The Vision for Stillness
The Vision for Stillness
Entering into prayer can be in any situation, at any time, any place.
But it can be more than a simple move into the presence of God; it can be a conscious transition from the clamour and distractions of the world into the sanctuary of His Kingdom.
Patterned after the ancient Tabernacle, this prayer invites us on a journey: passing through the open door of Christ, offering ourselves at the altar of surrender, and walking through the illuminated Holy Place to the Holy of Holies.
Because the veil was supernaturally torn in two at the cross of Jesus, we are no longer kept at a distance in the outer courts. We are invited to enter directly into the Holy of Holies—the Throne Room of divine communion.
At the Mercy Seat, we are in intimate relationship. In holy stillness, we wait upon the Lord with a fixed gaze of faith, enveloped in His boundless love and deep rest. We join the host of heaven in adoration.
Here, our human weakness is exchanged for divine grace and strength before we are return back out to live as living temples in our communities.
