Tabernacles of Praise In the Secret Refuge of the Eternal God

"Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust." (2 Peter 1:2-4)

These thoughts came to me,

I drew you to prayer. Everything has been given to you that pertains to life and godliness. Grace and peace have been multiplied unto you. The favor that you have been given grants you an awesome advantage over self. You must not allow your feelings and reasoning to bar you from the favor that is yours because of salvation. I am truly living my life out in you.

The dogs of condemnation have come again to short-circuit your peace. They are attempting to persuade you to abandon your trust in my love. Be not bewildered by their barks and howls in your ears. All of these strategies are common to the good fight of faith. I will not allow you to be confounded by these wiles.

There are subtle spirits manifesting stunning tactics against the mind. These spirits know that they have a short time to work. Astonishing creatures are warring against you and the church. Those who are unaware of the warfare are deceived or already captured. I will not allow you to be ignorant of the devil's devices. A warning has been sent forth to alert you. Draw near to me, and I will draw near to you. Many are captured at the will of the devil because they do not love me. The people must be taught to love me.

You must choose to be holy. Keep your heart pure, and pray without ceasing. I am mobilizing holy teachers of love and grace to lead and guide my people through the spirit of cold love that has blanketed the entire earth. Gross darkness has covered the land. You must set forth holy examples, keep your own hands clean, and your heart pure. Who else will stand in my holy place except those who have clean hands, a pure heart, and those who have not lifted up their souls unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully?

I have forgiven your sins and your iniquities. Accept the peace of love and forgiveness. The barking of spiritual dogs cannot remove the righteousness that I have imputed. The strength of their untiring legs cannot outlast my longsuffering and my patience. I have placed the cloth of justification over their mouths this morning. By the hands of angels, I have put them to sleep and lifted you above their sniffing noses. They have sought you in vain, for you have found a refuge in me, the Eternal God. I have decided to bless you and send righteousness from the kingdom of God.

Worship in the refuge of the God of your salvation. There is none like me. I ride upon the heavens, and I am your help. I have placed everlasting arms underneath you. My love has caused me to thrust out the enemy before you. I am the shield of your help. I am the sword of Excellency. I have saved my people, and now will I tread upon these subtle things that are devouring the people. Do not diminish my power among the people. Proclaim the power of God to keep them safe. I have not simply brought them to birth and left them to survive of themselves. I am their rock and their fortress. I am their deliverer and their God. I am the strength of their lives. I am their buckler and the horn of their salvation. Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be delivered. They are calling upon me; therefore, will I save them from their enemies. Though the sorrows of death compass them round about and the floods of assumed trouble make them afraid, I will save them and bring them out with a high hand.

Go and preach faith in my faithfulness in the face of troublesome forecast of doom. In the house of the Lord, there is beauty to behold. In the time of trouble, I will hide my people in my pavilion. In the secret of my tabernacle, I will hide them and set them upon the rock of my salvation. Go and declare that the right hand of God is under the heads of my people. I have lifted them up above their enemies. Now offer the sacrifices of joy in my tabernacles of praise, and sing praises unto the Eternal God. The future has not surprised me; therefore, allow none of these things to surprise and baffle you. Everything continues to bow at my name. Now walk and run in the name of the Lord as you abound herein with thanksgiving.
