1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,160 Speaker 1: And the angel said, unto her, fear not Mary, for 2 00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:08,760 Speaker 1: thou hast found favor with God. And behold, thou shalt 3 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:13,000 Speaker 1: conceive in thy womb and bring forth a son, and 4 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:20,280 Speaker 1: shalt call his name Jesus. Luke one thirty and thirty one. 5 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:23,319 Speaker 1: Heavenly Father, I am so grateful that you have a 6 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 1: plan and purpose for each one of us. You sent 7 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 1: an angel to confirm to Mary that she was favored 8 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 1: among women. You chose her to bring forth your son 9 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:39,559 Speaker 1: and told her to call him Jesus. She had no 10 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: idea what all that would entail, but she submitted to 11 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 1: your will and trusted that you would guide her through 12 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:51,239 Speaker 1: whatever it would take for that to happen. She was 13 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: just a teenage girl who was not married to Joseph, 14 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 1: her fiance, and yet she was to have a child 15 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 1: out of wedlock. How terrifying that must have been for 16 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 1: this young girl at this time. But she said, yes, 17 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 1: Lord Father, there are things you are calling me to 18 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 1: that I don't understand, that are often so contrary to 19 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 1: my natural senses. But yet I know it's your voice 20 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: directing me. It's scary when I step out in faith 21 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,639 Speaker 1: and follow your will for my life. But as I yield, 22 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 1: then say yes, Lord, I find purpose and meaning for 23 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 1: my life beyond what I could ever imagine. Mary never 24 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: imagined she would carry the savior of the world into 25 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 1: her womb, and I can't imagine all the glorious adventures 26 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 1: you have in store for me. Lord. I want to 27 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: be as yielded to you as Mary and say yes, Lord, 28 00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 1: not my will, but thy will be done in my 29 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: life in Jesus' name. Amen. Thank you for listening to 30 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 1: today's daily prayer.

Let's jump into 63 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 2: today's teaching. 64 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 3: I love what God says to us, or what Jesus 65 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 3: says to us. Come unto me, all you that are 66 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 3: weary and heavy laden, and I will give you what rest. 67 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:33,039 Speaker 3: Rest is very important to God, very important. When God 68 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 3: made the earth, created the earth, he actually did it 69 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 3: in five days because the sixth day he made man. 70 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 3: So man's first day on the earth was a day 71 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:51,479 Speaker 3: of rest because after God made everything, he rested. Everybody 72 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 3: say he rested. Now, did he rest because he was tired? No, 73 00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 3: he rested because it's finished. Everybody say finished. Now, think 74 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 3: about this man's first full day on the earth. What 75 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 3: did he do? Did he work? He rested, and he 76 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 3: rested in the presence of God. How wonderful that is. 77 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 3: And then you know he helped, He named the animals, 78 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 3: he did things. He took care of the garden of Eden. 79 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 3: But he rested first. Everybody say rest first. Then when 80 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:29,280 Speaker 3: Adam and Eve fell, they came under the curse. What 81 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 3: is involved in the curse? Sin? Everybody says sin? Sickness 82 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 3: is that right? What else? Poverty? Depression, despair? Stress? Everybody 83 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 3: say stress, and stress is a big big thing. The 84 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 3: doctors will tell you that stress causes most diseases, mental, emotional, spiritual, 85 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 3: and physical. It's behind all these things. Stress is a 86 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:07,919 Speaker 3: very ugly thing. And the devil brings stress because he 87 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 3: knows just being born on this planet, you're under the curse. 88 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 3: So when Jesus came, died on the cross, arose from 89 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 3: the dead, he broke the curse. And not just general 90 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 3: for you put your on your heart, say I won't forget. 91 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 3: Jesus broke the curse. Now why do you break the 92 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 3: curse of sin? Right, sickness, right, poverty, right, but also stress? Stress? 93 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 3: Because who brings stress? The devil? It works under the curse. 94 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 3: In Isaiah fifty three, it says, you know he took 95 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 3: our sins, our trespasses, our iniquities. But it also says 96 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 3: the chastisement of our peace was a on him. So 97 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 3: did he come to take your stress and give you 98 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 3: his peace? Did he? And what did Jesus say on 99 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 3: the cross? It is what finished. So is Jesus up 100 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 3: in heaven walking back and forth and saying, oh, dear 101 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 3: help the people of Denver, this is a horrible situation. 102 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 3: Oh what are we going to do about this boy 103 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 3: over here who's lost in getting into drugs and what 104 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 3: a mess. Oh, look at Joe's in bankruptcy. Oh God, 105 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 3: what are we going to do? Is that what God 106 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 3: Jesus is doing in heaven. You know what Jesus is 107 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 3: doing in heaven. He's seated. Everybody says, seated? Why? Because 108 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 3: it is what it is? Finished? It is finished people, 109 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 3: he's seated. How wonderful? He says, I've taken all of it. 110 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 3: And then the Bible tells us that we are to 111 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 3: be seated in heavenly places with Christ. So where are 112 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 3: we to sit today? I said, worried. I don't know 113 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,679 Speaker 3: what to do. I'm just stressed out of my brain. 114 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 3: I need to worry. Do you know when Jesus gave 115 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 3: the Sermon on the Mount six times? He said, don't worry? 116 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 3: Why because he knew what stress would do to you? 117 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 3: And he gives an example I think is so funny. 118 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 3: He said, what man among you if he is short, 119 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 3: if worry will make him get taller? Have you noticed 120 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 3: worrying doesn't produce good things? Now put your hair in 121 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 3: your heart so I won't forget. Worrying does not produce 122 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 3: good things. So it's very important that we see. Worry 123 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,559 Speaker 3: is not what he wants us to have. He said, 124 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:51,199 Speaker 3: come unto me. Where am I going to get it? 125 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 3: I'm going to get it from who who gave it? 126 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 3: Jesus who took the curse for your stress? Who Jesus, 127 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 3: Come onto me, all you that are weary and heavy laden? 128 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 3: I will give you what. And that's Matthew eleven twenty eight. 129 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 3: And so he gave us his rest. Everybody say his rest. 130 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 3: So he came to give us his rest to take 131 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:20,439 Speaker 3: away the curse of stress. And I love this in Isaiah, 132 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 3: and this is Isaiah eleven ten. It says his rest 133 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:29,439 Speaker 3: is glorious. Wow. When we get into his rest, Wow, 134 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 3: even though how bad the thing is falling apart, it's glorious. 135 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 3: We're resting in him. And that is so key. So 136 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 3: if we want to sit in heavenly places, what are 137 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 3: we going to do? Stress out? Everybody say rest? So 138 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 3: how do you enter that rest? And that is so 139 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 3: important to us? And that's what I want you to 140 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 3: see this morning, and that's what I want you to experience. 141 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 3: I have prayed that every person who comes to church 142 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,679 Speaker 3: here this morning has hearing ears and seeing eyes and 143 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,439 Speaker 3: experiences the presence of God in their stress and gets 144 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 3: his rest. So don't be surprised if you go home relaxed. Amen, 145 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 3: don't be surprised. And this is the key scripture for me. 146 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 3: So I'm going to give you some scriptures that I've 147 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 3: looked up, looked in the Greek had Greek scholars check 148 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 3: it out. And this is Galatians two twenty. And I've 149 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 3: been on this scripture for a long time. It says, 150 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:31,200 Speaker 3: I am crucified, yet I live, but the life I 151 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:35,559 Speaker 3: live in the flesh. I live by the faith of 152 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 3: not in the original is of everybody say of the 153 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 3: Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me? 154 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 3: What is this? You know sometimes we say, well, I 155 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 3: just don't have enough faith. I know that feeling, how is, 156 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 3: don't have enough faith? So what do I do? I 157 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 3: put faith in his faith. And he loves me and 158 00:10:58,679 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 3: he has perfect faith. 159 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 2: Hallelujah. 160 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 3: And so it's the faith of the Son of God. 161 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 3: So we can put our faith in his faith. And 162 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,199 Speaker 3: what kind of faith is he going to have for you? Well, 163 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:16,199 Speaker 3: he loves you. Right, when you love someone, you want 164 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 3: something ugly, No, you want something wonderful. So I put 165 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 3: faith in his perfect faith. Then I looked at some 166 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:30,200 Speaker 3: other scriptures, and this one is quite exciting. This is 167 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 3: in Mark nine twenty three, and it'd be good for 168 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 3: you to write these down. I'm moving along pretty quickly. 169 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 3: This is when Jesus comes down from the amount of 170 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 3: transfiguration and a multitude is waiting for him. And a 171 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 3: man comes running to him and says, I've had this 172 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 3: demon possessed boy. I brought him to your disciples. He 173 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 3: couldn't cast the demon out of him. Now watch what 174 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 3: Jesus says. It says it has off him, thrown him 175 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 3: both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. 176 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 3: But if you can do anything, take pity on us 177 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 3: and help us. And Jesus said to him, listen, listen, 178 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 3: this is very important. He said, if you can, If 179 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 3: you can, all things are possible to him who believes. 180 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 3: Who is the one who's believing. Who's the one who's believing. 181 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 3: He didn't tell the man, your faith is too little. 182 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 3: We can't do it. He said, I am the one 183 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,679 Speaker 3: who believes. And all things are possible to the one 184 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 3: who believes. And who's the one who believes? Who Jesus? 185 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 3: Everybody say Jesus. Did he cast the demon out? Because 186 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 3: what if he can? Of course I can. All things 187 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 3: are possible to who believes, and we put our faith 188 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,199 Speaker 3: in him. Did he cast the demon out of the boy? 189 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 3: Was a boy set free? Absolutely? And so we say sometimes, oh, 190 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 3: i's a horrible problems and family problems. Will put your 191 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 3: faith in his faith. All things are possible to him 192 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 3: because he believes. Everybody say he believes. He loves me 193 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:30,680 Speaker 3: and he believes for me. Amen. Amen, Then let me 194 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 3: give you just two more in whom we have boldness 195 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 3: and access with confidence through faith in him Ephesians three twelve. 196 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 3: How do you get boldness to stand up and do 197 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 3: these things? We put faith in him? How do I 198 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 3: get confidence? I don't have confidence. I have enough faith, 199 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,560 Speaker 3: but I can put my faith in his perfect faith. Amen. 200 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:58,079 Speaker 3: Will his faith work for you? That's the big question, 201 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 3: this one that has to be answered. Then you put 202 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 3: faith in his faith. Does he have perfect faith? Does 203 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 3: he love you? Absolutely? And then I got another one, 204 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 3: and this is Acts three sixteen, And this is where 205 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 3: the lame Man is healed. Oh, there's such a miracle. 206 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 3: Everybody knew him. He sat at the gate, beautiful and 207 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 3: Peter preaches, and I never saw this till the other day. 208 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 3: And it said, and his name, through faith, in his 209 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 3: name has made this man strong, whom you see and know, Yes, 210 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 3: the faith which comes through him has given him the 211 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 3: perfect soundness in the presence of you all. What how 212 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 3: did Peter and John heal the lame man? Did they think, oh, man, 213 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 3: I really got faith today? They had faith in Jesus' faith, 214 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 3: and the lame man was healed. Now what is the 215 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 3: devil's business? Do you know? The devil is restless. He's 216 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 3: so restless he walks to and fro seeking whom he 217 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 3: may devour. When the spirits are cast out of that man, 218 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 3: they come back, find the house clean, and then seven 219 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 3: times more come in. Is that true? Everybody? Say? The 220 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 3: devil is restless. He wants me to be restless. And 221 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 3: this is first Peter five seven and eight. It says, 222 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 3: casting all your care on the Lord, for he cares 223 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 3: for you. Now look at the next verse, for the 224 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 3: devil goes about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he 225 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 3: may devour. If you cast your care on him, the 226 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 3: devil can't get you, because what does he want to do? 227 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 3: Make you restless? Worried stress. But if you cast your 228 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 3: care on him, he doesn't have a chance. You're worried 229 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 3: about finances, You're worried about he, you're worried about children. 230 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 3: Who knows what you're worried about. You're worried about our city. 231 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 3: Could we cast our care on the Lord and take 232 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 3: his rest and stop the devil in your life in 233 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 3: stressing you out. You say it's too simple, Honey, is Bible. 234 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 3: So put up both your hands. I know you have 235 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 3: a lot of cares. Put up both your hands, say Father, 236 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 3: I'm casting all these cares that are stressing me on you, 237 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 3: and you are setting me free so the devil can't 238 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 3: put stress on me. Now take your hands, say bye 239 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 3: bye stress. I'm at rest. I have Jesus faith. Amen. Amen, 240 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 3: it's a big key to this. 241 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 2: Keep this in mind, friends, Jesus did not ask us 242 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 2: to carry our stress alone. He said, come unto me. 243 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 2: Rest begins when we bring our burdens to him. It 244 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:12,400 Speaker 2: can often feel like stress is overwhelming because it's unspoken. 245 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,440 Speaker 2: But prayer is one way that you can release what 246 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 2: you've been carrying. I want to encourage you if you 247 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,719 Speaker 2: need to release the stress that you've been carrying. Please 248 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,920 Speaker 2: call us, We want to pray with you eight eight 249 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 2: eight four zero zero zero four. 250 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 3: Nine to nine. 251 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:28,680 Speaker 2: We want to pray with you that you would be 252 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 2: able to release any stress and trust it into the 253 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 2: Father's hands. One Peter five seven tells us casting all 254 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:42,439 Speaker 2: you care upon him, For he cares for you. Jesus 255 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,679 Speaker 2: cares for you. You can trust him with whatever is 256 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,919 Speaker 2: burdening your heart. When we choose rest instead of worry. 257 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 2: When we choose to cast our cares on him and 258 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,440 Speaker 2: receive the rest that he gives, we close the door 259 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 2: to the enemy's influence and we open our hearts to 260 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:01,360 Speaker 2: God's peace. Right now, I want you to call us. 261 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,119 Speaker 2: We want to pray with you that you would surrender 262 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 2: whatever you have on your heart and receive God's peace. 263 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 2: That number is eight eight eight for zero zero zero 264 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,160 Speaker 2: four nine nine call us, and we want to pray 265 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,919 Speaker 2: with you that you would receive God's peace. 266 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 3: I thought of something else. You have to fight to rest, 267 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 3: he said. Therefore Hebrews four nine and ten, there remains 268 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 3: a rest for the people of God. For he has 269 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:38,160 Speaker 3: entered his rest, has himself also ceased from his works, 270 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 3: as God did from his You say well, are we 271 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:44,159 Speaker 3: not to do anything? Am I just to sit and 272 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 3: do nothing? Oh? No, not at all. We are when 273 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:55,639 Speaker 3: we work to rest in our work. Can you do that? Yes, 274 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,160 Speaker 3: he didn't tell you not to do anything. He told 275 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 3: you to rest in your work. So I have a 276 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 3: great problem with being driven and achieving and accomplishing. And 277 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 3: let me tell you, I've had this all my life. 278 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:12,880 Speaker 3: My mother used to say to me, you're so driven. 279 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,679 Speaker 3: You need to be directed by the Holy Spirit. So 280 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 3: if this sermon is for anybody, it's for me. And 281 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:24,919 Speaker 3: he says to us labor to enter into his rest. 282 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,920 Speaker 3: So I put out something. You know, I believe you 283 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 3: can make a habit in twenty one days or break 284 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,439 Speaker 3: a habit in twenty one days. So I did this 285 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,639 Speaker 3: with chocolate. You know, I love chocolate. I eat chocolate 286 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 3: almost every day, and I knew it wasn't good for me. 287 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,399 Speaker 3: So I said, for twenty one days, I'm not going 288 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,400 Speaker 3: to eat chocolate. So I marched the calendar Day one, 289 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 3: no chocolate, two, three, four, And when I got to 290 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 3: the end of the twenty first day, the twenty second day, 291 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:59,120 Speaker 3: I didn't want chocolate. And to this day I like chocolate, 292 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 3: but it's no driving force in my life. So I said, 293 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,960 Speaker 3: I'm going to try this with rest. I'm going to 294 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:11,640 Speaker 3: start every day with resting in you. You see how 295 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,120 Speaker 3: many days have you been doing it? This is the fifth. 296 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 3: So I got up Wednesday and I said, Lord Jesus, 297 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 3: I'm coming to you, and I'm resting in you. You said, 298 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,920 Speaker 3: coming to me, all you that are weary, heving, I 299 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,359 Speaker 3: will give you rest. I take you rest. I take 300 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 3: your rest for me today. I'm just going to sit 301 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 3: down with you, and you're going to direct me in 302 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 3: my work. So that day I had a breakfast appointment 303 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 3: and it was good, no problem, and then I was 304 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 3: to have a luncheon at twelve thirty. So I thought, ah, 305 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 3: you know, I have time to run over and see Wally. 306 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,119 Speaker 3: You know, because I have this space of time, I 307 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 3: have about an hour and a half here and I 308 00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:00,080 Speaker 3: can go see him. And the Lord said to me, 309 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 3: could you just sit here and rest? Couldn't you see 310 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:10,679 Speaker 3: Wally tomorrow? He said, why don't you just rest? So 311 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,359 Speaker 3: I sat there, I don't know, not quite an hour 312 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:20,440 Speaker 3: and I just rested, and he talked to me so sweetly. 313 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 3: It was so encouraging. So Thursday I got up, I said, Jesus, 314 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 3: I take your rest for this day. And sometimes I 315 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 3: backslide a little bit, I get back to it and 316 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,919 Speaker 3: I say, okay, Jesus, I have faith in your faith, 317 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 3: and I believe you're working for good in this and 318 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:47,679 Speaker 3: so I practice it. Everybody say practicing it? Now. I 319 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:49,679 Speaker 3: know what you're thinking. Do you think at the end 320 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 3: of twenty one days it will come spontaneously? Yes, I 321 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,679 Speaker 3: think I will do better to be directed by the 322 00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 3: Holy Spirit than I have ever been. Rest come unto me. 323 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 3: All you that we'y in are heavy laden, and I 324 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:12,200 Speaker 3: will give you what rest. But then he tells us 325 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:16,880 Speaker 3: you have to labor to get into it, and it 326 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 3: is it's a struggle for me, and that is Hebrews 327 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 3: for eleven. Let us therefore labor to enter that rest 328 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:29,359 Speaker 3: lest anyone fall. According to the same example of disobedience, 329 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:35,720 Speaker 3: to not enter into his rest is to disobey. And 330 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 3: so what do I do? I struggle, struggle. I took 331 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,680 Speaker 3: some people out to dinner the other night, had kind 332 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,680 Speaker 3: of a counseling session on Thursday or no, I guess 333 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:49,639 Speaker 3: it was which night, Saturday night, and I thought, I 334 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,639 Speaker 3: don't know what to say to these people. You know, 335 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,199 Speaker 3: oh I do, I'll probably say the wrong things. And 336 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,920 Speaker 3: I thought, no, you're saying with Jesus in heavenly place, 337 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 3: he will give you the words. And I rested in 338 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 3: his rest and was marvelous. I didn't come home nervous. 339 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 3: Well did I do it right? I did it right. 340 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:16,160 Speaker 3: I sat in heavenly places with him. Rest brings revelation. 341 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,399 Speaker 3: Now we all love the scripture where it says I 342 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,880 Speaker 3: am the Lord that heals you in Exodus fifteen, Jehovah 343 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:28,360 Speaker 3: Rofeika or rope is the Lord who heals you, right, 344 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 3: one of the names of God. But I looked at Rophae, 345 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:37,160 Speaker 3: and the base word of that in the Hebrew is rafa, 346 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 3: And one of the meanings of rafa is to heal 347 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:47,479 Speaker 3: you of stress. Hallelujah, I am the Lord that heals 348 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:52,640 Speaker 3: you of What stress? That is so key for us? 349 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 3: You say, well, I just can't get out of it. 350 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,919 Speaker 3: We'll go to him and get his And if you 351 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,399 Speaker 3: have to ask for it times a day, asked for it. 352 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 3: If you ask for it thirty times a day, ask 353 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,120 Speaker 3: for it. But I believe you're setting up a pattern 354 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 3: where you can live in great victory and not have 355 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:16,680 Speaker 3: stress make you sick. Amen, because Jesus took the testisement 356 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 3: of our peace upon him. This is very, very key 357 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 3: for us. Now labor, that's the only time the word 358 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:31,159 Speaker 3: labor is used in that Greek meaning. Because it is 359 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,640 Speaker 3: so key for us. We struggle to do it. But 360 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 3: the more we do it, Wow, the easier it comes. 361 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 3: So patri Ana in her heart say, the more I 362 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:49,920 Speaker 3: take his rest, the easier it becomes. Now I want 363 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 3: you to think about Moses. Remember when Moses was struggling 364 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:58,120 Speaker 3: because the Amalekis were attacking the Israelites. They just come 365 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,879 Speaker 3: out of Egypt. They don't have us strong army. The 366 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:05,199 Speaker 3: Amalekites were really killing them. And Moses went up on 367 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 3: a hill and prayed, and Aaron and her went with him. 368 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,400 Speaker 3: And it said, as long as Moses' hands were up, 369 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:17,400 Speaker 3: they won the battle. But Moses got tired. Is that right? 370 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 3: Do you ever just get tired of all the problems? Well? 371 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:25,120 Speaker 3: Where is God? But what they did with Moses, they 372 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,920 Speaker 3: sat him down, is that right? And he sat down 373 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 3: and they held up his hands and they beat the 374 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:38,359 Speaker 3: Amalekites while Moses was resting in the Lord. Everybody say, 375 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:43,400 Speaker 3: resting in the Lord. See, you're really serious right now, 376 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 3: because it's hits everybody. You said, which so and so 377 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 3: is here? You're here, and you're getting it right. Everybody 378 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 3: say his rest is glorious. Now when you do Pm 379 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 3: twenty three and he doesn't like Psalm twenty three, it says, 380 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:05,160 Speaker 3: he prepares a table before me in the presence of 381 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:09,119 Speaker 3: my enemies. He anoints my head with oil, and my 382 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 3: cup overflows. Now who prepares the table? Who prepares the table? 383 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 3: He prepares the table? What does he do with you? 384 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 3: Sit down, I'm going to annoint you and feed you, 385 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 3: and I'm going to do it right in front of 386 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 3: the devil. You're not going to stress out because you 387 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:30,160 Speaker 3: have faith in my faith. Amen. Everybody says, sit down, 388 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:38,640 Speaker 3: quit worrying, And several times Psalms one ten, and it's 389 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 3: mentioned in Matthew twenty two talks about God saying to Jesus, 390 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 3: sit down, and I will put your enemies under your feet. 391 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:57,640 Speaker 3: So when Jesus sat down, he sat down. This is finished. 392 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 3: Why God say I'll put your enemies under your feet. 393 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:07,680 Speaker 3: He sat down, and God put his enemies under his feet. 394 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 3: So when we sit down with Christ in heavenly places 395 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 3: rest in him. We come weary, heavy laden, but we 396 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 3: take his rest. What does God do with our enemies? 397 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,399 Speaker 3: What does God do? We're in Christ? Everybody say in Christ? 398 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 3: Is that true? You're in Christ? You're a Christian? In Christ, 399 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:40,360 Speaker 3: God says he puts your enemies under your feet while 400 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 3: you're sitting down. Amen. And I like this because Luke 401 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:52,679 Speaker 3: ten nineteen says, behold, I given to you power to 402 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 3: tread on serpents and scorpions and all the power of 403 00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 3: the enemy, and nothing shall buy in means harm. You 404 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 3: look at your feet, That's where the devil belongs, under 405 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 3: your feet. But it's God who puts him under there 406 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:19,920 Speaker 3: while you're sitting in Christ, seated in heavenly places with Christ, Jesus. 407 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:24,360 Speaker 3: And I have found, even in the worst crisis, if 408 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:30,200 Speaker 3: I can stop and listen, things begin to change because 409 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 3: I get a revelation. It is key for me. I 410 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,440 Speaker 3: remember one time I was in Kenya and the woman 411 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 3: who is picking me up and carrying me back and 412 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,760 Speaker 3: forth to the conference big church, and she said to me, 413 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 3: I am from Rwanda. And she said, when the genocide 414 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 3: was coming there and they were killing all those people 415 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 3: in this one city, she said that's my city. My 416 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 3: mother's there. All these people are there. And I don't 417 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 3: know how big the city was. It must have not 418 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 3: been that big. But she said I had a telephone directory, 419 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 3: and I said, oh god, you know, my mother's going 420 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 3: to get killed. These people are going to get killed. 421 00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 3: What shall I do. I'm going to rest in you 422 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 3: and listen to you. And she said, he said to me, 423 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 3: take the telephone directory and they're not there yet. Call 424 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 3: everyone in the directory and tell them to receive Jesus. 425 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 3: They're going to die a little bit and they need 426 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 3: to go to heaven. She called everyone in that directory. 427 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 3: They came into that town and killed everyone. But I'll 428 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 3: tell you she'll see them in heaven. Why because she 429 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 3: got a revelation in a horrible time. But folks, do 430 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 3: we want eternal life or do we just have Jesus 431 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 3: for this life? That is so key for us? So today, 432 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:50,280 Speaker 3: how do I apply this? How can I apply this 433 00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 3: to my life? First of all, come to Jesus, because 434 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 3: the one who gives rest is not just turning on 435 00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 3: a television program, going to a movie, you know, sitting 436 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 3: in the hot tub. I mean, I'm for these things, 437 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:08,120 Speaker 3: but I'm just saying, the one who gives you your 438 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 3: soul rest is Jesus. Our wake up call is come 439 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 3: to Jesus. Everybody say, come to Jesus, and what will 440 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:20,960 Speaker 3: he give you? What will he give you? Will he 441 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:27,720 Speaker 3: take your stress? Is your stress from Jesus? No, who's 442 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:32,760 Speaker 3: your stress from the devil? Everybody say the devil. I 443 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:37,520 Speaker 3: know him. He's dirty and he's to be under my 444 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:44,640 Speaker 3: feet now, walking on my head. Amen, application come to Jesus. 445 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 3: The second thing, and it's in Isaiah twenty eight, eleven 446 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:55,480 Speaker 3: and twelve. I love this, he said. He talks about 447 00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 3: speaking in tongues and other languages, and he said this, 448 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 3: he says, the rest, and this is the refreshing folks. 449 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 3: There are times I get calls, you know, letters, all 450 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 3: kinds of stuff, horrible problems. I think, Oh God, I 451 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 3: don't even know how to pray for this. It's such 452 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,040 Speaker 3: a scrambled egg. It's such a mess. I don't know 453 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:19,400 Speaker 3: what to do. So I'll just pray in the spirit. 454 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 3: I'll pray in tongues. Praying in tongues is a rest. 455 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,959 Speaker 3: If your spirit feel, take advantage of your rest. Because 456 00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,640 Speaker 3: he says he searches the heart, he knows the mind 457 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 3: of God. He makes intercession according to his will, and 458 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:37,760 Speaker 3: he makes all things work together for good to them 459 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,160 Speaker 3: that love God or the called according to his purpose. 460 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 3: So how do I apply this? Come to Jesus. Everybody say, 461 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:50,280 Speaker 3: come to Jesus. And what's the second thing? What is it? 462 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:54,640 Speaker 3: Are you kind of shy today? Pray in tongues. Everybody say, 463 00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,680 Speaker 3: pray in tongues. And here comes the third one? And 464 00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:08,120 Speaker 3: is the best one? Go to church. Sunday is considered 465 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 3: the sabbath. Go to church. Did you know when you 466 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 3: read the gospels, Jesus did more miracles on the Sabbath 467 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 3: than any day. That's right. The Sabbath is key because 468 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 3: we come, we don't work, We just rest in Jesus. 469 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:30,400 Speaker 3: We get revelation and then the next six days can 470 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:37,360 Speaker 3: go better. Amen. So it's important. People treat church pretty lightly. 471 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 3: In Denver, eighty percent don't even go, and a lot 472 00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 3: of Christians, you know, if it's convenient, I go. Folks, 473 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:49,800 Speaker 3: it's more than convenient. It's your rest and it was 474 00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:55,000 Speaker 3: appointed to you. Don't miss it. Amen. Now is this 475 00:32:55,080 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 3: good for you? I think it applies to all of us. 476 00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:03,680 Speaker 3: And I encourage you when you get up in the morning. 477 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,640 Speaker 3: Say to the Lord, Oh, this is a day of rest. 478 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:09,960 Speaker 3: You say, MARYL do you know all the confusion in 479 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:12,280 Speaker 3: my life? Yes? Probably I know a lot of it. 480 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,959 Speaker 3: But can I rest in Jesus? Can I rest in 481 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:20,080 Speaker 3: his faith? Can I put the devil under my feet 482 00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:24,640 Speaker 3: who's trying to make me restless? Can I? Yes? I can? 483 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:31,560 Speaker 3: And that's where he wants us today, seated in heavenly places. 484 00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:38,320 Speaker 2: Scripture tells us that rest is something that we choose intentionally. 485 00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:42,480 Speaker 2: Keebrews four nine says, there remains, therefore a rest for 486 00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 2: the people of God. When we settle into rest, then 487 00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:51,520 Speaker 2: we truly walk in supernatural trust. And sometimes I get 488 00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:53,760 Speaker 2: people who I talk to and they won't rest because 489 00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:55,960 Speaker 2: they feel like they have to do one hundred things 490 00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,560 Speaker 2: at once. Well, I've got some news for you. God 491 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,440 Speaker 2: created you to work. True in the garden of Eden, 492 00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:03,360 Speaker 2: he said Adam and Eve to work, But he also 493 00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:06,120 Speaker 2: created you to rest. In fact, rest is one of 494 00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:11,640 Speaker 2: the most disobeyed commandments in the Bible. God commands us 495 00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:14,320 Speaker 2: to rest, and when we rest, we're taking our hands 496 00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,720 Speaker 2: off of whatever we're working at, and we're saying, God, 497 00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,880 Speaker 2: I trust that you are able to do more work 498 00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,239 Speaker 2: in my rest than I am able to do in 499 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:26,000 Speaker 2: my own volition. If that's something that you want to 500 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:29,080 Speaker 2: walk in.
