The Restoration of True Joy and the Obliteration of Our Enemies

(Part 1)

I made this day for you to rejoice in; therefore, do not allow the languishing effect of unbelief to weigh on the scales of your faith. Thrust the effect of languishing far from you and be assured of total joy. I have given you salvation. Accept the restored joy of it. The restored joy that I have given you will not fade away, neither is it weak in strength. It will not grow weak in the coming trials. It will grow stronger as you exercise it. You have allowed the enemy to bring a counterfeit joy to you. Cast it down and pick up my joy again. My joy will not perish, neither will it corrode and become rancid. My joy does not leave a sour taste in your mouth. There is no “sell-by date” on my joy. It is now and forever. Many of my people have sour attitudes because they have accepted the counterfeit joy of the devil. Go and proclaim true joy that is not dependent upon sight and feeling. My joy is totally dependent upon me.

My people must be washed. I have sent the valet of the spirit among them. Submit your lives to be laundered and spirit-cleaned. In the natural, some clothes are not cleaned unless they are dry-cleaned. In the spirit, all things are spirit-cleaned. Give your lives to the valet and receive a fresh unsullied experience. I am giving all who come with faith a pristine joy. This pristine joy is immaculate and unspoiled by philosophy and vain deceit. It is spotless, faultless, and brand new. The false teachers have not used this joy. They cannot imitate it, for it is pure and undefiled by man. They have not touched it, for I gave it to you from the throne. The false teachers cannot enter in to this dimension; neither can they see what is happening here because they are not born again.

Do not despise those who weep, for they that sow in tears shall reap in joy. Those that go forth with weeping, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing their sheaves with them. People have joy by the answer of their mouths. Teach them to express their joy, which is their strength. Expressed joy shall be heard afar off. I am turning sorrow to joy, mourning into a good day, and grief into elation. I want you to have a feast of joy; therefore, go forth and give joy to the poor in spirit.

COUNTERFEIT JOY, DECEIT, HEAVINESS, LANGUISHING, AND PHILOSOPHY

(Part 1)

The Lord made this day for me to rejoice in; therefore, I do not allow the languishing effect of unbelief to weigh on the scales of my faith. I thrust the effect of languishing far from me, and I will be assured of total joy. The Lord has given me salvation. I accept the restored joy of it. The restored joy that he has given me will not fade away, neither is it weak in strength. It will not grow weak in the coming trials. It will grow stronger as I exercise it. I have allowed the enemy to bring a counterfeit joy to me. I cast it down and pick up the joy of the Lord again. His joy will not perish, neither will it corrode and become rancid. His joy does not leave a sour taste in my mouth. There is no “sell-by date” on his joy. It is now and forever. Many of God’s people have a sour attitudes because they have accepted the counterfeit joy of the devil. I will go and proclaim true joy that is not dependent upon sight and feeling. The joy of the Lord is totally dependent upon Jesus.

RHEMA

I felt this in my heart at least two times as I prayed.

Thine enemy has come to spoil your precious gift. The spoken words of prophecy are the jewels of power in the breastplate of my priests. They are the weaponry that demolishes the works of the enemy. My words leave him as a carcass trodden under foot. The terrible one shall be brought to naught, and the scorner will be consumed. After all of David's kindness, Nabel refused to acknowledge David. Abigail prevented David from slaying Nabel. She told him that he had a higher calling. God smote Nabel, and he died. You have rejoiced over victories like Jericho. Now the sorrows of places like Ai would pull you down. You shall arise and go to Gibeon and command the very heavens to stand still. All the enemies will hear of it, and their hearts shall melt in them. Remember, I have given you the treasure of the ages in my prophetic Words. Your enemy will be recognized, so he sends humanity to corrupt your gift and leave you thinking less of it in the struggle you are weary of. Humanity will always have a tendency to corrupt deity. Cleave to that which is precious, and ignore that which is vile. Keep speaking the words of promise and blessing, and they will consume the words of strife.

I shall descend with the voice of an archangel, and those who love my appearing shall hear my voice. How will you love my appearing if you find my commandments grievous?

I have said, "Seek you first the kingdom of God and his righteousness;" therefore, cease your search for success and fame then will all the things that I desire to send you become yours by the hand of multiplication. Success in Christ Jesus is not obtained as success is awarded to the worshippers of the gods of the world. You will stumble in the day if your faith is in self and human ability. Will you use human ability against principalities and powers of the regions of the darkness of this world?

(RHEMA: Saved from the Distractions and Entertainment In the World by the Love of God)

The Lord shall descend with the voice of an archangel, and those who love his appearing shall hear his voice. There is no way to love his appearing if I find his commandments grievous. God has said, "Seek you first the kingdom of God and his righteousness;" therefore, I cease my search for success and fame, and now will all the things that God desires to send me become mine by the hand of multiplication. Success in Christ Jesus is not obtained as success is awarded to the worshippers of the gods of the world. I will stumble in the day if my faith is in self and human ability. I will not use human ability against principalities and powers of the regions of the darkness of this world, but I take unto myself the whole armor of God.

RE: RHEMA - The Currency of His Blood Is Not Devaluated by Unbelief

“God is love,” is the most powerful statement in the scripture. If that is the most powerful conduit of power into our lives, then the favor and position that we have received from him makes all principalities to bow before us as conquered. His name is far above all the principalities, power, and every name that is named in this world or the world to come. Love is eternal. The fullness of eternity and all that he desires for us makes mansions of heaven and gates of pearl mere faint ripples upon the waters that cover the depths of his love that he invites us to plunge into. Love is the many faceted crown of light and life that cannot be removed by all the distracters around us. They may ridicule and cast disparagement upon the relationship we have, but we will never turn loose of this unconditional love. In the time of difficulty and trouble, we will be held even closer. When trials come, he is not trying to push us away but draw us closer to him. Our praise to him shall continually be in our mouth. When troubles and problems come, he will stand with us in his loving embrace. We must refuse to be spectators at the celebration of his love and grace but be part of the dancing, rejoicing multitude proclaiming his greatness. We are the epistles of love that have been indelibly engraved upon hearts. We will continually declare the words of love and grace that have been on the manuscripts of eternity but now are on the pages of our lips. Our confession will be the pen of grace to those who are in the end of this race.

(Continued)

Do not be condemned because of your failures and the bad things that happen in your life. There is blood at my throne that will wash away every evil thing and every bad thing that you do. I knew that you would fail when I called you. I did not call perfect men.

18. If I only called perfect people, where would I find one to call?

Take the cloth of love, and dry your tears. My gifts and calling are without repentance. I have not revoked your gifts or your calling; therefore, rise up, and finish the work that I have called you to do, for I am the Finisher on the inside of you as the enabling force of power and righteousness. The influence of grace is enough for all the adversity that is resisting you. Refuse to give strength to condemnation by ignorance. I have forgiven you. Know this of a truth; many people will go to hell over things that I have forgiven.

19. If I have forgiven you, don’t you know that I forgive others when they ask?
