The Rest of God is the state of existence in which you exercise more faith than when you’re trying to do so consciously. It is the place in which the Spirit is constantly working out God’s plan through you. In the beginning, God spoke things into creation, on the seventh day He rested, and even until today creation is held together by His Spirit, without Him having to repeat Himself to sustain it. For he that is entered into His rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from His. – Hebrews 4:10 (KJV) For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
You cannot be any more like Jesus than you are now. You are exactly as He is… He destroyed all imperfections, weakness and flaws at the cross. He became our inadequacies so we could be complete. You are perfect in everything. You are flawless, whole, indestructible. You are one with the Spirit of Life. You are soaking abundant Life. There is no deterioration or decay of any form in Abundant Life.
The tree of the knowledge of good and evil brought about condemnation and guilt in man. Man was subjected to a life of choosing between right and wrong. The purpose of life changed from originally enjoying a relationship with God, to having to choose between good and evil to survive. Jesus restored all things to where the New Man is now living in the abundance of life. Jesus is the Tree of Life.
We are hidden with Christ IN the Father. We emanate Spiritual life to the physical world around us. This glorious manifestation takes place when we are consciously inhabiting the Father. He is the source of life. He is life. The fallen world is in need of repair, restoration and reconciliation. We are portals of God’s glory to this dying world. We are the connection between the Spiritual and physical realms. Sons are life-giving spirits. We exude life wherever we go. It’s in our being. It’s the overflow of relationship with the Father that causes this Life to manifest.
When you inhabit the Father, there is no urgency! There is no pressure to perform or produce. Inhabiting the Father is: living by the Spirit. He produces the fruit – you just go along for the ride and watch Him live through you. Your life must be a response to His leading. Being led by him never binds you with a need to produce anything. Living in the Spirit means to cooperate with what He is leading you to do, when He wants you to do it – this is when you see the greatest results.
Our citizenship is from Heaven.. we’re not of this world, just as Jesus is. Our home is the Father. We live and move and have our being IN Him. Abiding in Him gives us the ability and authority to manifest all His glory to this fallen world and proclaim Him. The fabric of our being is soaked in the very life of who He is. We’re made of Him – we’re Spirit. We’re made in His Image and likeness – according to Him in righteousness and true Holiness – Ephesians 4:24 (KJV) And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. We cannot be any more like Him – we’re exactly as He is. We’re His sons.
