How To Be Still.

[@PsychoBible]

"When you're still, everything else gets louder." Good word, man.

[@bathshebabagalkot8015]

9:20 .. when he said " every time you go to the Lord - empty , He will fill you " I teared up 😭 God is so good ... We're undeserving of His kindness

[@RikkebrewerCOG]

many of his children are going through this, we are being readied for war man! but God is the one who does it! amen

[@tuscanyfairer9547]

I keep on seeing the scripture “Be still and know that I am God” and been asking God literally how do I be still? now He’s answered my prayers!! I praise you Lord God for speaking to me through this video🥹✨

[@Christsheep-7]

YOU*

[@ElZerO69]

I've been seeing this too, be still, He has told me 2 times now

[@Anna-vy4hb]

"You never give me time to speak" Wheww, this hit home. It's so important for us to relinquish control and get in position to hear from God.

[@jeruschaslife]

What I heard from my 30 seconds of silence was “ busyness is the root of all chaos” and “ I don’t like when you’re busy because it pulls me apart from you”

[@francineadde2480]

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT IM GOING THRU THANK U JESUS FOR SENDING THIS MY WAAAYYY!!!!

[@tracyosaru]

Just my humble observation. I think exhaustion sometimes comes from entering an unfamiliar terrain especially when one is coming to God and want to take Him serious, the resistance comes at full force but scriptures promises us that God is always with us.

[@AshleyKristyen]

Such a good observation Tracy! That resistance is one of those spiritual warfare tactics aimed at making us weary. Very true!

[@contmarks]

Stillness isn't the absence of movement but a state of inner clarity. As Lao Tzu notes, ‘Silence is a source of great strength.’ Embrace the moment, align with your true self, and let your intuition guide you. Stillness reveals profound wisdom

[@franniemariee]

I’m in the same exact season in my life. It hasn’t been easy, especially when all you want to do is DO something but all He wants is for you to BE with Him (and that’s ultimately what we want as well unknowingly). I was pointed to all those same passages, along with Psalm 37:7 & Luke 10:39-42. I hope and pray we can be still with Him 🙏🏼💜

[@vent_here_lovely]

I'm exactly there!!😭🙏

[@noelthomas20]

I started watching you through Ashley’s videos. Your testimony is truly amazing!

[@EanTheMessenger]

I’ve been going through some stuff recently and I’ve had so much built in stress, so much anxiety, doubt, confusion and when I saw your post on Snapchat about this video something had me drawn to this video. And now I’m at peace with god taking care of my battles. Feels so good to let god in. God bless you and your family!

[@ThesimpleSoldier]

Silence is the KEY for listening to His Voice, yes!! Carew, lots of Love to you dear bro!! I love your intelligence, inspired by Him. Our souls are vases. What we pay attention to is fundamental, because it enters us. What we nourish for ourselves then belongs to us.

[@leslie117777777]

God knew I needed to hear this. Yes, be still and know that he is God; listen for that still small voice ❤️

[@hannahdavis7]

This randomly popped up and spoke so specifically to me straight out the secret place. It helped me to enter the stillness God has been beckoning me to. Grateful for this!

[@ChristenLott]

Amen. The lord has been working on me very strong here lately to be quite and be still to hear him. And he has been talking to me so much these past 3 months. Jesus is my father and my best friend. He has all the glory. ❤❤❤

[@Jakkieeee]

As gen z might say, quit yappin and trust God

[@Alreadyboring_]

This was literally so perfectly timed with my struggles rn. I’ve been a dry season for a couple months and two of the reasons that I feel God has shown me is number one, I was striving to much. Focusing to much on trying to be perfect, which lead to stress about if I have salvation. But I learned i simply need to be still and abide with Him. To know and trust that He closed the distance I couldn’t make. The second thing I believe He showed me was to be still as you said. I always when i start to pray just jump straight into it and I unintentionally bring all of the things on my mind into my time with God. Because of that i can’t focus on Him. Before i start praying now, i simply sit in silence and clear anything not of God and that does not need to be a part of our relationship out of my mind. In doing that i also remind myself that if He is inside of me, i don’t need to strive to pull His presence in and it has made a massive difference. First time in months i dont feel like there’s something wrong with my relationship with Him. ❤️ abide by kingdom culture worship really resonates with me now lol

[@Rockin.Bakken]

God opened my eyes that I have been on my phone too much this week. I planned on taking my paddle board to the lake & being one with nature. Thank you for the word of confirmation 🌊

[@katedoesthings5023]

this is actually crazy because the Lord has been working on this word in my heart for a while. When he talks in the video about how we try to fight our own battles, it actually made me laugh, because how insane are we? I feel especially convicted about this message in the context of salvation, because I feel like I hear so often of people (including myself up until recently) getting saved, then they stress out and try to do all these good things in order to 'keep' their salvation?? Like it's good to do good and obey God's commandments, but if the only reason you're doing these things is out of the fear that you'll lose your salvation, you're not doing them for the right reason. And if you are one of these people that think this way, and you're reading this right now, let me ask you a question. Was the cross not enough? Because if you think that you can do anything to change your salvation through Jesus' sacrifice on the cross, then it's kind of obvious that you believe in the lie that you could do anything to 'mess up' Jesus' sacrifice. As if it's not already been done for thousands of years. As if the God of Abraham, Jacob, and Isaac didn't already declare you FREE and DEAD TO SIN and WASHED in the blood of Jesus. So my point is, live in the joy of knowing that you could never even measure up to deserve salvation. That's the whole point of the cross. This is comforting though, because if there's no way for you to measure up to 'deserve' salvation, how could you think that you could mess it up? So PLEASE, don't use this as an excuse to go out and do bad because 'you could never mess your salvation up', use this as an opportunity to come into a small realization of God's magnitude of love for you, and love Him back. And because of this growing love, you won't even have to try hard to obey Him, you'll just want to do it because you know Him, and love Him, and want to honor Him. Thanks for reading this. Jesus really truly loves you. Like insanely. I can feel just a sliver of His love as I type this out, and its actually overwhelming. Keep pursuing Him! peace out

[@lytzycn]

You’re right I have not been still because I’m scared of what’s in my mind and I stay busy to help with my anxiety but I’m not running away anymore I will be still

[@ciaraknight3690]

Love thiiis! Stillness with the Lord changes everything!! I’ve experienced him more intimately in the past 6 months that I’ve been slowing myself down to it than ever before 😫🙌🏾

[@cerenasejour]

Amen God is that still voice and he’s in the silence🦋

[@CalebKasper]

This is not by coincidence that I was led to this video. It's not a coincidence that the way you were talking about yourself was describing me perfectly. God is faithful. He led me to this video where he is using you.

[@Laceydeancoaching]

Amen amen amen. God has you!

[@JesusChristSaves_2024]

Love the video brother! It’s absolutely crazy how God works, I had the same scriptures revealed to me, in the same exact order. I am now taking comfort in my weakness, for the Lord is my strength. I was prideful, arrogant, slothful, lustful, and more for years. A cycle of self hatred and disgust towards myself made me feel undeserving of God’s love, grace, and righteousness. God is so good though, and I pray if anyone sees this comment they reach out! I’d love to have fellowship with my siblings in Christ even through a screen, God will work and has worked, amen!

[@hcl-q2v]

wow i read the same exact passage this morning, am currently going through the same exact struggles and tonight I stumbled upon this video. Thank you God for using Carew to tell me I need to be still and silent in order to hear your voice.. please meet me in the quiet time.. I think I escape from being still and silent because I'm afraid that God won't speak and I will feel all the more lonelier.. I hope God's voice comes through when I make the space for him :(

[@austin6544]

From tonight forward, I'm going to practice to be still and silent to listen. Thank you Carew. This was my first video I watched of you. God got me here for a reason fasho. Much love

[@abolibot]

"Thank you carew" We say in unison 🙏🏿

[@jasmynsjourney6495]

I heard Gods voice when we were quiet. Thank you for posting this and glory to God ❤

[@tinicupcakeeee]

This blessed me. Thank you so much.

[@matthewbowles4469]

Always feel drawn to your podcast at certain times & always see why the Lord uses it. A very helpful reminder from scripture that we need to continually come close to the Lord, rather than look elsewhere for what we need. Especially needing to draw near to him when we are worn down or don't feel like it. We truly need to "Be still & know that he is God." If Jesus was with us in person, we would spend time with him & we need to do the same as his children. Thanks Carew : - )

[@adenmaldonado1138]

I Know God is speaking to me through you a your videos are making an impact to many!! Keep up the work Jesus is proud of you ❤

[@FaithfullyChosen]

I love you man!❤🙏🏾

[@rebeccacheyo]

So good, been learning how to be still and sometimes be quiet to hear him better

[@destinypaul-ez4fe]

PERIOD CAREW!!! Your videos are so fire… when i was going through the hardest part of my life your videos are what truly led me to Jesus and still strengthen me every time I listen!!! i loved “our life is a jar- you can either fill it with the oil of the Lord or the water of the world. oil and water dont mix, which one are you gonna choose??” that was SOOO GOOD!!! you are so anointed just like David

[@Ajv-_-04]

Thank you for this video, for days the same verses have been in my head be still is all I hear and I didn’t know how to be still truly, God truly answered me with your video thank you man you are a blessing🙏💟

[@MrsGee14]

Carew , thank you for this brother ! In our lives we are always busy and never quiet . We have to be still , let God speak to us and wait on him. God bless you !

[@Mikeltd]

Remember my dears brothers and sisters 1 Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, for as much as you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

[@tatianamaccartney1830]

Been reading a fantastic book that goes through all those scriptures about how if we just can be still in Jesus', how much better off we will be - it's called ' The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry' by John Mark Comer and it's opened my eyes to just how if we follow the way of Jesus, he does give us an easy yoke in our hard lives. Highly reccomend, and thanks @carew for sharing this!

[@LizbethC-m8c]

Amen … I’ve missed you Carew you are such a good vessel of the lord ❤❤🎉 ily brother in Christ

[@Duda-d3r]

[@Wiz1800]

Thank you for sharing this - such a powerful word! 🔥🫶🏻

[@nave1218]

Hey Carew. I wanted to ask you this question about what God said to me. I was at a church revival and God spoke this to me “Furnish the secret place” and seconds after hearing it I kind of understood that the Lord wanted me to find comfort in where He is and place furniture where I choose to live. But I wanted your thoughts and to see what God can say through you about it. And your podcast is all about the secret place so I couldn’t think of anyone better.

[@Phenomenal3021]

Me too bro I just found out I failed again this exam was important and I’ve failed 4 times and I don’t know how I will be able to get into university but it’s not my fight I’m leaving at the feet of Jesus that has given me peace proverbs 3:5-6❤

[@walkninfaith]

wow this was good

[@lucindasamira8351]

Be still! But also: before you decide you feel depressed, make sure you are well rested and you eat well! A few days of days can make Such a difference! Beside Ofcourse your time with the Lord and in his word! ❤❤

[@heaven_bones]

Amenn!!

[@petrahrzenjak5964]

THIS MAKES SOOO MUCH SANCE TYSM

Carew you are my role model I want to become a man of God like you I wish someday I could serve but I am only 14

So good to see another pod episode from you lil bro! And this topic is timely, so timely! I have to constantly remind myself that I don't need to just come to the Secret Place but it's where I need to DWELL. That helps with the waring down that comes with being in warfare. So good @carew_ellington.
