ECHOES OF HIS SPIRIT

The Word and Prayer,  These are the Believer's weapons... Jesus said in Matt 11:29-" Take my yoke upon you, learn of me,  for I am meek and lowly in heart,  and you will find rest for your soul".

I believe you should know that Rest- outside the context of salvation- is not a break from our labour in ministry, academics, business, your secular life in general, but "labour according to that which Christ lavishly supplies through Grace" (1Peter4:11). If John said of "His Fullness...
