Anointing for rest 1


“Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the Lord's hand double for all her sins.” Isaiah 40:2
“When a man's ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.” Proverbs 16:7

If you have had to fight all the time to get a little breakthrough this message will change your life.

First you must know and believe that there is a place of rest in this tempestuous world. Your family foundation does not matter, you don’t have to fight all the time, you must connect to the anointing that brings rest in the midst of life’s battles. God told David in 1 Chronicles 22:9, “Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about: for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his days.”

Secondly you must know that this rest is only available in God. If you want it, your way must please the Lord. You must be willing to do whatever God tells you. You must stay where He wants you to stay and act on all His instructions for your life. 

Lastly you must ask God to anointing you for rest. This anointing compels your enemies to be at peace with you. Laban was prevented from doing any harm to Jacob (Genesis 31:24). Esau who was coming with four hundred soldiers to attack Jacob changed his mind and made peace him (Genesis 33:1). Jacob prayed in Genesis 32:11,” Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, and the mother with the children.”

Hear the word from the Lord: your battles are over, your sins are forgiven in Jesus name.
Prayer for today: O God, anoint me for rest in the midst of life’s battles in Jesus name.
