2nd Step Meeting
The Lord gave the Aaronic Blessing to Aaron with instructions that this should be said over all His people by the priests. The hands were to be held in a certain way…
Placing his thumbs together with the four fingers separated into two parts represents the Hebrew letter shin. Shin is also the letter on the mezuzah, the parchment inscribed and placed over the doorway of Jewish homes. It stands for El Shaddai, God Almighty. According to Jewish tradition, the divine presence would shine through the fingers of the priest as He blessed the people.
The palms being placed over the eyes has special significance. The first line of this blessing asks for gifts. What greater gift could be given than to open spiritual eyes so we can receive from God in the Secret Place. (First verse covered in this article: CLICK HERE)
The second verse shows that seeing Jesus is actually God’s will:
…the Lord makes his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you… (Numbers 6:25 ESV)Paniym is a Hebrew word that is actually plural to represent knowing the many different aspects of a person. This word also means “presence” or the “wholeness of being” of an individual. Shine means to reveal.
The Hebrew word hanan translated as “gracious to you” literally means to “provide protection.” It is derived from the word hanah, which refers to a “camp.” When the instructions were given to recite this blessing, it indicated that if you wanted to protect something you would bring it to the security of your camp. The Secret place of the Most High is referred to as the “camp of the Lord.” The meaning behind this verse is:
Lord, reveal yourself to me and bring me to the Secret Place of the Most High, the tent of the Lord, where you can be gracious to me by providing for me and protecting me.Can you see the progression with these two verses? First, He gives you gifts, like the gift of salvation, the gift of the Holy Spirit being in you instead of upon you, and the gift of seeing into your new homeland: Heaven. Then you become one of His sheep, He will protect you with the thorny hedge as your Shepherd. As you learn to stay close to Him, next, He will reveal Himself to you as He brings you back to His camp – The Secret Place. Psalms 91 tells us we are to occupy or remain in the Secret Place and we will be protected and strengthened.
God’s greatest desire is for His children to visit with Him. Is there ever a time when you wouldn’t desire to see your kids? God is a good, kind, loving Father who wants to visit with us. The Hebrew word Abba is a term of endearment. It means Daddy, Pappa, Pa, or whatever else you would call your Father when you were a small child. Not all of us have had great examples of a kind, loving father in our lives, but God wants to be that for you.
I pray that you will meditate on this revelation and allow the Holy Spirit to remove any bitterness, unforgiveness or even anger from your heart. This will prepare you to see Jesus in the Secret Place, which is fullness of what God has for you in this amazing blessing.
After our meeting, we had a time of anointed worship where the Secret Place was opened for some. Here is the video with testimonies:

Believers' Boot Camp series

Many people think of boot camp as a place you train for combat. Any veteran will tell you that basic training is about three things:
- Knowing what weapons are available
- Learning how to use those weapons
- Receiving orders and following them
Believer’s Boot Camp series is a collection of books which teach us how to hear more clearly from God with the goal to ready ourselves for a face-to-face meeting with our Lord, Jesus. The series reveals the “weapons and tools” God has given us and how to use them, so we can bring God’s kingdom to Earth. Each book in the series focuses on a single topic to clearly define one tool or weapon from our Heavenly Father.
The series uses the Word of God to reveal all that He has given us through Jesus. The Bible is our instruction manual and the Holy Spirit is our guide to understanding it.
Volume 1: Why Doesn't God Speak to Me?
Eager hearts cry out, hoping for a single word to confirm that He hears us. Yet, many times the only sound is silence. Over the years I have heard several reasons why God speaks to some and not to others. One night, as I tossed and turned, I brought each of these reasons before the Lord, stating why each of them did not line up with who I thought He was.
Words rose from my soul, pleading for Him to reveal why He has remained silent when a single word from Him would mean so much to so many. For the next few hours, God used things I learned about years ago and things I had just discovered to show why He talks to some and why He doesn’t, and in demonstrative ways.
In His grace, He also showed me how people could hear more from Him. Basic instructions on how to hear more from God and how to be led by Him are included in this book. Thank you for taking time to consider the answers I received and share with you now.
