Be fully persuaded that the foundations of your promises are built and made by me. Have I built success for you and detained you in the prison of failure?
Have I built the body of Christ to have it overcome by the giants of debt?
Have I made you foundations of peace and hired confusion as a condemning agent of your building of peace?
Look away from this lie in your face, and behold the truth within you. You have looked outside at uncertainty while truth’s fiery eyes are waiting to consume the doubts and fears before your face. Open your life up for the praises that have been stifled by doubt and unbelief. Open your mouth up for the praise that desires to come forth through a vessel sacrificed unto the God of your way. Receive the strength to conceive a seed of praise this morning. I am planting the seed of praise within you. Judge me faithful, not unfaithful. I promised.
Will I lie?
Can I lie?
(RHEMA: The Foundation of Our Promises Are Built and Made by the Living God; Therefore, Their Fulfillment Rest Upon Him)
I am fully persuaded that the foundations of my promises are built and made by God. He has not built success for me and detained me in the prison of failure. He has not built the body of Christ to have it overcome by the giants of debt. He has not made me foundations of peace and hired confusion as a condemning agent of my building of peace. I make a decision to look away from this lie in my face, and I behold the truth within me. I have looked outside at uncertainty while truth's fiery eyes are waiting to consume the doubts and fears before my face. I will open my life up for the praises that have been stifled by doubt and unbelief. I determine to open my mouth up for the praise that desires to come forth through a vessel sacrificed unto the God of my way and receive the strength to conceive a seed of praise. The Lord is planting the seed of praise within me. I judge God faithful not unfaithful. He promised, and he will not lie, for it is impossible for him to lie.

The Controversy of His Stripes With a Maverick Illness
I have not left you alone to figure a way around the things that have confronted you. I have not left you here in this world to encounter sicknesses, nor disease in your own strength, but I have settled the argument that sickness has with you. Sickness has argued with me concerning you and desired to plunge you down to the depth of the canyon of decision, but I have pointed to the cross and directed "Sickness’ argument" to the finished work there. I have made a bridge out of the finished work of the cross for you to pass from sickness to health. Do not be detoured by the frustrating effects in your flesh, for all these things were upon my body, and now you do not have to bear them, for I have paid the debt that you owed by the stripes that I took for you.
Do not be frustrated, neither allow the effects that have weakened you to bring doubts or fears to your mind, but be assured that the argument was settled by my works, and now the effect of healing flows in you unto total victory. Do not be filled with dismay, neither lean to your own understanding. Stand up, and speak the word of faith that we preach, and do not be stymied by the onslaught of this attack. I am the way-maker. I have already finished the work. I am the Lord who healeth all your sicknesses and diseases. I am Jehovah-Rapha, the Lord who healeth thee. I have made a banner and placed it over you. My banner over you is love. The banner that I have made is not fallen down in the presence of the pressure of sickness and disease, but my banner flies high in the midst of your praises. I have made myself a throne in the praises of those who worship me in spirit and in truth.
Lift up your head unto the banner that is over you, and know that I am the banner, for I am love. This love shall not wither in the face of an enemy. This love shall not falter in the face of this attack, but my love has lifted up its banner, and this standard shall not be shoved aside by the onslaught of any foe.
Lift up your head, and hear the voice of triumph within you. Lift up your head on high, and see that the Father does work, and now you go and work. You can only do what you see me do. Behold the past, and see me taking stripes for you. Behold the present, and see my virtue flow unto you from within you, for I am working within you and doing exceedingly, above all that you are able to ask or think according to my power which works within you. Behold the future, and see your feet on the head of this enemy and the originator of this sickness. I have conquered it by my stripes, and you have conquered it by your faith in my works. Behold the victory of your Father, and know that the Father has given the same victory to you.

RE: RHEMA - The Controversy of His Stripes with a Maverick Illness
Much is made of healing for the physical body. As we study the Word of God, there is much more emphasis that is placed on the emotional and spiritual healing than the physical. I have observed that there is a spirit of infirmity that seems to jump on people when church time arrives. Our physical health is many times proportional to our spiritual health. Jesus Christ is still the healer of broken hearts and broken legs. He will heal shattered dreams and unfulfilled promises. Bitterness of soul is a worse cancer than any doctors can name. God has and will continue to send the sweet balm of healing into our lives. The cross not only canceled out any victory that sin can win. It also negates any victory that adversity would try to pull from us.

RE: RHEMA - The Plans of God Are Finished before He Started Them
Eternity flows down into our lives with details of events that we do not understand but are the beginning of the parade of the process that is God's finished work. He tells the end from the beginning. Everything flows from his throne down into our lives and back in that eternal circle to him. His plans for us cannot be circumvented by any power or force. We should walk in the true faith of Biblical predestination. This is not an unconditional eternal security issue but the fact that God has drawn the lines and allowed us to help by our participation to fill in the frame of reference. He has already viewed the finished image. Although we feel that we are at the mercy of some strange forces, we are confident that the Shepherd will take us through to his best pastures.
On the table before us, is the same type of supernatural bread for us to go for days as Elijah did before the pursuing forces. Our system may feel jolted and in shock by some battle or affliction, but his purpose will diminish and remove the obstacles that would try to prevent the fulfillment of his word in our lives. His planting has all the Spiritual DNA that will make the harvest of his promises to be bountiful in the place we have been planted. The planter and gardener are the one and the same. If he died to make the planting possible, his life will make the fruition even more abundant.
Drought may be all around us, and the heat of the day may try to drive us into confusion. His directive in our mouths will bring us forth with the certain riches of deliverance and abundance in our bosom; therefore, we will not weep but rejoice. We will not practice the songs of the mournful but of the victorious. Our song of rejoicing shall rise above the den of noise to silence it at the end of the day.
(Continued)
I am your covert from the searching things of the hour. As I did not allow you to plunge to the bottom of the canyon of ignorance, I have also kept your feet from falling and given you more grace in the time when many are falling. Lift up your voice and offer sacrificial praise. Praises that do not cost you anything are also worthless praises unto me. I desire effectual, fervent praises that are poured out unto me as precious water that you have risked your life for.
335. Why offer me anything that did not cost you something?
336. Am I a god, or am I the Living Eternal God?
