 'Be Still' is a great starting point, it gives you the necesary to know and do Comtemplative prayer. May 11, 2010
Jesus J. Torres (San Juan, Puerto Rico)
Now that time has passed since i bought it, i have a better and more mature view on it. 'Be Still' is a great starting point, it gives you the necesary to know and do Comtemplative prayer. I love that it not only gives you the 'how-to guide' but also includes historical background for it. The first review i gave it, i said that it needed to be more developed, and though i still sort of think that it needs to be a bit more developed in how to do the 'comtemplative prayer' i had come to realize that the dvd's intention is not to be an 'advance full walkthrough-guide' but rather an 'appetizer' if you will.
Be Still Can Take You To A New Level of Prayer October 2, 2009

Be Still is a great DVD for those who just can't seem to find the time to pray. It presents a rational that examines the rush and tumble of today's action packed lifestyles and suggests and encourages various approaches to prayer that can work for those who have very busy lives. Even with just a casual viewing of the video, I was beginning to feel more relaxed and refreshed spiritually and emotionally. Armed with the wisdom and truth of this DVD, a person can learn to pray in a much more fulfilling manner. In this instance at least, success is its own reward. Be Still, can take prayer to a new level.

Prayer time has always been praise, thanks, confession, intersession, and supplication. It has always been "me" doing the talking and talking about what "I" want to talk about. "Be Still" gave me the insight to let God do the talking during prayer time. Listen for what He wants to talk about and what He says. The video is an excellent start, but buy the book, too.
Be still and know July 1, 2009

In this part of the "Be Still" website (http://www.bestillprayer.com/?content=faq), it clearly states that "BE STILL introduces a form of Christian contemplative prayer called "Lectio Divina" (which is Latin for "sacred" or "divine" reading)." FYI, Lectio Divina "is ordinarily confined to the slow perusal of sacred Scripture, both the Old and New Testaments; it is undertaken not with the intention of gaining information but of using the texts as an aide to contact the living God." In addition, "A person can linger over even a single word or phrase for an indefinite period of time after which one moves on to further slow and careful reflection." Both statements from www.lectio-divina.org.
These are absolutely unbiblical statements and absolutely antibiblical prayer techniques. The Bible is entirely True (Psalm 119:160), spiritual food for the true born again Christian (Hebrews 5:12-14), and necessary for Christian Sanctification (John 17:17). To promote using the Bible for babbling mantras and gaining extrabiblical information is NOT what God intended it for. Moreover, all Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
Finally the very title of the video is taken (out of context) from Psalm 46:10. The Hebrew word for "be still" is "raphah." In it's true context it literally means, "stay put," or "don't move hastly" in reference to man's attempt to help God end wars in the earth. The verse does not suggest an exercise for quieting the mind for fervent prayer or dialog with God. Period.
Do not let the fools who appear in this video stumble your walk with the Lord. Contemplative Prayer is unbiblical, unedifying, unsanctifying, and unnecessary. Jesus himself said that the only "stillness" necessary for prayer is the kind you find in your room with the door shut (Matthew 6:6).
The practice of "Contemplative Prayer" is no different than the practices encouraged by Eastern Meditation gurus such as Baghwan Shree Rajneesh, Shirdi Sai Baba, and the creator of Transcendental Meditation himself, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. I strongly encourage you to research their individual "philosophy" for contacting the living God. They are all (Contemplative Prayer included) actually demonic portals disguised as "Godly" techniques which they are not.
