Yom Shabbat, Shevat 5, 6003 – January 12, 2019
Resting In Peace
It is a custom here to say about someone when they die, “Rest in peace.” As I sit here this Sabbath morning, I think about the day of rest that this is, and how we are to be at peace. Our peace that is our search is peace with God. If we can get to peace with God, which means no war, fullness of life, restoration, etc., then we can have everything we need. The good news is, we can! There has already been a death, that was our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). And when we accept that death, we die with Him, and we are no longer at enmity with God. It is a world where the carnal and the spiritual are not aligned. We are to bring the the Spirit into the world by exalting it over the carnal.
Romans 8:20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
When we choose to observe the peace with YAH on the Sabbath, we continue the process of restoration in the earth. We bring peace to the earth.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here in the hearts and minds and bodies of the people, which is Your will, just as Your will is in heaven. Send us Your provision. Deliver us from the evil here. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Deliver us from the evil of thoughts, memories and emotions of the evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories and emotions of You. Restore unto Your people all that the worm has eaten. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all the good that the enemy and his minions have taken or held back in any way from your people, and the more besides. We ask all these things of You Father, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMoshiach. May it be so, my King. May You extend Your scepter and command the earth and all that is in it to break forth with abundance and blessing for us. Amen and Amen. Forever Amen.
