God’s Favor is for You
Written by: Andrew Friesen on 8/9/2011
God put a word in my heart for you. That word is “REST.” I don’t know what you’re facing right now. Maybe a health problem, financial, or something in your family. Whatever it may be, the answer is all wrapped up in this one word: “REST.”
Friend, the book of Ephesians gives us the secret to the victorious christian life. 1. SIT. Ephesians 2:6 2. WALK. Ephesians 4:1. And 3. STAND. Ephesians 6:1. Before we can walk out the Christian life and see God’s blessings we must FIRST learn to SIT or REST in what Christ has provided for us 2000 years ago on the cross. Likewise, before anyone can have authority of the darkness and evil, he must first learn the REST in Jesus. Every experience God has planned for you begins with the words Jesus proclaimed from the cross, “IT IS FINISHED”.
You know how God created the earth in six days and rested on the seventh? Adam, the first human being began his relationship with God on the Sabbath day of REST. Do you see it? God provided everything for Adam. All he had to do was accept what God provided. God has provided everything for you through Jesus. You are accepted, loved, blessed, righteous, healed, empowered by God all because of what JESUS has done for you. TRUST THAT. REST IN THAT. THEN, once you’ve relaxed in Jesus, TAKE ACTION in obedience to what God has put in your heart to do. This is when you begin to see God’s favor manifest in your life. Your thoughts? -Andrew

Be Still and know that I am God…I hear this from the Holy Spirit often…because in my busy schedule…He calls to me to slow down…and be still and REST….in HIM!

Even though we don’t know each other at all Andrew. We have a mutual friend in Heather.
I thank you for this word today. This is exactly what God has been focusing on teaching me these last few weeks.
Then today, just when you think everything is going great, a curve ball gets thrown at you and you either choose to rest in Christ, or fly off the handle. I’m thankful that he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.
I know that no matter what happens, I am a child of the King.

Le doy gracias a Dios por su amistad y el privilegio de ser su hermano por medio del sacrificio de Jesucristo! Asi como el Apostol Juan que se recostaba sobre el pecho de Jesus; nosotros tenemos esa misma seguridad y privilegio de reposar y estad completos en Dios. Que Dios continue usando y bendiciendo a usted y a su familia.
