The
hour is late. I will go and sound the alarm. I purpose to go
and show forth the correct testimonies in the presence of the
holy. God has set a trumpet to my mouth. Now I sound the alarm.
He says, "Sound the alarm, and fear not the attitudes and
expressions of those who are drunk on the wine of unbelief."
He has given me "hard-headed" faith. I do not fear
their faces, and I do not look at the intimidating eyes of hate.
The Lord has made my faith hard headed. I will not turn back
in the day of battle, but I shall see them fall in the day of
battle as Saul fell. I look to the end of this journey, and
I behold those who stand beside the banner of love on high.
I look to the end of this journey, and I behold those who wear
the garment of praise at the end. God has placed the garment
of praise upon me. Now I will not wear the garment of heaviness
again. I look to the author and the finisher of my faith. My
author has not come to me and promised rejection. He has come
and sealed the completion of the work that he started. God started
a good work in me, and he will perform the work. I have looked
to myself and found emptiness. I will come from the self-centeredness
of my own mind, and I behold the power of my God and the promise.
He has promised. He will perform what he promised. I look unto
the completion of the work. I have looked at the adversary long
enough. I look away from his show in the dark. His demonstration
of actions without power to carry out his plan has fallen to
the ground. Now I look at the slain warriors of evil in the
distance, and I behold the church rejoice on the tombstones
of evil persecutors. Jesus is the Lord. He does all things well.
He will not do a bad work in my presence when he has promised
me revival and victory. I come to the table of victory again
and eat its bread and drink its wine. I must not be drunken
on the wine of this world, but I will be drunken on the Holy
Ghost. There is revival in my bosom. I shall go on to the activity
of the Spirit, and I will behold the wind of a new Pentecost.



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.
