I heard, very clearly, "You can only speak from rest."
Hebrews 4:3 says 'We who have believed enter that rest...'
What is that rest, exactly? It is the finished work of Jesus Christ...payment for every sin, healing for every disease, victory for every challenge in life, every promise of God 'yes and amen' in Him.
And what's really interesting is that Jesus was the Lamb slain before the foundation of the world! [Revelations 13:8] His finished work occurred in the Spirit before the world was created!
Hebrews 4:3 also says God's own works were finished from the foundation of the world...His plan of redemption for man, Jesus the sacrificial Lamb, slain before the foundation of the world in the Spirit.
Why? So that we may receive the ABUNDANCE of GRACE and the GIFT of RIGHTEOUSNESS to reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ! [Romans 5:17]
1 Corinthians 6:17 tells us plainly that we are one Spirit with the Lord—Paul says we were crucified with Christ, buried with Him in baptism, raised up together with Him and seated with Him in heavenly places! [Romans 6:6; Galatians 2:20; Ephesians 2; Colossians 2]
In fact, it was God's doing to place us in Him [Jesus], Who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption! [1 Corinthians 1:30]
So that place of rest is in the finished work of Jesus Christ and in our unity with Him. Once we truly understand the grace of God that has made us the righteousness of God in Him, we can speak with true power and authority. Created to reign in life through Jesus Christ.
Hallelujah!
