The Secret Place of the Most High
There is a dwelling place you can enter,
where you begin to walk in the Spirit and not in the flesh.
There is an abiding place where emotional turmoil loses its grip, where the chains of pride, anger, and hopelessness break, and the deep pain of the soul gives way to healing.
There is a secret place where you are hidden from the enemy and strengthened by the power of God’s Spirit in prayer.
“Because you have made the Lord, who is your refuge,
even the Most High, your dwelling place,
no evil shall befall you…
He shall keep you in all your ways.”
— Psalm 91:9–10 (KJV)
He who dwells in this secret place will find a treasure- a peace that remains, a trust that endures, and a life anchored in the presence of the Most High.
Hear My Soul Speak is the second book in the trilogy that began with Shadow of My Soul – a continuation of the call to know God deeply and hear Him clearly.
This 25-day devotional invites you into stillness, where the noise of life fades and the presence of God becomes real. As Scripture unfolds the revelation of the One who first loved you, reflection becomes a return to rest for your soul—a release of unhindered prayers and transparent conversations between your soul and the Spirit. Each day draws you into deeper discernment, inner healing, and freedom from the struggles that once held you captive.
Whether you’re healing from old wounds, seeking clarity in your calling, or longing to hear God’s voice more clearly, this devotional will equip you to discern the Spirit, confront the soul, and respond with a voice anchored in truth.
Every page draws you closer to the heart of God –where love restores identity, surrender births strength, and intimacy becomes the language of transformation.
Hear My Soul Speak is an awakening— a call to return, to listen, and to walk again in covenant love.
