My Thoughts Wesley Crawford

Is He Enough?

Is Yeshua enough for us, is His sacrifice enough for us? Can we live with nothing, stripped of everything and just depend of what He's already done?

What has He done? In our eyes, what has He done? Are we aware, do we know, do we see? What is the value of His sacrifice, to us? How is it visible in our lives? We have knowledge, in our minds of what He's done, but we don't have experiential knowledge, we're not walking like we know what He's done.

Our spirits have been reborn by His Spirit, we are saved. Through salvation we have redemption to the Father, who is now our Father. We have healing, we are freed from oppression and every wicked thing, but is it obvious by our fruit? We have physical healing, but where's the fruit of that? Why are we still walking around sick or crippled or afflicted,  in so many ways. Don't we trust Him? Don't we trust His Word?

He said through His Word that we are to preach the gospel to all, to disciple nations. We are to speak His Word with boldness, followed by signs and wonders. Why isn't this happening. Though we are saved, we are still feeding from the fruit of the wrong tree, the tree of knowledge. The OT is the law and we see this, we say we are saved by grace and this is true. We say we are led by the Spirit and this is true in a measure, but we're still trying to conform to the law. We still measure ourselves to the law and this leads to death.

We must quit doing what we think we should do. We must quit trying to do anything. Yeshua said, deny yourselves, pick up your cross, and follow Him. These are simple instructions, but we aren't doing it. Maybe we should quit trying to force things to happen, maybe we should learn to rest in Him. Too many times, in church or around others, our egos take control and we have to put on a show to one degree or another. Why? Because we are so bound by fear and competetiveness that we can't just follow.

We've learned many wrong things, from so many people, just by example. Just by watching, these are things we've picked up with our subconcious. We need to quit what we're doing that's wrong and just rest in the Lord.

We are seated with the Messiah, at the right Hand of the God. Why don't we start by learning to be where we already are. Let's sit with and rest in Yeshua for awhile. He'll tell us what to do next.

So, how do we rest in the Messiah? To begin with, we must learn to trust Him. We need to believe that what's He's done is enough, that we are in Him and above every evil thing that exists. This is a good place to start.

What do you think? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

God Bless
