The
day of rejoicing is given to me. God has shielded me from the
grief and despair that sought to wrestle me from the foundation
of joy. He has allowed grace to lift me into the expression
of great joy and victory. The way of holiness is mine. He has
taken away the lions and the serpents that sought to distract
me from the purpose. He has sent his standard into their presence
and resisted them. Though these things are loose in the earth,
he has hidden me from them. I purpose not to be weary in well
doing. I am reaping now. The Lord has light for me today; therefore,
I will not be afraid to trust the way before my feet. It is
not a strange path. It is a simple path. It is the path that
God has chosen for me. I determine to walk in the light of love,
and I will not fulfill the fears planned by seducing spirits.
God has overcome the world, the flesh, and the devil; therefore,
I will not be moved from the hope in me. He is the light of
the world, and I do not walk in the darkness of unbelief. I
walk in the light of love and faith. I come into this mighty
river before me. These waters are waters to swim in. These waters
are alive. Their flow is pure and right. In these waters, I
will be washed again in the love of God. I trust the relationship
that God has fostered. He has not given me a vain relationship,
but he has given me a relationship bathed in the love of God.
Now I will go and bathe someone else in his love. I will allow
my words to flow from the Lord, and I will see great and mighty
things that I do not know. I will go and rest, and I will come
forth refreshed. I will be a refreshing to the people.



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.
