The Assistance of the Resurrection and Ministering Angels

Lift up your eyes from the pits of this world. I have not selected a pit for your abode. I have called you into my presence to abide with me before the throne of grace. An enemy has sown the seed of doubt in your midst. Do not cultivate this seed of distrust in me. I am faithful. I have promised, and I will perform. I have sent forth the mercies of David, and these mercies are sure. I have called you unto grace, not disgrace; therefore, lift up your eyes unto the harvest. Labor for this meat in the field of grace. There in the harvest field will you find the glory of the last days. I have sent forth more power that you might experience the glory of my promises. I have called you unto sufferings; therefore, do not glory in the things that the enemy desires to hear, but glory in the cross of redemption. I shall show you the power of the suffering of the cross. I have caused you to allow this expression that I might be glorified. Lift your eyes again to the power of the cross, and behold the power of my glorious gospel. Do not be ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation. I know that you believe the gospel. Now live in its power. This gospel and its power are the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Do not be ashamed of my name and me. Go and proclaim the power of my glorious name. It has you hidden from the things that have attacked your body. It has you hidden from the debts that have leaped from the shadows of doubt and unbelief. Do not give credibility to the wave of unbelief that has filled the land, but give praise unto the name that has already been glorified. Lift your eyes, and behold the blessings that are already in the barn of faith. I have called you blessed. Now nothing, no one, no spirit, no principality, no dominion, no person, and no adversary can call you cursed. I lift up one, and I bring down another. Be content in the place that I have set you. I have set you as a pillar in the church. Go forth in the power of the resurrection that carries you. The power of the resurrection is carrying you during this time of weariness; therefore, do not be weary in well doing. You are reaping more than you realize. Carry the harvest to the barn of fulfillment. When it is harvested by the angels that minister, then will you see what you have reaped. Angels have assisted you all the while. Behold their presence in your life in a manner that you have not seen. I am touching your eyes to behold the realness of angelic help in this time of spiritual wickedness against you and the body of Christ. Behold the power of the ministry of angels on your behalf. Go and preach the gospel. My word is already in your tongue, and the expression of the resurrection waits to deliver the people. Prepare for a wave of deliverance on behalf of my name.

DEBTS, DISTRUST, DOUBT, PITS, SUFFERINGS, AND UNBELIEF

I lift up my eyes from the pits of this world. The Lord has not selected a pit for my abode. He has called me into his presence to abide with him before the throne of grace. An enemy has sown the seed of doubt in my midst. I will not cultivate this seed of distrust in Christ. God is faithful. He has promised, and he will perform. He has sent forth the mercies of David, and these mercies are sure. He has called me unto grace, not disgrace; therefore, I lift up my eyes unto the harvest. I labor for this meat in the field of grace. There in the harvest field, I will find the glory of the last days. God has sent forth more power that I might experience the glory of his promises. He has called me unto sufferings; therefore, I do not glory in the things that the enemy desires to hear, but I glory in the cross of redemption. The Lord shall show me the power of the suffering of the cross. He has caused me to allow this expression that he might be glorified. I lift my eyes again to the power of the cross and behold the power of his glorious gospel. I will not be ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation. He knows that I believe the gospel. Now I will live in its power. This gospel and its power are the same yesterday, today, and forever.

I am not ashamed of the name of Jesus and him. I will go and proclaim the power of his glorious name. It has hidden me from the things that have attacked my body. It has hidden me from the debts that have leaped from the shadows of doubt and unbelief. I will not give credibility to the wave of unbelief that has filled the land, but I give praise unto the name that has already been glorified. I lift my eyes and behold the blessings that are already in the barn of faith. The Lord has called me blessed. Now nothing, no one, no spirit, no principality, no dominion, no person, and no adversary can call me cursed. The Lord lifts up one, and he brings down another.

RE: RHEMA - The Assistance of the Resurrection and Ministering Angels

When Paul said that he desired to know him in the power of his resurrection, he was not expressing a void of resurrection power. Peter called it a lively hope. There are dimensions of ecstasy and joy that transcend ordinary joy folded in the dimensions of resurrection power. Elisha's bones were so affected that a dead body touching them arose. When a person is even literally deathly sick, they have been known to rise up on their bed in the embrace of a special anointing and transcend states of consciousness beyond their normal healthy living. There is no power or circumstance that can divert the mighty rivers of the power of the resurrection in our lives. We are the ones who grieve, resist, and quench its liberating power. Promise and provisions of grace will abundantly bear fruit in the presence of the power of the resurrection just as Aaron's rod did. Angels have appeared as morning stars and the captains of armies. They have ushered people out of cities and out of jails. Angels can and will be a tidal wave of help and victory if we will be aware of the power that we have been entrusted with to direct their actions. We are living in the time of the harvest of the end time. Every promise will be fulfilled, and the sweeping tide of the resurrection is at high tide right now. His Word will not fail, but it will be fulfilled in its season.

I lift up my eyes from the pits of this world. God has not selected a pit for my abode. He has called me into his presence to abide with him before the throne of grace. An enemy has sown the seed of doubt in my midst. I do not cultivate this seed of distrust in God. He is faithful. He has promised, and he will perform. He has sent forth the mercies of David, and these mercies are sure. He has called me unto grace, not disgrace; therefore, I lift up my eyes unto the harvest. I will labor for this meat in the field of grace. There in the harvest field will I find the glory of the last days. The Lord has sent forth more power that I might experience the glory of his promises.

RE: RHEMA - A Fresh Wind of Grace in the Presence of the Cloud of Judgment

God said in Isaiah 44:22 that he blots our iniquity like a thick cloud. If grace much more abounds than iniquity, then his grace can erase the cloud of judgment. Faith cannot only make statements of power but also erase the statements of judgment that are made against us. (Col. 2:14) End time events are rushing around us. Men's hearts are failing them for fear of the things that are coming on the earth. The church has been given a place of peace and safety. We should not let anything remove us from the dwelling place that God has provided for us. If God provided an ark in the time of judgment in the time of Noah, then the ark of the testimony and its holy place is the throne of grace that we live before. Treasures of grace are being traded for the trash of traditions in an hour when spiritual inflation binds us to guard the treasure that we have in these earthen vessels. Reconciliation is the propitiation of peace. We must be a mercy seat if we want to have access to the throne of grace. If we have been given the ministry of reconciliation, then even our worship must have atonement in it. In Numbers 16, as Aaron took incense and ran between the living and the dead to make an atonement for the people, we can with the Rhema Word create an atmosphere that will cause the clouds of judgment to part, and the Sun of grace will shine on the land.

(Continued)

Many come with the same traditional ways of devotion. I have not given you the same day, but today is brand new day that I have made. Now make a brand new path through this day that will bring a brand new light to someone else’s life. Everyone that meets you should recognize that you are not ordinary, for I have placed extraordinary power inside of you. Allow this extraordinary power to perform astonishing and amazing things in you. You have resorted to ordinary things long enough. You have allowed the devil to confine you on an ordinary island of traditional spirituality. I desire to show you of my creative power that is working in you unto the greatness that I have promised to do in you. I have said, “Greater things than these shall you do.”

140. Have I lied?

Give thanks for my goodness, and allow your praises to come forth from your mouth. Go throughout the earth with the high praises of God, acknowledging my existence and my faithfulness. Crown me Lord of your life by submitting to my lordship in your life.

141. If I am your Lord, then why do I not always receive the acknowledgment of my position in your life?

RE: PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING - December 13, 2006

Resurrection power transcends every foe and is higher than any influence, jurisdiction, and authority in this world and the world to come. Life's triumph over death was the victory that God had planned all along. Elijah and Elisha's mantle was so alive with anointing that the bones of Elisha set aflame with life the body of a slain soldier that was casually cast upon them. If this was just a casual occurrence, then it is with purpose we jump into the deep waters of the floods of the power of his resurrection in the midst of all our difficulties. Angels will and have always been the agents of the miraculous for God's people. We speak the word and they carry it to its fulfillment. Angels are massed for an avalanche of the supernatural just as they massed into a choir on creation's morning and sang together. Grace has called us from the pits of our despair to thrones of delight. We will see the greatest glory of grace in the fulfillment of God healing and delivering those who have been ravaged by sin in this hour.

Jesus' name is not only the revelatory light of the mysteries of deity, but it will display the destiny of God's descendants. We were not destined to fail but to conquer every enemy that would attack the truth of God's Word. Just as Elisha received a double portion of the miraculous ministry, we have been given a double portion of the treasure of the Rhema Word. Angels ran before the prophets and ministered to them when they were weary. We will run and not be weary. God will strengthen us with might by his Spirit in our inner man. As we speak God's Word, it will break forth as a flood upon the parched fields of this last day. Harvest will be instant and abundant. Angels will help us pull in the nets and divide the harvest.

I give thanks to you O Lord that there are dimensions of ecstasy and joy that transcend ordinary joy folded in the dimensions of resurrection power. There is no power or any circumstance that can divert the mighty rivers of the power of your resurrection in my life. I praise you for your promise and provisions of grace that will abundantly bear fruit in the presence of the power of the resurrection just as Aaron's rod did bud. I am living in the time of the harvest of the end time. Thank you Lord that every promise will be fulfilled and the sweeping tide of the resurrection is at high tide right now. Your word will not fail, but it will be fulfilled in its season. By grace, I lift up my eyes from the pits of this world. You have not selected a pit for my abode. I rejoice that you have called me into your presence to abide with you before the throne of grace. An enemy has sown the seed of doubt in my midst. I will not cultivate this seed of distrust in you. You are faithful. You have promised, and you will perform. You have sent forth the mercies of David, and these mercies are sure. Thank you, for you have called me unto grace, not disgrace; therefore, I lift up my eyes unto the harvest. By that same grace, I labor for this meat in the field of grace. There in the harvest field, I will find the glory of the last days. I am grateful that you continually send forth more power that I might experience the glory of your promises. You have called me unto sufferings; therefore, I do not glory in the things that the enemy desires to hear, but I glory in the cross of redemption. You shall show me the power of the suffering of the cross. You have caused me to allow this expression that you might be glorified. I lift my eyes again to the power of the cross and behold the power of your glorious gospel. I will not be ashamed of this gospel, for it is the power unto salvation. You know that I believe the gospel. Now I live in its power. This gospel and its power are the same yesterday, today, and forever.

I am not ashamed of your name or you. I will go and proclaim the power of your glorious name. It has hidden me from the things that have attacked my body. It has hidden me from the debts that have leaped from the shadows of doubt and unbelief. I will not give credibility to the wave of unbelief that has filled the land, but I give praise unto the name that has already been glorified. I lift my eyes and behold the blessings that are already in the barn of faith. I give thanks and I praise you, for you have called me blessed. Now nothing, no one, no spirit, no principality, no dominion, no person, and no adversary can call me cursed. You lift up one, and you bring down another. I will be content in the place that you have set me. You have set me as a pillar in the church. I will go forth in the power of the resurrection that carries me. The power of the resurrection is carrying me during this time of weariness; therefore, I will not be weary in well doing. I am reaping more than I realize. I will carry the harvest to the barn of fulfillment. When it is harvested by the angels that minister, then will I see what I have reaped. I appreciate the angels that you sent to assist me all the while. I behold their presence in my life in a manner that I have not seen. Lord, I thank you for you are touching my eyes to behold the realness of angelic help in this time of spiritual wickedness against me and your body. I behold the power of the ministry of angels on my behalf. I will go and preach the gospel. I rejoice and I am glad that your word is already in my tongue and the expression of the resurrection waits to deliver the people. I prepare for a wave of deliverance on behalf of your name.
