This word came in two parts. During the night, the Lord woke me up to speak. Then He continued His word this morning.

6/22/26, 11:40 pm: “I AM here for the REST of you. The REST of your life. The REST of your destiny. The REST of all mankind.

“The Lord your God waits for you. With loving care and guiding hands, He would bring you into his REST.”

Later in my morning time with Him, the Lord said:

“My manifest destiny for you is My REST. I have spoken to you of REST many times. Do not forget My reason for speaking to you of any issue again and again. Every time I speak is important. Crucial. Critical for your life. For every word that proceeds out of My Mouth is a word of Life for you. These words that I speak often therefore highlight for you, My People, the issues in which you tend to fall short. And so in My Love for you, I constantly remind. My reminding words nip at your heels as a dog would herd his sheep, constantly bringing in those who would stray – back onto the narrow path of safety.

“I invite you to look back at My words of REST to you. Read and declare them over your lives. Receive My blessings within these words and heed My warnings. Look, each of you, to your own life to see where you fall short of My Perfection for you. And call out to Me to give you the Grace to overcome. For I AM an OVERCOMING GOD. REST in Me. Amen.”

Notes:

The Lord has indeed spoken of “rest” many times. Here are some excerpts:

October 7, 2024, 4:01 a.m.: “I want you to rest. Rest in Me. MY definition of the word, not yours. Rest is not lack of action. Rest is not sitting in an easy chair. Rest does not depend on activity or lack of it. Rest is a PLACE within Me. A place of quiet intimacy. A place of complete trust. MY REST replenishes you, even in the midst of battle. My REST energizes you, fills you with hope and joy. Come to the secret place of intimacy with me. This is what Jesus spoke of—’…and you shall find rest for your souls.’ Greater battle is coming, My Warrior Army. Look to me, and I will give you rest.”

November 6, 2024: “…Yes, your place is to rest in Me. Sight isn’t everything. Sight of your spirit is what is needed. What if you can’t see the whole picture, but you are next to Me? What more do you need to see than Me? I hold the answers. I open the eyes of your spirit according to My timing – and your obedience. Don’t waste My time – and yours. Rest in Me is the best medicine…”

January 23, 2026: …Remain in a position of REST in Me even as you fight your wearying battles. I will constantly refresh and strengthen you, but only as you REST in Me. This is your key, always your key. To remain in Me, to rest in Me…”

June 1, 2026: “…Striving is never My plan for you, for it only leads to your trying to do something of your own strength and will. This only pulls you further from Me. Quiet, continued intimacy with Me requires that you REST in Me at all times. Rest in Faith that I will lead you in all things and provide all things as you seek Me. Do not try to DO. Fall into My arms and stay there. Let My Spirit wrap around you. And see if I do not provide immeasurable Joy and Peace to you no matter your circumstances. I want you to be unshakable in Me. You need to be unshakable. Seek Me. Rest in Me…”

Matthew 11:28-29: Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

Matthew 4:4: Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.

Psalm 23:1-3: The Lord is my shepherd, I will not be in need. He lets me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness for the sake of His name…

John 16:33: These things I have spoken to you so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.

I John 5:4: For whoever has been born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world: our faith.

Psalm 91:1-2: One who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will lodge in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I trust!”

Isaiah 26:3: You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.

“I Love what you do to Me. Yes, you heard that correctly. I Love what you do to Me and for Me – when you fully listen to My Voice and obey. Do you know what you do to and for Me? You fulfill Me. You fulfill My plans for you and your nation. You fulfill My Love for you.

“I can pour out My Love on all people. But how many will respond? What happens to the Love I pour out on people when they do not respond? That great, all powerful LOVE hits them but cannot stay. It pours off of them like excess water into the ground. Because they do not choose to retain it. The most powerful force in all of creation – My Love for all people – can be turned aside by a stubborn NO. Such is the mystery, the sadness, and the Glory of My Love for every person I have created. I pour My Love into you. When you respond and accept and live accordingly, I bless you beyond imagining. I guide and protect your life and lead you into the great Destiny I wrote for you before you were born. But I also gave all mankind free will. The freedom to say ‘no’ to even My Love. Yes, you can say ‘no’ to Me, your great and endless Creator. But you shall pay a heavy price. And your continued ‘no’ to Me shall cost you your eternity.

“Think on this, oh people of the earth. Think on this, every person, whom I have created and Loved. For whom My Son died to redeem. Such a great Love as this – and you would reject it? For what? The evils and shallowness and emptiness of the world? The lies of satan, who hates you and seeks only to destroy you? What sort of wisdom is this? What sort of rational thinking is this? You are blind, all of you who say ‘no’ to Me. You are greatly deceived by the great deceiver. I call you out of your deception. I call you into My arms. I call you into a great and boundless eternity with Me. I call you to LIFE. MY LIFE. Throw away your filthy rags, your unkempt and shallow existence – and great JOY shall shower upon you.

“I Love you with My Perfect Love. And I call for you to Love Me in return. Throw away your pride – and come to Me. I will save you. I will lift you up and honor you. Yes, even you. I will accept you into My Kingdom and Eternity. I, the Author of Life, will give you LIFE. This is the choice set before you, the greatest CHOICE of your existence. Choose wisely. Choose Me. And great Joy shall be your return. I Love you with a Perfect Love. I call you to Love Me. And I will give you LIFE. Amen.”

Notes:

Ephesians 3:17-29: [May] Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God.

Today–a joyful reposting of God’s magnificent word on December 18, 2024. That night the Lord woke me up at 3:16 a.m. to speak this word. I find the time significant, reminding us of His promise of John 3:16: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes on Him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

“Healing for the nations. I bring healing to the nations. Each nation has its own unique problems and sickness. This evil flows from the particular principality of spirit that oppresses it. Some nations will refuse My healing, even as My Spirit pours out. Most will radically change. As people’s hearts are drawn to Me, the evil spirits over their nations are weakened. My Glory will raise up the people, forcing the spirits to flee. Woe to the nations who do not turn to Me, for they will become even darker. The nations who rise in My Glory will shine brightly and be blessed. Their land will heal, the people shall heal. My Spirit will flow freely. As never before, you shall see the meaning of the promise from My Word – ‘blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.’

“My disciples fished all night but caught nothing. Everything in its time. My early promise to them was to make them ‘fishers of men.’ One word from My mouth at the Appointed Time – and in their weariness of soul and body they obeyed and cast their net where I directed. By earthly measure, the difference from casting from one side of their boat to another seemed slight, insignificant. It was not the change of earthly space that mattered. My WORD went forth, and the fish swarmed. Then they knew it was I who had SPOKEN. Their bulging catch was carefully counted – 153 fish. MY NATIONS. 153 nations shall swarm to My net of Salvation. In My Time and at My Word, the obedience of My People will bring in the Great Harvest. THAT TIME IS UPON YOU. As My Spirit moves and My Word goes forth, you, My People, must obey swiftly. I require your ALL. I require your infinite TRUST in My Word, even when My Commands seem needless and without meaning to you. I KNOW WHERE MY FISH ARE. I know what it will take to bring them into My net of Salvation. I work through YOU, My People. Your obedience will bring them in – great droves of them that will astound you.

“My disciples had given their all to follow Me. In those years I taught them, prepared them for what was to come. They had witnessed the agony of My death and the WONDER of My Resurrection. Because of their obedience and devotion to Me, when the moment came requiring them to obey a command that seemed insignificant, was beyond their understanding, they were prepared to push through their weariness and obey. Had they not, the fish would not have been caught. SO I REQUIRE OF YOU, MY PEOPLE. The time is here for the Great Catch of My Spirit. Heed My call, follow My precise direction – and BRING IN MY HARVEST. My nations SHALL BE SAVED. My nations SHALL BE HEALED. Amen.”

Notes:

II Chronicles 7:14: If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

Psalm 33:12: Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance.

John 21:2-11: Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples were together. Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him, “We will also come with you.” They went out and got into the boat; and that night they caught nothing. But when the day was now breaking, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. So Jesus said to them, “Children, you do not have any fish, do you?” They answered Him, “No.” And He said to them, “Cast the net on the right-hand side of the boat and you will find a catch.” So they cast, and then they were not able to haul it in because of the great number of fish…So when they got out on the land, they saw a charcoal fire already laid and fish placed on it, and bread.Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish which you have now caught.” Simon Peter went up and drew the net to land, full of large fish, a hundred and fifty-three; and although there were so many, the net was not torn.

Matthew 9:36-38: Seeing the people, He felt compassion for them, because they were distressed and dispirited like sheep without a shepherd. Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.”

“These are the days of thrusting forth. Yes, My People, I call you to thrust forth. What happens when a sword is thrust into someone? It pierces. Sometimes, if thrust hard enough, it can thrust all the way through. A gruesome thought in the natural. But hear Me, the Lord your God, as I speak about this in the spiritual way.

“My Word says that My Word is like a sword that can thrust even between soul and spirit. In order for you to thrust My words, you must first listen to them within yourself. Allow My words to you to cut and separate even between soul and spirit. My Spirit will never lie to you. Your soul, if tainted by anything of the world, can surely lie to you. Your soul is a place in which your enemy fights against you. When you keep your soul clean before Me, your spirit is then free to hear My Voice untainted. This is a lifelong journey of learning. This right hearing is a gift from Me, built within you day to day as you listen for My guidance and obey My Commandments toward you. Obey Me in all things. Keep your soul clean and pure before Me. And your spirit will rise, able to hear and receive – and heed – My pronouncements and revelations to you.

“As I prepare each of My People – in the singular, precise way according to each one’s specific destiny designed by Me – you will grow stronger and stronger in Me. Stronger in the revelation of the Lord your God, and in Faith to take on new tasks that I give you. Within these tasks, you will thrust forth My Word into others’ lives. My words and Truth flowing through you as My disciple will indeed be used to separate between the hearer’s soul and spirit.

“You are My workers on earth. I have called each of My People to bring in the harvest I have designed for you. My harvest are those who will listen to My words and join My Kingdom alongside you. As I thrust My Truth into you, so you thrust the words I give you into the lives of others. You become My living Testimony on earth. Who is called to disciple the nations, the peoples?

“YOU.

“Some of My People have destinies to traverse the world for Me. Some have a circle of territory much smaller, again as I have designed. What matters is this: your obedience to disciple the territory that I have given you. Think of yourself as a carrier of My Word and Truth. Whoever you come into contact with – how am I calling you to disciple that person? How can you shed My Light upon them? You will not know the answer to such questions unless your ears are continually attuned to hear My Voice as I call out to you and lead you moment to moment. Yes, My People miss many moments of discipleship due to your inability – or unwillingness – to hear My leading of you in that moment. A moment gone forever.

“I have so much more in store for you, My People, than what you currently know. Look to Me for continuous growth, continuous building of your Faith. Look to Me to fill you – as you in turn fill others with the words I give you for them. Do you see how your discipleship becomes a moment to moment undertaking? The more you keep your eyes on Me, the closer you listen to My constant leading of you, the more chances you will perceive for you to disciple those you come into contact with. Don’t miss My special encounters I have designed for you. Seek them out. Seek Me always, throughout your day. Seek Me in the moment – and be amazed at the encounters I place before you.

“Your job is to speak the words I give you. The other person’s job is to hear and heed My words. You cannot control how they will hear or respond. That is not your calling. Your calling is to obey Me in the moment. Also, you cannot know the final outcome of the seed you have planted within someone. Do not speak the words I give you for others expecting to always see an immediate result. Again, your task is to OBEY ME. Leave the other person – and the watering of the seed you planted – to Me. Herein lies your discipleship. Herein lies your Peace and Joy.

“Spoken by the Lord your God who Loves you and Loves all mankind. And who longs to have My words spoken to all peoples, all nations.”
