Sweet, Glorious Rest
When you lie down, you shall not be afraid; yes, you shall lie down, and your sleep shall be sweet. – Proverbs 3:24 AMP
For a dream comes with much business and painful effort, and a fool’s voice with many words. – Eccl 5:3 AMP
We spent the last several days focusing on entering rest by casting all of our cares, anxieties, fears, and worries upon Adonai (the LORD) so we can enter into His carefree glory and glorious rest. Today, we (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) mentor you in the area of your sleep.
I’ve seen a connection between where our focus lies throughout the day and what type of sleep we get throughout the night. Whatever you spend your days worrying about will determine what type of sleep you get as well as how long you sleep, if at all. It also impacts if you dream and what you’re dreaming at night. How many times do you dream about the last thing that was on your mind right before you drifted off to sleep? Mentees, the things that keep you awake or that enter your mind when you first wake up reveal the heart of your cares and anxieties, as well as establish whether your sleep is a sweet, glorious rest.
I challenge you to get still right before going to sleep. Spend 10 minutes focusing on who Elohim (God) is, what He’s promised, and pray that your mind be renewed to His word prior to going to sleep. Checking your e-mail or social networking activity may not be the wisest thing to place in your spirit prior to going to bed. Use wisdom and discretion here. You should also avoid interacting with people who sow discord, strife, are malicious, and keep stuff going all the time. These folks thrive off being their flesh. I must remind you that are flesh is our enemy. The last encounter of the day should be with Ruach haKodesh (Set Apart Holy Spirit), not flesh!
My prayer for you is that from this post forward as you apply what your being mentored in here that you go to sleep with a renewed mind, full of His Spirit, and ready to receive divine manifestations (e.g., visions, dreams, go on trips—translations) that are produced by setting an atmosphere for sweet, glorious sleep.
Responding to His glory,
Prophetess Karen M. Pina
