Dear all,

One of the thing that was brought up when we had our catch up at “Breakfast with the King” was that we need to take time to soak in His presence. I have to agree that it is very important to be that sponge to soak in and overflowed with His Presence. In fact, I think that should be the focus of individual of us, probably at least from now until the end of the sem. Just only when we are so comfortable and know so well what it is like to be in His Presence, then we will have the desire to have the same in corporate worship, and the sensitivity to sense His presence in corporate worship.

Follow the trend, I find that it is also an appropriate time for me to share this website with you all. The secret place ministry had blessed me tremendously even though I just visited the website a few time. But the heart for intimacy with God and the heart for worship is just so strong that you sense it everywhere you go in the website. The owner of the ministry is Ray Watson (your personal beauty store), from Pursuit Church, and another tagline (I think for the church) is Pursuit His Presence. The tagline for the ministry is “Turning hearts back to the Father through intimate praise and worship” (dont you feel you hearts jumping?).

In the website there are pages teaching and sharing about Soaking in His Presence, Intimate Worship and Prophetic Worship. He also offer free music, some you can listen on site. The songs are recorded or written when he had his own personal free worship with God. As you listen to the songs, you would definitely sense God, the spirit just ticked =D Highly encourage that you spend time check out their website, as well as take time to listen to the songs that Ray wrote and sing also.

The website is: www.secretplaceministries.org

Here is the Vision of the ministry, just to wet your appetite =D

“Turning hearts back to the Father through intimate praise and worship.”

The Secret Place is a ministry first and foremost to the heart of God. We are so busy living our daily lives we so easily forget that the world was made BY Him and FOR Him. So many “worship” songs are about our needs and our relationship with God, but few find that place of intimacy with Him where the heart of God and man are truly satisfied. It is my prayer that The Secret Place will help meet that need.

Turn us Lord

In 1997 the Lord spoke to me and said, “I want to use you to turn the hearts of my people back to myself.” I said, “Why Lord?” He said, “Because their hearts are everywhere.” Our hearts need to be captured for Him. I believe God gave us music to help ignite our hearts in worship. It is my heart-felt prayer that the Lord will use these songs to help people find new passion in their worship, “for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.” This is one of the most important verses in the Bible, because it tells us what God is looking for. True worship is the most important activity of the human heart, since this is God’s desire. We need a fresh touch from heaven, not just in our churches but in our private devotions. Secret Place Ministries was established for this purpose.  “Turning hearts back to the Father through intimate praise and worship”

The Psalmist prayed, “Turn us Lord, and our hearts will be turned.” Nothing quite stirs the soul and emotions of man in the way that music does. Music is the universal language of the human heart. There is not a single person who is not moved by it. The longing, the loss, the love, the heights, the depths – the whole range of human emotion is captured and communicated through this powerful medium.

I believe God gave us music as one of the means to awaken our hearts toward Himself.  Let us not leave this key to men’s hearts in the hands of those who would use it for their own purposes. Let us use this gift for its created purpose. Let us write songs that are God-breathed – songs that are birthed in another world and can bring that world to us. Let us write songs that are so touched by His presence that they capture every heart for Him. Let our hearts be so affected that we are forever changed. There, in the Secret Place, let us be so captivated by His love and consumed with His purpose for our lives, that we gladly surrender all to purchase the pearl of great price.

“Turn us, Lord, and we shall be turned.”

The Music

“There is a new sound coming into the earth – it is the sound of heaven.”

The Secret Place is a place of intimacy with the Father. It is a place where deep cries out to deep, and where the heart yearns for His touch. Like the Psalms of David, these songs reach for the heart of God, and capture the highs and lows of life’s experiences in this eternal quest. The songs themselves are memorable. At times you will find yourself hooked on a phrase that stays with you throughout the entire day, constantly reminding you of His presence and calling you to abide there. God longs to fellowship with His people and to have them know Him intimately. With an emphasis on intimacy and simplicity, these songs are sure to capture your heart, and leave you with an enduring sense of His presence, and a hunger for more.

Let’s get soaked everyone…
