A Moment of Silence: God Wants to Speak to You

By Landy Pérez-Feliciano

God has designed a perfect plan and a specific purpose for each person who has decided to believe in His word. This book will inspire and allow you to dream and believe in the promises that God has declared. If youve been waiting for an answer from God and still havent heard anything, lower the volume of the noise surrounding you! He is trying to whisper the answer to your problem. Listen, because the solution might be in the gentle whisper.

A Moment of Silence will help you discover your purpose in God and will help you define your position in Him. Its content is light in the midst of darkness and a peace that calms the storm. God speaks in the midst of silence; we simply need to listen. A Moment of Silence will provide you with the direction and clarity you need. Dont miss Gods blessing in your life for not distinguishing His voice. His voice will give your life direction and guidance to the destiny He has prepared for you.

In the midst of your circumstances, the Lord says, I have a solution. I have a purpose for your life, and I want to reveal it to you as you stay still. Give Me a moment of silence. Are you willing to be silent and listen to Me?

If we desire to hear God, seeking his presence should be a priority in our lives. But how difficult this can be at times. I think that one of the greatest challenges we face as believers is to keep our relationship with the Lord as number one in our agenda. For this reason, I am glad to see that God continues to raise willing people, such as Landy, to share on this very important matter. I invite you to open your heart and get ready to hear what the Holy Spirit wants to speak to you through this book.

About the Author

God will not compete for your attention. If you want to live a kingdom life of victory and in the power in the Holy Spirit, you need to learn to set yourself apart and give the Lord your fully undivided attention so He can speak to you in moments of silence.

[The Reality of a Dream]

The most powerful moments of worship for me have been in moments of silence. As a worship leader I have been guilty of putting the leader role before the worship. I’ve felt the need to fill space or time with words while I feel that all eyes are on me. But it’s only when I surrender what I think I should say to hear what God has to say that brings real worship in Spirit and in Truth; for He is more than enough.

"A Moment of Silence is a beautifully written guide to the heart of God. Landy Pérez-Feliciano shows us how to truly connect with our loving God in the quiet moments of life. Read this book and your faith will grow. Best of all, you will be closer to God."

"Selah in the Hebrew Bible is used as a pause to meditate. It’s generally used in conjunction with musical notes when singing or playing an instrument; the pause is what the Hebrew Bible calls Selah. We all need time to meditate and evaluate and to hear the voice of God. In the times that we live we have so much social noise and other things that demand our attention, this proposal to make time to hear the voice of God is refreshing to the soul. Landy Pérez-Feliciano presents to us a fresh understanding on the meaning of Selah—our time of intimacy with God."

Egleyda Belliard,

Music minister

We face a world that tells us that our actions are the most important thing and we are constantly reminded that the faster we act the better it will be. Landy Pérez-Feliciano, a young women and a pastor’s daughter, presents us with a powerful spiritual proposal: God’s silence produces life experiences. This book will demonstrate that there is a new generation that has an intimate relationship with God. Because of this relationship, they are capable of sharing a live spiritual experience.

Southeast Regional Hispanic Church of God

God’s silence doesn’t equate to inaction. Via the conduit of God’s grace, what we perceive as silence actually points to a season of pruning and purging. For at the end of the day, as Jesus exemplified, the Lamb’s silence speaks louder than the rooster’s crow.

Rev. Samuel Rodriguez

President, NHCLC

Hispanic Evangelical Association

Desiring to live in a place of faith where there is no struggle, fear, or doubt? This book will inspire you to enter a settled rest, a place of continuous confidence that God is with us, that He cannot fail and that He who called us will see us through to the end. Take a moment, absorb these truths, and be encouraged in your faith journey.

Kaci Stewart

Pastor

Citylife Church, Tampa, Florida

One challenge in seeking God’s direction is actually waiting to hear His voice. The silence can seem monotonousness and deafening at times, but if you value what you’re waiting for, those moments of solitude will yield great dividends. Sometimes He speaks at the time you expect Him to speak; at other times you wait and wait and wait. It’s a question of what you value. Is He worth your time?

"I strongly believe that this book was written for such a time as this. We are a generation that lives in the rush age, in the midst of much noise. As I began to read through the pages of this book, I immediately felt peace and the desire to hear the voice of God stronger than ever. Landy Pérez-Feliciano is a beautiful woman of God giving us a fully biblically based
