BE STILL/ RESTING IN GOD 2-8-19 VIDEO HEARING GOD'S VOICE NOT

Sabbath-blessing is to off set the curse of working by the sweat of his brow. It was a foreshadow of Jesus who ended the curse and restored mans dominion.



REST-perpetual sabbath "rest" to be enjoyed uninterruptedly by believers in their fellowship with the Father and the Son,



The world is always roaring in our heads especially at this time. There is always a background of panic stress or anxiety. But we need to be still and hear Gods voice. God's voice will take us into places we have never been before.

The word STILL means to be astonished at the sound. Gods voice to Elijah didnt come in anxiety or a loud sound his voice came in stillness. It astonished Elijah and gave him the help and answers he needed

12 And after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire [a sound of gentle stillness and] a still, small voice.
