“Within you is a divine fortress, and that divine fortress defends, protects, and fights for you. Enter into that innermost realm, for it is there you may overcome outward surroundings. The secret and internal love which the believer has towards His Lord and which the Lord has toward him has four aspects to it. The first is illumination, which is an experiential knowledge of the greatness of God and an experiential knowledge of the believer’s nothingness. The second is an inflamed love, a desire to be consumed with divine fire. The third is a peaceful and joyful rest. The believer seems to totally rest, as one abiding in divine and loving arms. The fourth is an inward filling of the Lord’s power. The believer is replenished and filled with God. The believer no longer seeks,desires or wills anything except the greatness and the infinite good, which is His God.” —–An excerpt from the book, “100 Days in the Secret Place” by Gene Edwards who quoted Miguel De Molinos (A Spanish priest in the 1600’s)
