Hi all you holy saints, and everybody being part of the calling of God who asks us to “Come up hither” and to think as He does (Is 55:11) with the mind of Christ, our First-born Brother calling us His brothers and counting us as His friends.
Da (the) Flow We keep our eyes fixed on Him and Him alone, we do not listen to or speak of “rumours and wars”, because we love and His perfect love casts out all fear. We focus on Him, being sent of God and the High Priest of our testimony (Jesus Christ). We testify that Jesus Christ is Lord through His blood and by the Holy Spirit of whom we are the temples— the indwelling Christ whom we proclaim, the hope of glory in whom the fullness of God dwells. May the Anointed indwelling Christ become perfectly mature in everyone of us and our disciples so that we will be like Him, talk like Him, and walk and act like Him!
To be like Him, we all have to enter into God’s Rest. (Read Heb 4:4-10)
Da (the) Facts Let’s talk about the 3 R’s: Rest, Revelation and Run with joy.
Only when we rest in God and listen to His voice, and rest in quietness before Him, can we receive the revelation, the divine response from Him that will empower us to run with joy. Then and only then can we enter into His rest—that is a ceasing of all self-initiated works.
As Jesus only did what He saw the Father doing, so we will enter a place of rest where we will only do what our Father commands us to do through the Holy Spirit. We will cease to do so-called faith works that brings a sense of doing good, but was not inspired by the Holy Spirit.
The rest Heb 4 refers to is the perpetual sabbath to be enjoyed uninterruptedly by believers in their fellowship with the Father and the Son, in contrast to the weekly Sabbath under the Law. Because this sabbath "rest" is the "rest" of God Himself. In whatever way we enter into Divine "rest," that which we enjoy is involved in an unbreakable, indissoluble relation with God. His Presence will bring the rest.
You are God’s resting place, a Holy but mobile, moving mansion, a mobile worship unit, a moving mountain called Zion. We are a 24/7 Sabbath rest people.
Da (the) lee-tle Greek
Rest: sabbatismos: the perpetual sabbath "rest" to be enjoyed uninterruptedly by believers in their fellowship with the Father and the Son - The rest of God Himself. Revelation: chrematismos: vision, or a divine response or revelation, or answer of God. Run : Rivers run potable gold, to be liquid or fluid, to have a course or direction.
Da (the) New Wine - Have a sip...
“A merry heart does good like a medicine…” Prov 22:17
The preacher was wired for sound with a lapel mic, and as he preached, he moved briskly about the platform, jerking the mic cord as he went. Then he moved to one side, getting wound up in the cord and nearly tripping before jerking it again.
After several circles and jerks, a little girl in the third pew leaned toward her mother and whispered, "If he gets loose, will he hurt us?"
Run with joy (faith action) to be obedient to what God wills you to do for Him! Enjoy your blissful rest in Him, all you beautiful beloved sons and daughters of our Father!
Be Blessed, Be Bold, Be Free and Be Abundantly Prosperous in Him!
