Sit Down & REST!!!
But without faith it is impossible to please him…Hebrews 11:6a.
• Trust God…
• Believe God…
• Have Faith…
A few writings ago I told you to
Stand Up, now I’m telling you to Sit Down. Which is it, Stand Up or Sit Down? Actually
both are correct!
Stand Up and be the Real You; Sit
Down and Rest in God.
Being seated depicts being in the
rest of God. However, resting in God can be difficult. It might be easier to worry about
a problem than it is to Sit Down, and Rest in God. It takes no effort
to worry. None!
As a matter of fact, the devil will be
happy to do all the work for you. He will do all your thinking. He will supply
your mind with possible outcomes. You won’t be bored while he’s doing all your
work because he will also provide you with round the clock entertainment;
fearful images that will run through your head nonstop.
To Trust God to take care of our
problems is the Greatest Honor I believe we can show Him. This is what Worship is all about. Our rest comes from the fact
that God loves us and that He will work everything out for our good. Not only will
this show honor to God, but it’s a Powerful Witness to the world when they see
us at rest during hard times. This speaks volumes about Who God is. I guess the
phrase “Never let them see you sweat,” can be applied here.
There is Work to be done before
we can Rest. When we are Attacked, we should:
• Immediately Cast down imaginations and every high
thing that exalts against the knowledge of God, and bring into captivity every thought of obedience to Christ, II Cor.
10:5 (paraphrased).
• Immediately
Change our thoughts. Think on these things:
Whatsoever things are true, pure, lovely, and of good report, Phil. 4:8 (paraphrased).
Whatsoever things are true, pure, lovely, and of good report, Phil. 4:8 (paraphrased).
• Immediately Quote Scriptures that will contradict
the enemy’s lies.
•
Immediately Call on the Name of
Jesus. There is Power in His name.
No matter what the devil throws, Practice
Remaining Calm, Stable, and at Rest in
God. Remember, The World is Watching Your Performance!
