A LIVING WORD YESTERDAY

SOUND

There Is a River of Love In the Valley

I heard the Spirit say,

You have approached my throne with confidence and thanksgiving. I have not shoved you aside because of failure, but I have drawn you near because of my blood. The blood of the covenant is fresh and real. It is not an imaginary substance that people discuss for a conversational piece of material, but the blood of Jesus is your way of access into my presence. When I see the blood, I am moved with compassion because of Christ.

The Christ that suffered in your stead was my son, the Lamb of God. A real man suffered in your stead. He died for your sins and was buried. He arose from the dead and ascended out of the clutches of death and grave. He was your example and your confidence. Trust in the finished work of the Lamb of God, and know that by the faith of Jesus Christ you have already overcome all the things that have confronted you.

Climb over these things this morning, and be not shoved aside by worry and distress. Worry is born in distrust and lack of knowledge. Trust in me with all your heart, and do not lean to your own understanding. Worry cannot reside in a heart or mind that is filled with confidence in me. Love is born in you. Now allow love to flow unto trust. Worry seeks to dam up the river of love and prevent you from believing all things. Love never fails; therefore, lift up your eyes unto the cross again, and be refreshed in the confidence of your Savior. I have never failed. I am the good shepherd. I gave my life for you. Now come, and see what else I will do.

Offer praise from the depth of your being with total confidence. Know that I will not fail and forget you. I will not forget those who trust in me. I am keeping you in perfect peace, for your mind is on me. Resist the temptation to grieve and to attempt to persuade me through pity. I have seen your circumstances, but I do not see them the way you see them. You see them as enemies forged against you. I see them as testimony builders. These things have come to be the subjects of my testimony. They shall be used to build a mighty testimony of my faithfulness and my greatness. Fear not to trust me in the midst of the fire. The words that you have heard were born in these fires; therefore, know of a truth, that the enemy has made another mistake by attacking you, for I shall take this situation and inspire you again.

Lift up your voice in praise, and proclaim the greatness of your God. I am faithful to the end. I will not leave you. I will not forsake you. I will not forget you. I will not suffer you to be moved. You are planted beside the river of fresh water. Your tree shall not wither, and what you do shall prosper. Come forth with the newness of inspiration that is already flowing in you. Let it flow unto the sheep that follow. They are hungry, and they are thirsty. Pour out the righteousness that I shall pour into you this morning. Let it flow unto the souls that follow expectantly.
