Allow not your small mind to interfere with the big thing that I am doing. All of the fruit from the mind of unbelief shall be resisted by the force of the author of this faith. I made every plant of the field before it was in the earth and every herb of the field before it grew, for I had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. A mist came up from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground. I formed man out of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul. Do you believe this?

Then believe that I can make many sons and daughters from this congregation. I made Eve from one of Adam's ribs. Am I now limited to make a mighty congregation from that which you see?

What is the shape of a rib?

What is its relationship to the shape of a woman?

Was the difference between a rib and a woman a factor in whether I could make a woman from a rib?

Cease your assuming after the flesh, and rise up to live after the spirit and faith. I am God, and I do all things well.

I agree not to allow my small mind to interfere with the big thing that God is doing. All of the fruit from the mind of unbelief shall be resisted by the force of the author of this faith. The Lord has made every plant of the field before it was in the earth and every herb of the field before it grew, for he had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. A mist came up from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground. God formed man out of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul. I believe this; therefore, I know that he will make many sons and daughters from this congregation. He made Eve from one of Adam's ribs, and he is not limited to make a mighty congregation from that which I see. I note the shape of a rib. There is no relationship between the shape of a rib and the shape of a woman. The difference between a rib and a woman was not a factor in whether the Lord could make a woman from a rib. I purpose to cease my assuming after the flesh, and I rise up to live after the spirit and faith. Jesus is God, and he does all things well.

To whom much is given, much is required. Do not take me for granted because I have blessed you and given you much. Responsibility lies in your bosom also. What good are your treasures without accountability?

The liability created by irresponsibility will cause the fall of a person with the greatest faith. Your faith can be immovable, steadfast, and unswerving, yet your choices can be tragic for you and others if you act without love, humility, and wisdom. Consider who you are and whom you belong to. You are not your own, neither are those that you lead yours. You are mine and so are the people. Follow not those who travel the high path of self-exaltation and self-will. Come to the entrance of the low road, and consider the grace that is only found as you continually walk in the low path of humility. Accept the wrong that has been done to you now and in the future. The wrong done to you is cushioned by my love and the truth.

Behold the joy at the end of the low road where suffering for my name's sake is an honor, and a place with me is reserved. Tragedy viewed by prophecy, with grace to judge yourself beforehand, is a great blessing. Tragedy viewed by experience from hell is the greatest damnation. Examine yourself, and see if your heart is right and pure.

Grace has come to you today in a very special manner. Grace has brought unto you conviction and the opportunity to follow it to the altar of love. Grace endows you with power to offer yourself upon the altar of love for those who have despitefully used you. Grace enlightens your eyes to see the needs of those too weak to be fair and merciful toward you. Grace projects the emptiness of a life that can only claim vengeance against those who sought to harm you. Allow the vision of grace to show you the beauty of a life on the altar for others and the misery of a life that has been lord over others without love.

Everyone must vanish from this life. Your life is only a vapor. Though men rule over others, they must vanish from their rulership and bow at my name. Rule over others the way you must bow at my name. Humility pauses to allow you to come aboard. Do not attempt to journey across the dark, cold sea of death in a vehicle of pride and selfishness. Only humility will access the grace that will propel you through this time of extreme coldness. The love of many has waxed colder than ever before. Do not become shipwrecked with the masses. Examine the condition of your heart today. Do not allow your life to become an open autopsy of one who could have succeeded if you had really loved others. Your exterior works may shine before man, but what does that profit you if your interior heart and motives are not pure in my sight?

Fall at my feet, and receive the mercy being offered you. My grace is sufficient. All who abandon pride and vengeance shall not crash on the wreckage in the cold sea. I have equipped you with love inside. Follow charity, and place vengeance in my hands. It is time to weep. This is the time to cry. You have found grace in my sight. Grace shall support you while wrong inflicts you during times of sincerity and prayer for your persecutors. Pour out your tears upon the altar, and I will create within you a new heart of love for others. Be broken upon this rock of conviction today. The brokenness of your heart shall allow my purity to shine in you then will you see me and desire my attitude and my love for those who treat you wrong. I died for my enemies. What will you do for yours?

If you will not die for them, then why attempt to journey across the cold sea ahead without a renewal of your heart and your spirit?

Love is here for you. Allow my love to minister to you, and you will be lifted beyond yourself by the resurrection that lifted me from the cold chambers of the grave. These words were not given to condemn you but to save you from taking me for granted and to allow you to save yourself from this untoward generation. Judge yourself then you will not be judged. Examine yourself, and be honest about your own needs of mercy, grace, and love. Now go, and give these things to others who do not deserve them.

I will not die for my enemies. Since I will not die for them, then I will seek a renewal of my heart and my spirit before I attempt to journey across the cold sea ahead of me. Love is here for me. I determine to allow his love to minister to me and then I will be lifted beyond myself by the resurrection that lifted Christ from the cold chambers of the grave.

The Rhema words were not given to condemn me but to save me from taking the Lord for granted and to allow me to save myself from this untoward generation. I judge myself, and now I will not be judged. I examine myself, and I will be honest about my own needs of mercy, grace, and love. I now go and give these things to others who do not deserve them.

Awaken out of sleep, and I will give you light. Must the lashes of the enemy come against your back to awaken you unto the grace within your heart?

I bring to your remembrance the many things that I have delivered you from. Count all these things joy that have choked away your pleasures. Remember that you deserved to die in the floods of the past. You should have drowned in the waters of trouble, which went over your head. It was not your own struggles that gave you strength to escape the belly of the floods of trouble, but it was my grace enabling you to wash upon the shores of life. Open your eyes, and view the past scenes of tragedy where many lay dead in their trespasses and sins, yet you are alive today with an opportunity to praise the name of the God that kept you alive. How many of your friends died in their sins while serving themselves and the gods of religion?

You survived the clutches of idolatry, and by grace, you came up out of the horrible pit of religion. By my grace, I brought you to the dry ground of the chief cornerstone. The rope of love did not leave you in the dark dungeon of despair while I rescued others, but I brought you along with others. I stretched my hand to some of your friends, and they rejected my help. Will you reject my offer of mercy after being delivered from such horrible blindness of heart?

Come and reason together with me, and I will show you of my easy yoke and my light burden again. Yoke yourself no longer with the strength of human reasoning, but yoke yourself with me, and rest while I show you of an easier way. You have trusted in self and man too long. You say that you have trusted in me, but have you really learned to trust in me as Paul trusted in me?

There are many that have not bowed to the gods of the world and have trusted in me with all their hearts. Come and behold the teachings of love in store for you. Fear not. My yoke is easy, and my burden is light. The yokes of the world are rooted in pride. Unbelief is the soil for the roots of pride to flourish. Look at the tares, and behold their emptiness that they have drawn from the soil of unbelief. There is nothing truly spiritual in the world. All is vanity and foolish. The acts of the world are mere distractions and entertainment for the fallen angels of the darkness. Be not a character in their dramas of death. The prince of the power of the air works to include you in his amusement that you may be on the diet of death itself. Allow not the trumpets of death to play taps for you, but tune your senses to the voice of the Lord. I shall descend with the voice of an archangel, and those who love my appearing shall hear my voice. How will you love my appearing if you find my commandments grievous?

I have said, "Seek you first the kingdom of God and his righteousness." Therefore, cease your search for success and fame then will all the things that I desire to send you become yours by the hand of multiplication. Success in Christ Jesus is not obtained as success is awarded to the worshippers of the gods of the world. You will stumble in the day if your faith is in self and human ability. Will you use human ability against principalities and powers of the regions of the darkness of this world?

Take unto yourself the whole armor of God. How will you wear the armor of God without the undergarments of humility?

How will you wear outer garments of darkness and the armor of God also?

Will you wear the armor of God without casting off the outer works of darkness?

Who can eat at my table and the table of devils also?

The enemy has come to offer you his rewards on the platters of compromise. Remember that I have sent you to be a testimony of my power and my glory. Remember that you are my witnesses and not the witnesses of the enemy. Compromise is a deadly tactic of the enemy. It is aligned against my warriors to distract them from my goodness and mercy in order to smite from the back. Remember that compromise is a deadly enemy, not a harmless game or entertainment. Every spirit of the darkness is armed with the weapons of compromise. Beware lest you sell the truth for empty rewards and the praises of man. You have taken up your spiritual weapons by the hands of trust. Now continue to trust in me that the weapons of your warfare may be swung with accuracy and confidence and not stilled by doubt and fear. In the hearts of those who have allowed love to abide, there is peace in the face of judgment by the courts of the enemy. In the hearts of those who truly believe, life is not viewed by eyes that seek to save their lives.

I cast off pride because there is no way that I can wear the armor of God without the undergarments of humility. There is no way for me to wear outer garments of darkness and the armor of God also.

My grace has spoken unto your mountains. It has voiced a good profession on your behalf. The voice of grace has not been silent while you have slumbered in your prayer relationship. Grace has continually worked to free you from your self-imposed judgment against yourself. The morning has found you free of the struggle of the past because grace untied you and led you to the altar of everlasting love. You had taken so many things for granted, but love granted forbearance and issued the blessedness of the Lord. If your sins and iniquities had been imputed unto you, the web of the wicked one would hold you fast today.

You are blessed and counted righteous because of faith. Faith's measure is sufficient for the imputation of righteousness to prevail and voice effectual prayers that will still the storm of adversity from within you. I am greater than all things, and I live inside of you; therefore, look unto me, your strength, and I will show you the power of God that is always against this inside warrior. The flesh wars against the Spirit. The flesh is weak and profits nothing. Lean no longer upon desires for stability and fruitfulness. Faith is not dependent upon desires and feelings. You have fallen short many times because you have waited on desire and feelings. I say, "Look unto ever-abiding faith and grace and then will you be empowered with a spiritual force that is not dependent upon the fuel of desire and feelings."

Faith is given to you. Its fruit will not wither in the face of listless feelings and demonic rage. Faith will speak beyond the grave. Is it a wonder that faith will speak in the face of your feelings and tormenting devils?

Be not a worshipper whose expressions are dependent upon feelings for a gratifying relationship with me. This is not true worship. You do not walk by feelings. You walk by faith. Now rise up continually in the mornings, and walk by the faith of Jesus Christ that is within you. Grace has provided you with renewed strength and new legs for your faith. Now seize the renewal of my righteousness in your life.

I have begotten you unto a lively hope. The lively hope granted you will not make you ashamed. Shame has been defeated. Because you believe, you have been planted together with me into the likeness of my death and granted the benefits of the resurrection. My cross has been endured, and the shame of sin despised. The joy of redemption was seized and set before me. This glorious joy of redemption is now yours for strength.

Sound the horns of praise, and declare the victorious joy that cannot be captured by the scheme of sadness. Sorrow and sighing are bundled together and cast upon fleeing horses. As riders, they journey beyond the horizon of joy. Joy's horizon is firmly fixed. It is not removed from the foundation of strength. Lift your eyes again to love's height if you can. The benefits of the banner over you cannot be numbered; therefore, go forth with your banner of everlasting praise. Everlasting joy is upon your heads. The joy of Messiah is within. Open the gates of praise, and the strength of joy shall flood the palaces and strongholds that resist you.

Confidence is not defeated. Integrity is not dead. Character is not marred. Faithfulness is not erased from the earth. The clouds of trouble have flown through lives. They have cast the temporal shadows of spiritual barrenness and blindness. They are as a giant fog. However, their time is over, and the sunshine of victory's beam has broken through. Forecast victory's reality. Proclaim the light from shore to shore. Shout the vibrant praises of victory, for its light refuses to live in the darkness of the clouds of trouble.

Break forth unto joy. Rend the garments of heaviness, and adorn yourselves with the garments of praise. Get dressed in the royal garments of thanksgiving, and write your signature of redemption. Sign on the dotted lines of uncertainty. You have been given the authority to sign the family name. Now take your pen of the ready writer and sign my name for your release. I have released you from every prison of the darkness. Light is yours. The release of the light within you has expressed a language only interpreted by the angels and the redeemed.

Come and follow the light through the corridors of the world. Its language commands respect, and its effect warrants liberty. Come and follow the light of praise. It is the outward expression of inner joy. Wear the testimony of praise to the throne of grace, and my name shall touch the lips that offer glory. You are loosed, not bound. You are freed, not captured. You are healed, not sick. You are redeemed. Go and say that you are.

If I were a man, I would cast you out with the hypocrites of the age. I am God and not a man. I have not dealt with you as man deals with you. My lovingkindness and tender mercies have become a pathway for your feet. My love is a vehicle of faithful transportation for your journey to heaven. Look to my love, which is yours because you are mine. I have granted you the grace that you have received. You did not pry grace from my being. I freely gave you grace for my own sake. For my name's sake, I have saved you from yourself. I have granted you a place around my throne that I may give you what you need to be pleasing in my sight.

Release your fears and your frustrations into my hands. I am a consuming fire. The fire of my love shall bring to naught all the frustrating things that hinder you. The fire of this great love is consuming the putrefaction of self-righteousness. All of your righteousness is as the filthy rags of religion and human reasoning. I have granted you a new understanding of my way and my thoughts. Look again to the mind of Christ, and be endowed with true power from on high instead of the limited power of your own mind.

I made this day. Be glad, and rejoice in the day of salvation. You found the throne today. You have found the King of the throne room. I am always exalted. Magnify me in the presence of the trouble of the hour. I am greater than trouble. I am greater than the wicked of the hour. Who will contend with my power in this age of hopelessness?

I have all power. Lean on this power, and you will find the awesome expression necessary for ministry and acceptance with man. You have presented yourself. You have leaned toward your own understanding and allowed complacency to dominate your life. I have brought you back to your first love. Now abide in the room of love and reverence for your God. As you reverence me in sincerity and truth, you will find the newness of what I have prepared for you. I have prepared a table of fresh water, bread, and wine for your journey. Take the preparation of the Lord God, and eat this in faith today. I have fed you by my Spirit and granted you the communion of prayer and worship. I have renewed you in your faith and strengthened you by the resurrection power of love. You are revived and equipped with the spiritual tools of ministry. Lift your voice, and preach the gospel. I am in you to do a work that you will not believe. Go and proclaim all of the words that I have placed in your mouth.

I must go and proclaim all of the words that he has placed in my mouth.

The gift and the calling of the Lord God are without repentance. I have not gifted you and revoked the gift. I have not called you and sent you back to the darkness. I have planned a complete work in you. Look not at the fallen oaks in the ditches of religion and attempt to determine my plan for your life. I have not dealt with you according to the principles of traditions and assumptions of men. The world does not know me; therefore, look not to the world to determine my will for your life.

I have granted you a relationship with me. Though you have fallen short and missed the mark of righteousness, I have not cast you aside into the ditches of condemnation. I have already written victory in your life. Now live out the victory that is alive in you by love. Love has given birth to victory in you. Love has sent forth an understanding of the complex problems that you must deal with. Love has embraced wisdom and brought it forth for this very hour. I have not left you without counsel; therefore, lift up your head to the answers in you through the mind of Christ.

Be not intimidated because of the size of this present problem. I am bigger than all of your problems. The voice of intimidation has sent fear into the world. Do not listen to his big voice. He has no authority over you. I have drawn a giant near your presence to be slain. I am raising up giant killers for these last days. Fear not the giant in your presence, but be confident of his defeat by the hand of my righteousness. I have already destined his defeat and shame in your face. He shall behold the words of your mouth and be silenced by the power of the life that is in the words. Be confident of this victory, for I have ordained it and commanded it. Lift up you voice in thanksgiving, and be freed from the doubts and fears in the realm all about you. I have sent forth quietness into your presence. Now abide in the quiet realm granted by my grace and love.

My love constrained you at the door of self-justification. It removed pride from your face and caused you to humble yourself to pray. Prayer has eluded many. Humility has withered in the face of the mighty. Dwell not in the dry gardens of false humility. This attitude is a withered virtue and an unwanted weed in my presence.

I have sought the true worshippers. Humble yourself and pray then will thanksgiving's voice resound the fullness of my glory in your life. Open your mouth wide today, and talk of my glory. Show forth the testimony of my power with lips of grace. I have touched your mind and lips with a coal from the altar of love. Be assured that all grace is present where I am truly Lord. I am able to make all grace abound toward you that you, having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.

There is work to do. Offer praise for the goodness of God and the wonderful works to the children of men. Allow the sacrifice of thanksgiving to be offered with joy, and declare my works with rejoicing. Still the enemy and the avenger by choosing to offer thanksgiving and praise unto me instead of exchanging words with your enemies and fighting them in your own strength. I will rebuke the enemy in response to this attitude of babes and infants that suck the breast. Focus on thanksgiving unto me, and behold the lessons taught to your enemies because of thanksgiving's response. Hear these words, and do them then will you grow in love and faith.

My power is furnishing you with new confidence in me. Your mind has been quickened this morning. I have sent you to declare the Living Word. I did not send you without the Spirit of life. Open your mouth and speak. The same Spirit that dwells in you will quicken others. The Spirit of life is the Spirit of Christ. Those who do not have the Spirit of Christ are not mine.

You are a joint-heir to this quickening power. This power operates in you as it operated in Christ.

Hear the voice of the Spirit of adoption. It is bearing witness with your spirit that you are a child of God. The sufferings of the children of God are not indications of their poverty. The heirs suffer with Christ that they may be glorified with him. Despise not the wealth of your sufferings, for the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that shall be revealed in you. I have quickened your mind and spirit. You are revived. You are made alive and full of faith and power. Only believe.

Do not doubt my words to you. I am rich in mercy. My great love that I have loved you with when you were dead in sins has quickened you together with Christ. I raised you up together with Christ and made you sit together with him in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. By my kindness, the exceeding riches of my grace are being revealed. The mirror of kindness shall provide new images of compassion, thoughtfulness, and gentleness for you. Behold how kind I have been toward you. Now manifest these things to others.

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 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.

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.

Many claim to have me without being filled with my Spirit. Some claim to have me but deny that I am God. I am the King of kings and the Lord of lords. Who can rule the kingdom of God except the King of righteousness and the King of peace?

I have imputed righteousness unto you by faith. As Abraham believed and was counted righteous, so have I counted you righteous. Accept the honor of right standing that has been granted you, and allow the blood of Christ to purge your conscience from all of your dead works to serve the Living God. Your conscience has played its reviews of your past, your failures, your sins, and even your successes as you approached my throne for communion and fellowship. These reviews are unwanted and unnecessary expressions that have caused you to list yourself with the unbelievers and those who have no faith. I have come to purge your conscience of these listings that have hindered the activity of your gift. I have sanctified you in every way. Now release these listings that are replayed and reviewed by your conscience each time you approach me. These things have been at the root of all your struggles and defeats. Cease recycling these things. Give me your conscience this morning, and I will empty it of these dead things.
