BE STILL

The most powerful statement in the whole Bible is the following:

"Be still, and know that I AM God." Psalm 46:10

Why?

All problems are illusions of mortal mind. In the Kingdom of Heaven, everything is whole and perfect... So, when we have a problem, all we have to do is BE STILL and be fully AWARE.

When we have a problem, it means our awareness is identified with negative thoughts, feelings and things. And these negative thoughts and feelings are lies about ourself. In the Kingdom of Truth, Reality or Awareness, all is well.

All we need to do is to wake up and BE AWARE.

Other translations are:

Cease striving and know that I am God...

Be at peace in the knowledge that I am God...

Let go [of your concerns]! Then you will know that I am God...

Let be, and know that I am God...

Desist, and know that I am God...

All negative thoughts and feelings dissolve in I AM Awareness. And our life circumstances are the manifestation of our state of consciousness. If we ARE STILL in Consciousness, we will manifest what is Beautiful, True and Good.

"Once you begin to see the fruitage of standing fast in God's Omnipotence, God's Omniscience, God's Omnipresence, you'll never let it slip away from you. You'll know what Paul meant by praying without ceasing. You'll know what it means to have it in your forehead and on your arms and paste it on the gates of your home. You'll know what it means to keep the mind stayed on God and watch how God's Grace actually goes before you......

"You never again have to pray for anything. You never again have to tell God what you think you need or what you would like God to do. You need only abide in those three words. Omniscience, God is already the all-knowing. And you know what the Master said in addition to that, not only does God knoweth that you have need of these things, it is His good pleasure to give you the kingdom..... 

"Since God is Omniscience the all-wisdom, you need tell God nothing. Since God is Omnipotence, you need not ask God to be a power, God already is the only power. Since God is closer to you than breathing, Omnipresence, you need not seek God. You need only to be still and, without words or thoughts, invite God in. `Thy grace is my sufficiency. Thy will be done in me.' Let there be light. .....

"In this way you will learn that God is a spirit, that God must be approached in spirit, that God must be approached without any sense of being a temporal power that you're going to use. God is Spirit. God is love. God is the peace that descends in your heart. It's not a power to anything or for anything or over anything. It's the power of expression, the creative power of the universe, the maintaining and the sustaining power. But it doesn't do anything to anything and, therefore, don't pray for God to do anything. JUST BE STILL."
