New Year Word

The sluggard says, “There is a lion in the road!  There is a lion in the streets!” As a door turns on its hinges, so does a sluggard on his bed.  Proverbs 26:13-14  (ESV)

Dear friends of Come Rest,
Just a brief, but clear, word for you all to begin 2015. Believe with Kim and I that this will be the year of your complete victory over your fear and the enemy’s intimidation. No matter how messed up life seems, you will draw ever closer and come up even higher into His presence and plan for your life. Whatever has threatened you in the past will have no power over you. Jesus will help you stay face to face with Him like never before. You will be His bold witness speaking His truth with His love like never before.

Here is what I hear Him saying in my heart, “The Lion in you is greater than the lion out in the street. I am the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. No longer let anything intimidate you into sluggishness. Let My Spirit lead you into My victorious rest. The antidote for intimidation is intimacy with Me! All that I have is yours; you have nothing to prove; let Me help you do things My way!”

I commend these words to all of you as we begin 2015. Come rest in His love and bear His real fruit! Come up into His heart and do not settle for anything less than Him and His way of life; let Him teach you in 2015 to stay face to face with Him in the secret place in every present moment of each precious day He gives you.

Thank you so much for your continued participation, prayer, and financial support for Come Rest Ministries. We anticipate an abundantly fruitful year in Jesus’ name.

Kim and I love and bless you all.
Happy New Year 2015!
Dick Speight
