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
way is already made. God has not brought me to a wilderness
of death and bones. He has brought me to a battleground for
souls. This is not a place of death and bones, but this is a
place of tremendous victory. This victory on this place shall
be for a memorial. The Lord has allowed the things that have
come that he might show himself strong on my behalf. I will
show forth fervent praises that this fragrance of praise will
become a memory that I will not forget. I will not allow the
regretful things to become my memories, or there shall only
be the remains from the stagnant fragrances of bitterness and
resentment. God has allowed all the pains and hurts that I might
be in fellowship with him. I have come to know him in the fellowship
of alienation and rejection, yet the glory of God rests upon
me and those who follow me. I am not filled with dismay in this
time of discouragement, but rather, I am encouraged that I am
chosen to suffer with him. The spears and javelins of the enemy
cannot prevent me from going through the barrier ahead. He has
placed a door in the barriers before me. I will keep moving
forward, for the door is already opened for me. He has gone
before me and established foundations in the house of my enemies.
He shall build upon this point of rejection and cause his acceptance
to be my springboard of grace. He has given more grace in the
time of bewilderment. He has allowed all the things that have
come to me. The day shall not pass before I become fully aware
of the meanings behind what he has allowed. He will give me
a confirmation of the things that are to come to pass shortly.
Hebrews
10:22 - 23
Let
us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having
our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies
washed with pure water. Let
us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering;
(for he is faithful that promised;)
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.
