You wrote, "When you feel something more is needed, and you start looking outside of Him, then you become rest-LESS." Well, this sure is my story- in spite of the fact that I keep recycling back to where I know better. Religion is so deeply ingrained, poison to the soul. A big thank you today to TSOC for helping us in the process of renewing our minds! Such a timely article Entering His Rest was for me today!

He touched me deeply one day, and began to restore my soul. I can’t express the joy and peace I felt as, for 7 sweet years, He took me on a journey through His Word and into His Presence that completely changed my life. Alone with Him. No other “men” to input or give their spin on what I should or should not do…..only Jesus. After SO many years of hungering and thirsting for Him I found HIM, and He BECAME my Rest. I needed no religious “days” or “ceremonies” or “rituals” to bring me into the Eternal Presence, I was there, and am there every moment of the remainder of my life. He TRULY IS my Rest, and I have entered in, today, tomorrow, I can’t worship or praise or love Him any more than at this moment. I have no need for anything else. He is my Life, my All…..Lord of my Sabbath Rest.

Only now do I realize how much of "Self" spoke as the voice of God. I am experiencing that rest. I did not realize how "my plans, ideas, opionions, etc" created such a chaotic state inside my mind and spirit. The awe of His beauty and splendor has captivated me like never before. He reveals my true heart motives and intentions while revealing His holiness and magnificence. Who is this Christ that I am coming to truly know for the first time in my 15 years as a Christian? Even His corrections and chastisement is bathed in His love. Chip, these teachings have been so insightful and humbling. Thank you for being a faithful servant of our most High King.

I felt the same (just different circumstances) Much of what the institutional churches teaches, is to form us into little pharisees .But, Praise God for "continuing" to reveal himself ( truth ) to us . Looking back to those legalistic times and how they had even effected my views of home church , reminded me Of all He has brought us forward from and how much He still has to reveal to us in the future ! ...
