"But when you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and pray to your Father in private."
This week, we sit down with our friend Michael Bethany to discuss what a life of intimacy with the God of the Universe looks like. How do we develop a healthy prayer life in the secret place? How do we establish the rhythms of divine intimacy? And what are some practical tools and applications that we can use to cultivate an atmosphere to connect with God?

After hearing this episode, I created a secret place and time to meet with the Lord. I set the mood by playing instrumental worship music and the song “Walk With You”. It’s been life changing!!! I know that GOD is transforming my life and the lives of those I’ve been praying for. Thank you, M Bethany for your walk with God. Thank you, Pillar Church Leaders, for your obedience to God that led you to establish The Leader’s Cut.

I love this message. God wants to meet us, know us, talk to us. He wants intimacy and we don’t realize how much we need it. He knew we would which is why He says come. Dwelling is so very sweet.

THIS IS BLOWING MY MIND. It is changing and teaching me about GOD himself where our time with Him is concerned. I strive and struggle to be better at perfection and consistency but not once did I ever think God is pleased at just the fact I showed up...even if I fell asleep.. WHAT!?!🤯🤯🤯 I have done so much negative thought and self doubt because my efforts werent perfect and get so concerned and upset at myself at how my efforts were not better in prayer and would apologize to God at how I was.🤯.. Attendance not Perfection 🤯. Things have just shifted for me. Thank you Lord!!!

I call it covenant time (Holy Ghost School) the school where Holy Spirit teaches me, equips me, delivers, me, reshapes me, draws me closer to our Father Almighty God. Where I'm transformed for His purpose and beautified as a bride of Christ ahead of His coming. Powerful submission May God bless you and take you deeper and deeper in Him.

Followed the advice here this morning and started out with 'Walk With You.' I've been listening to the song since it came out, so I already know the lyrics by heart, but when I got to the chorus/bridge, it felt like instead of me singing to God, He was singing to me: "I want to know you Not just about you I want to be with you Not just around you I want to love you Not just be loved by you I want to walk with you And talk with you I want to hear you speaking And feel you breathing" It threw me off because one of my main struggles is feeling like I'm "bothering" God when I talk to him. I unintentionally developed a very soldierly mindset regarding both my natural parents which I still project onto God without meaning to. It's a performance-based, 'Tell me what to do, and I'll come back for evaluation once I'm done' mindset. So, to feel like God was turning the song around on me was both supernatural sweet and terribly foreign for me. He's been doing this with several songs lately. I'm trying to learn to relax and linger, but it's taking a lot of unlearning for me. Thank you both for this springboard into God's presence🤍

Michael, I’m doing the challenge. I made a playlist actually with Walk With You, Fill the Room, Set My Eyes and He Is Lord. I listen to those four songs everyday, throughout the day BUT SIRRRR, FILL THE ROOM takes me out every 👏🏾 time 👏🏾 👏🏾. I always cry. Happy, joyful tears because I feel Him filling my room aka my heart ♥️ everyday I stay consistent with seeking Him. Beautiful. Beautiful.

Any typos, I’m sorry❤Y’all got some oil in this one. I’m over here crying. Overwhelmed with emotions that came out of nowhere. Well I know where they come from. I’m just shocked to why it’s hitting me when I’m not the one that’s dealing with the loss. My coworker/dear friend who I look to as an Uncle, his wife passed away last week; 53yrs old bruuuuh. I’ve been praying everyday since. Ive been digesting the Word surrounding grief and today I had a holy moment at work like God is so good. But why am I being hit with this emotion?! Ok if you’ve made it this far then here is why: as I’m watching this I get hit with what I told my coworker about his last name which means Face of God then I got a picture of his wife looking at him as she dying then hit me like a brick that her looking at her husband was looking at the “face of God”…ahhhhhh I’m bout to scream 😱

This helped me so much. It really took the pressure off my secret place time. If I had fallen asleep, I'd be furious with myself that I had esteemed the Lord so lightly. I was taking things way more serious than God - never a good thing. I just need to continue to be faithfully present and let God be God when it comes to shaping me. Thanks

It really hit me when you were talking about the revelation and him standing over your bed. I paused to read psalm 139, but I don't get it, where that's in there. The first or second night I missed using my prayer closet after over a week of consiste and rhythm, I just kept setting a figure with fire for eyes at the end of my bed. I just prayed and ignored it, but this reminded me of it.

God works uniquely for every person, because He knows what work best for each of us. In my case, I would pray to God and ask Him... "God I would love to just be with you, could you spare us an intimate moment one of these days, please? Just the two of us". He always showed up at the best time, and we had fruitful quality time together
