✍️ When you🫵 rest, God works. Look at what happens when you🫵 become rest conscious. Looking at the story of how Jesus healed a man who had been suffering from an infirmity for 38 years. In John 5:8-9, Jesus said to him, "Rise, take up your bed and walk". And immediately the man was made well, took up his bed, and walked. And that day was the Sabbath. I asked the Lord why He asked the man to take up his bed. Why not just ask him to rise and walk? And He showed me that the bed 🛏️ is a picture of rest. So what Jesus was saying to the man was, "Rise, take a rest and walk!" God wants you🫵 to sit down and rest while He completes His work. Notice that that day was the Sabbath, the day of rest. Therefore, what God is saying is that when you rest, He works! Isn't this amazing? Receive grace to rest for a while that will end in testimonies in Jesus Name 🙏.

Some Christians still think that healing is man's work, not God's work. They go around thinking, "I'm not doing enough, that's why I'm not healed". They cannot believe that healing can be as simple as being at rest in God's finished work, saying and believing, "Lord Jesus, as You are free from every disease and sickness, so am I in this world 🌎".

Did you know that even the words "healed" and "relaxed" are linked in the Hebrew language? One of the Hebrew names of God is Jehovah-Rapha which means "I, the Lord, am your healer". Exodus 15:26. The Hebrew word Rapha not only means "to heal", but one of its root definitions also means "the relaxed". So, healing comes by being at rest, not by working. Jesus' death has given us life and wholeness. Receive grace of rest and healing from God today in Jesus Name 🙏.

Seek rest first that it may be well. God does not say, "Wait until all your enemies have been destroyed, until every problem in your life has been resolved, then you can rest". He says, "Rest first until I make all your enemies your footstool". Psalms 101:1.

I want to share about two women who faced a financial situation during a time of famine. Now, Naomi was a woman of God, and this is what she said to her daughter-in-law Ruth. Ruth 3:1 ... "My daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee?" In other words, Naomi told Ruth, "Shall I not seek rest for you, so that things will go well for you?" Isn't it strange that Naomi mentioned rest first? Isn't human nature more inclined to say, "Shall I not seek for things to go well with you, so that you can rest?" But God wants His nature to reign, and He loves you so much that He says, "You🫵 are already seated on the throne. You🫵 rest first. Sit down until I put the conquered enemies — that financial situation, that symptom in your body — under your feet". God will put all your enemies under your footstool today in Jesus Mighty Name 🙏.

God wants you to find rest amid the storm. And when you rest in Him, things will go well. This doesn't mean that there are no enemies. But you🫵 will rule amid your enemies! Psalms 110:2. Psalms 23:5 says that God prepared a table for you🫵 in the presence, not the absence, of your enemies. Some of you may say, "Lord, how can you expect me to eat now? The symptoms are still in my body! My bank account still shows the lack! Lord, I will eat well, and I will celebrate when all my problems are resolved". But the Bible says that God doesn't follow human nature. God says, "I will prepare a table. You eat in the presence of your enemies, and I will take care of the enemies". Receive grace to eat from God's table in the presence of your enemies in Jesus Name 🙏.
