There remains therefore a rest (keeping of the Sabbath) to the people of God. For he that is entered into His rest (God’s), he also has ceased from his own works, as God did from His.
Hebrews 4:9-10
Sabbath: The root word means “to cease or desist” from your own work!
According to God’s Word the Sabbath is a day of Rest. A day to cease and desist from your own work, to relax, rest, and recover from the work week. A day to spend with your family and the family of God in praise and worship of the God who created all things!
Rest — Not rushing around Sunday Mornings — Hastily eating breakfast, getting your kids and yourself ready! Hopping in the car — driving to “Church” — finding a parking place… Then sending your kids to “Sunday School” where some stranger will teach them… Getting your “Bulletin”, finding a place to sit, and then Giving your (money) “Offering” to a man who probably doesn’t even know your name, your problems, or your needs… And if he has his way you will be back tonight to repeat the process and give another “Offering”!!!
They — Satan’s Ministers — call this “Church”! God called them “Liars”, Jesus called them “Thieves”… We call them “Merchandisers — Buyers and Sellers” as there is “No more Offering for Sin”!
So you go to a building made with hands and listen to their lies, give them your money, and call it “Church”???
Jesus said of those that bought and sold in The Temple, “You have made My Father’s House a Den of Thieves and a House of Merchandise!” Then He died, paying for everything for every one, rose from the dead, and said, “My God will provide for all your Needs, Wants, and Desires through Me!”
Attempting to Buy or Sell, any of God’s Gifts, is a one-way ticket to hell; just like Unbelief!!!
Do you not believe what is Written, “The most High dwells not in temples made with hands.”
Did you not hear His warning,…“Your money perish with you, because you have thought that the gifts of God can purchased with money.”
Are you still giving your money to some other man hoping that God will Bless, Prosper, and Heal you or your family???
Wake up!
“Come out from among Them…And God will receive you!”
Come out from among whom? Revelation 2:2 tells us who They are… “You have examined the claims of Those who say They are apostles …Butt, are not. You have discovered They are liars.” The Buyers and Sellers…The Liars who say, “This is The House of God…God will bless you, heal you, and prosper you…if you give me money!”
The Scriptures say differently…
If you have been Born of the Spirit, you are a spirit living in a house of flesh — Your Body! Your body is God’s Temple!! Your Body is Christ’s House!!!
God in Christ, Christ in You. They come together in the form of the Holy Ghost! “We are His witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God has given to them that obey him!”
If a man loves me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our home with him. He that loves me not keeps not my sayings…
How can you deny “The Written Word of God” and believe these False Profits, False Pastors, False Teachers, False Televangelists, or ANYONE who preaches “A Different Gospel”?
You cannot go to God or Christ, they have to come to you…
Jesus clearly stated, “I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you!
“You are the temple of the living God; as God has said, I will dwell in you, and walk in you; and I will be your God, and you shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be you separate, says the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, and will be a Father unto you, and you shall be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty!”
This is what the New Testament is all about! God and His children reconciled!! God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself!!! We, the Gentiles, were a gift to Jesus from His Father as He said, “Yours they were, and You gave them to me!”
What kind of Father would God be if you could only go to some building once or twice a week, and just hear about Him? You are not allowed to speak in any Demon-national Service we have attended! How can you hear God talk, or talk to Him if the “Minister” has Pre-programmed the service so you just to listen to him? Think about it…
There is a better Way to communicate with God, The Way Christ showed us… Go into your closet (private place), shut the door, and pray… When Jesus appeared to His Disciples after He rose from the dead, it was in their houses, ALWAYS “The doors being shut…”
In the Old Testament God commanded Moses to “Build Him a Sanctuary” and said, “There will I meet with you.”
Now, in the New Testament, God’s Son Christ Jesus, is building Him a Spiritual House, made of Living Stones…A Holy Priesthood, to offer up Spiritual Sacrifices acceptable to God by Jesus Christ: Presenting your body “A Living Sacrifice” in Baptism, and “Offering” up the fruit of our lips the “Sacrifice of Praise” continually!
We do not “Give to Get”, we give because we have already received!
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Romans 12:1-2
God made the Sabbath for you and your family to rest, relax, and enjoy the Presence of God and Christ in your own home…Teaching your own children from God’s Word…
Instead of “Passing the Plate” — set Them a plate at your table! Do not just ask God to Bless the food, ask Him to Bless all who are at the table with you and the food!! Open your door and invite Him in for surely He will “Come in and sup with you”!!!
God made the Sabbath for man to rest in Him, and rest in all the “Promises of God” He placed in Christ. Resting and relaxing in your own home, for Christ said He and the Father would come and live (dwell) with you …Not apart from you six days of the week, living in some empty building …Butt, Living with you and in you, every moment of every day, every week, every month, every year…For Ever 🙂
Learn to rest in God in your own home — you do not have to go anywhere — He came to you, and for you — Not for your money — For You! Honor Him on whatever day you have available. Enjoy the Sabbath as God designed it…With Them in peace, Love, and Joy unspeakable…Amen!
Why do we «dress up» for church? Why does the pastor preach a sermon each week?
I want to quote your post in my blog. I can?
Please go ahead!
Thanks 🙂
Dear friends of the little flock of our Lord Jesus
It is good to hear how earnestly you are seeking to know the Way, the Truth & the Life & are turning away from the deceptions that be.
I’d like to share the wonder of the Sabbath which is fulfilled in our dear Lord Jesus, Who has become our Sabbath Rest. It is the Spiritual Rest to all born again believers. We enter into this wonderful Rest when we are saved & are required to stay in it permanently, 24/7. Resting in the finished work of Christ Jesus. Laying down all of self, every moment, & allowing Jesus to live His victorious life in & through us. His life, His nature, His power, His victory. Trusting Him in everything & resting in the knowledge that He is our Everything.
“Come unto Me all you who labour & are heavy laden & I will give you rest!” Matt 11:28.
The Sabbath Rest is a permanent state in which each true believer is required to live. It calms the body, mind, soul & spirit, no matter what is going on around us. It gives us the Peace of God which passes all human comprehension. Peace in the midst of the storm. Abiding continually in The Vine.
Hebrews 4:3 For we who have believed enter that Rest.
Hebrews 4:9-11(NASB) “There remains therefore a Sabbath Rest for the people of God.
For the one who has entered His Rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from His.
Let us therefore be diligent to enter that Rest, lest anyone fall through following the same example of disobedience.”
Please read Hebrews Chapters 3&4 to understand the full meaning of the Sabbath Rest.
I pray you will continue to grow in the grace & knowledge of the Truth in Christ Jesus & to remain standing firm in the faith, girded with the spiritual armour He has given us, whereby we will overcome the enemy of our souls.
Maranatha, Jesus is coming soon.
