We
Are Anchored To the Hope Of Glory, Not Redeemed To Be Lost In
the Undercurrents of Our Emotions
I
heard the Spirit say,
Do
not act on the emotions that are running through your life now.
Your emotions are like a river on its own course. Follow not that
course, for it is not mine. The river of emotions is a deep river.
The bottom of it is the dwelling place for many unknown motives
where misdirected actions are formulated. Fear resides there.
Unforgiveness resides there. Pride resides there. Unbelief hides
there. Make no decisions based on how you feel. I have given you
a relationship with me. I will direct your life and give you the
right decision. My decisions are based on divine love, knowledge,
and purpose. I am living my life out in you. I am the hope of
glory. Hope does not lead you to the waterfall of shame. Hope
has become your rock and your trust. Look to the end of this violent
flow of emotional upheaval. Grace stands there. It did not simply
stand there while you journeyed through this river. It has been
with you all the way. Gird up the loins of your mind, be sober,
and hope to the end for the grace that is brought unto you at
the revelation of Jesus Christ.
I
did not redeem you with the precious blood of Christ to lose you
in the undercurrents of your emotions. Believe in me wholly. Christ
was raised up from the dead that your faith and hope might be
in me, Jesus, the Eternal Spirit. You have hope. I have closed
off the mouth of the waterfall of iniquity. I have corrected you
and your course. Your emotions and your strength have no hope
in them. If you depend on them, your hope shall be cut off, and
your trust shall be a spider's web. If you depend on them, your
house shall not stand. Though you hold it fast, it shall not endure.
I have anchored you to the hope of glory and drawn you to the
depth of trial where the deep calleth the deep. I will not cast
you away; neither will I help the evildoers. Hold fast to your
hope. Your mouth shall be filled with laughing, and your lips
shall be filled with rejoicing. Those who hate you shall be clothed
with shame, and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to
naught.
Rejoice
in the deep currents of life. You are anchored. Let your heart
be glad and your flesh rest in hope. I will not leave you banished
at the bottom of torrential emotions. You will not drown here,
neither will you see shame. The path of life is yours. The hope
of glory is your friend, and in my presence, is fullness of joy.
At my right hand, there are pleasures forevermore.
Be
not ashamed to trust in my voice. It is the foundation of your
faith. If you believe in my voice and know that it is I who speaks
unto you, then you will be accredited with righteousness. Your
prayers shall be effectual and profitable. I have submerged you
to this level of trial to endorse your faith in me. You have trusted
on me that I would deliver you. I took you out of your mother's
womb. Hope has been alive in you from the beginning of your life.
I was your God before the foundations of the world, and I will
not cease to be your God because petitions of men have been presented
to you. Your hope is in me. Your flesh is not in your own teeth.
Your life is in my hands. If I slay you, trust me, but do not
maintain your own ways or an emotional direction. I am your salvation,
and I have ordered your steps. Fear not. You are on course in
a deep torrential upheaval. Keep your trust in me. I have heard
your cries and responded to your eyes that are lifted up unto
me. Your eyes have waited upon me. I will have mercy upon you.
Only believe.
