Give thanks for my goodness unto you. I have allowed you to be a part of my plan. You did not ask to be a part of this kingdom. You were in another kingdom, a kingdom of darkness. You were without me in the world. You were a stranger to this blessedness that you have now. I planned this for you before the foundation of the world. Before there was a world, I included you in my plan. Be thankful and rejoice. I have brought you into the fellowship of saints who have a common faith. This thread of faith runs throughout my kingdom. I have given you this faith. Now you may please me. The faith that you have is the faith of Jesus Christ. Now on the strength of his faith, rise up, and possess the fullness of your inheritance. You are an heir to many blessings. My divine power has already granted you all things that pertain unto life and godliness. Be assured that what my power has granted cannot be removed by your enemy. All the things that I bought in redeeming you are available to you. Cease living as a stranger to the covenants of promise, and live as an heir to the unsearchable riches of Christ. I have given you the exceeding greatness of my power. In you, I have manifested the same power that was wrought in Christ. Behold the riches of the glory of my inheritance in you, the saints of God. Have I redeemed you and thrust you into the hands of the enemy?

(RHEMA: The Thread of Faith Runs Throughout God's Kingdom)

 

I give thanks for the Lord's goodness unto me. He has allowed me to be a part of his plan. I did not ask to be a part of this kingdom. I was in another kingdom, a kingdom of darkness. I was without God in the world. I was a stranger to this blessedness that I have now. He planned this for me before the foundation of the world. Before there was a world, he included me in his plan. I am thankful, and I rejoice. The Lord has brought me into the fellowship of saints who have a common faith. This thread of faith runs throughout his kingdom. He has given me this faith; therefore, I may now please him. The faith that I have is the faith of Jesus Christ. On the strength of his faith, I rise up and possess the fullness of my inheritance. I am an heir to many blessings. His divine power has already granted me all things that pertain unto life and godliness. I am assured that what his power has granted cannot be removed by my enemy. All the things that he bought in redeeming me are available to me. I cease living as a stranger to the covenants of promise, and I live as an heir to the unsearchable riches of Christ. He has given me the exceeding greatness of his power. In me, God has manifested the same power that was wrought in Christ. I behold the riches of the glory of his inheritance in me, a saint of God. He has redeemed me; therefore, he has not thrust me into the hands of the enemy.

Offer Thanksgiving Unto God, and the Sounds of Praise Shall Make a Way Through the Dark Things That Surround You

I was accused falsely for you. The people rejected me that you may be accepted. Those who were persecuted for my sake were blessed. Those who are mine are persecuted today for my name's sake. The servant is not greater than his master. I was sold for 30 pieces of silver. The weight of betrayal was too much to bear for the one who was disloyal to me; therefore, death claimed his life. I was called a blasphemer, and this claim was laid at my door. The princes of this world did not know who I was; therefore, I was crucified but for your sakes. If my kingdom had been of this world, my servants would have fought. I was born to bear witness of the truth. I bore witness of it, and now everyone is made free by the truth. For the truth, I was mocked. A crown of thorns was placed on my head for the truth. I forgave my tormentors because they did not know what they were doing. I was despised and rejected of men. I was a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief as I bore your grief and carried your sorrows.

The expense of your salvation had to be paid. Though it was expensive, I paid for it willingly. My soul was made an offering for your sins. The travail of my soul was seen, and justice was satisfied. By my knowledge, I justified many as I bore their iniquities. Many cried out for me to save myself, but they did not know that I was saving them. Look to my crucifixion again today, and draw strength and understanding from it. There upon the cross, I surely bore your griefs, and carried your sorrows; was smitten of God, and afflicted. I was wounded for your transgressions. I was bruised for your iniquities. The chastisement of your peace was upon me, and with my stripes, you were healed. I became as a worm, was reproached of men, and despised of the people. They laughed me to scorn. They shot out their lips and shook their heads. All of this was for your sake.

As many bulls compassing one about, they beset me round about. They gaped upon me with their mouths. As a ravening and a roaring lion, they opened their mouths against me. They poured me out like water while my bones were out of joint. My heart became as wax and was poured out in the midst of my bowels. I had no strength left, and my tongue cleaved to my jaws as I was brought down to the dust of death. As dogs, they compassed me about, and they pierced my hands and my feet. For your sake, I paid all the expenses that you are charged with now. Rise up, and lay hold on all that I bought for you by my cross. The currency of my blood is never devaluated by unbelief and the assembly of the wicked. Look to my sufferings, and behold the reason for faith.

Calvary will always be the foundation of the economy of grace. As gold was the standard for our currency we have blood that is so precious that it cannot be equaled by anything on this earth. We are bought with precious blood beyond the ability of man to establish its value. Our Savior was sold and crucified for the pittance of thirty pieces of silver. His agony and suffering went beyond blood shedding and purchased for us the peace that passes all understanding. Unbelief has staged many theatrical productions to entice us away from his grace and blood bought salvation. We will not listen to its deceitful lips because they are filled with corruption and fraud. He was crushed and bruised for our failures when we did not even ask him to do it. What will he do if we ask him?

If we will continually behold the cross as Paul instructed us to, we will never be moved away from the faith that has been given us by his precious blood. If we deny him, he will not deny himself. He will never say, "It was not worth it." He will never unlove us. He will never go and retract his blood. It is finished, and doubt is finished in the process.

 

BETRAYAL

Jesus was accused falsely for me. The people rejected him that I might be accepted. Those who were persecuted for his sake were blessed. Those who are his are persecuted today for his name's sake. The servant is not greater than his master. He was sold for 30 pieces of silver. The weight of betrayal was too much to bear for the one who was disloyal to him; therefore, death claimed his life. He was called a blasphemer, and this claim was laid at his door. The princes of this world did not know who he was; therefore, he was crucified but for our sakes.

RHEMA

By Don Grigsby

 

The Rhema that came to Mary was certain that nothing was impossible with God. As God created in the beginning with his voice, so is he doing in the last days. I was praying for the services, and the Spirit of the Lord came to me and said these words:

Light and sound will demonstrate a demonstration of my power in a magnitude never before seen in the earth. Revelation will remove the walls of obstruction and tradition. My utterance sends forth hosts of heavenly hosts to defeat the foes that have been assembled against my church. What will be uttered in the ears of my faithful servants, will become more powerful than any technology man has ever considered. My words will not only sweep aside oceans of resistance, but they will absorb the deep seas of hurt and pain that have tried to drown multitudes. All the words you have uttered that have not seemed to bring forth will bring forth fruit overnight as the rod did before my oracle. Prayers that have seemed to be stored in forgotten files will be the front page story of heaven's declaration. All of this I will do for my great name's sake. All the lies and skepticism that have been cast into your face will be swept away like dust before the wind. Do not fret of the loud voices of those who declare that miracles are few and far between. Soon, even they will be amazed at the multitude of the miracles that will multiply throughout the land.

 

 

REACTION TO WRONG DOINGS

The kingdom of God suffers violence, and the violent take it by force. Grace is working a holy violence for you. Be not disturbed because of the attitudes of brethren against you, for brethren shall deliver brethren to death, and you shall be hated of all men for my name's sake. He that endures unto the end shall be saved. You were persecuted in one city. You fled into this city. Now accept this as the grace of God working in your life. You are not above me. You should be pleased to have suffered as I have suffered.

425. If they have called me false, is it a wonder that they call you false?

 

Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If you love the world, the love of the Father is not in you. The world will pass away and the lust thereof, but he that doeth the will of God abides forever. The world hated me before it hated you.

426. If men hate you, then are they of the world or of the truth?

 

REJECTION

If you were of the world, the world would love its own, but because you are not of the world, it hates you. I have chosen you out of the world; therefore, the world hates you. You are not greater than your Lord. If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you.

427. If they have not kept my sayings, why do you expect them to keep yours?

 

They are doing all these things to you because of my name's sake because they know not him that sent you. My sheep hear my voice.

428. Why do you think that they reject the voice of God and the Rhema word?
