Entering into His rest and falling out of that rest has no bearing on our salvation. Once we are saved, we are always saved, but we can choose to live each day in a state of Resting In Him and His precious promises (which are steadfast and sure, unchanging and true), or we can choose to live in a state of restlessness, agitation, and exertion, by trying to do things by our own strength in our own way. Let's come boldly to the throne of grace and lay down anything that hinders us from entering His Sabbath-rest. The rest we can only find in Jesus, as we trust Him to keep us in perfect peace. While we are still living in this world in our bodies, our rest is in Him – we rest in His Word and we rest in His promises. for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his. Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank you that Christ Jesus is our rest. Sometimes we forget that resting in Him is simply appropriating Your Word and accepting your precious promises, by faith. We pray that, day by day, we rest in Jesus by trusting our lives into His hands and trusting the Word of truth in our lives. In Jesus' name we pray, AMEN. What a blessed comfort this verse has been to multitudes of believers in Christ, down through the ages, who have rested on these words and had their hearts stilled in the presence of the Lord. He is our God Who satisfies our years with good things, and renews our youth like the eagle. He performs righteous deeds and judgments for all who are oppressed. The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness. He Is Our Savior And Friend. He is our hope and strength and He will be exalted, for it is He who has made us, and not we ourselves, we are His people and the sheep of His pasture. Although the nations rage like the billows of the sea and the people imagine a vain thing against the Lord God Almighty, we are called to be still in the presence of the Lord and to know Him in our heart by faith, with thanksgiving. May we be still in His presence, cease from all our strivings, and be at peace in His company Whom to know is life eternal. He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” Our United Prayer:
Dear Lord, we praise You that Your Word stands fast forever and ever and that Your precious promises encourage us to rest in Your love and drink deeply from the Rock of our salvation. Draw near to every member of Christ’s Body, and protect Your people against the increasing roar of the nations. We pray for Your return, when Your name will be exalted throughout all the earth. Then all the nations will know that You are God. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN. It Is God Alone Who Knows The Heart. It is He alone Who knows when a man or woman believes in their heart that Christ died for their sins and rose again. Once that hidden heart decision to trust in Christ for salvation is met, the man or woman is immediately born from above by the power of the Holy Spirit and is freely able to confess with their mouth that Jesus is Lord. "Every spirit who confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and the Spirit of God abides in him." If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You that Your only begotten Son came to earth to die on the Cross and to rise again so that all who believe in Him, would not perish but have everlasting life. Thank You that You have not forgotten Your children, and thank You that all who confess that Jesus is Lord, the eternal God and believe in their heart that He rose from the dead will not perish but have everlasting life. In Jesus' name we pray, AMEN. The moment that we are saved by grace through faith, we have an assurance that we are part of the group that are blessed by God and will indeed see Him. Not because of what we have done to make our hearts pure; but because of what Christ has done for us so that by faith in His sacrificial death and Resurrection, we are given a pure and holy heart which will see God. Purity Of Heart, together with meekness of soul and poverty of spirit, is not something that can be attained by self-effort or hypocritical works. A heart is purified by the inner work of the Holy Spirit in the man or women who is rightly related to God, through faith in Christ. How blessed are we, who are inwardly cleansed of sin by the Spirit of God. Through faith in Christ Jesus, our Lord? Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You that our hearts have been cleansed of sin, through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, our God and Savior. Thank You that He is the image of the invisible God, Who has been revealed to us, by faith. Keep us low at the Cross and broken before You, and open our eyes to see more and more of His beauty and grace, and we pray that may we live to His praise and glory. This we ask in Jesus' name, AMEN. Our life is to be the same in public as it is in private. We should not lower the standards that He expects from His children when we are in the company of those that do not believe. Although we are in the world, we are not part of the world , we are bought with a price, the precious blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, and have been made ministers of His word.. Our desires should be to share the good news of the gospel of grace, with all who cross our path. It should be done with clarity and simplicity. Let us remember that Today Is The Day Of Salvation For Many and that we need to conduct ourselves in a godly manner with all wisdom. Make the most of every opportunity we have to share the good news of the gospel of Christ as we seek to walk in wisdom and truth so that we may practice living prudently in all our relationships with others. Let us redeem the time and make the most of our opportunities to share the good news of the gospel of Christ; Who died for our sins and rose again to give us His life so that we become children of God. Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, help us we pray, to conduct ourselves that is pleasing to you, with wisdom and grace in our everyday lives. Help us to make the most of our opportunities to share Jesus to those who have not yet heard of His gracious salvation. This we ask in Jesus name, AMEN. |
