En Gedi was the cave that David hid in, while fleeing from Saul, in times of persecution. It became his place of refuge, safety, comfort, and dwelling with the Lord. It is the secret place.
God led me into 2024 with the focus of “Daily Walking & Daily Surrender”. I found that for every day that I walked with God, no matter how different they are, I always end up back in En Gedi.
This podcast was a call by God to share my secret place. A call to invite people into my home. A call for fellowship beyond church walls. So make yourselves at home. I’m so glad you’re here! From your host, Hazel.
Being a servant for God requires hearing Him, not just for yourself, but for others; a greater level of faith and obedience. But He is all-knowing and all-present, so let’s not dismiss the whispers, even if it’s something new and different to the norm. He causes everything to add up and work together!
God knows what His people need and He wants to use you to deliver it. He will make things happen one way or the other. The question is, do you want to be the vessel He uses?
“But God now unveils these profound realities to us by the Spirit. Yes, he has revealed to us his inmost heart and deepest mysteries through the Holy Spirit, who constantly explores all things. After all, who can really see into a person’s heart and know his hidden impulses except for that person’s spirit? So it is with God. His thoughts and secrets are only fully understood by his Spirit, the Spirit of God.”
1 Corinthians 2:10-11 TPT
“Who do you think Paul is, anyway? Or Apollos, for that matter? Servants, both of us—servants who waited on you as you gradually learned to entrust your lives to our mutual Master. We each carried out our servant assignment. I planted the seed, Apollos watered the plants, but God made you grow. It’s not the one who plants or the one who waters who is at the center of this process but God, who makes things grow. Planting and watering are menial servant jobs at minimum wages. What makes them worth doing is the God we are serving. You happen to be God’s field in which we are working.”

19. Heart Abandoned
Trade your personal agendas for a heart that is abandoned. This is the only way to discover fullness of life and freedom in the Lord.
“Let me emphasize this: As you yield to the dynamic life and power of the Holy Spirit, you will abandon the cravings of your self-life. When your self-life craves the things that offend the Holy Spirit you hinder him from living free within you! And the Holy Spirit’s intense cravings hinder your self-life from dominating you! So then, the two incompatible and conflicting forces within you are your self-life of the flesh and the new creation life of the Spirit.”
Galatians 5:16-17 TPT
Are you willing to let the Holy Spirit hinder you?
“Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.”
Matthew 16:24-25 NKJV
What has chasing after the things of this world done for you?
“No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon [money, possessions, fame, status, or whatever is valued more than the Lord].”
Matthew 6:24 AMP
“If the Spirit is the source of our life, we must also allow the Spirit to direct every aspect of our lives.”
Galatians 5:25 TPT
The upside-down kingdom doesn't make sense from the worldly perspective. But I've found that Your way is better so let not my plans hinder Yours God.

18. You’re A Competent Minister
The way that we spend time with God directly impacts what we can do for His kingdom and how effective we are in ministry. Spending time with Him causes us to be surefooted (confident and competent), as we stay in step with Him at all times.
I see serving/ministry/moving in the calling as a time where I simply report for duty “Here I am for You to use God”. This causes His yoke to be easy and His burden to be light because I’ve realised that it has always about Him and never about me. The outcome of our labour is based on His sovereignty and not our own abilities.
“For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.””
Matthew 11:30 NKJV
“Yet we don’t see ourselves as capable enough to do anything in our own strength, for our true competence flows from God’s empowering presence. He alone makes us adequate ministers who are focused on an entirely new covenant. Our ministry is not based on the letter of the law but through the power of the Spirit. The letter of the law kills, but the Spirit pours out life.”
2 Corinthians 3:5-6 TPT
How are you spending time with God and how do you think God can use that to overflow onto others?
