In the world, there is noise, unrest, and commotion. Therefore, seek silence. Give God at least ten minutes every morning. The Bible says:

“Be still, and KNOW that I am God.”
Psalms 46:10 (NKJV)

Every morning, we need to let God readjust us, strengthen us, speak to us, help us to focus correctly for the day ahead. Therefore, we should spend at least ten minutes alone with God in the morning. We give God “the first fruits” of our precious time. In the silence, God will restart us, cleanse us, and give us the right vision for the new day.

Martha, Mary, and Lazarus were some of Jesus' close friends (John 11:1). One day, Jesus visited their home in the town of Bethany. Mary “sat at Jesus’ feet and listened to His word” (Luke 10:39). Her sister Martha was busy serving Him by getting everything in place in the home. But Jesus corrected Martha:

“You are worried and troubled about many things. But one thing is needed. Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.”
Luke 10:41–42

↑ PRIORITIZED TIME: Silence before the Lord's presence and worship of Him must come before busyness in work and service, children, family, and other things.

We must learn to prioritize silence before the Lord's presence over spiritual stress. We must not let busyness in work and service, children, family, and other things come before closeness to God and worship of Him! We must also learn to wait on God and not be driven by performance anxiety and frustration in service. Paul says: “I die daily.” (1 Corinthians 15:31). He let God restart him every day. He was open to new visions, new thoughts, and new methods for the time ahead of him. We must do the same.

Saul lost his kingdom because he did not wait seven days for the prophet Samuel to come and appoint him as king (1 Samuel 13:12–13). It was an expensive lesson! And while we wait for His revelation, our focus must be on Jesus and not on people and problems:

“Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.”
Hebrews 12:2

While we wait, we are readjusted and strengthened anew by the Spirit of God for new visions and services for the Lord:

“But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.”
Isaiah 40:31

We have consecrated anointing oil for those who desire such a small bottle. I have prayed over it so that God's healing power has entered it. By applying a couple of drops to yourself every morning and evening, God's healing power can break the yoke of illness. It can also protect you from falling ill. The Bible says:

“It is the anointing oil that breaks the yoke.”
Isaiah 10:27 (NKJV)

Many have asked me, “How can you continue year after year to pray and converse with people with 70-hour work weeks, even without a holiday?” The answer may be the use of the anointing oil and constant close contact with God many hours every day. Praying for others brings me blessing and power. And then I have many who pray for me every day. A big thank you to all of them!!
