David Wilkerson emphasizes the profound truth found in Psalms 31 about the 'secret of thy presence,' asserting that true strength is derived from drawing near to the Lord. He explains that the closer we are to Jesus, the stronger we become, and that our secret life of prayer is essential for receiving daily strength. Wilkerson highlights the historical significance of the ark as a symbol of God's presence and warns that the devil fears a believer's nearness to Christ, striving to distract us from prayer. He encourages believers to maintain a constant awareness of God's presence through unceasing prayer and quiet whispers of thanksgiving throughout the day.

Mike Bickle emphasizes the significance of Ephesians 3:14-19, highlighting the need for believers to pray for strength in their inner man to experience the fullness of God's presence and love. He explains that this prayer is a pathway to understanding the vastness of God's love, which surpasses knowledge, and encourages believers to seek a deeper relationship with God through prayer, obedience, and the Holy Spirit. Bickle outlines a four-stage progression in the Christian experience, urging the congregation to pursue strength and intimacy with God to fully comprehend His love and purpose for their lives.
