If the prophet that was greater than all others questioned his faith, how much more will you question your standing in this hour if you do not have me as your first love?
You can come from your spiritual prisons if you cast your loves before my feet and exalt me, the lover of your soul. Allow me to position your loves, and then will they be arranged in perfect order and in proper perspective. If I am not first in your life, then what will you do in the face of death?
I am life. When I am your first love, then life will be your defense in the face of death. Am I the defense in the face of death and not your defense in the face of all things?
Then rise up from defeat, and worship the King of all kings. I am near. If you would only feel after me with all your heart, then you would find me. I have a refreshing for you. Come and be refreshed.
(RHEMA: Our Hearts Are Kept by the God of Our First Love)
The prophet that was greater than all others questioned his faith, so if I do not have God as my first love, I will question my standing in this hour. I can come from my spiritual prisons if I cast my loves before his feet and exalt him, the lover of my soul. I allow God to position my loves and then will they be arranged in perfect order and in proper perspective. If he is not first in my life, then I can do nothing in the face of death. The Lord is life. When Jesus is my first love, then life will be my defense in the face of death. God is the defense in the face of death and my defense in the face of all things. Now I rise up from defeat and worship the King of all kings. He is near. If I would only feel after God with all my heart, then I would find him. The Lord has a refreshing for me today. I will go and be refreshed.

Spending Spiritual Wealth In the Harvest Field While Our Angelic Host Fights the Source of Elusive Distractions
(Part 2)
Look away to the cross again, and behold me spending myself for you. I did not spend myself and then allow an enemy to declare my currency worthless. The currency of my sorrow, my grief, my chastisement, my wounds, my bruises, my stripes, my blood, and all that I spent is not worthless currency that has been burned and cast aside as empty values. My works are forever settled as the foundation of your faith. Look again to the foundation of your faith, and see that it is not in your ability but in what I have already done. I am your righteousness. You have found me. The magnetism of my love drew you into the force field of holiness. Observe the lines in this magnetic field of my love, and see that these lines hold you and restrain you. No one can pluck you out this magnetic field of love.
I have sent a blow to the head of the enemy of the church. The door of love has opened to those I am drawing. Lift up your voice, and proclaim the love of God and the forgiveness of sins. I paid the most expensive price known for your sins to be forgiven. Now it is time that the world knows the preciousness of what I have bought for them. Redemption has purchased a great salvation. Many do not know the value of this great salvation that they possess. Don’t you know that angels desire to look into this relationship that I bought for you?
Silver and gold have no value comparable to the value of a right relationship with me. What silver and what gold will you give in exchange for what I have freely given you?
What possessions will you relinquish for your soul?
What will you receive from the darkness in exchange for me?
Settle the issues concerning your loves today, and press onward into the will of God. The time is short, and the hour is late. You have bought the truth. Now do not sell it. You have bought gold tried in the fire. Now go, and spend your tribulations, patience, experiences, and vision that others might be bailed out of trouble. Go and express the wealth of Christ in your life. I have given you the unsearchable riches of Christ. Spend it on the freedom of those who do not have liberty in Christ.

RE: RHEMA - Spending Spiritual Wealth In the Harvest Field While Our Angelic Host Fights the Source of Elusive Distractions (Part 2)
Jesus became poor for our sakes that through his poverty we could be made rich. His greatest riches are not in the material things that pass away, but in the spiritual and heavenly gifts and treasures of the Holy Ghost. When God returns honor and dignity to a person who has been ravaged by sin, they are rich beyond the best earthly estimations. Beyond the riches of his grace is the treasure of his love. Our world is so bankrupt of real love that it is more precious than diamonds or gold. We are enjoying in the Spirit spiritual wealth with peace of mind that billionaires could only dream of. Love has opened a door of access into the church in this hour. We who are rich in God's love need to beckon and call to the weary and the bruised to come to the everlasting arms of the One who loves them unconditionally. Earth has no resources of wealth that can compare with forgiveness and the release from the captivity of sin. If we have other interests and loves in this life beside the lost and our love for Jesus Christ, we are involved in a cheap gambling parlor that we will always lose in. We need to come into his presence weeping for the lost and the blessing of grace that we have in him and we will doubtless come rejoicing with the golden sheaves of the harvest.

RE: RHEMA: Enter Into the True Peaceful Habitation of the Lord, a Sure Dwelling and Quiet Place
Out of the book of Revelation comes the resplendent view of the bride that has made herself ready. Every spot and wrinkle has been erased from her vestments. She reflects the holy nature of the God who is her bridegroom. She has eyes only for him. All the fantasies of the world do not attract her because her desire is for the one who loved her when she was an enemy in her mind. Many suitors may try to court her, but she is devoted to the One Holy God of eternity.
Our hour has arrived to speak by revelation and not condemnation to those who are looking for our beloved, but they do not fully realize what they are seeking. We must present him as we received him as the revealed manifestation of the fullness of the Godhead manifested in the flesh of Jesus Christ. False teachers may declare other ideas, but they are the lies that lead to destruction.
Every foe that rises before us will have to contend with our Beloved. If they are our enemies, they are his enemies. We are promised that no weapon or device that is formed against us will prosper. We are safe in the protection that not only shelters us from every form of attack, but from the fear of the unseen and the unknown. Defeat will not come into our camp or dwelling. God will not allow us to come to confusion or shame. He will never allow our past to hold us hostage from the blessings that he will freely give to us. Oppression will not be the keeper of any gate that we should need to enter. Our husband is our creator in declaring the day as new and fresh every morning.
God's centerpiece of redemption is on display in the heavens. As his bride, we have and we will manifest the manifold grace and mercy that vindicates his wisdom before all that see it. Our rest is to cease from our labors and allow him to wrap us in the silky garments of the works finished from the foundation of the world. Our repose of peace is the envy of the universe. Drug companies would pay millions to capture what kind of peace we have in an eternal measure. Let us enter in without fear to the presence of the King who extends his scepter of peace to us.
(Continued)
Love must marry faith if there is to be victory in these last days. Faith works only by love. Faith without love shall not stand, neither shall it prevail against fear. Fear will come for its claim of victory, unless love cast out this terror of the night. Fear is a monster.
448. Will you contend with it with only faith as your weapon?
449. Will you hide from searching eyes of fear in the day time?
450. How will you escape without the weapons of love to fight for you?
