GIG246 This Is the Day show art GIG246 This Is the Day

Growing In God with Gary Hargrave

Growing In God Podcast Web Description: The book of Zechariah records the specific day on which Zechariah’s prophecy was voiced. This emphasizes the significance of this prophecy and how much we should be expecting God to fulfill His Word in our day. We look eagerly for the fulfillment of these promises of God’s blessings on Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem. This is the day they come to pass.   Show Notes: The prophecy of Zechariah is one of the greatest messianic prophecies that we have. And in Zechariah 1:7, we are given the exact day when that prophecy came. The significance...

GIG245 I Stand at the Door and Knock show art GIG245 I Stand at the Door and Knock

Growing In God with Gary Hargrave

Growing In God Podcast Web Description: The Lord begged the church in Laodicea to open the door to Him, so He could dine with them. This need to dine with God does not make sense to our Christian thinking. But it makes total sense in the Hebraic context of making a covenant over a meal. God is knocking on the door of the Church in this day. And regardless of how far removed we are from Him, if we open the door, He will make a covenant with us to bring us into everything He has promised.   Show Notes: The Laodicean church was a lost church, having fallen away from God. Yet...

GIG244 The Difficulties of Deliverance show art GIG244 The Difficulties of Deliverance

Growing In God with Gary Hargrave

Web Description: At the Passover God delivered the children of Israel out of Egypt to bring them into the land He had promised their fathers. But their focus was on the difficulties that this deliverance meant to the life they had adapted to. Moving from our present age into God’s Kingdom can also feel like a disruption to the life we are comfortable with in this world. Our focus must be on His Kingdom and not on the difficulties of deliverance.   Show Notes: Passover celebrates the deliverance of Israel from their slavery in Egypt. When they first heard that the Lord had come...

GIG243 Christian Persecution show art GIG243 Christian Persecution

Growing In God with Gary Hargrave

Web Description: Christianity is suffering tribulation today even if we as individuals feel unaffected by it. We need to be one with our fellow Christians who are suffering and be praying for them. Let us not be fearful of what satan might do to us because Christ defeated him at the cross. Even if we must face death ourselves, we overcome satan by simply exercising Christ’s victory.   Show Notes: The Lord said to the church in Smyrna, “I know your tribulation and your poverty.” Just as God knew then what the Christians in Smyrna were suffering, He is aware of what Christians...

GIG242 Religion or Relationship? show art GIG242 Religion or Relationship?

Growing In God with Gary Hargrave

Web Description: The religion of their day prevented many from receiving Christ when He appeared in the flesh. Religion is no different in our day. Religion tends to establish orthodox interpretations about God rather than lead us into a relationship with God. However, the promise is that we will all know the Lord. And we need to honestly deal with that which prevents us from knowing Him, even if it is our own religious thinking.   Show Notes: It is important to understand the degree to which our lack of awareness is based on our religious upbringing. Religious orthodoxy encourages...

GIG241 Will You Be Aware? show art GIG241 Will You Be Aware?

Growing In God with Gary Hargrave

Web Description: The Scriptures warn us that just as we are unaware of a thief at night, we could be unaware of the Lord’s appearing. Perhaps the greatest problem we face is not the circumstances in the world but our own unawareness of God. It is imperative that we seek the Lord for a greater awareness and understanding of what He is saying and doing today.   Show Notes: A characteristic of the end-time is the unawareness on people. We see this in the flood of anti-Semitism that is moving through the world today and even sweeping through many churches. What enables the anti-Semitism...

Growing In God with Gary Hargrave

Growing In God Podcast Web Description: In the story of Esther, the king was not personally involved in delivering the Jews from the destruction imposed by Haman. However, his signet ring in the hand of Mordecai gave Mordecai all the king’s authority and power to deliver the Jews as if he were the king himself. Likewise through the name of Yeshua (Jesus), we have been given the signet ring of God Himself. Let us accept who we are as His instruments and use His authority and power to bring Christ’s deliverance to the earth.   Show Notes: In the story of Esther, King Ahasuerus gave...

Growing In God with Gary Hargrave

Web Description: Get out of your mind that you are here on the earth by happenstance, wondering, “Why am I here? What is my purpose?” Instead of spending a lifetime trying to answer those questions, simply know that you were brought to birth by the will of God to be on earth at this time. And God is working in you and through you to accomplish exactly what He wants to accomplish.   Show Notes: There is so much confusion in this age that it can be overwhelming. This level of confusion can lead people to feel ineffective in their lives and even develop a sense of uselessness or...

Growing In God with Gary Hargrave

 Web Description: The parable of the king who invited guests to his wedding feast is something we want to apply to our hearts today. God has made a great provision of salvation through the sacrifice of His Son on the cross. It is His free gift to us by His grace, but we still must show up before Him and appropriate all that He has made available. This means we need to get rid of any excuses and everything that we would value more than God’s great provision. Lord, help us to come before You with prepared hearts, worshipping You with thankfulness for all You have given us.   Show...

GIG237 God’s Word Is for Now show art GIG237 God’s Word Is for Now

Growing In God with Gary Hargrave

Web Description: If God put us in this world by His will, then we accept that He has enabled us to do His will. That means whatever He makes real to us in His Word is not something only for the past or waiting for the future. His Word is something He wants us to walk in now. Therefore, we ask God’s help to end our double-mindedness by making our conscious and subconscious minds a united force to manifest His Word in the present.   Show Notes: As Christians we believe that the Scriptures are the Word of God. But we need to change our conditioning that relegates everything in the...

Web Description: In the quantum realm all things exist as possibilities until we observe them. But it must be understood that we are observing what exists; we are not creating something new. In God all things are possible to the one who believes. But that only works when it is a belief in what God has created. The Sabbath means that God rested because He completed His creation. And we enter His rest when we stop trying to create our own thing and become instruments to manifest what He has created.

 

Show Notes: Quantum physics describes a realm where all possibilities exist. It is the act of observation that takes something out of the quantum realm of possibility and manifests it in the realm we relate to. This quantum principle applies to the Sabbath. God rested on the Sabbath because all His works were completed. That means everything already exists in the realm of possibility. Therefore, our faith is not to create something new. It is to become aware of what God has already created and thus manifest what He has made available.

 

When you enter God's rest, you are resting from your works, from your striving, and from your seeking to accomplish something. There is nothing for you to accomplish since God has already accomplished everything. If you are stressed as a believer, it is because you have not entered His rest. You are still trying to work too hard to accomplish all the things you feel are from God. If they are from God, then He has already created them, and you need to manifest what He has created, not work harder yourself. If our awareness can lock onto what He has created, finalized, and completed, then we will become the manifestation of His works.

 

The book of Hebrews warns us not to be like those who failed to enter His rest because of disobedience. What was their disobedience? Even after they had witnessed God’s signs and wonders, they still did not believe He was God. They did not believe He was capable; they did not believe He was going to follow through on His promise. What then is the obedience God is looking for? It is believing in who He is as God and that what He has created is finished and fully available to us. 

 

Key Verses:

 

       Hebrews 4:9–11. “The one who has entered His rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from His.”

       Genesis 1:27–31. “God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good.”

       Genesis 2:1–4. “God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work.”

       Hebrews 4:1–11. “Let us be diligent to enter that rest.”

       Mark 9:23. “All things are possible to him who believes.”

       Matthew 7:7. “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.”

       Psalm 95:6–11. “They tried Me, though they had seen My work.”

       Psalm 78:10–33. “In their heart they put God to the test.”

       Matthew 4:5–7. “YOU SHALL NOT PUT THE LORD YOUR GOD TO THE TEST.”

 

Quotes:

 

       “Something that we're still looking for is this idea of entering into His rest. So you must see that there is an experience available to us that God is wanting us to have that has not been accomplished yet.”

       “All things are possible to him who believes. If we pray, then we can pray and believe for these things to manifest. You knock and you keep on knocking. You ask and you keep on asking because they are there. You're not trying to invent them. You're not trying to recreate them. You are simply believing in what is.”

       “We've seen His salvation in our own lives. We've read the Bible stories. We've witnessed at times, many of us with our own eyes, the moving of God in the earth—healings and wonders. We cannot doubt. We cannot come back and say, ‘Oh, now we just need You to do one more miracle for us.’”

 

Takeaways:

 

1.    Many Christians think that the Sabbath is strictly Jewish. But God sanctified the Sabbath day after He finished His creation, long before the commandment to observe the Sabbath. This means that the Sabbath was set apart for all mankind.

2.    People are still trying to understand the quantum realm. But simply, it is a creation of God. It is the mind of God. It is the realm where all things are possible. And the Sabbath rest means that we simply activate what is possible in the mind of God rather than striving in ourselves to accomplish something.

3.    The generation that God delivered from Egypt failed to enter His rest because of their unbelief. We do not want to follow their example. We had better know that He is God and that nothing is impossible for Him and that all He has created is available for us to possess.
