TREM Daily Devotional 29th October 2019- ENTER INTO HIS REST


“There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.”
Hebrews 4:9 (KJV)

As the fast is drawing to a close; I want to challenge you to enter into the rest of God. I know it is easy to look around and count the numerous requests you placed before God and get very jittery that you are not seeing the results you desire. Beloved, do not be moved by what you see but by the Word of God. Remember, His Word is quick and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword, so there is nothing the Word cannot deal with.

Andrew Wommack Daily Devotional 29th October 2019- How To Experience Eternal Life Today


John 17:3 'And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.'

JOHN 17:3
In order to fully understand what eternal life is, it is helpful to understand what it is not. Eternal life is not living forever. Everyone lives forever in either heaven or hell. Also, eternal life is not living forever in the blessings of heaven as opposed to being tormented in hell.

John 3:36 and 5:24 show that eternal life is a present tense possession of the believer. Here, Jesus defines eternal life as knowing God the Father and Jesus Christ.

As we have already discussed, the word 'know' is speaking of intimacy instead of mere intellectual knowledge. Therefore, eternal life is having an intimate, personal relationship with God the Father and Jesus the Son.

Billy Graham Daily Devotional 29th October 2019- Battle of the Spirit


Let the peace of God rule in your hearts . . .
—Colossians 3:15
When we examine the problems that confront us in our world today, we find that every one of them resolves into a problem of “inner space,” a problem of the dark side of the human spirit. From thousands of letters we receive, it is evident that a large proportion of the population is facing deep personal problems. They vary from person to person, but they do exist, and they are all problems of “inner space.”
