a season of transformations, a seasonof deliverance. It's been so powerful,
but I want to repent because theLord never told me to quit. He

(02:35):

the Lord, and so I askedthat you would forgive me as we continue

get into today's episode. The topicfor today is rest and work. I

(04:15):
want us to start by inviting theHoly Spirit into our environment as we continue
in the embodiment of the Holy Ghost. We welcome you, Holy Spirit.
We welcome you, Holy Spirit,Come have your way. The scripture from

(04:44):
today for today is Romans one,verse nine, and it reads, I
serve God in my spirit by preachingthe good news about God's Son, and
God is my witness that I unceasinglyI continually make witness of you. The

(05:13):
first part of this scripture is sayingI serve in my spirit God, and
as I rest that the Lord issaying that as you rest in the Lord,
that is where you work from.I believe He's wanting to get a

(05:38):
lot of us out of working fromflesh and into working out of a spirit
of resilience in the Holy the Holyforce of God, the Holy force of
the Spirit of the Living God.I want you to repeat after me,

(06:02):
God, I will rest in youwhile I accomplish your work. I serve
the Lord in my spirit. Hallelujah, Thank you, Jesus, Thank you,

(06:29):
Jesus, Thank you, Jesus.The Lord is wanting to get us
out of a rabbit hole race ofworking the way that we have been working.

(06:50):
He wants us to begin to relyonly on the Holy Spirit, working
spirit to spirit in conjunction with theHoly Spirit. Will you accept that call
today? Hallelujah? Will you acceptthe call that God is calling you to

(07:15):
make today to only work from aplace that is from the servitude of your
spirit, the pure place that youknow, and say, God, I
am only coming to you because Iknow that I'm not doing it to get

(07:39):
your affection. I'm not doing itto grow my ministry. I'm doing it
out of my heart, out ofmy spirit. To serve the Living God.
I want you to begin to declareout of your mouth today, nation,

(08:00):
family, I will serve the Lordout of my spirit. I will
serve the Lord out of my spirit, just as Paul said in Romans Won
Night for God, whom I servein my spirit by the preaching of the

(08:22):
good news about God's Son. Iwant you to begin to declare, what
are you serving the Lord? InPluda as we end a year in the
beginning New Year, even though theJewish year has already begun, what are
you serving the Lord? There isa work, there was an appointment,

(08:48):
there was a calling in Paul says, I don't do it alone. I
serve in my spirit. Call Luia, begin to spend time with the Lord.
Rededicate your hands, your hearts.If you previously were working to achieve

(09:16):
something, to earn the love ofGod, I want you to reddicate yourself
right now. Lord, I willcome into being who you want and designed

(09:52):
me to be only while I restsay that with me affirmation and family.
Lord, I will come into beingwho you want and designed me to be
only only while I rest. Iwill not work out of abandonment. I

(10:22):
will not work out of rejection,but I will work from love. Come
on, whatever that is for you. I will not work out of stress.
I will not work out of tiredness. I will work from love.
I will rest and work as God. Thank you Jesus say this with me.

(10:50):
Lord, you recognize and saved andcalled me. Now I am yours,
and in return I rest. Irest. I will not work out

(11:15):
of my own strength and ideas.I will not work out of my own
strength. I work from an identityof purpose, of calling and strength found
in you. Lord. I restin you, and I will work only

(11:43):
from your rest. The Lord,I sit the son of Jesus Christ,
so that you would receive the rest. Today the world is running around.
That's one of the things the Lordspoke and spoke to me and differentiated in

(12:03):
the season. This past season I'vebeen in is look at the world,
and then look at what I'm sendingyou into. Because Body of Christ,
there's so much mixture. The Churchbelieves that we are bhy and we need
to emulate the world to be successful. We need the strategies of the world.

(12:24):
We need to be staying up allnight, we need to be trying
to do fifty million things at onetime and ignoring the one call of God
upon our lives. When God hasspoken something very specific and he's calling us
to rest in the Lord Romans onenine. I'll read our scripture for today
one more time. It says Iserve God in my spirits. I serve

(12:54):
God in my spirits by this isfor you? What is it for you?
What is the call for you?But Paul says, by preaching,
because that's what he's called me.He captured me and he changed my life,

(13:15):
and now I'm serving God. Whatis he doing in your life?
Family? Wow? Did he transformyou? Family? Because Paul said,
since he captured me and since hesaved me, I am serving the Lord.
My spirit shall serve the Lord bypreaching the good news about God's Son.

(13:41):
And God is my witness that Icontinually mention you. Allelujah, Thank
you, Lord, thank us.I just want you to begin to praise

(14:16):
the Lord as we enter into anew week. As God has revived me,
I know He is doing something inyou. As God is making this
broadcast go all around the world,I'm sure He is doing something on the
inside of you. If you havereached the end of this broadcast, I

(14:37):
believe it was a blessing. Ipray that if you're listening on Apple Podcasts
or on Spotify great affirmation media,and then share it with someone. We
