Speaking further to the “rest” promised to the soul, that would respond to His drawing; the Lord began afresh to make real what He is doing IN us.
[Matt 11:28-30]
We were reminded that His “rest” is a finished activity, being actualized (by His Spirit; the administrative agent, of the Godhead).
[Pastor]
Man was made “a living soul” that he might learn to “know” the refreshing of the “rest;” by becoming a partaker of the divine nature of the Lord, Jesus Christ (the tree of life).
[Gen 2:7; Matt 11:29; 2 Pet 1:4; Jn 15:4-6]
The soul is the center of our mind, will and emotions, veiled in a body of flesh; that serves to cloud our spiritual viewpoint. This provoked the apostle Paul to pray that “the eyes of our (spiritual) understanding would be enlightened ...that we might know the exceeding greatness of His power to us-ward.”
Ultimately, the “rest,” the refreshing, of the soul comes from the outpouring of the Spirit of the Lord. “Thus saith the Lord that made thee ...which will help thee ...I will pour My Spirit upon thy seed, and My blessing upon thine offspring: they shall thrive (be fruitful) like watered grass.”
[Isa 44:1-4]
