Finding Rest in Him

A Daily Portion



I felt led today to share some Scriptures that talk about His Rest. No matter what may be going on around us, we need to let our spirits rest in Him, the One who has it all under control. Speak to whatever is troubling you today; tell it to leave, tell it to go, because He is your Rock, your Shelter and your Peace! I declare peace over your heart, soul, mind and spirit and may your home be filled with His Presence and may you find rest in Him!

Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. [I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls.] Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am gentle (meek) and humble (lowly) in heart, and you will find rest (relief and ease and refreshment and recreation and blessed quiet) for your souls. For My yoke is wholesome (useful, good—not harsh, hard, sharp, or pressing, but comfortable, gracious, and pleasant), and My burden is light and easy to be borne. - Matthew 11:28-30

For I will [fully] satisfy the weary soul, and I will replenish every languishing and sorrowful person. 

-Jeremiah 31:25

For God alone my soul waits in silence; from Him comes my salvation.  He only is my Rock and my Salvation, my Defense and my Fortress, I shall not be greatly moved.  -Psalm 62:1-2

Return to your rest, O my soul, for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.  -Psalm 116:7

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty [Whose power no foe can withstand].  -Psalm 91:1

My people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, in safe dwellings, and in quiet resting-places.  -Isaiah 32:18

The Lord is my Shepherd [to feed, guide, and shield me], I shall not lack. He makes me lie down in [fresh, tender] green pastures; He leads me beside the still and restful waters. He refreshes and restores my life (my self); He leads me in the paths of righteousness [uprightness and right standing with Him—not for my earning it, but] for His name’s sake.  -Psalm 23:1-3

The Third "Daily Portion"

A Daily Portion


Originally written on the 13th of September, 2008, titled "The Third Daily Portion".


If we can fully understand that our calling as sons and daughters of God is to go and preach the gospel, the good news, the year of our Lord, go heal the sick, free those in bondage, restore the afflicted, then we can surely understand that, while doing this, we are declaring God's Kingdom in our midst; we are establishing it and we are building it as a Righteous, True and Absolute Government. If we can fully come to a complete understanding of this, we must also understand that we, as women, have a great call within this establishment and fulfilling of His Kingdom and His call for our lives and ministries.


The Lord tells us in His Word, in Matthew 9:38  "Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” As we understand our call to ministry and as we begin to feel God's desire that His fields be tended to by workers, we, as women should rise up to that call and answer: HERE I AM!  As I read and reflected over another preaching by  Maria Woodworth Etter, it became very obvious to me that the woman has been called to a Service within God's Kingdom throughout all of history and it's time that we rise up and let our light shine in the midst of the darkness and that we allow our gifts and talents that were given to us since our creation to be brought out, activated and put forth to His use for His glory! 


Women, we need to wake up and grab hold of the Kingdom, and establish it because there are so many who are dying, who are blinded, bound, deceived, shackled; meanwhile, the solution to all of this is found in an absolute truth: Abundant Life in Christ, His Redemption and Salvation!  He is so good! Women, the multitudes await us; they await for us to arrive and shed Light, Hope, Peace and Faith... We need to open our eyes and realize that the enemy is always trying to distract us, get us out of focus with obstacles, so that we are not effective in the Kingdom, but our response to this must be the same as Nehemiah's response: “I am carrying on a great project and cannot go down. Why should the work stop while I leave it and go down to you?”(6:3) We are commissioned by the King of Kings and Governor of the Kingdom to finish a big and arduous labor, which requires us to be willing, able and alert and occupied at all times! May we be inspired Divinely by His Spirit to Serve Him at all times and establish His Kingdom here among us!

Blessings!!

The second "Daily Portion"

A Daily Portion

Originally published on September 12, 2008, titled "Daily Portion #2"

“The apostles performed many signs and wonders among the people..."  Acts 5:12 [NIV]

When we are confronted with Jesus Christ's Truth under the Kingdom, and His Righteousness, it is necessary to understand that we will suffer persecution if we are to believe, practice and follow this Truth just as Christ desires us to do so.

Meditating on the words of one of Maria Woodworth Etter's preaching, it is quite interesting to see the decision that the apostles made when presented a call to live a life either under religion of under the Kingdom. The apostles were thrown in jail as a result of the reaction to the Authority and Power manifested in the miracles and wonders they did among the people. They had to choose between religion or Kingdom. They knew if they chose religion, and denied the Authority and Power, they would have no problem and the persecution would end.  But they chose the Kingdom and His Righteousness and they decided to preach the Word even if the end result was death. They asked the Lord:   "Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness. Stretch out your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus.”  (Acts 4:29-30)

When the apostles decided to bring the Kingdom to Earth, they knew that each preaching would have to be accompanied with signs and wonders, God's very presence there with them, confirming their message. Multitudes began to run to where they were, seeking His Presence and promise of freedom, healing and restoration. And the signs, miracles and wonders continued and followed them because they had established God's Kingdom in the midst of a dry and needy place. May we also ask for Your signs, wonders and miracles, Oh Lord, the Power of Your Spirit confirming Your Word of Redemption and Love.

Blessings!!
