BE STILL AND KNOW THAT
I AM GOD

"His is not the author of confusion, but of peace…

1 Cor. 14:33

BECAUSE HE SAID IT, I KNOW IT’S TRUE

Therefore I shall stand still….

In Exodus 14:13-14, Moses told them to fear not and stand still and see the salvation of the Lord.  The Lord will fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.  Don’t allow the enemy to provoke you to say things that you know are wrong.  Hold your peace, let God fight the battle.  All you have to do is trust Him.  He will show up.

Stand still and hear what the Lord will command concerning you. (Num 9:8)  Don’t listen to any other voice but God’s while you are going through. His voice is the only one that can and will lead you out.  Friends mean well, but there are times when your friends get in the way of your being blessed.  If their advice is not of God, it will delay your blessing and extend your time in the fire. 

You need to pray.  Everyone don’t have to and shouldn’t know what you are going through. Ask the Lord to open your ears to receive His words and His words only. 

Stand still and consider the wondrous works of God…….. (Job 37:14)  Reflect on all the times when you thought
you weren’t going to make it and God showed up right on time.   Remember the house He blessed you with, the rent He paid, the car got for you, the job you needed, the time He went to court for you.  Remember? 

If there is a problem in your life, and you can’t seem to solve it. 
Take your hands off it!  Pray and stand still

If your husband or wife has left you and you know God gave them to you. 
Pray and stand still

If you are sick and the doctor has given up.  Don’t give up on God. 
Pray and stand still

Don’t look to the left, don’t look to the right,
but look to the hills from which cometh your help. 
Stand still

Waiting on God is not always easy.  He never said that it would be.  
But if you allow Him to work it out for you it, you will come through the test sooner.   
Don’t move until you know it is the Lord guiding you. 

He will speak peace to soothe your weary soul. 
Soon you will see every trial unfold. 
Stand still

God has not forgotten you;
He knows exactly where you are and what you are going through. 
Stand still

God is our refuge, a very present help in time of trouble.
Stand still

Eph 6:13. And then having done all… STAND.  STAND with the full Armour of God on. 
STAND UP and bless the Lord your God forever and ever   (Neh: 9:5)

There is nothing too hard for God.

Stand Still and see the salvation of the Lord.

GOD’S PEACE

And the Peace of God, which passeth all understanding,
shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. (Phil 4:7)

The Lord doesn’t want you to worry about your enemies.  That’s what the devil wants you to do.  As long as he has your mind focused on him, you can’t do what God needs you to do.  Apostle Paul said the God of Peace will soon crush Satan under you feet (Rom 16:20). If you can maintain peace during warfare, you send a mighty blow to satanic oppression and fear.  Peace is spirit power.  Your first step in having authority over the enemy is having peace in the midst of the storm.

Do you remember the storm that Jesus was in?  He was asleep on the ship, and the waves began to beat against the boat. The disciples became afraid, and wanted Him to wake up. How could He sleep through a storm like this?  Didn’t He care? These same disciples had seen Jesus perform many miracles, yet when the storm hit they forgot who was on board.  Have you forgotten who’s on board?

So it is with your life now, you believe on Him for salvation, you trust Him for the forgiveness of sins, you look to Him to supply your daily needs, but when a sudden storm hits and everything is falling apart, we forget who is the captain of our ship. 

Let’s look at how Jesus handles the situation.  He didn’t fight against the storm, neither did He fear it, but He spoke to it with authority, and subdued it with His perfect peace. Speak the Word.

As I sit here working on this newsletter, my feet are resting on a footstool, the Lord gave me a word; God says to sit at His right hand while He makes thy enemies a footstool for your feet. (Psalm110: 1-2).  I believe the Lord has already made your enemies your footstool. You just need to walk in the knowledge of it. Sit, rest knowing that God has already made your enemies your footstool.  How awesome is that?  That is how He wants us to see our enemies, as our footstools.   I don’t know about you but I like resting my feet on my footstool.  Surely you are tired of the enemy walking all over you.  Put them under your feet. 

Rest your feet on them!  Now, don’t that feel good!

The Battle

Let’s take a quick look at what you are going through.  It is not a battle against the people you work with, your neighbors, your friends or even your family.  But, you are battling against principalities, in other words Satan and his camp.   You see it’s not you that Satan is made with; it’s the Christ within you that he hates.  When you were out in the world doing your thing, he didn’t care because you were doing what he wanted you to do. However, the moment you decided to follow Jesus, all hell broke loose to turn you around.    To be successful in this battle, you have go to know the Word of God.  That is the only way to win.

God says don’t fear.  For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds.  We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. (II Cor.10; 4-5).  You have the Spirit of God fighting this battle.  All you have to do is change your clothes and put on the Amour of God.  Put on the whole Amour of God., that ye may be able to stand against the attacks of the enemy (your designer clothes won’t help you now).  Stand with your loins girdled with the truth, put on the breastplate of righteousness.  Kick off those designer original shoes and have your feet covered with the readiness of the gospel of peace.  Hold the shield of faith in front of you to block all those darts the enemy will throw your way, and cover your head with the helmet of salvation (yes, we have to get our hair messed up), and finally lift of the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God to let the enemy know you are not running any more.  Why are you worried about your back? Remember He said that His Goodness and Mercy would follow you all the days of your life.  Now you face him head on, toe to toe and make him your footstool. 

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!  Take authority over every demonic hindrance in your finances, or in any area of your life.  Render them helpless, powerless, inoperative, and ineffective to hinder any area of your life in the name of Jesus!  AMEN!

QUESTIONING ONE

I pray that this reaches the person who had the question.

When you don’t feel my presence, don’t feel that is something that you have done wrong.  You feel as though you are not going forward in your walk with me.  The enemy wants you to think that.  He wants you to doubt you ever heard my voice. Know that I am allowing you this time to rest in me while I prepare your physical body for the next mission.  Don’t worry that you aren’t kept busy all the time.  Know that all the time you are with me and the life that you are living is being smiled upon. Take this time to stay in prayer with me, to worship me, to learn of me.  Be patient.

While you wait in silence, or what you call silence, is my chance to give you new life.  Some things take time for me to show my children.  Some things my children won’t be afraid of.  If I gave you what you are asking for on your time, you wouldn’t be ready.  Use this time to meditate with me.

Be patient.  Don’t call it wasted time.  Be patient and I will turn all your reversal into rehearsals for my Kingdom.  Rest in this.  What you think is a backward move, is actually necessary in the process. I am in control of your time. I see all your moves; I know all your thoughts, all your ways. 

For I know the plans that I have you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future (Jer. 29:11).  Just as you trusted me in the past to work in you, please trust me now.  I have not changed.  

Be patient I will bring to pass all that I have promised.

IN CLOSING:

You must know that I love and you careth for you. 
I have not forgotten you; I know exactly where you are and what you are going through. 

 BE BLESSED,

 Shearon
