In this reflective sermon, the speaker shares the pivotal lesson learned over the past seven to nine years: the necessity of truly listening to and following God’s voice. A prophetic utterance, rooted in Psalm 91, instructed them to “stop and stay,” prompting a deliberate pause in activity to wait for divine direction. The speaker describes the difficulty of this stillness, especially as a natural doer, and reveals a deep sense of vulnerability and perceived lack of personal value. They emphasize that progress cannot be earned through performance; instead, one must lie bare, awaiting God’s affirmation before moving forward.

Chapters

The most important thing the last 7 to 9 years have taught me is the value of following his voice, of really following his voice. I remember, you know, the last year I was in ministry, I really heard Yahweh say, stop and stay. And it came from, you know, Psalms 91. So as I was teaching that, as we were proclaiming it to one another, we thought that that's what we were doing at the time. And it was just this prophetic utterance of what the next 7 to 9 years would look like. It was really stopping what you were doing and placing such a high value on the voice of Yahweh that you were willing to not move and not be budged until you heard him say go or you heard him say speak. And that was the hardest part for me because I'm always a doer. And the reality was I still didn't believe that I was valuable. So it was almost this really vulnerable place, like, I have nothing to offer in this. I can't perform my way into this. I just have to lay here bare, vulnerable, until I hear the voice of the Lord speak to me and affirm me.
