I will give you rest

Jesus said, “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

This is a profound promise that is connected to God’s covenant promise in Genesis 2:1-3, the Sabbath rest.

God finished his works on the seventh day of creation. He invited Adam and his family to benefit from the labor of the works of his hands. Adam lost it. Jesus restored it. God has restored that provision to us. God made provision for your healing and deliverance before the foundation of the world!

People are heavy laden with debt, sickness, and disease. They are yoked together to the broken systems of man that can’t really deliver them. They are in a fight against time. They are in battle for their lives.

The promise of entering into Jesus’ rest is supernatural and miraculous, but you don’t get their in one day.

The corruption in the world

We fight war against corruption that is in the world through lust.

It’s the hidden battle that wars against us, taking away our freedom and our choices.

It is the lust for more profits. It is hidden in fees, rent increases, back office deals, stripping your wealth, taking away your choices.

The battle that we fight every day is one against big corporations, corporate greed, and political agendas. The curse is working through sickness, disease, lack, and poverty.

The battle is spiritual. We are fighting against unseen spiritual forces. The Apostle Paul said our battle is not with flesh and blood. The battle is a spiritual battle. In Ephesians 6:12, he said,

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against  principalities against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”

The battle isn’t against those providing a service because the service providers are ponds in a chess game. They are working for a paycheck.

Satan uses money to tempt and drive people down one-way streets called dead ends.

1 Timothy 6:10

“For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and PIERCED THEMSELVES THROUGH WITH MANY SORROWS.”

BUT GOD

2 Peter 1:2-4

Grace and peace be multiplied unto you  through the knowledge of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:

(What is grace? What is peace? What is the definition of Savior? Who is our Savior?)

“According as his DIVINE POWER hath given unto us ALL THINGS that pertain to LIFE and godliness, THROUGH the knowledge of him that HATH CALLED us to glory and virtue.

(What are these promises based on? Your ability? The doctor’s ability? The lawyer’s ability? What did he call you to?)

WHEREBY ARE GIVEN UNTO US EXCEEDING GREAT AND PRECIOUS PROMISES: that… by… these… ye…. might… be PARTAKERS of the DIVINE NATURE, having… escape… the corruption that is in the world through lust.”

God has made a way of escape!

Sickness is working in your body. Big pharma makes a pill that can temporarily deal with the symptoms. Big pharma charges $500.00 per pill.

Each day, your strength is falling. YOU ARE not getting better but worse!

Believers are failing in the battle because they are tired of fighting. They have been disillusioned by the lies of big pharma or their medical plans, and / or their doctors have not been able to offer them hope against their diagnosis.

The system is cursed! The curse is working on the earth.

But the promise is,

I WILL GIVE YOU REST

Psalms 91 says,

Because he hath set his love upon me, (Psalms 91:14)

I will deliver him (Psalms 91:14)

I will set him upon high because he knows my name (Psalms 91:14)

He shall call upon me, and I will answer him (Psalms 91:15)

I will be with him in trouble (Psalms 91:15)

I will deliver him and honour him (Psalms 91:15)

I will satisfy him with long life and show him my salvation (Psalms 91:16)

The problem is that we don’t know how to enter into God’s rest

People hit a wall when it comes to receiving from God, and the name of the wall is called PRIDE…

Jeremiah 9:23-24, God said, ‘wise man don’t glory in your wisdom. Mighty man, don’t glory in your might. Rich man, don’t glory in your riches.

God said, ‘If you glory in anything, glory in that you understand and know me, that I exercise loving kindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth. He said, ‘for in these things, I delight!’

It is easy to believe in injustice, wrong, that rich have it all, that you can’t catch a break.

People are unwilling to do the advanced work of faith. They tend to exercise faith in a man’s system.

“Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. HIS breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.” Psalms 146:3-4 (KJV)

HAPPY is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God.” Psalms 146:5

God takes pleasure in,

“He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man. THE LORD TAKETH PLEASURE IN THEM THAT FEAR HIM, IN THOSE THAT HOPE IN HIS MERCY.” Psalms 147:10-11

Jesus said,

TAKE MY YOKE UPON YOU, AND LEARNOF…. ME, for I am meek and lowly in heart: and YE SHALL FIND UNTO YOUR SOUL. For my YOKE IS EASY, AND MY BURDEN IS LIGHT.”

Hebrews 4:1-4, the same promise made to the children of Israel to enter God’s rest has been made to us.

“LET US therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short if it. FOR UNTO US was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: BUT the word preached did not profit them, not being MIXED WITH FAITH in them that heard it. FOR WE WHICH HAVE BELIEVE DO ENTER INTO HIS…”

Entering Rest is a daily decision

There is a process to entering into God’s rest. It’s in your daily routine.

Hebrews 4:9-12, LET US labor to enter into that rest…

“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, PIERCING even to dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of SOUL and SPIRIT, and joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and the intents if the heart.”

The word of God is sharper than the surgeon’s knife. The word of God is living, alive and it is powerful. It is piercing

WHO ARE YOKED TO?

Are you yoked to a system? Are you yoked to medical plans, social security, employer, banks, credit cards, loans? Has sickness and disease attached itself to you?

Definition of yoke, ” a wooden crosspiece that is fasten to two animals and attached to a plow or cart that they are to pull.”

According to Isaiah 10:27, God said, the yoke and burden shall be destroyed because of the anointing

“And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulders, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.” Isaiah 10:27

One way that I practiced connecting to the promises is by taking Communion.

I build into my consciousness, that Christ hath redeemed me from the curse being made a curse for me.

Jesus took the curse for me. He paid in full for my redemption, Galatians 3:13

Jesus was pireced in his hands and feet on the cross. A Roman soldier pireced him in the side with a spear. His head was pierced with a crown of thorns. He was condemned for me.

Death, maybe trying to pirece you through, but the promise says (John 6:53-57)

“Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no LIFE in you. WHOSOEVER eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood hath eternal LIFE; and I will raise him up at the last day.

FOR my FLESH is MEAT indeed, and my BLOOD is drink indeed.

(Don’t dismiss the term “Eternal LIFE.” It is a description of the authority and power of God. You can see symbols of the flow of life throughout scripture, especially in Revelation 22:1-4. Jesus makes reference to Life when he describes the Father as “the living Father” because the Father is full of Life.)

He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. As the living Father hath sent me, and I LIVE BY the Father: SO he that eateth meEVEN SHALL LIVE BY ME.

The life of God is called the anointing in Isaiah 10:29! It is called the gift of God in John 3:16. In John 4:10-14, it is called a well of living water springing up into eternal life.

He that hath the Son hath life, 1 John 5:12.

So I confess by faith in the Son of God that I have the gift of life, the gift of God in me now. The life of God is working in me now overthrowing sickness and disease. Life is working in me now to unravel and destroy cancer, to utterly destroy it from my body.

I confess the gift of  life over myself, that my short and long-term memory are intact. I claim the promises!

I practice the word of God daily, and I expect a harvest to come to pass in my life!

Proverbs 18:20-21

“A man’s belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled. DEATH and LIFE are in POWER of the tongue: and they that LOVE IT SHALL EAT THE FRUIT THEREOF.”

Are you satisfied? Check the words of your mouth! What is coming out of your mouth? Are you speaking death? Or are you claiming life? Have you sided with your circumstances against the promises of God?

Develop fruit! The first time that you act upon the word, you will experience more doubt than faith because you are not developed in the process.

You must love the process! You must be committed to the process!

Do you have God’s vision? God’s vision is sabbath rest!

Do you understand seed time and harvest? You get what you sow!

One last word

We are living in the times of the parable of the 10 virgins, Matthew 25:1-13. This parable speaks to many issues.

The pressing issue of our day is preparation, which few people truly understand.

In the parable of the 10 virgins, if one of foolish virgins had asked me for some of my oil, I would have given it to them. If I were Jesus at the door, I would have opened the door for the late comers.

BUT I am not Jesus, AND THE POINT OF THE PARABLE IS PREPARATION.

The foolish virgins had to go to the marketplace and buy oil. They had to take time and spend time buying oil. They had to make the effort to get oil. It is a time issue! What are you doing with your time?

YOU HAVE TO GET IT FOR YOURSELF. NOBODY ELSE CAN DO YOUR PRAYING.

NOBODY CAN EXERCISE FAITH FOR YOU!

You have to have enough oil in yourself to get your breakthrough, to get your miracle,  to make it to the door.

You have to stop blowing time away, spending time on broke things, entertainment, and pursuing other people’s visions!

Jesus said, “Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, his ways of doing things, and all those other things shall be added to you as well!
