The Glory of the Lord Has Arisen upon You; Now Behold the Abundance of His Glory

Arise early and seek me. In the morning of your life, I will greet you with the freshness of my love and its inspiration. The relationship that I fostered has been returned to you. The communion once held in high esteem has been revived in you. The table of fresh bread is prepared for you. Fresh water is poured from on high and light is shining in the paths of righteousness for my name's sake. Receive of my goodness and rejoice in the presence of redemption. The darkness of the latter times is upon this world. Gross darkness has covered the entire earth. There is only one place that the darkness is prohibited. Seek this place, and you will find the peace granted by the Prince of Peace. Light has come to you, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. Though darkness has covered the earth and gross darkness the people, I have arisen upon you. My glory shall be seen upon you. From your nations, this light is shining, and many have come to this glorious light. Kings have come to the brightness of my rising. Lift up your eyes from the small things of your own comprehension, and behold the abundance of my glory.

Your entire nation walked in darkness, but now they have seen the great light. Those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, have the light shining upon them. I came with the government upon my shoulder. The increase of my government and peace has no end. Upon the throne of David, I sat and established a government with judgment and justice. I performed it with my own zeal, not the zeal of man. The tabernacle of David has been raised. You now have walls of salvation and gates of praise. I am the everlasting light of this tabernacle. I am your glory. I am your everlasting light. I have come to end your mourning. Only believe. I have made you the branch of my planting. You are the work of my own hands. Allow me to be glorified within you. I shall multiply and I shall add. I shall take a little one and it shall become a thousand. In this time, I am hastening to do an awesome work. Go and declare the time of repentance. The kingdom of heaven has come. The God of the kingdom is giving true knowledge of salvation by the remission of sins. The tender mercies of your God brought you the dayspring from on high, and now the light of love is guiding you into the way of peace. Even those who have sat in darkness, see this great light. Go and bear witness of this light, which lights every man that comes into the world. Many believe though you do not see the multitudes. The condemnation, that light is come into the world, has blinded the evil and freed those who love light rather than darkness. Everyone that does evil hates this light, but those who do truth, come to the light that their deeds may be manifest that they are wrought in God Almighty. I have not listed your sins. I have asked, “Where are your accusers?”

Behold them in the far away dust and chaff. I have sent them away in the breath of wisdom. I am your light. Follow me, and you will not walk in darkness. I am the light of life. Love me with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. Do not love the praise of men. I am your light in this world. Simply believe on me, and you will not abide in darkness. Much vanity is in the world. Let no one deceive you with vain words. Go from the presence of those who speak with vain words. The wrath of God will come upon these children of disobedience. Do not be a partaker with the children of disobedience. You are no longer in darkness. You are light in me. Walk as a child of light. Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. All things that are reproved are made manifest by the light. Whatever is manifested is light. It is time to awake out of your sleep and slumber. Arise from the deadness of your traditions. I will give you true light. Understand what my will is and do not be foolish in this hour. Be filled with the Spirit. Speak to others in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to me. Prepare yourself for the city that I have made. Its streets are pure gold. The city has no need of the sun or moon to shine in it. I am the glory that lights it. Behold, I show you a pure river of water of life. Behold the throne of the Lord before you. Walk up to me, your blessed hope, and receive the blessings of my goodness. Repent and return to the fellowship of love. I am your bright and morning star. If you are thirsty, then come. Come and take the water of life freely.

ACCUSERS, DARKNESS, DISOBEDIENCE, VANITY, AND TRADITIONS

I will arise early and seek God. In the morning of my life, he will greet me with the freshness of his love and its inspiration. The relationship that he fostered has been returned to me.

Whatever is manifested is light. It is time to awake out of my sleep and slumber. I arise from the deadness of my traditions. Jesus will give me true light. I must understand what his will is and not be foolish in this hour. I will be filled with the spirit. I will speak to others in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in my heart to God. I will prepare myself for the city that God has made. Its streets are pure gold. The city has no need of the sun or moon to shine in it. Jesus is the glory that lights it. God has shown me a pure river of water of life. I behold the throne of the Lord before me.

RE: RHEMA - The Glory of the Lord Has Arisen upon You; Now Behold the Abundance of His Glory

Creation's sunrise is in the face of the faithful follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. Eden's dawn is in the sparkling eyes of those who have beheld the glory of the Lord and are transformed into the same image from glory to glory. We are not hopelessly resigned to go from failure to failure but from victory to victory. Bright stars rise and fall in the universe, but the day star in our hearts will never decline or be eclipsed. In him, there is no fading our shadow of turning. Fresh water and bread are on the table of bread that the New Testament priesthood has set in the tabernacle of mercy. It is not time to fold up the tent of grace but to enlarge the curtains of heaven's blessing to include whosoever will.

Darkness has tried to send its storms and rolling blackouts into all the earth. We who are plugged into heaven's power grid will never have a power failure. Darkness has tried to destroy the light of hope for many, but the light of God's grace does much more abound. Abundance of God's blessing will never be neutralized by the attempts of hell to divert our attention from the one who gives every good and perfect gift. Our gratitude and praise will light the candlesticks of worship so that all will behold the beauty of the King and the provision of his glory over the mercy seat as the fire of the censor of praise sends a cloud inside the holy of holies. God's brilliant Shekinah of glory shined on the face of Moses and Stephen. Its brilliant rays of joy and hope will illuminate the face of those who are looking to Jesus the author and finisher of our faith. Our beloved has embraced us with his arms, and we are dancing in the light of the chandeliers of eternal promises that will continue to unfold as we worship him.

I have designed victory. Now show forth praise unto me, and I will dwell in these praises as a secret weapon against the enemy. Show forth the triumphant praises of your King, and I will show forth my strength against the enemy. Do not look at the greatness of the problems, but look at the awesomeness of your God. Compare the entire problem to me. Who is greater?

Then show forth praises, and they shall be the fanfare for my glory. Show forth praises, and I will ambush these spirits that have attempted to mask the will of God. I am leading you. I am the good shepherd, not a bad shepherd. I know the way you should take; therefore, allow me to lead your life, and submit all things unto me. Count all things lost and all things dung. Do not count anything gain, and then will you be guarded from the subtlety of hatred. The spirit of hatred has studied you and your mannerisms. Look no longer to the arms of flesh for answers. Simply look to the arm of the Lord. I have revealed it to you. Now show forth the strength of praise, and I will show forth the strength of my right arm.

RE: RHEMA - The Light of Joy in the Time of Weariness and Regret

We are encouraged to be not weary in well doing. We will not faint or pass out this close to seizing the prize of the high calling in Christ. We have been given the oil of joy instead of the spirit of heaviness. His joy is the strength that no earthly source can supply. His joy is not obtained by our fabrication, but it flows out of the rivers and wells of salvation that we use joy as a bucket to drink out of. Even if our circumstance for the moment appears not to be joyous, we can take the cup of joy that we drank of the miracles of the past and hold it up to the Lord, and he will fill it with the miracles of today.

Come to the belief of Abraham and offer a good profession in the face of these things. The territory that I have sent you unto is no different than any other place. I am the God that shall save those people from their sins and bring them out of bondage.

199. Is anything too hard for me, the Living God?

Minister unto me, and you shall behold the power of my deliverance that I have wrought on behalf of my own name. My name is a mighty weapon in your bosom. Speak my name and behold the things that back away from your presence. Lift your voice in the sanctuary. Lift your voice in the streets. Do not be silent in this hour of harlotry. Show forth the faith within you. The enemy desires you to falter and doubt in this hour of opportunity. Arise to the occasion before you and speak words of faith in this due season. Do not be weary in well doing. You will reap if you do not faint.

200. Why faint when you have faith?

RE: PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING - January 6, 2007

Light and liberty are our itinerary. Victory and blessing are our heritage. We do not subsist on the scraps of fear but on the buffets of blessings. Darkness can never rule over the light. We have a God who calls the light out of the darkness. Many astrophysicist have said that darkness is only light that we are not able to see. If we have been promised the treasures of the darkness and the great revelations that are hidden there, then there is more to what we perceive as darkness. Modern technology is able to probe into what appears to be darkness in the universe and reveal rainbows of color and energy full of life. In the 139th Psalm, David explains that the light and the darkness are alike unto God. If we say that the darkness will cover us then God is there. We have learned that night vision technology can light up the night just like the day. If man can do this what can God do? If we see darkness on the horizon of the events of our lives we can know that this is just the shadow of the greatness of God coming our way! The One who is the Bright and Morning Star and the light of the city that has shined in our hearts and given us a more sure word of prophecy. The day of greatness has dawned in our lives. There shall be light at the evening time like no other day because the One who called the light day is calling our day light before us!

Lord, I thank you that I am not hopelessly resigned to go from failure to failure, but I am designed to go from victory to victory. You have granted me the grace to arise early and seek you. In the morning of my life, you will greet me with the freshness of your love and its inspiration. I am so grateful that the relationship that you fostered has been returned to me. The communion once held in high esteem has been revived in me, and I appreciate the table of fresh bread prepared for me. Fresh water is poured from on high, and light is shining in the paths of righteousness for your name's sake. I receive of your goodness and rejoice in the presence of redemption.

The darkness of the latter times is upon this world. Gross darkness has covered the entire earth. There is only one place that the darkness is prohibited. I thank you for the grace to seek this place, and I will find the peace granted by you, the Prince of Peace. I rejoice for the light that has come to me, and your glory that has risen upon me. Though darkness has covered the earth and gross darkness the people, I give you thanks that you have arisen upon me. Your glory shall be seen upon me. Bright stars rise and fall in the universe, but you are the day star in my heart that will never decline or be eclipsed. From my nation, this light is shining, and many have come to this glorious light. Kings have come to the brightness of your rising. I praise you for the ability to lift up my eyes from the small things of my own comprehension and to behold the abundance of your glory.

I thank you for coming with the government upon your shoulder. The increase of your government and peace has no end. I thank you that you sat upon the throne of David and established a government with judgment and justice. I am grateful that you performed it with your own zeal, not the zeal of man. The tabernacle of David has been raised. I now have walls of salvation and gates of praise. Jesus, you are the everlasting light of this tabernacle. You are my glory and my everlasting light. Thank you for coming to end my mourning and to make me the branch of your planting. I am grateful for the work of your own hands. I allow you to be glorified within me. I am so glad that you shall multiply and you shall add. You shall take a little one, and it shall become a thousand. In this time, you are hastening to do an awesome work. I declare the time of repentance, for the kingdom of heaven has come. I am thankful that you are the God of the kingdom who is giving true knowledge of salvation by the remission of sins. Your tender mercies have brought me the dayspring from on high, and now the light of love is guiding me into the way of peace. Even those who have sat in darkness see this great light. I will go and bear witness of you, the light, which lights every man that comes into the world. Though I do not see the multitudes, I know that many believe. The condemnation that light is come into the world has blinded the evil and freed those who love light rather than darkness. Darkness has tried to send its storms and rolling blackouts into all the earth, but I rejoice, for I am plugged into heaven's power grid, which will never have a power failure. I am so grateful that you have not listed my sins. You have asked me, “Where are your accusers?”, and by your grace I can answer, "There are none Lord." I shout and rejoice at your goodness unto me. I behold them in the far away dust and chaff. You have sent them away in the breath of wisdom.

You are my light. I thank you that I can follow you O Lord and not walk in darkness. You are the light of life. By your grace, I will love you with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength. I will not love the praises of men. You are my light in this world. I will simply believe on you, and I will not abide in darkness. Much vanity is in the world. By grace, I will not let anyone deceive me with vain words. I will go from the presence of those who speak with vain words, for your wrath will come upon these children of disobedience. I will not be a partaker with the children of disobedience. I am no longer in darkness. I give you thanks for allowing me to be in the light. Now I will walk as a child of the light. I thank you for the grace to forsake and to reprove the fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness. As your grace continues to abound, I arise from the deadness of my traditions. You will give me true light. I am thankful that you are giving me understanding of your will and keeping me from foolish actions in this hour. I rejoice that I am filled with your Spirit. I will speak to others in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in my heart to you. I will prepare myself for the city that you have made. Its streets are pure gold. The city has no need of the sun or moon to shine in it. You are the glory that lights it. I give you thanks for showing me a pure river of the water of life. I behold your throne before me, and I thank you that I can walk up to you, my blessed hope, and receive the blessings of your goodness. I repent and return to the fellowship of love, for you are my bright and morning star. I am thirsty; therefore, I come and take the water of life freely. I praise you, my beloved, for you have embraced me with your arms, and I am dancing in the light of the chandeliers of eternal promises that will continue to unfold as I worship you.
