SCRIPTURAL
VERIFICATION
The
word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is,
the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess
with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart
that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For
with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the
mouth confession is made unto salvation. (Romans 10:8-10)

The
sinners shall come with eyes bathed in tears. Their eyes shall
swim in their tears. God shall use their godly sorrow to turn
them unto repentance. They shall come unto him with weeping. With
supplications, will he lead them. He will free them from the spirits
that are much stronger than they. He will show forth the power
of redemption and lead them in a straight path and then he will
water their souls as a garden is watered. It is his desire afterwards
that they sorrow no more. Afterwards, he will cause them to rejoice
in the dance, for he will turn their mourning into joy. He will
comfort them and make them rejoice from their sorrow.
The
ministers of the Lord will have their souls satiated with fatness,
and his people shall be satisfied with goodness. I purpose to
refrain from the voice of weeping and my eyes from tears, for
my work shall be rewarded. There is no need for sorrow, for there
is hope in my end. His people have looked at their present circumstances
and beheld the sorrow and the grief that wrapped them up. I will
direct them to look to the end of all these things and behold
the beauty of what he is doing. Though he has chastised them,
he will turn and have mercy upon them.
The
way of a transgressor is hard, but the yoke of the Lord is easy.
Many are sorrowful because they have transgressed his commandments.
Their hour has come to be delivered, and now shall their sorrow
be turned unto joy. A woman, when she is in travail, has sorrow
because her hour is come, but as soon as she is delivered of the
child, she does not remember the anguish anymore, for joy that
a child is born into the world.
The
children of God are delivered, therefore; they have no need for
anguish. The Lord says, "They have given their joy away, for
they have laid their heads on the bosom of other loves and the
enemy has cut off their joy." He has said, "Their hearts
shall rejoice, and their joy will no man take from them." I
purpose to tell them to repent of loving others and other things
more than God. I will ask for deliverance in his name, and they
shall receive it that their joy may be full. I determine to tell
them to be of a glad heart. He has overcome the world, the flesh,
and the devil. I elect to go and turn the people's heart toward
rejoicing in all of their tribulation. I remind them that he is
there to comfort them. He will give them beauty for their ashes,
the oil of joy for their mourning, the garment of praise for the
spirit of heaviness that they might be called trees of righteousness,
the planting of the Lord. He will be glorified in them; therefore,
I make a joyful path for his glory.

The
Lord has not forgotten his promises unto me. He is God, and he
cannot lie. It is impossible for him to lie. He has not held back
his promises, but a spirit has influenced me to doubt. I refuse
the inspiration of doubt, and I allow the faith that he has given
to express itself. Faith is willing to express its ability and
confidence. Faith is speaking, but I will not allow it to speak
continually. I have expressed a double-mind's view of things and
have not received that which I could have. Today is the day of
victory. I now go and express the faith of Christ and not the
doubts of my mind. All things are possible if I believe. I lift
up my voice in the sanctuary and declare the hope of the cross.
The Lord has made a bridge and placed it under my feet. The cross
is a bridge across all troubled waters and through every scorching
fire. It is time for "hard-headed" faith and not the time for
doubt and unbelief. The enemy has counted on my double-mindedness,
but he knows that I will abound with thanksgiving because of faith.
I purpose to go and proclaim the victory that is already won by
the cross. I determine to go and proclaim his faithfulness to
Israel and the faithfulness to me and the church. He cannot fail.
There is no failure in him. There is no darkness in him, neither
is there a shadow of turning in him. In him, there is liberty
and power. I am not bound. I am free. Now I rise up and proclaim
what I know by the Living Word that is in me. He is Jesus, the
Lord of lords and the King of kings. I believe on him as the scriptures
have declared of him, and now the rivers within me shall flow
against the fires of discouragement and defeat.
Hebrews
4:14 -16
Seeing
then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the
heavens, Jesus the Son of God,
let us hold fast our profession.
For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched
with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted
like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly
unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace
to help in time of need.
Ephesians
2:8-9
For
by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves:
it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

3: 7 - 8
Surely
the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto
his servants the prophets. The lion hath roared, who will not
fear? The Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy?
