Entering Into Rest: Part 2

FATHER anticipated every need you will ever have before you were formed in the womb.  What motivated HIM?  Agape Love!

Faith is our response to GOD’S grace.  Faith does not move GOD, it moves us to respond to HIS Word and act accordingly.  HE is at rest and does not need to create something new for us since HE deposited our full provision when we were formed in the womb.  We do not need to beg HIM for something we already have. Faith is our appropriation of what GOD has already provided by HIS grace.  If HE did not already provide it by grace, you cannot make it happen by faith.

FATHER anticipated every spiritual, physical, mental, emotional, and economic problem you would ever have and deposited provision for all of it by HIS grace.  HE did this through the atonement of Jesus and His Blood is more than sufficient in all areas of our lives.  That sufficiency allows us full access to our provision… today.

Rest is not inactivity but rather departing from walking in the soulish and fleshly realms (our self works) so that we are walking and being led fully by The Holy Spirit in all areas.  It takes away the demands of making things happened by our own methods apart from our gifts and callings.  It takes effort to enter into HIS rest.  I am personally immersing myself daily to be one with The Word and removing past erroneous teachings.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 4:

4 for it says in the Scriptures,

And on the seventh day God rested from all his works.

5 And again, as stated before,

They will not enter into my rest.  (Read Numbers chapter 14)

6 Those who first heard the good news of deliverance failed to enter into that realm of faith’s rest because of their unbelieving hearts. Yet the fact remains that we still have the opportunity to enter into the faith-rest life and experience the fulfillment of the promise! 7 For God still has ordained a day for us to enter into called “Today.” For it was long afterwards that God repeated it in David’s words,

“If only today you would listen to his voice

    and do not harden your hearts!”

8 Now if this promise of “rest” was fulfilled when Joshua brought the people into the land, God wouldn’t have spoken later of another “rest” yet to come. 9 So we conclude that there is still a full and complete Sabbath-rest waiting for believers to experience.

10 As we enter into God’s faith-rest life we cease from our own works, just as God celebrates his finished works and rests in them. 11 So then we must be eager to experience this faith-rest life, so that no one falls short by following the same pattern of doubt and unbelief.

Are you eager to enter into this faith-rest life and minister salvation, healing, and deliverance to others?  I am.  This zoe life is meant to share and be a walking advertisement to others.  Let not doubt and/or unbelief derail you from entering into the faith-rest life!

12 For we have the living Word of God, which is full of energy, like a two-mouthed sword. It will even penetrate to the very core of our being where soul and spirit, bone and marrow meet! It interprets and reveals the true thoughts and secret motives of our hearts. 13 There is not one person who can hide their thoughts from God, for nothing that we do remains a secret, and nothing created is concealed, but everything is exposed and defenseless before his eyes, to whom we must render an account.

We will give an account of our life when we go to Heaven.  Could we have done more for Jesus with the revelation being given to us now?  Are we holding back resources such as time and money meant for Kingdom expansion?  Are we operating at 100% , 50%, 20%, or even 5% of what we could have done?  Let THE SPIRIT show you where you are at?  Clearly, it is not for me to judge.  My responsibility to you is to increase that percentage no matter where it currently stands.  Enter in today!
