proud 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 lamp, 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

               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 hear
