Lift up your eyes unto the True Light, which lighteth every man that
cometh into the world. I am the light of the world, and none can "put
out" this light that I am. I am the Everlasting Light of Eternity, the
Light of Adam, and the Light of Abraham. Without me, there is no light
for that which you call wisdom. Without my wisdom, your reasoning is
a mere bulb without electricity. I am the light of all true wisdom.
Without my joy, you merely have gladness. Without my faith, you merely
have human faith. Without my peace, you merely have the peace that the
world gives. That peace can never pass your understanding, but the peace
that I am passes all the understanding in the universe. Lift up your
eyes unto the Eternal Light again, and allow me to shine this true light
within you.
(RHEMA:
The Light of the Glorious Gospel Is Shining Into the Seeing Soul)
I lift up my eyes unto the True Light, which lighteth every man that
cometh into the world. He is the light of the world, and none can "put
out" this light that he is. He is the Everlasting Light of Eternity,
the Light of Adam, and the Light of Abraham. Without him, there is no
light for that which I call wisdom. Without God's wisdom, my reasoning
is a mere bulb without electricity. He is the light of all true wisdom.
Without his joy, I merely have gladness. Without his faith, I merely
have human faith. Without his peace, I merely have the peace that the
world gives. That peace can never pass my understanding, but the peace
that he is passes all the understanding in the universe. I lift up my
eyes unto the Eternal Light again, and I allow Jesus to shine this true
light within me.

The
Compass of Faith In a Spiritual Storm
I have not left you. I promised that I would never leave you, nor forsake
you. Do not allow the circumstances of the hour to create within you
a feeling of being forsaken. Circumstances are creative forces that
can create feelings within you if you allow them to enter into your
mind in a negative way. Go back to the compass of faith, and find your
bearings for these problems. Look again at the compass of faith, and
see that you are not lost, neither is hope gone. You are on course,
but the winds of circumstances have affected your vision. Everything
seems to be leaning the wrong way. That is because of the winds of circumstances.
All these things that seem to be "out of place" shall return
to their normal positions. Remain focused in this time of frustrating
changes and movements by the spirits of the air. They have stirred up
forces against you to attempt to throw you off course. Go and look at
the compass of faith, for there you will find that north is still north
and south is still south.
Do
not be intimidated by the circumstances all about you. I am also in
the wind of these things. I will allow these things to shake everything
that can be shaken. Do not be disturbed, for I am keeping you. You will
not be blown down, or out of my sight. Hold on to these strong hands
of faithfulness and be content. You have godliness, but your contentment
has wavered. I desire to build strong stakes of contentment in your
foundation of faith. Give me your confidence today, and I will give
you ripe recompense of reward.
The
light of the day time has not vanished because of the storms of this
life. There is no storm that can chase away this light. I will not depart
from my people, but I will depart with my people. I shall snatch away
my people that are called by my name from this earth, and they shall
be with me forevermore.
Lift
up your head, and be as a gate. Resist the temptation to grieve and
mourn, but choose to rejoice in the face of this storm. The storm shall
not pass over without casting some of its debris your way, but remember,
I have a crew to take care of all these things also. Simply cast all
your cares upon me, knowing that I care for you.
Lift
up your voice on high, and do not be cast down by the weight of uncertainty.
The uncertainties are a result of the darkness left by the hand of circumstances.
Remove their hands from your face, and behold the light of the sun within
you. You are subjected to these things, but you have already overcome
all these things by your faith.
Come
forth, and be blessed in the midst of all these intimidating circumstances.
They shall watch you eat at the table of goodness, and drink the wine
of success while you refuse the bread and the wine of defeat. Come and
behold the wonder of what I will do with these circumstances.

RE:
RHEMA - The Compass of Faith In a Spiritual Storm
As often as we hear it said that he will never leave us or forsake us,
we treat his words as those of a man. God is not a man that he should
lie. If he said it, he will perform it. He is the gravity, ballast,
and compass of our ship. When it seems we have lost our direction, he
speaks to us as dear children, and we can see the path through the waves
and wind. He will take us through the floods, and they will not overflow
us. Our joy is not circumstantial. The joy of the Lord is everlasting,
and it will cause sadness and disappointment to flee. If we feel the
full frontal assault of the storms of life, we can be sure that he will
direct us and give us clear direction as he did for Paul. Frustration
will cause many to fling their confidence into the wind after a few
days. We are set to hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering.
He that wavereth is like the waves of the sea that are tossed and driven.
He will bring us into our desired haven. He will make the storm to calm,
the waves to be still. Our faith in him is a beacon of light that is
a door to the harbor of victory. We need to let the light shine and
the bell of victory ring, for we have found peaceful waters in him.

RE:
RHEMA - The Destruction Seen In the Fire of Trial Is Not Greater Than
the Mercy, Peace, and Our God
Melting pots do not contain the demise of our faith but the development
of our relationship. Forged and bonded at the high temperature life
processes, it would be next to impossible to tear it apart. Our faith
was destined to be tried by fire. In the book of Ezekiel, the mortar
that was not tempered was washed away in the wind and rain of a sudden
storm and fury. As he was with the Hebrew children in the furnace,
his feet are still like brass as if it burned in a furnace at this
very moment. Our furnace of intense heat and pressure is the entrance
into the work of the extreme intricacy of the highly perfected arts
of the Spirit. Many instruments cannot be used for highly technical
effort unless they are highly tempered. His work in our trial is for
our vessel to hold the process of heaven's most highly desired work.
Mercy's hands and wheel will forge in us the greater victory.
As
we come into an understanding of the blessing in the form of the fire
of formation, we will sing and rejoice in the light of the intense
burning that will remove every impurity. In the process, we will sow
the fruits of a harvest that cannot be held in the baskets of this
world's measure. In a time of pressure, we feel like we have been
separated from God, but the space that is empty in our lives has just
been eliminated. His faithfulness will hold us closer as we prevail.
Many
today have their vision blurred and cannot see spiritually at all.
They look at the events in our lives and laugh with glee saying, "Aha,
Aha. See what has befallen him." They will be the ones who will
wander in the desolate wastes when we have been given a highway out
of the waste places into the blessings of God. As the fire of perfection
fashions a face of inspiration upon our visage, theirs will be marked
with shame and disgrace.
(Continued)
You are confident that when you pray and call out to me that I am going
to answer you by speaking unto you. Be that confident that I am going
to provide what you need. Stop looking upon your own ability and resources
for the answer, and look to me, the source and the supply of all things.
I do not grow impotent in provision or supply. I am the abundant supplier.
You will rejoice when you see the glory of what I am doing. I am doing
a work that you would never have imagined. There are sinners who would
respond to your need, but I have not sent my child as a beggar into
this world. You are not forsaken. I have not taken the answer and hidden
it from you, but I have brought you to the threshold of trust. Walk
along this threshold of trust and confidence in me and not in yourself.
59.
If you trust in yourself now, how will you trust in yourself to go over
the swelling of Jordon of yourself?
60.
If you trust in self now, will self carry you to heaven?
61.
If you trust in self now, will self carry you through the wall of impossibility?
62.
If you trust in self now, will self carry you up out of the hands of
terminal illness?
63.
If you trust in me now, will I be the same at the swelling of Jordon?
64.
If you trust in me now, will I be the same when you are in the hands
of terminal illness?
65.
If you trust in me now, will I be the same when you come to your walls
of impossibility?
66.
If you trust in me now, will I be the same when it is rapture time?
