RIGHT INTO YOUR LIFE

INTRODUCTION

God has provided rest in all the turmoil from inside and outside our life, and even better: TOTAL RESTORATION.

THE IDEA

We need the rest and even more the restoration, rest from physical tiredness, rest from mental troubles, rest and spiritual restoration, rest from our usual activities, the Sabbath for restoration, rest in God's peace, renewal now and total restoration at Jesus' coming.

THE LESSON

We need to take a break. God is in charge. We need to balance our lives into God's hands. We need to respect the laws of nature that God instituted for our well being. God has plans for us, to make us happy, we need to come into His rest, His quiet physical rest, His Faithful rest, His Prayer rest, His Sabbath rest, His redemptive rest, His renewal and His rest into Heaven.

THE EMOTION

How peaceful is rest in Jesus! The loveliness of the right amount of sleep. The fulfillment of being physically ready. The faith that we are in God's hands and that He is leading us. The healthy intimacy of meditation. The power that comes from communion with God in prayer. The regenerating Sabbath, physically, emotionally, spiritually. Knowing and feeling God's sustenance, the example of Jesus and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Heaven on earth in our heart, and Heaven to come, Eternal life with God. O sweet rest.

THE LIFE APPLICATION

How great it feels to be effective and efficient. Satan is trying to get us on shaky grounds, by keeping us too busy all the time, and by getting us to disrespect the natural laws of God. It's the little decisions that get us into trouble, decisions about rest, being a healthy change of activity, decisions about moderation and temperance. There is always more to do and to enjoy, now, but suffer later and more. There are always more worries, but there is always God, and faith in Jesus and the Holy Spirit to listen to. REST IN THE POWER OF GOD, ALWAYS WANTING TO HELP AND TO GUIDE US INTO THE RIGHT COURSE. Jump into His open arms and listen to His word, Jesus, and keep in touch with His Holy Spirit for the right decisions, the right life, the rest, the restoration, and Heaven in your heart, Heaven in your life, at every step, power to regenerate you, and peaceful rest, and serene life: Eternity with you.

IN WHICH SANCTUARY DO YOU WORSHIP ?

REMEMBER...THE SANCTUARY REPRESENTS THE RESIDENCE OF GOD, THE COMMUNION WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THE WORK OF JESUS FOR THE SALVATION OF THE HUMAN RACE:

1) THE CREATION IS A SANCTUARY OF GOD THE CREATOR, THUS IS THE SABBATH THAT REMINDS US OF THIS, AS WE ADORE GOD

2) JESUS IN THE EARTHLY SANCTUARY AND IN THE HEAVENLY SANCTUARY WITH A PLAN AND A SACRIFICE FOR US, AND IN THE PRAYER OF GRACE, AS WE KNOW WHERE WE'RE COMING FROM AND WHERE WE'RE GOING WITH HIS POWER: Justification by Faith

3) JESUS IN OUR HEART FOR REDEMPTION IS A SANCTUARY AS IS OUR BODY, TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, BOTH HONOR GOD IN OUR BEHAVIOR: The work of Sanctification

4) GOD'S HISTORICAL WORK OF SALVATION IS A SANCTUARY IN THE FAITH, FROM THE MIRACLES OF THE PAST UNTIL THE PROPHECY THAT SUSTAINS US FOR A GLORIOUS FUTURE

5) THE CHURCH IS A SANCTUARY AS IN THE ASSEMBLY OF SAINTS IN RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD AND WITH EACH OTHER

6) THE GOSPEL AS PREACHED TO THE ENTIRE WORLD BY CHRISTIANS IS A SANCTUARY, IN THE FIELD OF MISSION, JESUS IS WITH US UNTIL THE END OF THIS WORLD

7) HEAVEN, THE RESIDENCE OF GOD IS THE SANCTUARY WE'RE GOING TO AS IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD ALREADY IN OUR MIND PERFECTED BY THE POWER OF HIS WORD, JESUS-CHRIST

You should worship in all of these sanctuaries, as they are the same and one, they complete each other, and there is not one without the others

Revival will happen this time, And This Is How:

Friends,

Revival will happen this time, and this is the way: If we ask God for that, and if we ask God to give us His Holy Spirit and pray for each other, even for people we're not comfortable with in the church, and pray for our enemies. This is one of the things that God won't refuse. We don't have to be worried about asking God if this is His will, as it is always His will. Let's do HIs will. As simple as that...

THE THREE ANGELS MESSAGE

The Proclamations of Three Angels

REVELATIONS 14:

6 Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth—to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people—

7 saying with a loud voice, “Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.”

8 And another angel followed, saying, “Babylon[f] is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.”

9 Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand,

10 he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.

11 And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.”

12 Here is the patience of the saints; here are those[g] who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

13 Then I heard a voice from heaven saying to me,[h] “Write: ‘Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.’”“Yes,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors, and their works follow them.”

JESUS APPEARS TO JOHN IN REVELATION TO TELL HIM ABOUT THE END

Revelation 10 New King James Version (NKJV)

The Mighty Angel with the Little Book

10 I saw still another mighty angel coming down from heaven, clothed with a cloud. And a rainbow was on his head, his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire. 2 He had a little book open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land, 3 and cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roars. When he cried out, seven thunders uttered their voices. 4 Now when the seven thunders uttered their voices,[a] I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven saying to me,[b] “Seal up the things which the seven thunders uttered, and do not write them.”

5 The angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised up his hand[c] to heaven 6 and swore by Him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and the things that are in it, the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, THAT THERE SHOULD BE DELAY NO LONGER, 7 but in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets.

AS JESUS WITH ARCHANGEL GABRIEL APPEARED TO DANIEL AND TOLD HIM ABOUT THE END

JESUS AND THE ARCHANGEL GABRIEL APPEAR WITH POWER TO THE PROPHET DANIEL at the end of his prophetic writings to announce the historic events leading to the end in Daniel 10 to 12

Daniel 10 New King James Version (NKJV)

Vision of the Glorious Man

4 Now on the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, that is, the Tigris,[b] 5 I lifted my eyes and looked, and behold, a certain man clothed in linen, whose waist was girded with gold of Uphaz! 6 His body was like beryl, his face like the appearance of lightning, his eyes like torches of fire, his arms and feet like burnished bronze in color, and the sound of his words like the voice of a multitude.

16 And suddenly, one having the likeness of the sons[c] of men touched my lips; then I opened my mouth and spoke, saying to him who stood before me, “My lord, because of the vision my sorrows have overwhelmed me, and I have retained no strength.

Daniel 12 New King James Version (NKJV)

The times of the end

7 Then I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by Him who lives forever, that it shall be for a time, times, and half a time; and when the power of the holy people has been completely shattered, all these things shall be finished.

8 Although I heard, I did not understand. Then I said, “My lord, what shall be the end of these things?”

9 And he said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. 10 Many shall be purified, made white, and refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand.

11 “And from the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away, and the abomination of desolation is set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred and ninety days. 12 Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.

Jesus leading us

Joshua 5:13–15

The Commander of the Army of the Lord

13 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, oa Man stood opposite him pwith His sword drawn in His hand. And Joshua went to Him and said to Him, “Are You for us or for our adversaries?” 14 So He said, “No, but as Commander of the army of the Lord I have now come.” And Joshua qfell on his face to the earth and rworshiped, and said to Him, “What does my Lord say to His servant?” 15 Then the Commander of the Lord’s army said to Joshua, s“Take your sandal off your foot, for the place where you stand is holy.” And Joshua did so.

SPIRITUAL POWERS

2 Corinthians 10:4-5 (NIV)4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have Divine Power to demolish strongholds. 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

Ephesians 6:12 (NIV) For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

IT'S A SO MUCH NEEDED OUTLINE OF THE SABBATH SCHOOL LESSON

The idea is to stress the biblical answers to the most relevant points, and to stress applications in a very direct way, using the comments of the official sabbath school lesson only and the verses of the Bible. It may be used by teachers as a summary, and by students as an outline, not to replace actual study. It's usually ready by Saturday night eventually. PLEASE SHARE WITH PEOPLE OUTSIDE THE CHURCH TO PROMOTE SABBATH SCHOOL ANNEX. You may share it now in French: www.ese9.blogspot.com

However, sometimes relevant citations from the Ellen White Estates will be posted instead in order to bring more light to the subject of the week. In which case you may visit www.twitter.com/sabbathschool also
