Pff… I’m desperate to see a change.
Thank you,
I really need to truly learn the practice of this. I am sinking… (some times more than others) because I’m too used to working in a different way than this good way, when I’m dealing with bad things that fall on me.

I came to this email first this morning because the Word “rest” was in the title. My circumstances, which have been ongoing for years now, are so, so difficult. I find that because I am unable to change anything and I feel hemmed in by God that I can’t rest in His presence or really rest at all. I keep trying every form of begging and actual attempts at manipulation to convince the Lord to move in my situation. Every time I see the Word test I am prompted to see further what is written. Faith here is insisting I show myself true by testing regardless of how people and my flesh and of course my enemy is screaming that I take action. I am so blessed by this ministry. Thank you Chip.

In reply to Nancy. I agree Nancy the Joy of Christ truly is our Strength. I am also at a place where nothing matters but Christ I trust Him with each minute of each day. More of Christ and less of me Each day in Christ is so refreshing for He is with us to the very end. He will never leave us nor forsake us.

In reply to Deb. They may want you there, but that doesn't mean the Lord wants you there. You may find this helpful.

Dear Chip, Thank you for this message. I have not been to organized church in over 3 month because I have been ill and I feel such guilt that I am disappointing the Lord by not being there. The small fellowship wants me to return because they say that is where the Lord wants me but I’m confused about returning. I do love the wonderful Christians there and they have given me such love and acceptance and tell me that the bible tells us to fellowship with each other. Kind of confused at this point in my life.

I caught some illumination here! Rest is the gift of God. No one else can give me this rest, and I can’t earn this rest either. State of restfulness is the state of ‘No longer I, but Christ!’
I truly entered His banquetting hall and I’m truly refreshed!

Chip, Peace be unto you! I appreciate the concept of having “retired” from trying to be my own savior, It is no longer I, but Christ. and the life that I now live I live by the faith of Him who loved me and gave Himself for me. Retirement from sin, self, and satan. How great can it get?

Hello Chip: The truth in your words have brought encouragment and confirmation to both my husband and myself.

I have been very blessed in having that understanding of resting and abiding in CHRIST. It is amazing and fulfilling, nothing like it. A place of peace and refreshment.

A place where I can minister to God and in return the word opens up and becomes alive. It feeds me.

What a place. The more we abide in this place the less friends we seem to have. And yet the joy within me is my strength. My husband and I become more in tune and in return we are able to see the plans of God unfolding before our eyes. What a feast.

When one can realize that the “things” of this world do not compare to the love of Christ, that He will never leave you life begins to have meaning.

Burdens are broken off of you. What a joy.
