Rest In His REST 2

Hi everyone,

Last time, in my first write-up on Rest in His REST, where I wrote on how through Jesus, being our new life, our new Adam, we receive a brand new Spirit, who is the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the One who knows all things, and He lives in everyone who is born of God, and having Jesus as their new life, then the Holy Spirit directs our lives according to the way God our Father ordained us to live as we yield to Him. And in doing so, we allow rest in His REST! But as I said last time, that’s not the full expression of what the rest is all about, which is why today I’ll go further in part two of Rest in His REST.

In entering into the true rest, receiving Jesus is actually the major thing. But do you understand what receiving Jesus as your life really mean? Understanding this would allow you to receive the deal of a lifetime you signed up for. Man in trying to get back to God went through moral training, followed laws, but that didn’t change their spirit, so they became a new Spirit in Christ Jesus right? Right. So, now that Man has a new Spirit, they started working hard to please God, as some would come early to church, clean the seats, greet the brethren, visit people, keep the laws, be good a man or woman in everything they did, but with all these that they did, they still had diseases, attacking them, they were still hit negatively financially, they had addictions, in short, they still had several things they were battling with, but they had given their lives to Jesus and received the Holy Spirit, so what was wrong?

The number one mistake some Sons and Daughters of God make is that they feel God uses our self-effort in order for us to receive His blessings or to receive healings, and many other benefits, this is the mistake. One thing we need to and must understand is that it is not by our self-effort that we are qualified, rather it is by His [Jesus] effort and what He did that we are now and will always be qualified. Just as through the first Adam everyone born under him were cursed with the spirit of sin, which wasn’t through what we did, but what Adam did, likewise, because Jesus, being the last Adam was accepted as the only Man perfect before God’s sight, therefore, all those who are born of Him are justified before God as righteous, not because of what we did, but what He did, this is the true Grace and the true rest, (ref. 2 Corinthians 5:21).

Furthermore, every form of diseases, poverty, depression, and every form of the unfortunate thing that came from the first Adam has been wiped out from you. Your Spirit, being the exact Spirit with Jesus is perfect, your soul which consist of your mind, will, and emotions, needs to know who Jesus really is, in other words, your soul needs to know who your new Spirit is, which has to do with the finished works of Jesus on the cross, and the grace you have received, which when understood allows you to receive the grace through faith and then you start to see it function in your going out and in your coming in.

In the last two paragraph, you’ll see where I underlined the word “our” in the first line. The mistake as I said Sons and Daughters of God make is to feel, God uses our self-effort in order for us to receive His blessings, which I said is wrong because it is through Jesus that we receive His blessings. The truth is that in every sense of our true way of life as Sons of God, receiving the grace of God, thus entering that rest is not by our self-effort at all, which is the use of our carnal mind, but with the use of Holy Spirit, thus resting on Jesus. The Bible says in Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” God alone has a perfect plan for everyone here on earth, thus, a purpose to fulfill here on earth. But Man has tried to achieve his purpose [which he very well didn’t know, but thought he did] here earth but failed and has caused a lot of chaos. It is only the Holy Spirit that can tell us and teach us how to live.

Now, Jesus is the only Man who fulfilled everything God wanted from Man, that which no other Man can achieve on their own unless they are under Jesus, and He is the new and last Adam. Now, while under Jesus what are we to do? Live Jesus!

...to be continued.

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.

                    

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
