Called Unto a Specific Time Period for the Lord's Glory and Sustained by a Rich, Reliable, and Available God

The light of my glorious gospel will not stop shining because of your problems or the presence of evil and conspiracy. I know the doings of men and women. Nothing is hidden from my eyes. Know this of a truth; I am just. I will give unto everyone according to his works and the things in the heart. Remember, I know the motives of men and women; therefore, rest in this security that I am just and will not suffer you to be moved. I have tried the reins of your heart and allowed you to see what is in you. Be assured that I will not allow evil to overcome you; therefore, do not render evil for evil but render good for evil. I will repay the evildoers and the schemers. I have not brought you here to abuse you, nor to allow you to be robbed by evil. Lift up your eyes and your head again and trust me, the faithful Lord.

I am God and there is no God beside me. Lift your eyes and behold me, the living King. I have ministered to you in this time of weariness; therefore, receive the strength imparted by my Spirit. New strength has been given to you. Now go forth in the power of the Spirit and my name. My name is within you. I have called you by my name. You are set apart unto me for my own purpose. Do not fear the plans of evil, neither concern yourself with the words of the enemy spoken in your ears. Acknowledge me in all your ways. I will strengthen your heart continually. I am supplying all your need according to my riches in glory. In glory, the riches of your Lord are unsurpassed. I am rich and available to you; therefore, worship with all that is within you. Do not succumb to the weak things that have come against you. They speak with loud voices and appear to be beyond you in strength and capability. Look at my strength. Look at my ability. Look at my wisdom. Look upon my love and behold Calvary again. Look and see that my love has not changed. I am the living Savior. Look and learn of my love for you in this time of trial. Behold that it is the same.

Why trust in man?

Man did not create you. Man did not start you in this way of the holy. I started a good work. Will I not continue and complete it?

Do not trust in the vain things of man. Do not trust in the hope of those who promise liberty but are themselves in bondage to themselves and spirits of deception. I have called you unto this time period for my own glory. Now rest in the fact of my promise. I cannot lie; therefore, rest in my promises to you. They shall come to pass and that speedily.

"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 Deception, Evil Doers, Fear, Problems, and Schemers

By Debbie McBee

The light of God’s glorious gospel will not stop shining because of my problems or the presence of evil and conspiracy. He knows the doings of men and women. Nothing is hidden from his eyes. I now know this of a truth; Jesus is just. He will give unto everyone according to his works and the things in the heart. I will remember that he knows the motives of men and women; therefore, I will rest in the security that he is just and will not suffer me to be moved. He has tried the reins of my heart and allowed me to see what is in me. I am assured that he will not allow evil to overcome me; therefore, I will not render evil for evil but I will render good for evil. The Lord will repay the evildoers and the schemers. He has not brought me here to abuse me, nor will he allow me to be robbed by evil. I lift up my eyes and my head again and trust him, the faithful Lord.

Jesus is God and there is no God beside him. I lift my eyes and behold him, the living King. He has ministered to me in this time of weariness; therefore, I am receiving the strength imparted by his Spirit. New strength has been given to me. Now I will go forth in the power of the Spirit and his name. His name is within me and he has called me by his name. I am set apart unto him for his own purpose. I will not fear the plans of evil, neither will I concern myself with the words of the enemy that are spoken in my ears. I purpose to acknowledge God in all my ways and he will strengthen my heart continually. He is supplying all my needs according to his riches in glory. In glory, the riches of my Lord are unsurpassed. He is rich and available to me; therefore, I worship with all that is within me. I will not succumb to the weak things that have come against me. They speak with loud voices and appear to be beyond me in strength and capability. I look at his strength and ability. I look at his wisdom. I will look upon his love and behold Calvary again. I look and see that his love has not changed. He is the living Savior. I look and learn of his love for me in this time of trial. I behold that it is the same and there is no reason to trust in man. Man did not create me. Man did not start me in this way of the holy. Jesus started a good work and I know that he will continue and complete it. I will not trust in the vain things of man. I will not trust in the hope of those who promise liberty but are in bondage to themselves and the spirits of deception. He has called me unto this time period for his own glory. Now I rest in the fact of his promise. He cannot lie; therefore, I rest in his promises to me. They shall come to pass and that speedily.

RE: RHEMA - Called Unto a Specific Time Period for the Lord's Glory and Sustained by a Rich, Reliable, and Available God

God's purpose for us will never be held hostage by the affairs of men. Many times the affairs of men involve us in a negative and prosecutorial manner. Joseph's dreams seemed to cause him to be in a train wreck with his own family. Yet, before his journey through bondage and prison was over, he was a wealthy ruler of much of the planet. God caused the controversial to become the creative. Daniel's desire to save the other wise men at the beginning seemed to back fire with their hatred of the favor that he obtained from the rulers. Yet, God elevated him above them all and performed such a miracle in the lion’s den it is mentioned in the same breath of all time with walking on water. What the devil wants to turn us into is a byword or vulgarity. God has chosen to say of us like Job that we are his servant. Our lives were created to be filled with the riches of God's provision, and he will never fail to bless us. Israel was 400 years in Egypt. When they were ready to depart, the very people that had just lost their firstborn loaded them down with great wealth. God delights in turning what appears to be a disaster into glorious destiny. Paul's shipwreck brought revival to an island that would probably have been forgotten by everyone. We can be sure that God's word will not return void and our circumstances in life will not leave us shaking in fear.

By Moses Hightower

I am exposing this enemy and leading you around the pitfalls in your path. The enemy may lie in ambush and conceal himself behind the veil of the unknown, but I am your refuge, a sanctuary of peace. I am not your last resort. I am your only resort in the war against principalities and powers. These spirits are rulers of the darkness of this world. Make your home in my grace as you enter through the door of humility. My grace is sufficient for you. A diversion has been created. You are not a fugitive; therefore, do not allow suggestions in the spirit realm to lure you into the enemy's loophole. I do not need a loophole. I am God, and I am the light. Walk in the light, and do not look for a diversion through the unknown. My sheep know and hear my voice. Hear the voice of confidence in God, and do not be sealed inside of trouble through the doors of ignorance. Allow ignorance to be simple backgrounds that you ignore. Leave these backgrounds to me. I understand them. You see through a glass darkly. There is no film over my eyes. Remember, I know all things. The suspense that you feel has not perplexed me. Place your trust in me completely, and this enemy will not embarrass you. The sword of embarrassment is drawn. Do not search for its origin or its direction, for that is merely a leap in the dark. Give me your heart, mind, soul, and spirit, and do not be entangled by your words. Simply trust in me. I am faithful. I have halted the swing of the pendulum that has swung before your face. Do not place your hand to it to stabilize it. You will only increase its swing, for doubt shall unsettle the balance. I have given you the faith to rely on my faithfulness. Faith is not leading you to trust in doubtful meanings and uncertain expressions. I have not sent you riddles and puzzles. I have extended the hand of God to guide you. Now follow me as I show you what is on the other side of the unknown. A dark glass is not your mirror of direction. The way through this ambush is past your comprehension. It is beyond the depth of your knowledge and understanding. The seal of secrecy is known of me; therefore, trust me. The unknown has no secrecy and no privacy in my presence. Hide yourself in my presence. The fullness of joy is your bed. Rest in me.

RE: RHEMA – The Spirit of Grace and of Supplication Endows Us with Power to Withdraw from the Diversions of the Flesh and the Devil

Jesus declares that he stands at a closed door and knocks. He has come to us desiring to sup and fellowship with us. As we pray in the Spirit, we should listen for the directives and the delights that the Spirit will transfer into our lives. Many become depressed in their struggles and prayers because they have never found the delights and treasures of the power of God that are ours in the fellowship of the Spirit. Negative polarization of our spirit is the result of spiritual frustration. Spiritual frustration is the result of no intimacy with the Promise Keeper. He who keeps covenants is the companion who has already walked every dark valley and been through every rending storm for us. He comes to us with a cargo hold full of victory and joy. Diversions are the favorite tactic of the enemy. Whatever form they are in they will cause us to eat the miserable menu of minuses. When we focus on the One who the diversion is over, we will be swept up in his arms beyond the reach of the icy arms of deathly experiences. We are not plastic puppets of the trivial. We are the powerful warriors of the end of the age.

Grace is the dynamic ability to do what the flesh could not do. The flesh is too weak to be able to do the will of God because it is part of the gravity center of self. Grace is the power center of the greatness and grandness of the goodness of God that leads us to repentance. Not only does the grace of God lead us to Christ, it will establish us and keep us. Paul said that it was not him that was working but the grace that was with him. Hebrews 13:21 tells us that that same working will perfect or complete us in every good work. We are encouraged to seek first the kingdom of God. His kingdom is a kingdom of power and grace. When we prioritize our life, every piece will fit into place. We are a picture of mass confusion when we fail to put the Lord first in everything. As we continue in prayer and daily seeking him, we will become part of an every coming kingdom. We will be led in the paths of righteousness. In Hebrews 2:2, it talks about those who will not listen to the voice of the Spirit. They are called transgressors and disobedient. This has to do with stepping around truth and listening around until you hear what you want to hear. We must hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches. If we fail to hear the voice of the Spirit then the candle of revelation is put out in our lives. Let us not become pawns of the enemy or of this earthly kingdom. We must seek his face and his ways and he will direct our paths.

By Milton Rodriguez

I magnify your name Jesus for you are King of kings, Lord of lords, and God of gods. You rule over all the kingdoms of this world and give it to whomsoever you will. You are not limited by time or space. Neither are you limited by man’s abilities or the lack thereof. You take great pleasure in exalting the naught and bringing to naught the high and mighty that no one would glory in themselves before your presence. You are in control every step of the way in the journey I am walking in and you do not take counsel with my enemies regarding their desires to entrap me or to destroy my soul. It is up to you alone whether I stand or whether I fall for you are my justifier and it was your blood that was shed for my redemption. I worship you and I appreciate your faithfulness to the covenant you established with your blood. Now I am assured that you will execute the fulfillment of your promises in my life; therefore I am not afraid of my enemies or of their evil desires to harm me. I am not afraid of what tomorrow will bring for you are faithful. Thank you for choosing me, saving me, and investing your life in me. You have allowed me to be a part of your body and your ministry. I give you thanks for using me, a wretch. Unto your name I give glory and praise, for you alone are worthy to receive it. In times past I have suffered wrong by family, friends, and enemies. Now you are delivering me and allowing me to prosper in this land and it has made me forget my previous hurts and pains. You have healed me and made me whole. I am no longer anguished in my heart, mind or soul. Thank you, Lord for your restoration and healing virtue. Now I have a clear and positive outlook in life. Let healing and reconciliation come forth between my enemies and me. Let your love cover the multitude of sins, which I have committed by my ignorance and immaturity.

RE: PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING - October 9, 2007

Our expectation comes from the Lord and it like a crimson cord that was left outside the window of Rahab, the harlot. Our hope will not be cut off. Just as the tree that seems to be dead that is in Job 14 and seems to be cut down, and yet at the scent of water, we will bud and live again. Elijah heard the sound of abundance of rain long before there was a cloud seen. We do not depend on the words of others and neither are we moved by the testimony of the fearful and doubting. We can be sure that even if we fail that God will restore and repair our lives by his mercy. We are not built on the foundations of judgment but of grace and love. When we are attacked even by our own family, the Lord will make us to stand. Jesus said that our real family is made up of the ones that are doing his will.
