- "But when you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and pray to your Father in private."
This week, we sit down with our friend Michael Bethany to discuss what a life of intimacy with the God of the Universe looks like. How do we develop a healthy prayer life in the secret place? How do we establish the rhythms of divine intimacy? And what are some practical tools and applications that we can use to cultivate an atmosphere to connect with God?

I’m telling you, you know his songs come from a different place: intimacy with God. Two wonderful men of God, it’s dynamite. Thank you for this conversation.
I'm at work watching/ listening with intent. This is where I am. The way I just burst into tears when Michael started singing. My heart.
“The classroom for a Christian is the prayer room” 😮❤
Michael, it’s not even 10 minutes in. “People have gotten used to being hungry…” 😱 okay just cut me already 😂. This is good
After hearing this episode, I created a secret place and time to meet with the Lord. I set the mood by playing instrumental worship music and the song “Walk With You”. It’s been life changing!!!
I know that GOD is transforming my life and the lives of those I’ve been praying for.
Thank you, M Bethany for your walk with God. Thank you, Pillar Church Leaders, for your obedience to God that led you to establish The Leader’s Cut.
Wow! Did you do it the same time every day? I want to make sure I do it right haha
Beautiful
He’s not looking for perfection, he’s looking for presence. 🔥

Loving this conversation.❤
I went straight to your song and started crying.❤
🎤“The King of Kings, Who left His throne to save us here…He is Lord, He is Lord🎼✝️
Michael Bethany is one of our greatest treasures.
YESSSS!!!
This message literally changed my heart posture

I love this message. God wants to meet us, know us, talk to us. He wants intimacy and we don’t realize how much we need it. He knew we would which is why He says come. Dwelling is so very sweet.
At my desk at work crying as he sang. Thank you Lord for this conversation
This absolutely rocked me and how convicted I feel thinking that I have been spending Intimacy with God and I have really been giving him my spare time….GOD FORGIVE ME…I WILL DO BETTER ❤️🙏🏾
I’m like Preston right now. I cannot sit still in my seat 😂😂😂😂😂. Omg!!!
Michael literally drops 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Mannnn the overwhelming amount of gems!! This one will be on repeat!♥️🙏🏽🙌🏽
The Father gave me a love letter through this!!
So good. Thank you 🔥
THIS IS BLOWING MY MIND. It is changing and teaching me about GOD himself where our time with Him is concerned. I strive and struggle to be better at perfection and consistency but not once did I ever think God is pleased at just the fact I showed up...even if I fell asleep.. WHAT!?!🤯🤯🤯 I have done so much negative thought and self doubt because my efforts werent perfect and get so concerned and upset at myself at how my efforts were not better in prayer and would apologize to God at how I was.🤯.. Attendance not Perfection 🤯. Things have just shifted for me. Thank you Lord!!!
Thanks for this. I thought I was doin somethin wrong, falling asleep. I thought i was suppose to hear Him every time. This was encouraging THANK YOU
Set a place, set a time, set a rythmn... with God.
I call it covenant time (Holy Ghost School) the school where Holy Spirit teaches me, equips me, delivers, me, reshapes me, draws me closer to our Father Almighty God. Where I'm transformed for His purpose and beautified as a bride of Christ ahead of His coming.
Powerful submission May God bless you and take you deeper and deeper in Him.
Controlled the algorithm for me 🙌🏼
This podcast continues to bless my life and spiritual growth. Thank you for your obedience to God. God bless you.
These are cheat codes for real! What a blessing🥰
Thank you for this....May God bless you abundantly
21:01 oh, oh, oh, that just broke the resistance to “do a prayer time”! I just need to show up! Thank you for sharing that. 💛💛💛💛
Followed the advice here this morning and started out with 'Walk With You.' I've been listening to the song since it came out, so I already know the lyrics by heart, but when I got to the chorus/bridge, it felt like instead of me singing to God, He was singing to me:
"I want to know you
Not just about you
I want to be with you
Not just around you
I want to love you
Not just be loved by you
I want to walk with you
And talk with you
I want to hear you speaking
And feel you breathing"
It threw me off because one of my main struggles is feeling like I'm "bothering" God when I talk to him. I unintentionally developed a very soldierly mindset regarding both my natural parents which I still project onto God without meaning to. It's a performance-based, 'Tell me what to do, and I'll come back for evaluation once I'm done' mindset. So, to feel like God was turning the song around on me was both supernatural sweet and terribly foreign for me. He's been doing this with several songs lately. I'm trying to learn to relax and linger, but it's taking a lot of unlearning for me.
Thank you both for this springboard into God's presence🤍
“Preston’s life of intimacy is contagious.” - Michael Bethany
Facts! You two are amazing! Thank you to the both of you for your words of wisdom, encouragement and challenging us!
Yes! I proclaim and confirm. Consistent time with God in scripture and prayer will transform your life. Don't just listen to this one. Do it!!!
William Augusto! My kids beg to put it on for bedtime, and we do the same! Lol! This word is just so so good
This blessed me so so much 🙏🏽
Thank You! God bless you both
The commitment to presence. That part.
Oh yeah. This will be watched again. I’m not prepared. No pencil ✏️ No paper 📄. Jesus!! My wins that are without God is still failure…omg
I want God to feel pursued by me……my my my
Bruhhhh!! “There’s no separate bible for preachers” & “there’s no separate God for pastors”!!!! RIGHT! 💯
Michael, I’m doing the challenge. I made a playlist actually with Walk With You, Fill the Room, Set My Eyes and He Is Lord. I listen to those four songs everyday, throughout the day BUT SIRRRR, FILL THE ROOM takes me out every 👏🏾 time 👏🏾 👏🏾. I always cry. Happy, joyful tears because I feel Him filling my room aka my heart ♥️ everyday I stay consistent with seeking Him. Beautiful. Beautiful.
I needed this!!
THE way I have been convicted this morning!!! It was nothing but the Holy Spirit leading me to this conversation this morning. I’ve felt like He’s been telling me to be still and get in His presence ONLY, this was confirmation.
Hey POTC fam…. This was so good and I much needed conversation! I’m learning to feed my soul with Gods presence
This was perfect.
amen!
Amazing podcast Preston I’m learning a lot. Needed🙏
👉🏼🅱️
This helped me so much. It really took the pressure off my secret place time. If I had fallen asleep, I'd be furious with myself that I had esteemed the Lord so lightly. I was taking things way more serious than God - never a good thing. I just need to continue to be faithfully present and let God be God when it comes to shaping me. Thanks
The formula is to seek God, and that seeking looks different for everyone but leads us all into the unity of the Spirit. In the end. Which lead to his presence. Praise God!
"If I can't see you frequently enough I can't trust you with my secrets" 🎯💯‼️
The want for God to feel pursued by us is so wild to me. He wants relationship with us so desperately that He paid the ultimate price. Thank you Preston & Michael, this was beautiful.
Any typos, I’m sorry❤Y’all got some oil in this one. I’m over here crying. Overwhelmed with emotions that came out of nowhere. Well I know where they come from. I’m just shocked to why it’s hitting me when I’m not the one that’s dealing with the loss. My coworker/dear friend who I look to as an Uncle, his wife passed away last week; 53yrs old bruuuuh. I’ve been praying everyday since. Ive been digesting the Word surrounding grief and today I had a holy moment at work like God is so good. But why am I being hit with this emotion?! Ok if you’ve made it this far then here is why: as I’m watching this I get hit with what I told my coworker about his last name which means Face of God then I got a picture of his wife looking at him as she dying then hit me like a brick that her looking at her husband was looking at the “face of God”…ahhhhhh I’m bout to scream 😱
So sorry for your loss. Praying for the peace of God for you during this hard time.
Thank you Jesus...from Kenya.
I thought my relationship with Jesus was great...serving in ministry with the oil of Heaven and God was working...I'm a month out into incorporating these principles and it has revamped my quiet time and the oil is flowing! I am ETERNALLY grateful to you two for this!
This is amazing. I can relate so much. I feel convicted as well. It is absolutely beautiful. It is true. The more you spend time with God, the more he means to me. I cannot without Him.
Very good❤ thank you
"God like a best friend will not intrust secrets to someone he can't trust." Maaaaan this here! Now I love spending time with the Lord but what I'm really loving about this message so far it's about the Rhythm and the faithfulness
This is so convicting thank you for this cut 😢
I’m in awe with so much wisdom. “The commitment God asked me to make was not to perfection, it was for presence.” Prayer is not regular conversation, it’s supernatural conversation.” This is mind blowing; Wowww!
Thank you Michael and Preston.😊
Hey Preston had turned up when he said “quickie”😂😂😂🙌🏾🙌🏾🤧🤧🤧🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is why God created the Sabbath.
God works uniquely for every person, because He knows what work best for each of us. In my case, I would pray to God and ask Him... "God I would love to just be with you, could you spare us an intimate moment one of these days, please? Just the two of us". He always showed up at the best time, and we had fruitful quality time together
Every Word is try I’m just learning how to enjoy my time with God. Hope you guys don’t mind I’m stealing some of these good points.
I just want to say thank you so much the presence of the Lord the time in the intimacy what the Lord is like no other this much needed of all of us thank you
I needed this.... Thank you.
wowww this is gooddd 😭
❤
"But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed"🙏
I hope you know my heart 😂😂😂❤❤
This was soo beautiful and educational thanks for sharing 🙏🙌
It really hit me when you were talking about the revelation and him standing over your bed. I paused to read psalm 139, but I don't get it, where that's in there.
The first or second night I missed using my prayer closet after over a week of consiste and rhythm, I just kept setting a figure with fire for eyes at the end of my bed. I just prayed and ignored it, but this reminded me of it.
This was for me siiiir omgooosh thank you!!
Thank you for this timely episode.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
This is just too good 😭
My prayer, “Whatever you did in those guys, I want that too.” Thank you both for the inspiration. I’m asking God which book to read next. I finished reading the book of Ruth, and God showed me something new, different of what I had known from the story of Ruth. 🙏
Yessssss You can’t manufacture worship😭
I. Needed. This. Thank you Lord.
🔥🔥💨💨
❤❤❤❤
Amazing discussion! Thanks for this ministry!
💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖🙏
I would love to see the prayer room 🙏🏼
dm me on IG and I’ll shoot you a video. :)
Love this!! I will make that change! Questions; in this time abiding with Him, should it be separate from Bible study? And does it need to be the same every day?

Share your instrumental playlist please 😊❤
