Laboring Into Rest: From backsliding whore to a heart of obedience

So tonight was quiet interesting. Instead of practicing for our competition tomorrow, we ended up praying… And I prayed what was on my heart… namely that everything is #&$@!* in comparison to what the Father wants… including salsa dancing, which has everything to do with my flesh, and besides my guilty conscious, has nothing to do with glorifying God or being completely satisfied in Him. Who’s going to care in heaven and in hell if we come in first tomorrow or if we’re eliminated? It’s not going to matter.

It’s not going to matter at all.

Also, it was again pointed out to me that bearing fruit has not been happening in my life because I’m not connected to the Source in anything that I do lately here.

God… save me from myself.

All in all, I’ve got two things from tonight that I want to remember… the two things that God is teaching me now:

1. Obedience is key
2. I must labor into rest (Hebrews 4:11)

Hebrews 4:9-16
9. There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. 10. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. 11. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. 12. For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. 14. Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. 15. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16. Let us
therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

So probably my favorite section of Scripture for a good while from now on…. Thank you Holy Spirit for putting it on my heart.
