You did not ask for the gift within you. I gave it to you. Now do not despise the pain that comes with it. You are taking these things for me. If you suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are you. Rejoice and be glad. The light of the word shines brighter in times of persecution. I was scourged for your sake. Come and view the crimson stream of blood again. Look into the Spirit, and behold my hands and feet dripping blood. My flesh was bathed in my own blood as I trod the winepress alone. The grapes of wrath spewed the juice of redemption. The wine of atonement has been poured into earthen vessels. You were chosen to drink the fruit of life's vine. The wine of the living vineyard is supplied for your peace. Drink the fruit of my vine, and know the joy of redemption. Offer praise for fresh wine this morning. Drink from the fountain of new wine. The wine will make you merry, and your tongue shall be glad. With a glad tongue and a merry heart, confess your trust in the living God. Drink the living wine. The life in it will lift your heart and your spirit. Drink and satisfy your thirst. Here is bread. I am filling you with fresh bread and fresh wine. Taste and see how good I am.

The Faith of Jesus Christ Must Be Activated If You Are To Soar Into Heavenly Places

 

How often have you found mercy in my sight?

Why are you not cut off from my presence?

Are your works a guarantee of fellowship with me?

What is the value of the mercy and grace that you have received?

Look to me again, and behold the awesome grace at my throne. I have stretched forth a sceptre of righteousness and invited you into my presence again. Be thankful, and acknowledge your helplessness to continue in the path of righteousness of yourself. You can of yourself do nothing. All of your righteousness is as filthy rags. Give me your filthy rags today, and I will exchange them for the justification you have left behind. How will you continue in the narrow way without justification by faith, which is in me?

The faith of Jesus Christ must be activated in your life if you are to soar into the heavenly places all about you. You have walked as a pauper among men. It is time to walk as a prince who has power with me, the Almighty God. There is no God beside me. I am the Everlasting Father and the Prince of peace. Today, I have stretched forth my goodness and led you to repentance. I granted you repentance unto life. Now allow the life, which is in you, to flow to those who are without. I have words to speak unto the world in this hour that must flow from my body, the body of Christ. Lift up your voice in thanksgiving, and I will show forth the glory of the word of the Lord. The word of the Lord has come to you, a Gentile. I have sent forth my word and placed it in your tongue. The word of the Lord God is in you. Now be confident of its expression of faithfulness and power. I hold all things together by the word of my power. Now expect to experience how I have held together my body and assured unity by my Spirit.

The sword of the enemy shall not cut away those who are mine. Turn your eyes unto me, and place your hands to the plow of vision. Disassociate yourself from the instruments of darkness, and receive the yoke that I am giving you. My yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Enter into a new walk and a new way for you, the yoke, which is easy and the burden that is light.

RE: RHEMA - The Faith of Jesus Christ Must Be Activated If You Are To Soar Into Heavenly Places

We live by the faith of the Son of God who loved us and gave himself for us. Faith works by love, not a sloppy, sticky, haphazard generality but a definite focus on those who would even nail us to a cross. Our Savior's love melted the heart of the Roman centurion when he saw the unconditional love that rained down of unknowing souls on one of the darkest days of earth. Yet, it was the greatest degree of light that has ever shined upon the face of faith. In the midst of something trying to erase it from the earth, it merely engraved its message on the hardest hearts available and made them front row recipients in a display that they could never afford. We cannot buy faith anymore than we can buy grace. His faith operates in the life of those who have chosen to throw caution to the wind and allow love to reach with the tender and yet powerful hands of faith in the hottest fires of judgment to save the most undeserving soul.

Our enemy is left in the dust those who will ride in the chariot of love and take the wings of faith and fly into the dawn of hope. Love's hopes are fadeless under any circumstances that come. Its expectations are the trumpets that ignite the celebrations of heaven daily. God has come to wrap us in faith and not to allow us to become the meal of the creature of doubt. All the purveyors of fear will be removed into the distant shadows as faith clears its throat and declares it will rise above the den of the noise of the pits of faithlessness.

 

INSTRUMENTS OF DARKNESS

I have found mercy in God's sight many times. I am not cut off from his presence because of his mercy. My works are not a guarantee of fellowship with him. I cannot place a value on the mercy and grace that I have received. I look to Jesus 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 am 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 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 Christ.

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 granted me repentance unto life. Now I allow the life, which is in me, to flow to those who are without. God has words to speak unto the world in this hour that must flow from his body, the body of Christ.

I lift up my voice in thanksgiving, and God 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 am confident of its expression of faithfulness and power. God holds all things together by the word of his power. Now I 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 turn my eyes unto Jesus and place my hands to the plow of vision. I disassociate myself from the instruments of darkness, and I receive the yoke that he is giving me. His yoke is easy, and his burden is light. I enter into a new walk and a new way for me, the yoke, which is easy, and the burden that is light.

 

INSPIRATION

By Don Grigsby

 

RE: RHEMA - The Design of Faithfulness Has Incorporated the Finished Structures of Victory and Satisfaction

Providence has carefully put into the structure of the universe all the details of eternity. Infinity, if embraced with boldness, throws open wide to the possibility of anything. If the universe seems to swallow up massive structures in destruction, they just are recreated in another dimension hidden from natural sight. Every hard, weary, worrisome event that comes to our life should encourage us to look through the keyhole of its paradox at ultimate triumph. Every problem is just a parable of our prevailing. Seeming defeat and disappointment are just the dawns of discovery peeking out from under dark horizons. Rejection's ruin is just the fresh revelation of the renewing power of the Holy Ghost. We spend numberless nights thinking we are in need when all I will ever need has been nailed under my name on his cross. Ghosts, gallows, graves, guilt, and grief may try to crowd out our joy, but grace gathers our graphic shortcomings and erases them and leads us into the gallery of his goodness.

 

 

YOUR KNOWLEDGE

Take unto yourself the whole armor of God.

554. How will you wear the armor of God without the undergarments of humility?

555. How will you wear outer garments of darkness and the armor of God also?

556. Will you wear the armor of God without casting off the outer works of darkness?

557. Who can eat at my table and the table of devils also?
