Just wanted to share this wonderful nugget of truth the Holy Spirit revealed to me...
When we place our FAITH in the FINISHED WORK of God, we can then enter into HIS REST
When we enter into HIS REST He then gives us HIS PEACE.
Hebrews 3: 9-11
"When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works for forty years.
Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do always err in their heart,
and they have not known my ways. So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest"
This generation was not allowed to enter into God's REST because of their unbelief
Hebrews 3:19 - "So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief"
Beloved, we were created to believe in the finished work of God, enter into HIS REST
and receive HIS PEACE that surpasses all understanding.
Let me explain...
When God breathed the breath of life into Adam HE did it on the Seventh Day! (Gen 2:7)
Adam came alive on the very day that God was RESTING from HIS WORKS! (Gen 2:2)
Adam literally entered into God's REST the same day he came alive!
No wonder Adam could walk in and be at PEACE with God.
God was resting from the WORK HE FINISHED, Adam comes along and enters into that same REST...
And when you enter into the REST of God...You can't help but be at PEACE!!! Hallelujah!
Here's another example...
Remember when Jesus was sleeping (resting) in the boat with the Disciples during the storm? (Mark 4: 35-41)
They were frightened and they woke HIM up saying, "Lord don't you even care if we perish?"
Then Jesus did something amazing, HE spoke to the storm and said (watch this) "PEACE, BE STILL"
Then HE asked them "Why are you afraid? Where is your faith?"
The point Jesus was trying to make to the Disciples was this...
If God is RESTING in the middle of your storm, You can REST TOO and be at PEACE!!! Hallelujah!
Beloved, no matter what you're going through right now, remember this...
Jesus is RESTING from the FINISHED WORK of the Cross!
And if the MASTER is RESTING from HIS WORK...
You just need to place your FAITH in the WORK He's already done, enter into HIS REST
and receive the PEACE that only the SAVIOR can give!
Have Faith, enter into HIS Rest and be at Peace! Have a blessed day!
"Come unto me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you REST!" (Matthew 11:28)
When we place our FAITH in the FINISHED WORK of God, we can then enter into HIS REST
When we enter into HIS REST He then gives us HIS PEACE.
