At church during the Pastor’s closing remarks she said this statement “Stillness in the Atmosphere”.
In 1 Kings 19:11-13 KJV states “And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord. And, behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the Lord; but the Lord was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the Lord was not in the earthquake: And after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice. And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?”
We are living in days where we have much distraction. Many life changing events happening so fast at time it is hard to keep up. But no matter, what is going in your life you must create and set aside a time called “Stillness”.
Personally thinking we each need to create an atmosphere for the sole purpose to hear from God. Psalm 46:10 states, Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
In order to hear the Lord’s still small voice we need some “Stillness in your atmosphere”.
I firmly believe that with us being in the first 90 days of 2020 and we have 4 more to go; creating an atmosphere of stillness is vital and will set a pattern how we deal with the rest of the year.
Listening for His still small voice in our atmospheres is like trying to find a needle in a hay stack. That is why being still and cause your four (4) elements of yourself to line up.
What are your four (4) elements of yourself? They are as follows:
1. Mind to become renewed and transformed daily.
2. Soul to become restored unto Him.
3. Body to be aware of the atmosphere
4. Spirit to connect with His Spirit which is His presence.
As we prepare to shutdown in our various Nations; this should become a time of creating a stillness in your Atmosphere.
What is Stillness in the Atmosphere? Why should be create this atmosphere? When do you think is the right time? How do I create an atmosphere of stillness?
Creating an atmosphere of stillness means you must
1. Know that in your quietness is your confidence – Isaiah 30:15
2. It is in your quiet place where you decide no distractions and no hindrances to interrupt your stillness – 2 Corinthians 4:7-10 KJV
3. It is a time to be still to hear, to meditate, to listen, to see, to write, not think and not speak but to allow the Holy Spirit which is the presence of God to engulf your hearing and seeing.
Have your ever wondered why you dream dreams and have visions? This is only time in your day that your four (4) elements are lined up with the Lord. Your mind, souls, body and spirit is on one accord. It is during this season of the night that God visits you and seals your instructions. In Job 33:14-16 KJV says “For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not. In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed; Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction, That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man”.
In conclusion, remember you are “treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us” found in 2 Corinthians 4:7-10 KJV which states “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us”.
No matter your situation, circumstances you can create a “Stillness in the Atmosphere” even though “we are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body”.
Tell me about your Stillness in the Atmosphere experience you created.
