"Got Rest?"

True rest does not come from having a vacation. Many times we try doing so many things to try and get rest. We take 2 weeks off, but when we get back, we need a vacation from our vacation. We try to sit quit for awhile. We try to get a massage and many other things. But after all the things we try, we are still tired.

But true rest only comes as we place our faith in what Jesus did at the Cross daily. Just as when we got saved and we trusted the message of the Cross and believed that is the only true rest!

Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Heavy laden means over burden with ceremony. We want to do things to get the rest we need. We try to do things to get what we think God has for us. We work as Martha did. But it is the work for the Lord. But we need to sit at His feet and hear His voice. We need to trust Him that as we do take the time to spend with Him all the other things and work that needs to be done, He will give us strength.

You only get “burned out” when you trust yourself and you get your eyes off the one who gives you rest. You changed your focus from Jesus to what you are doing.

Matthew 11:28-29Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

Learn of Me! Learn of Me! Learn of Me!

He will give you rest as you come unto Him. You shall find rest as you learn of Him continually.

May you come unto Him, but may you learn of Him, and stay there. This world has nothing to offer. All that they try to do to give a person rest has no lasting value. Taking a vacation will not work. The problems will still be there when you get back.

Jesus says, “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”

Find true rest today. Are you already saved and do not have rest, the answer is the same!!!!

The Psychological Way or The Way Of The Cross ? by Len Paxton

Which will you choose. You cannot have both. They are tremendously opposed to each other. You will have to choose which worldview you will hold to.

In this blog, I am not going to attempt to give you the history of modern day psychology. I am simply going to highlight some of the contrasts between these two divergent paths; The psychological way vs The Way Of The Cross. Modern day psychotherapy has its roots in atheism, evolution, and humanism. Sadly, most denominations in modern Christianity have opted for the psychological way and have cast aside the way of the Cross.

The Bible holds ALL the answers of human behavior 2Peter 1:3
Psychology also claims to hold all the answers of human behavior.
The Bible tells us that man is an eternal soul St John 3:16
Psychology has as its foundation, evolution.
The Bible says that man is a sinner Romans 3:23
Psychology says that man is a victim.

The Bible says that the problem of man is an evil heart (Jer. 17:9) and that man is inherently evil.
Psychology says that the problem is man's environment and man is inherently good.
The Message of the Cross treats the very depths; the very core of man's problem, the heart. (Ez. 36:26-27, Eph 3:17, etc....)
Psychology treats only mans symptoms.
The Bible says that Jesus Christ is the answer (St. Matt. 11: 28-30)
Psychology says that therapy and "professional help" is the answer. Most psychology "professionals" will denigrate Faith and say that the minister of the Gospel is not qualified to help humanity.

The Bible tells us to deny self and crucify the flesh ( Matt. 16:24, Gal. 5:24).
Psychology says we should love "self" and pamper "flesh".
The Bible directs us to the Cross, which assures us the help of the Holy Spirit.
Psychology directs us to the flesh.
The Bible directs us to Faith in God (Mark 11:22).
Psychology directs us to self effort.
Self cannot improve upon self. Remember that.

The Word of God, The Bible, Leads us into repentance (Acts 26:20) and restoration (Gal 6:1).
Psychology offers only remorse and referral.
The Bible IS TRUTH....
Psychology is mere, mortal, flawed mans opinions.
The Bible says that God's truth is unchangeable (Psalm 119:89).
Psychology says that truth is determined by the majority and by culture.

There are many, many more contrasts that I could list for you but the bottom line is this; One simply cannot believe in the Bible and the message of the Cross; at least not as one ought, and also believe in psychology. It can't be done.
If you as a believer put your trust in anything other than Christ and Him Crucified, no matter how well intentioned, you are committing spiritual adultery. Rom 7.

Psychology puts man as the center of all things. Our Faith, from the Bible, puts Christ as the center and the ONLY answer for man. The two cannot be joined. Preachers of the Gospel who attempt to join the two will help no one. The only true help that is available is found in the word of God which is The Message Of The Cross....

"Forgiveness" By Len Paxton

"WOMEN BEWARE"

I was listening to Perry Stone last night and he talked about what women need to beware of in the last days. There were three things he talked about and this note is my way of sharing them with you. Women really need to be watchful of how they go through life. We are an influence to so many people. Lets be the right type of influence. Here is the three things we need to stay away from.

1) Manipulation - to manage or handle with art or skill; to manage skillfully. To change others by artful or unfair means so as to serve one’s purpose.

This is not just a one time thing. The only way to be skillful is to practice. To do something over and over. This is something that you do many times. Also, you study it from others. You master it.

You may have women in your family or in your circle of influence, beware. Manipulation is a powerful thing.

One way women influence others is by using her body. They use sex or their looks to make a man do what they want him to do. They do it to get things they want.

Manipulation includes mind control. Women use words to control others. They try to put fear or try to place guilt on someone to make them do something. A lot of times this can be done by bringing up one’s past sins, to use it against them.

So beware you don’t become one of these women and that you stay away from women like this.

Example in the bible: Delilah, Judges 16


2) Domination - to rule or control, to exercise of mastery or ruling power, governing, or controlling influence

Women beware you do not try to control another person. You are not the ruler of anyone. Do not try to lord over others. When women do this it is for their own gain. They want something and they control others or rule over other to get what they want.

Domination is one setting themselves up as God to rule over someone. These people use their power to control another person. This kind of person also uses manipulation & intimidation. They lord over another to get what they want.


Beware women that you stay submissive to God and the control of the Holy Spirit in your life. Do not allow the spirit of domination to come in.

Example in the bible: Herodias, Matt. 14

3) Intimidation - to make one timid; fill them with fear, to make fearful, to compel or deter by or as if by threats, to frighten into submission, inducing fear or a sense of inferiority into another, reduction to a state where the spirit is broken or all courage is lost.

This type of person will use all three: Manipulation, Domination, and Intimidation.

Beware women you do not put fear on another to get where you want in life. You have no business having anything to do with fear! You are to uplift people, not make them feel inferior to you.

Words can be so powerful, choose them carefully. Words can be used to give threats or can be used to make someone submit to your desires.

This person will use fear to force another person to do something or not to do something. Fear is powerful.


Example: 1 Kings 19


To overcome all of these:

First, you must stay in the Bible and learn what the bible say about who you are in Christ. Read it, study it, memorize it. Humble yourself and stay submissive to God and the leading of the Holy Spirit.

Second, keep your eyes on what Jesus did for you at Calvary. Only doing this will help you. You can not do anything on your own. You need the cleansing power of Christ and the help of the Holy Spirit, which you will get as you place your faith in what Jesus did.

Third, refuse the counsel of the world. Psalm 1:1-2 "Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord and in His law does he meditate day and night."

Everyday we are bombarded with ungodly counsel. Radio, TV, Friends, Family, etc... We can accept the counsel and encouragement of Godly friends and family. We are to help one other and encourage one another.

Last, decide that you will not allow these types of people to influence your life. And that you will not use these three ways to be a part of your life. It is very important that in these last days we protect ourselves from all attacks of the enemy. We do not want to be used by the enemy!! If you see yourself using Manipulation, Domination, & Intimidation, Beware! Resist it. Do not allow yourself to be as those of the world. Women of the world do not think twice about using these things to get what they want. We are not of this world. We will not compromise. We will be controlled and led by the Spirit of God!!!!
