So these are just some notes I wrote down, after praying and asking God to show me what it truly means to be still and know that He IS God. I did this because a friend asked me what it means, and I wasn't totally lost on answering them, but wasn't totally 100% able to answer. I thought I best seek God on this one, and make sure of things, I can't just tell them things, I must know for myself or I'll seem like a hypocrite or something. So anyhow, here's what I got.Oh the one's that say ''I'' are ones that I myself do. Maybe this will help someone somewhere out there. God bless!
-I fully acknowledge Him as LORD
-I have and must constantly have and keep my reverence for Him.
-I give Him my all.(mind, heart, spirit, soul, thoughts, feelings, and all that I have and am, even down to the smallest micro-fiber and particle of me.)
-I do and must always seek Him, as well as thirst, hunger, trust, work for, and obey Him.
-I fully acknowledge that I am nothing on my own, can do nothing on my own, and that if I didn't have Him, I would have nothing, but I have EVERYTHING, since I DO have Him.
-It's not about me or what I do at all, it's all about Him, what He did, does, and will do in the days to come.
-When I'm alone, it's just God and myself, He speaks and listens as well. He's all around, placing angels of protection round about me, and taking me to a secret place. One where He hides me from the things of this old world. I pour out all of me, an and all things to Him, laying them down, casting them upon Him, and into a sea of forgetfulness. Where the waves wash them all away, as God works.
-I do my best to be and remain faithful and humble before my Lord, to have no self-pride.
-Worship God in spirit and in truth, which is His word alone. Nothing else is truer.
-I know He's God ALMIGHTY.
-Honesty and confession of all wrongs.
-Rely on God alone.
-I have given up the fight against Satan, the darkness, etc. of the world. It does nothing but make me tired, torn, worn, and more. I allow God to fight for me, my victory is IN CHRIST JESUS!
-I know I'm nothing but a sinner saved by grace, but I'm a child of and worth everything to God.
-I must ask Him to show me my errs, and allow Him to work in me to fix them.
-I must keep seeking, until I find whatever it is I need, never giving up, and giving it and God my all.
Even when I'm tired, and may have to force myself. I shall confess Him as my strength, and ask Him to work and keep me going.
-Feeling, accepting, and welcoming the Holy Spirit, and the power thereof.
-Resting in total peace and comfort of the Lord, being silent, just listening, and waiting to hear God speak, and feel Him move within me.
-Thinking on and applying what i know of God's word, to this life.
-Being one with the Lord, in prayer, worship, reading His word, music, whatever, whenever, however, and with whomever, may or may not be around.
-Go and be alone, relax, just enjoy the peace and quiet. Don't worry or think about a thing, other than focusing on God, just sit or lay still, listen to His small, still, powerful voice. As ''thoughts cross the mind'', memorize or jot them down...that's God SPEAKING too you!
-Drown our any and all background noise that may be, or is around. Forget about everything that's going on around you, tell others you need to be alone with God, to please excuse you, and not bother you until you come back around them. It's one of those ''let me come to you, don't come to me'' situations...sort of like ''don't call us, we'll call you'' thing.
-Repent of sins that are holding you back from growing and maturing in Christ. Truly repent, which means to completely turn away from, and give up/ let go of it...once and for all.
-Totally let go of and forget about self-reliance, lean not on your own understanding, strength, or anything else. Accept that God is your everything, allow Him to be your strength, and rely on Him alone.
