THE VISION
On the 23rd of January 2018, at 11:00 a.m., in the secret place, the Lord began to visit with me about His way of bringing revival to our land. Two years ago the Lord had spoken to me for Janet and I to take Prayer Summits to different cities, which we have been doing. Last year, He made our message very plain — “Awaken My church to watch and pray.” Thus, I’ve been crying out to the Lord about an effective and fruitful way to encourage His people to “watch and pray.” And so on Tuesday, 23 January 2018, He deposited His plan and vision into my heart.

THE SECRET PLACE
The Lord said to teach and disciple His people to go to their room (secret place, Matthew 6:6) for 52 days. He said, “If they will commit to do this, I will bring a refreshing, renewal, and revival to them, their families, churches, cities and nation.”
This is not meant to bring shame, guilt or condemnation if you are unable to keep to the schedule every single day. Do your best. As you do it more and more, you will learn how to step into the Secret Place where ever you are whenever you do have a few minutes.
Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.” James 4:8. He is waiting on us to come to our room and shut the door and seek His face. The choice is ours. Will we be willing and obedient to spend intimate time with Him in the Secret Place?

BUILDING YOUR SPIRITUAL HOUSE
I PETER 2:4-5
I PETER 2:4-5
When Nehemiah got the word from God to go to Jerusalem and rebuild the wall, and after he obtained permission from the king to do so, it was 52 days of hard work to establish the City of God. God has called us to 52 days in the secret place, establishing His rule and reign in our hearts and in our realm of influence. Here are some key steps to achieving this:
· Establishing the Secret Place – Matthew 6:6; Psalm 91:1
When Jesus taught on prayer, He gave primary emphasis on the secret place. “When you pray go into your room.” Because that is where the Father dwells, where intimacy begins and a ceaseless supply of everything we need exists. And so for 52 days we will go to this special place to meet with our Father and allow the Spirit of God to build and repair our spiritual house. He will teach us how to pray, because we are in our place of prayer. (Psalm 86:11-12)
· The Lord’s Prayer – Matthew 6:9-15
Jesus said, “This is how you pray.” In the secret place, we will obey and say this prayer, and He will give us more revelation on how this prayer can be effective.
· Putting on the armor of God – Ephesians 6:10-20
Paul said, “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against….” In this place we are taught how to stand against and how to fight the enemy.
· Pray for the lost. Psalm 2:8
· Keep a diary of what the Lord is saying to you. He will give you treasures, hidden mysteries, and revelation knowledge, that He will use to create additional secrets of the secret place. Habakkuk 2:2-3

Each day you will read one chapter for 52 days, learning much about the secret place.
· Disciple One – Matthew 28:19
You will find one that you can disciple about the secret place. You will encourage and keep them accountable for 52 days, and you will teach them to duplicate the secret place in another person.
The secret place is a time machine, transporting us from our time zone to His, while waiting for God, wait on God.
