My soul follows close behind you; and Your right hand upholds me. Psalm 63:8
Dear Friends,
*Kim and I saw the movie, “A Great Awakening”, this week—thanks to our friend Teresa encouraging us to go by gifting us tickets! Thanks, sister! We highly recommend you all see it. A great way to celebrate the 250th! True patriots must remember there would have been no American Revolution without Jesus moving for three decades before 1770! True patriots must now watch, pray, seek Him, and stay thankful! Let us pray, “Arm of the Lord, awaken over the USA! Sweep our land! Do it again!”
*We continue to memorize/pray Psalm 63 each day. Bringing such closeness with Him; such strength from His right hand. Join us.
*“The Sword of the Spirit Homework Challenge” continues to spread! It’s like the Lord is handing us His plan for following CLOSE BEHIND HIM on a silver platter—for the next six months—getting into the habit of following CLOSE BEHIND HIM—for the rest of our lives! Come rest, indeed! Here’s reminder, and our new video on the challenge! He will help you, and so will we! Share your testimonies!
A Word of Counsel heard 4/7/26. We submit it to all the friends of Come Rest.
“Listen to Me. Really listen. Shut out the noise. Tune in to Me. Prepare. Make a list of your 12 favorite scripture passages from over the years between you and Me. Do the work. Make the list. Memorize them over the next six months. Work My words into your prayers and your witness each new day I give you. I will help you. You will become a deeper listener, prayer intercessor, and doer of My word. Are you up to it? I am! I repeat–Listen to Me. Prepare. Do the work. I will help you. It will be worth it. My joy and peace will overflow, no matter what. Those around you will begin to listen, too. I love you so.” (Is 55; Ps 34; John 10 & 15)
