John Belt: Discovering God's Hideout


by John Belt
Nov 10, 2012

Steve ShultzFrom the desk of Steve Shultz:

There's much to be said about being "hidden in Christ" as John Belt shares here. As I read through his word, all I could think about is "worshipping" before Him...and what a hideout that is.

Also, would you do me a favor? Please help us keep sending you words by buying as many prophetic items as you are able to from the Elijah List at this link: www.elijahshopper.com. You might save a buck by buying it online through Amazon, but you'll help us build the Kingdom more effectively if you buy things through us. Will you consider that "proposal"? Thank you for supporting us!

God's Plan to Use Us

Psalm 17:8 Keep me as the apple of Your eye; Hide me under the shadow of Your wings.

Did you know that God wants to use all of us powerfully? He has great plans for each of us. His plan is for us to get in on His greater plan. It is so amazing to me that He has made us His very own dwelling place. What an outlandish offer! Not only that, He desires to flow through us touching others with His extravagant love.

His Perfection Flows Through Us

Romans 9:23 That He might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy, which He had prepared beforehand for glory.

How does this happen? Is it because of all the good things that we do? Our perfect lives? Do we need to ascend to some measure of spiritual greatness to be used by God? Absolutely not. It is the grace of God that has made us worthy to be vessels of His presence. It is not about our perfection, our giftings, our great ability or whatever else we think might help qualify us for His work. He uses each of us where we are because we trust in His grace and depend on His Spirit, His perfection flowing through us.

Incorporated Into His Flow

Ephesians 3:7 Of which I became a minister according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by the effective working of His power.

It is not about our performance. He will use us powerfully because of His grace. All God looks for in us is faithfulness and a heart that has learned to hide in Him. In our walk with God one of the most valuable keys we can learn is to "hide in Him". What does this mean? God is our hideout. We become absorbed in Him as we are found in Him without our own self-righteousness. This way it is not about all the things we do, our performance and our credentials. As we learn to yield ourselves to the Spirit, we become a hidden people incorporated into the flow of His desires.

Benefits of Hiding Out With God:

1. You discover your true identity is in Christ.
2. His grace becomes "His ability" manifest in you.
3. You will be able to lead others to discover this Hiding Place.

The Finished Work of Christ

Colossians 3:3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

When Christ died, we died. When Christ rose, we rose with Him. Christ is now seated at the right hand of God and us with Him in heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6). All the work is finished. When we hideaway with God we become absorbed into His very life. With our hearts yielded to the Holy Spirit we become conduits of His presence into the earth. God will use us in power because we are simply vessels. It is Christ in us the hope of glory (Colossians 1:27). Just as Paul said in Galatians 2:20, "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me," his life was absorbed into Christ. We move from the position of visibility into a position of being hidden with Christ in God.

Tips: In what ways can I better understand and experience this hiding place?

1. Do a Bible word search on "hiding, hiding place and hidden".
2. Take time to rest meditating on the work Christ accomplished for you.
3. Worship God from a position of being hidden in Christ.

Abundant blessings to you,
