"Be Still and Know that I Am God" · Let's Ask the Mamas!

• 0:00
  We got a question for our American mama's. Dear mama's, the Bible says
• 0:04
  to be still and know that I am God. But nobody seems to be
• 0:07
  still at all anymore. Well, let's ask our American mama's. Mama,
• 0:12
  mama, and joining us now our American mama's turn Outoville and Kimberly Burlison.
• 0:27
  You know, I use this this verse, which by the way, says
• 0:29
  it a couple of different times. I use it in a course I've taught
• 0:32
  called learning to Listen, how to Hear, how to hear the Holy Spirit
• 0:36
  and the will of God in your life. I've taught this course a couple
• 0:39
  of times, and one of the things that I focus on in that course
• 0:43
  is most people don't hear from God because we don't take the time to be
• 0:47
  still. Agree and so this was this is something I agree with the writer.
• 0:54
  This is a question, this is a problem. I agree. We
• 0:57
  talked about this yesterday. We were at waffle House Terry Night and our husbands
• 1:02
  and we got on the topic of what is your heaven and what is your
• 1:06
  hell? And so our husbands were describing what their heaven is wait house because
• 1:12
  for some people waffle house is their heaven for some other people, and so
• 1:23
  at that moment it was heaven. Well heaven, it really was. So
• 1:26
  we're talking about what is your heaven, what is your hell? And we
• 1:29
  are all so different in what we thought heaven and hell was. But we
• 1:34
  turned into the subject of just being in a meditative state. That's what we've
• 1:38
  noticed. So mine's the beach and as the waves are crashing, I pray
• 1:44
  every wave that comes on, I have a prayer, and it would get
• 1:47
  to hundreds of prayers at that very moment. For Terry's husband's being in the
• 1:51
  woods, it's hunting, it's being steel and watching he said. I love
• 1:55
  when he said watching nature wake up when the sun comes out right and that
• 1:59
  and we it was about being steell is what it turned into. And then
• 2:02
  we talked about you and what do you do when you're still This is an
• 2:07
  issue because I was, I was the odd man out. I was like,
• 2:09
  gosh, I don't think I used to. I used to go home
• 2:13
  and write. That was my time to be steal and write and let God
• 2:16
  do his thing through me. But in past years I have the TV on
• 2:21
  all the time. Kevin jokes with me about it. If I'm getting ready,
• 2:24
  I have Megan Kelly or something on, you know, a phone listening,
• 2:28
  or I'm listening to music when i'm walking or I'm on the phone.
• 2:30
  I don't really take time out anymore to be steal and know God. I'll
• 2:36
  read devotionals or I'll listen to devotional but I don't unplug. I don't unplug
• 2:42
  anymore. So when I was listening to the three of them, you know,
• 2:45
  because for her husband it was deep sea fishing. So I thought,
• 2:47
  gosh, So I said all of the things that y'all like, you can't
• 2:52
  you're you're unplugged, You're you're away from the noise that that I am surrounded
• 2:58
  with constantly, and all of them were and it's nature, it's my time
• 3:00
  with God. And I started thinking, my gosh, I missed that.
• 3:06
  I haven't been doing that, and maybe that's why I have. I feel
• 3:08
  amped up about the world and I'm ready to march, you know, because
• 3:13
  I have not. I'm plugged. And just sat with God and said,
• 3:16
  revealed to me, continue to reveal to me the purpose you have in store
• 3:21
  for me. Well, fear creeps up. That's what we were talking about.
• 3:23
  Is that real? Fear, and this is a time that there's a
• 3:28
  lot of fear. A lot of people are feeling a lot of fear about
• 3:30
  what they're seeing in the world. So it's how can we walk away from
• 3:36
  being afraid and have that moment where we are trusting what we're hearing from God.
• 3:42
  Terry, I love that on the radio. You just raised your hand.
• 3:46
  This is me. I know. It was an interesting It was one
• 3:47
  of those great conversations where you know, it was like it started off with
• 3:52
  heaven and hell, and then it became your happy place, and then Kevin's
• 3:54
  trying to convince me that my happy place is in the woods beside him watching
• 3:58
  nature wake up, and I was like, to gotta go about to me
• 4:00
  and I can't talk that is out, you know, And so it really
• 4:05
  turned into no, you like my? You like my? It turned into
• 4:10
  a debate. Yeah, anyway, but it is something that I think that
• 4:15
  people should reflect upon. I don't think we really reflect anymore, and that
• 4:18
  had me reflecting. I've thought about it, you know, all morning when
• 4:21
  I was getting ready listening to him to my YouTube, I thought I should
• 4:26
  be listening to God right now. But I'm gonna see what Jesse Waters has
• 4:29
  to say about this one thing. But it's true. I think that when
• 4:32
  we are that verse, you know you said it in the car today,
• 4:35
  be steal and know that I am God. It is such a strong uh
• 4:42
  verse that God is saying, He's he's given you a command, He's given
• 4:46
  you something to go by. I am telling you all you gotta do is
• 4:51
  be steel. I'm here. This is this is so cool. I talk
• 4:55
  about this in the course learning to Listen. Yeah. And it's a lot
• 5:00
  of times when we pray to God or like, hey God, I got
• 5:02
  this problem here, I got this thing, I got this concern. I
• 5:04
  need you to fix this. Tell me what to do here, tell me,
• 5:06
  Oh guide me God, tell me Okay, but bye, I gotta
• 5:09
  go. And we never that's not how a conversation happens. In a conversation,
• 5:14
  I'll talk a little bit and then you talk, and I shut up
• 5:18
  while you talk so that I can hear what you're gonna say. When it
• 5:21
  comes to God, we almost never shut up and listen and give God the
• 5:28
  chance to talk to us. And if you will do that, he will
• 5:32
  communicate with you and it will be amazing. And I would love for more
• 5:38
  people to learn that. But what you have to first do is you have
• 5:41
  to be still and know that He is God. Amen. Amen. If
