REST!

We were not meant to be beasts of burden....we were meant to rest! It is a huge part of trusting in the Lord! We can rest when we are secure in His finished work. In His death, burial and resurrection, He gave us EVERYTHING we need to live our lives through Him in us. We are wonderfully made and called according to His purposes. When we surrender and give our cares to Him is when we walk in true joy and happiness. He chose us, and appointed us, and has plans for us. Have faith in His finished work! FAITH IS A REST!
Matthew 11:28-29 Then Jesus said, "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you WILL FIND REST for your weary souls."

Hebrews 4:10-11 For he that is entered into His rest, he also hath CEASED FROM HIS OWN WORKS, as God did from His. Let us labor therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

Jesus said to LABOR to enter into that rest! That must mean that our default mode is to be self righteous and self sufficient. Won't you believe that He wants you to cast your cares on Him today, and stop trying save yourself?

FEED MY SHEEP

I recently got a word from the Lord about the direction in which I am to go. I asked Him, "Lord, am I really supposed to write a book? Is this really Your will for me? I am not qualified, but I will do as you say, Lord." A while later I felt impressed with these thoughts...."FEED MY SHEEP. Pull yourself away from all the distractions, and discipline yourself." WOW! We are so quick to disqualify God's plan for our lives as our own thoughts. It's so funny how the enemy tries to steal away our dreams which are God inspired. Well, beloved, don't believe those lies for one minute! Once we are saved, we have a brand new heart, and we can TRUST the promptings of our heart because God DWELLS IN US and He LEADS US FROM WITHIN! As a matter of fact, it is actually God Himself that put those desires and thoughts in our mind in the first place! Beloved, YOU ARE COMPETENT! Don't let the devil steal your dreams and disqualify you! 2 Cor. 3:6 He has made me competent as a minister of the new covenant—of the Spirit. The Spirit gives life. Lord, thank you that I AM COMPETENT because your spirit is within me.
