RESET

 RESET TO REST MODE!

 So God created man in His own image;
 in the image of God He created him; 
male and female He created them. 
Then God blessed them, and God said to them, 
"Be fruitful and multiply; 
fill the earth and subdue it; 
have dominion over the fish of the sea, 
over the birds of the air, 
and over every living thing that moves on the earth." 
And God said, "See, I have given you every herb 
that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, 
and every tree whose fruit yields seed; 
to you it shall be for food. 
Also, to every beast of the earth, 
to every bird of the air, 
and to everything that creeps on the earth, 
in which there is life, 
I have given every green herb for food"; 
and it was so. 
Then God saw everything that He had made, 
and indeed it was very good. 
So the evening and the morning were the sixth day. 
Thus the heavens and the earth, 
and all the host of them, were finished. 
And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, 
and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done.
Genesis 1:27-2:2


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

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.
Hebrews 4:1, 9-10

LORD, reset me as I return to You and to my first love for You.

Let me enter into Your rest and receive Your love.

Let me first BE whom You want me to BE.

Then I can do those things that You want me to do - 
 Things that would be profitable for Your Kingdom.


STOP!

CONNECT with the LORD.

START your work IN HIM.

CONTINUE IN HIM.

DON'T go BEYOND HIM.

WAIT to be FILLED with Him, Who IS LOVE.

Then, you will BE LOVE, as HE IS!


BEING is more important than DOING.

Let your DOING be through your BEING.

The whole world including the Church, have allowed themselves 
to be reset to a FAST MODE by the devil, so that the most important thing is lost.


LORD, renew and reset my mind this day, to REST mode 
so that I may be effective in my work. Amen

Flesh and Blood - Food and Drink


Flesh and Blood - Food and Drink

Physical food is for the body.
The word of GOD is food for the soul.
The LORD JESUS is food for the spirit.

"But He answered and said, "It is written,
 'Man shall not live by bread alone,
 but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.' ""
Matthew 4:4 

Since people are made of spirit, soul and body, we need all 3 kinds of food to live a wholesome life.


"Then Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you,
 unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood,
 you have no life in you.
 "Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life,
 and I will raise him up at the last day.
 "For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed.
 "He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him."
John 6:53-56 

What JESUS said upset the Jews a lot! They were commanded not to eat animal blood.
Blood depicts life.
Therefore eating blood would mean receiving life.
Eating the blood of animals would mean receiving animal life into us.

JESUS is the Son of GOD Who had an earthly or human mother.
He was sent to this world for the purpose of offering eternal life to people.
This He did by shedding His blood and dying on the cross for our sake.
Being sinless, He suffered for the sin of mankind.
He offers forgiveness to those who repent of their sin.
He gives eternal life to those who receive Him.

Eating His flesh and drinking His blood means receiving the life of JESUS into us.
JESUS is GOD'S word made flesh. He lived out the word of GOD.
Accepting JESUS is accepting GOD into our lives.
This means having eternal life - A spiritual, wholesome life on earth and then living in heaven forever!

The Bible is the word of GOD which is a description of the LORD JESUS.
The Holy Spirit is the spirit of JESUS, the very breath of JESUS.

When you receive the Holy Spirit into your heart and also diligently study and obey the word, you are abiding in JESUS and He is abiding in you. You have GOD'S life in you and this life will continue forever. You will be able to live your life on earth victoriously with spiritual perspectives. Yours will be a life of faith in the LORD JESUS.

"Jesus said to them,
 "My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me,
 and to finish His work."
 John 4:34 

We tend to focus so much on physical food while neglecting spiritual food.
You need to realize that the deep hunger that remains after your belly if full, is spiritual hunger.
Those who do not recognize this will continue to load their tummies which results in over-eating and obesity.
JESUS did not over-eat and He was not obese. He ate the food that He needed for His body.
He found spiritual fulfilment in doing the will of GOD and finishing His work.

After satisfying your physical hunger, go for soul and spiritual food.
Your soul and spirit will be satisfied with the word and the Spirit.
Then do the work that GOD has assigned for you.
You will have great fulfilment and joy in your life!
