The Power of Rest

     An audio version of this message will soon be available at the link below:


Matthew Chapter Eleven

28. Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.

29. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

30. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”



     As I read these verses today Jesus spoke to me and asked me to write down these words and share them with you. He said:

     My little ones, I know you are weary. I know you are tired and worn out. But why is this so? It’s because you are trying to live in your own strength and not according to my grace. Religion has heaped a lot of rules and regulations on you that I never gave you. It was the same in the Old Covenant. Just a few commandments turned into a burdensome prison of rules that caused people to collapse under the weight of it.

     It is not that way in the New Testament. I told you that in the New Covenant, I would write my laws on your heart and in your mind and I would live inside you and be your God and you would rest in me and be my people.

     The so called “faith message” has taught you to do this and you will get that and to “not do this” and you won’t get that. It’s not about what you do or what you did; it’s about what I did. I conquered your enemies, I took your sin, your sickness and disease and your poverty and I took it all away. I didn’t do it because you kept all the rules but I did it because I love you and I wanted you to be free.

     So many have so many rules and trust in so many strange things. So many say, “I believe in prayer and prayer works.” How silly is that. If your house is on fire do you believe in your telephone or do you believe the people on the other end of the call will help you? 
     This strange doctrine teaches you to trust your methods and not to trust the one who loves you. They tell you if you do all the things right and get all your confessions in order then the God on the other end will be forced to do what you say. They tell you your blessings and your provision comes from the things you do and not from a Loving Father who cares for you.

     What they teach is not a relationship. Those of you who are married try that with your spouse. Try telling them they have to be intimate with you and give you what you want because you have marriage papers or because you did something and now they owe you.

     My beloved one, throw out all those rules and regulations and just listen to what I write on your heart. Nothing on the outside can empower you anyway. The reason the old commandments couldn’t be kept is because they were external. A man is changed from the inside out and not the outside in.

     Most of all you have been taught about me is wrong. It’s based on legalism and not on love. You must build your foundation on love or you will never see how the kingdom works. Faith that is not based on my love is powerless.

     Remember I told my disciples that if they had the faith of mustard seed they could say unto “this mountain” be removed and cast into the sea and it would obey you?” Which mountain was I referring to? I was referring to the temple mount with all its rules and regulations. If you just had a tiny, mustard seed faith in my love then you would cast all your religious bondage into the sea. You would know that all that legalism doesn’t get you access to your Father. I am the way, the truth and the life and I am the one who did all that was to be done to get you in right standing with your Father and all of heaven.

     This contract was made before the world began. It was done long before you arrived. You were chosen in me before the world began. You were forgiven even before you sinned. You were adopted before you were orphans. All these things only existed in your thinking. You have always been mine and will always be mine. All I need you to do is rest in me and become as complete on the outside as you are on the inside.

     Please my loved ones let your worry and strife go. You are not fighting for victory. You are fighting your minds from stealing the victory you were given. On earth they tell you to fight for all you want but in the kingdom you are told to come unto me and rest your way into all that you already have.

     This is why I said unless you become as humble as a little child you can’t see the kingdom. It is because a child doesn’t work for their food. They don’t struggle to overcome their problems. If something seems hard they run right to mama or daddy and say “help me.”

     This is how the kingdom works. You are beloved children. All of heaven adores you. The only thing lacking is your understanding of who you are and what you are possessing. You have been given all things that pertain to life and godliness. It’s all in your possession already. 

     The blockage is not the devil or your circumstances. The blockage is in your religious and mental training that teaches you that you must do to have. The opposite is true. You do because you have. Freely you have received so freely you give.

     If you start in need you will finish in need. If you start with abundance that has no end then you will finish even more abundantly. Until your mind is renewed to the fact that you are completely loved, completely healed, completely blessed then you will struggle.

     Your beginning was not in Adam. You didn’t begin in a garden. You began in me. You were chosen in me before the foundation of the world. You were not born of the will of the flesh but of my Father’s will. You were not born a sinner. You were taught you were a sinner. Your sins were taken away long before you were born. Religion hid your identity from you. Making you think you were my enemy and that I was angry at you. You have always been my beloved.

     So please my beloved, think this through again. Start with yourself in me and see that you have always been in me. Come to me and find rest for your souls. You don’t have to come far. I am inside you. The door you seek is internal. Fellowship with me in your heart until you see the entrance into my rest. When problems arise, worship first and you won’t worry later.

     Remember that you can’t ask me for anything that I didn’t already give you. All that you need is inside you. As you worship the answer will come from within and manifest itself without. A good man brings forth good treasure from within his own heart. You are not waiting on me for anything. The toolbox and toy box is within you. Draw out what you need and use it.

     Do you remember when Peter and John saw the lame man? Peter said, “I don’t have any silver or gold to give you but inside me is what you need.” He knew what he was needing to give the man was not external. It was inside. As long as you are waiting for anything external then you don’t see the kingdom. The Kingdom is inside you because I am your King and I am inside you. You are my temple. You are my holy place and you are my dwelling place because to me you are the most lovely place I could ever live.

     No more worrying and weariness. Come to me and rest. Come to me in the secret place of your heart. Trust me and let me carry away your cares and let me smile away all your tears. I am delighted to be your savior and your friend. I am not ashamed to call you my family. I am delighted to do so. This was our plan all along. Come to me and unleash the power of rest.

     My loved ones love each other and be kind to each other. You are all one body each and every one. Awaken to the God who lives in you and be free.



     And these were the words He spoke to me earlier today.
I hope you are encouraged by these words.
Until next time.
Grow Rich in His Grace.
I love you all,
michael
