BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD
Lisa Cooke (Lisa Doyle)
Feb 26, 2003
Last month I experienced a visitation from the Lord that released me into a
new place of utter rest, trust, peace and dependence upon Him. For well
over 36 hours I kept hearing a Prophetic Song of the Lord being sung in the
Heavenlies and throughout all the earth. This Prophetic Song of the Lord
that Heaven was releasing, and will continue to release during the upcoming
weeks and many months to come, is simple and true - "Be Still and know that
I am God."Â Â (Psalm 46:10)
Although the words of this Prophetic Song are very few, they are powerful,
beautiful, and wonderfully made. They carry fresh anointings to bring the
Body of Christ to a place of rest and peace within the Council of God, even
during the most difficult and trying times. It is within this place that we
will be able to process life's many circumstances and situations without
being overwhelmed by fear, worry, anxiety or emotion. These powerful words
carry fresh impartations of faith, hope, peace, trust and rest.Â
Mighty Angelic Hosts Empowered to Help During This "Great Time of
Need"
At one point during this visitation in the evening hours, I walked outside
and looked up Heavenward. And as this truly amazing Prophetic Song of the
Lord continued to ring throughout the earth, I could hear faint sounds of
thunder beginning and I could see lightning in the vast distance,
accompanied by a blazing rolling fire. I then saw the Father rise from His
throne and begin to deploy further Angelic Hosts to join the already raging
battle below. These Mighty Angelic Hosts, along with the countless others,
were empowered, released, and activated to Help during this "Great Time of
Need." These Angelic Hosts were serious and steadfast and had been well
prepared for this exact moment in time. They carried fresh "NEW" Divine
Protection, Divine Healing, Divine Deliverance, Divine Timing and Divine
Provision.Â
As this visitation continued, I saw another Angelic Host straddling the
earth with a trumpet poised and ready to blow. This trumpet was called
Sovereignty, and upon the Father's command this Angelic Host blew the
trumpet and released Mighty Sovereign Acts of God to remove hindrances,
obstacles, etc. that had been blocking the fulfillment of hearts desires and
creative purpose and destiny, both individually and corporately. As these
Sovereign Acts of God were released, I could hear the Father say, "The time
of Delay is over!"
The Lord Is Calling Us To a Place of Stillness
Before Him - Be still and know that I am God, Psalm 46:10
We live in very challenging and perplexing times. All of us have been
impacted to some degree by the impending war and threats of terrorism. Then
when you add to this equation a struggling economy, unemployment at record
highs, personal financial loss, sickness and disease, sudden acts of
violence, natural disasters, other personal tragedies, sudden loss of loved
ones (physically and relational), etc. it can be very difficult to stay in a
place of peace and rest. What is even more challenging is trying to
maintain a place of stillness before the Lord, trusting that He will work
out all things for good, supply all of our needs and fulfill all those
things which He has spoken to us about; wholeness, hearts desires and
creative purpose and destiny, both individually and corporately.
The Lord is calling us to be still before Him and enter into a place of
quietness within our hearts, minds and spirits, where we can release all of
our cares and concerns over to Him, trusting Him to provide for all of our
needs and to direct our paths accordingly. It is in this stillness, that we
can grow and develop deeper personal relational intimacy with the Lord, and
where He can reveal His Kingdom Strategies, Plans and Mysteries. In this
stillness, we can be comforted, healed, delivered, empowered and released
into greater fullness through Christ Jesus.  (I Kings 19:10-13)
Fear Not, For I Am With You (Promises From the Lord)
Jeremiah 33:3 Call to Me, and I will answer you, and
show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.
2 Corinthians 4:7-10 7 But we have this treasure in
earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of
us. 8 We are hard pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed,
but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not
destroyed -10 always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus,
that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.
Philippians 4:6Â Be anxious for nothing, but in everything
by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made
known to God, and the peace that surpasses all understanding, will guard
your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Isaiah 41:10Â Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed,
for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will
uphold you with My righteous right hand.
Psalms 56:3 Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You.
John 14:25-27 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the
Father will send in My name, he will teach you all things, and bring to your
remembrance all things that I said to you. Peace I leave with you, My peace
I give to you, not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart
be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Psalms 107:29 He calms the storm, So that its waves are
still.
Isaiah 30:21 Your ears shall hear a word behind you,
saying, "This is the way, walk in it," whenever you turn to the right hand
or whenever you turn to the left.
"Faith Seemed to Energize the Momentum At Which the Angelic Hosts
Worked . . ."
*Believe - Faith (Strong's - Divinely implanted principle
of inward confidence, assurance, trust, and reliance in God and all that He
says.)
As I walked outside this morning, I was greeted by a very large and
authoritative Angel. He simply said to me, "Believe." I inquired if there
was any more to the message, and again he simply said, "Believe."Â Â Again, I
went to inquire to see if there was anymore to the message and again he
simply said, "Believe."Â I then found myself simply repeating the word
"Believe" and then I said "Yes Lord, I Believe."Â
As I spoke these simple words, "Yes Lord, I Believe," I once again saw that
Angelic Host with the trumpet marked Sovereignty. I then witnessed Angelic
Hosts about the Father's Business performing sudden "Sovereign Acts of God"
to remove issues of delay, hindrances, obstacles and to bring healing,
deliverance, wholeness, salvation, fulfillment of hearts desires and
creative purpose and destiny individually and corporately. Faith seemed to
energize the momentum at which the Angelic Hosts worked and caused an
acceleration in the spiritual and the natural to bring about these
fulfillments, however I should make mention, that I also witnessed many
who had fallen into a place of utter desperation, hopelessness and despair
that could no longer stand anymore. These ones the Lord was paying special
attention to. He called them the "Overcomers" and special grace, mercy,
provision and love was being extended to them from the Heart of the Father.  Â
(Hebrews 12, Jeremiah 29:11, Philippians 1:6, Matthew 6:25-34, Philippians
4:19-20)
I John 5:14 Now this is the confidence that we have in
Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 15 And if
we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the
petitions that we have asked of Him.
Isaiah 55:11 So shall My word be that goes forth from My
mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I
please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
Hab 2:2-3 Then the LORD answered me and said: "Write the
vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it. 3 For the
vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it
will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come,
it will not tarry.
Praise and Thank Him For The Things He is Doing and Has Done
One of our greatest weapons in warfare is praise and worship. Stay in an
attitude of praise and worship and earnestly press into a deeper personal
intimate relationship with the Lord. Praise and thank Him for the things He
is doing, has done and is doing right now. Spend more time with the Lord
and "delight" yourself in the things of the Lord. The Lord is calling forth
His Bride right now. Let Him woo you unto Him. In these secret times with
the Lord, let Him reveal His secrets unto you, empower and strengthen you,
heal you, bring increase unto you and release you into greater fulfillment
of destiny and purpose.  (Isaiah 61, Psalm 92, Psalm 30)
Jer 33:11 "the voice of joy and the voice of gladness,
the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of those
who will say: 'Praise the LORD of hosts, for the LORD is good, for His mercy
endures forever'-- and of those who will bring the sacrifice of praise into
the house of the LORD. For I will cause the captives of the land to return
as at the first," says the LORD.
Ps 9:1-3Â 1 I will praise You, O LORD, with my whole heart;
I will tell of all Your marvelous works. 2 I will be glad and rejoice in
You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High. 3 When my enemies turn
back, they shall fall and perish at Your presence.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18Â 16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without
ceasing, 18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ
Jesus for you.Â
Matt 6:33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His
righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
Ps 37:4 Delight yourself also in the LORD, and He shall
give you the desires of your heart.
Neh 8:10 ... ...Do not sorrow, for the joy of the LORD is
your strength.
Be still, Believe and Praise Him for the many wonderful things He is doing –
Sudden Sovereign Acts of God!
Some Things To Consider and Pray For . . .
Heb 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of
grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Interpersonal relationships -
Emotions are high and intense and there is a lot of ripping and tearing
going on in relationships at this time - individually and corporately.Â
Remember we have an enemy who is trying sabotage key strategic relationships
and bring about division and discord, hurt and distrust into our homes,
churches, ministries, businesses, Nation, etc.Â
During this time period try to be sensitive to one another's needs. Be
kind, caring and loving in yours thoughts, actions and deeds. I also believe
it is important to recognize that often things are not as they appear to
be. The enemy is using distrust, rejection, fear, miscommunication, prior
hurts and wounds, etc. to bring death and division in relationships. If you
are experiencing relationship issues seek the Lord on how to proceed. Do
not react out of emotions, but find that place of stillness. Ask the Lord
to Sovereignly intervene and follow through on any action steps that you may
need to do. Remember proper communication is vital and humility is key. (1
Peter 3:8-12, Ecc 4:9-12, Psalm 133, Eph 4, 1 Cor 13:13, John 15:9-17, James
4:6-8, James 2:13)
Eph 4:31-5:2Â Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor,
and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. 32 And be kind to
one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ
forgave you.
Eph 5:1-2Â Therefore be imitators of God as dear children.
2 And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an
offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.
Individually -
The enemy is trying to come in with double mindedness, fear, regret,
hopelessness, despair, death, grief, anxiety, worry, revenge, etc. Say no
to these things and prophesy Faith, Hope and Love. Enter into purposed
times of Prayer and Worship and continue to "Declare and Proclaim" the word
of God over yourselves, families, businesses, ministries, Nation, etc. If
you are struggling, do not isolate, reach out for help and let the Body of
Christ surround you during this season. And remember, Body of Christ during
this Great Time of Need, the Lord can truly work through us to touch a lost
and dying world. Matt 5:16 Let your light so shine before men,
that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in
heaven.
Â
Corporately -
Continue to pray for our Nation, our President, our government, our military
leaders and our global allies for divine wisdom and strategies and peace of
mind. Continue to pray for protection (physical, mental and emotional well
being-Psalm 91) and that "all things" work according to the Lord’s Perfect
Plan and in His Perfect Timing.
Eph 3:20 -21Â 20 Now to Him who is able to do
exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the
power that works in us, 21 to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to
all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
Extravagant Blessings and Favor to you...
