fruitfulness necessary to bring heaven to earth. Our work must be based
on the revelation that has been downloaded to us in the secret place.
Jesus said, “I will build My Church,” and He does that by working
through us. The work of the Kingdom is from a place of rest. As we
fully surrender to God, it means that we are available to be used—or
even not be used—whenever or wherever, as the case may be. In any
event, our works are to be fully directed by the Holy Spirit and from a
place of ease.
When we move from spiritually led works to dead works of the flesh,
signified by working in the sun, it certainly leaves its mark on us. We
become irritable, tired—even to the point of suffering total burnout on
occasion. This is not God’s intention for us. It never was. His yoke is
light.
Moving on, notice how the term “step-brothers” is used in this
particular translation. This is because these relatives share the same
father but different mothers. In Galatians 4:21-31 (well worth reading),
we are told how Abraham had two sons: one by the slave woman
(representing a work of the flesh) and one by the free woman
(representing a work of the Spirit). His son by the slave woman was
born due to Sarah—having received a promise that she and Abraham
would have a son—naively taking it upon herself to help God out!
