“ARE YOU IN A VERY “DEEP SEASON WITH YOUR BELOVED?”…COULD THIS TIME BE OUR “BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD,” MOMENT?…AS I ASKED… THIS IS WHAT FOLLOWED…I KNOW MANY WILL RELATE…SHEW AS I READ, AND WRITE I FEEL HIS PRESENCE FLOWING THROUGH ME…” ❤
Ì received this word not to long ago. And God brought it back into my spirit and told me to pen and post it again, cause we in a VERY deep season with our Beloved… So without even thinking, my finger’s typed, is this our “be still and KNOW that I AM God,” moment… it witnessed with my spirit as I wrote it ….”
But before I went to sleep I felt such a flow of these words coming not from my mouth but from a very deep God place inside. So I have to “pen” them, and if it feels familiar to you, maybe this is where you are too. It might sound confusing to some…then its not for you. Its ok. Maybe no one relates…either way I felt I had to pen this flow, and now I humbly share….Love Angie ???
So I found myself drifting off into another realm in the Spirit… but this question is on my heart, what does it REALLY mean to “be still and KNOW that I AM God.”
For me it’s like I have not wanted to be in conversation with many people and social media has been something I feel I an in a time that if I miss something, God will see it and if I need to know it He will let it find me. Not because I don’t love people, but strangely because I do love them….My entire being, preferring to go deep with God, in a silence that is actually very loud…
I don’t know how to explain this, except to say, that I am at a loss for words, because of what I am going through. But yet God is “loud” in releasing an emotion into my being, in this place of “silence” where the only voice my heart seems to desire to hear, is the voice of my precious Lord. The precious Darling of Heaven…
And it’s a flood of emotions from tears to faith, to fear, to hope, to excruciating pain breaking through, to wanting to just run and hide…. but then….He stills that with His peace…
Peace…. the unimaginable kind of peace, that I should not be experiencing in terms of my circumstances…
And I am still, before my God, cause it’s almost like He is conducting the symphony of silence, from this stillness, that knows that I am God…. Is this what it means to be still and know that I am God….?
It’s a place of no striving. Not even in my thoughts. Not wanting to try to please everyone…. but yet not to hurt anyone, but like a feeling of its ok, they know…. CAUSE they are experiencing it too….
And as God conducts this symphony of stillness… for the first time I lay all my plans down cause I am taken up in the “song of silence….” Yet there are sounds in the form of emotions everywhere….all around me…. Yet I don’t even have a desire to work it out. Cause it somehow seems like it’s already been and being worked out in Heaven…
But God is letting it journey from Heaven, to my heart Himself. Cause I can’t, for the life of me, work it out but I just know that it’s going to be ok….
Wow the sound of the symphony, of the stillness, of knowing, that the great I AM, who just also happens to be my Daddy, is creating a “new sound,” a sound filled with all I am feeling, all He is releasing into my being, all He is feeling about me and for me…oh SO much love…it’s like a flow…a river…gently leading me beside still waters… All from this one whisper from His heart, “be still and know that I am God…
I don’t know where this journey ends, but its as though God assures me not to be afraid…. That what He is creating in this symphony of stillness, is so beautiful…and once He is complete, will be very “loud” and beautiful, and provide answers, to those who get to hear it. Who are willing to hear it…
It’s a symphony of silence, a deep calling to deep time, that is not like anything I have known before… And it feels like I can just “free fall” with Him from crescendo to crescendo, then down to the minor chords, then to the highest of heights, that pierce the darkness, that has wanted to come and snuff out my light…
I hear myself saying “God, I have never understood this scripture like I am experiencing now… All I know, is that NO ONE but You are in control… The Conductor of the “symphony” of the deep, still, silent moments of my life….”
“…which are actually going to become something so huge, that it can ONLY be God. Is this what it means….be still and know that I AM God. I don’t know, but I am willing to find out….”
The conductor of my life, is taking me on a journey…in the stillness of the symphony of His sound, knowing without a doubt…this is God…and me, being still, and knowing that He IS God. And that settles it for me….
I realise as I post this, that these words will either connect with you or not. And that’s OK… God poured this out into my heart like a symphony… and I “penned” what He is saying. I pray this makes sense to you….!” ❤??

I love this message Angie because I’ve also discovered the place you described where we can be filled with such amazing peace and all of our cares are removed so far away that we no longer think about them. It’s such a wonderful place to be, I want everyone to know they can go there each day and then enjoy the rest of the day in right alignment with Him. We were not designed to handle anxiety, fear, worry or stress and the good news is we don’t have to. God bless you and glad to see you’re feeling well enough to write again.
Amein James, this peace and this ‘place’ with Him is so far beyond words to describe much less explain what it’s like to be in His special Presence , it makes me understand a little more what Joshua must have felt as He lingered there before the tent of meeting in that desert long after the Spirit of God had left and the light of His glory was slowly fading and yet Joshua had only Being In His Presence on his mind and heart ❤️ I’ve felt that also and there’s nothing like it on earth
Shew Thomas thats a great way to be explaining it. Yes to “linger longer” In His presence. God bless you for your response really appreciate your words.
God bless you Thomas!
Thanks for your feedback James. And I so agree with you. So many are experiencing hectic things. And if we don’t allow that peace to flow from within us from the Prince of Peace, we will surely crash.
Thanks also for your words of blessing. Forgive me, I have not even had the opportunity physically to respond to the comments left on my precious post. I will make a plan and go respond as soon as I am able.
God bless you James. Really appreciate your feedback!
Angie, I loved your honest, genuine, forthright post. It makes sense to me, God is working on us, for His purpose. God Bless
Be still and know that I am God.
A time and place where your soul is quiet and expectant…
Pregnant with something the LORD will someday birth through you.
A time to be full of oil and to learn a new song to sing before the throne.
A time to praise the LORD despite all the chaos the enemy is throwing at you.
The LORD inhabits the praises of His people. So…
Let’s usher in the very presence of the LORD of Heaven’s Armies.
When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,
It is well, it is well with my soul.
Refrain:
It is well with my soul,
It is well, it is well with my soul.
Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.
