Preface

It is the desire of every true Christian not only to know about the “hidden life,” but also to enter the portals and secret chambers that give access to the rich treasures of heaven. It is too often the case that those who take upon themselves the name of Christians plod along the way year after year with scarcely a realization of the presence and the power of God. They have never learned the secret of how to walk with God and to enjoy the sweet communion thereby afforded. There is, however, a plain pathway leading up to the very portals of this treasure-house, where the doors stand open wide before every pilgrim seeking to know the hidden mysteries within and to enjoy the rich blessings of the love of God.

“He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty,”* (Psalm 91:1) are precious and truthful words of the Psalmist. But just how to find this secret place and to enter therein, the anxious soul seeks to know. This little volume reveals the secret and points out the way whereby the life of a Christian may be a blessed one and all his pathway be strewn with roses, even though amidst many thorns. It shows how temptations are overcome and trials are superseded by victory, while the soul is enriched by the grace of God. The perusal of only a few pages will cause the reader to become conscious of the necessity of a closer walk with God, and will plant a desire in the heart, together with a determination, to know more of the deep things of God to be found in the hidden life.

With a fervent desire that every reader may receive a benefit and learn to know more about the blessings of the Christian life and continually enjoy the love of God, I remain,

Yours in Him,
Enoch E. Byrum
