“Seven Up”
Message by Psr. Nhyira Jackson
2014 Rhema: Psalm 46:10a
He says,
“Be still, and know
that I am God …”
Hezekiah in time of trouble – Psalm 46
• Psalm 46:10-11
• 10 He says, “Be still, and
know that I am God;
I will be exalted among
the nations,
I will be exalted in the
earth.”
• 11 The LORD Almighty is
with us; the God of
Jacob is our fortress.
(NIV)
Psalm 46 tells us that in 2014:
• Trouble will strike the
godly
• God is sufficient to get
you through
• The Lord is our refuge
• The Lord is our strength
• The Lord is our fortress
• The Lord is our help in
times of trouble
No problem, whether
emotional, physical,
or spiritual, is too big
for our God.
In 2014 the Lord says “be still …”
• It doesn’t mean to sit.
• It means to still the
– The mind,
– The eyes, as well as,
– The tongue.
• It means
– to relax,
– to let things go,
– to abandon,
– to withdraw,
– to refrain.
Listen to the still small voice of God!
