“Rest”

Often we say things like, “I’m getting away for a few days of rest.” Then while gone you do everything but rest and come back home just as tired as you were before you left. But when you truly rest (and I don’t mean sleep all day) your mind becomes clear. You start to hear God clearly.

Recently I went away for a true rest and this is what I learned.

“I have the mind of Christ.”

The Holy Spirit uses the Word of God to rebuild and transform our minds. Satan plants LIES and evil thoughts to turn us from truth. Our battle is for the mind.

So we must recognize the lies of the enemy, rebuke them and then replace them with the truth of God’s Word.

1 Peter 1:13

Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ

Isaiah 26:3

You will keep him in perfect peace,

Whose mind is stayed on You,

Because he trusts in You.

Yours for revival,

Pastor Francis Armstrong
