Pastor and Best-Selling author of The Cause Within You, Pastor Matthew Barnett, called-in to affirm the weary. YES! God is indeed listening and speaking.
But what is God saying? What can you do with your weariness? What about the tired and needy around us? What can they do?
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30
Jesus Christ, in the book of Matthew 11:28-30, said we are to rest in Him and his faithfulness! Jesus Christ also said, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.” Sounds like a story of redemption!
Pastor Matthew shares his own experience resting in God's promises to guide and provide! His Dream Center in Los Angeles houses 700+ of the most needy. It’s a dream from Matthew’s past come true; one that has changed the “City of Angeles”!
You and I have a role in “change”. The “rest” Jesus offers is to know by faith that we are saved! And that faith without those good works is worthless, dead.
So I ask, “have we heard from God?” Are we forgiven our lack of perfection before a perfect God? If we answered yes, then Jesus says come and die to your dreams, I’ve got something better! Take up my cross, my plans for this broken, cursed world! Be about what I am doing! Then you will truly live!
We are to be about knowing God, and telling, caring for the needy and the marginalized. I hope this interview breathes new life into old dreams, and new visions for the once-blind! God has a "work" perfectly suited to you and to me! Pastor Matthew's book and interview will help us SEE OUR CAUSE WITHIN!
