Many are ignorant of the promises to Abraham. How will you know your own promises if you do not know what I promised Abraham?

Abraham is the father of faith. If you are the children of faith, then learn of Abraham's ways and Abraham's God. If you are Christ's, then are you Abraham's seed and heirs according to the promises. What are the promises?

Go and learn of the fundamental truths common to an heir then will you cease your religious struggles to fight off the vultures of condemnation and failure. The vultures shall not eat your sacrifices of praise. The vultures of condemnation shall not prevail against those who have presented their bodies as living sacrifices, holy and acceptable unto me. I have taken your bondage for you. There is no need for a Hagar. There is no need for an Ishmael. There is no need for an Egyptian captivity. There is no need for a 400-year wait on the promises. There is no need for another Joseph. There is no need for another Moses. Greater than Joseph is here. Greater than Moses is here. Christ is here. Be strong in faith, and give me all glory. Christ has already come. Now awaken unto the promises that are within him.

Many are ignorant of the promises to Abraham. I will not know my own promises if I do not know what God promised Abraham. Abraham is the father of faith. If we are the children of faith, then we must learn of Abraham's ways and Abraham's God. If we are Christ's, then are we Abraham's seed and heirs according to the promises. I do not fully know the promises. I will go and learn of the fundamental truths common to an heir then will I cease my religious struggles to fight off the vultures of condemnation and failure. The vultures shall not eat my sacrifices of praise. The vultures of condemnation shall not prevail against those who have presented their bodies as living sacrifices, holy and acceptable unto God. Jesus has taken my bondage for me. There is no need for a Hagar. There is no need for an Ishmael. There is no need for an Egyptian captivity. There is no need for a 400-year wait on the promises. There is no need for another Joseph. There is no need for another Moses. Greater than Joseph is here. Greater than Moses is here. Christ is here. I will be strong in faith, and give Jesus all glory. Christ has already come. Now I will awaken unto the promises that are within him.

Wisdom's Recovery of Talents

The light of the world is not insufficient, but it is all sufficient. Your sufficiency is not of yourself, but it is of me. Lift up your voice for the light of the world, and proclaim the good news of my death, burial, and resurrection. My death was given to you as a present of love. By my love and my death, I have proclaimed to you my faithfulness. Shall I give my life for you and not provide for you?

Shall I give my life for you and not protect you?

Shall I give my life for you and not guide you through this life?

I gave my life a ransom for your sins, and now I do show forth the clarity of vision for the purpose of manifesting the fulfillment of my vision, which is given unto you by the spirit. The spirit within you knows where it is going. The gift within you leaps to arrive at its destination.

Lift up your voice in praise, and proclaim the good news of my death, burial, and resurrection, for the power of God unto salvation is in that message. The message of redemption is not an outdated message, but the message of the cross is fresh and vibrant in power and effectiveness. Those who are perishing despise the preaching of the cross and name it foolishness, but to those who are saved, it is the power of God. Open your mouth wide, and proclaim the good news of my death, burial, and resurrection, for the shame of the world cannot be removed without the good news of this event in history.

I brought good news to this world. Now lift up your voice, and proclaim the greatness of the message of my name. I have not lifted you from the pits and stripped you of everything. There were gifts and talents in you when I saved you. Now take all that you have that is good, and use it for my glory. You have counted many things lost, but wisdom dove deep into the pit of shame and retrieved the things that I want to use in your life. The enemy cannot strip you of the things that I desire to keep in your "ability bank;" therefore, know of a truth, that the things that I have sent forth in your life are working together for good. I love you, and you are called according to my purpose. Lift up your eyes now, and see the great things that I am doing. Do not fear the evil doers of the age, for you are hidden in me. Remain in this hiding place. Death and disease shall pass over. Poverty and pride will not find you in this hiding place, for they all must "check in" at the door of salvation. I will reject all the things that are not of me; therefore, prepare to unload, and cast out all the unwanted baggage that shall be stamped for rejection by my spirit.

RE: RHEMA - Wisdom's Recovery of Talents

His prophetic voice within us has declared his intentions and he will not lie. He has sworn that what he said will come to pass. We can of surety attach a double yes to every promise he has made. In the prophecy, he has given the vision. All those in the book of Hebrews saw the promises afar off. They embraced them and were persuaded by them even though they did not receive them. We, however, have received so many of the precious promises of the Lord. We have a bold assurance that he will never allow the enemy to spoil our camp and us not recover everything as David did at Ziglag. We are hidden behind the walls of his protective power. The things that once brutalized our hearts and minds are withheld from coming into us. Everything that we count loss will be balanced by the blessings that he has loaded us daily with. Wisdom built a house, and we are part of the construction plans. Our fortifications have been reinforced by the voice of wisdom crying in the high places of the city. Wisdom can turn every failure into fabulous faith if we allow it to have its perfect work.

INSUFFICIENCY, POVERTY, AND PRIDE

The light of the world is not insufficient, but it is all sufficient. My sufficiency is not of myself, but it is of God. I lift up my voice for the light of the world and proclaim the good news of Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection. His death was given to me as a present of love. By his love and his death, he has proclaimed to me his faithfulness.

The Lord has given his life for me, and he will provide for me. He has given his life for me, and he will protect me. He has given his life for me, and he will guide me through this life. He gave his life a ransom for my sins, and now he does show forth the clarity of vision for the purpose of manifesting the fulfillment of his vision, which is given unto me by the spirit. The spirit within me knows where it is going. The gift within me leaps to arrive at its destination.

RE: RHEMA - Fulfill Obedience, and Have a Readiness To Revenge All Disobedience

A while back, I was wrestling with the idea that I was just ranting and going on in my own feelings. God stopped me and said, "I note even the sighs of my people. Do not ever think that I would never be listening to even your groans. Every word of my people is precious to me."

I knew that as I spoke, even in my imagination, that God would many times rush in with a response that would take my breath away. Our enemy has done his best to silence us as he did with Jeremiah. God will silence the lie into a faint wind that the thunder of the trumpets of prophecy will drown out. As we continue to relate to God's leading, he will demolish the reaching incursions of the enemy that comes against us.

(Continued)

The counsel of wickedness awaits the time to rejoice at your failure and defeat. They wait anxiously to hear the reading of the verdict from on high of your fall and judgment. They have read their accusations to me and plead for judgment upon your life for wrong doings and failure. They have cried in my ears,"Will the judge of the entire earth not do right?" I have sent forth the declaration of forgiveness into the earth. The testimony of my blood will not be retracted. I have sought you to offer you mercy and goodness, yet the trail of the devourer has not been washed away. The enemy awaits your total defeat and will not settle for anything less. It wants to be rid of you that it might run rampant in the earth without the hindrances from the word of the Lord in a fresh state.

138. Where are the conspirators of subtlety and craftiness who influenced friends to betray you?

139. Where are the spirits that sought to abort the salvation of your mother and grandmother?
