This is the place where one is taught to be humble by God and wear the robe of humility. We gain confidence in God as we worry less about the things of the world. Not even the Devil can steal our joy unless we give it to him. This is the place of movement where the Holy Spirit orders our steps and leads our lives. Our will, emotions, and heart become steadfast and at rest in Christ.
During the stay in this mansion, God will again test us. The tests will be both small and large and we will fail one and pass another and we will pass one and fail a different one. This is spiritual training ground of the soul. Peace becomes more a way of life as anxieties begin to fade and lose their grip on our lives. Our hearts are so filled with gratitude that we are constantly moved with thanksgiving to God.
This is the place where God is stretching my soul. One feels both comfort and distress, a sense of lost-ness and fearless excitement. Nor do you expect others to be traveling the same road here but it can feel very lonely at times. But what one discovers is becoming something that one has always been but has never none it before. It's like waking up to yourself and seeing yourself as if for the first time and nothing will be the same again.
