Series 2.9.20 - #263

 

September 20, 2004

God has not sent me without provision and sufficiency. All that I need is resident in me, for he is my sufficiency and my provider. I look to him, my source, and cease looking upon the things of others. He has loved me with an everlasting love. His promises to me are not empty, vain promises. His promises are sure and reliable. I look to him, for he cannot lie. It is impossible for him to lie. He is not as the gods of the world who seek to destroy. He came to save men's lives, not to destroy them; therefore, I trust him with all that I have. I trust with all my heart, and I know that he is faithful. He will not suffer me to be tempted above that which I am able to bear. With every temptation, he makes a way of escape that I may be able to bear all things. He is full of purpose. I must return to his purpose and not my own. My purpose in the land is not the same as men of darkness. Though the children of darkness are wiser than the children of light,

God has not sent me to live after their purpose. His purpose has been clearly declared and made known to me; therefore, I rise up from man's way and return to God's way. He has restored my prayer relationship with him and magnified the relationship many times. Now I shall see the many things that have been foretold by prophecy. God shall show that the spirit of prophecy is not a ministry that cannot be trusted but that the spirit of prophecy is the same as the spirit of prophecy of old. As the Holy Ghost moved upon holy men of old, so is the Holy Ghost moving up holy men of today.

God is moving upon the church. Now I write the things that he says. I do not fear, neither do I draw back because of criticism and condemnation. As the people of old despised the prophets of their day, so shall the people of today despise God's true prophets. I do not think it strange if they cast me out of their company and separate me from their groups. I do not think it strange if they cast my name out as evil for his name's sake, but I rejoice for the great reward that I have inherited. The evidence of their rejection of me is a testimony of their perdition.

Now I rise up in faith, and proclaim all that the Lord placed in my mouth. This is a new day, a new hour, and a new thing. I behold the new thing that God does, for he is showing himself strong on behalf of his name. I hear the voice of the spirit, and I am assured of his faithfulness. He has promised, and he will perform continually; therefore, I continue in faith. I continue in love. I will continue pressing toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. I forget the things which are behind, for they have passed on to their destination. All that I did not store up in heaven shall be as the dung; therefore, I do not look back for anything.

Heaven and earth shall pass away, but God's word will not pass away. The word of the Lord lives and abides forever. I will listen to the voice of faith in my ears and know that the way is made plain. I walk in these paths of righteousness for his name's sake. These paths are paths of victory and safe havens for my family. I continue to look unto Jesus, the author and the finisher of my faith. He has not forgotten his promises to me. I reach forth the hand of praise, and I will receive the blessings promised by the mouth of the Lord. 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.
