A call to stillness
In this season, there is a call to stillness. Changes and transitions, uprooting and replanting are happening in this hour, which can be very unsettling. We want to know we hear the voice of God and that we heard correctly.
In the last couple of weeks, I’ve had a prompting to read a chapter in my book, The Fullness In Him where I talk about being still.
The sentences that were highlighted are the following: “His stillness silences the deafening storm, opening the ears of our understanding.” And “The only reason He wants us to be still is so we may hear His voice. In hearing his voice, we may hear His plans for us and His instruction.”
It is a time to remove distractions, remove all other voices and get focused on Peace. It is imperative we hear His plans as He is positioning His people for His purposes to see great wonders and expand His kingdom.
Before this can happen, we must be still and know He is God. We must be still and allow Him to be God, the One who sees every soul, the One who sees every tree, the one who knows the whole earth. We are so limited to our own understanding, thinking we may have amazing plans, yet He is the One with bigger and better plans which we are unable to walk out without the stillness.
In the stillness He silences every lie and every fear. In the stillness we must allow Him to heal the broken places, the places we have not wanted to look at and the places we have not yet allowed Him in. As He heals we become pure vessels strong in Him, not holding back and not giving fear any space.
It is in the stillness we will be filled with perfect love, we will be filled with perfect peace which surpasses all understanding, and we will once again hear the living waters trickling within our souls.
In the stillness we come alive with joy and expectancy for His plans as we lay down our own.
It is a call to hear His voice declare victory over your life and lead us exactly where He wants us to be.
Heed the call to stillness, you will only be revived, refreshed and realigned to your original creation.
“Dwell in the stillness of silence, the sound of silence—this is where peace resides!”
