When you rest, God works — and your enemies become your footstool.

God is saying it is time to Take Rest from battles while He works to bring your enemies to become your footstool. A footstool is a low stool for resting the feet 🐾 on while sitting on a king's 👑 throne chair 🪑. God asked me to reassure you that the enemies will not succeed in overthrowing you 🫵. God is declaring to you 🫵 today that your enemies will henceforth be at your footstool in Jesus Name! God will bring your enemies to submission to you 🫵 today in Jesus Mighty Name 🫵.

When you 🫵 rest, God works. Look at what happens when you 🫵 become rest conscious. Consider 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 🙏.

What do you 🫵 see when it comes to healing for a condition in your sick body or breakthroughs for your financial challenges? Do you 🫵 see lack and say, "Let me get out of this situation first. Let me hear the doctor's report say that everything is clear, and then I can rest"? We find it hard to rest because our human nature is inclined towards worries and restlessness. Have you 🫵 believed that you 🫵 can only rest when things go well or when you 🫵 see your breakthroughs? Stop saying, "When my child finishes primary school, I will stop worrying and rest." You know what? After primary school, there is secondary school. Then, after your child completes secondary school, you will say, "I think when my child finishes university, then I will rest." And you will never rest! May God give you 🫵 the grace of victorious rest from today in Jesus Name 🙏.

John 5:10-12, 16 says: The Jews therefore said to him who was cured, "It is the Sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed 🛏️." He answered them, "He who made me well said to me, 'Take up your bed 🛏️ and walk.'" Then they asked him, "Who is the man who said to you, 'Take up your bed 🛏️ and walk'?" For this reason, the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill Him, because He had done these things on the Sabbath. The religious people were upset because it was the Sabbath. They saw healing at work. To them, healing the man on a day of rest meant that Jesus was working on the wrong day! May God disgrace anyone who will contest your deliverance from difficult situations from today in Jesus Name 🙏.

Now, if you had known this man, wouldn't you ask him, "Hey, what happened to you? How did you get cured?" Instead, the people he met said, "It is the Sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed 🛏️." Look, this man hadn't walked in 38 years! But the people around him were only concerned that he had carried his bed 🛏️ on the day of rest. This is how legalistic people are. They cannot see the blessings, only the problems. They don't want you to marry, have financial freedom, or be healthy. They question everything they see around you 🫵. I prophesy against anyone questioning your God-given rest: they will never experience God's rest in Jesus Name 🙏.

Another example is the healing of a woman who was bowed down for 18 years. When Jesus healed her in the synagogue, the ruler of the synagogue, the woman's "Pastor", said, "There are six days on which men ought to work; therefore come and be healed on them, and not on the Sabbath day" (Luke 13:14). The Lord then answered him and said, "Hypocrite! Does not each one of you on the Sabbath loose his ox or donkey 🐴 from the stall, and lead it away to water it? So ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound — think of it — for 18 years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath?"

There are people who question God's continuous blessings over your life. Is it only you 🫵??? Why are you 🫵 the only one testifying??? May the Grace of God over your life Disgrace them today in Jesus Mighty Name 🙏.

(TAKE A REST 🙏)
