We must develop that father-child relationship.
And they heard the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day (Genesis 3:8). How the Lord cherishes intimacy by spending quiet time with a man he so loved that he gave his only begotten Son. Similarly, we must learn how to keep quiet time with God. Here lies the secret to developing that father-child relationship between us and God.
Consequently, the easiest way to have a close encounter with Jesus is by maintaining a regular engagement of 15, 30, 45 minutes, 1 hour, or more with the Holy Spirit. Thus, people refer to this as participating in Holy Ghost School, which includes daily quiet time, devotion, and more.
As this is a time for meditation or keeping a covenant with the Lord, who does not fail and whom you would not wish to fail, consider the most convenient time for you when selecting minutes, hours, or periods of the day—morning, afternoon, evening, or night.
Good morning, Holy Spirit. Learn how to keep quiet.
And visit the same closet at the same hour, sit in the same seat, read the Bible or devotional journals or books, or meditate in Spirit. Furthermore, ensure you stop at precisely the same time each day.
You will notice that the Holy Spirit keeps time. Even before you enter the closet, you see Him already there, waiting for you to teach you how to spend quiet time with God.
Keep your phone switched off, do not answer it if there is a knock at the door, and steer clear of any distractions.
Let’s say you choose 6 a.m. or 6:30 a.m. to 7 a.m. or p.m. daily. At 6 a.m., you’re seated, and at 7 a.m., you’re up on your feet. Now, focus on maintaining quiet time with God, but be mindful of distractions.
The secret to successful quiet timekeeping with the Lord is to regularly and strictly maintain your chosen time.
It is time (e.g., 6:00 am). Please do not take it for granted. Do make your presence known to the Holy Spirit. Speak, e.g., “Holy Spirit, I have come to the ark of Your presence at Your banquet table, good morning.”
Then, ask him to serve you the finest wheat, the best meat, and the most exquisite wine to drink. This is not a prayer session; you may pray before or after attending the Holy Ghost School. It is all about conversing with Him.
Do not miss how to keep quiet time with God.
Quiet time with God serves to nourish your spirit, enhancing the fruits of the Spirit within you while simultaneously eliminating the vices you were born with or those implanted by Satan.
Furthermore, as you are in His presence, the Lord also instructs you. Ask Him to come and guide you; open your Bible and read for 30 minutes, if you have decided on 30 minutes.
Study the Bible or use books for spiritual growth, personal development, and character transformation. They are the finest spiritual materials for maintaining quiet time with God.
While reading, remain in the Spirit and stay alert. He is watching you and can intervene at any moment. You are there to develop a communicative relationship with Him. Keep this in mind.
When you finish observing the covenant time each day, thank the Holy Spirit and close the Bible or the Christian spiritual book you are using.
You may pray if you haven’t done so before; otherwise, pray at any time. Jesus began with prayer and concluded with prayer. However, we are discussing how to maintain quiet time with God, not how to pray.
The Bible instructs us to pray without ceasing. As we remain faithful in fellowshipping with Him, He will begin to empower us.
Thus, gradually, with long nails and heavy hammers, He will begin to knock off those vices the devil has planted in you, one by one. As a result, you will notice spiritual outcomes as the devotion continues.
Implement it and see fantastic results.
When you enter the presence of God to partake at His table in your closet, at the time you have chosen, you may begin in this manner:
Good morning or afternoon, Father. Thank you for bringing me into your presence in Mount Zion to the ark this evening. Father, I am now ready to feast at your table.
Holy Spirit, nourish me with the finest wheat, the best meat, and the finest wine.
Father also offers me the bread of your presence and the water of life of Christ to drink (after a meal, one consumes water).
So that I may hunger and thirst no more; to hear from you audibly, in dreams, visions, revelation, sent words, or in any other way according to your will.
Thank you, Father, for granting me the power and authority to trample upon serpents and scorpions. Furthermore, I have the strength against the enemy, and nothing shall harm me in Jesus’ Name.
Thank you, Father, for filling me with the Spirit, wisdom, understanding, knowledge, excellent Spirit, and a sound mind. I seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness in everything I do, at all times. Therefore, add unto me all other things in Jesus’ Name.
Lastly, I thank you, Holy Spirit, for coming this morning to teach me all about God. Please open my eyes to understanding and help me grasp the natural and spiritual meanings of every word through this Bible or book.
Covenant-keeping time is having a talking relationship with God.
Then, open the Bible or a Christian spiritual book and study for the minutes or hours you agree upon with the Holy Spirit.
And straight away, it’s time to stop, mark the page, and continue from there the next day.
You begin and conclude the devotion by expressing gratitude to Him. Spending quiet time with God is, indeed, intriguing.
Final Greetings to End the Quiet Time with God:
Thank you, Holy Spirit, for leading me to the ark of your presence on Mount Zion and nourishing me at your table with the finest wheat, the best meat, and the finest wine.
Father, thank you also for giving me the bread of presence and the water of life of Christ to drink so that I hunger and thirst no more.
Thus, I can hear you audibly, in dreams, visions, revelations, sent words, or any other means you may choose. Father, thank you for establishing a perfect talking relationship with me.
Thank you, Father, for granting me the power and authority to trample upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing shall, by any means, hurt me in Jesus’ name.
Thank you, Father, for filling me with the Spirit, wisdom, understanding, knowledge, an excellent spirit, and a sound mind. I seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness in everything I do and at all times. Therefore, you shall add unto me all other things in Jesus’ Name. Amen
Do this every day as you dine with Him at His table, and it shall be well with you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. This is how to maintain quiet time with God.
