Peace…Be Still

I was talking with some youth pastor  friends yesterday about  life and ministry during the charismatic movement in the 80’s.

This was a time of heightened focus on spiritual warfare …As a youth pastor I spent an hour a day in the prayer chapel binding and losing spiritual powers, making declarations to the north east south and west.

My intentions were good but looking back, my time would have been much better spent being quiet and listening.

True silence is the rest of the mind; it is to the spirit what
sleep is to the body, nourishment and refreshment.
-   William Penn

Be still, and know that I [am] God
Psalm 46:10
