Traditions would have you believe that I am too busy to take care of your problem because I am busy taking care of others. Traditions would have you believe that I must stop by your place to see about you. Know this, I live with you and in you. I do not have to stop by. I have never left, and I have heard your cry. I am not too busy taking care of other people's problems to take care of yours. I do everything at one time. I have all power. I do not have to leave one thing to go to another. I am omnipresent and omnipotent. There is nothing too hard for me. Let not Impossibility discourage you by comparing your resources to its magnitude. The magnitude of trouble does not frighten me, neither does it surprise me. Do not be surprised by the things that come up against your mind. Simply look to my mind and my strength. Compare the magnitude of Impossibility's range to my power. There is no comparison.

Traditions would have me believe that God is too busy to take care of my problem because he is busy taking care of other people's problems. Traditions would have me believe that the Lord must stop by my place to see about me. I know that he lives with me and in me. He does not have to stop by. He has never left, and he has heard my cry. He is not too busy taking care of other people's problems to take care of mine. He does everything at one time. He has all power. He does not have to leave one thing to go to another. He is omnipresent and omnipotent. There is nothing too hard for him. I will not allow Impossibility to discourage me by comparing my resources to its magnitude. The magnitude of trouble does not frighten God, neither does it surprise him. I will not be surprised by the things that come up against my mind. I will simply look to the Lord's mind and his strength. I will compare the magnitude of Impossibility's range to his power. There is no comparison.

The Children of Promise Are Giant Killers

Why do you fear the giant that has come to knock on your door?

Don't you know that the Lord of Glory answers the knock on your door?

You have sat down to sup with me; therefore, I arise to speak with your tormentor who knocks at your door. I am not a visitor here in this house, but I abide here. I have made your temple my place of residence, and I am pleased to dwell here. Make no boast of your sins, neither give praise to them, but confess them all, and forsake them then shall I pluck you out of your afflictions. Make no hedge about your transgressions, and hide not your sins, but confess them, every one unto me, and I will forgive all your debts as you forgive your debtors.

I will deliver you from the giant who was born of procrastination. The child of procrastination has grown up and has returned for meat. It is no longer satisfied with the milk of your life, that is, seeing you in torment of mind, but it (the giant) now wants your life. It has been mere milk to see you tormented in mind and of spirit, but now it will not be satisfied until it has choked you even unto death. The knock of the big fist on the door that seems to shake the foundation of your faith is loud and creates a storm in your mind, but know this of a truth, that I am not disturbed by the tormentor's knock. I am your Father, and I do show you what I will do. Look not to the voice of the tormentor, neither to the images that are produced in your mind by his words. Look to the voice of your Father who speaks in you, and there you will hear the words of the Savior and see images of victory. Let us now answer the knock on your door.

The images of your mind have given you an illusion of a giant structure standing at your door with big feet and big fists. You can walk between his legs, and yet he stands as a mountain above you. You are a grasshopper, and he is a mountain of a spirit. Will you respond according to the image of your mind, or will you respond according to the image of the mind of Christ?

I will give you another image. I see the image of a giant lying flat on the ground. He is stunned by the blow of my strength. He is motionless before you, my child and apple of my eye. The giant is weak and helpless because of the might of my right hand that was vented against his head. Now I do place the sword of my words into the head of your persecutor. I will cherish it as a giant slain by my child of promise. It shall be a trophy unto me. I want you to slay the giants, not simply rejoice at seeing others slay them.

Believe on me, for I have already overcome the giants of the land. There is no mountain that you cannot conquer. There is no wall that can be built to keep the Church out of the cities of death. I do send you into the cities of death to rescue those who are dead in trespasses and sins. Marvel not that you do not see more people in your local congregation, for no one can come unless the Spirit of the Lord draws them. Many are called, and few are chosen. I add and multiply to the Church such as should be saved. Be not weary in well doing. You are going to reap, and you will not faint because I have given you more grace that you might endure this time of discouragement. I have given you more grace that you might see that the same mercy that I bestowed upon you while you were yet a sinner now super-abounds toward you unto deliverance from all your snares.

Be not filled with dismay and doubt, neither look at the problem as one that shall defeat you and bring you down to shame. While you were yet a sinner, I could have allowed the consequences of your sins to bring you down to the shameful state of death's exposure and nakedness. I, in mercy, came to you and delivered you even while you stood before the counsel of evil spirits that held you in bondage. They had gathered together not only to charge you but also to sentence you to death. I came to the meeting of the counsel of wickedness and came to your defense. I spoke on your behalf and commanded your freedom. Shall I now be silent in the presence of your accusers?

Much more, I not only speak on your behalf, but I perform on your behalf. Behold the miracle power of the Lord's deliverance! Even while you wait, I speak and perform.

RE: RHEMA - The Children of Promise Are Giant Killers

It only takes one stone to slay Goliath. As we focus on Jesus Christ and lift him up, the force of our worship will hurl the Stone rejected by the builders into the head of the giants of intimidation and religion of this hour. Our anointing is as David's. We have been anointed to prophesy in the battle and in worship. Our focus must never be on numbering anything as David found out. When we let God multiply the numbers of loaves or soldiers, we will see a victory that millions could not accomplish. Giants of lust and hatred rise up in the prison and in the houses of the bound on the outside. The Gentle shepherd still delivers them all. He is still the Lord God, mighty in battle. We will lift up our heads as we see the King of Glory sweep through the gates of our praise as he leads captivity captive and gives gifts to us. Our battle is with our own shortcomings and failures. God has already forgiven these and surrounded them with an army of grace. God has not sent us into the valley of giants to be ashamed. Our hope and confidence is in him who holds every adversarial force in the universe at bay and gives us a paradise to live in the harsh universe that is barren of much of what we need. God has provided all that we need in the outpost called the earth. One day, we will rule the entire universe from the throne of the place that we thought was filled with giants, but the grasshoppers will win.

INSPIRATION

By Don Grigsby

 

RE: By the Spirit of Prophecy, Speak of the Glory of God's Kingdom and His Power

Prophecy lifts its voice above the clamor of confusion no matter how complex it becomes. New Testament energized prophecy comes to testify for us and not against us. Wrath and judgment have been buried by the faithful witness who prosecuted our sin in himself and paid the debt in full. Paradoxes of power proceed from the pulpit of the prophet. Dying is living. Giving is receiving. What sin has turned upside down, the Spirit has turned right side up. A new generation that has not been brain washed by the teachings of man will receive a kingdom and harvest unheard of before. Power that penetrates to the core of hell shall cascade from their mouth. If loaves and fishes could talk, they would shout the greatness of God. We have a mouth and that is all we need to engage the creative energy of God that needs no other earthly ability. Let us cease to take inventory of our empty boxes, and God will fill them with all the things that we think do not exist. God will not be held hostage by any man. As we fall before him in thanksgiving and praise, we can be broken and fashioned into the vessel that holds the treasure that seemed but grains of sand a few minutes before. Spiritual minds flow from the heavens down into this life. They will never flow from here to the throne. Our ideas will never adjust to our measure of the greatness of God. How large a portion will he give to his children who will not measure him?

He will speak volumes to those who will not define him. Many will be affected by the division caused by the sword of Rhema. Their mind set has so limited God that they feel they will only follow after what they feel safe with. His prophecy will push us out of our comfort zones. As God allowed false teachers to arise in apostolic times, false teachers will to try to dismantle the work that God is putting together today. Their resistance will fail and be made obvious before all who listen to them. Their words ring so hollow that they will be as the wind of the desert. What men has put down, God has lifted up. All the things that others would trample under foot will be set on a throne. God will loose his armory against the false bands of those who would try to prey upon the faith of his children. Faith will triumph in those who hear his words. Men's words will become toxic destruction to those who help put out their propaganda. All the traps and snares that have been set to defame the truth will lie broken in the valley of their shame.

 

 

(Continued)

Go and say, "Lift up holy hands without wrath and without doubting." Declare that I am the omnipresent savior whose love already proved it. I am love, and I have displayed the essence of my love by the demonstration of my love. I showed forth my love on the tree and declared to the entire world that you are precious in my sight.

316. Must I display another act to prove my love?

 

Lift up your eyes unto my divinity, and see the magnitude of grace that is yours by the free gift of righteousness. I have redeemed you by precious blood and set you on a hill where you cannot be hid. Lift up the bushel of doubt, and run to the wide open spaces of evangelism. The spirit of evangelism is in you. I have come to evangelize the world. Come out of your cocoon of comfort, and inflict your dignity. When you have buffeted yourselves and declared yourselves dead to self, to the devil, and to the world, then shall the wick of evangelism shine bright in you. I am the light of the world. I have lit the wick of life within you, but your flesh does not want to die to the things of this world.

317. Don't you know that a candle is not used without its wax being spent?

 

I am the Father of creation, the Lord, your God. Give glory unto the name that is above every name. It is a glorious name, for it is higher than all names. I am the one true God, the Eternal Spirit. Jesus is my name. There is no name above this name, for it is a hallowed name. It has been set apart in the heavens and in the earth. Be not drawn away from the truth concerning this hallowed name of your father. I am the Father of lights and the Father of spirits. There is no other Creator. I did not counsel with anyone.

318. Who has been my counselor?

 

+ The law came by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. The instruments of the law played the tunes of death and great sorrow, but these instruments that are fashioned after the likeness of Jesus Christ play the tunes of life and peace. Return from the strange lands in your hearts, and come and walk with me along the rivers of living water. Take your harps from the willows that weep, and play the sounds of praise for the souls whose heads hang down.

319. Where will the sinners hear the sounds of joy if the redeemed sing not the sounds of joy?

 

+ The sinners never had a song that I could love, for their hearts were spoiled with sin.

320. Shall spoiled hearts sing the songs of joy when their lives have been plundered by the spirits from the grave?
