Led in the Path of Righteousness Through the Prison House of Men’s Politics and Arenas of Men Pleasers Where Brothers Are Slain by Brothers and the Young Are Poisoned by the Will of Man

Have I saved you to make you ashamed?

He who believes on me shall never be ashamed. Call on my name and behold the deliverance behind the spoken door of my name. When you speak my name, you create a door for deliverance to walk through. I have said that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered. Those who are my delight shall be delivered. You are the seed of Christ; therefore, you are the seed of the righteous. As I delivered Lot, I will deliver you. I will contend with those who contend with you, and I will save your children. I have said that I will feed them that oppress you with their own flesh. They shall be drunk with their own blood as with sweet wine, and all flesh shall know that I, the Lord, am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. Do not fear the voice of circumstances and the consequences of the rejections by man. I am not influenced by man's desires and will. Who has taught me to make judgment?

Who has been my counselor?

I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel. I have released you from sin and let you go. By my same grace, I have preserved you and counted you worthy to escape all the things that are coming upon this earth. I have not planned to give you up to the will of your enemies, neither have I planned to give you back to the darkness that held you by the power of your own sins. The payment that I rendered is sufficient for recompense and restoration. Believe on my word and have confidence in your salvation. I have not given you salvation and betrayed myself. You are not your own now. You belong to me. Will I deny myself?

You are loosed and set free. I have rescued you out of this present evil world. The dangers of this world cannot pluck you out of my hand. The cords of your own sins held you, but I abolished your sins and rescued you. Many calamities will come upon this world. I am your Deliverer and I am mighty in salvation and deliverance on your behalf. In the world, you will have temptations, tribulations, persecutions and sufferings. I will deliver you out of all of these. You have been oppressed by the attitudes and influences of others. Lift up your eyes. Lift up your head. I will not gratify your foes, for I am not influenced to please others in judging you. I do not gratify the wishes of men in my judgment. I forgave all of your sins. Now grant me your faith in my grace and mercy and experience your release from all bondage and captivity. I have liberated you. I have not held you in the prison house of men's politics. You perceive yourself rejected by others because you have attempted to enter into arenas that I have never planned for you. These are arenas of men pleasers where brothers are slain by brothers and the young are poisoned and killed by the will of man. The men pleasers will never experience true joy and singleness in heart. There is a path of true righteousness and true holiness. Awaken from the self-imposed prison in your mind and run down the highway of true liberation. Come and follow me. I am leading you in the path of righteousness. It is a plain path where the will of enemies does not hinder or abort your labor of love for my name. Come and follow me. Leave your frustrations behind you. Leave the mysteries of men and their actions at this altar of prayer. Bring along the sacrifice of praise and the faith of Jesus Christ. Now behold the clarity of the path before your feet.

"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light, and there was light."

Words of Light upon the Face of Calamities, Frustration, Men Pleasers, Oppression, Shame, and the Will of Man

RE: RHEMA - Led in the Path of Righteousness Through the Prison House of Men's Politics and Arenas of Men Pleasers Where Brothers Are Slain by Brothers and the Young Are Poisoned by the Will of Man

God recently spoke to me about this very trap of being concerned about the politics of men and the entanglements that are part of pleasing men. He said, "I have appointed you to do the work that you are doing before men saw or heard of it. Will you now allow the measure of limited understanding to measure the mercy that you allow to flow to everyone that is around you? Satan has long attacked men with the appeal to their acceptance and approval of others. If I have approved you, do not allow the fires of anger and rejection to burn in you. Only let the fires of love burn in you to do my will with compassion and concern for those whom I have opened the door for you to minister to. It does not matter what others think. It only matters that the thirsty have living waters to drink. Do not expend your energy trying to debate or deny minor details of the musing of men. I have placed the music of eternity in your heart. Dancing to the music of copies and parrots will not set men free. Refuse to hear the cacophony of the confusion of voices around you. Hear my voice and speak my words. Times of miraculous and multiplied deliverance are before you. Chasing the voices of dissent is like a dog chasing fleas. I have called you to run after me and not men."

By Moses Hightower

Sin is deceptive. When it is finished, it will mock you. Though sin hides behind the face of beauty, it is ugly when exposed and finished. When sin is finished, it will send you into a rage. Your rage will not receive an answer from sin when you question the tabernacle of its dwelling. Silence will be its answer, and ignorance shall be its expression when you inquire to find out the why to the pain that produces the rage of insanity. Wisdom writes with the pen of pain. Wisdom draws with the paintbrush of rage. The chaotic expression that wisdom has drawn is not a disorderly design without any meaning, but its dark and empty form is the picture that depicts the only results that sin can bring. Will your debt ever be paid?

By Don Grigsby

God has not given us the instability of a double mind. Double minds hold court and make God prove every time that his promise is valid. God has given us the spirit of love, and faith that is energized by the love and is shed abroad in our hearts. Perfection is not our penance, but his perfection pens up all the wild dogs of failure that would tear at us. Praise is the preservation of God's promise in our lives. Extenuating circumstances in our lives and scripture give us the example of those who were dismayed by the things that whirled around them. We must be as David when everyone was intimidated by Goliath. He knew that God would deliver him into his hands as sure as the lion and the bear. The size of problems and the degree of difficulty are not any obstacle for the power of God to come and sweep away the armies of the adversary. Our praise will always be the provision of the ram in the bush. When we know that we have trusted in the Lord, the Lord will see to it that it will come to pass. As Israel shouted that his mercy endures forever, his mercy did indeed materialize out of nowhere. Praise cannot be denied when it storms the throne of God. He will always stop everything that he is doing to be embraced by the arms of praise of his children. Our dreams are safe with the dream giver and revealer. He will unroll them like a scroll, and no eraser can remove their existence.

I praise you for the continual grace that you provide for my life. I am full of gratitude that I can call on your name and behold the deliverance behind the spoken door of your name. Your name is a strong-tower of safety that I can run into it and find the security needed for my life. You are my sure foundation, a tried stone, a precious corner stone that I may believe on and never be dismayed. I am thankful for your delivering power that you have demonstrated and continue to bring in my life. Your grace is preserving me everyday that I may continue to walk in the footsteps of your freedom. I am delighted that you have provided my freedom through your truth. You are the truth that I need every moment of my life. The truth concerning your death, burial, and your resurrection has liberated me to a new found hope. I praise you for the restoration you have performed and I give you thanks for being the Liberator, the Deliverer, and the Restorer in my life. Thank you Jesus!

RE: PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING - October 31, 2007

Jesus Christ is the sure foundation of every truth that we will ever experience in the kingdom of God. Multifaceted grace and knowledge are hidden in him but revealed by the Spirit in our lives. Visible and invisible creations set before us the tables of feasting on his goodness. From Alpha to Omega or from A to Z and everything in between all that can be written or spoken already exists in him. Our existence in him is a continual celebration of his active participation in our lives. Jesus Christ will preserve us blameless, body, soul, and spirit until he shall come.
