*Rest, Righteousness and God's Promises*

_Matthew 11:28-30(MSG), 2 Corinthians 1:20a (NLT)_

_*"Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a reaI rest. WaIk with me and work with me -watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't Iay any thing heavy or ill-fltting on you. Keep company with me and you'II learn to live freely and lightly." *For alI of God's promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding "yes!" ..._

Your understanding and acceptance of the rest and righteousness that Christ has provided for you will make you enter and experience the power, promises and blessings of God in your life. Jesus did not come down to this earth, to live, suffer and die on the Cross for you in vain. You are the joy that was set before Him as He did all this. As you put your faith in what He has done for you, you will experience the power, blessings and promises of God.

The real work that God wants you to do to experience His promises is to believe in what Jesus has done for you. John 6:28-29 (NlV) says, “Then they asked him, "What must we do to do the works God requires?" Jesus answered, "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent."That is why you are called a believer. When you believe, the power of God manifests in your life. That is why I always say when you believe it you will become it. It was by the righteousness of faith that Abraham inherited the promises of God not by trying to keep the law, Rom.4:13. If you believe, you will see the glory of God, John 11:40. It is believing in what Jesus has done for you that even makes you live right. Believe thal because of Jesus, God is at work in you, making you willing and ablelo do His good will, Phil. 2:12-13.Hebrews 10:14 (LB) says, “For by that one offering he made forever perfect in the sight of God all those whom he is making holy”. Start seeing yourself blessed, healed, anointed and receiving your desires all because you believe in Jesus.

Faith Declatation:
I believe in all that Jesus has done for me. I receive the power, blessings and promises of God in my life right now.
