Golden Ministries Newsletter

We still need many gift items to take in for Pastors, women, and children. If you wish to help with that let me know and I will give you and address where you can send items. They love books, worship items, tapes and CD’s, but I am especially wanting some Bible Covers for the Pastor’s who walk so far carrying their Bibles.

Your prayers make all the difference. I stand with your prayers in Christ to accomplish His will in the earth. That makes you His prayer partner and fellow worker. Praise God.

The Soul Restored In The Secret Place

Called to Come

Though this happened some time ago, the Lord is only now telling me to share this. Because it was so precious to me, I don’t think I could have sooner. At the time this occurred during my prayer time the presence of the Lord was intense. Jesus came. I was being called to the Father. I was washed in the Blood of Jesus and forgiven, then clothed in His righteousness in preparation. I must only go to the Father in Jesus Christ.

Knowing God

I had never seen the Father God like this. He said He wanted me to know Him and He began to speak softly. Everything He said rhymed and was a beautiful poem that He personally sang to me. I was not permitted to remember the poem in detail but the gist of what He said. It was beautifully and elegantly done – for me. His voice was softer than a whisper. “Does it surprise you that I can be so soft and gentle like a teardrop on your cheek? When I am so big and powerful?” God asked, “I am with you. I know you. And it’s time for you to know me.”

His words were poetic and loving as He began to show me just how soft and loving He could be. He formed the flowers and their colors. “It was I,” He said, “who made the grass such lovely shades of green. I formed the dewdrop and designed the tiniest most delicate things.” (God is an awesome artist I thought). “You think I’m too big and powerful but the biggest creature on earth, the great Blue Whale, is the most gentle of all creatures. There are creatures in the depths of the ocean that man has never even seen. I made even the smallest creatures, making things beautiful and wondrous, like butterfly wings and a rabbit’s soft fur.”

He began to show me how delicate and gentle He could be. Not like an artist painting a picture separate from himself, but created from Himself. As I began to look at the colors and hues of the sunset and smell the sweetest fragrances, I saw that they all portrayed aspects of their creator and was one way He was revealing Himself so we could know Him.

The Key

He took me to what He called the treasure of His hand. It was very soft there as I lay in the middle of His hand, like a cloud with substance. It was like a big soft hug. There in the softness He told me to dig. I found a tiny golden key. “What is this?” I asked. “It is a key to part of your heart that is locked away. It was not done maliciously but because you did not know how to give it to Me.” I took the key and unlocked that part of my heart. Then I carefully gave the key back to Him. Just in case it ever gets locked again. I might lose it.

He knows the tiniest details of my life. He knows all about me. He doesn’t want me to be afraid to come to Him, because He is so big and powerful. No not at all. He showed me a bottle. When we cry for joy or love at being near Him He catches those tears and keeps them like precious memories, the memories of a dear child to a loving Father.

The Secret Place

The next day during my prayer time the Lord Jesus came and took me to a special place in Heaven. It was a room in the Father’s House that He called my Secret Place. Let me lay some scriptural groundwork for the secret place before the revelation.

Psalm 139:15-17 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, (We were made in the secret place. Our own secret place.) Your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them!

Psalm 91:1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. (We are to live in Christ in Heaven – in our Secret Place)

Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,

Psalm 27:5 For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion; In the secret place of His tabernacle He shall hide me; He shall set me high upon a rock. (We are safe in the Secret Place)

Isaiah 45:3 I will give you the treasures of darkness And hidden riches of secret places, That you may know that I, the LORD, Who call you by your name, Am the God of Israel.

John 14:2-3 "In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. (The word mansions there is more often translated rooms, rooms in the Father’s House prepared for us by the Lord. I would much rather have my own room in my Father’s house than be off away from Him in my own house.) "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. (Not just when we die but now. We have access to Heavenly Places and that is our Secret Place to fellowship with the Lord. Let me tell you about it. Yours will look much different from mine because the Father takes every detail of who you are and what you like into consideration when He prepares it for you.)

My Room

It was very sweet and cozy, very simple. It was an attic bedroom with lots of angels in the ceiling and a big overstuffed double bed in the corner that had a very sweet flowery bedspread. I love such rooms. The wallpaper too was a delicate pattern of sweet flowers, nothing overpowering, just small delicate flowers. It had a round window near the bed. “I know you like a window near the bed.” Jesus said quietly as I looked around. In the ceiling over the bed was another window where Jesus and I could watch the stars when we lay and talked.

There was a big white wicker rocking chair just below the end of the bed for when I’m just a little child with the Lord so He could just hold me. (We are not limited to age in heaven and can go from being old to young and old again easily, addressing each situation with the demeanor that suits it best.) Just past the rocking chair was a big loveseat where we could sit together. There was something very familiar about this room. I just couldn’t get over that feeling. It was like coming home after being gone a while. It was as though bits and pieces of what means home to me were all put together in one place.

To the right of the bed was a bit of an open space where the Lord and I could dance. This is important because it is when I stand on His feet as a little girl and hold on tight to His waist and let Him dance us about that I learn to move in unison with Him fluidly. Just like when we sing together, it teaches me to be in harmony with Him at all times. I was pleased that was there.

The room was just behind the throne room of God. I knew that just on the other side of the wall was the throne of God. That was exciting. I had seen visions of Father’s house before. Perhaps we will discuss that another time. So it was very exciting to have my own room there. I knew it was the place where Jesus and I would meet and spend time together. There were other doors but that is not something we need to discuss this time. To access anything else you must first get used to accessing the Secret Place and spending time with the Lord on a regular basis. We are supposed to abide there, but spending time there on a regular basis is the first step.

Just in front of the rocking chair and loveseat is a big oval rug and against the wall a small chest like box. It is built very simply. It too looked familiar. The Lord sat on the rug and opened the box. It was full of toys. “Come play with Me.” He said. I was shocked. I was having such a wonderful revelation and He wanted me to sit and play. It seemed very out of place, so I hesitated.

“I brought your special toys.” He said. I wondered what that could possibly mean. As I sat on the floor I became a child of 5 or 6 years old. He lifted my dolls out of the box. “This one is Kathy.” He said handing her to me. “The one with no hair is Penny. Do you remember this one?” The Lord asked smiling. It was the one my brothers had hung from a tree and broken. It was all repaired and looking like new. I was so shocked. He had my dolls. He had restored them and even knew their names. Wow.

He began to pull out other toys. My tin china tea set with little roses, my monkey that banged cymbals. I had forgotten these toys. There was a brightly colored top made of tin that had a long stick you pushed down to make it twirl. It looked like new. “These are my toys.” I whispered. “How did you get them? They were lost.”

“I know.” He said, “When you were 6 and you moved to the country you searched and searched for your toys and they told you there were no such toys and that you made them up in your head but here they are. I have them.”

“Do you remember this one?” The Lord asked. “He held up a chimpanzee. He was black with a yellow chest and plaid suspenders. He had a big banana that would fit in his mouth and white rubber shoes. I began to cry and couldn’t stop. “That’s George.” I managed to whisper. I don’t think I had seen him since I was 5. He was very special to me and he was one of the toys that had been lost. I couldn’t’ stop crying. “Why can’t I stop crying?” I asked.

“Because a big part of your heart shut down when you lost George.” The Lord said gently. “He was the last thing you could lose and still be okay. You lost everything you ever loved, your mom died, your dad went away, your sister left and for a while when you went to live with your uncle and aunt as a baby and they didn’t want you and were mean to you, you even lost your brothers. You lost everything you loved, everything but George. He became your special someone that you loved that wouldn’t ever leave you or hurt you. After you lost George too you never really trusted anyone on a deep level again, even Me.

George was my special friend. I took him everywhere. I talked to him and I slept with him. I’m sure the loss of one toy didn’t seem important to others at that time but for me it was major. But I had to get over it. As time went on I forgot about George but Jesus didn’t forget. Now here he was looking like new – for me.

“You can trust Me.” The Lord said. “Every detail of this place was put together from your heart. Here you can play, rest, talk, dance with Me or just let Me rock you in the rocking chair. It’s your Secret Place to be with Me.” How precious the Lord is. How deeply He knows even the parts of our hearts that we have locked away. How important it is to really trust Him.

“For the End Times and the things that lay ahead you will need all of your heart.” Jesus said, “You cant afford for any of it to be locked away or broken. In the Secret Place I will heal and restore your heart – your soul. It may hurt a bit at first as I pry open doors that have grown shut but it is well worth it for the liberty that lies on the other side. You will need all of your heart to learn to abide in Me.”

Conclusion

So why am I sharing this. It is so personal. Because my friends you have doors in your soul that only the Lord can even find let alone open. Doors perhaps we have forgotten or are afraid of. If we go digging in our past ourselves without Him looking for things we will get hurt. Only He can reveal what we are ready to deal with. He does it so lovingly.

But we will need all of our heart and soul for the days ahead. We must begin to position ourselves in the Lord so He can reveal locked rooms and hidden places in our hearts and set us free. That is what this series on the soul is all about. If our soul is divided because of locked doors, or our soul is broken and wounded we will never be able to walk in unity with ourselves or the Lord. The Lord wants to heal your soul. Psalm 41:4 LORD, be merciful to me; heal my soul, Psalm 23:3 He restores my soul;

How does the Lord heal your soul? One place and one part at a time but we have to be sensitive and allow Him to do it. We have to access Him in worship where He can get to us. We have to give Him time. You want to walk in unity with yourself and with the Lord but you just can’t? Then let the Lord begin to heal your soul and restore the pieces you thought were lost forever. He can even resurrect your destiny from the graveyard of destinies if you let Him.

And the best news of all, He’s not only able but as the leper found, He is also willing. This revelation changed my life. It lead me to a process that I had to walk in for a while to bring the needed change. It lead me to a deeper walk and a more powerful anointing. But more importantly it helped me walk closer to my Lord. It will do the same for you. - It WILL do the same for you!
