Rest In The Lord!

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

It’s so fulfilling to REST. To Rest from all your labor after working all week. To REST in the finished work of Jesus on Calvary. To REST from all fear, worry, harm, stress, and dis ease. To REST from struggle, deadlines, and all the hustle and bustle of life. To enter the INNER REST of FAITH, whereby, we occupy the promise or promised land.

To REST, to be restored. To REST your mind, your heart, on the WORD promises and security of God. We labor, to enter, HIS REST, because he is the God, who makes all things possible and beautiful in HIS TIME! There is a REST for the weary, a refreshing, sanctuary, a full resort and complete sabbath REST, for the people of God. Where we are made confident that the Father has gone before us and provided everything we need.

Let’s enter in….. He says, “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. [Jer. 6:16.] 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.” Come away with Me and I will take you there… (Matthew 11:28-30, Isaiah 28:12, Hebrews 5:9)

God Draws Us With His Love And Mercy

by Hazel Straub

God does not treat us as we deserve, but is very good to us. His goodness towards us causes us to soften our hearts, so we turn from our rebellion and fully to him. When our sinful behavior does not get immediate negative consequences, we tend to think that we are getting away with it. Instead, God draws us to him with love, grace and mercy.

Do the riches of his extraordinary kindness make you take him for granted and despise him? Haven’t you experienced how kind and understanding he has been to you? Don’t mistake his tolerance for acceptance. Do you realize that all the wealth of his extravagant kindness is meant to melt your heart and lead you into repentance? (Romans 2:4 TPT)

Your God Given Destiny

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

You have a date with Destiny and cannot be late, Forgiveness deletes the speed bumps in the road of your destiny. You can’t allow the enemy nor your circumstances to dictate your destiny

Your destiny doesn’t answer to the approval of men but the approval of God. Grab a hold to your destiny in hand and pursue God withal your heart.

Destiny is not some far away place in your future, if you’re doing what God is requiring of you, you’re in destiny this instance, just not all of it. Therefore, if you’re feeling restless, frustrated, or annoyed, it’s usually your destiny calling for you to get into the presence of God…

Victor By Faith Or Complain In Defeat?

by Hazel Straub

Have you reacted to life disappointments with complaining? When we are unhappy and throw a self-pity party, fuel is given to the enemy of our soul. We get discouraged and either quit or run from what appears as an unbeatable giant. God has promised that he will not give us more than we can handle. We often get tests, so we can overcome the challenge, relying in faith on the Lord God.

The ancient Hebrews were miraculously delivered from slavery in Egypt. When ten of the spies brought back a report of giants, in the land of promise, the people responded with complaining and despair. Only two spies believed that God would give them their land, despite how things appeared. Complaining caused them to lose their blessing of something bigger. They ended up dying in the wilderness.

What will you choose today? Complaining or rejoicing in the Lord? Worshiping God and seeing victory or pouting? Going in pride and independence or faith in God giving you victory?

Do everything without grumbling or arguing, (Philippians 2:14 NET)

Breath Of God, Breathe On Us

by Hazel Straub

Discouraged? God has great plans for each of you. God’s love and faithfulness never fail because he never gives up, on you. Hold to hope, in him.

Breathe, breath of God, on us. Breathe over our dead dreams, our destiny not yet fulfilled. Our cry, dead bones come alive!  Out of the ashes, let us see arise hope, faith, fresh life and love. You, Faithful God, never fail us!

Your breath brings life, love and fresh hope. We look to you and your light floods us. You, Lord are our provision. We receive your breath, today that refreshes us!

Again He said to me, “Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, ‘O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord!  Thus says the Lord God to these bones: “Surely I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live. I will put sinews on you and bring flesh upon you, cover you with skin and put breath in you; and you shall live. Then you shall know that I am the Lord. (Ezekiel 37:4-6 NKJV)

Heart Actions Are Treasured

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

I just realized, it’s not your “words” but your heart-actions that I remember the most…

It’s not your “actions” but your heart-words that I treasure the most, because I value what purely comes from the heart.

Desperate For An Audience Of One With Jesus?

by Hazel Straub

The Lord says: Do you have the same hunger for me as you have for food, possessions and entertainment? Do you long to eat and drink the delicacies of my spiritual food and drink, more than anything else? I desire to sup with you but you are too busy. My heart yearns for you to spend more time with me, so I can satisfy your true thirst and hunger.

Rest and worship, as did the woman, who desired my presence more than the approval of men. Her breaking her alabaster box and pouring its costly precious perfume, on my head, was fragrant worship that remained with me, when I laid down my life for you. (Matthew 26:6-13)

I long for worshipers that desire me more than anything else. It is time for you to cry out to me: Make me more hungry and thirsty for you, Jesus!

Oh, who will pay the price, to truly worship me, seeking me with their whole heart? Come away with me, my beloved.

What Is Most Important To You?

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

It doesn’t matter what your present circumstances are, your experiences of the past, what may or may not come in your future, or who is with you or against you. What matters most is where your HEART is towards GOD!
