In this impassioned sermon, Hesed Ojieh shares a personal testimony of being overwhelmed by demonic attacks, business failure, and spiritual defeat. Through persistent prayer, he recounts a divine revelation directing him to the "secret place" of the Most High—a spiritual realm where demons cannot reach, and where power, health, mercy, and the mantle of God are renewed. He emphasizes the biblical precedent of Jesus retreating to a hidden place, urging listeners to seek the altar as a gateway to this secret place, to abandon themselves before God, and to invoke the names Emmanuel and Jesus for mercy and empowerment. The message blends vivid prayer, repeated invocations, and a call for collective worship at the altar, promising that those who dwell in the secret place will abide under the shadow of the Almighty and experience glorification.

This individual told me, hallelujah, I have battled witches, I have battled warlocks, hallelujah. I was being defeated, and this individual shut down everything I was doing. Nothing was working out, nothing was working. My business was not working, nothing was working. I was there crying and praying until God began to show me. He said, son, come into the place. There's a place where demons can't touch you. There's a place where power is renewed. There is a place where health is renewed. There's a place where garment is renewed. There's a place where mantle speaks. There's a place where you are overshadowed, when the glory of God, the doxa of God, begins to fall on the bodies of mortal men. Emmanuel, I am here. Elikabaradu shapaladaba. Show me mercy. I'm on the floor. I'm on the altar. Grant me mercy, Jehovah. Immortal, invincible, in the mighty name of Jesus. In the mighty name of Jesus, I come before you. You said he that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide, shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Immortal, invincible, in the mighty name of Jesus. Emmanuel, Emmanuel, Emmanuel. Jesus, Jesus, Son of David. Jesus, show me mercy. Show me mercy in my life, in my life. Grant me mercy. Let the work of mercy— so this person shut down everything for 2 years. I was battling. I did not understand what was going on. Then God began to show me. He said, come into the secret place. There's a place where demons fear. If you look at the scriptures in the Gospels, Jesus has hidden himself from the 40 days and 40 nights on the mountain. When he came down off the mountain, he was led by the Spirit. He was led by the Spirit. There's a place where power is renewed. It's on the floor, it's on the altar. Do you have an altar? Do you have an altar? Would you join me on the altar? Would you join me on the altar? Just abandon before God. Just abandon before God. Hey, everything will stop. You see, he that dwells in the secret place of the Most High And I was there calling on his name, praying, praying, praying, calling on his name. Like this morning, I was calling on his name. Emmanuel, show me your power. Emmanuel, show me your presence. Emmanuel, I'm at the altar to seek you, to serve you, to seek you, to serve you. Jesus, I'm not here, Father, to ask of anything, but I'm here to lift up your name. You said if I lift you among men, hallelujah, you will Lift me up, Father, in the mighty name of Jesus. Be glorified, be glorified, be glorified.
