Prayer School

John 16:33, Psalm 46: 8-10, Romans 12:19, John 20:19-21, Hebrews 11:29, Romans 8:32, John 14:27

Men and brethren, have you notice that the biggest selling news of the media is reporting storms, war, suicide bombers and horror than relating good News. We have use our resources to buy fear and they are right in our bedrooms and offices. I want to advise that, if you want to avoid depression stay away as much as possible from bad news, rather stay close to the word of God. We don’t need the News media to tell us that many other people across our nation and world are experiencing storms that are just as devastating, which includes: storms of poverty; storms of divorce, disease or death; storms of betrayal, bankruptcy or blindness; storms of abuse, adultery or addiction; storms that leave shattered lives, broken hearts and shredded hopes; storms that turn dreams into nightmares. No wonder Jesus said, “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” John 16:33. Jesus is the giver of Peace in the Storm of Life. Therefore, we must remain Still and ask God to give us Calmness in the Midst of the Storm

Friends, when we face difficulties in our life that would make it seem as if we are on a ship being tossed upon a stormy sea, how exactly can we be still and become a comfort to our family while a storm rages around us? Here me, you cannot find peace by avoiding life but by living according to the command and directions of God. God is saying to someone here who is ready to revenge, don’t return violence for violence. If you do, you allow the violent person to set the agenda! Instead look on the other with compassion. Return good for evil. Do more than you must. Give because others ask it of you. It is our refusal to retaliate in kind that gives Love the upper hand and reveals the Kingdom of Heaven at work in us and whenever you are confronted with an opponent. Conquer him with love. Leave vengeance to God Romans 12:19. And that’s the whole point of today’s portion of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. We have to have religion enough; we have to have faith enough in Christ to allow his Love to move through us to those around us. On our own, we can’t love the way he wants us to love. We can only love as God loves when Christ works in and with us. It’s easy to love others who love us back, our friends, pals, but even the Mafia and the militants operates this way!

The bible says “Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.” Psalm 46:10. Do you know that Peace was so important that Jesus said ‘Peace be unto you’ twice to the disciples after his resurrection. John 20:19-21, Matthew 28:9. What troubles you? Maybe it is your circumstances: Are your finances tight? What about job security? or perhaps it’s your family?! Or maybe it is yourself. It takes Calmness to walk in the Red Sea knowing that you have been surrounded by your enemies as the story is told; Pharaoh and his army pursued the Israelite slaves fleeing Egypt under Moses’ command, the Israelites crossed the Red Sea on to dry land but Pharaoh’s army and all of his horsemen were drowned Hebrews 11:29. This command “be still” forces us to think on two things: that we are finite, and that God is infinite. That being the case, we need to drop our hands, go limp, relax, and “chill out.” Believers ought to “come, behold the works of Jehovah,” Psalm 46:8 that we may enjoy a calm confidence in him who gave us his Son. “Shall he not also with him freely give us all things?” Paul reasoned (Romans 8:32). Therefore, Psalm 46:10 encourages us to reflect on what God can do in the face of what we are unable to do.

Right where you are, this spiritual calm, that God commands, does not come from a lack of troubles; it derives from a steady, deep reflection on the ways God has intervened in history on behalf of his people (Romans 15:4). So as your world crumbles around you, the call from Scripture is: don’t flinch in faith in God. Stand still—not because of a self-made confidence, not because you are the most composed person in the face of disaster, not because “you’ve seen it all.” Be still because of what you know about God. It is “God’s past” that provides calm for “our future.” Know that he is God! Know it, not merely intellectually, but practically, spiritually, and emotionally. He is your God. He is the ruler of kingdoms of this earth and the all-powerful Creator of the Universe. Even if you are the last man or woman standing, be still. “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earths do change” (Psalm 46:1-2a). Hallelujah!

When we face difficulties in our life that would make it seem as if we are on a ship being tossed upon a stormy sea, how exactly can we be still and strength to us and to our family while a storm rages around us? Here are ten words and their definitions from Tiffany Fletcher that can teach us how to be still in the times of a storm and recognize the power of God.

Number One: Still: free from noise or turbulence; untroubled: When we are free from outside noise or turbulence, we are able to hear the still small voice of God’s Spirit as he comes to comfort and guide us through our trials. Some of the noise we experience that could be blocking our ability to feel God’s presence is our own worry. When we learn to change our thoughts from negative to positive, we are more able to feel God’s love because we are in harmony with him. The noise and turbulence is replaced by a sweet melody of peace.

Number Two: Calm: a period or condition of freedom from storms; a state of tranquillity: To be calm does not mean that the storm is no longer all around you, it means that the storm is no longer within you. The storms may still rage, but you are free from the effects of them. They no longer trouble you because you know in whom you have trusted. You are in a place where you no longer fear.

Number Three: Hushed: to put at rest; mollify-to soothe in temper or disposition: Often times, when trials come, we tend to get angry with God and cry out in complaint. When we do this, we lessen our ability to feel the Spirit, because we leave no room in our hearts for the Spirit to dwell. God cannot dwell in a heart that is full of anger. It is when we learn to put at rest our complaints and cast our burdens on the Lord, to hush our cries and wait upon him, that we will find solace. He will bind our broken hearts.

Number Four: Peaceful: untroubled by conflict; devoid of violence or force: Sometimes when difficulties arise, we allow the anger and frustrations from those trials to push us into violence, or we try to force our will upon the Lord. Neither one of these choices will bring us peace. When conflicts come and we are untroubled by them because of our faith in God, only then can we know peace.

Number Five: Placid: serenely free of interruption or disturbance: We can learn to be still as we pray, read scripture, go for a walk, meditate or give ourselves time to ponder free from interruption or disturbance. This not only allows us to communicate with our Heavenly Father, it allows our Heavenly Father to communicate with us.

Number Six: Restful: marked by, affording or suggesting rest and repose; being at rest: Often times, the busyness of life makes it impossible for us to truly hear what God is trying to tell us. It is when we slow down and allow ourselves the opportunity to rest that our mind and heart can focus on those things that are of the greatest importance. God wants to talk to us, but we have to be ready and available to listen.

Number Seven: Serene: shining bright and steady: While reading with my children during home-school, I learned that the sun does not rise and the sun does not set. It is an illusion. Instead, the Sun stays still, steady and bright, and as the Earth turns to face the sun, that is when the morning comes. The darkness of night comes when the Earth turns away. It is the same with us. In our trials, when we turn to face the Son, who is steady and bright, just like the Earth, we are filled with light. If instead we choose to turn away from him, the darkness of night will surely come. Choose to face the light.

Number Eight: Quiet: gentle, easy going, i.e. quiet nature: When we are gentle and easygoing, we are more able to hear God’s commands. He gently persuades us to love him and serve others. We are more able to ease our own troubles, and we will carry God’s spirit within us, which will aid us in easing the burdens of others.

Number Nine: Stilly: in a calm manner: When we approach life, and our trials, in a calm manner, we are more able to see the bigger picture and outline a plan of recovery. Not only does it allow us to have a clear mind, but it allows us to help calm the fears of those around us.

Number Ten: Tranquil: free from agitation of mind or spirit: When our mind and spirit are still, our whole body is at peace. We are able to see things with a clear mind, feel things with a pure heart and hear the voice of our Heavenly Father with ears that are open and in tune with his spirit. We will know God because we will be one with him.

At times my life is anything but still. Perhaps you can relate. Family members with competing needs. Relationships to nurture and to maintain. Work demands. Ministry commitments. Errands to run. Projects to finish. Mail. Phone calls. Pages. E-mail. Sometimes it’s too much! These are all good things, but they become too much when I forget to take a step back and focus on what’s most important in God. Your busyness will not solve your troubles. In fact, the harder you run after something, the farther away it becomes. You are incapable of solving your problems. You seek refuge with your friends- but they can only commiserate with your pain; You try to find strength from your spouse- but he or she is just as weak as you are. how far have you gotten? Have you attained what you sought? If I’ve learned anything about the spiritual life I’ve learned that when I’m busy and distracted I miss God. If I’m hurrying, anxious, or under pressure it’s hard to hear God. That’s because God usually speaks in a still, small voice. It’s like listening to my wife while anxiously reading through my stack of mail. I’m not giving her my attention. I’m not hearing her or connecting with her. So I’ve learned to put down the mail and look into her eyes when we need to talk!

“Be still and know that I am God,” is not just a saying, it is a state of being. It is the ability to know God well enough to trust in his abilities to rescue you. As we learn to be still and trust in God, we come to know and understand that we are God’s children. We are never alone, never unaided and never forgotten. He will come to us. All it takes is for us to be still.

Finally, Depression, like anxiety, makes it difficult to connect with God. To make contact with God we need motivation, concentration, accurate discernment of ourselves and God, and hope in all of which are things that are incompatible with depression.

I pray that someone here will experience stillness of soul and experience God’s unfailing love for you in their heart, right now. “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” John 14:27

Let me share these testimonies before the concluding prayer.
