In the beginning… and
“Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.”
Genesis 2:1-3 KJV
“Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; and shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: but the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.”
Exodus 20:3-11 KJV
“Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none. And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found none. And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws? See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.”
Exodus 16:26-29 KJV
“If ye love me, keep my commandments.”
John 14:15 KJV
We have been surrendering ourselves completely to God all the six days prior, committing our spirit into His hands, seeking Him to sanctify us daily—to clean us up, cast out of us all contrary to His Agape to His character, to heal us making us whole. And we have by faith and the Holy Spirit walked with Eloheem and have been in preparation to enter into His rest. And here we are Sabbath made holy to keep His Sabbath holy being witnesses that God is He Who sanctifies us, Who delivers us from sin. HalleluYah.
Today, at even, as it began to dawn toward the seventh day: Sabbath, we bow down prostrating ourselves and pray to the One and Only True God. We enter into His rest, we enter into His holy presence. We have been giving up our will to the will of Eloheem all the six days prior—He has been sanctifying us. We come humbling ourselves before Him entering into His rest being filled with The Holy Spirit, We by faith keep God’s Sabbath holy inhabited by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”
Romans 12:1-2 KJV
“And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.”
Exodus 3:5 KJV
“Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you. Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people. Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant. It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.”
Exodus 31:13-17 KJV
“And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in. If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.”
Isaiah 58:12-14 KJV
“Thus saith the LORD, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed. Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil. Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying, The LORD hath utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree. For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant; even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off. Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant; even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.”
Isaiah 56:1-7 KJV
“But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple. But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless. For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.”
Matthew 12:6-8 KJV
“And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.”
Mark 2:27-28 KJV
Sabbath God’s day of mercy poured out in abundance!
Sabbath Jesus healed sin sick souls. This is a part of keeping holy sabbath—delivering souls from sin, death, helping them be born again—healing that souls be made whole in Christ. The good we do is that which helps deliver a soul and lightens the way to the One True Holy God Who gives His salvation: Deliverance from sin.
The good works of the Father. Isaiah 58 is a lifestyle, and not scheduled for or to be saved up for to do all in Sabbath; but everyday we do the will of our Holy Heavenly Father, healing, helping, clothing, feeding etcetera.
We must first by faith be born again ourselves. We must each repent, do the work of repentance. We must by faith depart from evil, from our wickedness. We must call sin out by its right name. We repent and are converted. We by faith heal the sick of all manner of sicknesses and all from all manner of illnesses. We seek to be used by God as His vessels in His saving of souls. This is the Love walk all week that in Sabbath as souls come, we heal that they be made whole in Christ. Yes, We go and worship Eloheem in His holiness. Yet, we are mindful and careful of our surroundings for we are in, standing on holy ground.
Repetition depends the impression:
We by the Power of God (The Holy Spirit) seek to know God daily remaining surrendered to Him, receiving His Agape that we love Him (we love Him with His own Love); that we with His Love—Love ourselves, and with His Love we Love others as ourselves. We live Isaiah 58 every day, we don’t just store it all up and say “we will do it on Sabbath”—many do this and are keeping “a day” but are not truly keeping Sabbath holy. I say it again, Sabbath is about the holy lifestyle lived throughout the six days, the good works of Eloheem are apart of us in Sabbath.
We live by His faith, we believe Him being hearers and doers of His Word—this is Christ in us.
We don’t commit sin knowingly saying in our mind, well I’m going to go here or there but, but, but I’m going to talk about God and so I will keep the Sabbath. These are deceived of the Devil and are his laborers in deceiving other souls instead of by faith and the Holy Spirit’s power standing for God on the side of God all week long, that they stand and have right to enter into His rest. We can’t enter in His rest yielding to Satan compromising God’s principles to please others and say we keeping God’s Sabbath.
Be not deceived.
“Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, If they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest. Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief: again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your hearts. For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.”
Hebrews 4:1-13 KJV
Sabbath is about our relationship with God all week, our will given up to His will to make us holy, giving unto us eternal life when He returns.
The just shall live by faith. Thank You Holy Father—heal us and we shall be healed; save us and we shall be saved.
HalleluYah
