Be Still.

Psalm 46:10

Learning to be still before God is an important skill we should all learn.
There is a time to be still.
Ecclesiastes 3:1

Stillness can be an evidence of our faith that God is at work in our lives.
Restlessness and impatience are often strategies the enemy uses to frustrate us.
Anxiety is a tactic the enemy uses to gain an advantage over us.
Philippians 4:6

Stillness is the outcome of peace in our heart.
We need to be still from time to time to remain sane in this hectic world.
Stillness is an aspect of confidence.
 Confidence is necessary for exploits, achievements and victory.
In the place of stillness and solitude we learn to think straight and see clearly.
Confidence is a part of our faith.
Faith is an absolute confidence and trust in God.
This means that stillness is part of our faith and should be employed in our journey of life.

Stillness is needed to convert what we hear to faith in our hearts.
Hebrews 4:2
To be still is to not run ahead of God.
Being still is learning not to take certain steps until the Lord has spoken or given a signal.
1 Samuel 30:1-8

David was a master warrior, he understood being still before God.
Stillness will require discipline on our part but the outcome will be worth it.
The art of stillness and solitude is an art the church of God has to regain.
It has been lost  to many eastern religions who teach their followers how to meditate, be still and connect with nature or the universe.

Being still is necessary for meditating on God's word and the scriptures.
Bing still is necessary to hearing God.
Being still is necessary for converting knowledge to wisdom.
In the place of stillness we receive ideas, inspiration, strategies and plans.
Proverbs 8:12

To be still is to wait on God. God gives strength to those who wait on Him. So stillness brings strength.
Isaiah 40:31
Being still is allowing God to work things out in our favor.
Spend time being still before God in prayer, His word and receiving from Him.
When you've done all you need to do, be still and see God work for you!

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18

The Importance Of The Anointing

Acts 10:38 The anointing is the presence of the Holy Spirit with a person. The anointing speaks, the anointing directs, and the anointing teaches people what they need to know and do. 1 John 2:27 You need the anointing. You can grow in the anointing. It is also possible to depart from the anointing. The anointing won't depart from you but you can depart from the anointing. You should remain in Him. It is worth it investing time to understand the your anointing, growing in your anointing and obeying the anointing. As you get to know a person better by spending time with them, so it is with the anointing in your life. With the anointing, you can't go wrong. The anointing strategically positions you in God's kingdom and in life. Jesus was full of the Holy Spirit. Colossians 2:9 Jesus had the anointing when He was here on earth. Jesus is our example of what our life can be when we have the anointing. Hebrews 12:2 Jesus knew His purpose. Luke 2:49 Jesus

Navigating A New Year

 Isaiah  42:16 Our text passage above shows us God is the one who shows us the path to take and leads us in new directions. Your path matters to God. The way you you choose to take is important to God. Your steps are seen by God and ordered by God. Psalm 37:23 The year ahead of you matters to God too. Luke 13:8-9 Each year God has given you the grace to witness, experience, and journey through is another opportunity to be fruitful for God. God wants you to make the most of the year ahead of you to His glory. Human beings do not always know the way and path to go, we can be limited in wisdom. History shows we do not always make the best choices. The year ahead of us will require knowing the way to go, having the wisdom to make the best decisions and choices. Deuteronomy 30:19 To successfully navigate the year we need to stay in God.. To navigate is to find your way through, it is following the right path to a specific destination.
