The Preservation of the Bloodline by the Hands of Love (Part 3)

False promises authored by the prince of the power of the air are not liberty. Satan is a servant of corruption. Then how can he promise you liberty when he is destined for a lake of fire?

Your death in Christ Jesus did not destroy you and bring you into bondage. Your death in Christ by baptism freed you from sin. I have circumcised your heart and filled you with the spirit of the resurrection. The resurrection carries you to the bed of rest and healing. The arms of the resurrection are here to comfort you. I have taken up those wounded on the fences of grace, which are many times the fences of grief and sorrow. Lay in these strong arms, and I will carry you to the bed of healing and deliverance. From the beginning of the church, the enemy has sought to destroy the bloodline of righteousness. He cannot destroy this bloodline, for the gates of hell shall not destroy, nor keep out my body. Your death shall not prevent my purpose. Your willing retirement from my body shall not prevent another from stepping in to be used by me to propagate this royalty to others. The enemy shall not kill or destroy those who are to fulfill the promises of the propagation of the royal bloodline. They seek for a way, but they shall find none, for there is no way to destroy the body of the resurrection. The spirit that dwelt in Christ is in you, and this spirit shall continually quicken you as you encounter the sure hands of defeat and death. The spirit of pursuing enemies shall not destroy you; therefore, do not worry. The arms of love have brought you to a safe place and a large room. The enemy thinks that finally he has cornered you and secured your defeat. When he pulls back the curtain of secrecy, he will find you healed and set free.

I have confounded the enemy. He is confused and deceived. The trap of the enemy is empty of his prey. I have bound up the wounds of many, and now I desire to carry you to the bed of rest and bind up your wounds. I have come to bind up the broken hearted. I have come to loose every captive. I have come to bring out every prisoner out of the prison house and bring them to the bed of peace and deliverance. Rest in the bed when you arrive there, but cease to fear this conspiring enemy. The rules of love shall hold your broken places while they heal. The bandages of comfort shall secure your weaknesses while they are being strengthened. Do not worry about the prize in the distance. I am interested in your recovery, not just in your participation and contest for the prize of the high calling. What profit is a pursuit of a prize if your destiny is sealed in the valley of those who perish?

I have called you here to heal you. There is no enemy that can keep you from this healing if you will run to me and not to the arms of human reasoning. The arms of human reasoning are not places of safety. These arms of humanity are weak hands used by the enemy to pass you on to the bloodline of those who already have a fallen nature. Do not be passed from life back to death by your own confidence in self and human philosophy. The price of love is greater than the gain promised by the enemy. Look at the price of love that is now offered you, and accept the benefits purchased by this great love. Rise and be delivered. Rise and be healed. The hands of compassion reach to untangle you and to deliver you.

RE: RHEMA - The Preservation of the Bloodline by the Hands of Love (Part 3)

Our enemy has been selling death for life for so long that he is the very best. His propaganda can be so tantalizing until the full impact drives us into the realm of failure. Satan always promises and never delivers. Satan promises liberty, but his liberty to sin is always bankrupt of virtue and always dressed well in the clothes of lust. Freedom is always depicted as a drama of heavenly proportions but ends in the dimensions of a grave. We know what real freedom and liberty is in the Spirit. We have been transformed and dynamically enlivened with it. Other things should loose their ability to affect us. Satan has always wanted to be God but will never be able to. He would like us to think that we could be our own deity. We fail miserably at every turn. Thank God for the revelation of the power of the Almighty and the insignificance of our own self. Love wrote its edict and mandate on our behalf and nailed it to the cross. The Devil, hell, and all its hosts were spoiled by the power of the cross. God will divide that spoil with those strong in faith and love. Love will stand in the door of our lives and minds to defend his bride from the enemy. We have come too far to think of throwing it all away now. God's investment in us speaks to us of the treasure we have now and of that which is to come. Satan may try to sell sandcastles, but Jesus Christ has bought us with a price. We must refuse to be the servants of men.

I have set a light in the midst of the earth. The consuming fire of my love is waiting on your arrival to the door of your first love. Come. It is near and not very far from any who feels after the door of your first love. Give me your hand, and I will lead you to the door of life again. Come and live in the light as I am in the light, then my blood will continually cleanse you from all sin. Walk no longer along the empty desert places in life. These paths do not end. They are endless paths in the sands of time. I have placed the highway of holiness in the desert of time. You have come to the highway of life. Will you simply observe the peculiar construction in the sands of time?

Or will you hear the call from this peculiar place and join the priesthood of the holy in the royal place built in your path?

Many have come by this holy place and observed these peculiar people and their strange worship, which is in spirit and in truth. Will you enter in and join the holy, or will you pass on into your deserts of dryness and death?

RE: RHEMA - A Shining Tower of Light in the Midst of the Terror of the Night

Perfect love casteth out fear. Tormenting legions are turned into the deep as those who left in the swine from the demoniac of scripture. Satan desires to twist us like a tree in the winds of the gales of fear. Depression and stress come to devour our strength. Night's terror stalks the fearful as they walk in the day. Light bursts on the horizon of the empowered. Love has empowered us with the knowledge that nothing and no one can separate us from the power of his love and the revealing light that it shines on our path. His words are not words of fear but of faith. As we eat the fresh bread from heaven, the wilderness of fear and death is turned into a garden of the blessing of the Almighty. Light will always swallow up the darkness. If the day is getting dark, we should move closer to the light of life. We must put on the armor of light. God has stripped the enemy of all the armor that he trusted in. We have available to us all the power of eternity. Jesus Christ is the tower and refuge in the time of trouble. In the midst of our battles, he will not leave us in the foxholes of life, but he will lift us above the battle in the certainty of victory.

(Continued)

I have come to seek and save that which is lost.

87. What is your purpose?

If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life, shall lose it, and whosoever will lose his life for my sake, shall find it.

88. For what is a man profited if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?

89. Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

90. Are you ashamed of my words and me?

91. Are you ashamed to stand up and say that you trust me with all your heart?

Lord, you know our enemy has been selling death for life for so long that he is the very best. His propaganda can be so tantalizing that the full impact can drive one into the realm of failure. Satan always promises and never delivers, and he promises liberty, but his liberty to sin is always bankrupt of virtue and dressed well in the clothes of lust. I praise you O' Lord because you have taught me what real freedom and liberty are in the Spirit. I thank you that we have been transformed and dynamically enlivened with it. I am thankful that Love wrote its edict and mandate on my behalf and nailed it to the cross. I realize that Love will stand in the door of our lives and minds to defend your bride from the enemy. O' Lord, we have come too far to think of throwing it all away now. Your investment in us speaks to us of the treasure we have now and of that which is to come. You have bought us with a price, and by your grace, we must refuse to be the servants of men.

You have shown me that my death in Christ Jesus did not destroy me and bring me into bondage, but it freed me from sin. I am grateful for a circumcised heart and that you have filled me with the spirit of the resurrection. The resurrection carries me to the bed of rest and healing. I praise you O' Lord that the arms of the resurrection are here to comfort me. As you have taken up those wounded on the fences of grace, I am thankful that we can lie in your strong arms. You will carry us to the bed of healing and deliverance. From the beginning of the church, the enemy has sought to destroy the bloodline of righteousness. I am thankful that he cannot destroy this bloodline, for the gates of hell shall not destroy, nor keep out your body. My death shall not prevent your purpose. My willing retirement from your body shall not prevent another from stepping in to be used by you to propagate this royalty to others. The enemy shall not kill or destroy those who are to fulfill the promises of the propagation of the royal bloodline. They seek for a way, but they shall find none, for there is no way to destroy the body of the resurrection. I thank you Lord that your spirit that dwelt in Christ is in me, and your spirit shall continually quicken me as I encounter the sure hands of defeat and death. The arms of love that have brought me to a safe place and a large room are precious to me. The enemy thinks that finally he has cornered me and secured my defeat. When he pulls back the curtain of secrecy, I am thankful that he will find me healed and set free.

Lord, you have confounded the enemy, and I am thankful that the enemy is confused, deceived, and his trap is empty of his prey. Thank you for binding up the wounds of many. Now you desire to carry me to the bed of rest and bind up my wounds. You have come to bind up the broken hearted and to loose every captive. You have come to bring every prisoner out of the prison house and into the bed of peace and deliverance. I am thankful that the rules of love shall hold my broken places while they heal. The bandages of comfort shall secure my weaknesses while they are being strengthened. I will not worry about the prize in the distance, but my heart is filled with thanksgiving because you are only interested in my recovery, not just in my participation and contest for the prize of the high calling. There is no profit in a pursuit of a prize if my destiny is sealed in the valley of those who perish. You have called me here to heal me. I thank you that there is no enemy that can keep me from this healing if I will run to you and not to the arms of human reasoning. I am glad that the price of love is greater than the gain promised by the enemy. I look at the price of love that is now offered to me and accept the benefits purchased by your great love. As I rise, I am delivered and healed. Thank you for your hands of compassion that have reached forth to untangle me and to deliver me.

RE: PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING - November 26, 2006

Satan is a liar and the father of every false system. We are in the unshakable kingdom of grace that will never fail or let us down. Satan is an intimidator. His voice will fade into the background as we listen to and repeat the words of victory that our Savior has spoken to us. Jesus Christ has begun a good work in us and will perform it until he comes. We have been brought out of the caves of death and destruction by the power of the resurrection. Falling down is not the purpose of us being raised up. We have been raised up to stand against all the wiles of the devil without flinching. God has delivered us from past failures. Their shadows do not cover our path, but it is lit by the brilliant revelation lights of faith. Our deliverance was not for the purpose of bringing us into a storm and then throwing us overboard into the arms of defeat. We are his children by creation and by new birth of the water and spirit. We are kings and priests with power over the destiny of our lives through Jesus Christ. His love has come to liberate the powerless and energize the hopeless. His plans for us were established before the world began. We have been accepted in him before the foundation of the world. No rejection of men or negative remark will separate me from that love. We are the conquerors that he promised we could be. As our eyes are opened to his greatness on our behalf, we will shout over the innumerable numbers against the enemy of our soul.
