As it happens today, my Father is telling me to REST.
I want you to gravitate to that word, because it will describe EVERYTHING to you.
I know that doing this strikes men with FEAR. Atleast it does me. But did you know what? He is boasting about you in Heaven for confessing Him before man! This is all about my wedding. I am compelled to preach the gospel. My conscience within me flutters at the opportunity to confess Him before men. This is the honest truth! My conscience knows when I want to give God the glory for what He has done. This is preaching!
In fact, the ones that I am compelled to preach to, are the ones that don't know, and have never heard. This I imagine has something to do with a pure conscience.
I find my conscience within me saying "I do not want to resort to my own ways, and behaviors" Where this comes from is a round-about statement. I already gave you the answer, that I am compelled to make known what God is doing.
If you have ever felt what your conscience is speaking to you, I am sure you understand.
The point of this all is this. God told me to REST. He even threatened me with this: "If you do not rest, You will stop me from achieving what I am wanting to do in You" That was enough for me.
Only someone that is alive can REST. When we are alive you know it, because you are MOVING! More accurately, You know the truth in Your conscience. You know there must only be one way to be Alive, because you are now alive, and before you were not. I also theorize, to be ALIVE, is to be whole-hearted. There is a church that Jesus sent a letter to that were not alive. In fact, they were dead, compromised and failing in a mandate that He gave them, in all of this he rounds up with a statement about confessing Himself before Men.
The word for REST is also glory. Now there is one who the Spirit of God rested on. (This means, to fully dwell in, at home) But all we can do is BE RESTED. One rest began when you confessed that Jesus is Your Lord. The second rest has to do with choosing to be whole-hearted.

Here is a song I came up with today.
It has inspiration from Isaiah 53 and Isaiah 55
I need to say something about the song before you go listen to it.
He has shared his whole heart with you through Jesus. He wants you to be whole-hearted to Him. Abandon yourself completely to himself. Don't look to the things he can do for you before running to Him, it may be too late (Isaiah 55:6)

Lyrics
The roses hue is
whiter
The birds song is
clearer
The trees fall is
sweeter
When you are nearer
The fields they are
pleasing
The garden breathes in
deeper
Awake my soul and
start singing
He has come to me
Wash over me with your
blood
let me into the
fullness of what you made for me
I will wait for You
And in Your love there
will be brighter sunshines
And in Your joy there
will be sweeter sorrows
I've made up my mind
Turn my pain and loss
into love without cost
that I may be found in
You
Man has not seen what
is His store
I am waiting on the
other side
Take me by the hand
and let me soar!
