I am not without divine roots. My roots are grounded in the soil of Abraham's faith. I will not look for other roots. Abraham is the father of faith, and he looked for his destination zealously until his death. I will allow only death to prevent me from my works of faith in this life. I rise up, and express my faith in God's promises, and I will see the end of all things. God has warned me of other enemies to my faith. Suspicion and presumptuousness are blinders that spoil my vision of the future. These enemies will lead me to a wilderness of self-planted trees. Many have planted trees in their own way by their imaginations that have become a forest to clear away, which should have never existed. I will not place people in my forest that do not belong there. I will not place fears in my forest that do not even exist. I will not place these imaginary things into my real life and bring my vision to a halt. I will weep over these that bring out imaginations from my mental strongholds. There are certain people who are gifted in igniting imaginations that should have been cast down. If I leave imaginations in my mind, they are sure to be used as seeds for the planting of trees in my mental unwanted forest.

I will watch my fellowship, or I will inherit the unwanted attitudes of those who take pleasure in imaginations and not in faith. The weapons of my warfare are not carnal, but they are mighty through the Lord to the pulling down of strongholds, the casting down of imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself above his knowledge. I will pray for these people, but avoid the wine of their words and their spirit. If I continue to fellowship with these presumptuous believers, I will run from the job ahead because I will imagine it to be too difficult because of the imagined things that do not exist.

Gossip is a telescope that brings the future of my friends and enemies up close. Their destiny is sealed in the words that come from their mouths. Gossip is the microscope that reveals the hidden things in the hearts of those who I would not know unless the words from their mouths were spoken in the times of gossip. The gossiper reveals his own sickness by his conversation. The very conversation of the gossiper reveals his own guilt and condemnation. I will go from his presence for he will entangle me in the maliciousness of his spirit. I will pour water on his fire by avoiding this vehicle of unbelief. I will come to the throne of grace, and God will grant me peace in the presence of the consequences that have come to my door.

Now that my ears have heard these words and my eyes are opened unto the conspiracy of condemnation, presumptuousness, worry, and gossip, these spirits will charge me and attempt to frighten me. I will rest in him, and I will be fully persuaded that he has already defended me. When these enemies come in like a flood, he will lift up a standard against them. They will not capture me and lead me to the chambers of their condemning judgments, but he shall silence their voices and cause them to vanish away and carry their wrath with them. I will pray. He will hear my prayers. I will not doubt my relationship with him. He has granted me this relationship because of his love. He is teaching me to pray effectually. This day I will learn of the power of my prayers unto him. I will believe him. He hears me. Without confidence in my prayers unto him, I cannot help others in the future.

 

 

#228

The Lord has told me that an enemy desires to spoil my confidence in praying. My faith is not in vain. I must believe that I am in the faith and that the faith of Jesus Christ is true in all things. If I believe the lies of the enemy, I will deny this powerful faith. My failures cannot become a part of the foundation of my faith. Failures are the common events encountered by true faith, but failures do not affect the power of my faith in God. I will wash off the debris of failure. I will scrub away the stains that I have attached to my concepts of righteousness.

My faith is not in my own righteousness and my own success, but my faith is in his righteousness and his success in the man Christ Jesus. I believe that I am ordained to go forth into the world to win the lost. I will stop listening to the voice of failure, which has been resurrected by the power of fear and doubt. The voice of failure is calling forth dead things from my past to build impossibilities in the future. I will not allow this voice to speak its words of resurrection through me, but I will spew these things back to the pits from whence they came.

All the failures of the past were for my learning, not for my concepts of imagined patterns of defeat. God knew I would fail before I failed. He knows that I will succeed before I will succeed. I will trust him, and believe that all things are working together for my good because I love him and am called according to his purpose. I have brought standards of perfection and measured myself by these standards. I will measure the standards of perfection by Jesus' works, and I will have faith in his works. Not one is good but God. Even when I do good, then evil is present. There is no human goodness that can survive in the presence of the trials of the age. Only his goodness can survive in the wilderness of complexity. Only his righteousness can stand in the presence of the awesomeness of impossibilities.

 

 

#229

The vision of the church is not a fantasy. This is reality. I will live out the gospel plan, and allow God to live his life out through me then I will behold the success of Christ Jesus flowing past the resurrection of all failure. He has come today to bury failure again. This time, I will not resurrect it with my own voice of criticism of myself. Spirits will attempt to persuade me to believe that miracles have ceased and that there is no miracle for me in this time of great failure. The Lord has allowed me to fail again and again that he might bring me to these waters of difficulty and show me his power. I will not listen to voices that proclaim practicality in the face of these impossibilities. Things that are practical have patterns that can be imitated, but God's miracles cannot be imitated by the human abilities of men and women. He is the miracle worker.

I believe that he does not have to imitate, but he has a fresh miracle for me in the face of impossibility. I have not failed him. He knew I would fail. Now I accept the forgiveness and the forbearance that he has given me. His love is enough to cross over this bridge of the remembrance of failure in the past. I will not ignore opportunity because of the fear of failure again. This is my God-given opportunity to conquer this leviathan of mymind. I will act on ever abiding faith before opportunity leaves my door.

Opportunity is waiting. I will not replay the entire failures of my past and allow the glorious opportunity at my door to vanish into the bosom of others awaiting the blessings from the hands of opportunity. Opportunity has knocked again. It did not die in the chambers of past failures, but it lives and has come back to my door to become my child. I will open the door and adopt the brilliant child of future greatness. I will not fearfully wait until I know that opportunity has walked away in search of a willing parent of faith to receive this child of hope and this child of abundant life.

 

 

#230

I am running from failure. I will not allow failure to chase me away from success that is residing in the bosom of opportunity at my door. If I flee from the golden manifestation hidden by the shadow of failure, I will not be able to explain this to my children and those observing my life. The sunlight of blessings shines past my past failures. I know that the shadows of failure are not in the present, nor the future. They are mere images from a forgotten past that can only perform the task of manifesting lies about my success. I will take the leap of faith, and I shall be transported into the future ahead of me then by faith I will behold opportunity, which is success clothed and dressed for my pleasure.

The sunshine of blessings has already risen above the head of failure, and now it shines into my heart that I might perceive the reality of opportunity not veiled by the shadows of past failures. I will not run from my door of faith, but I will run to the door of faith and open it. Opportunity is removing its topcoat as I prepare to welcome success, which is clothed in the garment of opportunity. I will allow faith to leap from my heart and exit through my mouth. By God's grace, I am succeeding now; therefore, I will rejoice as I welcome ordained success.

 

 

#231

I continually have found mercy in God's sight. I am not cut off from his presence because of his grace and mercy towards me. My works are not a guarantee of fellowship with him. The value of the mercy and grace that I have is incalculable. I will look to God again, and behold the awesome grace at his throne. He has stretched forth a scepter of righteousness and invited me into his presence again. I will be thankful, and acknowledge my helplessness to continue in the path of righteousness of myself. I can of myself do nothing. All of my righteousness is as filthy rags. I will give God my filthy rags today, and he will exchange them for the justification I have left behind.

I will not continue in the narrow way without justification by faith, which is in him. The faith of Jesus Christ must be activated in my life if I am to soar into the heavenly places all about me. I have walked as a pauper among men. It is time to walk as a prince who has power with him, the Almighty God. There is no God beside him. He is the Everlasting Father and the Prince of peace. Today, He has stretched forth his goodness and led me to repentance. He has granted me repentance unto life. Now I will allow the life, which is in me, to flow to those who are without. He has words to speak unto the world in this hour that must flow from his body, the body of Christ. I will lift up my voice in thanksgiving, and he will show forth the glory of the word of the Lord.

The word of the Lord has come to me, a Gentile. He has sent forth his word and placed it in my tongue. The word of the Lord God is in me. Now I will be confident of its expression of faithfulness and power. He holds all things together by the word of his power. Now I will expect to experience how He has held together his body and assured unity by his Spirit. The sword of the enemy shall not cut away those who are his. I will turn my eyes unto him, and place my hands to the plow of vision. I will disassociate myself from the instruments of darkness, and receive the yoke that He is giving me. His yoke is easy, and his burden is light. I will enter into a new walk and a new way for me, the yoke, which is easy and the burden that is light.

 

 

#232

Jesus has taken all of my sins upon his body, the Lamb of God. Judgment has no place to aim its accurate weapons, for judgment cannot fire at righteousness. Righteousness has already ascended into eternity and received its reward by the providence of God. He has already carried me far ahead in time by faith, and now I can call those things that be not as though they were.

The accuser of the brethren has sent his report to God's throne. He has continually accused me before God day and night, yet justification does not allow the broadcast of my judgment on the airways of righteousness and holiness. He took my judgment, and now I can always look to his sacrifice and find that all of my sins were taken care of. The innocence of his holy sacrifice cannot be found guilty; therefore, my faith in him has nullified all the accusations of the accuser. I will not run as a frightened animal.

I will not run as a condemned man. I will not accept this life of poverty and defeat. My sins are not against me any longer. Grace has come and lifted me above all these things. In my heart, I am forever running from sins. I will reckon myself dead to sin and alive unto righteousness and godliness. I will not frustrate myself with the affairs of this life, neither will I entangle myself with these things. I will suffer the same things as those that are in the world, but I will rejoice in my salvation, for salvation has granted me abilities and solutions not available to those in the world. Love looks upon me with eyes of concern and helpfulness. I will keep trying to succeed, and I will not turn from the possibilities before me. God is watching and waiting to help when my strength grows weak and my ability is seen as complete insufficiency. All things are possible through him; therefore, I realize that I am bonded to sufficiency. Now are the powers of God's sufficiency flowing through me to perform the effectual working of divinity.

 

 

#233

The traps of the enemy are not secure enough to become a prison for me. Jesus has already solved these problems of future entrapments. I will rest and go on to minister. The inconveniences of this present hour are not the final actions that determine my success. These inconveniences are mere obstacles that will be used to build my faith. I will not worry about the obstacles. Angels have been assigned to move them. Those that are not moved by angels shall be the building blocks for greater faith. The obstacles of the past have hindered my determination to do the will of God. Many more obstacles are already erected in the future to hinder my progress. I will leave these things to God, for he will remove or use all of these things for me.

God is granting me a better understanding of the providence of God. Now I will behold the things of the future through new eyes of understanding. I am in the will of God; therefore, I will rest in it, and I will not attempt to figure out providence. The providence of God is not figured out like natural problems are figured out. I must accept all things in light of the providence that is working in my life. If I continue to use human reasoning to determine the reasons for all the things that are coming into my life, then I will be detoured by doubt and fear.

Human reasoning is the birthplace for roadblocks and unwanted conflicts with the enemy. I will not continue to give birth to these roadblocks and wars that are unnecessary and undiscovered on the highway of holiness where I may worship lifting holy hands without wrath and without doubting. I will continue my journey with confidence. God is the head of all principality and power. The roadblocks ahead have no authority or jurisdiction in my case, for he was tried and convicted for me. I will not fear the officers of condemnation at the roadblock ahead. An action caused by headship and authority shall come forth from the officer of evil, for God shall place thoughts in his head to remove his roadblock to yonder place and allow me to pass.

 

 

#234

I will relax and rest in the will of God. I have entered into God's rest. Now I will cease from my struggles to work out this complex moving operation of unsecured blocks in my path. I have help from on high. Now I will take the bold steps necessary to go on in faith and in righteousness. Doubt has moved in close to converse with me. I will listen not to the voice of doubt in this time of uncertainty created by the obstacles ahead. Doubt expresses its promises to me in an attempt to discourage me and bring my dreams to naught. Doubt will attempt to persuade me to forsake faith as it promises me the surety of reality. Faith is contrary to reality as the world knows it. Doubt will arrange an alternate transportation vehicle to the places of assumed reality. These alternate suggestions by doubt are really transporting me out my journey with what appears to be the unreliable vehicle of this present time. God has told me that the vehicle of faith is not unreliable. The vehicle of faith does not journey in circular paths that bring me back to the same heart breaking places, but the vehicle of faith is destined to the places of joy and the pleasures on my right hand, which are forevermore.

 

 

#235

I have not always prayed before I worried, nor have I always prayed before I sought an answer outside of myself. I have not always prayed before I considered all hope gone and the answer far removed from my mind.

The beggars of bread are much more confident of survival than many of God's people. The beggars and the paupers of this age have faith to survive in the byways and the subways of life, yet the sellers of discouragement and poverty confound many of his people. I have never seen the righteous forsaken, neither his seed begging bread. I will leap from this train of unconfirmed promises, and return to my first love and true faith. Condemnation has used doubt as an instrument to persuade me to abandon faith. I will continue my journey with faith and love, for the Lord says, "I will arrive on time." I will not doubt, neither will I have an affair with doubt. I am secured in the love of God.

The carnal mind will perceive the vehicle of faith as an ancient vehicle that is out of date in this current age. The carnal mind will consider the path of faith as a bad choice and the wrong road to travel. The path of faith is a good road. Many times it is not shorter, but it is always the sure path. The carnal mind will perceive the cost of the journey too expensive and the financial condition of your life unable to afford the journey of faith. Doubt has bonded to carnality and conspired to persuade me to look upon my natural possessions and abilities instead of the source within me. Doubt is not God's voice of sufficiency, neither is the voice of doubt the voice that he has sent. He has placed the voice of faith within me to grant me the better testimony of the resurrection. The voice of the resurrection speaks better things than these voices authored by fear and unbelief.

 

 

#236

I am not traveling the wrong path because of the many "no" replies sent into my hearing. These voices do not determine God's actions, neither are these voices the last voices coming my way. Confidence in the Lord will assure me that the answer is arriving on the wings of angels. I will place my confidence on the wings of faith until the angels manifest the answers in the distance. I will do whatever I can do with all my might and keep my hands busy for the cause of God. Busy actions will keep faith flowing. When faith has filled my atmosphere with the actions of faith, I will find my answers flowing on the waters of my actions. I will keep busy and not be distracted by my own desires. Many ask, but they ask amiss because they ask to assume things upon their own lusts. As Israel murmured and grumbled and was not satisfied with miracles and manna from heaven, so have many murmured and doubted because of the desires manifested by their lust for things outside the will of God.

I will speak truth in the face of my lust for things and answers that are too premature to be born now. If I continue to bombard God's throne with requests from my list of lusts, then I will have many premature answers to take care of. Many are consumed with taking care of premature answers. These premature answers are now unwanted babies that now must be cared for with time that could have been redeemed and used in the kingdom of God.

I will send this lust away, and I will reckon myself dead to its voice. Lust will persuade me to leave the will of God if I continue to listen to THE WINE OF ITS WORDS. The wine of lust is poured out at every table, but the wine of the Holy Spirit of God is poured continually for those who eat at the Lord's table also. I will choose this day which table I will eat and drink from. The choice of my table will determine the voice that I listen to. I come from the table of devils, and now I will not be consumed with the inspiration of lust. It is my choice, not the angel's choice. It is my choice, not God's choice. It is my choice, not my brother's or my sister's choice. I will serve the Lord.

 

 

#237

Many are ensnared with the effects that came from lust. The Lord has made a way to escape out of the snares of temptations. I have escaped to the table of the Lord, for he has distracted lust and stood in the path of the tempter. He took the wrath of the tempter; therefore, I will escape in this service while the door to the table of plenty is opened for me. I will flee this youthful lust. I will flee this lust that has hidden in my heart to betray my love. I will not pause to argue with the tempter, or I will short change love. I accept my losses at the table of the devil, and I will run to the table of the Lord. The food at God's table is more than enough to cover the losses at the enemy's table. I come to God and continue the journey of faith. The earnings of faith are enough. They are sufficient. I will not be weary. I am doing well although the enemy says that I am not doing well. I will continue in faith, and I lift up my voice in thanksgiving. The Lord has made a way and used my earnings of faith wisely. The proceeds from my earnings of faith shall not fail in the face of my seemingly uncertain future. I rejoice and I will continue this journey of faith.

 

 

#238

God is pouring out his Spirit upon all flesh. Those who are asking for his Spirit are receiving it. It is impossible for him to lie. He has promised that sons and daughters would prophesy. Those who stand in the way of this fulfillment shall be found fighting against God. I determine not to be one of those who exalt themselves above the knowledge of God, for they shall not tarry in his sight. They shall be turned unto another spirit and be compelled to bear with it in its tormenting tactics of fear.

The Lord's Spirit has spoken and declared that sons and daughters shall prophesy, and no one shall prevent them. I have God's Spirit, and I am for this fulfillment. God is faithful. I have made up my mind not to be wise in my own conceit, but I am humbled that I am chosen to hear his voice. I purpose not to follow another voice, and I decide not to receive another spirit. There is another Jesus. I conclude that I will not receive him. Those who receive him must bear with him.

God has allowed me to behold who he is and allowed me to hear and know his voice. Unbelief has hindered many. Unbelief has been used by the enemy to blind the hearts of many. The evil heart of unbelief has turned many from the Lord. They turned themselves away from him; therefore, their ears have been turned from the truth, and they shall be turned unto fables if they do not repent.

 

 

#239

I must watch in all things and endure hardships and afflictions. The ministry within me must be utilized to its fullest extent. I determine to make full proof of it and to do the work of an evangelist also. I purpose not to fragment the ministry within me. Many have fallen because they refused the grace to make full proof of the ministries that the Lord has given. Ministering ability has been given to me. I decide not to compare myself with others. This is foolishness. I will not be a man pleaser, but I will seek to please God. When my ways have pleased him, he will make even my enemies to be at peace with me. There is a course to finish. However, I must keep the faith and fight a good fight. When it is time for me to be offered and the time of my departure is at hand, I will be ready. I seek love. I will not succeed in loving God's appearing if I do not sincerely love others that are created in his image.

A crown of righteousness is laid up for those who love the Lord's appearing; therefore, I turn at his reproof, and he will pour out his Spirit unto me and make known his words unto me. God has stretched out his hand to me. I make up my mind not to refuse his counsel and hate his knowledge. Many are eating of the fruit of their own way and are filled with their own devices. I determine not to be simple, for the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. The Lord has not called me to dwell in the tents of evil, so I hear his words unto me today. Now I shall dwell safely and quietly from the fear of evil. Peace shall be my reward and a right heart shall be restored to me. A prophetic ministry is given to me. I purify my heart by faith, which is in me. I make the decision to live as though I was going to be stoned today and die for his name. I will be full of the Holy Ghost at all times then will I prophesy out of a pure heart, and I will be prepared to look steadfastly into heaven and see his glory. He has opened up heavenly places unto me. I open my ears, and I hear what he is saying unto me.

 

 

#240

I trust the Lord, and I do not make anything or anyone my arm. Jesus is the arm of the Lord. He is all-sufficient, and there is no need to lean on anything else. I believe on him as he has testified. What he has spoken is forever settled in heaven. His word is not confined to a book. His word existed before I or any man existed. His word is eternal. From his word, the master design for man came. He has not started a good work and drawn back before finishing what he started. God is on time and never late; therefore, I determine not to allow my concept of time to arrest my faith and carry it to dungeons of unbelief. Many dwell in the prisons in their own mind because they do not trust the Lord when their timing conflicts with his fulfillment. He has promised, and he will do what he has promised.

I have decided to be fully persuaded, and I will cease staggering at his promise. I have allowed unbelief to become a lord over me. I have allowed it to spiritually cause a cardiac arrest within me and turn me unto the bed of an invalid. Many are confined to the wards of natural men while the working of miracles waits to express the power of divinity in them. I am unshackled this morning, and I arise from my beds and wards of unbelief. The spirit of error has contaminated those who are looking away from God's faithfulness. I receive the healing for my heart this morning so that an evil heart of unbelief does not take me beyond this point. God desires to empty out these institutions of religion and bring his people to the power of God unto true salvation.

 

 

#241

The Lord came by my bed of sorrow and touched me with the finger of God. I am touched by his finger, and a new act is written inside. I have acted according to the writings inscribed by intimidation and distraction. A host has come to detour God's people from the true faith. His gifts are poised to express themselves. As mighty weapons prepared and aimed for the destruction of an enemy, his gifts are prepared to destroy the host against his people. Souls are walking into damnation while his people struggle in prisons of doubt and unbelief. He has come to deliver them from unbelief and turn them unto serving the Living God. He allowed me to fall into the trap door of unbelief. Now I behold how many of his people are here. I will go and loose them with the promises that are in my heart by prophecy. I will speak the testimonies that are within me, and the people shall be persuaded by the promises. I bind unbelief and make a clear path for faith as I speak the words of God that produce the vehicle of hearing. I determine to be strong in faith while I give glory unto the Lord. He has counted my faith as righteousness. Now my effectual prayers shall seize many benefits and make them my own. I purpose to rejoice and be filled with new joy. My cross was not a bed of affliction but a foundation for my weak legs. I choose to run and fulfill the purpose.

 

 

#242

The floods of sin and degradation had gone over my head and filled my life with death and judgment. The night of the judgment for sin had come to my door. The celebration for my damnation was being enacted by the spirits that authored my doom. The day of chance and likelihood of grace was departed as a giant super jet in flight, but out of the cold, dark waters of sin's awful flood, Jesus rescued me. I heard the waters part as he came out of the dark waters with me in his arms. I remember the sound of the parting waters that had held me under for the judgment of my sins. Nothing could have brought me out, for I was destined for the arms of hell. Hell had reached to receive me, and demons began to rejoice at my doom and damnation, but mercy entered the arena and shoved away judgment. Love inspired goodness to leap on the platform of a watery place assembled for those whose damnation was sure and sealed by conspiring enemies of the deep.

The symphony of death played its chorus, and the laughter of evil echoed its tunes of disharmony. I was helpless and held by the chords of my own sins. I was a captive in an evil place with no possible escape route. I could not rescue myself, neither could mother, nor father, nor friend. Hopeless was my cause and doomed to die, I was, but love stepped in and invaded the chambers of the damned. Love presented the keys to my cell and brought me out of the cold, dark waters of sin's awful sea.

The scenario of my mind is not an illusion, but it is a true description of my past conditions and hopelessness. I was in a world without hope, but now I am the child of the King. In a dark valley of dark waters that have drowned many, I was not drowned by sin's clutching hands, which have choked multitudes unto damnation.

 

 

#243

I cannot count the many blessings I have. There is nothing that I can mark down for the salvation of my soul. There is no numeral that I can mark down for the salvation of my soul. There is nothing that I can give in exchange for the deliverance from the sea of destruction and the shame of the nakedness of my life. There is nothing that I can mark down as a payment for the deliverance from the hands that held me with the surety of an alligator's grip. There is nothing that I can write down in my memory as a memorial for the date and time of my deliverance. There is nothing that I can sell out for, and no one will be my ticket out of the kingdom. No woman is worth the torment of hell. No man is worth the torment of hell. There is nothing that I can give in exchange for my soul. There is nothing that I can give in exchange for such a place as the heavenly places in Christ. A position in hell is not an equal exchange for the heavenly place that I have in Christ. It does not make sense to sell the truth when I bought it with priceless sacrifice.

I have come to the table of reasoning and beheld the joy of salvation. I have come to the table of reasoning and beheld again the drama of my past life. I have beheld my life floating down to the door of the damned. Most of the friends that pulled at my love of the Father are now in hell. Many of the women who brought offerings of death and damnation are also there. I have come and beheld the joy at the throne where all things of my old nature are laid aside. God has relieved me of my heavy burden. He has shown me of the joy of serving a merciful master.

 

 

#244

Jesus came that I might have life and that I might have it more abundantly. He has not fallen short of his purpose. He purposed to bring me abundant life, and he will finish what he has started. By faith, I may perceive the fulfillment now. I have fallen short of this fulfillment. However, this does not nullify God's promise to me. I am not strong enough to pull the bow of righteousness and hit the target of God's righteousness. This is only fulfilled by faith and the Lord's imputation. All have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Sin entered into the world by lust. God has placed another door in the earth that I might enter into heavenly places by faith. The door that sin came through shall not prevent me from tasting the fruit of God's promises. He has satisfied justice and judgment by love's offering. Though truth cried out against me, mercy shoved me out of the way of the gavel of justice. Though righteousness revealed my wretchedness, peace embraced me in the presence of powerful judgment. I have been vindicated and declared righteous by faith. There are no charges against me, for God has placed all of my debts and sins on his account. Abundant life is now mine. I purpose not to allow it to remain on the shelf of life. Unbelief has confronted me and stood in front of life's shelf. I will walk through unbelief, and remove life's abundance from the shelf. It is mine. God gave it to me. There is no one that can prevent me from gathering it with my hands of faith.

 

 

#245

I look to God's words unto me, for he will teach me how great faith is. He will show me what faith can do. He has given unto me a measure of faith. It is growing exceedingly great. He has placed the faith of Jesus Christ in the hearts of those who believe. I behold faith on trial in the presence of impossibility. Faith is not intimidated by the voice of impossibility. Faith has an expression that comes from the faithful witness inside of me.

I have a spirit that is different from the spirit of the world. The spirit of prophecy is in me, and Jesus' testimony comes from it. I will never be satisfied with the things of the world. I have been born into another kingdom. I am created in newness of life. True righteousness and true holiness abide in me. I will allow Christ to live his life out in me. Through me, he will express the true faith. True faith knows no boundary. There is no circumstance that can frame true faith, but true faith frames all things and all circumstances. I come from within my circumstances, and I allow Christ to show me the territories that are mine in this life.

An enemy has shown me borders and boundaries. The Lord has given me righteousness and holiness as boundaries and borders. In the light of righteousness and holiness, I have many treasures. I rise up from this valley of borders and boundaries where idol worshippers abide, and I come into the new dimension of unlimited power. I am not worshipping in ignorance, but I am worshipping in spirit and in truth. The Lord has sought me and found me. He is seeking those with faith to become true worshippers. He has not promised me something and not given me the power to believe. He has given unto me the measure of faith. I have shown God the faith that he gave me. He did not leave me an empty relationship without a voice. I have his written word, but I also have his voice within me. The voice within me is not another voice. It is the voice of the living Word of life.

Many have the letter of the word, but many do not know the spirit of the word. God has pronounced this blessing upon me and given me ears to hear and eyes to see. I purpose to continue in the faith given unto Abraham and seek until I have found the glory of the promises. Grace will not lead me into deserts where that same grace cannot provide what I need. Faith is on a journey continually. It will not stand still with the things that are dead. Faith preserves life; therefore, faith will give life and light.

I have an altar. By faith, I will worship with all my heart, mind, soul, and strength then will I know the difference between the precious and the vile. Before my face, is that which is precious and that which is vile. I will choose the precious blood of Jesus as my pathway, and the key of its access will be mine forever.

I determine not to journey in the paths where the blood of Jesus has not been welcomed. Only this new and living way is the highway for my journey. I decide not to be fearful to travel the path of his blood. His blood is leading me across a desert right now. However, I will not be weary in my desert of testing, for here I will learn that faith will show me the well-watered plains in a desert. Here in this desert, faith will show me strength beyond myself. Here in this desert, faith will show me its shield from the windstorms in the desert. Here in this desert, faith will show me courage in the face of rulers of the darkness of this world. I purpose to trust in Jesus with all my heart. My own understanding cannot perceive what faith sees; therefore, I will not lean to my own understanding, which uses human resources and abilities to perceive. In my times of trouble, I will lean on the arms of this mighty faith. Faith's power is not diminished in the presence of wicked powers of darkness. Faith's power rules over all the kingdoms of this world. Though the princes of these kingdoms have made slaves of others, I will not be a slave to these kingdoms or their princes. Though others have become lifetime slaves to these kingdoms and their princes, I will not reside there again.

God has translated me into a New Kingdom of light. The light of this New Kingdom shines for me. I view the shining light of the kingdom of God, and I walk in its light before my feet. As a giant spider of the night, the prince of darkness awaits my entrance into its lair. Though I hear the voice of the prince and feel the wind from his words, God has led me through his lair and preserved me in the safety of his name. My mind is made up not to fear as I travel through the lair of cruelty and darkness. The light of the Lord's tower has already subdued all these things. He has placed all the things that I have feared under his feet.

All the kingdoms of this world are in subjection to the Lord; therefore, I know that the blessings imparted unto me shall shine as lights while the curse upon those who do not know him shall be as slime in a pit. I have heard the voices of those who are cursed speak in my ears and voice doubtful disputations. I will not listen to their slimy voices, but I will continue to listen to the voice of the Living Word. From inside the temple of the Holy Ghost, God has spoken. He cursed the pharaoh who sought to touch Sarah. He will curse those who curse me, and he will bless those who bless me. I embrace the blessing of Abraham. God has placed it within me. My riches are within me.

God has given me the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. This alone will bring unto me a good report. He framed the worlds by the Word of God, and the things that are seen were not created of themselves. The things that I see are not responsible for their existence. The framing, which occurred by the word of God, has brought forth worlds. I will believe God to frame the impossible for me.

I have gone unto the sanctuary and offered an excellent sacrifice. I am righteous; therefore, I show forth praise unto the Living God. My praises are a witness of my righteousness, but my lack of praise is a witness of my unrighteousness. There is no way that I can rise from the dead if I am unrighteous and unthankful in this life. My praises and my life must speak for me while I live. There cometh the day when I will speak from the dead. By grace, in my death, my life will say that I am righteous. In my death, the evident exclamation of my praise will say that I believe God. In my death, the testimony of Jesus Christ in me will be heard beyond the grave. I will not be translated into the life to come if I am conformed unto this world.

If sinners are displeased with my life and read the epistle of hypocrisy and spiritual graffiti in my life, there is no way that I can please the Living God. God knows my heart. Man does not know my heart, yet man can behold my lack of praise unto the Lord by my lifestyle. I rise up with a new faith that will guarantee a catching away unto the bosom of faithfulness. I rise up with a faith that pleases the Lord so that I will not be found in the day of Jacob's trouble. Jacob's trouble is approaching the earth. The fire of his trouble burns with the consummation power of hell. I agree to make my calling and election sure, for the testimony of my garments of righteousness must be prepared before translation time. I must please God to be caught up with him.

I refuse the abominable things from the harlot of the age. Enoch refused the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life. His relationship was more important to him than gratifying his flesh. The Lord rewarded him with an eternal embrace that caught him out of reach of worldly pleasures. His kiss of acceptance came before the resurrection forcefully snatched him from the Adamic nature that he was clothed with. I have been instructed in the ways of righteousness, yet I wrestle with loving the God of instruction. I agree to cast myself unto the arms of love and forgiveness, and God will show me a new relationship that dwells outside of what I was in Adam. I cannot please the Lord if I do not come to him as a true believer who knows that he rewards those who diligently seek him. I determine not to cast away my confidence. God is paying a vast reward as a recompense for true confidence in him. My flood cannot sink the ark of grace and love. The uncertain path before my feet cannot confuse the faith which shall direct me to the place appointed for me. Though I do not see the end of my journey and my destination, I know of a truth, that I will dwell in the promises spoken in my ears. I truly believe.

I am fully persuaded that the foundations of my promises are built and made by God. He has not built success for me and detained me in the prison of failure. He has not built the body of Christ to have it overcome by the giants of debt. He has not made me foundations of peace and hired confusion as a condemning agent of my building of peace. I make a decision to look away from this lie in my face, and I behold the truth within me. I have looked outside at uncertainty while truth's fiery eyes are waiting to consume the doubts and fears before my face. I will open my life up for the praises that have been stifled by doubt and unbelief. I determine to open my mouth up for the praise that desires to come forth through a vessel sacrificed unto the God of my way and receive the strength to conceive a seed of praise. The Lord is planting the seed of praise within me. I judge God faithful not unfaithful. He promised, and he will not lie. It is impossible for him to lie.

Innumerable promises shall spring forth from my seed of praise today if I plant them in the realm of his faithfulness. I choose not to leave the seed of praise in the barn of doubt and self-will. My seed will rot in the barn if I neglect to praise God when he has come to woo me with his lovingkindness and tender mercies. I behold the seed of praise, and come plant it in the fruitful ground of the Lord's faithfulness. I will receive strength to conceive a miracle and have it delivered unto my eyes and hands. I judge God faithful who has made me a promise, and he will show me the trees of fruitful praises waving in the face of arrogant adversity. I behold the faithfulness of my God. I embrace his promises, and I am persuaded by them. If I am not persuaded by his promises, there is no way that I will be persuaded by the promise of the resurrection from the dead. The promise of defeat is not greater than the promise of victory. I observe the figure of faith, which is in Jesus Christ raised from the dead, and I frame the dead dreams and visions promised by the devil as living dreams and living visions of hope and truth. The word of God spoken in my hearing has ignited my dull hearing transportation system and started a new journey of faith. I am propelled out of the devil's frame in his hall of defeat, and I am resurrected to the frames of victory.

God has lifted me above the gravity of confusion. He is not its author; therefore, it has no part with me. I am redeemed from all these things. The Lord is the author of love, power, and a sound mind. I refuse to be intimidated by the spirit of confusion. It is under my feet. My God is the author and the finisher of my faith. He has begun a good work in me and no one will make it a bad work. No one shall lay any charge to me and no one will condemn me. No one will abort the work that God has started. Woe unto them that fight against what he is doing. He has not come to use his blood as a chess piece in a game, neither has he come to use his people as instruments of experimental war games. He has come and granted me life and that more abundantly; therefore, I will not fear. The Lord has already granted the revival I seek. I behold it in the dimension of love and faith. I lift up my eyes from presumptuousness and mental smallness. I determine to not allow the carnal influences of those who do not have God's vision to cloud my mind with seeds of doubt and unbelief. The evil heart of unbelief is working in our midst. I purpose to take the sword of the Spirit and cut off the vines of doubt and unbelief. These vines have attempted to grow over the walls of victory. God has revealed their subtlety unto me. I refuse to listen to the voices of distraction. I hear the voice of faith that speaks in me. The Lord can do all things; therefore, I will not lean to my own understanding. I will not lean to the assumptions of the doubters and those who walk not by faith. I hear the voice of prophecy. It speaks in my ears with inspiration from the Faithful Witness as he grants me the testimony of Jesus Christ.

 

Hebrews 10:22 - 23

Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)

 

 

Ephesians 2:8-9

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
