I am the Friend who sticks closer than any brother. You are supported divinely in every trial. Now rejoice, and be glad. The greatest hope is set before you. Be comforted in the fact that it is impossible for me to lie. I am the hope of glory, Christ in you. I have sworn that you will inherit the promises. Now do not be slothful. Be full of faith, and be patient. I cannot lie. It is impossible for me. You are a part of the multiplication promised. I have already declared, "Surely blessing, I will bless thee, and multiplying, I will multiply thee." After Abraham had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. He did not stagger at my promises through unbelief. He was strong in faith, giving glory unto me. I have removed the stumbling blocks in your path. Now press through this fog with strong faith as you give glory unto me. Open your mouth, and clear this fog with a strong profession of faith that does not waver. I promised, and I am faithful.

Be Strong In Faith While You Give Glory To God

 

What I have promised, I will perform. You have believed; therefore, are you counted righteous. You have struggled in vain as you have considered so many things of yourself. Now cease your struggle to make things happen, and enter into the works of the rest. The works performed in the works of the rest are spiritual products and not carnal manifestations of self-righteousness. Enter again into my rest, and cease from your own works of the flesh. Remember, I ceased from my works on the seventh day. Allow me to show you the beauty of the works of the rest. Look to my sacrifice of the Lamb of God. Behold your death, burial, and resurrection, which was your part in the covenant that I made with you. Know of a surety, that the effects of the covenant are now working on your behalf. You will behold the power of the smoking furnace and the burning lamp in your life continually. Look to me, your furnace and your lamp. I am your light and your consuming fire. Look to this light and this ability to consume the things that need to be consumed. Avoid the temptations that come with enticing persuasions to draw you into a trust in the flesh. I have not prevented you from receiving the promises given you. In due time, the fulfillment shall manifest itself. The tempter has come to seduce you to lean on the arm of flesh.

Beware of the hands near you that shall become the hands of offerings from the flesh. You must be fully persuaded lest your love for the owner of these hands becomes the persuasion that convinces you to trust in the flesh. Many have brought upon themselves great sorrow because of their intimacy with the offerings of the flesh. The offspring of these relationships hinder revival in the lives of many even now. The offspring of these intimacies with the works of the flesh are against you at this very moment. Unless you cast out the offspring of the works of your flesh, you shall be bound by their contempt. Remember the new covenant that I have made with you, and cease your continual war with these offspring. Cast them out, and continue your walk of faith. Know of a truth, that the power of your baptism has assured you of the benefits of the covenant. You are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh as you were buried with me in baptism.

I have revealed myself unto you. Now come, and sup with me, and I will eat of your praise and your worship. With my light and my furnace, I shall consume your offerings as a sacrifice well pleasing. As a sweet savor of incense, I have received your offerings, and now I will confirm my promises through that which is weak and unlikely. I have promised. It is impossible for me to lie. I will do a marvelous work for my name's sake; therefore, fear not that the promises will not come to pass. I have promised. Consider not your own self, neither the deadness of the things about you. Do not stagger at my promises through unbelief, but be strong in faith while you give glory to me. Be fully persuaded that what I have promised, I will perform.

Pray and your effectual prayers shall avail much. Pray not for those who are not fit. They have declared their unworthiness by their actions. You cannot change my mind concerning these things that I shall crystallize before your face and before the world. Go on to the things that are of purpose, and cease your worrying and praying about the things outside of my will.

Many are drunk on the wine of worry and unbelief. Their spiritual drunkenness has mocked their faith and impregnated them with minds of human reasoning and not the mind of faith. Their spiritual incest has produced the filthy seed of the hour. The seed has now become an abode for unbelievers who follow not faith. Now abides faith, hope, and charity. Follow the steps of the father of faith. Follow hope. It will not make you ashamed. Follow charity. It will lead you to fulfillment. Follow peace with all men and holiness and then you will see me, the Promiser.

RE: RHEMA - Be Strong In Faith While You Give Glory To God

God's glory is his reputation, dignity, honor, and character. He will never allow that glory or honor to be brought low by the lies of the enemy. His faithfulness is eternal. Abraham was strong in faith and considered not his limitations or that of his wife. We must not allow the limitations and failures of others to dictate our expectation from the Lord. We are living by his faith. He has prayed for us, as he did Peter, that our faith would fail us not. Love never faileth. If faith worketh by love that never fails, then it is not ever an option for his faith to fail in operation in us. There will always be those who stand close by and mumble and mutter words of limitation. Skeptics, pessimists, and cynics may turn out in multitudes, but God does not need a multitude to work a miracle. He only needs one voice to cry out and one hand to lift the rod of power over the Red sea of impossibility. I believe that all the chariots of destruction that have been pursuing the people of God are about to be washed away in the flood of great deliverance.

 

CARNALITY AND UNBELIEF

What God has promised, he will perform. I have believed; therefore, I am counted righteous. I have struggled in vain as I have considered so many things of myself. I now cease my struggle to make things happen and enter into the works of the rest. The works performed in the works of the rest are spiritual products and not carnal manifestations of self-righteousness. I enter again into his rest and cease from my own works of the flesh. I remember that God ceased from his works on the seventh day. I will allow him to show me the beauty of the works of the rest. I look to his sacrifice of the Lamb of God. I behold my death, burial, and resurrection, which was my part in the covenant that God made with me. I know of a surety, that the effects of the covenant are now working on my behalf. I will behold the power of the smoking furnace and the burning lamp in my life continually. I look to Jesus, my furnace and my lamp. He is my light and my consuming fire. I look to this light and this ability to consume the things that need to be consumed. I determine to avoid the temptations that come with enticing persuasions to draw me into a trust in the flesh. God has not prevented me from receiving the promises given me. In due time, the fulfillment shall manifest itself. The tempter has come to seduce me to lean on the arm of flesh.

I will beware of the hands near me that shall become the hands of offerings from the flesh. I must be fully persuaded lest my love for the owner of these hands becomes the persuasion that convinces me to trust in the flesh.

He will do a marvelous work for his name's sake; therefore, I will not fear that the promises will not come to pass. He has promised. I will not consider my own self, neither the deadness of the things about me. I purpose not to stagger at his promises through unbelief, but I will be strong in faith while I give glory to God. I am fully persuaded that what he has promised, he will perform.

I will pray, and my effectual prayers shall avail much. I will not pray for those who are not fit. They have declared their unworthiness by their actions. I cannot change God's mind concerning these things that he shall crystallize before my face and before the world. I choose to go on to the things that are of purpose and cease my worrying and praying about the things outside of God's will. Many are drunk on the wine of worry and unbelief. Their spiritual drunkenness has mocked their faith and impregnated them with minds of human reasoning and not the mind of faith. Their spiritual incest has produced the filthy seed of the hour. The seed has now become an abode for unbelievers who follow not faith. Now abides faith, hope, and charity. I elect to follow the steps of the father of faith. I follow hope. It will not make me ashamed. I follow charity. It will lead me to fulfillment. I follow peace with all men and holiness and then will I see Jesus, the Promiser.

 

INSPIRATION

RE: RHEMA - The Righteous Have Heard the Sound of Redemption and Accepted the Trumpet's Blast of Surrender

No notes of defeat or condemnation for the righteous. Their ears are tuned to the pitch of the silver of the redemption of grace. Many songs that are played within and without would try to lead us away from the announcement of liberty for the soul. We have decided the battle is the Lord's. His blood has not only paid the price of my redemption but won the battle over every false accusation that could ever come my way. Our will is resting in his will. We have ceased to struggle with the reservations and dreads of the flesh, and rest in the finished work of the cross.

 

Though many things seem to remain the same, all things are passing away. Time is passing away. It is not just another day. Time is passing away. Time shall rush on through a portion of eternity until it has exhausted the fuel of time then time shall be no more.

91. Where will you spend eternity?

92. Why will you spend eternity in the place you are destined to go?

93. What will determine where you will spend eternity?

94. Are the sufferings of this present time worthy to divert you from heaven?

95. Why have you halted to tabernacle your hurts and your fears, when the wind of wrath shall blow your sand tabernacle away?
