I am come that you might have life and that you might have it more abundantly.
I came in the flesh and gave my life for you. No one hired me to come.
I came because I am the good shepherd. I came because I care about you;
therefore, I came and laid down my life for the sheep. I have not changed
my course or my purpose. Death did not alter my purpose. Do not allow
events and days to modify your purpose. I have filled you with my Spirit.
The love of God is shed abroad in your heart by the Holy Ghost. You
perceive my love by its action. The salvation of the lost was love's
priority. What is love's priority today?
(RHEMA:
Love's Priority Is Not Altered by the Disturbing Events of the Age)
Jesus has come that I might have life and that I might have it more
abundantly. He came in the flesh and gave his life for me. No one hired
him to come. He came because he is the good shepherd. He came because
he cares about me; therefore, he came and laid down his life for the
sheep. The Lord has not changed his course or his purpose. Death did
not alter his purpose. I purpose not to allow events and days to modify
my purpose. God has filled me with his Spirit. The love of God is shed
abroad in my heart by the Holy Ghost. I perceive his love by its action.
The salvation of the lost was love's priority; therefore, the salvation
of the lost is love's priority today.

The
Testimony of Our Garment of Righteousness
The enemy has crouched to leap upon you. He has seen only you and disallowed
me; therefore, shall his leap be in vain, for I do ambush him. Offer
praise unto me, your King. I shall ambush your enemies and scatter them
in many directions. I am the blinding light of victory for you. I shine
exceeding great, and with awesome power, do I come against your enemies.
Lift up your voice in praise, and know that the battle is mine and therefore,
already won. I cannot be defeated. There is no strategy against me,
neither is there any counsel against me. I am the only Potentate, the
Lord of lords. There is nothing too hard for me. I bring you the freedom
enjoyed by Abraham and show that the children who are Christ's children
are indeed Abraham's seed. You have privileges now according to the
covenant made with Abraham and his seed, who is Christ.
Rise
up from your bondage to the influences of the law that you have willingly
taken upon yourself. Rise up, and walk in this grace that is in you
and all about you. You have been called and chosen. Now be faithful
unto death or rapture, and you will receive a crown of life. I am the
bright and the morning star, the root and the offspring of David. I
have not allowed an enemy to annul that which I did freely give you.
As the rainbow in the sky did testify of my faithfulness to my promise,
so has the garment of righteousness that I placed on you IN BAPTISM
testified of my faithfulness to my promise to you. I have given you
promises and declared you to be the seed of Abraham by the spirit of
adoption. I have given you the spirit of Christ, and now are you mine.
If any man has not the spirit of Christ, then he is not mine.
Be
not deceived. I am not mocked by the false religious leaders of the
day. They have twisted the word of God unto their own destruction. My
word has gone out of my mouth, and it will not return unto me void.
I have sent forth my word of truth, and as a light from a dark place,
has it entered into the world. It will not be turned around, but it
shall shine forevermore. My word will not pass away, but it will reign
forever and forever even after everything else passes away. Heaven and
earth shall pass away, but my word will remain and that word which is
creative shall create a new heaven and a new earth according to the
righteousness of my word. I am the light of this world. Men can shine
their dull concepts of righteousness into the world but unto no effect.
I am the only Lord God, the creator of heaven and earth. Let your light
so shine now, and glorify me, your Father, who is in heaven and in his
church. The church shall shine, and be an overcomer. Remain in the church,
for it is the institution of righteousness that shall remain even when
the gates of hell attempt to prevail against it. Lift up your voice
in praise now, for I have already overcome the world, and the prince
of the world is cast out. Come and follow me, and I will make you a
fisher of men.

RE:
RHEMA - The Testimony of Our Garment of Righteousness
Our testimony is not on our sleeves but written in our heats. Our mouth
is the clothing outlet for our daily fashion. Our world around us may
put on the garments of lust, but we daily put on the garments of righteousness
by our conversation and how we live. We will not live in the closets
of shame or the dressing rooms of the untried. We are fresh from the
other side of Jordan where we have torn up the garments of our own identity
and have taken the mantle of power and holiness. We have refused to
be unidentified with the club spirits of religion. We are regular pillars
in the temple of the Most High God. We will not walk after the flesh
but as we are lead by the Spirit, we will not desert the house of God.
We will be part of the structure that is wrapped with the netting that
is full of the testimony of truth and the forever settled Word of God.
As Abraham's seed, we will not wear the rags of our own righteousness
but put on the royal garments of kings. We will be clothed with the
shining garments of light as we walk in the light.
ENEMIES AND SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS
The enemy has crouched to leap upon me. He has seen only me and
disallowed God; therefore, his leap shall be in vain, for God will
ambush him. I offer praise unto Jesus, my King. He shall ambush
my enemies and scatter them in many directions. Jesus is the blinding
light of victory for me. He shines exceeding great and with awesome
power, does he come against my enemies. I lift up my voice in praise,
and I know that the battle is the Lord's and therefore, already
won. Jesus cannot be defeated. There is no strategy against him,
neither is there any counsel against him. Jesus is the only Potentate,
the Lord of lords. There is nothing too hard for him. He brings
me the freedom enjoyed by Abraham and shows that the children who
are Christ's children are indeed Abraham's seed. I have privileges
now according to the covenant made with Abraham and his seed, who
is Christ.
I
rise up from my bondage to the influences of the law that I have
willingly taken upon myself. I rise up and walk in this grace that
is in me and all about me. I have been called and chosen. Now I
will be faithful unto death or rapture, and I will receive a crown
of life. Jesus is the bright and the morning star, the root and
the offspring of David. He has not allowed an enemy to annul that
which he freely gave me. As the rainbow in the sky testified of
God's faithfulness to his promise, so has the garment of righteousness
that he placed on me IN BAPTISM, testifies of his faithfulness to
his promise to me. The Lord has given me promises and declared me
to be the seed of Abraham by the spirit of adoption. He has given
me the spirit of Christ, and now I am his. If any man has not the
spirit of Christ, then he is not his.
I
will not be deceived. Jesus is not mocked by the false religious
leaders of the day. They have twisted the word of God unto their
own destruction. His word has gone out of his mouth, and it will
not return unto him void. The Lord has sent forth his word of truth,
and as a light from a dark place, has it entered into the world.
It will not be turned around, but it shall shine forevermore. His
word will not pass away, but it will reign forever and forever even
after everything else passes away. Heaven and earth shall pass away,
but God's word will remain, and that word which is creative shall
create a new heaven and a new earth according to the righteousness
of his word. Jesus is the light of this world. Men can shine their
dull concepts of righteousness into the world but unto no effect.
Jesus is the only Lord God, the creator of heaven and earth. I will
let my light so shine now and glorify him, my Father, who is in
heaven and in his church. The church shall shine and be an overcomer.
I will remain in the church, for it is the institution of righteousness
that shall remain even when the gates of hell attempt to prevail
against it. I lift up my voice in praise now, for he has already
overcome the world and the prince of the world is cast out. I will
go and follow Jesus, and he will make me a fisher of men.

RE:
RHEMA: The Juice of God's Goodness Is Poured Into Our Cup When We
Encounter Bad Things
God has always displayed the ability to turn the empty cups of the
universe into plentiful platters of His power by flattening them with
the weight of His gracious response. Our cup has been filled with
the goodness that leaps over and beyond the efforts of men. His working
in us transcends the measure and judgment of the so called experts.
Every vessel that was formed to defeat us will be turned into a marvelous
evidence of victory against those who designed it. Their words will
become the fuel of the fire that boils the pot of their own calamity
that will necessitate their urgent call for the very miracle they
denounce. Those who try to use them will feel the force of the resistance
of our God. Our war is not with men but with the one who causes men
to be proud in their thoughts and devices. Every device and term will
utterly fail. Even if they would try to cut us off from the supply
of any need the Lord will cause waters of deliverance to flow from
where they have never flowed before. Every hurt that they intend will
be hurled aside as a thing of naught by our Defender. Our enemy is
God's enemy. He will speedily avenge His elect. Every foe against
us is only fashioning their own failure. As God has always defeated
soundly those who make fun and ridicule His people, the stone of His
deliverance is in the foreheads of the scoffers even now. Victory
has been declared before us without failure. Every foe will be crushed
under His feet. We rejoice in this victory place in our hand by the
ringing shouts of the words of grace before us.
(Continued)
Lift up your head in this time of war against you. Know that you are
not alone in this battle. A host of angels are fighting on behalf of
the church in this city. Do not run to the compound of bondage where
evil workers have been driven and blown awaiting the judgment for rebellion,
but submit yourself continually unto my divine headship and authority
and rest in the peace that is there. Lift up your head from the antagonizing
voice from beneath my feet.
476.
Why worry about voices that come from beneath my feet?
You say someone else should do this, but I say, "It is not you that
chooses the calling." There are many self appointed prophets and
many self called ministers of the day, but I call those who are mine.
I have called you to sound the alarm. You have looked at the clouds
of trouble and the rain of intimidation long enough.
477.
How long will you observe the weather of the devil before you realize
that all his weather is in his own domain?
Love presented the keys to your cell and brought you out of the cold,
dark waters of sin's awful sea. The scenario of your mind is not an
illusion, but it is a true description of your past conditions and hopelessness.
You were in a world without hope, but now are you the child of the King.
In a dark valley of dark waters that have drowned many, you were not
drowned by sin's clutching hands that have choked multitudes unto damnation.
478.
Count your blessings if you can. What will you mark down for the salvation
of your soul?
479.
What will you write as a numeral for the value of your soul?
480.
What will you give in exchange for the deliverance from the sea of destruction
and the shame of the nakedness of your life?
481.
What will you mark down as a payment for the deliverance from the hands
that held you with the surety of an alligator's grip?
482.
What will you write down in your memory as a memorial for the date and
time of your deliverance?
483.
What will you sell out for, and who will be your ticket out of the kingdom?
484.
Is a woman worth the torment of hell?
485.
Is a man worth the torment of hell?
486.
What will you give in exchange for your soul?
487.
What will you give in exchange for such a place as the heavenly places
in Christ?
488.
Is a position in hell an equal exchange?
489.
Why sell the truth when you bought it with priceless sacrifice?
