God Revealed This Secret Prayer to Me

This summary, optimized for Google’s SEO standards, is based on a profound sermon inspired by Kathryn Kuhlman, revealing a revolutionary approach to prayer that moves beyond monologue to divine dialogue. The secret lies not in reciting new words, but in adopting a posture of surrendered, active listening to hear God’s direct, personal instruction, known as the “God says me” moment. This shift is the single most transformative step toward a victorious, miracle-working life.

The Fatal Flaw in Prayer: Monologue vs. Dialogue

Many believers engage in a form of prayer that is merely a monologue—a one-way transmission where they pour out their needs, fears, sicknesses, and financial burdens, and then conclude, missing the essential step of receiving a word in return. This practice is insufficient; it leaves the believer carrying the very same burden they brought, having only “touched the hem of the garment” but remaining veiled from the Holy of Holies where the glory dwells.

The entire victorious Christian life is founded not on our ability to speak to God, but on our capacity to hear Him speak to us. Treating God as a “heavenly vending machine for our requests” or a “silent, unfeeling wall” causes the relationship to wither and die.

Phase 1: The Revolutionary Step to Listening

The first, most fundamental, and revolutionary step in this secret prayer is to stop speaking. We must deliberately, willfully, and with great spiritual discipline close our mouths and open our hearts.

Quieting the Static

God is not silent; He has spoken since the moment He spoke light into darkness. The problem is the noise within us—the “static of the world,” the clamor of social media, and the “endless chattering anxiety of our own thoughts” that drown out the frequency of heaven.

The “greatest obstacle to hearing the voice of God is not the devil… it is the noise within”.

Adopting the Posture of Expectancy

The secret is a new posture—that of active, expectant, humble listening, mirroring young Samuel’s readiness: “Speak Lord, for thy servant heareth“.

We must come to God, lay our needs at His feet, and say: “I am going to be still… I am listening. What do you want to say to me about this?”. This is where prayer ceases to be a duty and becomes a divine adventure—a direct counsel with the King. It takes “audacious, mountain-moving faith” to truly believe the Creator is eager to respond with a “living and active” word.

Phase 2: The Practical Work of Surrender

You cannot hear a whisper in a hurricane. Therefore, the vital, practical work of this secret prayer is the preparation of the soil through conscious, willful surrender.

Laying Down the Will

Many come to listen, but their hearts are a “raging tempest of anxiety” and “predetermined outcomes,” having already written the script for what they want God to say. When God’s voice does not conform to their script, they miss it entirely, believing He has remained silent.

True surrender involves a conscious, verbal release of your grip on the very thing you are praying about, including your plan and your timeline.

• Supreme Faith: Surrender is not defeat, but a prayer of supreme faith, saying, “I trust your heart so completely and I trust your wisdom so absolutely that I am willing to let go of my own”.
• The Painful Death: This is the death of your own will, a painful process the “flesh will fight tooth and nail”. There is no victory or resurrection power without the surrender of the cross, following the pattern of Christ: “Nevertheless not my will but thine be done“.

Quieting Condemnation

The internal noise is often a “cacophony of condemnation” (“you’re not good enough,” “God would never speak to you”).

• Proclaiming Identity: We must silence the accuser by proclaiming our identity in Christ. Stand upon the truth that you are “cleansed, forgiven, loved,” and have the “absolute right to come boldly before the throne of grace”.
• Magnifying God: By recounting His goodness and meditating on His faithfulness, our problems, fears, and self-obsession “shrink down to their proper size”.

This disciplined positioning is not a one-time event but a daily, moment-by-moment discipline where we create “little sanctuaries of silence” throughout the day.

Phase 3: The Revelation of “God Says Me”

When the heart is stilled in surrendered silence, the believer is ready to receive the heart of the secret—the “God says me” moment.

Unshakeable Knowing

“God says me” is a deep, internal, unshakable knowing that bypasses the rational mind and settles into the spirit “with the force of absolute truth”.

• Divine Nudge: It is the sacred impression, the divine nudge, or a scripture that illuminates with such fresh light that it feels written for that moment.
• Present Reality: This “God says me” moment is the bridge that carries the timeless truth of the Bible from the page and plants it as a living seed into the soil of your situation. It is the difference between quoting a verse and proclaiming a present reality.

This knowing is what guided Abraham, Peter, and David—they had a “God says me” moment in their spirit, and that was enough.

The Pivot Point: Acting in Faith

Many miss the treasure because doubt rushes in (“Was that God or was it just me?”).

• Faith is the Currency: We must have the audacity to stamp that impression with faith and declare, “This is not my imagination… God says me“. Faith is the currency of the kingdom, released when we believe what God has said is truer than the problems standing before us.
• Proclaiming Provision: When you look at financial ruin and say, “God says me, my God shall supply all my need,” you are announcing a divine provision.

Phase 4: Identity and Partnership (The Core Content)

When you truly dial into the frequency of “God says me,” His primary focus is not your circumstance, but the “who”—the rebuilding of your internal foundation.

The Declaration of Identity

The most transformative thing you will ever hear from the throne of grace is a declaration of your identity. God bypasses the what (the problem) and goes straight to the who (your identity in Him).

• New Name, New Nature: Where the world screams “failure” and “victim,” God speaks a new, true, eternal name over you: “You are my beloved child,” “You are chosen,” “You are more than a conqueror”.
• The Master Key: You will always ultimately act in accordance with who you believe yourself to be. If you receive this truth, you stop being a beggar outside the palace and become the child of the king walking in the authority of your birthright.
• Doing Born from Being: The doing is born from the being. We burn out trying to perform tasks for God without first receiving our identity from God. Service then becomes the “joyful, spontaneous overflow of a heart that knows it is loved”.

From Petitioner to Partner

Once the matter of identity is settled, the relationship shifts from subject-to-monarch to partner and collaborator.

• Shared Secrets: God invites us into His counsel, fulfilling the scripture: “The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him”.
• Strategic Intercession: Prayer transforms from a desperate plea (“Oh God, please save them”) into focused, targeted, strategic intercession (“Father, what are you already doing in his life? Show me how to pray”).
• Marching Orders: We stop asking God to remove the problem and start asking Him to reveal His purpose within it. We receive our marching orders and strategy for the battle, making our prayers sharp, powerful, and effective because they align with His infinite wisdom.
