THE PLACE OF
PERFECT REST
from Yolanda
Ballard
You cannot have
faith without
fellowship. You
cannot make it
on your own.
Draw close and
let us reason it
out together.
Once you have
sought My face,
do not leave My
side when you
receive an
answer. Walk
with Me and talk
with Me in the
cool of the
day. Make it a
life style to
include Me in
everything that
you do. For I
have a part. I
am the air that
you breathe. I
am the reason
that you live so
don't go off on
your own.
Include Me, take
Me along. Seek
My face, and I
will lead you
the way you are
to go.
This seems very
basic, but I
needed to say it
to you. You
might think you
live each day
with Me, but
mostly you are
independent of
Me. I have come
into your life
to show you a
new way to live
so you wouldn't
have to struggle
on your own, but
you have kept
your same
habits. Draw
back and truly
examine your
heart. I know
you have
committed your
life to follow
Me and have
taken Me into
your heart, but
you assume you
are living for
Me, but you
aren't mostly.
Step back and
truly examine
your heart,
those who are so
busy with church
related
activity. Do
you truly have
time to seek My
face and to
commune with Me
resting in My
presence? Or
are you just too
tired to rest
from all the
tasks you assume
are of Me? Step
back and examine
your heart that
if I was leading
you, why would I
cause you to do
that which would
distract you
from coming
before Me?
I want to give
you a type of
respite-----a
time to truly
examine what
takes up all
your time. I
want you to
commit it all to
Me and just
rest. Yes, give
it all up and
let Me help you
start over
prioritizing
those things
that I have
truly ordained
and deleting the
rest. You might
feel that you
are at a place
that you can't
handle, but only
for a moment.
And then you
will thank Me
for helping you
regain momentum
to do the things
most pleasing to
Me. Seek My
face and rest
and let Me
rejuvenate you
in My presence.
Take things slow
and let Me teach
you the way to
go and yes, take
baby steps if
need be.
This is a time
of major warfare
and you cannot
walk in My
victory over the
enemy if you
have your own
agenda. You
need to be
disciplined to
know My voice
and to take My
orders and
follow them.
You are not
falling back by
starting over.
It is most
important that
you do things My
way, and your
most important
ministry is to
Me first.
Worship Me in
the beauty of
holiness, and I
will prepare
your heart to
carry the burden
of the Lord like
you never have
before.
I will fill you
with My
compassion, and
cover you with
My light and
glory. I will
radiate through
you My power
that will repel
all evil against
you. I will
fill you with My
love and power,
but you must
come to the
place of
emptying out so
that I may fill
you to
overflowing.
Joy will reign
in your life,
because of My
will being
fulfilled. It
all begins with
a place of
humility and
coming to
repentance of
your ways of
independence.
Start over, My
people, by
truly seeking My
face and
examining your
heart. Is what
you are doing
bringing glory
to My name? Are
you coming into
a deeper place
of intimacy
because of what
you are doing?
Or is it all
taking you
away? Now is
the time to
decide, who will
you serve. I am
calling you into
true freedom to
release in you
what I have
planted. Be
obedient unto
death and I will
give you a crown
of life.
