Yesterday RIPMINISTRIES held our official groundbr Yesterday RIPMINISTRIES held our official groundbreaking ceremony for our construction project in La Vega, Dominican Republic.  This is the future home of Grace Destiny Church and the Thelma Steward Grace Destiny Academy. 

Grace Destiny Academy provides a free Christ-based education to 170 Haitian students in the area.  We also provide them a hot meal every school day.  We are excited about growing the school, and our church, once the project is complete. 

On behalf of the entire RIPMinistries team, @isabellainspire and I would like to thank our partners and supporters!

You must make time for rest. -- Rest is spiritua You must make time for rest. 

-- Rest is spiritual.  I personally know great men of God who have had periods in their lives where they wanted to give up on ministry, leave the church, quit their assignment, or even go so far as to kill themselves, all because they were burned-out.  These are men who love God, who are thankfully still with us and still doing ministry, but they go to the point where they were so tired that they wanted to give up on God and give upon LIFE! 

-- Many believers have fallen prey to depression due to a lack of sufficient rest. 

-- Pastors are quitting churches and possibly derailing themselves from their destiny, all because they did not slow down long enough to work on their own mental health and spiritual well-being. 

-- Like I said yesterday, it’s dangerous to pour your life out for others, over and over again, without taking the time to be refilled, rejuvenated, and revived yourself.  You cannot give what you do not have.  So if you don’t take time to get FILLED in God’s presence, you won’t be of any use to others because you are of no use to yourself. 

-- Your first ministry to your family.  For you to minister to your family, you have to be healthy yourself first.  So please make time to get sufficient rest.

-- We were not designed to live without rest.  David got tired of living on the run.  He got tired of Saul and his attacks.  And when you are tired -- mentally, physically, psychologically -- you make mistakes.  David made one of the worst decisions in his life, simply because he was tired.  Please don’t let this happen to you.  Get rest, make time for self-care, and ensure you are in a position to BE a blessing to others.

Declaration of Faith to Get Sufficient Rest

Father, I thank You for blessing me to understand the importance of sufficient rest.  I make time for a Sabbath rest every week.  I know I need time to rest, and I make sure I get it.  I don’t want my life to be “full of other things.” I want my life to be full of You.  So I make time to spend time with You.  I give myself license to release myself from email, text messages, and my to-do list, long enough to sit, rest, meditate and listen in Your presence.  As I do, I declare that You speak, I hear, and I receive the insight, wisdom, knowledge, revelation, and the understanding I need to become the person You sent me to this planet to be.  I come out of my time of rest rejuvenated, restored, revived, and ready to face another day or another week.  By getting sufficient rest, I resist burnout.  I never allow myself to get to the point where I am not healthy enough to make sound decisions.  My decisions are sound because they are bathed in prayer,  based on Your Word, aligned with Your purpose for my life, and congruent with the leading of Your Spirit.  Living this way, I level up in 2021!  GREATER IS COMING FOR ME!  I declare this by faith, in Jesus’s name.  Amen!

When you don’t get rest, you run the risk of los When you don’t get rest, you run the risk of losing your mental health because of physical and mental burnout.

a)  As I make this point, I want to highlight those of us who are in ministry.  When God calls you to minister to others, you are constantly pouring your life OUT into the lives of other people.  While pouring-out your life as a sacrifice for others is the will of God, it is also the will of God that YOU spend time in God’s presence to get FILLED back up again.  Elijah said it would not rain until he said it would rain.  It did not rain for 42 months.  Elijah called down fire from heaven.  God answered by fire.  Elijah prayed for the rain to come.  God sent the rain.  Elijah was an amazing man of God.  But after that all of that, after he dedicated his life to God and His people over and over again, Elijah found himself under a bush, wanting to die.  He even asked God to take his life.  Why?  Because he was tired.  He was simply burned out.  Don’t let this happen to you!

b)  People debate the actual numbers, but  a certain percentage of Pastors in the United States battle depression.  Many have quit the ministry and left their churches.  Some have sadly taken their lives.  When Elijah was depressed, God used sleep, rest, and a few good meals to restore him.  Sometimes that is all we need. 

c)  Isabella and I run hard for God.  We are busier now than we were before we retired from the Army.  We do what we do because we believe we are called to it.  But being CALLED by God to something DOES NOT mean you don’t need rest.  It does NOT mean you don’t need breaks.  Sometimes all you need is a few days, or even a few hours, away from your daily routine, so the Lord can restore you.
Rest is spiritual. a) When Elijah was burned ou Rest is spiritual. 

a)  When Elijah was burned out, and he wanted to die, look at what God did to restore him.  Before God ministered to him in what we would consider to be a “spiritual” way, God had Elijah get some sleep.  When he woke up, God provided him food.  God then sent him to sleep again.  When he woke up, God gave him food again.  After getting good sleep, rest, and food, Elijah was in a position to hear from God again, and he was restored.  Please do not underestimate the power of sleep and rest.

b)  You were not designed to go, and go, and go, without rest.  God built in a requirement for a Sabbath rest because He knows that we, as humans, need it. 

c)  WHen you don’t get rest, you open yourself up to satan.  One minute Elijah was fearless.  The next, he was running like a scared coward, wanting to die, all because he needed rest.  Please learn from Elijah and get sufficient rest!

Declaration of Faith to Get Sufficient Rest

Father, this is a season of LEVELING UP for me.  I thank You for calling me to my divine purpose.  I am dedicated to it.  I will arrive at Your overall expected end of my life.  I will complete my assignment before I die.  I pour out my life as an offering to You and Your people.  And Father, I will not get burned-out.  I fast and pray.  I get sleep and rest.  I spend time in Your presence.  I take necessary breaks.  I cast my cares upon You.  I allow myself the time to get restored, renewed, revived, and regenerated by You.  Fear, doubt, and unbelief have no power over me.  I will never give up.  I refuse to cave in.  I shall not quit!  GREATER IS COMING FOR ME!  I declare this by faith, in Jesus’s name.  Amen!

If your life is externally driven (and not interna If your life is externally driven (and not internally fueled), the devil will be able to manipulate you easily because he is able to manipulate and orchestrate external conditionals through the people who are easily influenced by his impulses.  Those people are all around you.  The devil can pull strings through your employer or your employees; he can do it through your boss or co-workers; he can work through your community and the economy.  So, if your internal peace is contingent upon external conditions, you are completely susceptible to satan.  Satan is a master manipulator, and he will pull strings, only to watch you react time and time again.

The good news is that you can have JOY and PEACE in believing.  God’s JOY is not contingent upon happiness or happenings.  God’s peace does not rely on external serenity to be in operation.  You can be in the middle of a storm and still REJOICE!  You can be in the middle of chaos and have divine PEACE!
