Confession of Faith - February 21, 2004

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 Discouragement

February 21, 2005

I will not be discouraged because some do not believe in God's voice in the earth today. It is their loss. I will not be distracted by their criticism. They have fenced themselves in a prison of their own words and locked themselves up with their own tongues. I will lie down on my bed and dream. The Lord will open my understanding as I journey with him in the secret chambers of the Spirit. The Lord has not saved these experiences for Abraham, Joseph, Daniel, Elijah, Elisha, and the Old Testament prophets while excluding people today. He has saved the best for last. The first shall be last, and the last shall be first. The Lord did not say to any of the Old Testament prophets, "Greater works than these shall you do." Jesus said unto me, "The glory of this latter house is greater than of the former house."

The prophets inquired and searched diligently for what I have received. They prophesied of the grace that has come unto me. The Spirit of Christ signified and testified in them. The same Spirit of Christ testifies in his people today. The prophets knew that it was not unto them but unto us they did minister the things that are now reported unto us by them that have preached the gospel unto us with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven. I have received a glorious gift. The angels desire to look into what I have received. I gird up the loins of my mind and refuse to drink the wine of spiritual drunkards of unbelief. I will be sober and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto me at the revelation of Jesus Christ. The Lord has called me. He is holy. Now I will be holy, for he is holy. I will be holy in all manner of conversation. I continually call on Jesus who, without respect of persons, judges according to every man's work.

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.
