The Secrets of the Lord

Through diligent research and searching the scriptures, this book has discovered six secrets of the Lord. These secrets bring us into closer relationship

The Secret(s) of the Lord is about the aspects of God that bring us into a closer relationship with Him, and those things that we should do to receive the benefits of His covenant with us. It explores six topics in particular: Fear the Lord; Praise; Worship; Tithing and Giving; Prayer; and Fasting. These six things are considered secrets because we think we know and understand them. Yet, there are things about each topic that we still do not grasp without deeper study. This book provides more understanding on these topics. Beside being afraid of His might and power, to fear the Lord also means to reverence and worship Him. We must understand what it means to reverence and worship Him in order to understand what it means to fear Him. Many churches practice what they call "praise and worship." Yet, these are not the same and are not practiced together in the Bible. They are two separate and distinct acts in the Bible. In this book we learn what is praise and what is worship; when and how to praise and worship. Read my book to dig deeper into what the Lord has given me.
