Hebrews chapter 4 - Rest= kapausis in Greek, The Heavenly blessedness in which God dwells, and of which He has promised to make persevering believers in Christ partakers after the toils and trials of life on earth are ended. November 11th 2009 it was very hard for me to read the Bible everyday actually the hardest thing I’ve ever done. There were days were reading the Bible was the last thing I want to do. At times I would be on the edge of falling asleep, but God kept pushing me through. Now I devour the word of God. I need it and if I don’t get it I usually have one of the worst days ever because I’m relying on my own power. Reading the word of God has changed my thoughts and has become who I am today. Why are we so content with ok, when God has called us to be great? Matthew 20:26-27 ( KJV ) “But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant.” Well like in Matthew, one of the things that make a person great is how and if they serve. Jesus did not come to be served but to serve. 1 Timothy 4:12 ( NLT ) “Don’t let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity.” This is what I’ve been trying to live my life as until the Lord pointed out this passage.
Update Acts 20:24 ( NLT ) But my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God. That is when I surrendered my life completely to his will in my life and submitted to the call to Peru in my life. We are bringing the word of God to places it’s never been or has been but it’s been so distorted that the truth was lost. I literally can’t be still my life is worth nothing unless I do the work of God. I will labor and rest in him for all the days of my life. So I’ve been here in Peru now for 7 and half months and Gods been faithful. But I just found out that I don’t have enough support to do the work that God has appointed me to here in Peru. I know founds are tight about I’m asking you if you would pray and see if the Lord is laying it on your heart to give. Thousands of people have accepted Christ and that’s just the beginning. I know 100% that God has called me here. If you so humbly feel like you would want to play a part in Gods awesome plan, and then please contact me. If you feel like God is leading you to give on a monthly basis the average is about a dollar a day every month; or whatever you can do. Some people even do 5 - 10 dollars a month. If you believe that you can step up to pledge any amount for 16 – 17 months please email me at aadams@extremenazarene.org or you can just contact me back on this message. I thank you for reading this and you’re ongoing faith and courage in the Lord.
