Guard my soul and deliver me; do not let me be ashamed, for I take refuge in You. Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for You. Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles. Psalm 25:20-22.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
Jesus is My Word dwelling among you. In Him I give you an invitation to return to Me, not as a sinner, not as a beggar, but as a saint qualified for your inheritance in the Kingdom of Light—holy, blameless and without reproach.
“I have wiped out your transgressions like a thick cloud and your sins like a heavy mist. Return to Me, for I have redeemed you.” Isaiah 44:22.
Joyously giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in Light. For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. Colossians 1:11-14.
For by giving His life for you, that is, by His blood, I have eternally redeemed you and made you righteous with My own righteousness. He took your sins and you took His righteousness. He brings you into the Light and He brings you there with joy.
Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:2.
And what was that joy?
When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high. Hebrews 1:3.
And He brought forth His people with joy, His chosen ones with a joyful shout and joyful singing. Psalm 105:34.
And to you who have accepted My invitation to you in Jesus to be reconciled to Me, for I was in Christ reconciling the world to Myself not counting your trespasses against you, Jesus gives you an invitation.
“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30.
You may not realize it, but here is your invitation to come live in My Light, which is My rest, and in this place of light and grace, life comes easy. Life becomes enlightened with My Light.
Let Me explain, but for many of you, even believers, this may be difficult to grasp until you experience it with Me for yourself. As long as you hold back and live in torment, fear, and are not sure that I will give you what I have promised in My Word, such as healing, prosperity, solutions, answers, and all My magnificent covenant promises and Names, life does not come easy but is up and down and you will be plagued with fear and agitation. If you do not come to know and believe that when you give your cares to Me I really do take care of them immediately, if not sooner, you will not have peace in what looks like an irreversible and impossible situation. for I am the LORD who sees ahead and already has arranged the solution, the deliverance, and the excellent result.
But if you grasp this and live this life of union and complete trust with Me, you will sing with David, “The LORD is my Light and my Salvation, whom shall I fear?” Psalm 27:1. And as you go deeper into the Light of My presence, you will understand the deep confidence in the knowing that David knew when he sang, “The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want.” Psalm 23:1.
When you live your days and nights in the Light of My presence, knowing Me and My absolute goodness and commitment to you, your life becomes a love affair.
And when you get to that place, you become unshakeable, unconquerable, and filled with joy unspeakable. You know that you really don’t need to grab and keep things, for you really don’t need those things, you just need Me and all those things will be added to you in an ever flowing channel of Light, of grace, of shalom peace. When you are constantly and increasingly living in My Light, all you need will be right there when you need it. And you will receive it with joy, for you will have been anticipating it, knowing I will give you the answer you need, the awareness of what needs to be done, and the wisdom required to do it.
Know this and it will make your life joyful and peaceful: No matter what it is that has come against you or that you have gotten yourself into, whatever it is you are facing or need, NOTHING IS TOO HARD FOR ME, NOTHING IS TOO WONDERFUL FOR ME, AND NOTHING IS IMPOSSBILE FOR ME. And that ALL things are possible to those who believe that.
I am intent on making everything work out good for you who love Me and have committed your lives to Me. Desire to live in My Light and be committed to leave all thoughts, words, deeds, and remembrance of darkness behind and to walk only in the Light of My Love.
But even if you slip, stumble or fall, if you know Me, this will not trip you up. In the Light you find My forgiveness and that ever flowing river of mercy that continually cleanses you in the Blood of My Son.
Do not rejoice over me, O my enemy. Though I fall I will rise; though I dwell in darkness, the LORD is a light for me. Micah 7:8.
Relax into My goodness and do not fret and tremble with fear, doubting I will give you the good result I have promised. Learn that I am with you, that I am for you, and that I am working on your behalf. Know and believe in the love I have for you. I have more then proved My commitment to you in Christ.
But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:37-39.
How do you reach this place of grace in which you can now rest in Jesus? Let us go back to His invitation to you.
“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30.
First come to Him, for He is your way to Me. No one comes to Me but through Him, but when you are in Him, and I have sealed you who believe in Him with My Holy Spirit, you are in Me. He reveals Me to you in all My glory, which is My goodness, My power and My presence. And this is an invitation not just to those who are strong but to those who are weary and burdened with the things the world, the flesh, and the devil raise in their lives in ever increasing onslaught, for the devil knows that his time now is short until My Son returns for His faithful ones.
And when you come to Him He will give you rest. How? He released you from your sins by His Blood and took from you all that held you in fear and bondage.
Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also partook of the same, that through death He might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and might free those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives. Hebrews 2:14-15.
All My promises, and all My many and magnificent promises are “yes” to you in Jesus, you can rest assured in that when the contrary strikes. But it is when you know and understand that I love you with a love that is beyond any love you can ask or imagine and nothing you have ever done or do will change that love, you will begin to live in that place of peace that is beyond understanding. Why? You will know and experience the miracles of My goodness in every trial, challenge, or burden that dares to come your way. You will watch in awesome wonder as things turn out just as I promised IF you will only speak the blessed result in accordance with My Word and stay calm in the face of a storm. Declare, rebuke, rejoice and rest, knowing it will turn out just as I said in My Word.
The devil will step up things fast and furious, but all that does is bring things to the place in which checkmate takes place if you rebuke him all three times he sends his attack. You check his advance with My Word. It is like this, first one thing will happen in the chain of events in a problem, and you come through that and think you are now home free. And then the second attack comes of another error or evil, and that one you answer with My Word and sail through with Me miraculously taking care of that next move of Satan, and then, just when you think it is now going forward well, you find another error or evil, but do not worry, just do the same as you did in the other two and again apply My Word, and it is at that point the devil has gone too far and the whole thing is reversed in your favor, because it is at that point that I can now put forth My hand to still it all in vindication. I can step in and calm it all. I am now justified to take everything down for the devil went too far and the favor will be there for you so that all are willing to give the good result.
And now let us continue with the invitation: “Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
Jesus tells you that you are to take up His yoke. He is offering to take you out from under the yoke of slavery to sin that the devil has put on your shoulders as your taskmaster who beats you into carrying out his will, to be yoked with Jesus to pull together to get the job done as equally yoked, not as a slave but as a partner. I have called you to fellowship (partnership) in My Son, and He extends that amazing invitation to you.
They stooped over, they have bowed down together; they could not rescue the burden, but have themselves gone into captivity. Isaiah 46:1.
And yoked with Him, He offers to teach you to profit and the way you should go, And He does not reproach you, He comes gently and humbly, having humbled Himself to death, death on the Cross for you. He humbly bore and took the blame, shame, guilt, and punishment due for all your sins as if they were His own. And in learning from Him, your true and only Teacher (for He is My Word), you will find rest for your troubled souls (mind, will, and emotions), and your life will come easy and light. Not because the devil ceases from trying to steal your peace, but because you know Me and receive My enlightenment, you know just how to address it and come out better than before it all began.
When trouble starts, just enter deeper into My rest and seek the Word I am sending to heal you and deliver you from all your destructions (pits). And don’t worry the Word for you is always there, all prepared for you in advance that you might enjoy the wonderful gift of life lived in My Light. Nothing will move you once you really know My goodness, My glory, My wisdom, and My peace.
Living in My Light is living in My goodness. My goodness represents to you who I am. When Moses asked to see My glory, I told Him I would show Him My goodness. I desire only goodness for you. I want your life to overflow with My goodness in every area. I want to overwhelm you with My goodness, for it is My goodness that causes people to repent and return to Me.
How great is Your goodness, which You have stored up for those who fear You, which You have wrought for those who take refuge in You, before the sons of men! Psalm 31:19.
I love you. Come. And how do you come? In Christ. And how is He leading you? With joyful shouts and singing.
