Rest And Receive Your Inheritance

Hebrews 4:1-3

"Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it. ² For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it. ³ For we who have believed do enter that rest, as He has said: “So I swore in My wrath,
‘They shall not enter My rest,’” although the works were finished from the foundation of the world."

God wants to give us rest.  A rest and a peace that surpasses all understanding.  However, He can only give us this rest, if we are seeking His rest and blessings.  Verse 1 says, "Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it."  We are to be seeking God and His rest so diligently.  That when John 14:23 happens, all skepticism of Him being here will cease.  (John14:23)  "Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him."  God can only assist us in our journey to Him.  When we are obeying His every statue and command.  God is saying here in Hebrews, that He demands peace on earth.  Though, since most of His children down here are really not aspiring for this rest and peace.  He is turning most of our lives upside down.  He says He will do this in our bible.  We are the captains of our salvation and He commands that we act as though.  We cannot be concerned with what the next man is doing, when trying to find God.  God says our worlds wisdom is foolishness to Him.  That means we need to be renewing our minds and aligning our walks to His.  Because His word is good yesterday, today, and forever.  The Word of God will profit us nothing, if not being mixed with faith.  He says, without faith it is impossible to please Him.  Love also must be operating for Him and others.  God says, He rather us hot or cold, because lukewarm, He will vomit us out.  Our Father God, I'm sure is very disgusted with a lot of our ways and actions today.  And until we believe Him whole heartily, hearts will continually be broken.  God is offering us a love that no man can give.  He also, is trying to prosper us.  That His name might reign throughout all His earth.  Until every knee bows and all tongues confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.  We will forever be un-rested.  The works have been completed and the King reigns today.  It is now time to rest and receive our inheritances.

(Psalms 85:8-9)  "I will hear what God the Lord will speak, For He will speak peace To His people and to His saints; But let them not turn back to folly. Surely His salvation is near to those who fear Him, That glory may dwell in our land."

(Isaiah 9:6)  "For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."

Blessings to all who seek peace and rest for our world,
