Blog   Trust
To confidently rely upon    
The trust that brings joy, peace and victory in a person's life is based on faith in the finished work of Christ Jesus.   

Trust is not trust if there is a safety net or plan b.   Trust is all-in.   

Jesus came that we can rest in Him.   When we rest we have ceased from our labors.   
Come unto me, all you that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Christ Jesus is our redeemer, our Saviour, our healer, our rest, our victory, our resurrection, our life and our future.     He is Mighty God!     
    We come to Jesus by believing His Words.     
    We receive His rest when we receive His Holy Spirit.     

There is no other name under heaven whereby we may be saved.     

All power in heaven and earth belongs to the One giving this invitation.     

This loving God is the Righteous Judge.     

Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest unto your souls.
The yoke of Christ is the Holy Spirit.     When we receive Christ we are born of the Holy Spirit and become New Creatures In Christ.     The Holy Spirit is our teacher and comforter.     It is in Him that we find rest.

For he that is entered into his rest, he also has ceased from his own works, as the Lord did from his.
We rest from our own works in the finished work of Christ Jesus.

And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
At the time of Jesus` ministry this had not yet been fulfilled.

And such trust have we through Christ toward the Holy Spirit:
We are Christ`s workmanship.     He is the foundation and the Holy Spirit is the glue.

That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
When we are In Christ we bring glory to Him by His glory manifesting in and through us.     To be In Christ is to trust him implicitly.     

Since Jesus is the First Fruit we are to manifest just as He did.     Another way of thinking about this truth is: Since we are Children Of God we are supposed to manifest as gods by the authority of Christ Jesus and the power of His Holy Spirit.     

The New Creature that we are In Christ is as a Son Of The Holy Spirit.     We are no longer merely human.

In whom you also trusted, after that you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that you believed, you were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise,
When we heard the Gospel of Truth we believed it, received it and trusted it.     
In so doing we signed the New Covenant that the Holy Spirit offered to us by the preaching of the Word.     
As a result, we were Born Again and made New Spirit beings In Christ Jesus.     

Our New Spirit is perfect.     
Our sanctification in the New Birth made us eligible to receive the Holy Spirit.     

So, every such Born Again believer who asks for the baptism of the Holy Spirit is filled with Him.     

This baptism of the Holy Spirit is the seal of the New Covenant, He was promised and His presence in us holds promise of power going out of us.     

For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living Holy Spirit, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.
Trusting in the Lord is the evidence of faith.     

This verse equates our Creator with our Saviour, Christ Jesus.

Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living Holy Spirit, who gives us richly all things to enjoy;
Trust in the Lord as provider.
