Because You have been my help, therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice. Psalm 63:7
Dear Friends,
We continue to memorize/pray Psalm 63 AND “The Sword of the Spirit Homework Challenge” is really catching fire! It’s proving to be such wise, encouraging, and joyful counsel for so many already. He’s helping us all look back to see how He has helped us through His word so we can joyfully prepare in these next six months for what He’s bringing to all our lives beyond! In case you missed this challenge last week, here’s reminder, and our new video on it! If you accept this, He will help you, and so will we! Let us know and we will pray for you over the next six months. Share testimonies if you feel so led!
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)
