For since the beginning of the world

Men have not heard nor perceived by the ear,

Nor has the eye seen any God besides You,

Who acts for the one who waits for Him

Is 64:4

Entering the rest of God starts with exercising faith in the words of promise given to all men everywhere that we must surrender to the King of kings to "rest" for our souls.

there is no room for man's wisdom or pride if you want to receive the rest of God

Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit says the Lord of hosts

"Rest" doesn't mean what you think

Start thinking "Ceasing from work" and God "blessing time"

The "Rest" of God is the Seven Day of Creation

At that time Jesus answered and said, “I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and have revealed them to babes.

Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight. All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.

Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

Mt 11:25-30

The Promise of Rest

"Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it"

Heb 4:1

What is the "rest" that the writer to the Hebrews is speaking of?

Shalom = the destruction of the underlying authority that creates chaos

Our goal with every human that visits our land is for a transformative emotional healing of their human soul. We believe this land exists for the sole purpose of facilitating the operation of a real soul healing that only The Creator can do. Soul restoration, that is rebuilding the human back to his or her original state, starts at the very foundation of the human which is in the depths of their soul and then moves all the way up to the operation of their mind. Our thoughts come out of our soul and it is our thoughts that dictate our emotions and the steps we take.

From the Beginning the Creator built into time a seventh Day. A time of rest. Not due to tiredness but to meditate and ponder on the entire plan of God. When we study the entire Word of God from the beginning of time we see a Garden perfectly deigned for all of the creative elements and man set as the overseer of the entire operation of Creation. From the Beginning man was trained by time itself to "rest" on the seventh Day. We know they failed when Adam and Eve succumbed to the lies and deception of the Serpent, and Yah knew from the Beginning they would fall into a state of death. The seventh Day points to a Resurrection from the grave that was eternally planned by the Triune God.

If we re-Build the soul on the truths contained in the Word of God, mainly as we read in Genesis 1 & 2, we begin the process of leading a broken soul out of the dark cave of despair and unbelief to the bright lights of truth and eventually glory, a 7th day of rest with God. The purpose of those called to be His ambassadors of reconciliation is to bring men and women back into full faced fellowship with the Father to enjoy of "rest" promised to us in Genesis 2.

In the born again experience we all have access to the "rest of God" otherwise Paul wouldn't have told us so. We are restored to Biblical Israel, grafted in, and to all the promises given to Moses and the prophets. We see Ezekiel speaking of a future restoration that we are now living in. Today we wait for the Final Act of Heaven coming down to Earth and the Son of God dwelling with His People, those who have experienced the transformation of the new birth.

The context of the writing of the book of Hebrews is a letter of warning for the Jews still living in Jerusalem, so what was going on in Jerusalem at the time of the writing of this letter? What was about to be destroyed?

The Hebrews living in Jerusalem in 66-67 AD were gonna face tremendous persecution from the Roman army which was going to sack the city in a couple years. In 70 AD, Titus was gonna destroy the city of Jerusalem and the temple. The book of Hebrews is a love letter to warn God's people inside the city to flee for safety. The believing Jews, Hebrews, and Israelites living in Jerusalem were those who were waiting for the return of the Messiah from heaven and Seventh Day Millennial reign from Jerusalem fulfilling the words spoken in the second Temple period through Enoch and other extra biblical writers.

The writer of Hebrews wants desperately for the reader of his letter to understand this "rest" that is promised to all believers no matter their tribal affiliation or ancestry especially those living in Jerusalem. The writer uses the wandering tribe of Israelites that left Egypt only to die in the wilderness as an example of what not to do. Unbelief was the issue. The people didn't enter God's rest because they let fear of circumstances dictate where their feet would go. They also didn't understand that the Land promised to Abraham would eventually be the place where the Messiah would be born, die, rise again, ascend on High, and one day in the future return to set up His Throne on literal Earth where we dwell today.

We are facing the same issues today in our modern world. The world system wants to destroy the human and his connection to the Father. We fight back with our faith in the actual history of mankind and the reality of the incarnation of the Son of God to save us from our all of our sins including unbelief and anxiety. We proclaim the Return of King Jesus to judge the Earth in righteousness to Judge every wicked thing whether terrestrial or celestial or human.

Today if you hear His Voice do not harden your hearts. That's what the writer states to all of us. Today is the Day of Salvation and today is the Day to enter His Rest.

For if Joshua had given them rest, then He would not afterward have spoken of another day. There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His.

Heb . 4: 8-10

All humans have access to the "Rest of God" by faith. Our circumstances or background must not determine how we feel about the invitation to enter His Rest. Real peace comes from the impartation of the Holy Spirit. By faith we receive the promise of rest when we start walking out our conviction that we belong to Heaven, that Our Father will sustain our lives and our way as He sees fit. Using the negative example of the wandering Israelites the writer tells us that God had already defeated the Canaanites before Joshua's battles would begin.

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.

Heb.4:3

In these messages I seek to stimulate your thoughts to want the things that the writer wants for the believers living in a dangerous city. He wanted them to do what God the Father wanted them to do. Leave and save your physical being was one response. For another it might be stay til the end to warn the people of God to flee. The latter work may cost the life of the one warning the flock, either way the "rest of God" is available to everyone who hears and obeys the Word of Jesus to come into His Rest, His yoke is easy and His burden is light .
