I am rich in mercy. I have quickened you together with Christ, raised you up together, and made you sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. The exceeding riches of my grace are shown to you by my kindness toward you, for by grace are you saved through faith and that not of yourself. It is the gift of God, not of works. If it is of works, then you could boast. I justified you by grace. Now you are heirs according to the hope of eternal life. I have enclosed you with curtains of grace. Do not open these curtains, or you will feel the accusations of condemnation. Remain veiled by grace, and victory is always certain. Many are condemned because they have disclosed their hiding place by opening the curtains of grace to walk after their own righteousness. The heat of condemnation cannot find you as long as you remain hidden behind grace. You are concealed, and there is no condemnation as long as you walk after the Spirit. Outside of grace, your nakedness is uncovered. Remain in the secret of grace.

(RHEMA: Hidden Behind the Curtain of Grace)

God is rich in mercy. He has quickened me together with Christ, raised me up together, and made me sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. The exceeding riches of his grace are shown to me by his kindness toward me, for by grace am I saved through faith and that not of myself. It is the gift of God, not of works. If it is of works, then I could boast. The Lord justified me by grace. Now I am an heir according to the hope of eternal life. He has enclosed me with curtains of grace. I will not open these curtains, or I will feel the accusations of condemnation. I will remain veiled by grace, and victory is always certain. Many are condemned because they have disclosed their hiding place by opening the curtains of grace to walk after their own righteousness. The heat of condemnation cannot find me as long as I remain hidden behind grace. I am concealed, and there is no condemnation as long as I walk after the Spirit. Outside of grace, my nakedness is uncovered. I purpose to remain in the secret of grace.

Lay Up For Yourself Treasures In Heaven

Every man shall be rewarded according to his works. Lay up treasures in heaven where thieves do not break through, nor steal. Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Do not lay up for yourself treasures upon earth where moth and rust corrupt. What have you gained if you have made gold your hope or said to the fine gold, "Thou are my confidence"?

What do you have if you have great wealth and hands that have gotten much?

If destruction from me becomes a terror unto you and you become the enemy of God, what do you have on your side?

Do not allow your heart to be secretly enticed, for I shall punish all evildoers. Do not deny me, the God that is above, by your works. Be careful that you do not secretly rejoice at the destruction of those who hate you, or lift up yourself when evil finds them. Do not suffer your mouth to sin by wishing a curse to his soul, but pray for those who have despitefully used you. Learn to keep your mouth with a bridle and to not sin with your tongue. Your days are as a vapor, and your age is as nothing. At your best state, you are altogether vanity. It does not profit you anything to walk in a vain show of pride, for if you gather up riches, who shall gather them up after you?

Place your trust in me, and wait on me. From me, comes salvation. I am your rock and your defense. I will not suffer you to be moved; therefore, do not delight yourself in lies. Many people bless with their mouths, but they curse inwardly. Wait on me, your God. I am your hope. Place your expectation in me. I am your rock and your salvation. I am your refuge. Trust in me at all times. I am not a respecter of persons. Men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie, for when they are both laid in my balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity. If your riches increase, set not your heart upon them, for power belongs unto me only. Mercy belongs unto me, and I will render to every man according to his work. When pride comes, then comes shame, but with the lowly, is wisdom. Be filled with integrity, and it shall guide you. Only righteousness shall deliver you. Riches do not profit you in the day of wrath. A wicked man shall fall by his own wickedness, but the righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way. Lay up your treasure in heaven. How much mercy and love have you laid up in heaven?

How much favor have you given others?

TEMPTATION TO SIN

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. (Genesis 1:1-3)

Every man shall be rewarded according to his works. I will lay up treasures in heaven where thieves do not break through, nor steal. Where my treasure is, there will my heart be also. I do not lay up for myself treasures upon earth where moth and rust corrupt. I have gained nothing if I have made gold my hope or said to the fine gold, "Thou are my confidence." I have nothing if I have great wealth and hands that have gotten much. If destruction from God becomes a terror unto me and I become the enemy of God, I have nothing on my side.

I will not allow my heart to be secretly enticed, for God shall punish all evildoers. By grace, I will not deny the Lord, the God that is above, by my works. I will be careful that I do not secretly rejoice at the destruction of those who hate me or lift up myself when evil finds them. I will determine not suffer my mouth to sin by wishing a curse to their soul, but I will pray for those who have despitefully used me. I am learning to keep my mouth with a bridle and to not sin with my tongue. My days are as a vapor, and my age is as nothing. At my best state, I am altogether vanity. It does not profit me anything to walk in a vain show of pride, for if I gather up riches, I don't know who shall gather them up after me.

I place my trust in God, and I wait on him. From the Lord, comes salvation. He is my rock and my defense. He will not suffer me to be moved; therefore, I will not delight myself in lies. Many people bless with their mouths, but they curse inwardly. I wait on the Lord, my God. He is my hope. I place my expectation in him. He is my rock and my salvation. He is my refuge. I trust in the Lord at all times. He is not a respecter of persons. Men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie, for when they are both laid in God's balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity. If my riches increase, I will not set my heart upon them, for power belongs unto God only. Mercy belongs unto him, and he will render to every man according to his work. When pride comes, then comes shame, but with the lowly, is wisdom. I will be filled with integrity, and it shall guide me. Only righteousness shall deliver me. Riches do not profit me in the day of wrath. A wicked man shall fall by his own wickedness, but the righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way. I lay up my treasure in heaven. I purpose to lay up mercy and love in heaven that I may give others much favor.

RHEMA

Don Grigsby

This came to me in the Spirit.

The morning of a new day has risen upon you. Let your life mirror its face. Shine forth with praise and the fresh words I have anointed you with. Yesterday's shadows are erased in the brilliant revelation I have shed forth in your life. Do not borrow from yesterday, for it will, with it, be an unpayable debt. Today's word and tomorrow's promise already have heavenly interest compounded in them. You will be able to erase the shadows of the darkness of the evil one by the things I have laid in your heart. Unless my revelation is spoken, the darkness will continue to cover the days that should be lit with my love.

PERSUADED

Be persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature shall be able to separate you from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus, your Lord.

381. You can confess this, but are you really persuaded?

THE POWER OF GOD

I am the same Jesus who poured out the Spirit on the day of Pentecost. (Acts 2:33) I am the same Jesus who raised the dead. I am the deliverer who has all power.

382. Is my power insufficient in your dilemma?

I have given you power over serpents, over scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy.

383. When will you rise up and use the power within you?

I am the supreme authority in heaven and earth. My power has always been the same, but at Calvary, I magnified it. The magnification of my love is only seen through the act of love that I displayed. You may now, without doubt, express a dependent attitude toward me because of the love that I expressed. The gospel is the power of God to everyone that believes. There is no major power in the earth more powerful than preaching the gospel.

384. What power can turn a sinful man into a righteous man?

Behold my power. I desire you to become more aware of the influence of my power in your life. I am the administrator of power. Yield yourself to me, and behold the working of my mighty power in your life. The activity of my power is awesome. If you could visualize the working of my power in your life, you would surely be confident of the greatness of it. However, you do not walk by sight, but you walk by faith. Only believe that I am greater than all other forces and powers. I am the power that moves all things. I am the power that sustains all things. I have all power. I have power to produce the changes that are needed in this life and in you. Behold my power.

385. Have you ever observed the power of heat?

386. Have you ever observed the power of sound?
