WHEN GOD FEELS SILENT: The JOEL S. GOLDSMITH Shift from EFFORT to GRACE

Описание: WHEN GOD FEELS SILENT: The JOEL S. GOLDSMITH Shift from EFFORT to GRACE


Have you ever whispered, “I pray… but nothing happens”?
“I meditate… but God feels silent”?
“I read scripture… but it doesn’t come alive”?

This teaching, inspired by Joel S. Goldsmith and The Infinite Way, begins with a liberating idea: the “silence” you fear may not be God’s absence—it may be the noise of expectation.

When we say “something is missing,” we unknowingly accept a painful assumption: that divine presence has withdrawn, that God is distant, that we’ve been overlooked. But scripture is uncompromising: “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” If God has not departed, then the feeling of distance cannot be caused by God. That realization isn’t a rebuke—it’s freedom.

This message gently reveals why so many sincere people feel stuck: spiritual effort is often mistaken for devotion. We try harder, repeat more words, push for reassurance, chase emotional confirmation, and measure prayer by results or sensations. Yet God does not promise to speak in the language of the senses. The “still small voice” does not compete with mental noise—it is recognized only when striving quiets.

You’ll explore the core turning point Joel S. Goldsmith emphasized:

Prayer is not reaching—prayer is yielding.

Effort assumes distance; yielding discovers presence.

Grace doesn’t arrive when you perform correctly—grace is uncovered when interference ends.

When silence feels empty, it may be the threshold where old methods stop working—not because they were wrong, but because you’re being led beyond them.

This talk also clarifies what “God’s silence” really means:
Often we’re listening for effects—improved conditions, bodily relief, emotional comfort, a clear message in words. When those don’t appear, we assume God hasn’t spoken. But the kingdom “cometh not with observation.” Divine activity can be deep, quiet, and real long before the surface of life changes.

You’ll learn the transition from asking to abiding—where prayer stops being a request and becomes a resting consciousness:

No pleading.

No forcing.

No spiritual performance.
Just the simple inner consent that God is present now.

If you’ve been tired of “trying to reach God,” this message invites a new posture: stop striving, stop measuring, stop demanding signs—and let silence become the place where grace reveals itself. Not later. Not after you improve. Now.

Listen with an open heart—and discover why surrender isn’t giving up… it’s finally letting God be God.
