Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 21 2007,01:09) Hi 94,
The sons of God are led by the Spirit of God.
God uses available vessels but the yoke is easy and the burden light.
Men put heavy loads on their own shoulders anticipating the commission of God.
They should rest in the Lord and let His use them in His timing.
Not by might, nor by power but by the Spirit.
Obedience is all.
NHThe scripture that you are refering to is…
Matt 11:
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.I can see how you would use the word God in referring to these scriptures, because it is a rather bold and powerful claim for the Son of God to make.
“Come unto Me all ye”, Jesus says to all humanity to bring their prayers and burdens to him and “he” will give them rest.
Who can make such a claim? He didnt say come to the Father through me, he said come “to me.”
He who has the Son has the Father!

Hi Nick:If you will read my testimony, I mentioned a vision that God has shown me of a casket which had the top half open so that I could see what I thought was my dad in it, and the bottom half of the casket was draped with white impatien flowers and one red one in the middle. There was a calendar month of June with this vision.
Part of my impatience was that I wanted what God has said to me relative to how he intends to use me in the ministry to materialize so that people would believe my testimony so that they could be saved. And so, when it looked as if through some present circumstances that the prophesies given me were going to be fulfilled, and then they did not, I had angry thoughts toward God because of it. But I just wanted the prophesies to materialize so that people would believe and be saved. It is not about me. I am content to be whatever God desires me to be.
As you say, and as I know, God does things in his timing and not in ours, and so I am content with this. After all, it his plan for the salvation of his children. I did not originate the plan, but I am glad that I can be of service to my Lord and my God. If the prophesies came from God, and I believe that they did, and I receive the anointing that I believe God has promised, you and they and the whole world will be more prone to believe me then. I am not caring a heavy burden. God sent Jesus forth in his timing, and if he chooses to use me this way or that then that is his business. I love Him and I love people, and so, I am available.
And also, if he confirms what I teach with the type of miracles that He did through our Lord Jesus and the Apostles, it will be Him saying that I am correct in what I teach, and not merely me stating that my understanding of the scriptures is correct.
If you are making the statements that you make because I said that I observe the Sabbath commandment, I believe that God intends that we have a day of rest. I am not in bondage to the day. Jesus said that the Sabbath was made for man not man for the Sabbath.
Mt 11:28
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.Mt 11:29
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.This scripture states that we learn of him, and so Hebrews 4:11 states: “Let us labour therefore to enter into his rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief”. (Heb. 4:1-6)
All of us have faults to overcome, and my major faults were impatience and anger. And so, how can any one develop patience unless he has to wait for something or how can any one overcome getting angry unless he is faced with things that may make him angry so that he can resist the temptation to become angry? God is still working on me to make me what I ought to be.
And, I am at rest knowing that I in right standing with God through my Lord Jesus, and I know that if I make a mistake, I will not be condemned but forgiven when I repent and the blood of my Lord will wash away my sin.
When my ministry materializes, I believe that I will be traveling throughout the world in the service of my Lord, and perhaps then I can get your address and t8's so that I can come to New Zealand and see you. I'd like that.
I don't know is this thread is the appropriate thread for all of this spill, but you got me started and I couldn't quit. I hope that this is ok.
God Bless
Hi 94,
If Philip had headed off on his own idea of what God wanted him to do he would not have been waiting by the side of the road when the eunuch came along. Thus the plan of God to take the message to another culture would have been frustrated.Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 21 2007,03:55) Hi 94,

Hi Nick:I have been privledged to share the gospel with people from 54 different countries including a multitude over the past ten years without going anywhere except on the street right here where I live.
I could have written a book like others have done, but I have not because I did not and do not want to be cast into the public eye before God is ready for me to be there.
I am not going anywhere without the anointing promised.
1Pe 5:10
But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while *, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.God Bless
Hi,
Since not all enter the rest of God we should take seriously the exhortation in Heb 4
” 1Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.2For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
3For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
5And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.
6Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
7Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
8For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
9There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
10For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
11Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.”
And remember 1Cor 10
1Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;2And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
3And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
4And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
5But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
6Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
7Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
8Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
9Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.
10Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.
11Now all these things happened unto them for examples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
12Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
13There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
14Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.
“And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.” 1 Corinthians 10:4.
“Is there any God besides Me, or is there any Rock? I know of none.” Isaiah 44:8
Hi Tim2,
Compare with 1 Peter 1.120f and Rev 19.10 and you may see it is the Spirit of Prophecy spoken of.Hi,
Is all Israel saved?
Isaiah 10:22
For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness.Isaiah 11:16
And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.Jeremiah 6:9
Thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall throughly glean the remnant of Israel as a vine: turn back thine hand as a grapegatherer into the baskets.Jeremiah 23:3
And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increaseMicah 7:18
Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.Zephaniah 2:9
Therefore as I live, saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Surely Moab shall be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah, even the breeding of nettles, and saltpits, and a perpetual desolation: the residue of my people shall spoil them, and the remnant of my people shall possess them.Zechariah 8:6
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If it be marvellous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, should it also be marvellous in mine eyes? saith the LORD of hosts.Romans 9:27
Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:Romans 11:5
Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.What then of the gentiles?
Rom2
11For there is no respect of persons with God.12For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;
What do you mean by remnant? God did not create mankind to destroy him, or to just save a remnant, he eventually wants all to be saved through Jesus Christ.

Nick……….The verses you quoted are dealing with the Physical house of Israel, that a remnant will be saved from where GOD had driven them and return back the there former estate, this has nothing to do with eternal life and the Future salvation of all, you mixing up physical things with Spiritual things. The Salvation of all mankind is completely different then God bringing back a remnant of Physical Israel. You keep trying to distort the context to meet your theologies.
peace………………gene
I guess I should have been more specific.
Freeman, just what do you mean by “remnant”? I don't pretend to know what you're talking about.
