Life is full of detours. Tony Evans says if you’re not currently in a detour, then you either just came from one or are about to head into one. But detours have a pattern that you can look for if you find you’re not where you had planned to be. In this lesson, learn about the three patterns that detours possess to help get yourself back on the main route.

Amen! Thank you Dr. Evans for this word of God. I'm so grateful and able to truly Rest…given God all the Praise and Glory!!🙌🏾
THANK YOU JESUS🙌 FOR YOUR APOSTLE, PROPHET, EVANGELIST, TEACHER, PEACHER, PASTOR, Dr. TONY EVANS ALLELUJAH 🙌🗝️❤️
You LORD, Gave this Man of God Keys to Preach the Word on Your Holy Sabbath Day of REST📖 Which is a Promise that we are invited to Enjoy.
Because it is the Sabbath of Rest, Holy to the LORD, Exodus 31:15. It is separated from common use, and designed for the Honour and Service of God, and by Observance of it we are taught to REST from Worldly Pursuits and the service of the Flesh, and to devote ourselves, and all we are, have, and can do, to God's Glory Amen…….
Mark 2:27 Jesus said to them, "The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath."
Galatians 5:13 You, my brothers and sisters, we're called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.
May God👑🔥🌬️ Continue to Bless👏 you🕴️ with Hearing👂 His Voice🗣️ and Preaching⚔️ the True Word📖 Of The Gospel🗝️ to His Sheep👪 In Jesus Mighty Name AMEN🙏
As Jesus is our sabbath rest, the Rock in a dry and weary land, -He Himself is Peace, hemming in, undergirding protection.
Old and alone, i am a child of the promise, I will never leave you nor forsake you, this unchanging place of abiding is the very heart of God..
There is room for you. Repent of sin and be redeemed.
God, I trust that You are always with me. Even when I’m experiencing challenging circumstances, I can find peace in knowing You are close. With You, I can be strong and courageous. Thank You for being my guide and protector. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Great a word of God ,Glory to Jesus
If you are calm in your soul, you can have confidence in your footsteps ❤
Glory to Jesus Christ Hallelujah.

Great message as always!
Good massage! Thank you!
On the sabbath I beg to differ. Jesus didn’t come to change the law. Remember the scripture
Thank you for this message, I was a new Christian he came to our church every end of year, even being new I noticed the bad treatment he got, but I didn't know that infidelity was the rereason until now, I also struggle to understand why Christians are so unforgiving they learn to love and forgive but they do the opposite, every time i ask why are Christians the response is always because church is a hospital, I don't think church is hospital i think church is an hospice because people don't get better they get worse, it looks like he was done with it all, RIP bro Sam God has you now.
I'm blessed! 🙏🙌
… not one god has ever been proven…
Take away the fake miracles attributed to Jesus,
take away the church invented fake saints,
and their fake invented church miracles,
all the Christian theology comes crumbling down, leaving Christianity and the Church completely naked.
Christianity is founded on the Jewish invented god known as yahweh and everything else about Jesus was invented
by SAUL the Jewish man known as the Apostle Paul and the Church Fathers.
Let us face the truth.
The apostle Paul (Jewish man SAUL who never ever met Jesus) and the Church Fathers,
invented and created the huge theology, dogma, story and rules etc….around a gay Jesus and became a religious figure.
Aside from the Fact that not one god has ever been proven…
What a mighty God! Thanks Father!( l will keep on , keeping on! Amen ( for the battle is not mines) amen amen amen ( well put together) amen
Let he church say AMEN!!
How does a person "enter into God's rest" or "rest day" that began some 6,000 years ago, for each "creative" day was some 7,000 years long, and in which the apostle Paul spoke of God's "rest day" or 7th "creative" day (Gen 2:1-3) as still ongoing some 4,000 years after it began, immediately after the creation of the first human couple, with Adam being created in 4026 B.C.E. ?(Heb 4:1-11)
At Hebrews 3, Paul outlines the failure of the Israelites to "exercise faith" (and not just have faith) in God, whose name is Jehovah (see Isa 12:2, KJV), during their 40 year trek through the wilderness from 1513 B.C.E. until they reached the land of Canaan in 1473 B.C.E.
At Hebrews 3:7-11, Paul, quoting from Psalms 95:7-11, says: "Therefore, just as the holy spirit says (or moved men of faith in Jehovah to write down his words, see 2 Pet 1:20, 21), “Today if you listen to his voice, do not harden your hearts as on the occasion of provoking to bitter anger, as in the day of testing in the wilderness, where your forefathers put me to the test and tried me, despite seeing my works for 40 years. This is why I became disgusted with this generation and said: ‘They always go astray in their hearts, and they have not come to know my ways.’ So I swore in my anger: ‘They will not enter into my rest.’”
The newly released Israelites from Egyptian slavery (after having been slaves for some 215 years after the death of Joseph in 1657 B.C.E.) showed no faith in Jehovah, despite ten powerful plagues (or "great judgments", Ex 7:4, Hebrew gadol shephet, meaning "great infliction") on the Egyptians (Ex 7-12), and their salvation at the Red Sea, destroying Pharaoh and his army down to the last man.(Ex 14:26-31)
So, over the course of the next some 1,500 years, the nation of Israel as a whole never "exercised faith" in Jehovah God, but rather just put on a pretense of serving him up to the arrival of Jesus as the Christ in 29 C.E., as Jesus said to the Pharisees, quoting Isaiah 29:13: "You hypocrites, Isaiah aptly prophesied about you when he said: ‘ This people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far removed from me. It is in vain that they keep worshipping me, for they teach commands of men as doctrines."(Matt 15:7-9)
Though Jesus worked feverishly to teach the Israelites "the truth" about Jehovah God and his "Kingdom" (see Matt 4:4, whereby Jesus tells Satan that "man must live, not on bread alone, but on every word that comes from Jehovah's mouth"; see also Luke 8:1), they rejected it and him.
At Luke 13, in about the fall or autumn of 32 C.E., Jesus, using a seemingly current event of Pilate killing some Galilean Jews who protested when he took money from the temple treasury to build his some 25 mile long aqueduct to bring water into Jerusalem, tells the nation of Israel: "Do you think that those Gal·i·leʹans were worse sinners than all other Gal·i·leʹans because they have suffered these things ? No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise be destroyed ("destroyed", Greek apollumi meaning "to destroy fully"). Or those 18 on whom the tower in Si·loʹam fell, killing them—do you think that they had greater guilt than all other men who live in Jerusalem ? No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all be destroyed, as they were.”(Luke 13:1-5)
The nation of fleshly Israel never accepted Jesus as the promised Messiah, with only a few individuals doing so, a "remnant".(see Isa 10:20, 21) They never as a nation "entered into God's rest day", exercising faith in Jesus as Jehovah's "messenger of the covenant" (Mal 3:1), but rather became his enemies.(see Isa 66:1-6)
For their apostasy and rebellion, they were "destroyed" by the Roman armies in 70 C.E. and are no longer Jehovah's people, being replaced with a new "nation" of spiritual Israelites that "exercises faith" in Jehovah through his Son Jesus Christ.(see Matt 21:42, 43; John 14:6)
Only those who "exercise faith" (Greek pisteuo eis [see John 3:16], that means "faith in motion") in Jehovah God are able to "enter into his rest" and gain his favor.
God I need you I need your mercy
Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him 🥲
Amen 🙏🏼 thank you Jesus!
I hated Christianity until Christ came to my life, I have Gail him I have given and un and he has raised me up. Now at 66 I have terminal cancer, and I have no words to express how much of his presence in my live. My family is prepared but I am ready to be with him. I wake up everyday thanking him for his grace. Because without his grace I have been lost long time ago. Praise you Lord.
My name is John and if you feel having my family in your prayers I would greatly appreciate it.
I very disappointed that people are changing God's words . You can not pick a day to be a sabbath. It say that Jesus was a sabbath observer . Jesus is the example we should live by so why people keep trying to change the 10 commandments that was clear and direct. It alway churches and pastor that go to church on Sunday coming up with these ideas.
I didn't finish this 1 but in Mark 2:28 the Sabbath is mentioned again. In other text in the new testament there are a few text that still show the Sabbath never changed and should be honored, however Paul often speaks about it clearing up we aren't saved because we honor the Sabbath and not to get in arguments dealing with what day is the Sabbath, diet etc as we will be worshipping in the heaven to come.
I so respect how Dr. Evans embraces the soul while also calling it to submission… acknowledging its value without letting it dominate. So balanced. So biblical. Lord lead us to live in this reality. In Jesus's name. Amen!
Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 KJV — Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
Thank you Tony Evans, May God bless you. I've been havinga battle with this situation for at least a week or two, I thank you Jesus for you💛💛👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Amen.
Teach, Sir!!!
