We pray that in this month and beyond, you will cultivate intimacy with the Father in the secret place that will propel you through the storms of life as we race towards the end of age.
We pray that these times of intimacy with the Lord in the secret place will bring about enduring transformation for God’s glory in Jesus name, Amen
STORMS EVERYWHERE!
There is nowhere you look worldwide today where there is not one type of storm or another. These storms are so similar In scope for which the world has not witnessed in living memory.
Just to highlight a few below:
1) Global Health Storms – Corona Virus
2) Global Economic/Financial storms – uncontrollable interest hikes with zero impact on economic fundamentals
3) Global Political Storms
4) Global Energy Storms
5) Global Food Supply Storms
6) Global Climate Storms
7) Global War Storms – Drumbeat of 3rd world war.
I would call them PERFECT STORM. It is a perfect storm because it is global in scope and affecting everyone. What used to work by human wisdom is no longer working as it should.
I can say authoritatively that theses storms are permitted at this time so that the the earthlings will know, recognize and accept that the most high rules and reigns in the affairs of men and that the times we are in demands that we look up for our redemption draws near.
Read this and meditate:
16 Let his nature and understanding be changed from a man’s and let a beast’s nature and understanding be given him, and let seven times [or years] pass over him.
17 This sentence is by the decree of the [heavenly] watchers and the decision is by the word of the holy ones, to the intent that the living may know that the Most High [God] rules the kingdom of mankind and gives it to whomever He will and sets over it the humblest and lowliest of men.
18 This dream I, King Nebuchadnezzar, have seen. And you, O Belteshazzar [Daniel], declare now its interpretation, since all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known to me the interpretation; but you are able, for the Spirit of the Holy God is in you.
Friends, we just came out of seven days of isolation in the secret place with our Heavenly Father in prayer and fasting, seeking His face, praying for the body of Christ in our nation and the nations of the world…. that His kingdom come and His will be done on earth as it is in heaven.( Matthew 6:10)
I have these three (3) things to say to you from times of waiting on God concerning the nation and nations of the world.
They are these:
1) God has purification through the refiners fire in His mind, especially for His children, so take it with strides.. Mark 9:49-50
2) Nigeria: Election might not hold, don’t raise too much hope on the political system as you ask that His perfect will for our land take place. Our focus should be on Him and not on man. Remain prayerful so that this political process doesn’t blow up on our faces. Remain prayerful and remain vigilant.
3) Pray for the USA, asking that His kingdom and His will prevail..There will be some more shaking Politically and Economically, that will impact and reverberate across the globe. – Remain prayerful and remain vigilant
He or she who have ears let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches and take appropriate steps towards refinement and transformation. (Matthew 11:15)
The storms are for refinement – Use it for lasting transformation!
Last week, we brought you this title: Perfect Relationship : 24 Tools for Building BRIDGES to Harmony and Taking Down WALLS of Conflict in our Relationships – Understanding Your Temperament and that of others Episode 3 – Testing Strengths and Weaknesses.

Today, we bring a true story of a personal storm that drove Bob Sorge to the secret place of intimacy so that you and i can develop Intimacy with our Heavenly Father as we read, listen and digest the story and lessons.
Intimacy with the Father, through the Son by the working of the Holy Spirit is the grand design of God for His children.
You can get several accounts from scripture but for space and time, I restrict to one below:
We were created to bring God pleasure
9 And whenever the living creatures offer glory and honor and thanksgiving to Him Who sits on the throne, Who lives forever and ever (through the eternities of the eternities),
10 The twenty-four elders ([a]the members of the heavenly Sanhedrin) fall prostrate before Him Who is sitting on the throne, and they worship Him Who lives forever and ever; and they throw down their crowns before the throne, crying out,
11 Worthy are You, our Lord and God, to receive the glory and the honor and dominion, for You created all things; by Your will they were [brought into being] and were created.
We bring you today, “Intimacy with God in the secret place – Episode 4 – How God brings us into intimacy with Him through STORMS of life – True story by Bob Sorge part 1
Developing Intimacy with the Father will serve as a vital tool out of the 24 Tools on RELATIONSHIP that we will need to deploy before we can have effective Relationship with others.
How frequent your Relationship with others rises or fall depends on how deep and shallow your Relationship in the secret places with your Father in Heaven.
This is summarized in this scripture:
27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself
One of the ways God helps us to develop that part of our relationship matrix if we ask Him to help is to permit unpleasant situations in our lives that will drive us into His hands.
Let’s go through Bob Sorge’s story below to gain some insight.
True Story From the book, “In His Face” by Bob Sorge part 1
It all began one Friday in May of 1992. I was speaking at a worship conference in Michigan, instructing the class in the dynamics of using praise as a weapon in spiritual warfare. At the end of the workshop we moved from instruction to practical application, spending some minutes in praising the Lord for His power and authority over those areas where we desired spiritual breakthrough. Then, based upon Psalm 47:1, we closed with a time of shouting to God “with the voice of triumph.” We lifted a glorious shout to the sovereign Lord of the universe, exulting in His triumph over the specific areas of challenge we faced.
I shouted with the best of them. We sustained our shout of praise until a sense of completion was shared by the group. Moving from that workshop, I proceeded to speak several more times over the course of the conference. As I returned home to the church I pastored, I felt a soreness in my throat lower down than any sore throat I’d ever had.
The following week the soreness went away. But after preaching in our multiple services the following weekend, the soreness surfaced again. It left that week once more, only to resurface again after a weekend of ministry. By this time I knew something was wrong with my voice, and would have gone to see a doctor immediately except that I had a plane ticket to fly to Singapore the following day for a ten-day ministry trip. By the time I got back from Singapore it felt like a marble was lodged in my throat.
The doctor diagnosed it as an “arytenoid granuloma” — a “contact ulcer” that had formed on the arytenoid cartilage adjacent to my vocal cords. They ran a battery of tests to try to figure out what caused the granuloma, but found nothing conclusive. We tried some medications and steroids, hoping they could reduce the swelling. Then I took a period of complete vocal rest, but still nothing changed. Finally, in late August of 1992,1 had surgery to remove the granuloma.
The doctor assured me that I would be “back in the pulpit” in three weeks, but to the date of this writing I have still not recovered from surgery. Although the granuloma itself is gone, the damage sustained to the arytenoid from the surgery continues to cripple my ability to talk.
Although I am comparatively pain-free when silent, it hurts to talk, and the more I talk the more it hurts, to the point that the left side of my neck at times will radiate with pain. And when I do attempt to talk, I have maybe ten percent of my vocal strength. I can be heard from the pulpit if I use a microphone directly upon my lips.
It’s bad enough not to be able to talk; but when talking is one’s livelihood, one’s ministry, one’s life — it’s devastating. As a pastor, worship leader, conference speaker, husband and father, my life has been traumatized and turned completely upside down by this vocal injury. I do not know how to convey to you in words the kind of emotional upheaval I have known in the past two years — the loss of control, the vacillating moods, the tormenting thoughts, the unending questions, the personality changes, the theological wrestlings, the search for God.
In one sense, this book is the product of all that. I am writing this book from my “cave of Adullam,” while in the valley of the shadow of death. There are great things to be learned in the wilderness. God has taught me some things that I want to share with you.
Please do not take the title of this book to be in any way disrespectful toward God. Although the expression “in your face” is sometimes used today in a crude way, that is not the spirit of this book at all. It is with the purest and most upright heart that we come before His face. The title of this book is intended to convey passion, intimacy, and desperation.
Has God been doing things in your life that you don’t understand? Have you been crying out to God to bring you into a higher place in Him? Then it’s no accident that God has caused this book to be placed in your hands today. May He speak life into your spirit as you position yourself “In His Face.”
Walking Through the Valley
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me. (Psalm 23:4)
Imagine that you’re Job. In one single day you lose all your cattle, sheep, camels, servants, and children. The cause? Enemy raiding bands, fire from heaven, and a sudden gust of wind that causes the house to collapse upon your children. Like Job, you too would think, “This kind of thing doesn’t just happen by chance. There’s more going on here than pure happenstance. Something spiritual is behind all this.”
I have felt the same way about the circumstances surrounding my vocal injury. My voice was damaged at a time when I was fulfilling God’s call on my life to preach. I was lifting my voice in victorious declaration of His sovereignty and power in the earth, and theologically I know of no safer place to be on this planet than when rejoicing in God’s sovereign might. The church I pastored had just purchased land for the purpose of building a larger worship facility. The church was growing, the sphere of our ministry was enlarging, when BOOM! All hell seemed to break loose. I don’t fully understand why this has happened to me, but I do find myself relating very much to Job’s experiences and responses.
What’s Going On?
When you go through a hard season, many well-inten-tioned people try to encourage you by delivering a “word” from God. I’ve received many “words,” and they’ve run the entire gamut. What has been confusing is that I have received what appeared to be conflicting insight from people whose ministry I honor and who have won the right to speak into my life. One minister said, “I don’t see the devil’s hand involved here, I see the hand of God in this.” Another said, “This is the design of the enemy to
shut your mouth.”
Then I was reminded that Job’s calamity had its origin with both God and the devil. God actually picked the fight, pointing Job out to Satan and saying, “Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil?” (Job 1:8). Satan was fast on his feet and quickly came back with, “Little wonder Job serves You! You’ve blessed him so much, he’d be stupid not to serve You. But take away Your blessings from his life, and I bet you anything he’ll curse You to Your face!” Satan crafted an attack against Job, and God allowed it.
“Is this Satan, or is this God?” The answer just may be,
“Yes.”
And yet even though Job was under spiritual attack, let me point out that he never once entered into a militant kind of warfare against the enemy. The only one Job ever spoke to, the only one he ever dealt with was God.
There are aspects to my infirmity that certainly appear to have demonic incitement, and yet throughout this season I have had absolutely no militancy in my spirit. I have had only this ongoing sense that my dealings are with God alone.
Lots Of Opinions
When calamity hit Job, his three friends turned into counselors. (When troubles hit your life, you’ll never lack for people who are willing to share their wisdom and insight with you.) “God doesn’t do this kind of thing to His faithful ones,” they said to Job. “This isn’t how God treats His saints.” There could be only one plausible explanation for
Job’s grief, they reasoned. All of their arguments can be boiled down to this one accusation: “Job, there must be some kind of sin in your life.” Their counsel was simply, “Repent, and God will restore you.”
My study-edition Bible has a center column in it with “cross references” — other Bible references that substantiate the Scriptures at hand. I noticed something remarkable about the counsel of Job’s three friends: it is all cross-referenced throughout. Their counsel is substantiated by many other Scriptures. In other words, the counsel they gave Job was scriptural, good, accurate counsel. It was the right counsel — for the wrong situation. It was good advice, but it didn’t apply to the situation at hand.
Far too often we are guilty of counseling in the same way. We look at a situation, evaluate it according to our past experiences, and then deliver what we think is good counsel based upon what we see. But Jesus, in contrast, said, “As I hear I judge” (John 5:30). Jesus was saying, “I look at a situation, but then I stop to listen to the Father. What does He have to say about it? When He gives me His perspective on the situation, then I can speak to it and judge it correctly.” Job’s friends erred because they judged by what they saw rather than by what they heard.
God deliver us of common sense! Far too many Christian counselors rely on their wealth of training, education, and experience when evaluating someone’s circumstances. We are doomed to the myopic perspective of Job’s three friends unless we first stop, incline our ears to hear what the Father is saying, and then speak accordingly.
A Judgmental Spirit
God has delivered me of a judgmental spirit. Oh, I didn’t think I was judgmental. But I realize now that I used to approach some people’s problems with a question that had become almost, reflexive — “I wonder what they’re doing wrong?” A believer whose unbelieving husband was not drawing closer toward the Lord at all… A devout couple who were heartbroken over their rebellious teenager… A sincere father who was constantly struggling to stay afloat financially… In many such circumstances I would find myself, when asked for my pastoral counsel, trying to uncover what was out of order in their lives, what principles they were violating, what they were failing to do. The assumption was, “This heartache has come because of something wrong that’s being done, or something right that’s not being done.”
God has removed that assumption from my heart, and brought me to a new realization that calamity and tragedy come alike to saints and sinners. Just because you’re having troubles doesn’t necessarily mean you’re doing something wrong. Joseph made all the right decisions, and still ended up in the blackness of prison.
In reviewing Job’s calamities, I have read many commentaries and heard many messages that have carried this kind of perspective: “Job’s problem was such and such,” or “When Job finally stopped such and such he was healed,” or “This all happened to Job because he feared it would happen,” or “God had to empty Job of his spiritual pride before He could heal him.” There are many opinions as to what Job did wrong, or was doing wrong, or had to have completed in him before he could be healed. But all those opinions are coming from people who don’t understand the book of Job at all, simply because they’ve never been in that kind of place. Once you’ve experienced something Job-like, you come to realize what a giant of faith he was. He did great! His responses in the face of overwhelming grief were that of a saint. And yet, the fact that he handled his trials in a godly way was not the thing that brought him deliverance; rather, it was the manifest visitation of God’s glory to him.
God didn’t come to Job because Job’s responses were right; God came to Job because Job cried out to Him. There isn’t a right way and a wrong way to cry out to God. Just cry! You need no tips or guidelines, just cry out from the depths of your heart to Him. He hears His children (Psalm 34:15).
The Lord’s Discipline
Not all discipline is because you’ve done something wrong. Hebrews 12:11 reads, “Nowno chastening [discipline] seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.” There are two kinds of discipline.
Some discipline is punishment; some discipline is training. Hebrews 12:11 is referring to that discipline of God which is intended to train us in the way of righteousness.
Let’s use the example of an Olympic runner. He doesn’t come under strict discipline because he’s being punished for doing something wrong. He is disciplined because he is striving toward a higher goal. He’s not satisfied with being the fastest in the state, or in the nation — he wants to be the fastest in the world. To attain that height requires great discipline.
Some discipline of God is simply because He’s wanting to bring you to a higher place in Him.
Lord, lift me up and let me stand By faith, on Heaven’s tableland A higher plane than I have found Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.
[Johnson Oatman, Jr., “Higher Ground”]
Yes, Job was being disciplined. But not because he had done anything wrong. In fact, he had done everything right. (See how God personally attests to Job’s righteousness.) But God was bringing Job to an even greater dimension of ministry. His enlarged influence was not confined simply to his generation. Consider how many multiplied generations of saints have been comforted and encouraged by Job’s journal of sufferings. Job would have never had that impact over so many millions of holy ones if he hadn’t gone through his calamities.
Ups And Downs
The next time you read the book of Job, look at his mood swings. One moment he’s in the depths of the valley, fighting extreme depression, venting caustic complaint; the next moment he’s on the mountain of spiritual revelation, declaring prophetically, “For I know that my Redeemer lives, and He shall stand at last on the earth” (Job 19:25). Most scholars agree that Job is probably the first book of the Bible written. The height of Job’s prophetic insight is more clearly appreciated when we realize that Job had no other Scriptures to stand upon. He was laying the beginning of the foundation of our understanding into God’s revealed Word.
I was unprepared for the extreme emotional swings that would take my soul in my times of trial. God has pulled out from under me so much of who I thought I was. “If there’s one thing I am, I’m stable.” “This much I’m not — I’m not moody.” Those proud ideas have been destroyed. Now, when I’m in a place of emotional stability I know it’s only because of the sustaining grace of God.
I have come to reali ze that much of the stability we think we have in our lives is nothing but the gracious way God insulates us from grief. God only has to peel away one tiny area of His protection in our lives, and we learn very quickly how empty in ourselves we really are. Not one of us has anything more inherently wonderful about us than does an illiterate, handicapped orphan living on the streets of a city like Rio de Janeiro. The only difference between that orphan and me is the multiplied mercies of God that have surrounded me with so much favor and blessing. It is because we lack this understanding that so few of us respond to the missionary call.
Blessed Be The Name
Sylvia Evans, a personal friend, made a very interesting observation about the book of Job. She said the issue for Job was not depression, self-pity, anger against God, or complaining. The issue in his life was blessing or cursing. Would he bless or curse God? The devil wagered that Job would curse God, and Job’s own wife goaded him to do just that. But instead Job said, “The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord” (Job 1:21). When Sylvia recently asked me if I had cursed God yet, I was thankful that I could say “No.”
“Blessed be the name of the Lord.” His name represents His character — who He is. When I was in one of my emotional valleys, that phrase meant a lot to me. I wanted to worship the Lord, but just couldn’t find it within myself to bless Him for my present circumstances. Struggling to come to terms with that, I was reminded that Job didn’t extol the ways of God. He didn’t bless God’s works, because at that point in his life he couldn’t. But he could extol the name of the Lord. Then I realized that I could too. I know that life’s challenges can become so difficult at times that we don’t feel like blessing God’s ways or works. But I have discovered that no matter how difficult things get, I can always bless the name of the Lord. “The name of the Lord is a strong tower; The righteous run to it and are safe” (Proverbs 18:10). Take refuge, war-weary saint, in the name of the Lord.
In His Face
The Lord has shown me the key to Job’s salvation, the thing that brought him through to the other side. Despite all his wrestlings, his questions, his anger, his self-pity, his depression and his indignation, he kept his face toward God. You can get away with almost anything if you do it in the face of God. (Please do not misunderstand me, I am not saying you can get away with moral failure or outright sin.) You can rant, you can rave, you can kick, you can yell, you can have a temper tantrum, you can have a pity-party, as long as you do it in God’s face. I’m not saying it’s okay to do those things; but I am saying that if you do them in the face of God, He will bring you through.
The Lord rebuked His people through the prophet Hosea because they were wailing and mourning, but they were not crying out to Him. “They did not cry out to Me with their heart when they wailed upon their beds” (Hosea 7:14). If you’re hurting, it is eternally important the direction you choose to aim your painful cries. It’s not enough to cry out — you must cry out to the Lord.
I discovered an intriguing definition of unbelief based upon Hebrews 3:12, “Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God.” In the sense of that verse, unbelief is “turning away from God.” Conversely then, faith is “staying in the face of God.” When you’re in the furnace of affliction, sometimes the only expression of faith you can muster is that of placing yourself in the face of God.
Job kept his face toward God, and in time God came to him. Beloved, in time He’ll meet you too.
The Psalmist Anointing
In my months of turmoil I have found great strength and consolation in the Psalms. It wasn’t until my season of calamity that I realized how many of the Psalms were written from a place of depression, despair, and grief. David has suddenly become a man I can relate to very personally.
I asked, “Lord, give me the heart of a psalmist.” I thought that was a nice thing to ask for. You know, psalmists get on the keyboard, the music flows, the anointing comes down, everybody melts in the presence of God, new songs are birthed — it’s great being a psalmist. But it’s only been recently that entire portions of the Psalms have come alive to me. I used to read certain Psalms and think to myself, “I don’t relate.” I couldn’t relate to statements like, “My tears are my food day and night.” Until now. I wanted to have the heart of a psalmist, but I didn’t like the way it came.
Shortly before my infirmity struck, the Lord prompted me to read “a Psalm a day.” I know folks who read one chapter from the Book of Proverbs each day; but the Lord whispered in my heart that if I want to have the psalmist anointing, I need to hang out with the psalmists. That practice of living daily in the Psalms has been a source of immeasurable comfort and sustenance to me in times of darkness. Many of the Psalms are the chronicles of men who in times of great personal pain cried out — but they cried out in the face of God.
Valley Of Baca
Let me direct your attention for a moment to Psalm 84:5-6: “Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, whose heart is set on pilgrimage. As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a spring; the rain also covers it with pools.”
The Valley of Baca is a desert valley, and the Baca plant is a kind of plant that can survive in dry conditions. “Baca” means “Weeping,” and when you go through the desert valley you truly do fill it with tears of weeping. But for the first time I connected this verse on the Valley of Baca with the verse immediately following it: “They go from strength to strength; each one appears before God in Zion” (Psalm 84:7).
“Strength” coincides for me with the mountaintop, so that I would paraphrase the verse to say, “They go from mountaintop to mountaintop.” I had always envisioned the believer moving from mountaintop to mountaintop “gondola style,” being carried from one peak to the next. I could see the mighty man of God leaping, as it were, from one mountain peak of glorious victory to another. But verse six brings harsh reality to bear on that shimmering mirage: between every two mountains is a valley. So the Christian walk is not pictured in this text as “mountaintop to mountaintop,” rather it is “mountaintop to valley, to mountaintop, to valley.”
I would like to apply this principle to two similar expressions in the Bible — “faith to faith” (Romans 1:17) and “glory to glory” (2 Corinthians 3:18). Could it possibly be that the process of “faith to faith” is actually a moving from one mountaintop of faith, through a valley of struggle and doubt and questioning, to another mountaintop of even greater faith? And could it possibly be that the process of “glory to glory” is actually a progression from one mountaintop of glory, through a valley of things somewhat inglorious, to yet another mountaintop of even greater glory? Many saints have discovered that some of their greatest attainments in God have been preceded by some of their lowest valleys.
If all this is true, then it gives me the freedom to have seasons of struggle. If I see a brother in calamity, I can stand with him in it, knowing that God has a purpose in this season. In some systems of biblical interpretation, believers don’t have the option to go through times of struggle, confusion, discouragement, perplexity, or grief. But the Bible is full of the stories of men and women of God who went through dark seasons that were specifically intended by God to be just that.
I use the word “season” purposefully here, because I don’t believe God intends for darkness and struggle and difficulty to be our lifelong experience. God may lead us into a valley of despair for a season, but the Scripture testifies, “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death” (Psalm 23:4). God doesn’t lead us into valleys to leave us there, but to bring us through.
Asking Questions
I have been very comforted by Psalm 27:4, “One thing I have desired of the Lord, that will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in His temple.” I want to point to the invitation in the last phrase of that verse, “and to inquire in His temple.” It is an invitation to come into His presence for the purpose of questioning, asking, inquiring, searching out. Perhaps you’ve heard it said, “Don’t question God,” or, “A Christian should never ask why.” But that’s not how I read this Scripture. I see this verse inviting us to bring our questions. Have you ever wondered, “God, what is happening to me?” “Lord, what are you doing in my life?” Bring those questions into His temple, and ask.
Our problem is, we bring our questions, then turn to our neighbor and start to bicker about God. “I don’t understand why God is doing this to me.” Don’t turn; that’s unbelief. It’s very important where you take your questions. The invitation is to bring your questions into His presence, and inquire of Him in His face.
Standing
Recently I said to God, “Lord, I’ve done everything I know to do. I’ve prayed, I’ve praised, I’ve repented, I’ve fasted, I’ve rebuked, I’ve surrendered, I’ve read books, I’ve quoted Scriptures, I’ve spent time in Your presence, I’ve reconciled with everyone I could conceive had a problem with me, I’ve gone on an extended personal retreat in solitude. I don’t know of anything else to do.”
The next morning I awoke and this verse was whispered gently into my heart, “and having done all, to stand” (Ephesians 6:13). I felt like I didn’t have strength to do anything else, but yes, I could still stand. People would ask me, “How are you doing?” and my answer was, “Standing.”
Some victories are gained not through an aggressive posturing of faith, but by simply standing. God didn’t deliver Joseph from his prison because Joseph had a dynamic stance of faith, but because he kept his gaze fixed upon God. Joseph didn’t understand what was happening to him. He could get powerful revelations for other people (the butler and the baker), but when it came to his own life he could see nothing. But at the right time God came and delivered him. “The Lord…does not despise His prisoners” (Psalm 69:33).
Let me tell you how to stand: Stand like Job and Joseph
— in the face of God.
Next week in part 2, we will look at Passion, Purity & Perseverance
Until then, have a wonderful weekend!
Shalom!
