Take 5

Pastor Rusty - March 25, 2025

“Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” Psa. 46:10

“Be still!” Comes across as an imperative. One translation render this “cease striving”. For those who minister in Christ it is necessary to find this Chill Zone. You probably never represent Christ better than when you’re in a position of rest. It is the ministerial sweet spot that allows you to receive and release the heart of Father like no other position or frame of mind. “Be still” is taken from the Hebrew word Raphah, (not to be confused with rapha… healer). Raphah means to relax, let it go.

I was driving through a Take 5 car wash (5 is the number of grace). It’s a place of cleansing where you pull up on the track and put your car in neutral and the car wash takes care of the rest. The Holy Spirit began to speak to me that we need to shift to neutral. Raphah is a place of tranquility where you’re on a Holy Ghost autopilot. It’s a place where your agendas cease (that’s a good thing)😎 and you simply rest in His agenda of the moment. “Cease striving and know that I am God.” (NASB). This is the “sweet spot” for the prophetic gifting to work at a premium.🧐

“There remains, then, a Sabbath rest for the people of God. For whoever enters God’s rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from His. Let

us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following the same pattern of disobedience.…” Heb. 4:9-10.

“Holy Father, help your bride lay claim to the rest that was once spoken by your prophets. Bring us into that rest of the Holy Ghost. We lay claim to our true inheritance… a kingdom of righteousness, joy, and PEACE in the Holy Ghost. En el nombre Jesus! Amen!
