This past Friday God had to show me that I had become too busy for my family (doing ministry...the good thing). I had never been that person, I was always the person making sure that everyone else was focused and in the moment. Yet here I was so far removed from the moment that I didn’t even realize how many moments had already happened that I missed. On Saturday we were finally laying my aunt to rest (after what seemed like a long 3 week process) bc we had to fight with the justice system to her her son approved to be on the Zoom during the service. My family and I wee grieving and we needed to be there for each other. So God challenged me on Friday night to disconnect from anything that was not family related and focus on what my family needed...what I needed. I promised God that I would unplug from ministry work from 9pm on Friday until 3pm on Saturday. At first it was hard...but then I got the revelation. I was equating being still with being depressed and simply put God said at 2am on Saturday morning, “either you are healed or you’re not...either I’m God or I’m not.” See I had been so afraid of the depression that used to have me bound, that God healed me from and made me whole that I didn’t want to stop moving. There’s no freedom in being bound by the fear of the issue that is no longer the issue. That Saturday healing, deliverance and breakthroughs came to my family and I was present to receive what God wanted to get through to me in that moment. This message is confirmation just as the Sabbath Sunday message had been. God is not always in the busyness He’s most often in the stillness. I’m learning again to be still.
