Words
of Light Upon the Face of Self-righteousness
January

Jesus has said, "Come and follow me." He is the way,
the truth, and the life. He is the only one who has walked the
path of life, met death, and overcame it. There is no one else
that I would follow to the grave and be assured of eternal life.
There is no man that I would follow with total assurance of
everlasting existence. I follow Jesus, and I believe on him
as the scriptures have declared of him. Out of my belly is flowing
rivers of living water, the Spirit, which I have received. By
his Spirit, I shall be led to the place that he has prepared
for me. I will not doubt the voice that speaks unto me. His
voice and his written word agree. He spoke to holy men of God,
and they wrote as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. No prophecy
of the scriptures is of any private interpretation. I know this
also, he has not ceased speaking to holy men of God today.
The
Lord is my holiness, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption.
I simply glorify him in all that happens in my life, and I will
be kept from deception and wicked spirits. The Day Star has
arisen in my heart. As a light that shines in a dark place,
I give heed unto the light that I have. I go in the power of
the Holy Ghost, not with the excellency of speech or of wisdom.
I know God. Now I preach him everywhere I go. There is no one
else that I can preach. There is no one else worthy to know
but Jesus and Jesus crucified.
The
Lord is in me to demonstrate the Spirit and power. I lay aside
my speech and the enticing words of man's wisdom so that my
faith will not attempt to stand in the wisdom of men but in
the power of God. He speaks of the wisdom of God, which is in
a mystery even the hidden wisdom. If the princes of this world
had known this wisdom, they would not have crucified the Lord
of glory. I walk in the Spirit, and I will not crucify Christ
afresh. The Spirit of God is the only one who knows the things
of God. He has given me his Spirit, the Holy Ghost, that I might
know the things that are freely given to me of God. Man cannot
teach me the things that he speaks of, for they are spiritual.
The natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of
God, for they are foolishness unto him, neither can he know
them because they are spiritually discerned. I have the mind
of Christ. I allow the mind of Christ to teach me and lead me.
I follow Jesus, and I will pass from death to life in the vehicle
of love.
The
Lord will take the wise in their own craftiness. I have become
a fool. As a result, he does make me wise. The thoughts of those
who think they are wise are vain. Consequently I purpose not
to glory in men. He has given me all things. I rejoice in his
provision, for I am Christ's, and Christ is God's. He has given
me the gift of prophecy. I do not doubt when I speak with divers
kinds of tongues, for that I do not doubt when he gives the
word of wisdom and the word of knowledge. There is no reason
for me to doubt the gift of prophecy. It works by the same Spirit
that gave me divers kinds of tongues, the word of wisdom, and
the word of knowledge. I come and follow Jesus. I do not doubt.
He has given me the Holy Spirit. He has not given me a stone,
a serpent, or a scorpion. I would not give my child a stone,
a serpent, or a scorpion if he asks me for bread, fish, or eggs.
I lay aside my reservations and questions. I follow the Lord,
for there is work to do. I am determined not to be troubled
by the voices of spirits and men.
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.
