Entering His Rest

Entering His Rest

Father, I labor to enter into the rest of Jesus. I check myself to be sure I am operating in the faith. It is not by my laboring to do well that I find eternal rest but by hearing the Word that was made flesh. It is not about what I can do for You that brings rest but what You finished for me at the cross. I was crucified with Jesus at the cross, dead to sin and raised with Jesus to eternal life made to be the righteousness of God. So I quiet my soul of all the talk between my emotions, thoughts and will so that I may hear Your voice and follow You to green pastures and still waters. Let Your will be done. Let Your ways become my ways so that I may stay in rest. How You deliver me is too wonderful for me to know so I humble myself by leaving all anxiety and concerns by praying the truth of your Word by faith and not by sight. I enter the Lord of the Sabbath by not laboring to meet my needs but by knowing all my need is met in Christ Jesus. Amen

Scripture

but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence; - 1 Peter 3:15 KJV

What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim upon the housetops. - Matthew 10:26-28 KJV

Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. - Hebrews 10:22-25 KJV

How do I get saved?

Jesus said if you want to follow me, you must lose your life. A higher standard than the typical ask Jesus into your heart confession. You have to start somewhere, so make the confession, but then do what Jesus said daily if you really believe in him. Jesus continued telling those who want to follow him that they must also take up their cross. Which means following Jesus will put you under the microscope of today's society. But that is part of the plan of losing your life so that you may live for him eternally. And why would you want to follow Jesus with all the trouble that goes with being his disciple? Because he is the only way through death to eternal life. He is not showing us the way. He is the way!

What is 'Walk with me'?

We are living in the Enoch generation. Enoch walked with God and was found no more because God took him. To walk with God means to hear, to reflect, and then to go out into all the world proclaiming Christ crucified. As a Bible teacher, I have several websites that help people walk with God. If you don't have a church home, walk with me until you do. Walk with me is my version of onboarding people into the Kingdom of God. Subscribe to the Walk with me Newsletter to begin.
