We will get spiritual rest inside us to get peace surrounding our mind.

Faith is 100% being able to rely on God.

We can totally rely and trust in Him.

Adam was the only one who was made in God's image.

Adam also needs to be settled.


God is spirit.


“The Lord God took the man and ‘RESTED him’ [nuakh] into the garden of EDEN to work it and keep it.”


H5731 Eden

Transliteration: ‛êden

Phonetic: ay'-den

EDEN = "PLEASURE"


God created a special garden, Eden, where He wants Adam to rest.

In that garden, Adam was able to see God.


Nun - Spiritual life; spiritual seed


We will have spiritual eyes to enter into the door of life.

Spiritual eyes need to be opened.

Experience His life.

Live the pleasure and restful life on this earth.


Today, Jesus came as the door, back into the spiritual life of pleasure that God meant for us.


GENESIS 2:16-17 NKJV

And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”


Spiritual death and physical death.

Spiritual death - When Adam eat it, his eyes is closed and he cannot enter into the door anymore.


GENESIS 2:18 NKJV

And the Lord God said, "It is not good that man should be ALONE; will make him a HELPER comparable to him."


Through Jesus Christ, we have come to know Him.

New spirit need to continue to see the spiritual realm.

the SPIRIT of TRUTH, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be IN YOU.


This helper (Holy Spirit) is God given specially for God's children.

Holy Spirit is the spirit of truth.

The only truth is Jesus.


He doesn't condemned us even though we make the wrong decision.

He will lead us from the spirit inside or lead us to someone who can lead us.


JOHN 14:18 TPT

“I promise that I will NEVER LEAVE you HELPLESS or ABANDON you as orphans—I will come back to you!

Jesus replied, “Loving me empowers you to obey my WORD. And my Father will love you SO DEEPLY that we will COME to YOU and make you our DWELLING PLACE. (HOME) But those who don’t love me will not obey my words. The Father did not send me to speak my own revelation, but the WORDS of my FATHER.


Tripartite living inside us - Father, Son and Holy Spirit


JOHN 14:26 NKJV

But the HELPER, the HOLY SPIRIT, whom the Father will send in MY NAME, He will TEACH you ALL things, and BRING to your REMEMBRANCE ALL things that I SAID to you.


Holy spirit knows better in all areas of our lives - Parenting, finances, cooking etc.

He will teach us all things provided if we want to learn.

He wants to show us the truth, show us the way and show us the life.

What can ACCESS to GOD'S FAVOUR do for you?


GOD’s FAVOUR grants you favour before people that matter in your journey of life.

God will give us that favour if we go to the Father.

HEBREWS 4:9 TPT

So we conclude that there is still a FULL and COMPLETE SABBATH-REST waiting for BELIEVERS to experience.


Religion is trying to curry favour God.

Hoping when we do good, God will bless us.


What please God? - Faith please God.

Without faith, it is impossible to please God.

As we ENTER into GOD’S FAITH -REST LIFE we CEASE from OUR OWN WORKS, just as God celebrates his finished works and rests in them.

HOW?

WHEN YOU BELIEVE HIS WORD BY FAITH. AND LET HOLY SPIRIT lead you to MAKE WISE DECISIONS in line with GOD'S WORD.



REST API (RESTful API)


A RESTful API is an architectural style for an application program interface (API) that uses HTTP requests to access and use data.


That data can be used to GET, PUT, POST and DELETE data types, which refers to the reading, updating, creating and deleting of operations concerning resources.


How many days can you rest:-

in a week?

in a month?

in a year?

in your whole lifetime?


SO WHAT IS THE KEY TO A BELIEVER'S SABBATH REST?


USE YOUR ACCESS TO THE FATHER'S FAVOUR BY FAITH IN CHRIST THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT



Jesus came so we can have access to Father's favour.



WHAT'S the ACCESS CODE or PASSWORD?

- Jesus' Name (De Jesus)


Do you have your ACCESS card with you?

If YES, ENTER into GOD'S SABBATH REST anytime anywhere!


This is our first key to enter into His sabbath rest.

The cross has guaranteed this rest.
