Comfort
from the Comforter As a Reward For Your Trust In God and His Grace
These
words came unto me,
I
have not made men your leaning post, neither have I made flesh
your arm. You have looked upon the arm of flesh and counted it
as security. There is no security in man, for man's days are like
grass, which grows up and then is gone. In the morning, grass
will flourish and grow up. In the evening, grass is cut down and
withers. Place your hope in me. I am eternal. The heavens shall
perish, but I shall endure. All of the heavens shall wax old like
a garment, and as a vesture, I shall change them. I am the same,
and my years have no end. I have given you my word. A living word
abides in you. The written word has become Rhema unto you. Heaven
and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
The
word in you shall not be shaken. It is the word of the kingdom,
which cannot be moved. I have given you grace so that you may
serve me acceptably with reverence and godly fear. My word is
like a fire, and I am a consuming fire. Look to me. I am keeping
you, not man. The heavens and the earth are kept in store by my
word and so are you. The arm of flesh searches for the weak. Spirits
of deception are using arms of flesh. Do not be deceived by another
arm of dependency. Man is as the dust. Man's days are as grass
and as a flower of the field. The wind passes over the field where
a flower flourishes and then the flower is gone. The place where
it stood will not know it no more. Look to the arm of mercy. It
is from everlasting to everlasting. I am the Eternal Spirit. A
thousand years in my sight are as yesterday when it is past. It
is as a watch in the night. Man is as grass. He withers and fades,
but the word of God shall stand forever.
Come
unto me with singing. I have placed everlasting joy upon your
heads. Gladness and joy are yours. Sorrow and mourning are lifted
unto a flight away from your presence. As a reward for your trust
in me, comfort has come from the Comforter. The words spoken in
your ears have also imprisoned the fear of man. Man shall die.
The sons of men are as grass, so fear them not.
Remember
me, your maker, for it is I, the Lord Jesus, that has stretched
forth the heavens and laid the foundations of the earth. I have
placed my words in your mouth and covered you in the shadow of
my hand. Abide in the shade of my love. The fire of the trial
shall not scorch you. The flood of the adversary shall not drown
you, and the schemes of your enemies shall be folded as a garment.
I shall cast their schemes back into their faces, and you shall
continue in your heritage that I gave you. You will not serve
your enemies, for you have not made flesh your arm. By my grace,
I have kept you, and your heart has not departed from me. Your
eyes have been opened to the good at your door. I turned you away
from the parched places in the wilderness of the last days and
blessed you because you trusted in me. I am your hope. Allow me
to remain your hope, for I am the hope of glory.
