I called you out of an occupation that you loved. You were comfortable in your profession. Every step of this new way is known of me. If you had wholly followed me, you would have already possessed much of the blessing in the divine design for you. You strayed from faith many times and took the paths of unbelief and doubt. I did not allow you to wander too far before grace led you back to the right way. Continue to allow me to be the decision maker for you. Too much of self has entered into your travels. Abandon your trust in self, and lean on me. My understanding started you on your journey. Will you finish the journey leaning on your own understanding?

The fulfillment of the promises made to you is achieved by faith. You did not doubt me when I called you. I have blessed you. Now do not doubt me after I have blessed you. Go and be a blessing. Others will bless you. Those who curse you will be cursed, for that is the promise to Abraham and his children of faith. Fear should be a stranger to you because you abide in the bosom of love. An enemy is shooting fiery darts of fear at all of my people. Go and declare the love of God that casts out fear. If you entertain fear, you will be enticed to obey its compromising offers. The offers of compromise contain unseen enemies and unwanted sorrows. Beware of gifts from the hands of compromise. Compromise's gifts will obligate your affections and cause you to stumble at commitment. Look to love, and embrace it. The power to walk through fear's intimidation and offers of compromise is resident in love. If you walk in love, the feet of faith will carry you through every plague and every trial. I speak to you with the voice of love. Now be fully persuaded of love's intent and its promises.

#202

I have settled every argument that you have with the evil one even his arguments that he has with you over your shortcomings and failures. My cross and my blood are the payment for all that you have done. I did not simply pay for your way out of darkness, but I paid for all your debts, sicknesses, and sins. Be not a slave to either of these, for I have paid for them. They are paid for. Now rest in full assurance. I have paid for these things, and they cannot bind you and keep you from the blessings of Abraham. I delivered Israel from Egyptian captivity. Do you think that they all had done well?

I delivered them because I loved them, not because they were perfect. Allow not your failures and your shortcomings to be the bars that keep you in debt and sickness. I have made a way through these things. The Red Sea did not bar the children of Israel from Canaan land. The laws of nature did not stop them from going over on dry land; neither shall the laws of the creditors prevent you from that which I will freely give you. Be assured in the faith of Jesus Christ. I have not rewarded you according to your transgressions and your sins, but according to my lovingkindness, I have rewarded you. Compare my lovingkindness to your troubles. Are the two equivalents?

According to my lovingkindness, I stretch forth the hand of deliverance and bring you out by my mighty hand of redemption and grace. Grace has leaped to your defense. Love has stretched forth the rod of its demand, and the mouth of all power has spoken on your behalf. Lift up your confidence from the bed of tears and sorrows. Lift up your eyes from the voice of the world's judgment. The decrees of the judges of the world do not have the final word on behalf of those who are mine.

The river of Jordan roared and extended out of its banks. The word of their impossibility came into the hearts of those who sought a way through its waters. I disallowed the waters and backed them up while my people crossed over on dry land. I am the same Lord and the same God. Refuse to be intimidated by the voices of impossibility's army. They shout, and they rage, but their voices do not determine the outcome of things. I am the head of all principalities and all powers. I have spoken to the principalities and the powers. They have bowed before you in times past. Now behold them as they bow again at the voice of my power.

#203

Cease your struggle to understand the way of the world and its system. Even if you understood it, fright would be the expression of your emotions. Look to me, the God of your salvation, and behold the hand of peace in the face of this negative report. I am the God of your salvation and the God of all your circumstances. Circumstances are not puzzles without solutions. They are problems to be solved by the God of answers. Is anything too hard for me?

Press through these things and unto praise. Your praise shall be your ram in the thicket of the Lord's preparation. Cause your ram to sound the call of its offer. Allow not the ram of praise to be silent, but allow it to bellow the victory of its purpose. (Bellow, roar, call, trumpet, bugle, cry, yell)

Your praise is your ram. Bring it out of the thicket, and offer it upon the altar of worship. Worship from the foundation of your love for me. I have strengthened your foundations of love. Stand on this revived foundation of love, and offer sacrifices well pleasing unto me. Refuse to worship from the foundation of feelings and emotions. They are temporal. Worship from the revived foundation of love. I have revived love in you. You can now love me as I have commanded, for I have given you the desire, the sufficiency, the ability, and the motivation. Worship the Lord, your God. I am good, and my mercy endures forever. Worship and praise the King of your life today. By me, offer the sacrifices of praise continually, that is, the fruit of your lips offering thanks unto the name of Jesus.

#204

Magnify my glorious name. You know that the name of Jesus is the name above all names. You know that the name of Jesus is the family name. Magnify the name of the ruling family. My family rules in the earth today. I have set up an everlasting kingdom. The increase of my government and peace has no ending. There is no crisis in my government. There is no accuser who can stand and lay any charge to my elect. Place your debts in my hands, and the water of redemption shall dissolve them. Place your sins before my throne, and the scepter of righteousness shall exonerate you. Behold the wave of exoneration as it clears you of all charges in the presence of the evil prosecuting attorney of the air, the accuser of the brethren. He has preached his doctrine of condemnation and read his accusations in your ears and mine. Now will I tear up his script, and preach the doctrine of holy blood in his ears. Hear the voice of my blood as it speaks better things in his ears and yours. I proclaim a new version of your verdict. The only one who can edit my orders has edited it. Because I can swear by no other, I have sworn by myself. Now behold the orders for your deliverance. These orders come from on high. Now hear the orders of the Lord, "Be thou made free." Doubt not, for whom I make free, is free indeed.

#205

I know of all your transgressions and sins, yet my love for you has reached beyond the mark where you have landed. You have missed the mark of righteousness. You have fallen short. All have sinned and come short of my glory. Go and declare this word that I have given you, for many will be there tonight who are bound by condemnation and failure. Go and loose them with this word that I give unto you now. Allow me to touch you that you may behold the frustrations within the people. The guilt that many are bearing is more than they can bear. They have heaped upon themselves condemnation after condemnation. I desire to free them to serve me, the Living God. I desire to turn them from serving dead works unto serving me, the Eternal God. Though they have missed the mark, I have not marked them for condemnation and destruction. I have placed them in a new lineage, the lineage of Jesus Christ. An enemy has sought to distract them from liberty and direct them unto the scales of self-righteousness. Go and say this: "I have not sought you to destroy you, but I have sought you to give you life. As Noah found grace in my sight, so have you found grace in my eyes. In Christ Jesus, you are complete. The church is an ark of safety for the salvation of your souls."

#206

Be not afraid of the voice of the Lord that is speaking unto you. It is I, the Lord Jesus, who speaks with clarity in the midst of this flood of condemnation. I have placed you in an ark of grace that shall carry you through this present flood. I have counted you righteous by faith. I have granted you more grace to walk with me in the presence of the mockers of the day. The idolaters of the age shall not turn you from me. Grace has embraced you and raised you higher than the voices of condemnation. Do not drown with the temples of condemnation. I have not chosen you unto the wrath that they are inheriting. You are an inheritor of grace. Grace shall make you an overcomer who is more than a conqueror. I have completed your ark of grace. Though the broad way is filled with travelers, be not discouraged because you walk in the narrow way. The ark of grace travels in a different path. This ark is on course for a heavenly target. I have not targeted pits and corruption as your lot, but I have targeted mansions built for your inheritance.

Come now, and I will show you the glory of living with me in these last days. Follow my spirit, and lean not to your own understanding. The flood of evil is not meant to destroy you, but the flood of evil is consuming the ungodly. You are not chosen unto wrath, but you are chosen unto eternal salvation. The seas of life are stormy for those who are uncertain of their relationship with me, but to those who have found me, the Prince of peace, rest is their reward. Be not afraid in this stormy time. Fear not the rocky paths all about you. There are special shoes for your feet and precious promises for you to embrace. I am in control of the wind. I am in control of the storm. I am in control of all your circumstances. The author of your troubles cannot shake my strong arms of salvation from your heart. Instead of holding on with your hands, hold on with your hearts. Give me your heart, and your hands will follow. An enemy has diverted your mind to the things in this life. Set your affections on things above then will your heart be established where eternal treasures abide.

#207

I am sending you a message of deliverance and hope today. Receive the precious promises of liberty today. It is time to possess the things promised you rather than making the journey with flesh to conquer earthly kingdoms. If my kingdom were of this world, I would fight and win it back. My kingdom is not of this world. If you seek to conquer earthly kingdoms, you will be as Nimrod. I have not sent you to build earthly desires, but I have sent you to seek and find those who are lost. While your minds are obsessed with earthly things, the lost lie at your feet dead in trespasses and sins. In your heart, you possess the words of life that will make them live. Speak the word of faith in your hearts, and declare the freedom of my blood in the ears of the dead. As I scattered the people at the Tower of Babel, I am gathering the people unto Christ. I am not babbling, but I am proclaiming the glorious words of hope and salvation.

Be not dismayed by the world of confusion all about you, but be confident of the truth that is in you. I have placed my body, the church, in the midst of a wicked and perverse generation. Though you view yourselves helpless, view me as your help. Consider not your own bodies and your own abilities. Be strong in faith, and give total glory to me. I have called you by name and brought you out of darkness into this marvelous light of truth and freedom. As you look at the task before you, you cannot fathom the way I am going to accomplish the task. Simply have confidence in me. Be fully persuaded that what I have promised, I will perform. You have considered your adversaries. You have considered yourselves, but I say, "Have you considered me?"

How many times have I asked you if I could lie?

Is it possible for me to lie?

Have you derived your faith from human goals, or have you derived your faith from my words spoken aforetime?

#208

Many are ignorant of the promises to Abraham. How will you know your own promises if you do not know what I promised Abraham?

Abraham is the father of faith. If you are the children of faith, then learn of Abraham's ways and Abraham's God. If you are Christ's, then are you Abraham's seed and heirs according to the promises. What are the promises?

Go and learn of the fundamental truths common to an heir then will you cease your religious struggles to fight off the vultures of condemnation and failure. The vultures shall not eat your sacrifices of praise. The vultures of condemnation shall not prevail against those who have presented their bodies as living sacrifices, holy and acceptable unto me. I have taken your bondage for you. There is no need for a Hagar. There is no need for an Ishmael. There is no need for an Egyptian captivity. There is no need for a 400-year wait on the promises. There is no need for another Joseph. There is no need for another Moses. Greater than Joseph is here. Greater than Moses is here. Christ is here. Be strong in faith, and give me all glory. Christ has already come. Now awaken unto the promises that are within him.

Be not frustrated because of the words of the bond spirit of the hour. I have given you the spirit of Christ, and now you are mine. Come and celebrate Christ in you, the hope of glory. "Celebrate," I say. Have you learned to celebrate, or are you skilled in the art of mourning for your dead dreams and idols of your heart?

Send these things away from your heart, and celebrate your God. I will give you a new relationship with me, and the promises given the children of the covenant shall become real and clear. Celebrate the God of the new covenant. What is my name?

Go and give the glory due my name.

#209

You are living in the last days. The day of the Lord approaches with speed. There is no time for slumber. The exceeding riches of my grace are given to you, and now all things are possible because of this great grace. Lift your eyes unto me, and trust in me with all your heart. I have not come to destroy men's lives. I have come to save them. This so great salvation is active in the earth today. Salvation is not simply a word in your vocabulary, but salvation is the Lord, your God, living inside of you by the power of the resurrection while he supplies justification, sanctification, and redemption.

Look to the blood of the Lamb this morning, and fret not because of the evil report from the accuser of the brethren. I have brought you the report of the blood this morning. It speaks better things than the blood of Abel and all others that have died. Look to me, and behold the mercy of the Lord that I am showing you today. Behold the reflection of mercy this morning. Its reflection is manifesting an image of safety and freedom. Mercy has loosed you from the pains of death and the jaws of the grave. Be freed in your mind today, and cease your worrying about the things that you cannot control. Be full of faith and new confidence. I have heard your cry. That which has been disallowed has now become an effectual door for you. Nothing can be done against the truth but for the truth. That which has been adverse shall now be a defense for you. Your adversaries shall now stand up and speak on your behalf. The door of hindrance is now the door of access, and the well of drought shall now become an overflowing stream.

Look to me, the author of your faith. I am the beginning and the ending. Behold the hand of the finisher now. I will show you the power of the designer as the finisher brings his touch to these things that have appeared distasteful in your sight. Behold the finishing touches of the Lord. That which was ugly in your sight shall now become beautiful. The door of temptation shall now close, and the door of mystery shall open. Behold the door of mystery. Its secret is revealed by the Spirit. I have allowed this door of mystery to hide your riches from your enemies. Be not mystified by this door. I will reveal that which is necessary. This door shall be as a proverb to your adversaries, but to you, it shall be an evident truth of simplicity. Your eyes have been touched so that you might understand its mystery. As you worship at this door, the key of praise shall transport you to the inner sanctuary behind this door. This is not a riddle. This is the secret place.

#210

Abide in the secret place that I have brought you unto, and hide yourself under my wings. The things that have sought to destroy you shall not find you here. The evil of this world shall not sin against my innocent blood that covers you. You will not be slain as you abide in my presence. The evil spirits that have pursued you shall now trouble your enemies. Only through the window of my love, shall you behold the flying javelins of trouble. You shall sleep in peace, and rest upon the bed of truth. Here in the sanctuary of mystery, you shall rest and grow.

The truth of the gospel and the refuge of holiness have become mighty ways of deliverance. You have embraced them; therefore, have you escaped the pollution that is in the world by lust. You called upon me in your distress. You cried unto me, the Lord, your God. I heard your voice out of my temple. Your cry came before me. It came unto my ears. I answered you. Now will I answer your adversaries. They shall shake and tremble. I will shake their foundations and remove their hills. They shall see the smoke from my nostrils, and the fire out of my mouth shall devour them. As in the days of old, I will also do in this day. I bowed the heavens and came down. Darkness was under my feet. I rode upon a cherub and flew. I flew upon the wings of the wind and made darkness my secret place. I thundered in the heavens and gave my voice hailstones and coals of fire. I sent out my arrows and scattered the enemies. I shot out lightnings and discomforted them.

Behold the fireworks of the Lord from the secret place. Look out of the window of love, and behold the fireworks of God. Stand in the window of love, and sing aloud unto God, your strength. Make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob. Sing a psalm. Sing a new song, and bring the timbrel and the tambourine. This is the time appointed to rejoice. Though you do not understand the language of trouble, rejoice in its face.

#211

You are in the sanctuary of love, my secret place. In this sanctuary, your shoulder is removed from your burdens, and your hands are delivered from the filthy pots of scorched condemnation. I have delivered you and answered you in the secret place of thunder. Out of the secret place of thunder, my lightning goes forth to destroy that which has been against you. You are dwelling in the secret place of the most High. You are abiding under the shadow of the Almighty. In this place, I am your refuge and your fortress.

Trust in me. You are delivered from the snare of trouble and from the epidemic of poverty. I have covered you with my feathers, and under my wings, do you trust. Under my shadow, truth is your shield and your buckler. My shadow is a terrible defense. Be not afraid for the terror by night or for the arrows that fly by day. The pestilence that is walking in darkness is exposed by the light of my countenance. Destruction is wasted even in the noonday of its expected victory.

Look out of the window of love, and behold the thousands falling by the side of the righteous. Behold the tens of thousands falling by the right hand of the just. Look at your side. Behold the secret atmosphere all about you. Remain here, and nothing evil will come nigh you. Only with your eyes will you behold and see the reward of the wicked. You have made me your refuge and your habitation. Where is the evil that threatened to befall you?

Where is the plague that sought to come nigh your dwelling?

You have entered the secret place, and angels attend unto you because I have given them charge over you to keep you in all your ways. Behold the hands of the angels. They have power to bear you up in their hands and prevent the dashing of your feet against the stones of trouble. Rise up in praise, and tread upon the lions and serpents. Rise up in praise, and trample the lions and dragons under your feet. I have set my love upon you. You know my name and called upon it; therefore, have I delivered you. In trouble, I was with you. Now behold the peace beyond understanding and trouble. Herein is the power of my salvation. Shout: THE SECRET PLACE, THE SECRET PLACE, THE SECRET PLACE.

#212

May 6, 2003

In the time of trouble, you are hid in my pavilion. I have hidden you in the garden house, the secret of my tabernacle. In the secret of my tabernacle, I have hidden you upon the rock of revelation. Your head is not cast down, but it is lifted up above your enemies that stand round about you. Offer the sacrifices of joy in your body, the tabernacle door of secrecy. Sing unto me. Sing the new praises from the secret place of joy. Here in the secret place, you will discover the treasure of great goodness that is laid up for them that fear me. I have laid up great goodness for them that trust in me before the sons of men. I have hidden you in the secret of my presence from the pride of man. I am keeping you secretly in a garden house from the strife of tongues. I have shown you my marvelous kindness in a strong city of revelation. I am your hiding place, and I will preserve you from all trouble. Your ears are opened, and now can you hear songs of deliverance, for I have compassed you about with them. I say, "Songs of deliverance are revealed in your hearing." Hear these songs, for they shall instruct you and teach you in the way that you shall go.

It is my eye that is guiding you; therefore, follow without resistance. Be not as the horse or as the mule that have no understanding, whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle lest the enemy come near unto you. Many sorrows shall be to the wicked, but those who trust in me, mercy shall compass them about. Be glad in the secret place. Be glad in the Lord, your God. Rejoice and shout for joy all you that are upright in your hearts. My goodness endures continually. Abide in my goodness, and behold me silence the tongues of trouble. The tongues of trouble are as a sharp razor unto you. They have worked deceitfully and spoken with sword-like lies. Their devouring words have attempted to slay you. Their deceitful tongues have sought you out, but now the righteous shall see and laugh at them, for you have made me, your God, your strength.

#213

Many trust in the abundance of their own riches. They strengthen themselves in their own wickedness. In the house of God, you are like a green olive tree, for you trust in the mercy of God. In the house of God, I attend unto your prayers. Even when your heart is overwhelmed, you have the Rock that is higher than you are. I am a shelter for you, a strong tower from the enemy. Abide in my tabernacle, and trust in the cover of my wings. Become acquainted with your heritage. Those who fear my name have a heritage. Behold mercy and truth that preserve those who have this heritage.

I am your dwelling place. I am God. I have no beginning, and I have no ending. Before the mountains were brought forth or before the earth and the world were formed, even from everlasting to everlasting, I am God. In my sight, a thousand years are but as yesterday when it is past. A thousand years are as a watch in the night. I carry the years away as with a flood. They are as a sleep. In the morning, they are like grass that grows up. In the morning, it flourishes and grows up, but in the evening, it is cut down and withers. After all this, I remain what I am. I AM THAT I AM. I am your sanctuary but a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense to them that love me not, neither my name. I am your refuge, and I have loved you freely. I have turned away my anger and caused you to enter the secret place. Now shall I be as the dew unto you. You shall grow as the lily, and cast forth your roots as a mighty tree. Your branches shall spread, your beauty shall be as the olive tree, and you shall smell as a sweet flower. You shall dwell under my shadow, and I shall revive you as corn. You shall grow as the vine, and your scent shall be as the smell of new wine. Walk in praise and wisdom, for you have entered the secret place by way of the door of mystery.

#214

Fear not to trust the voice that speaks to you. This trust is part of your faith. Without trust in my voice, you will be lost. My sheep know my voice. They hear it and obey it. Trust me, for I will not allow you to be deceived. You will receive an angelic visitation that you might be assured of the direction to take. I will confirm that which I desire for you in the mouth of two witnesses. "Be not afraid," I say, for I am with you to do a work for my name's sake in these last days. Be not alarmed in the face of impossibilities or the things that you do not understand. Many times the impossibilities stand before you as you seek the will of God. Remember that the impossibilities are in your mind, not in my mind. It is only your view of things, for all things are possible with me. Nothing is too hard for me. I am with you; therefore, simply trust as a child, and believe this. I am with you even unto the end of the world.

You are blessed, for you are a child of God. All those around you shall call you blessed as you begin to be a blessing. The world will not know the blessing in you until you begin to bear the fruit for them. You have kept your blessing to yourselves long enough. Now rise, and bear fruit for those that I died for. The womb of the church is blessed and so is its fruit. Those who are called and chosen by me shall respond to you because of the divine foreordination upon them. Only believe.

Be not disturbed by the events in this period of time. All things must come to pass. They cannot come to pass unless you pass through time. Journey through time, and do not allow time's events to disturb you. You have eternal life dwelling in you. Though you produce creatures of time, you are eternal. Allow not the effects of temporal persuasions to intimidate you. You will prevail. I have sent angels to testify to many of the ministry on the way to them. Even ministers, await your arrival in the future; therefore, dwell not in the past. I am speaking to you of heavenly things. Many earthly people will not understand, but those appointed unto eternal life shall hear you.

#215

Worry not about your life in this world. I have already sealed you with the spirit of redemption. The earnest of your inheritance is in you. No one can take it from you. Believe the prophets, and know that the ways of the patriarchs were ordered of me. I have also ordered your steps. Now rise up, and walk in the paths of righteousness for my name's sake and not your own. From a child, you have been touched by the spirit of God. You could not miss this divine ordination because it was ordered of me. Will you miss the providence ahead of you?

Be about my business, and avoid many of the frustrations ahead of you. Walk in the paths of the kingdom and not in the paths of earthly cares. Continue to grow in grace, and you will also increase in wisdom and in favor with man. Give the grace that you grow in and then will you observe the vastness of the breadth, width, depth, and height of the grace working in your own life.

You have received much, and much is required of you. You have been isolated from the world. Move into the world, and make friends with sinners. Eat with them, and make friends with mammon, for the children of darkness are wiser than the children of the church. Allow not their lifestyles to affect you, but allow your salt and light to affect them.

You are the salt of the earth. Grace has filled you with savor. Your light is not under a bushel, for I have set you upon a hill uncovered and visible. Even in the wilderness, the light of the church is shining. Even in the valley, the light of redemption is a bright light of revealed knowledge. The voice of the church is not silenced by the loud voices from the world, but this voice is causing confusion among the voices of the world. I have confounded the devils in your path and left them without comprehension of your life and light. Continue to preach the gospel in every prescribed manner, for it is the power of God unto salvation. John preached in a wilderness, but you must preach to the world. Go and proclaim the good news in you.

#216

Regard not the clouds of the hour, and be not disturbed by the voices in your ears. Regard not the threat of violence, neither the dreams given by spirits. I am not affected by these things, neither should you be. I have not given you the lot of the unbeliever and dispelled you from my inheritance. I have opened my mouth and promised. Now the performance of the promises will come to pass. The vision of the spirit will not fail, neither will the hour of temptation be a strength too great for you. I have granted a way of escape that you might bear everything that comes. Lift up your voice in grateful praises, and regard not the effects upon your emotions. The things that have affected the atmosphere of the children of God are not from the substance of their hope, but these things are from the confusion of the darkness. Confusion has been sent to force you from the hope of glory. Do not allow it to buy your faith. Decide today not to sell your faith. Faith in me is worth a reward; therefore, cast not away your confidence. I am paying rewards for true faith and true confidence in me. Lean not to your own understanding. Lean on the arms that will never weaken. I have spent myself for you. Now believe unto the manifestation of the purchase for which I spent myself. The precious life that was spent cannot be counted worthless, and the precious blood that was shed cannot be cast into worthlessness. The blood of the covenant shall not be extracted from the design of redemption, and the promise of the covenant shall not be annulled. I have promised, and I will perform.

#217

Fear not the threats of failure and the slackness imagined by your mind. Your hope is not in vain. You are blessed, and you will not be ashamed. I am the difference, not your labor and striving. Strive no longer to maintain a difference in the situations that have arisen, but have faith in the completed work of my cross. My cross has not lost its power. The blood has not lost its power. The gospel has not come to the crossroads of your life and been turned away by these strategies in this time period. I am granting you liberty in the face of these things. Prepare for the victory of the cross, and cast the enemies' speculations far from you. Prepare for the miracles of the spirit and not for the fears projected by evil spirits of doubt and confusion. Allow your head to be my gate and your lips to be an avenue for praise. I have lifted you and brought you unto victory, not unto the valley of shame and defeat. Trust in me with all your heart, and lean not to your own understanding. Trust in my faithfulness. My word is sure, and my promises will not be revoked because of failure. Trust in the everlasting covenant and the promises of the God of the covenant. You will overcome and bring out many with the voice of your testimony.

#218

You have not come to the mountain of condemnation and judgment unto damnation, but you have come to the throne of grace and mercy. My desire is to grant you mercy so that grace might show forth its beauty and its victory. The victory of grace has vented a powerful swing against the enemy on your behalf. I have spoken in times past and told you of the incomprehensible expression of the resurrection on your behalf. The resurrection is love's expression on behalf of fallen man. You are no longer held by the consequences of your sins. The ashes of the fiery pit are not yours any longer. The enemy has conspired to feed you the ashes of the pit of damnation. Many have their mouths filled with the ashes of condemnation because this is what they have been fed. This is what many have desired to eat. The enemy has camouflaged ashes of condemnation and fabricated them as the empty bread of traditions. Regurgitate the bread of condemnation. Spew out the water of insincerity, and come bow down at the throne of fresh bread and new wine. From the throne of grace, I am serving the platters of life. My blood was not shed in vain, neither was my body offered for naught. The effectiveness of my offering is real and potent. The blessing of Christ is yours, but the enemy constantly conspires to beguile you by turning you away from the simplicity that is in Christ. Turn your mind from the intellect of religion, and allow the spirit of wisdom and revelation to show you of the plain path of the royal communion along the path of righteousness.

#219

You drew nigh to me this morning. Now believe that I have also drawn nigh to you. The blood of my offering has bridged the gap between you and me. There is no gap between my holiness and you any longer. You have access. You have freedom. You have true liberty. Now disallow the temptation to use your liberty as a cloak of unrighteousness. If your good is evil spoken of, then what profit is your liberty?

I have given you fresh bread. Break this bread open, and eat the bites available to you. Why go hungry when your table is filled with goodness?

Your appetites for pleasure will not be spoiled until you have denied yourself of the love of the world. How will you serve two masters?

Can you serve the god of the world and the Living God also?

You say you have no love of the world then why are you frustrated by the god of the world's tactics?

Don't you know that a little of his leaven will leaven a whole lump?

You cannot eat from the table of the world and the table of church. Throw down the things that you have picked up from the market of religion, and come eat the bitter herb of self-denial. You will never be my disciple until you have denied yourself, picked up your cross daily, and followed me. You are weary of the pit, but you are enjoying your pleasures of the world. Come to the long arms of salvation, and the resurrection will spoil the taste for the devil's delicacies. I am stretching forth the finger of God and casting out everything that is not like me in your life. Allow me the access to all of your heart, mind, soul, and strength, and I will give you an entranceway into the power of the gospel.

#220

You have desired the power of my name and my gospel without the cost of denial. The currency desired by me is not fashioned after the economics of your government but after the government of God. Give me the currency of affliction and suffering, and I will give you a relationship that cannot be counterfeited by the god of the world. Give me the currency of a love for me, and I will give you grace unto total obedience. A love for me is not possible without gold being tried in the fire of strange trials. The currency of love was not passed along as an exchange for a lesser merchandise. The economics of love is not learned in the halls of pleasure and self-gratification. The burning of the fiery trials of faith lends you spiritual economical lessons not taught in the seminaries of the day. Embrace the fire of love's torch, and you will be marked with the banner of obedience.

These words are not the offerings of a human mind. I have bypassed your mind and spoken to you in your heart. Open your heart to me, and give me the key to the secret chambers of earthly dreams. Your secret chambers will not be invaded by me although I know what is there. You must open them up with the key of your will and then will I enter in and turn the smoke of charred wishes unto living realities. I will take the vapor of poisoned desires and turn them into beautiful, godly intents. I will take the arduous odor of regret and neutralize it with the fragrance from my holy breath. I will take the disassembled parts of lost purpose and model a new vision of a regenerated purpose. Give me your hand of faith. Though it is withered because of the continual squeezing of confusion, I will restore it unto the activity of faith.

The life that is flowing unto you and in you has not ceased with a touch upon your hands, but your entire life has been ministered to by the words of life in your hearing. I have sent my word and healed you this morning. I have sent my word and called you forth from the tombs of frustration. My will is not to have you perish in the tombs of your enemies. My will has been done in heaven. Now it is being done in you. You will not perish in the hands of the cruel masters of illusions. You will not perish in the hands of spiritual regression. You will not perish in the hands of spiritual decay. I have brought you the restoration and placed it inside of you. Allow the reality of faith to surge through your spirit and then will your body follow the lead of that which has already happened. Though doubt applies its final squeeze on your heart; though anxiety applies its final pinch on your nerves; though complexity flashes its final illusion of impossibility; though discouragement's gravity pulls with all its might; though despair looms as a giant falling meteor; though imagination's designer paints its finishing touch of carefully calculated defeat; though the evil sculptor chisels out a statue that represents your life in his hall of fools; though the host of evil assimilates an army of skilled warriors; though the evil prosecuting attorney of the air presents his evidence of your guilt, look away from all these things to the blood of your lover. Now which one of these things can find you under this holy, sanctified blood?

Fear not. The precious blood has cleansed you, and now the Resurrection will deliver you. Lift up your heads, and behold the power of my faithfulness in the presence of all evil. Lift your hands and worship. Allow your tears to flow that your spiritual eyes may be cleansed. Allow your mouths to open, and express the screams of deliverance. I have walked into your hearts and lives and expressed my love. The love of God is delivering you right now. Have faith. The expressions of faith have been heard, and the mountains of evil have been moved. Now rejoice.

I am the light of the world. Those who follow after me will not walk in darkness. The light of love has gone before you and made a way through all the things before you. Be not weary in well doing. You will reap. Simply do not faint. I have given you a refreshing and provided new strength in this time of war against the saints. The enemy has attempted to wear out the saints, but I have sent forth the wind of revival in the presence of these lying spirits. Lying spirits have tormented the people of God. Go and declare a renewal in their midst. Go and declare the power of my blood and my name as a refuge from the spiritual attacks of the hour. I will keep you in perfect peace. Keep your mind on me. I am a very present help in the time of all trouble. You were chosen to overcome this present trouble before the foundation of the world. Those who are chosen cannot be defeated. Trust and believe that you are chosen and accepted in the beloved. Those who trust in me shall not be ashamed. Lift up your heads from these pits in your midst. Stare no longer into the dark places of miry habitations. Know of a truth, that I have placed the shoes of the gospel on your feet. Go forth with the gospel of peace, and become peacemakers in this hour of strife and division. Follow peace with all men. While you are in the way of the Lord today, make peace with your adversaries. Contend no longer to have your own way, neither seek your own. Yield to others, and allow love to be made manifest unto your enemies. You have attempted to solve your problems by reasoning. I say, "Seek the answers that come from above." I have heavenly wisdom for you today. Heavenly wisdom is being imparted unto you. Now receive the wisdom of God.

Minister unto me as a spiritual priest in the beauty of holiness and then will you speak unto those who are wise hearted whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom. I seek those among you who are consecrated unto me. I seek those who will worship me in spirit and in truth. I have filled some with the spirit of God. I have given some wisdom, understanding, and knowledge. I have even given some awesome ability in different types of workmanship to devise works for these last days. They have been given wisdom that they may make many things that will be required of them in this hour.

I have brought you through many snares and delivered you from the mouths of many adversaries. I taught you obedience during hard times and sufferings. Now go, and do the works of righteousness in this evil day as you receive the things that I am adding to you in my kingdom. Your wisdom and understanding in the sight of the nations is to keep my commandments, and do them. The eyes of the world are upon the light. You are the light of the world. Now shall you hear the world say, "The holy nation is a wise and understanding people."

Take heed to yourselves, and keep your souls diligently then you will not forget all the great things that I have done for you. I will not forsake my saints. I have preserved you forever. I will cut off the seed of the wicked, but the righteous shall inherit all of my goodness. Let your mouths speak wisdom. My law is in your hearts, and none of your steps shall slide. The wicked are watching you. They seek to slay you, but I am your keeper. Wait on me, and I will continue to keep your way. I am cutting off the wicked, and your eyes shall see the goodness of the land. I am exalted. I dwell on high. My wisdom and my knowledge shall be your stability in this time and the strength of your salvation. Though the highways that you travel lay waste with the blood of men and though the earth mourns and languishes, you shall behold me, your king in his beauty. I have given you an everlasting kingdom. Rise up with fervent praises, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.

The light that I have given you is not a light that can be removed by the forces of evil. There is no power that can bring down this exploding light. I have sent forth the light into this city, and there is no power from the throne of Satan that can bring this light into subjection. My light is within you. Allow this light to shine. Be not ashamed of the glorious gospel in you. I have come to you in this special way. Do not relinquish this opportunity that I have given you to the intimidating forces that desire to steal your riches. I have given you this fellowship and restored you to the communion of the garden. Men will despise you because of the voice of the Lord in your life. Be not intimidated, and back not away from prayer during the time of attack, but be more fervent in prayer and praise while they speak evil of you. I have made you accepted in me. Now who will declare you unacceptable?

I have redeemed you. I have sanctified you. I have justified you. Now who will condemn you and say that you are not of me?

Do not listen to these envious voices of the hour, but go forth in the power of my name, and I will show you greater things that you may marvel. You are not traveling alone. Though the suspicions of men intimidate you and cause you to feel uncomfortable, keep walking by faith. The envy in people shall cause them to approach you and speak of your experience negatively. Be not drawn away from the table of fellowship and communion with me. The things in their life may take on an appearance of blessings, but be not intimidated because of the things that seem to be. I am with you. Now who can be against you?

I will cause the enemy to flee from your presence. There is work to do; therefore, look to my word which tells you of the ministering spirits that are sent forth to minister for those who are heirs of salvation.

#225

The vehicle of faith will arrive on time. Do not forsake the vehicle that has been given to you. You are an heir of salvation, and this is the vehicle that has been chosen for you. It is reliable. Now be of good cheer, and continue the journey of faith. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto me, and the peace of God will keep your hearts and mind by me, the Lord. You have food. You have clothing. Be thankful and rejoice.

The small agitating things are mere distractions. Do not be upset in your spirit because of these small things. I have made a way although you do not see the way. The leverage of confidence is enough to lift the loads that have been placed upon your life by agitation. The law of the spirit of life operates in your favor. Now be not pushed aside by the force of the law of sin and death. The spirits that hope to use the law of sin and death against your progress are confounded by your faith. Keep living by faith, and you will observe the helplessness of the principalities and powers that are against you. I have sent these spirits away. Do not summon them back by walking after the flesh. You cannot walk after the flesh and after the spirit at the same time. Many are confused because they are double-minded and inconsistent in their walk of faith. The agents of condemnation seek for those who are double-minded, for they know that these will not receive anything from me. Confound these agents of the darkness by a commitment to walk by faith. Condemnation will not give up. Condemnation is determined to find a weakness in your armor. Many reveal their weakness by the expressions and manifestations of worry. Be confident of your salvation, and stop worrying. Total trust in me will abolish worry. I am taking care of you. I take care of the birds and the fowls of the air. Will I not take care of you and supply your needs?

Job 23:10-12

But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined. Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
