Stop Striving

The Lord is saying: Come to Me all who are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  Too many of you carry burdens you were not intended to carry.  You strive as if hitting the wind, and I wish that you would quiet yourselves in My presence and put aside your striving and let Me be God to you.  No amount of striving on your part can add to what My son, Jesus, did on the Cross.  He paved the way into My presence – everything else is religion, which is man striving to get to Me.  While I say, Jesus already opened that door.  All you must do is walk through Him into My presence. 

Once you pass the threshold of the Open Door by surrendering your lives to Me, I then can work and move in your life and in your heart.  Hearts of stone are then replaced by hearts of flesh that are moldable for My purposes.  Once you surrender, My Spirit begins to remove all the chaff from your lives; all the wood, hay and stubble of self-righteousness and self-works, and you are then given gold, silver and precious stones that are the works that I lay before you that reach into eternity.  So many people think they need to do this or do that, but My son said, “It is finished!”. 

Stop striving and let My Spirit envelope you.  Let go and let God.  Even when things look bleak, I have never once let you out of the palm of My hand.  I Am trustworthy and you can trust Me to lead you in righteousness in all things.  So, stop striving, and surrender it all to Me.

 

Gal 3:1-14  O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? 2  This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 3  Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? 4  Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain. 5  He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 6  Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. 7  Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. 8  And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. 9  So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. 10  For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. 11  But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. 12  And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them. 13  Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14  That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
