In this world God whispers, “Come into My rest.” Today’s devotional, “Walking in HIS Redeeming Rest,” invites us to rediscover the rhythm of Jubilee — the joy of being co-crucified, co-raised, and co-resting with Christ. As we pray for Turkmenistan and our own nation, the United States, may His Kingdom of righteousness, peace, and joy rise within us.

Reflection: The Rhythm of HIS Redeeming Joy
In Leviticus 25, the Lord commands a Sabbath for the land — a year of Jubilee when debts are forgiven, slaves are freed, and what was lost is restored. This wasn’t only about agriculture or economics; it was a divine heartbeat of redemption. The Jubilee pointed to Jesus Himself — our ultimate Redeemer — Who came to set captives free and announce “the acceptable year of the Lord.”
When we embrace the truth that we were co-crucified with Christ, co-buried in His death, and co-raised in His resurrection, we step into the true Jubilee of the soul. We stop striving to be holy and start living from His holiness. We stop trying to earn peace and start resting in His peace. This is the redeeming rest that transforms striving into rejoicing.
Proverbs 12 reminds us that “the lovers of God are filled with good things.” His wisdom fills our hearts with words that give life. Ecclesiastes 7 teaches that wisdom is better than wealth, for wisdom reveals Heaven’s perspective on what truly matters. Psalm 72 paints the vision of King Jesus — ruling in justice, defending the poor, and making righteousness flourish like springtime in every generation.
Romans 12 then invites us to respond: “Give your bodies to God, a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to Him.” This surrender isn’t loss — it’s joy. It’s the freedom of living co-united with the One Who gave Himself for us. The more we yield, the more HIS life overflows through ours.
Prayer Focus: Turkmenistan & the United States
🌍 Turkmenistan:
In this nation where believers often worship in secret, pray that the Joy of the Lord would fill underground gatherings and home fellowships. May courage rise among new believers who face persecution or rejection. Pray that the Spirit of Jubilee — freedom, rest, and restoration — would sweep through hearts in hidden places, releasing songs of praise where silence once ruled.
United States of America:
As we intercede for Turkmenistan, we also lift up our own land. May America awaken to her need for repentance and revival — not a revival of performance, but of Presence. May the Church rediscover the rest of the Redeemed, the peace that comes from knowing who we are in Christ. Lord, heal our divisions and awaken our hearts to walk in Your righteousness once again.
Living the CO-Life: From Striving to Overflow
Romans 12 reminds us that transformation begins by renewing our minds.
When we embrace the co-life — being co-crucified, co-buried, co-raised, co-seated, and co-glorified — we begin to live not for God but from Him. The “CO” message reminds us that HIS story is now our story. HIS victory is our victory. HIS rest is our rhythm.
The Joy of the Lord is no longer a fleeting feeling but the steady current beneath every season. We discover that grace is not just pardon; it’s partnership — Christ living in us, and us living through Him.
A Word for Those Who Don’t Yet Know Jesus
Dear friend, if your heart is weary from striving, searching, or simply trying to make life work — hear this: Jesus loves you deeply. He came not to give you religion, but relationship. He carried your sin, shame, and pain to the Cross so you could live forgiven and free.
If you’re ready to step into His redeeming rest, you can pray this simple prayer:
“Lord Jesus, I believe You are the Son of God.
You died for my sins and rose again so I could have new life.
I surrender my heart to You.
Wash me clean, fill me with Your Spirit,
and teach me to walk in Your joy and peace.
From this day on, I belong to You. Amen.”
If you prayed that from your heart, you’ve entered into the greatest Jubilee of all — eternal freedom in Jesus Christ.
Closing Prayer
Lord, we thank You for the beauty of Your redemption and the rest of Your Jubilee.
Teach us to live co-crucified and co-raised — free from striving, full of joy.
We lift up Turkmenistan and the United States — may both nations be filled with the knowledge of Your glory as the waters cover the sea.
Let every believer carry Your radiant joy and contagious peace into their world today.
In Jesus’ mighty Name, Amen.
