There are dimensions of the Spirit that cannot be viewed except I reveal them. There are many dimensions of the Spirit. You have stood on the platform of faith and viewed some things. Have you stood on the platform of compassion and viewed the people?
Many leaders stand on the platform of faith and view the people, but many have never seen the people from the multilevel of compassion. Allow the gift that is in you to operate from goodness, graciousness, mercy, lovingkindness, and tender love. You have hindered the power of your gift because you open the valves of faith and shut the valves of compassion. I am reaching for you this morning to carry you on to greater levels in me. My hands will not pull you up into this level unless you yield to humility and compassion. The darkness cannot dwell in the light, neither can pride and indifference to my compassion dwell in the light of true wonders. Come and follow me. I am gracious and full of compassion. I am slow to anger and of great mercy. I am good to all, and my tender mercies are over all my works. Go and speak of my glory, and talk of my power, but walk in the light of compassion and humility.

The Grace of the Lord's Disgrace
If I were a man, then I would lie, for all men have sinned and come short of my glory. The glory of my integrity cannot be approached with man's ability because I am faultless and perfect. You came to me with grief and despair, although I have told you to enter into my gates with thanksgiving and into my courts with praise. I am sympathetic to your feelings and your emotions, yet I want a demonstration of faith and a demonstration of confidence in me from you. Am I greater than the problem?
Has my love changed because the problem lingers?
Have I ever forsaken you?
Are your hungry?
Are your clothed?
Do you have a roof over your head?
Do you have the modern conveniences of the day?
Are you saved?
Shall grief take the place of praise?
What shall grief and worry offer as a symbol of my faithfulness to you?
Will you show forth my reward by the expression of your worry?
How are the mighty fallen?
How is a Leviathan drawn out of the water when he is free and full of superior strength?
Will you become weak in trust as those who have no faith, or will you stand and proclaim the greatness of your God in the face of dilemma and uncertainty?
I have not left you ever. I brought you to this place in your experience to show forth the love of God. You are rooted and grounded in love. Shall circumstances plow to the foundation of my love and uproot you from the clutches of my love?
I have not designed you after my likeness and in my own image to have you fashioned after dishonor and disgrace. The glory of my cross has benefited you already. My shame and disgrace has turned up to your glory and grace unto you in this life. Lift up your eyes again unto confidence in me and not in your possessions. Life does not consist of the abundance of the things that you possess, but life has come through my name. I have placed life in you by the Holy Ghost. This life is a resurrected life, a life of total victory over even the grave. Come away from the faulty concepts of human reasoning. Look into the eyes of the thief on the cross, and behold his vision. I remembered him and carried him to paradise. I have never forgotten you and this day, you are in victory. Only believe.

RE: RHEMA - The Grace of the Lord's Disgrace
Infinite design details the provisions of his prosperity in our lives. God has by his grace justified us and who can condemn us? God has given the exceeding great and precious promises that cannot be reversed. We are blessed in him before the foundation of the world. Nothing that happens in time can transcend that which he has promised. The grace that was promised in him before the foundation of the world is the chariot of travel that will take us past every obstacle and into the banquet rooms of the pavilion of his abundant blessing. As I was praying before the prison services, God spoke to me and said, "Have I not performed at least 12 mighty miracles for you last year that no one else could have done? As I destroyed the perceived ability of the gods of Egypt one after another, I will also destroy the resistance to the powers that are in the earth that war against you with miracle after miracle all over again." Our Faith will not fail us because he has interceded for us as he did for the apostle Peter. Grace will not allow dishonor to leave us in the dust of the race. His love will carry us above the outstretched hands of destruction into the embrace of grace.
CIRCUMSTANCES AND DISGRACE
If God were a man, then he would lie, for all men have sinned and come short of his glory. The glory of his integrity cannot be approached with man’s ability because he is faultless and perfect. I came to him with grief and despair although he has told me to enter into his gates with thanksgiving and into his courts with praise. Jesus is sympathetic to my feelings and my emotions, yet he wants a demonstration of faith and a demonstration of confidence in him from me.
Jesus is greater than the problem. His love has not changed because the problem lingers. He has never forsaken me. I have food, I have clothes, I have a roof over my head, I have the modern conveniences of the day, and I am saved; therefore, I will not allow grief to take the place of praise. Grief and worry cannot offer anything as a symbol of God’s faithfulness to me. I cannot show forth God’s reward by the expression of my worry. Even though some have great strength, the mighty fall. The Leviathan is drawn out of the water although he is free and full of superior strength. I purpose not to become weak in trust as those who have no faith, but I will stand and proclaim the greatness of my God in the face of my dilemma and uncertainty.
God has not left me ever. He brought me to this place in my experience to show forth the love of God. I am rooted and grounded in love. Circumstances shall not plow to the foundation of God’s love and uproot me from the clutches of his love. The Lord has not designed me after his likeness and in his own image to have me fashioned after dishonor and disgrace. The glory of his cross has benefited me already.

RE: RHEMA - The Height of Impossibility Illustrates How High Your Faith Can Reach
God's wisdom uses inverse reciprocals of faith as he shows us to throw away our measuring instruments. The greater the problem or the higher the mountain the greater the miracle we can certainly expect. In our weakness, is the enigma or his strength. If promises of power flow out of questions that are impossible to answer, except that God would do it. We can be sure that if weakness seems to lay its draining blanket on our spirit, that the anointed mantle of incredible power is about to be placed on our spiritual shoulders. Our strength will flow like a massive river out of the pit that would have followed up our climbing steps up the mountains of our testing. We must wear the lens of faith and worship as we survey the terrain beneath us and above us. No matter what our senses tell us, we are going to the top safely with his help. Our mind may whirl about in the winds of adversity. Our spirits may be whipped about by winds that would try to remove us from the face of the mountain, but we must remember who made the mountains and who made the molecules of matter. Atoms of power are resident in them both. All of our seen world came out of the unseen, but we are seeing the marching hosts of his armies defeating the foe before us and the ropes of safety and camps of secured and fulfilled promises that await our arrival. Just beyond our ability is where he always extends into the oblivion beyond. We are not destined for a fall or failure but for victory and success.

Journey down the path of loneliness with me.
349. Will you settle the issues concerning eternal life in a crowd?
The path of loneliness is the path where you should learn to agree with me. Make your peace with me and relinquish yourselves and all that you have to me.
350. Am I your owner, or do you yet own yourselves?
