SCRIPTURAL VERIFICATION

The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

(Romans 10:8-10)

Words of Light Upon the Face of Impossibility

 

January 12, 2005

The Lord has waited on my return to prayerfulness. He did not reject me in my times of absence from real prayer. He is not a man, neither is he anxious to see me destroyed or defeated. He is desirous to see me victorious and glorifying his name in the victory of his cross. I lift my head from regret and false guilt because of my failures. I remember that he knew that I would fail. His blood has not failed in my time of need. The blood is ever present for my cleansing. I lift up my head as a gate, and I am as an everlasting door. He will come in and bless the fruit of my hands. He has not given me these blessings to halt them inside of a house. God will not allow the enemy to confine them in a box. These things are a blessing designed for others also. The Lord has made me a steward over these things. I have kept them and arranged them. Now I behold the work that he will do for his own name's sake. The night shall not come before God has fulfilled that which he has already planned. An enemy cannot hinder his fulfillment of these inevitable things. The Lord has offered his only begotten son for me. Now he will give me all things that he has destined to give me.

I do not worry about the strategies of the enemy. He has attempted to frustrate me in vain. God has sent more grace that I might abide in the valley of victory. This place is a valley of victory, not a valley of defeat. Jesus is the God of the valley also. He is not only the God of the mountains, but he is also God of the valley. He will give me tremendous victory for my tasting. I taste and see how good the victories will be in this present time and the times to come. God has made a way for me. The way has not been shut because of my lack of strength. I have tried to figure out a way, but now grace has motivated me to become as a little child again. I can now enter into the way that he has made. God has also given me strength to carry the things that he does not remove.

Jesus is right here eternally. The way is made. Now I do not worry about the rough path before my eyes. It is as an undeveloped area. I behold the technical things that are not possible by me and my abilities. These things are already solved. I will enter into the realm of real faith and close the eyelids of human reasoning. When I have closed the eyelids of human reasoning and opened the eyes of faith, then will I behold the hand of possibility demolish impossibility before my face.

God has not offered me blessings and turned them into curses. The voice of his thunder has not turned off its lightning. His voice of thunder has spoken and struck impossibility with the lightning of victory. I can now see the way to take, for his lightning has provided me light in this time of fainting. God's love has not authored victory and defeat at the same time. His love has assured me of total victory and perfect peace. I do not allow the pains from the past to cause me to continually cry over the hurts and bruises, but I look to his sacrifice, and I behold the effect of all these things on his sacrifice. Now I am forgiven and healed. He took away all these things in his own body. Now I am free to come to this throne of grace as a son. The Lord's hand is stretched forth to bring me into a right relationship with him and not an unacceptable relationship. His blood has made this possible. Now no one will make it impossible.

I have misinterpreted goodness. I will go and learn the meaning of the statement, "Why callest thou me good? No, not one is good, but God." I will go and learn what that means in the original tongue and the culture of those in that hour. I will not be ignorant of the times. The hour is late. It is much later than I perceive. I awaken unto the purpose and allow the inspiration of grace to revive me by its power. I have allowed an enemy to hinder me. The Lord will show me the hindering thing and then bring me to a godly zealousness. I lift my head in thanksgiving, and I will be continually grateful. God has blessed me beyond measures expected by man. Now I allow him to create a new desire for the word that must come to carry me on to the purpose ahead. I behold the power of his grace to make a way in this time of uncertainty. I behold this grace now.

 

 

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.
