provision to make this Bible live. If you just study the Bible to
know the Bible, you are going to become more proud than ever
before because knowledge puffs up. You study the Bible to know
Jesus through the indispensable principle. You trust the Holy
Spirit to show you Christ.

Just before Peter died he looked back thirty years and
said, “I’ve learned the secret. It’s not only the prophetic word
but the prophetic word made sure in a present revelation.” That’s
a foundation, just like faith is a foundation. We need to see Jesus
by God’s revelation. Don’t go around judging those who just
have the light, the prophetic word. But you get alone with the
Lord and pay attention until you see Christ. That will be a
transfiguration for you.

Our Father, thank You that You gave us the Holy Spirit
to unveil the Lord Jesus through the Bible, that we might know
You. Help us, Lord, to pay attention to that book until the Day
Star rises in our heart. Make the prophetic word more sure by a
present revelation of our dear Lord Jesus. We ask in Jesus’ name.
Amen

4 REST

WHAT I LONG TO COMMUNICATE IN MY

MESSAGE ON REST

I desire to show how rest is being totally satisfied with everything
that satisfies God. This includes His satisfaction with the finished
work of creation, His satisfaction with the finished work of
redemption and His satisfaction with His unfinished work in our
hearts as He conforms us to Christ. The fruit of rest is peace and
that results when we rest in His satisfaction with all the works of
His hands and heart.
