Unshakable Faith~ I stand silently to listen for the one I love, waiting as long as it takes for the Lord to rescue me. For God alone has become my Savior. 2 He alone is my safe place; his wrap-around presence always protects me. For he is my champion defender; there’s no risk of failure with God. So why would I let worry paralyze me, even when troubles multiply around me? Psalm 62:1-2 The Passion Translation
God Alone a Refuge from Treachery and Oppression
What is it like to be silent in the midst of roaring chaos, to decide to toggle the switch of the noise and clamor of the world off at the time when it is the loudest and you feel it needs desperately to be reacted to by your voice of truth? God has asked me to be silent for 7 days, to bow all of my life to all of Him in complete trust and obedience. Silently Submit. Shut down the worldly viewpoint and open up my heart wide to Him, to His Kingdom Perspective, to His Word of Truth. This is so difficult, because this is not the most normal of weeks in the life of our world, in fact it is the most inconvenient time ever to be silent. Evil is in full out war against us as the “Cancel God” and freedom smashers are in full swing coming out against our world as they try to push their evil will on all people. I don’t understand God’s ways, but I will obey Him. This is Your world, Father God, not mine, Yours. I will listen up to You and You alone, let be, be still and know You are God of this world, the Creator of it, the Maintainer of it and the final say of it. I choose to trust You and You alone.
How long will you attack a man? You shall be slain, all of you, like a leaning wall and a tottering fence. 4 They only consult to cast him down from his high position; They delight in lies; They bless with their mouth, But they curse inwardly. Selah! Psalm 62:3-4
Listen Up To The One True Voice
I will listen up to that still small voice, a light in the darkness that says: This is the way, walk in it. I will experience what it is like to shut down the all-chaotic voices for seven days and open my heart wide, my ears wide to Your Voice. I know without a doubt, I will hear and learn to hear Your Voice above the clamor of the world, out of the many shouting, angry voices of my viewpoint who are desperately trying to silence You, Lord God, the Voice Of Truth, which they can never extinguish! Then we have all the voices of those who are desperately trying to figure it all out by speculating, assuming and theorizing. Of course, my least favorite of the voices clamoring chaotically to a loud roar, are all those who are trying to tell everyone what to do, like they think they know what they don’t really know.
Stretching Past The Cultural Chaos
I know as I black out all these voices, I will learn to hear Your Voice first. I will stretch past the noise of this world and hear Your Voice. I will learn to know and hear Your Voice first and foremost and not react out of my worldly viewpoint but respond out of Your Kingdom Perspective. I know, without a doubt, I am learning to stretch my faith past the things, voices and people of this world, to a Kingdom Perspective. Shutting down the millions of voices shouting out of the dark, for the One Voice of Light and Reality of Truth, the Voice of my future and hope. I have no doubt, a Cultural Storm is upon us, watch – wait and see the Glory of God, as morning will come.
My soul, wait silently for God alone, for my expectation is from Him. 6 He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be moved. Psalm 62:5-6 NKJV
Part Of The Remnant
The challenge of our today is to shut out the clamor of evil voices, of loud, irrational, high-pitched chaotic voices, which are stirring up the dust of deception all over this world. These voices distract us from God’s truth and try to pull us into their fake reality through false narratives. It is so important in times such as these, when the deception meter is on tilt, to shut out the voices of this world and listen up to the One True Voice of God, the voice that matters most. Pray it up. Let the warring that uses your voice start first in prayer to God. The say so of evil is roaring in full out “Cancel God” warfare and we feel we desperately need to react to this disinformation with our information, our truth. We don’t know what we “think we know”. All human beings have fallen short of the glory of God and are easily deceived. Only God Knows. Therefore, our best reaction is to respond to Him, to listen up to Him. I choose not to become a part of the roar in the darkness, but a part of the hushed remnant who is silently submitting to God in prayer, servant prayer warriors, praying and listening up to God first.
The Storm Is Here
The Storm is upon us, and it is loud, silencing our voices by manipulated, crafty devices of evil. Silently submitting and listening up to the only Voice that speaks the reality of truth, in all of its fullness, looking up to the ONE Who created all of us, all of this, and has faithfully and purposefully maintained it, does not feel logical or have any common sense for a time such as this in our history. Yet, when has God trumped our way with His way, we yield the all of our everything to Him. God has done it throughout our history as human beings, as our very future and hope began with a silent night and a beautiful star in the east, that leaned us into the Sovereign Sway of God as His Son came to us, to deliver us to a forever hope. God is exposing and bringing into accountability all those who have done horrific things, deceiving and defaming, hurting and killing, stealing and destroying. God is exposing and expunging in times such as these. God still can and is able to take care of us as an Advocate, looking out for our best. The Storm is here, YES, but so is the ONE Who can still the storm. God can. Peace be still.
For God alone my soul waits in silence and quietly submits to Him, For my hope is from Him. Psalm 62:5
Simply Significantly Enough
Silence in the midst of roaring chaos, not the way I would have chosen, but I humbly and silently submit to God and look up, listen up to Him, The Voice of my future and hope. There is no doubt that there is a cultural storm upon us, and we need to watch in prayer, wait in hope and we will see the Glory of God. The best course of action as we face this Cultural Storm is to silently submit our life to God. Out of the darkness of this night season, the Morning Star will rise and God’s light will overcome evil in His miraculously glorious way. Fully Face God and be silent, submit to God, shut out the clamor of worldly say so, ask God to stretch your faith, as you shatter the dark voices of this world by decreeing and declaring God’s Truth. Listen up to Jesus, our Bridegroom’s Voice, the soon and coming King and you will exchange outer chaos for inner peace. Jesus Christ is our simply-significantly enough. Cling to Him, dig your life roots deeply in Him.
For He alone is my safe place. His wrap-around presence always protects me as my champion defender. There’s no risk of failure with God! So why would I let worry paralyze me, even when troubles multiply around me? The Passion Translation
Our Advocate Works For Our Good
In the greatest challenges of our times, God is in the midst of them, His purposes are in play for our good and His Glory. The God purposes in our challenges are greater than the challenges we face. It is our mission to stay in a vital-vertical relationship with God and stay in followship of Him, His Voice, His Way, His Truth, His Life. In times such as these we need to be wholly-holy aligned with God. In order to do this we must stretch past our worldly viewpoint to Jesus and His Kingdom and listen up for His Perspective, living in and out of the victory He has already provided for us.
Join me, everyone! Trust only in God every moment! Tell him all your troubles and pour out your heart-longings to him. Believe me when I tell you—he will help you! Pause in his presence. 9 Before God all the people of the earth, high or low, are like smoke that disappears, like a vapor that quickly vanishes away. Compared to God they’re nothing but vanity, nothing at all! 10 The wealth of the world is nothing to God. So if your wealth increases, don’t be boastful or put your trust in your money. And don’t you think for a moment that you can get away with stealing by overcharging others just to get more for yourself! 11 God said to me once and for all, “All the strength and power you need flows from me!” And again I heard it clearly said, 12 “All the love you need is found in me!” And it’s true that you repay people for what they do. Psalm 62: 8-12 The Passion Translation
