Words of Light Upon the Face of Hindrances To Prophecy

 

January 5, 2005

The Lord made today. I will be glad in the day that he has made. I rejoice greatly, for he has awakened me in a right mind. He has given me a mind to worship him, my King. I bowed my knees to him. He gave me humility so that I might humble myself before him. I have shown reverence, respect, honor, and trust in God. I did not do this of myself. I can of myself do nothing. God has given me all things that pertain unto godliness. He works in me at all times, both to will and to do of his good pleasure. He has given the people one heart to do his commandments by the word of the Lord and ordained peace for them. His law is in their inward parts. It is written in their hearts. He is their God, and they are his people. His fear is in their hearts, and they will not depart from him. What I have received, was given by God from heaven. I have sufficiency. It is not of me; therefore, I do not think anything is of myself. My sufficiency is of him. He has made me an able minister of the New Testament, not of the letter but of the spirit, for the letter kills, but the spirit gives life. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above. It comes down from God, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

God was with the Jewish fathers. He is with me. I am Christ's seed; therefore, I am Abraham's seed and an heir according to the promise. The Lord will never leave me, nor forsake me. I may incline my heart unto him, I choose to walk in all his ways and keep his commandments and judgments that he has commanded me. He has turned my eyes away from vanity and quickened me in the right way. His word is established in me, and reproach is turned away. The word of truth is in my mouth. Now I allow it to speak through me.

Every way of a man is right in his own eyes. God has given me his eyes, for he is my head. Now I may see things as he desires me to see them. I will not seek the things that are after my own heart. If I do, I will not do justice and judgment in an acceptable way. I will look through his eyes. He is my head. If I allow him to work in me, I will always do the right thing. The Lord is rich in mercy. He has quickened me together with Christ, raised me up together, and made me sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. The exceeding riches of his grace are shown to me by his kindness toward me, for by grace, I am saved through faith and that not of myself. It is the gift of God, not of works. If it is of works, then I could boast. He justified me by grace. Now I am an heir according to the hope of eternal life.

God has enclosed me with curtains of grace. I elect not to open these curtains, or I will feel the accusations of condemnation. I will remain veiled by grace, and victory is always certain. Many are condemned because they have disclosed their hiding place by opening the curtains of grace to walk after their own righteousness. The heat of condemnation cannot find me as long as I remain hidden behind grace. I am concealed, and there is no condemnation as long as I walk after the spirit. Outside of grace, my nakedness is uncovered. I purpose to remain in the secret of grace.

 

 

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.
