The other day, I just felt like saying, “it’s enough“. I am tired of all the war, joblessness and affliction. It’s time to be done.
It’s time to rest.
Well, I have since been hearing or seeing that quite a bit the last couple of days. Check it out:
I got this today reading:
2 Samuel 24:16
“It is enough.”
16 When the angel stretched out his hand toward Jerusalem to destroy it, the Lord relented from the calamity and said to the angel who destroyed the people, “It is enough! Now relax your hand!” And the angel of theLord was by the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
Email from Jim Balew with today’s word from Russ Walden:
The Father says today I am doing a finishing work in your life. It is not your fate to live your whole life in a continual, arduous process without ever coming to breakthrough or outcome. I am a God not only of the process but also of the outcome. I am bringing you to an expected end. I have no desire to harness you to an inexorable, unending spectacle of grueling labors and tasks. When I created the earth in 6 days I rested. I established the entire understanding of the 7th day so that you would know that My purpose is to bring you to rest. This is your 7th day. Your 7th day approaches. The finishing anointing is upon you. The enemy has been served notice that “that will be enough of THAT”!
Are you ready to enter into rest, beloved? Are you prepared to “BE” and know what it is to “BE” and not just forever and endlessly “doing”? I am not a God of unending striving. I am a God of REST. I am more interested in WHO YOU ARE than in WHAT YOU DO! This is why I took the OLD COVENANT of LAW and established the NEW COVENANT of GRACE. You have better promises than those who only knew servitude and the demands of My divine justice. I not only call you a servant, but I call you My beloved child. Wrap your mind around that, and invest your heart’s affections upon who I AM as Father, and not just a hard task master requiring you to serve in the quarries of dead religion!
Email from Barb Dockter:
He woke me up with His presence and said, “you can rest assured”.
Then I heard the hymn “Blessed Assurance”.
Praying Shalom for you, friend.
Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine
O what a foretaste of glory divine
Heir of salvation, purchase of God
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood
Perfect submission, all is at rest
I in my Savior am happy and blessed
Watching and waiting, looking above
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Savior all the day long
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Savior all the day long
Oh what a Savior, wonderful Jesus
Death could not hold You, You are victorious
Praise to the risen King
Death could not hold You, You are victorious
Praise to the risen King
Oh what a Savior, wonderful Jesus
Oh what a Savior
Wonderful Savior
