Sabbath Rest – Steps 2 Success with Spiritual Solutions

“We love because He first loved us.” (1 John 4:19)

John 3:16 and John 14:1-3 reveal God, The Father’s Love, and God, Jesus the Son’s Love and Faithfulness to humanity.

“And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.” (Ephesians 5:2).

Knowing without a doubt, that you are loved by God invites the Holy Spirit to connect your heart to Jesus’ Heart, which builds a Love Relationship with our Shepherd, Who reinforces and anchors our identity and self-worth in Himself.

Lord God, we thank You for your Abiding Love, Faithfulness, and the willingness to help us in our times of need. We ask You to teach us how to love as described in 1 Corinthians 13. Lord, we also pray for the spiritual blessings of restoration, renewal, wisdom, and strength, as we celebrate the Holy Sabbath along with the heavenly angels. We look forward to the day when we will spend Eternity with You, worshiping face to face with Christ every Sabbath. Until Jesus’ Second Coming, we will continue to faithfully obey Your Commandments, celebrating Your Love for us through daily praise and worship. Your Holy Name. In faith, and with total surrender, we ask this prayer in the Loving and Righteous Name of our Triumphant King, Jesus Christ, Amen.

“Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, ‘Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.’ ” —Mark 6:31, NIV

Rest Is An Essential Component of Maintaining Spiritual, Mental, Emotional, and Physical Health. Rest is the healthiest habit we can form to maintain optimal health and wellness.

Fortifying the soul: Rest is essential for strengthening the soul and receiving wisdom from God.
Finding peace: Rest can help people find peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Finding rest in Christ: Rest comes from learning of Christ and co-working with Him.
Restoring health: Rest helps with physical and mental health, and is a remedy for fatigue, stress, depression, and burnout.
Preparing for spiritual practices: Rest allows people to quiet their minds for prayer, Bible study, and meditation.
Developing self-control: Rest helps people develop self-control and choose right from wrong.
Enjoying nature: Resting in nature is beneficial for the mind and body.

Fatigue easily escalates into an unhealthy stressor. If mental and physical stress is sustained [due to insufficient rest], eventually, we push our minds and bodies into a Crisis Mode, and the first needful system that begins to fail is our Immune System. Created in the image of God is our catalyst for renouncing the worldview, “Keep going!”

Pushing our minds and bodies beyond healthy limits prevents us from receiving the spiritual blessing of Jesus’ Supernatural Strength. God instituted rest. In fact, we have 24 hours of Sabbath rest to redirect our focus away from the demands of our rigorous lifestyles. Rest is required to establish a lifestyle of prayer and meaningful worship, and to maintain a consistent schedule for daily Bible Study.

Spiritual Growth and Transformation is a daily process that requires our cooperation with Divinity. Our goal is to use our earthly lifespan to prepare for Eternal Life. Do not allow success, money, or tangible acquisitions to push your body into overdrive. Our earthly lives are temporary. Allow yourself a weekly season of stillness, Jesus will release His healing power of Restoration, and the Holy Spirit will replenish your mind, body, and soul. Peace and blessings.

About Us

Steps 2 Success with Spiritual Solutions is a Bible-based Ministry.

“Here is the patience of the saints, here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus” (Revelation 14:12).

We believe in the Proclamations of the Three Angels Messages found in Revelation 14:6-11.

We believe in the Triune God who is God, the Father, Jesus, God, His Son, and God,the Holy Spirit.

We believe in the Plan of Salvation and that we are forgiven of our sins. And we strive to live as those who are forgiven by giving up our sinful desires and submitting our will to God through humility, obedience, diligent prayer and consistent study of the Bible, the Word of God.

We believe Redemption mandated that Divinity become humanity; Redemption required the death of Jesus and the shedding of his blood on the cross that we may have Eternal life.

We believe in the Second Coming of Jesus.

We believe that immortality will be received at Jesus’ Second Coming and not when an individual dies.

We believe that Satan, evil angels, and the wicked will be destroyed by fire. Malachi 4:1

We believe in the entire Bible and that all scripture was written under the inspiration of God.

We believe in the Fourth commandment which tells us that the 7th Day, Saturday is the Sabbath. God blessed the Creation Sabbath and it is Holy. In Genesis, a day is identified as the evening and the morning, therefore, we observe the Sabbath from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset.

We believe that humanity was created in the image of God and that we are to love God and to love each other as God loves us.

We believe that Jesus is the Son of God and the only way to God is to believe Jesus died, was raised on the third day, and is now in heaven serving as our Heavenly Intercessor.
