The Secret Place: Why We Don't Have the Power by Pastor Mike Jenkins
from Springs of Hope Church With Pastor Mike Jenkins of Crawfordville, Florida · host Mike Jenkins
The Gateway to Spiritual Power In this moving teaching, Pastor Mike Jenkins explores the vital necessity of a dedicated prayer life. Drawing from the journals of E.M. Bounds and the lives of biblical giants, he illustrates that our eternal and temporal destinies are forged in private, not in public. He challenges the modern church's busyness, calling us back to a place of total vulnerability and submission. -- The Secret Place is a literal and spiritual location where God and man meet, intended for intimacy and total vulnerability. -- True submission to God is likened to a dog going "belly up"—a position of complete trust where you are unable to defend yourself. -- Spiritual empires and personal destinies are not built in public settings but are forged on one's face in private prayer. -- We must resist the urge to compare ourselves to others or dwell on past failures; God is in the business of refreshing, refiring, and retooling his servants. -- Modern religious activities and programs are no substitute for the power found in a consistent, private devotional life. Scriptures for Further Study -- Luke 18:1 -- 1 Thessalonians 5:17 -- Ephesians 6:18 -- Colossians 4:2 -- Romans 12:12 -- James 5:16 -- Psalm 91:1

What this episode covers
"We have thousands of activities and schedules packed with religious events, but we don’t have the secret place—and that’s why we don’t have the power." --Pastor Mike Jenkins Are you tired of a Christian life that feels powerless and routine? Pastor Mike Jenkins pulls back the curtain on "The Secret Place"—the literal and spiritual territory where God and man meet. From the discipline of 5:00 AM alarms to the radical humility of "going belly up" before the Creator, this message challenges every believer to stop playing games. If you’ve ever felt like your destiny is just out of reach, the answer isn't in a new program or a church growth book; it's hidden in the one place most Christians never find.
