The Fashioning of Grace Creates a Satisfied Vessel of Peace and Power

I have not allowed an enemy to siphon the grace that I gave you. Though iniquities have abounded and sins have been committed, my steadfast grace has accomplished its purpose in your lives and brought you to this point of victorious faith. Do not leave the throne of grace for another position or station in life. There is no other place that you can journey to and find the riches possessed in me. I am the treasure that men and women seek, yet they continue to search for the empty things in life. They are constantly destroyed because of their lack of knowledge. Go and proclaim Christ, the wisdom of God and the power of God. I am the riches of life. There are no other riches that last forever except me, the treasure of the ages. Many have sought for what you have found; therefore, rejoice in this relationship, for it is valued above everything in heaven and in earth. The systems of the world shall now know that I am God. I am more than a man, more than a prophet, more than a lamb. I am the Everlasting Father and the Prince of Peace. Man's peace shall not come in the form of things, but man's peace came as a lamb and was offered as a sacrifice. Unless my offering for sins is accepted and believed according to the scriptures, then a man's religion is vain.

Look to me, and I will show you the glory of redemption and the glory of this relationship. I have not brought life to your ears and to your doors only to have you come and find death and defeat. I have brought you the glorious victory of my cross and granted you the fruit of my sufferings. My sufferings were not in vain. All that I suffered was for you, and now the fruit of my sufferings is for your tasting. Taste of the victory of my bruises. Taste of the victory of my wounds. Taste the fruit of my stripes. Taste of the fruit of Gethsemane. Taste of the fruit of my submission to death. I have not sent forth an empty experience into your life, but what I have sent forth is the total victory of life over death; health over sickness; prosperity over poverty; peace over confusion; liberty over bondage; a sound mind over troubled minds; and righteousness over unrighteousness.

I am a holy God. There is no defeat in me. I have all power, and there is no counsel against me. Lift your eyes to me, and give me your heart. I have all power. I created man and made woman from the man's rib. Has my creative power diminished when I am the Lord who does not change?

Has my constructive power withered as a flower in its state of withering?

I am the Lord, and I do not change. Trust me, and I will show you my glory. Trust me, and I will show you that you have not believed in an idol. You have believed in the only Lord God. I am Jesus who called Paul of the early church. I have called you. Allow the fashioning of my grace to complete its work, and then will you be pleased with the result that I have planned by my mind. You cannot add one inch to your stature. Then why struggle to become what you are going to be?

Allow me to continue my molding process of your life, and then you will be a vessel that I am pleased to dwell within. I have a word for the people. Allow me to give them what has been sent from eternal wisdom and understanding and not from your own plans, then will you behold the victory planned for today. Only believe.

DOUBT, INIQUITIES, IGNORANCE, LACK OF KNOWLEDGE, AND UNBELIEF

The Lord has not allowed an enemy to siphon the grace that he gave me. Though iniquities have abounded and sins have been committed, his steadfast grace has accomplished its purpose in my life and brought me to this point of victorious faith. I will not leave the throne of grace for another position or station in life. There is no other place that I can journey to and find the riches possessed in Christ. Jesus is the treasure that men and women seek, yet they continue to search for the empty things in life. They are constantly destroyed because of their lack of knowledge. I will go and proclaim Christ, the wisdom of God and the power of God. He is the riches of life. There are no other riches that last forever except Christ, the treasure of the ages. Many have sought for what I have found; therefore, I rejoice in this relationship, for it is valued above everything in heaven and in earth.

RE: RHEMA - The Fashioning of Grace Creates a Satisfied Vessel of Peace and Power

An enemy is not in control of the viaducts of the waters of grace that flow down into our lives. Even if sin and iniquity abound, the grace of God will so abound that the flood of iniquity will be like shallow run offs compared to what God can and will do in our lives. When Paul had questions about a messenger of Satan, God explained that his grace was sufficient. When we are weak and in the battle, that is when the Lord is strongest. Grace will take the adversity, trials, and suffering of our lives and create a mosaic of beautiful proportions from them. We seldom welcome trials or suffering, but grace will gently lead us through them and fashion in us the peace of God that passes knowledge. Grace is the master architect of the universe. When the economy of elements available afforded nothing, then grace made everything out of nothing. Grace is not bothered by our inabilities or shortcomings. It is rich in its abundant supply. He will abundantly satisfy our mouth with good things. We do not have to go shopping for the elements of grace in the religious halls of men. It is available always at the throne that we have always run to. Grace has our lives on the drawing board of eternal wisdom and understanding. God has not designed a failure but a graceful success.

I know your shortcomings. I know your failures. I know where you are. I know your destiny. Now come to the throne of grace, and behold the victory that is in my right hand. The same right hand that brought out Israel is the same right hand that has brought you out. Now lift your eyes from these pits and the threats of your enemies. These things have no power over you. You are redeemed by precious blood. Lift your eyes again to my blood and its power, then offer fervent praises because of faith. Faith is a weapon that I have freely given every man. Shall faith fail in the presence of the threats of voices from the darkness?

RE: RHEMA - Recover Your First Love

In a screaming world, we don't need a whisper of his power. We need the thunder of his power. In a world where the love of many has waxed cold, we need to demonstrate our passionate love for Jesus Christ. We are told that we can’t leave or lose our first love. God will never leave us or not show up. It is our sins that separate us from him. He reconciles and redeems, and we are prone to retreat. Our fervency of spirit must include our running after him and holding him. We must not be caught up in the trivializing of the things of God. The spirit of Jacob that caused him to desire the things of God brought God to him, even in his escape from his brother. Even when we suffer for righteousness sake, we should count it all joy that he has chosen us to be partakers of his suffering. Our joy should not be reduced or watered down by what does or does not happen to us. We will rejoice in the Lord at all times. A friend loveth at all times. We are more than friends. We are his beloved. Our love transcends the petty pressures of this hour. It seems that when people used to get married they just stayed with it. They were committed to marriage for the long haul. Now people quit at the drop of a hat. Our commitment to him is a covenant of endless love. Being lukewarm must vanish before the fervent love of believers in this time of shallow commitments.

I am still the healer.

153. What is wrong?

I am the Lord of lords, the God of gods, the Bright and the Morning Star, and the Wheel in the middle of a wheel. I am the prosperity-bringer and the peace-bringer. Rise up in the power of my name and cast out all these hindering things.

154. If believers who do not know the truth or preach the truth have signs in their midst, shouldn’t you have signs in your midst?

RE: PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING - December 18, 2006

Every facet of love and providence is consummated in the concentrated essence of grace. Unlimited power and love became a microcosm of the immense macrocosm that they were and will always be. A miraculous moment in a manger was the answer all at once to every question that ever was or will be asked. Templates of grace were placed in the structural dynamic of redemption that would energize the universe in the liberty of the spirit. When we add up all of our abilities and subtract all our failures and inabilities from that, it would be a number like a bottomless pit. However, if we add multiplied grace into the equation, we will always have an ever- increasing positive result to behold on the ledger sheet of life. His perfect love has cast out the favorite weapon of the enemy. Satan loves to torment and intimidate. Love dismantled every weapon of fear at the cross. Creative power is leaping and dancing in the rivers of living words and prophecy that are flowing in the earth. We are singing a new song of triumph and excitement that fills the auditorium of time. We are singing the song of grace and forgiveness that reached down for us and lifted us above the reach of the horrors of hell.

I thank you that you have not allowed the enemy to be in control of the viaducts of the waters of grace that flow down into my life. Even if sin and iniquity abound, your grace so abounds that the flood of iniquity will be like shallow run offs compared to what you can and will do in my life. I thank you that your grace is sufficient. I am thankful that in the battle when I am weak that is when you are the strongest. I give thanks today because your grace has taken the adversity, the trials, and the suffering of my life and created a mosaic of beautiful proportions from them. Although I seldom welcome trials or suffering, your grace will gently lead me through them and fashion in me your peace that passes knowledge. Your grace is the master architect of the universe. When the economy of the elements available afforded nothing, then your grace made everything out of nothing. Lord, I am grateful that your grace is not bothered by my inabilities or shortcomings. It is rich in its abundant supply. I give you thanks today, for you have abundantly satisfied my mouth with good things.

I am thankful because I do not have to go shopping for the elements of grace in the religious halls of men. Your grace is available always at your throne to which I have always run. Your grace has my life on the drawing board of eternal wisdom and understanding. You have not designed a failure but a graceful success. I am thankful that you have not allowed an enemy to siphon the grace that you gave me. Though iniquities have abounded and sins have been committed, your steadfast grace has accomplished its purpose in my life and brought me to this point of victorious faith. By your grace, I will not leave the throne of grace for another position or station in life. Lord, I know that there is no other place that I can journey to and find the riches possessed in you. By your grace, I will go and proclaim you, the Christ, the wisdom of God, and the power of God. You are the riches of life. There are no other riches that last forever except you, the treasure of the ages. Many have sought for what I have found; therefore, I am thankful and I rejoice in this relationship, for I value it above everything in heaven and in earth.

The systems of the world shall now know that you are God. You are more than a man, more than a prophet, more than a lamb. You are the Everlasting Father and the Prince of Peace. I am thankful that you are my peace. I thank you that you did not come in the form of things, but you came as the Lamb and were offered as a sacrifice. Lord, I accept your offering for my sins. I am thankful that I believe according to the word and that my religion will not be in vain. I look to you, O Lord, for you will show me the glory of redemption and the glory of this relationship. You have not brought life to my ears and to my doors only to have me come and find death and defeat. You have brought me the glorious victory of your cross and granted me the fruit of your sufferings. Your sufferings were not in vain. All that you suffered was for me, and now the fruit of your sufferings is for my tasting. I taste of the victory of your bruises. I taste of the victory of your wounds. I taste the fruit of your stripes. I taste of the fruit of Gethsemane. I taste of the fruit of your submission to death. I give you thanks, for you have not sent forth an empty experience into my life, but what you have sent forth is the total victory of life over death; health over sickness; prosperity over poverty; peace over confusion; liberty over bondage; a sound mind over a troubled mind; and righteousness over unrighteousness. You are a holy God. There is no defeat in you. You have all power, and there is no counsel against you. I lift my eyes to you and give you my heart. You have all power. You created man and made woman from the man's rib. Your creative power has not diminished, for you are the Lord who does not change. Your constructive power has not withered as a flower in its state of withering.

I am so thankful that you are the Lord and you do not change. I trust you, and I am thankful that you have shown me your glory. I rejoice that I can trust you, for you have shown me that I have not believed in an idol, but I have believed in you, the only Lord God. You have called me. I allow the fashioning of your grace to complete its work in me. When your grace has completed its work, I know I will be pleased with the result that you have planned by your mind. I cannot add one inch to my stature. Because of your grace, I will not struggle to become what I am going to be. Lord, I allow you to continue your molding process of my life, and then I will be a vessel that you are pleased to dwell within. You have a word for the people. I thank you that you have given what has been sent from eternal wisdom and understanding and not from my own plans, and now I will behold the victory planned for today!
