The
Lord is saying: Be at peace. I have commissioned you to break
down and to build up. The breaking down is as important as the
building up. How can you build on a foundation that is cracked
and broken. Clear up the rubbish, plough up the fallow ground,
and then you can build, and then you can sow. I am behind all
that is happening do not lose heart for I have the blueprint for
the building. I have a plan that is good and I can see the finished
product, but you are looking at the rubble. Continue to clear
the rubbish, continue to plough.
You've already got it.

I
pray that we will all get the full revelation of this. THE FINISHED
WORK....ENTERING INTO GOD'S REST...
We've
stopped looking for the Messiah because we've already found Him,
now are we going to stop toiling for all the other things that
come with Him? We need just to ask him what we need to do in faith
to see the manifestation of what we already have. The little boy
gave what he got;seven loaves and a few fishes. The woman grabbed
the hem of His garment. The woman of Zarephath baked a cake for
Elijah and her pots of oil and flour never ran out. Faith that
believes "Its already yours" requires an action to reach
out and get what belongs to you.
When
I first heard this teaching from Andrew Wommack, I remember hearing
him say something like "You already have it, now ask God
where it is and how to get it"
I had to find about £500 for student fees and was very concerned
because I had no way of finding this money naturally speaking.
I decided to try what Andrew had suggested.. I asked God where
this £500 was and how to get it. Straight away I heard in
my spirit to ring up the student fee organisation and explain
the situation. They told me that I was entitled to have this fee
paid for me, by the government. If I hadn't asked the Father to
show me how to get what I already had, I would have gone ahead
and struggled to pay this money.!!! Thats what can happen if we
don't understand we HAVE ALREADY GOT IT. Only God knows where
the provision is, we must not make the mistake of presuming or
trying to control by thinking that there is a particular person
who must give it to us. Its always a gift from God with no sorrow
attached to it.
JESUS HAS ARRIVED AND WITH HIM ALL THINGS THAT WE NEED. Yes as
they travelled with Jesus they never needed to worry how they
would be fed. In Him was everything that they would ever need.
And He's the same now. He has promised to never leave us nor forsake
us. Its easy to be content with what you have when you realise
you have all you will ever need, in that eternal now, walking
with Christ
Let
your conversation be without covetousness; ...and be content with
such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee,
nor forsake thee. Hebrews 13:5
But
seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all
these things shall be added unto you.
Matthew
6:33
We
toil so hard to get a crumb when there is a much easier way. Peter
lay down his nets and followed Jesus. He saw in Jesus something
so wonderful it was worth giving up everything for. Perhaps we
need to lay down our own agendas, leave our nets of strife and
toil, and step out in faith and follow Him.
Simon,
who is called Peter, was a fisherman. Simon Peter and Andrew,
his brother were fishing by the Sea of Galilee when Jesus called
them to be fishers of men. They left their nets, and followed
Jesus. (Matthew 10:2; Mark 3:16).
1 Cor.3.21. Wherefore let no one glory
in men. For all things are yours;
We
never need to look at someone and wish we had what they have,
for ALL THINGS belong to us in Christ.
Over
the next few days we will look into more depth at ....

IN TO THE FINISHED WORK (THE REST OF GOD)
