I hear the voice of my people. Some are in very deep valleys and in great distress. Open your ears unto the voices of those in desperate need. Faint is the sound of many of their voices. Just above a whisper, some cry out. With very little clarity, many speak but are not understood. Where are the friends that should stick close to these?

Let not your response be according to their faithfulness. Many times their unfaithfulness is rooted in their weakness because they do not have a friend. Be not hasty in judging the actions of the people, for many times their actions are the expressions of weak, friendless people who have lost hope in the faith. Raise the hope of the people with the love of a friend. My word is in you, and by your words, strength will be restored to those weak in the faith. The language of the weak is not an unknown tongue. Those who call themselves friends do not hear their speech, for the love of many is waxing cold. Warm by the fire of my word in you. Allow the fire of praise to shoot forth inside of you. Speak in psalms and hymns that bring these fiery praises unto the hearts of the weak. The friendship in the body must grow beyond being associates in the faith. Many are only companions in a common cause. This is friendship, but should your friendship remain so small?

Should your friendship remain so distant when love and trust should be growing?

Grow in grace and in the knowledge of the Lord. If you are righteous, your friendship should flourish as the palm tree. You should be as the dew unto those who are dry. Your roots should be a strong support. Your branches should spread beyond your own tree, and your beauty should be as the olive tree. The fragrance of your praise should have a pleasant odor. Stretch forth the shadow of your friendship, and cover others during their heated trials. Water the friendless, and revive them as fertile corn. I have joined you to abundant grace. Now give the same grace to others whose reach has been shortened by the famine of the hearing of my word.

I have arisen with healing in my wings. Go forth as a grown calf of the stall. The energy of the word within you shall tread down the wicked devices. The works of the wicked shall not stand, for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet. The Sun of righteousness has arisen, and the breath of my sun causes new growth in the body of Christ. Those being born into Christ must be loved as you love your own soul.

Go and proclaim the need of friendship born of the Sun of righteousness and growing with the love of the Christ. Proclaim a love that is willing to strip self of its robe that it might be given to his brother. Many have garments, possessions, and many things. You will remain heavy in the journey until you have stripped yourself of your gain and shared it with your brother. You have not been defeated in your past battles. Others have strengthened you when you were weak.

Behold the multitudes that come against the weak. Cry out for help, and strengthen your brothers and sisters. I have called you friend. I am the God of heaven that rules all the kingdoms of the earth. In my hand, is power and might, and no one is able to withstand me. Though your friends are weak, my covenant is strong. Offer praise unto me. Come. Let us go, and drive out the evil that has sought to destroy those who are weak in friendship.

Cast all your cares upon me. I care for you. I have cared for you in your valleys. On your mountaintops, I have been your provider. Through the storms, I have made your way secure. Through the fiery trials, I have kept you focused. In your wars with spiritual wolves, I have been your guide. During the times of great hurt, I have healed you and kept you from bitterness. In everything, I have been faithful. I am with you always even to the end of the age.

There is war in the earth and great war in the heavens. Take up the weapons of your warfare during this onslaught against the mind. Spirits have assaulted the people in their dreams with sensual darts of lust. Many beget lust in their dreams and do not pray through this subtle conception when they awaken. The people must learn to think on the right things while they are awake. They must keep their hearts at all times. My people must give me all their hearts and let their eyes observe my ways. Set no wicked thing before your eyes.

Seek to find wisdom and get understanding. Sow wisdom as a tree while you are awake. While you sleep, wisdom shall bring you the riches of peaceful sleep and her ways of pleasantness. Your sleep shall become a beautiful garden to walk through in safety. It shall become a place to lie down and not be afraid. It shall become a place where your thoughts and your ways are sweet and undefiled. Sow wisdom and discretion. By wisdom, I founded the earth, and by understanding, the heavens were established. Keep these things before your eyes and your ears, and they shall be life throughout your sleep.

 

 

#79

I am the confidence of those who love wisdom and understanding. I will be your counsel at all times, and my reins shall instruct you in your night seasons. Many have been moved to the chambers of lust and pride because they do not set me always before their faces and their hearts. Bring me back to your right hand, and you will not be moved to the dungeons of war in your sleep. Set me before you, and your heart shall be glad, and your flesh shall rest in hope, not in fear and lust.

I am with you. Now you must stay with me. I will keep you in perfect peace if your mind is stayed on me. The path of life will be shown to you. This path shall not become the path of death and fear while you rest. In my presence, is fullness of joy. At my right hand, there are pleasures forevermore. Keep your eyes ever toward me. I am the one who has plucked your feet out of the net of the enemy. Show forth love toward me, and love me with your whole heart.

The light of the body is the eye. Allow me to be the focus of your eye, and your whole body will be full of light while you sleep and while you are awake. Fill your body with the light of your God, having no part dark then shall the whole be full of light, and your dreams and your sleep shall be as a bright shining candle of love and peace. I shall satiate you with the things of the Lord and replenish you with perfect peace. You shall awake and meditate upon sleep that was sweet unto you, not the desolate sleep of lust and pride. Sleep and bear the sweet fruit of understanding with dreams from God.

I am faithful. I am faithful. I am faithful. Doubt not. My promises are sure. They will come to pass. You have need of patience. In your patience, you possess your soul. Do not falter at the finish line. You must endure unto the end to win and be saved. A clear path has been made for your feet. A heavenly convoy has been given to you. The ministering spirits sent with you are greater in power, might, and knowledge than any earthly bodyguards. You are secure from all the wiles of the devil. Be assured of heavenly attendants escorting you. This is a faithful band. Now look to the plain path paved by heaven's procession.

I have never left you alone. I am with you unto the end of the age. I have eternal life dwelling within, and a place is prepared for you. I am preparing to receive my bride unto myself. She shall be with me forever. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump, for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and she shall be changed. Immortality awaits her as a beautiful garment. Incorruptibility anticipates a time to be her adornment. In victory, death will be swallowed up. Death's sting made her his slave. Blinded by the venom of death, she was held as a slave in the chambers of sin. She shall be changed, and her cry of victory shall sound. She shall say, "Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is your sting? O grave, where is your victory?"

Continue in Christ, for I am giving you the victory through the Lord, Jesus Christ. I am faithful; therefore, be steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

 

 

#81

You are built upon the rock of revelation. The gates of hell will not overpower the revelation of who I am. Continue to trust in me. The revelation of God cannot be moved. It will abide forever. No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper. Every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment shall be condemned. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and your righteousness is of me. I have given you eternal life. You shall not perish, and no man shall pluck you out of my hand. I have justified you. Now who is he that will condemn you?

Lift up your eyes, and behold the battle being won by the heavenly company sent from God. Behold the battle. It is mine. Now prepare to enjoy the victory.

 

 

#82

Lift your eyes and heart unto the certainty that is in me. There is no uncertainty in me. I am the Light of the world. The darkness of uncertainty is not a factor in my mind. Do not allow unessential equations to be formulated in your mind because of wonder. You do not need to know what the future holds in its hands. I have placed you in the bosom of my omnipresence. The light of my bosom is a resting place from the amazement created in the womb of the unknown. The unknown is like a dark city with no lights and occupied with strange creatures speaking mysteries. Enter the city limits of tomorrow speaking in unknown tongues, and you shall turn on the city lights of the dark, lonely streets. Speak in unknown tongues, and you shall author and write known truths on billboards in the darkness of uncertainty. The light of tongues shall remove the shadows from today, and you shall walk into tomorrow through a skyline of strength and peace.

 

 

#83

Through the smog of your human understanding, a vision of tomorrow is only seen clearly through the eyes of God. Darkness and light are the same to me. Give your hand back to me, and rest in my bosom. Escape not into the smog of your own human limits, but return unto the safety of my unlimited presence. The wings of the night will take you on a fearful journey if you venture into the suburbs of wonder. Accept the thoughts from the mind of Christ, and allow my hands to lead you. My right hand shall hold you. Though the darkness covers you and the night becomes the only light about you, this darkness cannot hide from me. The night shines as the day. The darkness and the light are both alike unto me. Hide yourself in the womb of my presence. I will possess your reins. I covered you in your mother's womb and made you fearfully and wonderfully. I made you in secret and brought you through the darkness of the womb of humanity. Your mother's womb did not fail. The womb of tomorrow shall not fail. The abortionist shall not slay you or your future. In the Eternal God, you are preserved today. Today's birth pangs shall not affect the work of my hands. Through the dark channels of time's womb, you are safe and secure. The light of my design for your life does not have to be discovered. It continually shines throughout the deep things of the darkness. It even brings out to light the shadow of death and banishes it from the chambers of today and tomorrow.

I have told you of words spoken in bedchambers and behind closed doors. Now I tell you of the secrets of wisdom. The secrets of wisdom are double to that which is. I have not removed you from the presence of wisdom. I have hidden you in the womb of understanding. I see the ends of the earth. I see all that is under heaven. I speak and tell you of the security of today and the surety of your peace through the smog of uncertainty. A strong city of peace is declared and prepared. As you came through the womb of your mother without human awareness of your future, so shall you come through the womb of time unto the reality of eternity. Behold the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom and to depart from evil, is understanding.

 

 

#84

I have lifted up my voice inside of you as the Faithful Witness and contradicted the testimony and the accusation of your adversary. Grace is in you to enable you to endure the contradiction of these foes. They have been heard before, and their case against me has never stood before the Judge of the entire earth. Allow not their contradiction to stand before you as confusing factors in your life. Faith is the evidence that has contradicted the established arguments of your opposition. Faith has stood the test of every foe. Though your foes declare and assert that you will be defeated, the spirit of prophecy, which is my testimony, is an assertion of the contrary to their affirmative.

I have not come to endorse the devil's accusations against you. I have come to offer a rebuttal that cannot be denied. My testimony shall stand. In the flesh, I endured all the contradictions of sinners against me. I am in you to enable you to endure all the contradictions of your foes. There is no lawyer greater than your heavenly counselor. I shall put all the devil's prosecutors to shame. The truth can only be contradicted with words. The outcome of the contradiction has no effect. You can do nothing against the truth but for the truth. I am for you. Now who can be against you?

 

 

#85

Look to my credibility and cease looking at your own. All have sinned and come short of the glory of God. I have demonstrated the power of the gospel in the earth in many lives. Be not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth. In the gospel of Christ, the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith. The just shall live by faith. The righteousness of God is manifested without the law. The righteousness of God is by the faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all those that believe. There is no difference. I am not a respecter of persons, for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.

You are justified freely by my grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. Christ was set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past through the forbearance of God. This was done to declare his righteousness that he might be just and the justifier of those who believe in Jesus. This gave no space for anyone to boast. The law of faith has excluded boasting; therefore, contradict the accuser of the brethren with your confession of faith, and hold fast to it without wavering.

 

 

#86

The dispute of the enemy cannot stand against my righteousness. You have received remission of sins through baptism in my name. I have declared you righteous and adorned you with a robe of righteousness. I am the Lord, your righteousness, that lives inside of you. You are pitched inside and outside with the righteousness of God. You will not drown in this flood of accusations. I have given you faith and grace to endure this contradiction of foes. Exhaustion shall not prevail. The hand of the enemy shall not deny you access to my promises. I have brought you manna from heaven. During a time of famine, you have plenty. The hearing of the words of God has dropped down like rain. Eat the bread of your profession, and confess what I have said unto you. The enemy cannot resist this testimony. Each time the enemy opens his mouth against you, he contradicts himself. His self-contradiction is his own downfall. My rebuttal has silenced the response of the enemy's confrontation. Without an argument, I have justified you. Now who is it that will condemn you?

 

 

#87

Do not allow your human knowledge to rule in your heart and mind today. A very subtle enemy has been sent as a spiritual general against you. You are no match for the wiles of this enemy using intuition and experience as the foundation for judgment. If you lean to your own understanding, you will only glimpse the victory you could have experienced. Your own understanding will only foster suspicion that will impress your mind with trees of knowledge. These trees of knowledge that come from the seeds of suspicion will only create forests of unknown and unwanted fruit. Your practical knowledge is insufficient. It will only create a curtain for the enemy to hide behind. Human knowledge cannot make you aware of spiritual things. Lean on me, and listen for my voice. I am the Author of your being. I am all-wise, all-powerful, and all-knowing.

I am the head of this foe. He uses the unknown as a skillful tool to conceal direction and simplicity. Do not allow self-confidence to mask your mind. Wear not that mask, which leads to a spiritual ambush. The power of redemption is working on your behalf. I have saved you by grace, and I am keeping you by grace. You must trust me and not lean to your own understanding. Man's own understanding can become a secret place for your enemy to hide. Allow not your own understanding to become a secret path for a spiritual ambush. I resist the proud and give grace to the humble; therefore, walk through the secured door of humility, and you will close off the back stairs of pride.

 

 

#88

I am exposing this enemy and leading you around the pitfalls in your path. The enemy may lie in ambush and conceal himself behind the veil of the unknown, but I am your refuge, a sanctuary of peace. I am not your last resort. I am your only resort in the war against principalities and powers. These spirits are rulers of the darkness of this world. Make your home in my grace as you enter through the door of humility. My grace is sufficient for you.

A diversion has been created. You are not a fugitive; therefore, do not allow suggestions in the spirit realm to lure you into the enemy's loophole. I do not need a loophole. I am God, and I am the light. Walk in the light, and look not for a diversion through the unknown. My sheep know and hear my voice. Hear the voice of confidence in God, and be not sealed inside of trouble through the doors of ignorance. Allow ignorance to be simple backgrounds that you ignore. Leave these backgrounds to me. I understand them. You see through a glass, darkly. There is no film over my eyes. Remember, I know all things.

The suspense that you feel has not perplexed me. Place your trust in me completely, and this enemy will not embarrass you. The sword of embarrassment is drawn. Do not search for its origin or its direction, for that is merely a leap in the dark. Give me your heart, mind, soul, and spirit, and be not entangled by your words. Simply trust in me. I am faithful. I have halted the swing of the pendulum that has swung before your face. Place not your hand to it to stabilize it. You will only increase its swing, for doubt shall unsettle the balance.

I have given you the faith to rely on my faithfulness. Faith is not leading you to trust in doubtful meanings and uncertain expressions. I have not sent you riddles and puzzles this morning. I have extended the hand of God to guide you. Now follow me as I show you what is on the other side of the unknown. A dark glass is not your mirror of direction. The way through this ambush is past your comprehension. It is beyond the depth of your knowledge and understanding. The seal of secrecy is known of me; therefore, trust me. The unknown has no secrecy and no privacy in my presence. Hide yourself in my presence. The fullness of joy is your bed. Rest in me.

 

 

#89

I have given you a tree of life. Eat the fruit of this tree, and you will have spiritual nourishment. The strength derived from this tree is necessary in your walk. Follow not the spiritual invalids of the age. They are not able to focus on the priority of life. Being without strength, they are no longer focused on me as their first love. They have become invalids in spiritual convalescent homes. You cannot eat from the devil's table and my table. No man can serve two masters. You will love one and hate the other. Some say that they love me with their mouths and stretch forth their hands and rob me in tithes and offerings. Righteousness is far from them, for they are thieves. The unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God. Be not deceived, neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. They have chosen to walk after the flesh and journey to the pit of corruption. Corruption shall not inherit incorruption.

The works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like. Those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. I have washed and sanctified them, but they returned to the wallow and their pits. I justified them in my name and by my Spirit, yet they counted this an unholy thing. Now they are handicapped and counted with the shut-in. Their spiritual wheelchair cases do not give glory unto my name. Do not join the bedridden at the table of my enemy. With their mouths, they say they are my friends. By their actions, they profess that they hate me. They honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Go and declare the power of the cross. Those who are mine have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If you are not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, then why do you deny its power to enable you to live in the Spirit?

 

 

#90

If you are not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, why are you not ashamed to live ungodly?

Go and preach repentance. The tree of life is in your midst. Invite the invalids who have been misled by the voices of corrupt spirits to come and eat genuine fruit. Invite them to eat the fruit of the tree where strength is found. Invite them to eat the fruit of love again and then will they have strength to obey me. Invite them to eat the fruit of joy again and then will they have strength to worship me in spirit and in truth. Invite them to eat the fruit of peace again and then will they have strength to forgive. Invite them to eat the fruit of longsuffering again and then will they have strength to be patient with others. Invite them to eat the fruit of gentleness again and then will they have strength to be sensitive to the needs of others and compassionate toward all. Invite them to eat the fruit of goodness again and then will they have strength to be honest and upright in all things. Invite them to eat the fruit of faith again and then will they have strength to believe that all things are possible. Invite them to eat the fruit of meekness again and then will they have strength to be submissive and modest. Invite them to eat the fruit of temperance again and then will they have strength to restrain themselves and exercise self-control in all things.

The fruit of life has been made available. The vehicle of grace is waiting on all who repent and submit themselves. Heavenly attendants are waiting to assist those who desire nourishment and nutriments from on high. The strength of the living word from the tree of life shall supply energy, vigor, and health to all that come. Go and say, "Rise and be strengthened. Rise and be healed."

 

 

#91

Iniquity is abounding as a storm blanketing the earth. The people of the earth will lose their ability to love because of this cold storm. The love of many is waxing colder than ever before. I have brought you grace to endure unto the end. Grace brought you to the kingdom, and grace shall keep you in the kingdom. Man cannot remove you from my kingdom. I bought you with my blood and my sufferings. I did not bring you this far to lose you because of man's concept of my word. You are being persecuted because of the word. Be not offended, for I have told you this would happen. This is for my name's sake; therefore, gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Stand having your loins girt about with the truth. You are not wrestling against flesh and blood. You are wrestling against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Take unto you the whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand in this evil day. Having done all to stand, stand having your loins girt about with the truth and having on the breastplate of righteousness. Shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace. Above all, take the shield of faith wherewith you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Rhema of God. Pray always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit. Watch with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. I will give you the utterance of Rhema that you may open your mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel.

Despise not the restraints that you feel. They are protecting you. I will call on you to speak then speak boldly as you ought to speak. Remember, the love of many is waxing colder. The power lines of love are out in many places. Mighty trees are falling in this hour because they have been covered with sleety love. Their lights are going out, and gross darkness is affecting the eyesight of many. This icy deluge has influenced their hearts, and their voices now speak without clear direction. The broadcasts of their messages are not clear. They are confused and too proud to admit their errors in judgment. They continue to speak with forked tongues from double minds. I will cancel their flights to heaven because the conditions of their hearts leave them unprepared for the flight of consuming fire.

 

 

#92

The storm of cold love is causing many tragedies among the people. Many are dumping their cold love on others, making the journey hazardous for the pilgrims. The cold fights among brethren are canceling the salvation of souls. Do not travel these roads. You cannot travel them without casualties. The hot waters of revival will cease among them. The cold love of the hour will foster forms of godliness with no power, for I will not join them in their war against each other. Fight not with them, and resist not their evil plots. Do not cancel your flight to heaven to engage in selfish conflicts among proud men.

I am reaching for your hand this morning. Give me your heart, and your hands will submit to my way. I have grace to give you. The prophets inquired and searched diligently for what I have given you. They prophesied of the grace that I am extending unto you today. You have prophesied with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven. Though men reject the ministry within you, challenge them not. You have nothing to prove. I will confirm the truth of my calling. Pass the time of your sojourning here in fear. I am not a respecter of persons.

 

 

#93

Words and schemes are afflicting you. Some words are meant to kill you and your ministry. Hatred is spewing, and offenses are rampant. Many are being offended, and many are betraying one another. Many hate one another. The sorrows of the age announce the approaching of the skyline of heaven and of hell. Do not be offended in me because you are reproached for the Rhema of God. You are blessed; therefore, be not a reed shaken by this cold wind. Warm by the sword of the Spirit. Its fire will light your path. Its flame shall keep your heart from the frostbite of the age. Its light shall be your refuge. Put up your sword to defend yourself. If you live by it, you will perish by it. I brought you to this place to live and give life. Will you halt here to bite with others?

Cease defending yourself and the truth of the spirit of prophecy that is within you. It will speak and stand for itself. Go preach the living word. It will not fail. Abraham believed in my voice. Now you believe in it, and the righteousness imputed shall make your prayers effectual. I am your defense. I am your counselor. Accept my counsel unto you today. You are not alone. Only believe.

 

 

#94

The name of the LORD is a strong tower. The righteous run into it and are safe. There is no force that can penetrate the strong tower of my name. Run into my name and dwell there. I have given you my name as a place of refuge from the storm of iniquity, principalities and powers, and every evil force. Be not disturbed by the things around you or the things that have come against you. There is stability in my name. Though the things around you are unsettled and confused, my name is not a revolving tower that is turned because of the restlessness and confusion outside of it.

Rest in my name. There is no war inside of the tower of my name. There is peace here. All the wars are from without. Fight not the unseen forces that you hear. They all have significance. Leave the gravity of these things to me. Go and allow the gift in you to speak. The gift has made room for you. Now do not take the detour designed by adversity. You had turned unto the open roads along man's detour. I have redirected your path and brought you to the plain path of my name. The fights among brethren are plentiful. They continually bite and devour one another. The enemy does not need to attack them. They are destroying one another.

Many are motivated by pride. They contend to be the greatest. Go and serve others then will you please me and find great rewards. Look into the distance along the by-pass from love. Behold the war among brethren. Behold how senseless the deaths of great men. Behold how many are slain by their own swords as they slay their brothers. Behold the enemy importing pride. Behold the enemy importing the lust for power. Behold the subtle weapons of greed being imported and smuggled in hearts of covetousness. All these things are being done in my name. Come and follow me, and I will lead you away from this by-pass.

 

 

#95

Your help is not in your own defense. Your help is not in the politics of men. Your help is in the name of the LORD who made heaven and earth. Place your trust in me. I made the heavens. I made the waters. Praise the name of the LORD. I commanded and the heavens and the waters were created. I stablished them forever. I made a decree, which shall not pass. You have run to my name. My name alone is excellent, for my glory is above the earth and heaven.

Build not a tower yourself, or you will only own another Babel. Build not a strong city made out of man's wealth, or you will only own walls made out of your own conceit. Be not haughty, for you will only invite destruction unto your bosom. Allow not arrogance to seduce you. Arrogance comes in many fashions. Adorn yourself in humility, and arrogance will not find you in the tower of grace. I have called you to honor you. Before honor is humility. A proud man chooses to receive a wounded spirit. A humble man is strong enough in grace to defend against a wounded spirit. Who can bear a wounded spirit?

Refrain yourself from this foolish war, and allow the gift within you to make room for you. It will bring you before great men. The truly great men of the age are not in the war along the by-pass. The by-pass is filled with offended brethren. A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city. Their contentions are like the bars of a castle. Cast down your bars of contention, and pick up peace. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God. Those who are mine will not kill, nor destroy good names. Behold the name of the LORD, and trust in it. It is your rock. It is your shield. A fortress has been supplied for you. Here is safety. Dwell in the name of the LORD.

 

 

#96

I have heard the cry of my people. They have called on the name of the LORD, and they shall be delivered. I have called them, and they have responded. I am good and ready to forgive. I am plenteous in mercy unto them that call upon me. You have prayed, and I have answered. I have spoken direct utterances in your hearing. I have chosen you to bear my name before many and to preach the living word. Be not weary in well doing. Do not faint. I have sent help and understanding. Your strength shall increase, and your words shall confound the adversaries. Go preach Jesus, and worry not about those who seek to destroy you.

A heavenly visitation will be given to you. This experience will change you forever, and a new boldness in preaching shall spring forth. You will preach in the name of Jesus boldly. Though you preach in the name of Jesus, those who bear my name will persecute you. There are many that wear my name but despise my word. They despise prophecy. The evident token of your blessedness is manifest through their hatred and separating you from their company. They reproach you and cast out your name as evil for my sake, for I have sent you.

Rejoice during this time of persecution. Leap for joy. Your reward is great in heaven, for in like manner did men unto the prophets. Many love the praises of men more than the praise of God. They will not risk being cast out of their sanctuaries. The spirit of deception will cause them to think that they are doing me service by destroying you. Fear not. You are being marked for my blessing. Though they think they are branding you for evil, you are being stamped for my benefit.

 

 

#97

You were not looking for me when I was made manifest unto you. You were seeking stardom and attempting to make a name for yourself. I have called you to magnify my name. Those who magnify it shall suffer for it. Call upon it today. I will grant you more grace and peace. Offer thanks for the grace of God that is given to you that in everything you are enriched by me, in all utterance and in all knowledge. I will confirm the testimony of Christ in you so that you come behind in no gift.

I am coming soon. Pray for those who persecute you and say all manner of evil against you. The name of the LORD has become a guide and a specific direction for you. I have authorized you to use my name. This authorization will not fail. Spirits recognize you. My name is a means of recognition. Open your mouth, and point my name in the direction before you. It is a bright light before you.

The spirits that have withstood you must bow at my name. You are authorized to use my name. Speak and these spirits will obey you. They are subject to you in my name. My name is a tower of strength. Walk in the path of righteousness for my name's sake. You are fortified and preserved in this stronghold. The King of the tower has stretched forth his arm to fend for you. My right hand keeps the opposition away from you. Now be fully confident that the hand of the Lord will beat off all foes.

 

 

#98

Look not for the limelight of religious politics. The legal representatives of religious zealots will slay you for a spot before one another in their moments of fleshly glory. If you must slay someone's name to assure that you remain exalted, then I did not exalt you. He who exalts himself shall be abased. He who abases himself shall be exalted. Humble yourself under my mighty hand. Submit yourself to me then resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

The accuser of the brethren is a ruthless prosecutor. I have taken the stand on your behalf. I am the Faithful Witness. I am in you to give my own testimony for you. I am present to give the testimony of Jesus Christ on behalf of those redeemed by precious blood and forgiven of their sins. The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. If you cast aside the spirit of prophecy, how will you hear my testimony?

I know that you are guilty and so is every man. Who is he that is without sin?

Throw down your stones, for all have sinned and come short of my glory. Whosoever judgest another, condemnest himself and is inexcusable, for he that judgest, doest the same things. My judgment is according to truth against all that commit such things. Do you think that if you judge them, which do such things and you do the same, that you will escape the judgment of God?

Desire mercy for others, and allow not hardness of heart to become a rocky treasure for you. You will only take unto yourself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of my righteous judgment when I render to every man according to his deeds. Do not obey unrighteousness, indignation, and wrath. I am against all that do evil, and there is no respect of persons with me.

I am the righteous defender, but I will not take the cases of those that do evil and destroy others. Render good for evil. Allow your great trial of affliction to be unto my glory. In your trials, the abundance of joy should abound unto the riches of liberality. In your trials, take upon yourself the fellowship of the ministering to the saints. They are in need. They are hurting. They are in heaviness. Teach them to greatly rejoice so that the trial of their faith, which is much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise, honor, and glory at my appearing. I desire to see my people rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory, receiving the end of their faith even the salvation of their souls.

Listen to the complaining spirits among the people. They think that their trials are strange. They are inexperienced as they are being engaged in the fiery trials of the last days. Teach them to rejoice and not think of their fiery trials as strange. They have come to try them and prepare them to be glad with exceeding joy when I come. The fiery trials are to purge and to make them white. Their trials prepare them for good works. Every man's work shall be made manifest. The fire of God shall try every man's work of what sort it is. I know the way that they take. I am trying my people, and many shall come forth as gold. Look unto my word, and do not go back from the commandment of my lips. Esteem the words of my mouth more than your necessary food. My word will assure that you will be refined. Despise not the furnace of affliction and persecution. The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold.

I am trying the hearts of my people in the fire. I will refine them, and I will bring them through the fire. I am the refiner and the purifier. Glory in tribulation, knowing that tribulation worketh patience; and patience, experience; and experience, hope; and hope maketh not ashamed because the love of God is shed abroad in your hearts by the Holy Ghost.

Love will cause you to believe all things. Believe that I am the author and the finisher. I have begun a good work in you. I will perform it. I commended my love toward you while you were a sinner. My love will assure that you will be saved from wrath because you are justified by my blood. Take the witness stand and offer a good confession. Fear not. I reconciled you to myself by the death of the Son. Now that you are reconciled, much more, I will save you in your trials by the life of the Son. Count all these things joy, knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. Let patience have her perfect work that you may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. Rejoice. The fire and furnace of your tribulation shall not destroy you. You shall come forth like gold.

I am the author and the finisher of your faith. Look unto me. Set my joy before you, and you will endure your cross. The threat of shame shall not silence your faith. Continue looking unto me. I have taken your hand in my hand. Lay aside your weights and besetting sins, and run with patience the race that is set before you. I will not cast you aside, neither will I help evil doers. I will fill your mouth with laughing and your lips with rejoicing. Everyone who hates you shall be clothed with shame, and their dwelling place shall come to naught. I have taken up the cause against you. I will fight against that which is unjust. I am your shield and your buckler. My spear is against your foes. I have shut up the way of those that persecute you, for I am your salvation. Your foes shall be confounded and put to shame. They shall be turned back and brought to confusion. They shall be as chaff before the wind, and the angel of the Lord shall chase them. Their way shall be dark and slippery. The angel of the Lord shall persecute them. Though men hide their nets for you in a pit and dig for your soul, they shall be ashamed and brought to confusion. I will clothe them with shame and dishonor that magnify themselves against you. Confusion shall cover them as a mantle.

I stand at the right hand of the poor to save them from those that condemn their soul. You have sought me in truth. I will give you understanding that you may keep my commandments. I have turned away reproach and granted you victory in the face of darkness and cruel judgment. In this trial, you have bought gold tried in the fire that you may be rich and clothed with white raiment. The shame of your nakedness shall not appear, and your eyes are anointed with eye salve so that you may see.

Stand fast in the faith, and believe with all your heart that your old man is crucified with me, and the body of sin is destroyed so that you do not serve sin. You are dead with me because of baptism and freed from sin. You are crucified with Christ, but you live. It is not you that is living, but Christ is living in you. Christ is living his life out in you; therefore, you may walk in his steps, for grace has abounded on your behalf. Do not frustrate this mighty grace. I have given you righteousness because of faith. Righteousness has set you in the way of my steps and exalted you out of the snare of self-righteousness.

 

 

 

 

 

Jeremiah 15:16

Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.
