How To Get in the Spirit in
Less Than an Hour
It’s just as simple as salvation.
Waiting on God.
Acts 1:4-5
And being assembled together with them, He
commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the
Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard from Me; for John truly baptized with
water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”
NKJV
Psalms 62:1
Truly my soul silently waits for God; from Him
comes my salvation. NKJV
Psalms 130:5-6
5 I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
And in His word I do hope.
6 My soul waits for the Lord
More than those who watch for the morning —
Yes, more than those who watch for the morning.
NKJV
Intellect calms down, emotions settle down when waiting
on the Lord in His Presence.
Put all anger and frustrations out of your heart.
Be still and know that I am God. Psalms 46:10
If you are uptight or begging God to do something,
then God cannot get through.
His grace shows up.
Isaiah 33:2
O Lord, be gracious to us; we have waited for You.
Be their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble. NKJV
Rest in the Lord. Waiting is resting.
Psalms 37:7-8
7 Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him;
Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way,
Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to
pass.
8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath;
Do not fret — it only causes harm. NKJV
Wait on the Lord and He will strengthen your heart
(or your spirit).
Psalms 27:14 Wait on the Lord; be of good courage,
and He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord! NKJV
The Lord wants to be gracious to you.
Isaiah 30:18
Therefore, the Lord will wait, that He may be
gracious to you; And therefore He will be exalted, that He may have mercy on
you. For the Lord is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for Him.
NKJV
When you wait, God moves. You cannot have the
fullness of the Spirit until you wait. Waiting empties self.
The Holy Spirit is the innermost being or self of
God. The Holy Spirit is the fullness of who God is. He knows the deep things of
God.
“Be still” means to not let flesh show up. God
wants your spirit. The flesh is always active and never still.
Waiting on the Lord brings us into emptiness and
nothingness (of the flesh part of us).
In waiting, there is strength. Mount up with wings
as eagles.
Isaiah 40:31
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. NKJV
When the soul sinks down into nothingness, you are
brought into divine fullness of God.
In the multitude of words, there is more blockages
in the Spirit you create. Be silent before the Lord.
The realm of the Spirit won’t be known to you if
you are always talking.
Do not fight Him or scream at Him. All you are
doing is wearing yourself out. Be silent before the Lord and listen for Him to
speak to you. Quiet your spirit down.
2 Corinthians 3:18 We are transformed by the Spirit
of the Lord from one degree of glory to another.
“But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a
mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from
glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.” NKJV
The Holy Spirit protects you from demons.
Isaiah 40:10
0 Behold, the Lord God shall
Come with a strong hand,
And His arm shall rule for Him;
Behold, His reward is with Him,
And His work before Him. NKJV

Listen to the Quiet
God has shown me several unforgettable lessons
about the power of silence, and I want to briefly share these five blessings
from listening to the quiet.
When Kathryn Kuhlman said, “Quiet, please,” it was
obvious she was serious. Everything stopped. Charlie, her talented organist,
played ever so softly or not at all. Everyone became completely silent.
This went on for 10 minutes or so. The silence was
almost overwhelming. Then this fellow seated near the front began to whisper
into his hands which were cupped over his mouth: “Praise You, Jesus. Praise
You, Jesus.”
Immediately Miss Kuhlman spoke emphatically, “Sir,
I said quiet!”
I had never seen anything like it. Absolute silence
returned, except for Charlie’s soft playing.
Minutes more passed. Finally, she said, barely
audibly in just a whisper, “He comes in when you’re quiet.”
Then she repeated it, even softer: “He comes in
when you’re quiet.”
I was a young believer, though by this time I had
started ministering. Still, nothing I had seen in previous services had
prepared me for this. I didn’t know what was going to happen. But I waited…and
waited…and waited…
Then it happened!
All over the auditorium, miracles began to take
place.
During the next hour, Miss Kuhlman talked to those
throughout the audience who had been healed. One by one, in front of everyone,
people of all ages shared how God’s anointing had moved over them in the midst
of the silence!
“Get Very Quiet!”
I went back to Canada after that memorable service,
and I thought, “I’m going to try this in one of my services.” After all, I had
already learned and experienced so much from Kathryn’s meetings. God certainly
used her for miracles all over the world, and He used her, graciously and
mercifully, to teach and inspire me in those early days of my ministry.
I decided to try it one night, but the choir was
wild, wonderful, and enthusiastic. Many of them were Jamaicans and Haitians,
and the rest were a mixture of all backgrounds. Above all, they were
charismatic, so their exuberance was only exceeded by their desire to worship
the Lord.
The hall was packed. When the time came that I felt
I should ask everyone to be quiet, my choir was having none of that! They were
enjoying the presence of the Lord. It took me 20 minutes to finally get them to
quiet down, and even then they kept saying, “Thank You, Lord. Praise You,
Lord!”
They were doing exactly what you would expect of
excited, charismatic Christians.
I kept saying, “Quiet, please.” They did their
best. I looked over at my song leader, and his face spoke volumes as he
wondered what in the world was going on.
Frankly, I was beginning to wonder the same thing!
I honestly didn’t know whether I was doing
something right or not. All I knew was that Kathryn had done it, and the Lord
had acted powerfully.
I figured, “If nothing happens, I’ll forget it and
move on.”
Meanwhile, I kept repeating, “Quiet, please.”
Finally, the hall became silent. It was really,
really quiet.
I didn’t know what to do next, so I waited and
stayed still. Ten minutes passed. Twenty. Thirty.
I kept waiting with my eyes shut so very tightly. I
had no idea what was going to happen—if anything. And after all that time, I
didn’t want to look.
Suddenly something happened that startled everyone,
including me.
Bang!
What was that?
Another loud bang!
More bangs. Finally, I could resist no longer. I
opened my eyes. By that time, at least three people, maybe more, in different
parts of the room had fallen.
While I was looking around, two more went down!
Then whoosh! Something filled the hall. I felt
something like a strong electrical charge, like what I think a bolt of
lightning would be. I felt a numbness sweep across my body.
And right before my eyes, almost everything there
crumbled to the floor. Virtually no one was standing but me.
I was stunned. My song leader lay on the floor
weeping. The musicians, the ushers, everyone was on the floor.
I grasped the pulpit tightly, and I heard the voice
of God say to me, “I left you standing to see it!”
God moved so mightily that night, and I learned a
very personal lesson of listening to the quiet.
More Quietness.
God wasn’t finished teaching me.
A few days later a friend named Peter called. He
said, “I want to take you somewhere tomorrow morning, but you have to be ready
by 5 o’clock.”
“What for?”
I guess it was apparent from the tone of my voice
that I wasn’t especially fond of rising so early in the morning.
“Never mind,” he answered. “I’ll pick you up at 5.”
Peter was a good friend and a strong believer, so
thought I’d go along with whatever surprise he had in mind.
As promised, he picked me up at 5. We headed out in
his car. You don’t have to drive far out of Toronto to be in the woods, and
that’s where we were shortly.
He parked, and we began walking several minutes
into the forest. I was more puzzled than ever. Soon we were deep in the woods
with nothing but trees, birds, and squirrels. I hoped there was nothing more
dangerous out there.
We finally stopped, and he said, “I’ll be right
back.”
I figured he needed to go the bathroom, so I stood
waiting. And I waited. And I waited. Ten minutes turned into 20. It was very
quiet, and I began hearing sounds I’d never heard before. I could even hear my
heart pounding. The silence was immense.
By this time, I became really concerned. I assumed
my friend would be back by now. So I yelled his name. Louder.
I was met with silence.
Then he suddenly jumped from behind a bush and
scared me to death!
“That’s why I brought you out here!” Peter said.
“To scare me to death?” I asked.
“No,” he answered. “It was to teach you that you
don’t know how to be quiet. You’re always talking and moving around and making
noise. I brought you to the woods to teach you how to listen to the quiet.”
I tried to understand, but I was mostly mad at him.
“Do you know,” my friend continued, “that the great
Bible teacher Dwight L. Moody said, ‘If I can take an unbeliever and get him
quiet for five minutes, and in those five minutes have him think about
eternity, I can get him saved. I won’t have to say anything’?”
That made such an impression on my tender heart.
Later, I read what the wonderful missionary leader
Andrew Murray (1828-1917) wrote in his classic book, Waiting on God:
As long as the waiting on God is chiefly regarded
as an end toward more effectual prayer, and the obtaining of our petitions,
this spirit of perfect quietness will not be obtained. But, when it is seen
that waiting on God is itself an unspeakable blessedness — one of the highest
forms of fellowship with the Holy One — the adoration of Him in His glory will
of necessity humble the soul into a holy stillness, making way for God to speak
and reveal Himself.
It has taken me a lifetime to truly process what
Miss Kuhlman, my friend Peter, Dwight L. Moody, and Andrew Murray taught me, as
well as everything the Bible teaches, about listening to the quiet. I’m quite
happy to tell you that I’m still learning what solitude with my Father can
truly mean.
Five Blessings from Sacred Quietness
Along the way, God has shown me several
unforgettable lessons about the power of silence, and I want to briefly share
these five blessings from listening to the quiet.
A sacred quietness focuses on God, not you.
We are told, “Be still before the Lord and wait
patiently for him” (Psalm 37:7 ESV). Wait for Him. Seek the Giver, not just the
gifts. Andrew Murray wrote, “Give God His glory by resting in Him, by trusting
Him fully, by waiting patiently for Him. This patience honors Him greatly; it
leaves Him, as God on the throne, to do His work; it yields self wholly into
His hands. It lets God be God.”
A sacred quietness ushers you into God’s very
presence and power.
The Holy Spirit Himself is often very quiet. You
must learn to get still before the Lord and worship Him quietly. Only then can
you understand the anointing that often comes in silence. This is why God
Himself tells us, “Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among
the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” (Psalm 46:10 ESV).
A sacred quietness helps you hear God’s voice.
Remember how Samuel, as a child, was beckoned by
God during the night? Twice he heard the Almighty’s voice. Finally, on the
advice of Eli, his mentor, the youngster waited in the silence until he heard
the voice calling his name. He replied, “Speak. I’m your servant, ready to
listen” (1 Samuel 3:10 MSG). God told him to listen carefully, and quickly
began giving instructions that would begin changing the course of history. The
more time you spend alone with God, the more you’ll learn how to recognize His
voice when He speaks to you. Be alert for the Holy Spirit witnessing to your
spirit. Always remember, the Holy Spirit will reveal truth to you only as
you’re able to hear it.
A sacred quietness invites God to work in you
according to His timing.
The God who created the perfect Garden of Eden
remains the Master Gardener seeking to see your life grow and flourish. Like
the Father, “the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting
patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain” (James 5:7 NKJV).
He knows when we are ready—spiritually, emotionally, physically, relationally,
and financially—when we are “ripe” and ready to receive the rains and,
eventually, the harvest. Much of that time is waiting in silence, observing the
process and seasons. If God waits longer than you would prefer, remember we are
told, “There’s an opportune time to do things, a right time for everything on
the earth” (Ecclesiastes 3:1 MSG). Our times are in His hands, but learning to
trust Him, even in the quiet, goes against everything most of us tend to do in
life. Trust His timing!
A sacred quietness brings godly wisdom and
understanding, despite your circumstances.
The prophet Isaiah, writing under the inspiration
of the Holy Spirit, said, “Take heed, and be quiet” (Isaiah 7:4 NKJV). Being
silent and heeding God’s still, small voice goes hand-in-hand. We are told,
“Oh, that you would be silent, and it would be your wisdom” (Job 13:5 NKJV);
“Teach me, and I will be quiet. Show me where I have been wrong” (Job 6:24
NLV). Silence allows you to pay attention to what’s stirring in your soul.
Instead of quashing or ignoring what’s going on in your spirit, pursue even
more strongly your time with God in solitude.
I strongly encourage you to include a godly
stillness into your life regularly. Set aside time as often as you can.
Understand that you will face resistance. That’s
human nature. But don’t let anything keep you away from seeking Almighty God in
a sacred silence.
People today are so used to constant noise and
hectic schedules, so it takes a special commitment and discipline to spend time
in solitude. Yet that’s where you will encounter God!
Again, quoting from Andrew Murray in Waiting on
God:
Take time to be separate from all friends and all
duties, all cares and all joys; time to be still and quiet before God. Take
time not only to secure stillness from man and the world, but from self and its
energy. Let the Word and prayer be very precious. But remember, even these may
hinder the quiet waiting. The activity of the mind in studying the Word or
giving expression to its thoughts in prayer, the activities of the heart, with
its desires and hopes and fears, may so engage us that we do not come to the
still waiting on the All glorious One; our whole being is prostrate in silence
before Him.
Listen to the quiet. It can usher you into the
greatest adventure of your life!

Notes About the Holy Spirit
Benny Hinn Broadcast
2 Corinthians 13:14
The grace (favor and spiritual blessing) of the
Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the presence and fellowship (the
communion and sharing together, and participation) in the Holy Spirit be with
you all. Amen (so be it). AMP
The word “fellowship” or Greek koinonia means:
1.
Presence
2.
Fellowship
3.
Sharing Together
4.
Participation
5.
Intimacy
6.
Friendship
7.
Communion
The Holy Spirit desires daily communion with us.
Our Christian life has no power apart from the Holy Spirit.
Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty. 2
Corinthians 3:17 says, “Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of
the Lord is, there is liberty.”
John 14:16 says, “And I will pray the Father, and
He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you forever.”
We are not left as orphans because we have the Holy
Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is the most sensitive member of the
Godhead.
He is easily grieved. Ephesians 4:30 “And do not
grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of
redemption.” NKJV
He is the Helper of our infirmities. John 14:16
“And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter (Counselor,
Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby), that He may remain
with you forever.” AMP
He is the Spirit of Truth. John 16:13-15 says:
13 But when He, the Spirit of Truth (the
Truth-giving Spirit) comes, He will guide you into all the Truth (the whole,
full Truth). For He will not speak His own message [on His own authority]; but
He will tell whatever He hears [from the Father; He will give the message that
has been given to Him], and He will announce and declare to you the things that
are to come [that will happen in the future].
14 He will honor and glorify Me, because He will
take of (receive, draw upon) what is Mine and will reveal (declare, disclose,
transmit) it to you.
15 Everything that the Father has is Mine. That is
what I meant when I said that He [the Spirit] will take the things that are
Mine and will reveal (declare, disclose, transmit) it to you. AMP
1 Corinthians 2:9 was a quote from the prophet
Isaiah:
9 But, on the contrary, as the Scripture says, What
eye has not seen and ear has not heard and has not entered into the heart of
man, [all that] God has prepared (made and keeps ready) for those who love Him
[who hold Him in affectionate reverence, promptly obeying Him and gratefully
recognizing the benefits He has bestowed].
In Verse 10, we can know what God has prepared for
us by His Spirit unveiling it to us.
Verse 10 Yet to us God has unveiled and revealed
them by and through His Spirit, for the [Holy] Spirit searches diligently,
exploring and examining everything, even sounding the profound and bottomless
things of God [the divine counsels and things hidden and beyond man's
scrutiny].
Who knows you better than your own heart? Who knows
the Spirit better than He Himself?
1 Corinthians 2:11 says, “For what person perceives
(knows and understands) what passes through a man's thoughts except the man's
own spirit within him? Just so no one discerns (comes to know and comprehend)
the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.” AMP
The Holy Spirit intercedes for us when we don’t
know what to pray. Romans 8:26-27 says:
26 So too the [Holy] Spirit comes to our aid and
bears us up in our weakness; for we do not know what prayer to offer nor how to
offer it worthily as we ought, but the Spirit Himself goes to meet our
supplication and pleads in our behalf with unspeakable yearnings and groanings
too deep for utterance.
27 And He Who searches the hearts of men knows what
is in the mind of the [Holy] Spirit [what His intent is], because the Spirit
intercedes and pleads [before God] in behalf of the saints according to and in
harmony with God's will. AMP
Zechariah 4:6-7 tells us:
This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel:
6 “Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,”
says the Lord of hosts.
7 “Who are you, O great mountain?
Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain!” NKJV
Matthew 21:21-22 says:
21 And Jesus answered them, Truly I say to you, if
you have faith (a firm relying trust) and do not doubt, you will not only do
what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, “Be
taken up and cast into the sea”, it will be done.
22 And whatever you ask for in prayer, having faith
and [really] believing, you will receive. AMP
Jesus is the revelation of all the Father is. He is
the express image of the Father (John 14:9; Hebrews 1:3).
John 14:18 says, “I will not leave you as orphans
[comfortless, desolate, bereaved, forlorn, helpless]; I will come [back] to
you.” AMP
The Holy Spirit will take all hardness of heart
out. Ezekiel 11:19 tells us:
“And I will give them one heart, and I will put a
new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and
will give them a heart of flesh.”
The Holy Spirit is your Helper. Don’t ignore Him.
Stop pushing Him aside. With the Holy Spirit there is life, liberty and beauty.
Be introduced to the Person of the Holy Spirit
today.

Seven Blessings of Malachi 3:10-12
Malachi 3:10-12 KJV says,
10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse,
that there may be meat in Mine house, and prove Me now herewith, saith the Lord
of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a
blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes,
and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine
cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the Lord of hosts.
12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye
shall be a delightsome land, saith the Lord of hosts.
This passage of the Word of God declares the seven
amazing blessings of the tithe:
1.
You will have revival.
2.
You will experience great
prosperity.
3.
The enemy will be crippled and
will not touch your life.
4.
Your finances will be safe.
5.
Your family will be safe from the
hand of the enemy.
6.
You will be a great witness of
the power and blessings of the Lord to the nations.
7.
You will be highly desired, and
God will use you for His glory!
God has such a powerful outpouring as you spend
time in His Presence and do as He directs. From the beginning, God has desired
to fellowship with His children.

Seven Reasons for Divine
Healing and Miracles
Let me share seven of God’s many purposes or
reasons for healing people—then and now.
Reason
#1: Jesus heals because He is full of compassion.
A leper came to Jesus, “…beseeching him, and
kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me
clean” (Mark 1:40). What was the Lord’s response? “And Jesus, moved with
compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be
thou clean” (verse 41). It was compassion that led to the miracle. Jesus Christ
heals people today for the same reason, so that “…the goodness of God leadeth
thee to repentance” (Romans 2:4).
Reason
#2: Jesus heals because healing belongs to His children.
Once, when Jesus was preaching near the city of
Tyre, a Syrophenician fell at His feet, asking Him to cast an unclean spirit
out of her daughter. Jesus said to her, “Let the children first be filled: for
it is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it unto the dogs. And
she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of
the children’s crumbs” (Mark 7:27-28). The Lord saw the woman’s faith and the
daughter was delivered. If you are a child of the King, healing should come to
you first, even before unbelievers receive their miracle. Yet I watch as those
who do not know the Lord reach out in great faith, hungry for the crumbs. And
time after time He pours out His healing virtue upon these people. Thank God,
healing is often the entry point that helps people receive Jesus Christ as
Savior.
Reason
#3: Jesus heals to bring glory to His Father.
On the side of a mountain near the sea of Galilee,
“great multitudes came unto Him…and he healed them…(and) the multitude
wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to
walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel” (Matthew
15:30-31). On another occasion, there was a similar response when Jesus healed
a paralytic man. “…When the multitude saw it, they marvelled, and glorified
God” (Matthew 9:8). All glory and praise belongs to the Father. Healing is a wonderful,
awe-inspiring faith-builder that should lead to glorifying God.
Reason
#4: Jesus heals to fulfill God’s promises.
At Capernaum, “they brought unto him many that were
possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed
all that were sick: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the
prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses”
(Matthew 8:16-17). When the Master heals, it is a fulfillment of the prophecy
spoken through Isaiah. On the cross, Christ took our sickness and infirmities.
Reason
#5: Jesus heals also to confirm His own Word.
Healing was promised by the Father, then declared
by Jesus Christ. He said, “If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and
believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him” (John 10:37-38). Christ knew
exactly why He was sent to earth. He came to perform the works of His Father.
Miracles confirm the spoken word of Jesus. He heals to fulfill His personal
word to you.
Reason
#6: Jesus heals to show you the power in His Blood.
The prophecy declared in Isaiah 54:4-5 was
fulfilled 20 centuries ago: “…he was bruised for our iniquities: the
chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.”
The blood of Jesus was shed to forgive sin and provide healing.
Reason
#7: Every time the Lord heals, the devil’s defeat at the Cross is exposed once
again.
The Word tells us, “For this purpose the Son of God
was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil” (1 John 3:8). At
the house of Cornelius, Peter said, “You know…how God anointed Jesus of
Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and
healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him” (Acts
10:37-38).
Divine
Healing
Jesus knows everything about you. You are His
treasure. He even knows the number of hairs on your head (Matthew 10:29-31). He
desires to show mercy and healing toward you. You are so precious that He died
on the cross for your sin and your infirmities. Let the Great Physician bring
healing and deliverance to you today!
God wants you to live in divine healing and health.
It is God's will that no one should perish (end up in hell), but that ALL should come to repentance.
For God so loved this world that He gave His only begotton Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
God did not send His Son into this world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him would be saved.
The thief (Satan the devil) comes only for to kill, steal and destroy. But Jesus has come to give us life, and life more abundantly, until it overflows.
I urge you to come to the Cross today and receive Jesus as your Savior and Lord. He will wash away all your sins and make you as clean and white as fresh snow.
Just pray this prayer and mean it with your heart:
Dear Lord Jesus (if you are not able to call him Lord yet, then just say "Jesus")
I receive You as my Savior and Lord. I give my life over to You. I believe that You died and rose again, and that if I call on the Name of the Lord I shall be saved.
I accept you into my heart right now, and confess that You are Lord and have risen from the dead and forever live to make intercession for me.
Thank You for washing my heart pure and clean and making me whole, and for giving me peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Thank You that now I am a new creature in Christ Jesus. The old has gone and the new has come.
And there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh (carnality and sin), but walk after the Spirit. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
If you prayed this prayer, I believe you got born again and are now heaven bound and will be with the Lord forever and have eternal life. Your sins are now forgiven. You are accepted in the Beloved.
I would encourage you to find a good Bible based local church to help you grow in your faith, to learn the Word of God, to praise and worship Him, and to have fellowship with the saints.
Serving Christ is the best decision you will ever make.
God bless you!!!
