Minister Unto the Needy Instead of Engaging In a War with Distraction

No matter how secure the devil’s trap seems, it cannot hold me or you. We are one. I am your owner, and I have pledged my support of you. Even when you have sinned, forgiveness makes a way for you to remain righteous and in right standing with me. Shall evil overcome the righteous?

Will I be on the same side of hate and conspiracy against my own body?

Do not imagine or rehearse defeat to yourself because of the bombarding thoughts that come against your mind. Rehearse the victory promised, and go on beyond this wave of distracting things from the prince of the power of the air. I have forgiven you. Shall the things that I have forgiven be your demise?

Or shall faith prevail against the accusations of the devil?

Settle this in your spirit and in your mind. I am for you. Who can be against you?

I have come to end this distraction that has hindered your work for me. It is not my desire for you to constantly engage in a war with distraction. Souls are at stake while you allow yourself to be absorbed in the waters of distraction. I have reached forth my hand to save you from this flood. Now do not dive into these waters again. The leviathan of distraction has been chained up. The cruel messengers sent against the vessels of distraction have given these vessels something new to worry about. Go on and win the lost. Minister unto the downcast, the sick, the broken-hearted, the needy, and the destitute. Those who do not have need of a physician are decoys; therefore, do not even address them by preaching at them. Leave them to me. I will judge them. Come down from the judgment seat and stand in the minister’s position. I have called you to minister not to judge. Vengeance is mine. I will repay. Do not concern yourself with what the judgment of your enemies will be. Pray for your enemies, and cease being distracted and consumed with thoughts about them.

Love has been renewed in you. Peace is confirmed in you. Joy is established in you. Victory is fixed. Do not lose the focus of fixed victory. This victory will not be removed. It is guaranteed. The enemy has flashed illusions of defeat against the walls of reality. You have passed the reality test by my word. Now speak to these illusions, and rid your mind of these false things. I am with you to the end of the world. Shall the enemy stand on a platform of lies and defeat you while you stand on the platform of truth?

It is a sad day when my word in you is reduced to such doubtful expressions that cause my people to believe the threats of the enemy and disbelieve my love for them. Turn your eyes and your mind from his fireworks in the darkness. They are merely fireworks wasting in the air under your feet. I have placed you in heavenly places. Now rest in the victory which soars high above the fireworks of destruction and shame. I have given you assurance today. Only believe.

DISTRACTION, EVIL MEN, HATE, HYPOCRISY, IMPURITY, FEAR, AND REBELLION

No matter how secure the devil’s trap seems, it cannot hold God or me. We are one. The Lord is my owner, and he has pledged his support of me. Even when I have sinned, forgiveness makes a way for me to remain righteous and in right standing with God. Evil will not overcome the righteous. God will not be on the same side of hate and conspiracy against his own body. I will not imagine or rehearse defeat to myself because of the bombarding thoughts that come against my mind. I rehearse the victory promised, and I go on beyond this wave of distracting things from the prince of the power of the air.

Jesus has forgiven me. The things that he has forgiven shall not be my demise. Faith will prevail against the accusations of the devil. I settle this in my spirit and in my mind. God is for me. No one can be against me. He has come to end this distraction that has hindered my work for him. It is not his desire for me to constantly engage in a war with distraction.

RE: RHEMA - Minister Unto the Needy Instead of Engaging In a War With Distraction

God will never hold us hostage or disown us because of any situation. Our mistakes and failures are the doors that dressing rooms of mercy. Mercy will take the ravaged soul in rags of guilt and clothe it in the robes of glory. God is for us and not against us. His love for us transcends the system of emotional schemes here on earth. Mercy does not barter and reason with merit or blame. I t will stand and claim us as its own in the face of every accusation. Mobs of screaming abusive charges may be hurled like stones at our integrity. The same one who said that he did not condemn us will stand before the crowds of attackers and defend us completely. We will not allow the enemy to distract us by his mockery and hatred. Our determination is to focus on victory and not defeat. Every tongue and enemy will be consumed by the fires of love, which is stronger than death. God's passionate and flaming love will reduce the subterfuge of the enemy to ashes. We will look for those who are incensed against us and they will not be there. Our words were not fashioned to fight the battles that are the Lord's. God has sworn that he will exact vengeance on those who oppose the righteous cause of his children. Our energy is to be fused with the burning sword of tomorrow. We will not allow the schemes of the enemy to cause us to put up a tent on the grave of the enemy that God has slain and told us they were finished. We will cast the vision of tomorrow of the salvation of the lost as the road to travel. Victory is the palace of power that has been given to us in this dimension. We will not live in the cardboard box houses of those who want to exact retribution form others.

Come and follow the light through the corridors of the world. Its language commands respect, and its effect warrants liberty. Come and follow the light of praise. It is the outward expression of inner joy. Wear the testimony of praise to the throne of grace, and my name shall touch the lips that offer glory. You are loosed, not bound. You are freed, not captured. You are healed, not sick. You are redeemed. Go and say that you are.

(RHEMA: Sound the Horns of Praise and Declare Victorious Joy, Which Is Free from Sorrow and Sighing)

I choose to come and follow the light through the corridors of the world. Its language commands respect, and its effect warrants liberty. I will come and follow the light of praise. It is the outward expression of inner joy. I must wear the testimony of praise to the throne of grace, and his name shall touch the lips that offer glory. I am loosed, not bound. I am freed, not captured. I am healed, not sick. I am redeemed. Now I say that I am.

RE: RHEMA - Angels Encamped Round About the People of God Eating

Angel's Food Angels are the force that we do not understand as much as we should in the battle of the Spirit. We have come to the heavenly Jerusalem and an innumerable host of angels. If a third of them that were numbered then fell with Satan when he was cast out of heaven, then the one who counts the number of the stars and calls them by name tells us that, “The number of the heavenly host is impossible to count.” How great a comfort! We are told that our angels continually behold the face of our Father, which is in heaven. This promise establishes the fact that the enemy is always out numbered in our lives. When we view the scenes of power in the book of Ezekiel and Revelation, we are overwhelmed by the unlimited power that the cherubims and other hosts exert over the universe that is much more immense than the entire earth. It is irrelevant who comes against us if God and all his host be for us. One angel will lock up the devil in the end of time, and we have more than one! All kinds of circumstances may come to intimidate us, but we have ministering spirits that will come to us to minister strength and messages of encouragement from the very throne of God. Immense in size and grandeur, they let us know that our greatest battles are the small dust of their feet to put down the uprising of evil against us. We can eat the same food as angels that God gives to us as the daily bread and manna that is fresh for every day. Honey and oil that make up the sweetness and anointing of God's word should be dripping off our chin. Angels handle the fire that proceeds from the throne of God. They become the very instruments of that power and become like lasers in their attack upon every foe that comes against us. Light and the power of its revelation will consume every devise that the enemy creates against us in the cloud of incense that is in the hands of cherubims at the ark of testimony on our behalf.

(Continued)

If you are my children, cease fighting one another, and start loving one another.

50. Did you see me do what you are doing?

You are of your father, the devil, if you are fighting one another instead of loving one anther. I am love.

51. Have I sent you to murder others?

52. Shall evil overcome the righteous?

53. Will I be on the same side of hate and conspiracy against my own body?
