No More Toil-Rest In The Blessing by Ps Samuel Hari
Heb 4:1-11, 14-16
16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.(REST?)
There is a revolution/revelation of REST that is coming into the church. This not something new but was there all along and was lost to man at the garden of Eden.
In the beginning...
When God began time, He did His work in six days. Then God rested. Gen 2:2
Adam was made in the image of God. God called all creation out of the earth; but Adam was called out of Himself (His breath; in His image). God and Adam functioned as one (in Him) (1 Cor 6:17). God blessed Adam and blessed him in him in Gen 1:28
Adam was blessed, God's work was finished and He rested.
And then...
As Adam lived in the blessing, the garden was supposed spread and expand throughout the whole earth. All Adam was asked to do was to step out there and flourish in the blessing...rest.
God's blessing was powerful enough to do it. He already provided everything to make it happen. Adam was just to rest in the blessing.
Through God's union with Adam,
He had the energy (not tired) to live in the blessing.
He had all the supply of the needs and desires in his life.
But Adam let himself to be talked out of the blessing.
Adam and the generations that followed then chose his own way apart from God's plan and apart from the blessing of God. In Gen 1:37
The day is now here....
Ezek 36:33-36
I cleanse you from all your iniquities
We are in that day! The greatest day of His plan! By the blood of Jesus we are cleansed from our iniquities and He has delivered to the Body of Christ the blessing that Jesus has regained for us!
I will also enable you to dwell in the cities, and the ruins shall be rebuilt.
He will cause us to dwell in our cities (inheritance and build the wastelands (to fruitfulness) in them.
This land that was desolate has become like the garden of Eden; and the wasted, desolate, and ruined cities are now fortified and inhabited
Desolate lands and desolate people are being replanted and flourishing again as He intended in the garden of Eden though HIS REST....
Then the nations which are left all around you shall know that I, the Lord, have rebuilt the ruined places and planted what was desolate. I, the Lord, have spoken it, and I will do it."
The people around us who don't know Him will see clearly that He is the one doing it!
Is it just sitting around? No. We can and must labor but need not get weary or heavy laden!
Eph 2:10, Mat 11:28
God' WORK done God's WAY brings God's REST!. Luke 5:1-7, John 6:1-15
