A Message of Gods Rest at the Grocery Store
and These Things Will Be Added to You
Matthew 6:33
But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness,
and all these things will be added unto you.
Today I went to the grocery store early. I was determined to take my shopping list and go to the places I needed to go and come back home. Shopping is not one of my favorite things to do. Today, as I was looking for a check-out I realized the store only had one cashier while everyone else was using self-scan. As I looked at the self-scan I noticed a man needed help from the cashier and had both of his hands waving up in the air to notify the cashier. Interestingly, the only self-scan that was available was next to the man in need of help.
As I walked over and started scanning my groceries the man turned to me and said, "Am I the only one who talks to the machine when it speaks to me?" Of course, I said nothing in return as I was too busy trying to self-scan my groceries. Oddly, when I fully checked out and began to walk outside towards my car the man parked next to me and we were both unloading our groceries.
The man looked to me and said, "You know they are saying because of the virus we should stock up for the fall months." As I continued to unload the groceries into the trunk of my car I replied to the man, "Who is they that say we need to stock up and prepare?" The man never answered and answered said, "Well it is the end of summer and we need to be ready. I am not a hoarder but at least I am going to try to stock up and be ready."
As I continued to load my groceries the man looked at me for a response, so I did. I said, "I live by the rule of the kingdom of God and my word tells me He cares for the sparrow He will care for me." The man replied, "Well, I use being prepared to witness to others." I replied, "The greatest way to prepare is live a life of God's Rest." The man smiled and was stunned. Holy Spirit nudged me to tell the man how I died in October of 2019 and was taken before the Throne by two angels, and how the Father gave me a choice to come back or stay. I proceeded to tell the man how I told the Father I would come back to the earth because His people do not know His Rest, and how He spoke to me well done and called me daughter.
The man smiled and said, "There are two types of Rest. The first Rest is being prepared on earth. The second Rest is Spiritual." I replied and said, "When we walk in God's Rest everything on earth will be added unto us because this is the rule of the kingdom." The man said, "I have made Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior but I have not come to that point yet in my life. I have had God heal me in my body but I have not reached that place of Rest yet."
In my response I told the man, "You have not Rest because you were never told, you were never taught the finished works of the cross." As I proceeded to tell the man his phone rang and his wife was at the Dr's office across the street to tell him she was ready for him to come and get her. Immediately the man told me he needed to go and told me to have a nice day.
As we pushed our carts to the cart rack he offered to push mine for me. I told him I would walk with him, and thanked him for his kindness to push my cart. There I told the man I enjoyed our time together and as he goes his way to know that "God's Rest is living life in the kingdom first, and everything else will be added unto us."
In closing, we must understand most of those who profess Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior have not heard the "Entire message of the cross." We profess Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior yet fail to recognize that we have died with Christ, risen with Christ and positioned in Christ to be one with the Father and born of Him. Jesus is the Door-Life for the Father to come through and enter in to each of our hearts to be made one with Him. It is in this vital finished works of the cross, that the Father quickened us and made us alive by His Spirit through Christ.
While many are saying this is the "Great Awakening" we must realize a soul cannot awake unless it first choose as an act of their will that the Father came through the finished works of Jesus on the Cross as their Door -Life; as the Way; the Truth to be one with every heart to be made alive. It is there we live and have our being.
Confession:
Father today I choose as an act of my will to acknowledge my position of being one with You through the finished works of Christ Jesus on the cross. There, I give praise that You joined me together with You, and breathed into me Your Life by Your Spirit giving me all Your ability to live Life in the fullness of Your Blessing as a disciple of the Holy Spirit and Your Word. In Jesus name. Amen.
