Rest in Jesus

Come to Me

We are living days that life is getting harder and harder.
We are having to work harder and more and more but our earnings are getting less and less. The world economy is falling apart. The lords of the world are threatening us with a horrible future.
The god of this century is making people of their desire.
Everybody is struggling to survive, have the latest car, mobiles and computers.
People work harder to get what they want and as soon as they get it a sad reality come to them – it’s gone old… It’s not enough to have that one… The new is old now… the good is bad…
There is no time for family, for leisure time… There is no time for God.
Depression is one of the most common diseases of the moment and more and more people are committing suicide. Why?
We are living the “technology age” where things can be done very fast but instead of having more time relax, it seems that most people have to take their work home.
You can see people using their laptops in trains, airplanes, buses… everywhere.
Slaves … that’s the right word for today. Slaves of desires, addictions, work and diseases.
The devil is making people very busy so that they can not be free to serve and worship the Lord.
Real freedom in to be able to say yes to the Lord.

When someone wakes up and tires to fight for freedom, the devil comes against. The devil tries to endure your life when you wake up to God.
When Moses came into the presence of the Pharaoh and asked him to let the Israelites to go and worship the Lord, instead of letting them go, he gave them more work. Exodus 5:1-6.
When you receive a word from God, the devil will try to keep you very busy, maybe with work…or any other thing that will keep you away from God. The devil doesn’t want you to be free.
Even though the Israelites were slaves in Egypt, they were very used to that life. But when they hard about a new life, about the freedom that God wanted them to have, the devil made their lives harder…
At the verse 9 we read: “Make the work harder – so that they keep working and pay no attention to lies”.
But the word of God is not a lie. It’s the truth… Halleluiah.
Jesus said:”I am the way, the truth and the life”… John 14:6.
He also said: And you will know the truth and the truth will set you free. John 8:32.
The devil is a liar and wants you to believe in his lies – His lies will kill you.
The Bible tells us that he (the devil) came to rob, kill and destroy you. John 10:10.
But you and I can receive life in Jesus Christ – And abundant life.
Are you feeling tired of your life? Nothing is making you satisfied? Does your life seem to be meaningless?
Jesus said: “Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28
This is the promise of the Lord for you and me.
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me… For I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Matthew 11:29.
Medicine can only treat your body, but not your soul. Only Jesus can heal you completely.
Jesus said He is the way, the truth and the way. When we learn from Jesus we learn the truth that set us free.
We are guided to walk in the right way and receive life.
But even when you know the truth that sets you free, the devil will come and try to persuade you to give up what God has promised you and return to slavery. Don’t forget that God’s promise is forever.
The miracle you need that will set you free is here for you today because Jesus is here. He is the same and He hasn’t changed.
Jesus wants you to be happy. John 15:11 – I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.
Invite the Holy Spirit to live in you and you will be guided in all truth – John 16:13
The same power that was working in Jesus life will work in your life.
Don’t accept the lies of the devil that holds you in slavery and prevents you to receive the freedom that there is in Jesus Christ.
Come to me was Jesus words. He’s calling you today. It doesn’t matter how long you have met Jesus… Are you tired? Is your heart troubled? Aren’t you feeling in peace?
Come to Jesus, let yourself be involved by His love. Know Him and you will find rest for your soul. You will be free.
