1Peter 2:16
Joy’s Notes:
Wed
1 Peter 2:16
“For you are free, yet you are God’s slaves, so don’t use your freedom as an excuse to do evil.”
———-
“Don’t misunderstand why I have come. I did not come to abolish the law of Moses or the writings of the prophets. No, I came to accomplish their purpose.” ~Jesus Matt 5:17
Jesus didn’t come to abolish the 10 Commandments, he came to fulfill them!
👇
👉Jesus gives us two commandments that summarize ALL the laws in Scripture.
👉The 10 Commandments in Exodus 20 deal with our:
relationship with God
relationship with other people.
One naturally flows out of the other!
👇Without a right relationship with God, our relationships with others will not be right, either. (RIGHT ORDER)
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and most important commandment. The second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets depend on these two commandments” (Matthew 22:37–40).
10 commandments:
You shall have no other Gods before me
You shall not make for yourselves an idol
You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God
*transitions to loving God to loving others!( sabbath does BOTH)
Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy
Honor your father and your mother
You shall not murder
You shall not commit adultery
You shall not steal
You shall not give false testimony
You shall not covet

One of the most dangerous ways we misuse our “freedom” is avoiding Sabbath.
Sabbath was the first thing designated as holy in bible on the 7th day.
👇
Our instructional manual would say “sabbath needed to function properly and to fulfill its purpose & original design intended by its Maker.”
Satan keeps you away from sabbath
👇
The sabbath is the BRIDGE in the 10 commandments that connects loving God & loving others!
If the sabbath day was declared HOLY- on the SEVENTH DAY (which means completeness & wholeness)
wouldn’t that be where Satan would work to keep you away from!??
But Everybody is in a hurry
“ if satan can’t make you bad, he’ll make you busy”
Only in humility can I find rest —“The arrogant are NEVER at rest.”Habakkuk 2:5
Business keeps us from having to face our SECRET PAIN.
BUT….
Sabbath EXPOSES our secret pain.
AND….
Sabbath HEALS our secret pain!
👉sore spots!
40 % teens are PERSISTENTLY sad & depressed
1 in 5 teens have considered suicide.
Sabbath takes :
chaos to calm
Empty to full
Broken to mended
Crooked to straight
👉SABBATH enables us to Become Emotionally healthy people!
👉what is happening under the surface! (Roots)
👉 sabbath helps identify patterns of our past.
👉 collect, connect & correct the dots (Lysa Terkuerst)
👉INTERNAL HEALING naturally produces RIGHT THINKING!
Sabbath is:
Better then
Other then
More then…
what we believe here in the West. (Kristi mcLelland)
SABBATH: To cease from my work to remember Gods work
The heart of Sabbath is:
“I am making all things NEW!” ~ Rev 21
In being Sabbathed,
God is:
Restoring
Renewing
Repairing
When I’m a sabbathed-woman; I become an AGENCY of sabbath!!!
Sabbath asks:
“What’s the condition of my own heart & soul?”
Jesus does some of his best work on the Sabbath!
Because Sabbath is a celebration of restoration!
But if we don’t engage in Sabbath, we won’t engage in restoration!
👇
John 5 —
pool of bethesda.
“Picking up your Mat” was WORK & couldn’t be done on the sabbath.
👇
They didn’t know the TRUE meaning of sabbath!
👇
The sabbath is intended to be a day of MIRACLES !!!!
The mat that once held this man— he’s now holding it!
CREATING SPACE:
I create space & God comes in & fills it!
Built tabernacle (traveling church)— glory of God filled the atmosphere
Solomons temple
When I CREATE SPACE
God comes in & fills it with His presence.
“So Few people know the warfare power of a heart at REST!”
Discipline to delight .
Striving to surrender.
Straining to Sabbath.
