12 Days of July Pure Worship Rest in Him. 07/05/2008 4:54:58 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time There remain a rest for the people of God. Hebrews 4:10 (New King James Version) 10 For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His. | |
Sabbath Ensouled Sobriety 1. Worship is to take time and attention to savor God 2. To indue or imbue (give qualities or abilities to; gift; empower) Sabbath with time and attention to savor God a. Abstinence allows us to disengage from labor 3. Claim and evaluate the fragments of creation a. Praise and thanksgiving b. Preparation for recreation
The soul knows no rest except the soul rest in God. God pledged a vow of abstinence. God ensouled this day when He rested. Rest is a bequeathed endowment from God. God who needed no rest endow humanity with a time of renewal and abstinence. God foreknew that our souls longing is balance. God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it because He abstained from all His work which God created to make" (Gen. 2:4). Nachmanides (12th century) interpreted these words to mean "he ceased to perform all His creative work." Our souls longing is balance from labor to reward. It is like waiting for our souls to catch up with our body.
Rest allows us to claim and evaluate the fragments of creation. In addition, rest gives us longevity. Abstinence allows us to disengage from labor. Judaism, the Shabbat is a day for rest, recreation and relaxation. Your spiritual amenity stimulates God play. You get to act like God acts during God play. Sabbath rest, recreation and relaxation puts you at ease. Sabbath rest puts you at ease so much that the amenities of heaven become earthbound. We get to act like God in the playground of Sabbath rest. Corporate worship then become a non judgmental Holy playground. The Holy schoolyard will be redesigned each Sunday to help relieve the the weary laborers. The Holy schoolyard will be redesigned each Sunday to retool laborers for next week. The call to Worship is call to All. Everyone in the divine playground of life get to enjoy God. Like the playground Worship has a lot to offer. Spiritual Playgrounds often also have facilities for playing informal "games" to mature the sons/daughters of God. Discernment gives the leaders the insight to focus on the equipment necessary for maturity, fun and play. Playground Equipment: see-saw, merry-go-round, swingset, slide, jungle gym, chin-up bars, sandbox, spring rider, monkey bars, overhead ladder, trapeze rings, playhouses, and mazes, many of which help children develop physical coordination, strength, and flexibility, as well as providing recreation and enjoyment., playground equipment, swing sets, picnic tables, benches, trash cans, water fountains, ziplines, bike racks, ice rinks, swings or sports equipment. Put on your play clothes. The priestly garments were made of not of cotton because cotton represented labor. The priestly garment were made of linen. Rest may mean a change of clothes from swaddling clothes (holiness) to sparkling raiment(glorified).
Swaddling clothes denotes a wrapping in holiness. This device forms the clothing of the child until it is about a year old, and its omission (Ezek 16.4) would be a token that the child had been abandoned. Mark 9:3and His garments became radiant and exceedingly white, as no launderer on earth can whiten them. Luke 24:4 (New King James Version)4While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men suddenly stood near them in dazzling clothing; Peter and came to the tomb first; Peter and came to the tomb first. 5 And he, stooping down and looking in, saw the linen cloths( linen swathing the dead) lying there; yet he did not go in. 6 Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb; and he saw the linen cloths lying there, 7 and the handkerchief that had been around His head, not lying with the linen cloths, but folded together in a place by itself. Come lets play (enthusiatic worship).....Ho! Everyone that thirst. Ho! Every one who thirsts, come to the waters; And you who have no money come, buy and eat. Come, buy wine and milk Without money and without cost. The ministry of angelic ministry flows during rest. The ministry (to relieve one's necessities (e.g. by collecting alms). of rest relieves us of the necessity to be a workaholic for the kingdom. Their is a Divine Angelic distribution of Alms during rest. Obedience is an entry way to observing the Sabbath. Alms is a gift to those who have served God, the body of Christ, our neighbors, and humanity. God then becomes a servant (to wait at a table and offer food and drink to the guests) waiter to those who have labored in the vineyards. God also serves up a table banquet in the presence of the enemy. Mathew 4:11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him. Well, what is rest? This rest is, a rest of grace, and comfort, and holiness. And a rest in glory, where we get a foretaste of the Glory to come. The people of God shall enjoy the end of their faith, and the object of all their desires.
The soul knows no rest except the soul rest in God
