The secret of resting in Jesus and living free of stress!

There remains therefore a rest for the people of God.” Hebrews 4:9

Jesus died to fulfill your every need. The gift of salvation is designed for a believer to cease from works or striving and rest in Jesus.

This spiritual principle is patterned after the creation story of God. He created the earth and every living being in six days and rested on the seventh day. 

The secret is to rest in God and commit your works to Him. 

Resting is not to be idle or ignore the challenges in life. 

Resting is a proactive relationship with Jesus filled with prayer, reading the Bible and listening for the voice of Jesus.

Resting is seeking the good, acceptable and perfect will of Jesus for your life.

Resting is casting your burdens upon the Lord and praying for His peace which surpasses all understanding.

Resting is giving the Holy Spirit authority over your life and submitting to His teaching and instructions. 

Resting is asking the Holy Spirit to do what believer cannot do on his own.

Resting is trusting in the promises of Jesus and not what a Christian sees with his eyes.

Resting is acknowledging Jesus has power and dominion over the Heavens and Earth and can change your life in a split second.

Resting is walking by faith trusting Jesus for your every need and turning away from worldly values and beliefs.

Resting is asking Jesus to fight off the attacks of Satan and provide omniscient wisdom and protection.

Resting is building a personal and powerful relationship with Jesus built on faith and obedience.
