Words of Light Upon the Face of Impossibilities

 

February 4, 2005

 

I have entered into his gates with thanksgiving and into his courts with praise. Thankfulness has consumed me. Now will I see the benefits of a thankful heart. Grace produced gratitude in me; therefore, the expression of a grateful heart came out of me. I paused to acknowledge him. While showing respect and honor to my king, grace arrested my heart and emptied out the fruit of appreciation. I was without understanding when he saved me. God has brought me to a point in life where visions of grace are clearly seen. The mental pictures that I see will become realities in my life. The visions of grace will become revelations of divine impartations. The visualizations given me shall become speaking pictures of life. I look into the distance and behold the impossible situations become potential realities of the Lord's goodness. Nothing is too hard for God. Though the impossibilities I behold seem very difficult for my humanity, these things are easy for God.

I will not allow the testimonies from the voice of hopelessness to frighten me. Their testimonies and their claims are unacceptable in God's presence. He has declared every voice of doubt offensive in his presence. The things that are too difficult with me are possible with the Lord. My difficulties will be hard to manage if I continue to look upon my own ability and my own resources. I give Jesus this stubborn problem that I am facing, and I will watch him turn it into a glorious testimony of his love. I have beheld a problem that is turned inside out. By faith, I behold it the way God intended me to behold it. I remember the sock turned inside out. This is what God has done to my problems. Difficult situations have come voicing questions in my presence. Jesus is the answer to all of their questions. I will direct these things to God, and I say unto all these things, "If God is for me, who can be against me?"

These things have challenged my authority as a believer. They came to complicate my faith. Faith is simple. I will not be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. He gave me faith. He gave it to every man. I will no longer go in the path of ignorance, attempting to establish my own righteousness. I submit myself unto the righteousness of God. Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believes. The righteousness, which is of faith, speaks and says, "The word is near you, even in your mouth and in your heart, that is, the word of faith, which you preach; that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you shall be saved. For with the heart, man believes unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."

No man has ever been made ashamed that has done this. It is impossible for God to lie. I call on his name in the presence of these interrogators of the night, and he will save me from the dilemmas that have been brought to me. I have heard the word of God. It did not fall among thorns. He gave me grace, and the word was not choked with cares, riches, and the pleasures of this life. The word that he sent into my hearing is bringing fruit unto perfection. I am not justified by works but by the faith of Jesus Christ. No flesh will glory in his presence; therefore, I submit to the working of faith in me. It works with power and might unto success in all things. I have not sought to be justified by what I have done; therefore, I am not found a sinner. Jesus is not the minister of sin. He is the minister of righteousness. Righteousness has exalted me. This righteousness did not come by works. If it had, Christ would have died in vain. I was crucified with Christ, and Christ lives in me. The life that I live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I purpose not to frustrate the grace of God. I believe the speaking word. It is authentic and true. I know it; therefore, am I free.

 

 

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.
