STOP ASKING GOD—START LISTENING: SILENCE IS PRAYER | Joel S. Goldsmith

Описание: STOP ASKING GOD—START LISTENING: SILENCE IS PRAYER | Joel S. Goldsmith
What if the deepest prayer is not speaking to God… but standing still?

In this message inspired by Joel S. Goldsmith and The Infinite Way, we begin the hour the way true spiritual awakening begins: not with pleading, not with words aimed upward, not with mental effort—but with holy hush. The kind of stillness where striving ends and the soul remembers what it has always known: God is not distant. God is present.

This teaching challenges the most common spiritual habit: using prayer as a way to get something from God. When prayer becomes bargaining, persuading, or repeating words in hope that heaven will respond, it quietly reinforces the assumption of separation—as if God is “over there” and we are “down here.” Yet the inner whisper of Spirit says something entirely different:

“The kingdom of God is within you.”

If the kingdom is within, then prayer must turn within. Otherwise we “knock” at a door that was never closed while ignoring the sanctuary already open in our own consciousness. This is why the message returns again and again to a simple correction of direction: stop praying upward and stop praying outward—and begin praying inwardly.

Here, prayer is redefined as listening.
Not listening with the outer ear for dramatic messages, but listening with the inner awareness that becomes clear when the noise of thought subsides. The “still small voice” does not compete with mental clamor. It is felt as a quiet certainty, a settled peace, a guidance that does not shout—because truth doesn’t need to argue.

You’ll also hear why silence is not passivity:
Silence is the arena where God’s activity is revealed. “The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace”—not because nothing is happening, but because what is real is happening beyond human strain. In this spiritual mechanics, words are signposts, not destinations. Scripture is meant to lead you beyond the letter into the Spirit, where truth becomes lived experience.

A key revelation unfolds: there is a difference between being one with God unconsciously and living that oneness consciously. Oneness is already true for all—but it bears fruit when it is recognized. When recognition dawns, life shifts: fear loosens, guidance clarifies, supply appears without manipulation, relationships soften, and peace becomes less dependent on conditions. This is the dimension scripture calls grace—God living the life when the personal sense yields.

This is not theory to admire. It is a way of living:
short moments of stillness… gentle inward pausing… learning to rest rather than strain… letting prayer become communion instead of request.

If you’ve ever felt tired of “trying” spiritually, this message invites you into a simpler doorway:
Silence is prayer. Listening is prayer. Consent is prayer.

And from that inner sanctuary, the fruits appear—quietly, naturally, and without sorrow added.
