God Speaks About The Sabbath
2/24/05 From The Lord, Our God and Savior
The Word of The Lord Spoken to Timothy
For Timothy, and For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear
Thus says The Lord to His servant: Timothy, concerning the Sabbath, the seventh day of each week, Saturday is the day you shall remember and keep holy. Yes, you shall keep it holy and rest. You shall do no work on this day, neither shall your wife or children, nor any guest in your house,[1] save that which is needful for your household. You may also do those things which are good and fruitful in My eyes, according to that which I command you. Yet from doing your own pleasure depart and from your own works rest, on the Sabbath day; walk not in your own way, Timothy, but walk with Me in Mine. Rest in Me, and remember. For in this you honor Me and shall surely be blessed.[2]
Therefore, this is what I command you: You shall be prepared for the Sabbath by sunset on the sixth day, ceasing from all your works as I have commanded you. You shall remember and honor the Sabbath;[3] from sunset to sunset, you shall rest and be at peace. For the time is coming when none shall have peace, when no one will be able to work.[4] Yet you, Timothy, shall work. In the midst of deep darkness you shall serve, and in you shall I shine bright, for I have set you up as a lampstand for My people. And in the day I send you, you shall become a beacon.
Therefore, Timothy, cherish the Sabbath. Pray and give worship, offer up thanksgiving in My name. Be refreshed and washed in The Word, renewed in the presence of God. And when others draw near, speak to them also; yea, testify of My Passion on the Sabbath day. Share My Word and My love and blow this Trumpet, for My Kingdom comes. Yes even on the Sabbath, and in the Day of The Lord, shall you walk in the office for which you are called. For I am also The Lord of the Sabbath;[5] behold, I am Lord over all the earth![6] Then shall the New Day come, and if you are able to receive it, it is the seventh, The Sabbath of The Lord, wherein the whole world shall rest from its evil ways.
Indeed, many things shall be put to rest
In The Lord’s Day, even death and the grave;
Destruction shall have no place,
And evil shall be far removed...
For as it is written:
They shall not hurt nor destroy in all
My Holy Mountain, for the earth shall be
Full of the knowledge of The Lord
As the waters cover the sea[7]...
Therefore, beloved ones, pray always
That you are counted worthy[8] to
Enter My rest,[9] that you may abide
In the presence of The Lord, forever.
Thus those who remember the Sabbath honor Me, and those who rest on the Sabbath rest in Me, as they look to the Day. For I had set the seventh day apart, and sanctified it, from the beginning.[10] Thus it has been a sign between Me and My people, even to this day, and so shall it remain forever. For as I spoke to the children of Israel, saying, “Surely My Sabbaths you shall keep, for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am The Lord who sanctifies you,”[11] so also do I speak to you, even to all who are grafted in. For those who obey My Commandments remain in My love,[12] and those who remember My Sabbaths keep My company, for The Holy One of Israel dwells in the midst of them. For I long for My children to be with Me where I am, I am eager to return them to the Garden, that we may once again walk together in the cool of the day.[13]
Therefore remember the Sabbath, and I shall remember you. Bless the Sabbath, and I shall bless you. Love one another, as I have loved you. Put away your works, look not to the cares of this world, and let go of your worries on the Sabbath day; spare yourselves the weight of all these troubles for just one day. Let all your thoughts dwell upon your God and Savior, and consider; yea, let your mind be filled with wonder and awe over the works of My hands. For even The Lord your God, Creator of Heaven and Earth, rested on the seventh day.[14]
So then bear your cross six days, and let The Lord carry it on the seventh. Rejoice and be merry, for this is My will for you. Then when evening comes, and the sun dips below the horizon, you may once again return to that which you choose to take up, whether it be the plow or the shears. But see that you do not take up your hand in sin, and be wary of those who do. Be separate, and stand apart from those who forsake the Sabbath and push out the hand against My Holy Days. For My Sabbaths are holy, a blessing, a time to reflect on those things I have prepared for those who love Me.
Why, O churches of men, do you forsake My Sabbaths and cast away My Holy Days, as though the devil had laid them upon your doorstep?! For My people are those who keep My Commandments[15] and take pleasure in My Sabbaths. They abide in My love[16] and have The Testimony, and do not cease from doing those things which are pleasing in My sight.[17]
And behold, the Day is coming quickly
When The Rightful King shall rule...
And His Kingdom shall be a Sabbath,
Even one thousand years;
His reign, forever and ever!...
For The Lord has spoken, and so shall it be:
On Earth as in Heaven.[18]
Remember The Sabbath and Your God,
and He Shall Remember You
1/24/13 From The Lord, Our God and Savior - The Word of The Lord Spoken to Timothy and Jayse, For a Brother in Christ, and For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear
On the Sabbath do those things which are pleasing in My sight, that we may be glad together. Come to Me and receive peace, for in Me shall you find rest, says The Lord YahuShua.
Therefore, My son, give ear to My speech, and let your heart leap with joy in My presence. For I made the Sabbath for man, and not man for the Sabbath. Yet very few understand its true purpose, nor can any comprehend the full scope of its meaning, until the day they enter in... My son, as I rested on the seventh day, so shall you do also. For I had blessed and sanctified the seventh day from the beginning, a day set apart and holy; even as those in whom I dwell are set apart and holy. Remember the Sabbath therefore and consider, see with greater eyes, for a day in The Lord is as a thousand years!
My son, follow Me, walk in My footsteps, and you shall be blessed indeed. For the servant who walks in My ways shall know Me, and the disciple who rests in Me on the Sabbath Day shall have peace. Yet the Sabbath is more than rest, and the Commandment more than peace. For rest is indeed good for the body and for the mind, yet even more blessed are those who rest in The Lord, for theirs is rest for the soul. For peace is in the knowing, I AM WHO I AM, and upon this foundation shall My servants find rest, even healing which flows like a river.
Thus the truth of who I am heals the broken-hearted and revives the soul;
And those who lay their burdens at My feet shall be nourished in My love;
And those who trust in Me without reservation shall be satisfied, for I am enough...
Behold, I am The Living Bread which came
Down from Heaven, The Fountain of Living Waters!...
Therefore, let all those who have ears to hear
Come to Me on the Sabbath Day and eat!
Let them abide in My presence and drink!...
Says The Lord, your Redeemer.
The Sabbath Was Made for Man,
and Not Man for The Sabbath
4/25/05 From YahuShua HaMashiach, Our Lord and Savior
The Word of The Lord Spoken to Timothy
For Timothy, and For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear
(Regarding Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread)
Therefore, Timothy, Do not your own pleasure on The Holy Days or on the Sabbath. Rather do that which pleases The Lord your God.
Do This in Remembrance of Me
If one who loves The Lord dedicates a certain day to The Lord, yet is ignorant regarding the Fourth Commandment, or has been led astray by false teaching in the churches of men, then to The Lord the day is indeed dedicated. For this is acceptable and well-pleasing to The Lord, because of the intent of his heart; to him it will be accounted as righteousness.
Yet if another who is not ignorant of the truth, and was not led astray by the churches of men, comes forward and says, “I also dedicate this certain day to The Lord”, and it is the correct day, the seventh (Saturday), according to the Fourth Commandment, but does so as a mere outward display to gain honor for himself, elevating himself above others, judging those he perceives as less worthy because of their error, to him it shall be accounted as shame. For though he kept the Sabbath outwardly, he did not keep it inwardly, nor to The Lord was it truly dedicated, having not kept the Sabbath at all.
Yet the one who remains humble and sincere, though he be in error, will in time come into true knowledge in keeping the Seventh Day holy, as it is written. For he had already kept it in his heart. For it is far easier to move someone whose heart is in the right place to the correct day, than to move someone with a wrong heart to a place that is right, if they feel they already abide there... Yet remember this: All who have been awakened to the Truth must now walk in its ways, and no longer in their own, nor in the false doctrines of men in the churches.
Thus says The Lord YahuShua: Beloved, walk uprightly in Me, in My very footsteps. Abide in My doctrine, according to the faith and knowledge you have received in Me. Progress toward perfection, with all trust. Keep The Commandments, as you testify to The Truth by your example. Yet no more walk in the ways of this world, or in the doctrines and traditions of the churches, for they are corrupt... Obey not the commandments of men.
Beloved, seek and you shall surely find,
For all you need is written for your
Edification in the Scriptures of Truth...
And behold, even by these many Letters,
Which are of the same, have I set
All these crooked paths straight...
Says The Lord.
Remember The Sabbath Day, to Keep It Holy
