Online School This website is designed to be used as an online school for those exceptional souls who are willing to pay the considerable heart-investment required to translate an earnest hope for His Rest into the supernaturally stable radiance within the reality. Such earnest seekers should start by reading the above introductory documents on this Home page. (The full intro draws on many sources, while the brief intro sticks mostly with the principles seen at work by John Wesley in hundrds of lives.) This website is designed to be an intensly serious endeavour to serve those hungry souls who ache for more of Him with an overwhelming challenge from the timeless words of selected heritage authours -so that (at last) you may sink to your knees and cast your ALL unto Him in full trust that He will respond to your desperate faith and make Himself LORD of your ALL.     .......... Only then does true Christianity begin. His Rest will come to be understood as both the fulfillment of the gospel's promise -and the experiential foundation for the Kingdom.    Earnest Seeker I have tried to provide a wide enough variety of resources to appeal to souls of every background and level of achievement in every category, so if you find a resource that is too theological for you -move on -because there are others that use homely examples instead (especially articles by Carradine). Some of the testimonials will make you laugh. Some will make you cry...  Let your study be guided by the numbers in the left hand menu options: Introduction  #1 Online school. This page contains a number of important topical introductory articles that you will need to start initially and at various times thereafter as you become more conversant with this challenging task. Central Idea  This is a short and very punchy resource for those who want to get the gist of our theme in a flash. Testimonies  #2  Online School.  This page offers a number of testimonies of those precious souls both heritage and contemporary, who have entered His Rest.  Most are excerpts that describe how they came to abide in this spiritual dimension, and are taken from very lengthy heritage works that describe the whole life.  Most are quite instructive to those who wish to follow on to enter His Rest, but I have also included some  testimonies from famous souls within His Rest that did not provide us with much helpful information , even though their stories are stunning. (e.g. Mme. Guyon, Brother Lawrence & Saint Francis of Assisi) Early historical figures are often that way, because they were so very poorly informed themselves.  In fact, they would have literally given their right arm to have the wealth of resources found on this website at hand.  But they did not. You do!!!!  So you can be far more informed on how to both enter and retain His Rest than they ever were because generations since have read their worthy works - and then went on to build upon their shoulders. One such builder was John Wesley. Entry   #3  Online School.  This page is the beef of the website, and of the online school: but if you eat only beef, you will not do well.  Most of these exceptional resources came from my sifting through the Wesleyan Heritage Library CD. There I found a number of excerpts and brief resources that speak directly to those who earnestly seek to know how they too may make their hearts pure and white as did many in the past.  Be careful to correctly understand the heritage jargon. It can fool you!  In those pre-Azusa days, "baptized in the Spirit" referred to entering His Rest.  Their definition -and the spiritual experience they used the term to describle it was incomplete, but not incorrect.  Today many of us are "filled with the Spirit" and so have "the Holy  Spirit" released in power within.  But few indeed, abide within "the Fire" as the sanctified do.  These terms cannot be copyrighted by any belief group since they are scripture. They refer to spiritual experiences that some enjoy, and despite the rhetoric -some do not.  All read the Word and form opinions, whether they have what is referred to or not.  Opinions formed without a proper factual basis are termed "presumption" -or worse. Wisdom  Online School option.  On this page seasoned sanctified figures of the past give guidance to those who have already entered His Rest.  These articles provide good insight into this state of grace for anybody, although it was specifically written for  those who have just entered His Rest. Historical   Assorted articles to provide historical context. Ichabod  Assorted articles to help us all answer the question, "So, if the Great Awakening was so great, just where did it go?"  They flirted with deception. The blind led the blind, and so naturally they all wandered into the ditch. But there were a great variety of routes to the same unhappy outcome of living in the wide way outside of His Rest.  Saved but not completely saved.... Charismata    Online School option.  Articles and resources of special impact for my fellow charismatic/pentecostals that dig into the relationship between "His Spirit" and "His Rest".  Also included is a section of heavy-duty prophecies on the topic. Articles   Assorted good bric-a-brac that are excellent but off topic. FAQs   Online School option.  Seekers of His Rest in every century have been full of urgent questions about this topic.  Here you have access to both those still relevant questions, and their fascinating authoritative answers. Links  Links to other online Holiness resources. Books    Places you can order Holiness books from. His Rest has been neglected by the wider church for many reasons.  Chief among those reasons, is that it is just plain tough to obtain. It requires a passionate and single-hearted pursuit that counts not the cost. Today's hurried lifestyles are not amenable to this. But this is not new, since no earthly lifestyle ever was.  For good reason, His Rest has been called "the road less traveled".  There never was a traffic jam into His tableland of delight.  Only stalwart souls attempt the climb.  But even so, many turn back.
