. The church should be a place of praise as well as
a hospital for the lost. But if many in the church are lost, and caught up
with the distractions of this life, they will come to church just for a social
gathering.
The pastor or minister should have the people at heart and pray for them
and not prey upon them. Not that I would ever try to judge anyone, but the
church lacks balance in many cases. We as saints of God should be faithful
and give tithe of our possessions so that the house of God will function
properly.(Luke 11:42) I believe that we as Pastors need to be very careful
even when we "live by the Gospel". When the leader is in the secret place of
The Most High, he or she is protected from principalities primarily, but
God will let us see ourselves so that we don`t self-destruct and be
consumed by the way we view what a blessing is. In His presence, we will
not develop the superstar mentality, but will always give God the glory in all
we do. In His presence, we will walk in dominion, and not touch those
things that we are commanded not to touch. (Gen 2:17)
That tells me that we walk in dominion until we touch the wrong things.
This action could render the man or woman of God powerless when they
are not focused on the assignment. I encourage every man and woman of
God to stay focused on the Kingdom, the secret place of the Most High,
and always walk in the love of God. The blessings of God are tied to being
in the secret place so that we can really hear from Him. Then you will know
that God is not in your suit, your shoes, your dress, nor your shout, but in
your heart. And knowing that He is on the inside will make you shout!
Please stay in "The Secret Place of The Most High".
Amen
