INTRODUCTION
“Cether” is a Hebrew word translated as “secret place.” It literally means “to hide or be concealed.” Other words for a secret place include shelter, covering. or a dwelling place.
One who abides in the secret place of God dwells in a place of rest, lifted up above principalities and powers (Ephesians 1:20-21; 2:6). It is a place of His holy concealment in all things, where God reveals heavenly secrets to us.
How then can we enter the secret place and enjoy the benefits?
