Ps.46:10[NIV, with emphasis] “Be still, and know that I am God.”

 God speaks to people who take the time to listen. When you still yourself, you are better able to listen and God is able to speak to you. He is able to breathe upon you. When the water is disturbed, it is almost impossible to see the bottom of the swimming pool. But when that same water is still, you can see through clearly.

God takes us to a new level [and He will continue to take us higher in Him in Jesus Name], but while we are getting into the flow of things, because we are humans, we get ruffled. It could be anxiety that throws us off course. Or anger that ticks us off and takes us off course. The question is - how does one attain that oneness with the Spirit of God in the place of waiting? I am going to share three things I do and if you deploy them, it will help you too.

The first thing I do is to calm down and regurgitate the Word. I speak [I confess] the Word of God. If you do not know Scriptures by heart, it is okay to write them down or read aloud directly from your Bible. Just speak God’s Word over yourself. In fact, sometimes I deliberately read scriptures in Yoruba [my local dialect] just to engage my mind and focus. I, like a lot of other people, think in English. My grand mother came to live with us when I was a teenager and anyone who spoke in Yoruba gets an extra piece of meat. Guess what happened? We all began to speak in Yoruba in one week, I think. So reciting Scripture in Yoruba forces my mind to think about the words; words about my God, His glory, His awesomeness, His power, His plans for me, and my life in Him.

Another thing I do is sing. The Holy Spirit is a singing Spirit. Have you noticed that sometimes you wake up with a song in your heart? Sometimes I get behind the keyboard and play and it ushers me into God’s Presence and I feel His hand upon me. A similar thing happened to Elisha in 2 Kings 3 [please read]. Three kings had gotten into trouble and they needed God’s help; so they reached out to Elisha. But anger detuned Elisha, so he asked for a minstrel [a musician]. The Bible says that as the minstrel began to play, the hand of the Lord came upon Elisha and he prophesied. Music [worship] is powerful.


Prayer [song]: Hallelujah (4x). I adore You (4x). Lord, I love You (4x). Amen!

THEME: You Can Create Whatever You Desire John 16:21-27 The instrument with which you exercise dominion over creation is your mouth.You can create whatsoever you desire by speaking that thing into existence.Whatever you say begins to exist in the spiritual form.Jesus said in John 6:63,"The words that I speak unto you,they are spirit,and they are life". In like manner,you create whatever you say and the things begin to exist in the spiritual form.What you create through words also have life and they continue to live until they find physical expression.  This is exactly what happens when you pray.The things you declare in prayer come alive and begin to exist in their spiritual form.They remain in that spiritual form until they are converted to their tangible equivalent through work. Jesus said,"until now you have asked nothing in My name.Ask,and you will receive,that your joy may be full" (John 16:24). Don't make the mistake of relaxing after you have pray...

Sin Stained...or Blood Washed?

This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.  (Hebrews 10:16-17) The Bible tells us that under Levitical law, an animal had to be offered every year to atone for the sins of the people. That word atone means "to cover" and it's used continually throughout the Old Testament. But let me tell you something exciting. It's never used in the New Testament. The Greek word used to describe what Jesus did for us on the cross is a different word altogether. It doesn't just mean "to cover"—it means "to remit; to do completely away with something." Do you know what that means? It means there is no longer a sin problem. Jesus solved it! When you made Him your Lord, He didn't just cover your sins, He put you into right-standing with God and re-created you by the Spirit of God a...

You Must Forgive Yourself Hebrews 12:1-11 You have heard quite a lot about forgiving those that have offended you – and that you must do. It happens often that the person you must really forgive is yourself. You may have committed an offence or a sin and your conscience has condemned you, just as the Holy Spirit has chastised you. You may also have repented of this sin, confessed it to God and resolved not to go back that way. But you discover that the heaviness, clouded vision, and the erosion of confidence occasioned by the sin you committed continue to weigh you down. At such moments, you need to make another type of confession to God in order to regain your liberty from the weight that holds you down. You have to confess your unbelief in His word that says, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). When you have genuinely repented of a sin and confessed it to God; and you have pleaded ...
