Words
of Light Upon the Face of Defeat
December
22, 2004
God has not allowed an enemy to siphon the grace that he gave
me. Though iniquities have abounded and sins have been committed,
his steadfast grace has accomplished its purpose in my life
and brought me to this point of victorious faith. I purpose
not to leave the throne of grace for another position or station
in life. There is no other place that I can journey to and find
the riches possessed in God. He is the treasure that men and
women seek, yet they continue to search for the empty things
in life. They are constantly destroyed because of their lack
of knowledge. I will go and proclaim Christ, the wisdom of God
and the power of God. He is the riches of life. There are no
other riches that last forever, except him, the treasure of
the ages. Many have sought what I have found; therefore, I rejoice
in this relationship, for it is valued above everything in heaven
and in earth.
The
systems of the world shall now know that he is God. He is more
than a man, more than a prophet, and more than a lamb. Jesus
is the Everlasting Father and the Prince of peace. Man's peace
shall not come in the form of things. Man's peace came as a
lamb and was offered as a sacrifice. Unless his offering for
sins is accepted and believed according to the scriptures, then
a man's religion is vanity. I look to Jesus, and he will show
me the glory of redemption and the glory of this relationship.
God has not brought life to my ears and to my doors only to
have me come and find death and defeat.
Jesus
has brought me the glorious victory of his cross and granted
me the fruit of his sufferings. His sufferings were not in vain.
All that he suffered was for me, and now the fruit of his sufferings
are for my tasting. I taste of the victory of his bruises. I
taste of the victory of his wounds. I taste the fruit of his
stripes today. I taste of the fruit of Gethsemane. I taste of
the fruit of his submission to death. God has not sent forth
an empty experience into my life, but what he has sent forth
is the total victory of life over death, health over sickness,
prosperity over poverty, peace over confusion, liberty over
bondage, a sound mind over troubled minds, and righteousness
over unrighteousness.
Jesus
is a holy God. There is no defeat in him. He has all power,
and there is no counsel against him. I lift my eyes to Jesus
and give him my heart today. He has all power. God created man
and made woman from the man's rib. His creative power has not
diminished because he is the Lord who does not change. His constructive
power has not withered as a flower in its state of withering.
Jesus
is the Lord, and he does not change. I will trust him, and he
will show me his glory. I will trust him, and he will show me
that I have not believed in an idol, but I have believed in
the only Lord God. He is Jesus who called Paul of the early
church. Now he has called me. I allow the fashioning of his
grace to complete its work and then I will be pleased with the
result that God has planned by his mind. I cannot add one inch
to my stature; therefore, I do not need to struggle to become
what I am going to be. I allow God to continue his molding process
of my life and then I will be a vessel that he is pleased to
dwell within. Jesus has a word for the people. I will allow
him to give them what has been sent from eternal wisdom and
understanding and not from my own plans then will I behold the
victory planned for today. I believe.
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.
