Psalm 64 Prayer Alert

Dear friends of Come Rest,
·      We believe the Lord has placed Psalm 64 on our hearts as a prayer/spiritual warfare focus through the month of June. We believe the Lord is alerting us to the enemy’s assault on pastors and their families.
·      We call all global and local friends of Come Rest to pray according to Psalm 64 specifically for the pastors and leaders of the various churches and ministries in which you all participate.
·      I have begun memorizing Psalm 64 and I am declaring it aloud. I ask each of you to memorize it or keep a copy close and pray it aloud as the Spirit prompts you throughout the day.
·      Check in on your spiritual leaders, spouses, and families.  Surprise them with kindnesses. Join others in putting up a prayer shield of faith around them through Psalm 64.
·      Pray Psalm 64 over your own household.
·      Ask for divine appointments to pray for, and encourage people, with Psalm 64!

*Kim and I thank you for your ongoing prayers, financial support, and participation in Come Rest Ministries! Keep sending us your prayer requests! We are seeing God move very deeply, tenderly, and powerfully in our prayer ministry! The Lord is helping us take the land!
*Many thanks to Pastor Christian Shields who is helping us completely overhaul our website. We anticipate it will be up and running by June 15. When it is finished we will need one or two trusted and committed communications volunteers to be trained by Pastor Christian to take on the website as their way of helping Come Rest. We need these volunteers to help us develop an audio and video podcasting outreach as well. We need the website to become a tool to propel the message of Come Rest.  The website will also be able to receive electronic contributions and book orders and purchasing. Very exciting. Please pray.
*We have begun offering to do 3 Day Wellsprings Gatherings to pastors and churches for the renewal and equipping of their people. Please pray and help us spread this simple model in your church and city. Contact us for more info.
*Kim and I have personally stepped out in faith to buy a new, more reliable vehicle. We believe the Lord is preparing us for more travel around the U.S. to spread Come Rest ministry. We are seeking the Lord as to where He wants us to travel and minister this summer, fall, and winter. Seattle? Columbus? Atlanta? St. Louis? Phoenix?  Marshalltown? Algona? Des Moines? Your home town or church? Pray for us and let us know what the Lord is bringing to your mind. We are presently seeking the Lord about the time period of July 17- August 11. Let us know! Again, very exciting.
*Please pray that I make major headway on the new book the next 6 weeks. It must be my priority. I am seeing that this book, which will be entitled Come Up has the potential to make a difference to a lot a people for years to come. I must pull away from other ministry demands to devote my full attention to it. Please pray for me.
*Finally, if you know of other believers and churches that have a heart for sowing financial seed into ministries that renew the larger body of Christ, please encourage them to give to the Lord’s work to Come Rest Ministries, P.O. Box 11010, Cedar Rapids, IA 52410-1010.

Love and blessings,
Dick and Kim Speight

Rejoice and Be Glad

Oh that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When God brings back the captivity of His people, Let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad.   Psalm 53:6 NKJV

Dear friends,
We’ve had such action-packed, fruitful weeks with the NW Iowa mission, our 3 Day Gathering, and ongoing ministry here at Rehoboth. So many friends of Come Rest are stepping forward into their callings! What a joy to watch it all unfold! This past week was time for Kim and I to catch our breath, celebrate her birthday, help family members and Come Rest friends with various needs, and try to get back into our personal rhythms of prayer, scripture, Kim’s art, and my writing. We give thanks for your participation, prayer, and financial support for Come Rest!  

Have you ever gone through your day doing the same things in the same surroundings with the same people and suddenly noticed something in the persons or surroundings you had not seen before? Scripture is like that; it is alive. You can read and reread a passage many times over many years, yet there is always something more. The Lord is always ready to reveal Himself to us any moment we give Him our undivided attention. So it was last week as I read again the words “Let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad.”  Suddenly from within the Holy Spirit brought new insight and encouragement to my mind. You see, Jacob and Israel are two names for the same person. Yet the verse is not mere repetition; the Holy Spirit never wastes words. Jacob was a grasper from the moment he was born, and not necessarily the most loveable guy always. His life story up to the time of receiving the name Israel could be summed up by the phrase “take or be taken”. He took advantage of his brother Esau’s hunger and stupidity in acquiring his first born birthright with a bowl of soup and he deceived his aged father Isaac into giving his blessing meant for Esau. He fell in love with Rachel, but her father duped him into marrying her sister Leah first and getting seven more years labor from Jacob in exchange for Rachel’s hand. As I get older, I am more and more grateful whenever I see the name “God of Jacob”. It means the Lord is patient and merciful with you, me, and the whole world in our Jacobness. It means Christ died for us while we were yet sinners. Yes, at all times, and right now as you read this, no matter what is happening to you—you can rejoice in the Cross and rest in His blessed assurance you are saved from hell eternally, sin’s grip in this present moment, and the Helper Holy Spirit is in you! Let Jacob, you, me rejoice in our salvation!
What’s more, let Israel be glad. When Jacob arrived at the river Jabbok with his wives and children in tow, he was filled with dread at the prospect of facing the brother he had wronged all those years ago. In an anxious night Jacob wrestled with an angel of God and encountered God face to face. True to form Jacob grasped and asked for a blessing and received a limp and a new name. “Israel” means one who embraces and wrestles with God. Jacob named the place Peniel as the place where he embraced the face of God. In this intimate encounter, God mercifully prepared Jacob/Israel for more mercy and reconciliation with Esau. Through mercy God relieved Jacob’s fears and restored his relationships. Through the prophet Isaiah in chapters 42 & 49, hundreds of years later, to Jacob’s descendants in exile the Lord revealed Israel’s true calling—to be a light to the Gentiles. Because of Jesus’ blood over your life as a Gentile, you can be glad you too are called to be His light to the nations. So right now, as you read this—because of Jesus and no matter what is happening—rejoice that you are saved and be glad that you are called. Your life has a heavenly destination. Your life has an earthly purpose—to intimately embrace Jesus and lovingly witness for Him with grace and truth. He knows, feels, and understands your pain, fear, and grasping weakness. He loves you anyway Jacob. Rejoice. Be glad He picked you, even you. Oh how He loves you. Oh what a difference you can make to others around you—embracing Him and inviting them to do the same.
Rejoice that He died for you. Be glad you get to live for Him.

Love and blessings,
Dick Speight

Making Room Enough

Dear friends of Come Rest,
In Genesis 26, Isaac found a wellspring in the midst of famine. He named it “Rehoboth” which means “room enough”. He declared there was room enough for God’s people to thrive at that wellspring. They had rest from the argument and opposition they had faced at previous wellsprings.
Room enough to rest and thrive in Jesus. Ponder that in your own life. Are you making time and space for to rest and thrive in Jesus’ love so the Holy Spirit can grow you fruitful? Are you making time and space in your life to help others rest and thrive in Jesus’ love?
With everything that is going on in the world right now, I believe the Lord is telling me to stay in Him and stay on message—inviting the earth to come rest and thrive in His love and teaching people how to do that.
We are each given 24 hrs/day, 168 hrs/wk…
So…I am spending real energy adjusting my life along the following priorities through April 30 :
1. Making room enough for quiet/scripture/prayer with Jesus.(1hour morning & 1 hour evening.)
2. Making room enough for resting/recreating with Jesus. (Sabbath weekly, for us--preferably Saturdays)
3. Making room enough for prayer as a couple. (30 minutes minimum )
4. Making room enough for play as a couple. (Daily stroll/fun activity and weekly date night)
5. Making room enough to enjoy & help family. (Specific emphasis lately in helping our daughter Emily,
  her husband David, & grandson Micah prepare for the arrival of our new grandson any day now!)
6. Making room enough for physical health. (Daily walk/stretching/cardio; small meals & healthy snacks)
7. Making room enough for my job of writing to help people rest in Jesus’ love. (25 hours each week)
8. Making room enough for my job of equipping people to rest in Jesus’ love.  (25 hours each week)
9. Making room enough for a good night’s sleep by going to bed by 10pm & rising by 6am.

I believe the Lord spoke to my heart this week and said, “Less screen time and more face time.” He wants His people to spend MUCH LESS time looking into a screen(TV, Smartphone, Tablet, Laptop) and MUCH MORE time looking into His face and the faces of people who need His love through us.

So…please pray for me that I rest upon the Lord and make these 9 adjustments through April 30.

Are you making room enough for the Lord to help you rest and thrive in His love? Let me know the adjustments He wants you to make and I will pray for you!

Love and blessings,
Dick Speight

Fear Not Little Flock

32 “Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.33 Sell your possessions, and give to the needy. Provide yourselves with moneybags that do not grow old, with a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys. 34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 35 “Stay dressed for action[f] and keep your lamps burning, 36 and be like men who are waiting for their master to come home from the wedding feast, so that they may open the door to him at once when he comes and knocks.  Luke 12:32, 35
Dear friends of Come Rest,
I am presently meditating upon the 12th chapter of Luke. The two verses above particularly stand out tonight. I place the Lord’s words before you. I believe I’m hearing Him say, “The time is now. The time is short. Be My witnesses. Let’s get moving.”  What is He saying to you?

Love and blessings,
Richard Speight

That the Ungodly Might See

It is not so with the ungodly. They are like chaff which is driven away by the wind. Therefore, they will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. The Lord knows the way of the righteous; but the way of the ungodly will perish.
Psalm 1:4-6 NKJV

 For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. Romans 5:6 NASB

After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, “Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.” Revelation 4:1 NKJV

Dear friends of Come Rest,
I have continued this week meditating upon Psalm 1 by memorizing it completely and repeating it aloud several times a day. I stay more regularly before the Lord face-to-face in the secret place as I do this. The Lord has been so good to me. The less time I spend in media and the more time I spend in scripture and prayer—the more He shows me about myself, my loved ones, this ministry, the body of Christ, and the world. I have a lighter heart and brighter vision in the midst of heavier snow and darker skies. Join me.
In praying with some pastors this week, I saw we were like seven tall trees growing up through low hanging cloud cover. The seven of us were lifted up above the clouds into the glaring sunlight and given a joyfully clear view. The sun was warm and bright, representing His smiling countenance of grace because of the blood of Jesus covering our lives. I felt great peace as I looked to the horizon even as I saw storms coming. I saw some of the storms were coming from God for His purposes. Just as snow, ice, rain, thunder, lightning, and wind nourish and renew the earth—the storms that God brings into our lives are for our good to make us more like Jesus. Then I saw a few other storms were coming from Satan, schemes to discourage and deceive us. God is high and watchful over those attacks and only allows them for us in His purpose to train us “up”. Great peace and discernment awaits us in the secret place of face to face intimacy with the Lord. I felt the Lord was saying “As you come up in Me, I will help you clearly see the difference between My storms and the storms of the enemy. I will help you stand and delight in every good thing I bring. I will help you stand and defeat every evil thing the enemy brings. When My people do not come up in Me, all storms look the same to the flesh and you will respond as the ungodly do—afraid, angry, confused, self-striving. This is not necessary. All that I have is yours. Come up with Me in the secret place. I will show you what I am doing, tell you what to do, and help you do it.”
Last week in Psalm 1:1-3 we saw staying up in the secret place with Him begins by emptying your life of ungodly counsel, sin, and scorn. You then delight in the Lord and His word filling your life with godly counsel, company, worship, and witness. We then grow like deeply rooted trees planted by inexhaustible streams of water. We then prosper in bearing His fruit no matter what comes.
Verse 4 says this is not so for the ungodly. They are like chaff, an empty hull, easily blown away by wind and storms. There is no life-producing grain in them. They are ungodly because God does not live in them. Yes, God made Adam and Eve in His image. But ever since they rebelled, every human is born ungodly, full of sin and death, empty of the One who can give us everlasting life. But Good News! That sinless, deathless One came and died for the sin of everyone! He took our sin nature, diseases, and death all upon Himself and was resurrected Victor over all of it! Then He went back to heaven and sent the Holy Spirit to spread that Good News, inviting repentance, and igniting eternal life in everyone who receives Jesus as Lord! Only as we are born again by the Spirit through faith in Christ, does Jesus come to dwell in our hearts. We are only righteous because He becomes our righteousness. We become a new creation because the Creator now lives in us. Because He lives in us, we will stand and be accepted at the last judgment. The ungodly will not.
Only after He saves us are we gathered by Him into the congregation of the righteous. That word “congregation” doesn’t mean a church membership roll. Many people who are active in churches are not yet saved. This is not bad, it is good! The fields are ripe for the harvest! It’s just that we who are saved must humble ourselves to become more discerning so the Spirit can help us powerfully speak the truth in love to ungodly churchgoers so they might be saved. The word “congregation” means “ the assembly” or “the appointed”. It can even mean “swarm.” I like that. Church is not about us attending service but Christ appointing us to serve. When Jesus saves us, the Father declares us righteous and the Holy Spirit assembles us to become adoring adopted children for the purpose of bearing the fruit of His righteousness. The roots deepen and fruit grows--if we let the Holy Spirit help us trust in Jesus, delight in Jesus, meditate in His word, and congregate in Spirit-led love, worship, and witness!
I see great things ahead for the Body of Christ, and for each of you in this coming year. The Holy Spirit is making a major move to help His people come up. What an adventurous year this will be. I keep hearing the refrain of a powerful praise song in my mind, “More love, more power, more of You in my life…”. 
Be encouraged congregation of the righteous! Holy Spirit storms of truth, love, and power are coming to strengthen and purify you. Do not be offended by the Lord. Be defended. His ways are not our ways. Things are not always what they appear. Therefore, come up and see His reality in the peaceful sunlight of His face. He will show you how to grow deep and stand tall no matter what comes. Fear not and buckle up! The ungodly will be blown away by the winds that are coming. But He will lift us up to blow up the schemes of the enemy!
We are just beginning to discover how powerful is the person of the Holy Spirit. Gathering storms from Satan will not defeat the gathered swarm of the Lord. The adventure is just beginning. In fact, the Holy Spirit is just swarming up.

Love and blessings,
Richard Speight
