The Washing of the Living Word after the Storm of Ignorance, Lust, and Pride

The light of the glorious gospel has shined into your heart. The grace of the Lord has sent forth a revelation of my glory in this hour of spiritual enlightenment. I have enlightened your eyes and your mind. The day of redemption will not find you asleep, but the day of redemption of the body shall find you looking for my appearance. I have sent forth more grace that you are not found possessing cold love for me. I have forewarned you of the subtle acts of the spirit of lust and pride. Lust and pride have been sent forth in a magnitude never seen nor experienced. Beware of covetousness. Beware of lust. Beware of pride. Know of a truth that the whole world lies in wickedness. Lust is the doorway of sin. It is written in my word that sin entered in through lust. All that is in the world is the lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh, and the pride of life. Do not be a friend to lust and pride. Friendship with lust and pride has cost multitudes their eyes and their minds. Look to the grace that is so freely given you and rejoice in self-denial and holiness. The world cannot know me in the light of the word. I am hidden from the world just as I am hidden from many who dwell in me. Look to me for a revelation of me, who is also invisible, immortal, and unapproachable. You must see me who is invisible. Unless you have seen me who is invisible, then there are heights to desire in your spiritual growth. Look to my word again, and behold the many appearances of Moses' great glorious God.

I have not sent you away empty although you have neglected the fellowship of the Spirit. I have not dealt with you after your sins. I have stretched forth more love in your time of little love for me. Return unto the fellowship offered you, and I will return unto you in a magnitude of revelation that you have not known. Be thankful and rejoice in your tribulations instead of responding with coldness and indifference. I have allowed the purifying fire of trial to come that you might endure unto the end. Do not think these things strange which are to try you. No strange thing has happened; therefore, rejoice in as much as you are partakers of my sufferings. My glory shall be revealed, and you will be glad with exceeding, great joy. If you refuse the grace to rejoice, then how will gladness be found at the end of the trial?

Come from your tables of pride and covetousness and sit with me at the tables of fresh bread and water. I have a refreshing for you in this hour that shall wash away all the debris of the storm of ignorance. There are continual storms of ignorance being poured out by lust and pride. Receive the grace that is being multiplied unto you in this hour, and you will not walk through this life in the filthy garments of misunderstanding and spiritual poverty. I have sent forth fresh waters of the washing of regeneration and a renewing of the Holy Ghost. Be washed again with these fresh waters of cleansing. These waters are sent forth for times like these. Many have refused the washing of the word. Many do not have the Living Word for washing and cleansing. Will you remain ungrateful and lose the washing of water by the Living Word?

Many are attempting to receive this washing with the filthy waters of death, for they have gone to the fountains of the letter and not the fountains of the spirit. Heed this admonition and know that love speaks to you. I have sent forth a renewal of the Living Word in you. Now embrace this experience again, and behold people and things all around you come alive. The living words in you shall produce life. Now go and proclaim the life that is in you.

COLD LOVE, COLDNESS, COVETOUSNESS, INDIFFERENCE, LUST, PRIDE, AND WICKEDNESS

The light of the glorious gospel has shined into my heart. The grace of the Lord has sent forth a revelation of his glory in this hour of spiritual enlightenment. He has enlightened my eyes and my mind. The day of redemption will not find me asleep, but the day of redemption of the body shall find me looking for his appearance. The Lord has sent forth more grace that I would not be found possessing cold love for him. He has forewarned me of the subtle acts of the spirit of lust and pride. Lust and pride have been sent forth in a magnitude never seen nor experienced. I will beware of covetousness. I will beware of lust. I will beware of pride. I know of a truth that the whole world lies in wickedness. Lust is the doorway of sin. It is written in God’s word that sin entered in through lust. All that is in the world is the lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh, and the pride of life. I will not be a friend to lust and pride. Friendship with lust and pride has cost multitudes their eyes and their minds. I look to the grace that is so freely given me and rejoice in self-denial and holiness. The world cannot know Jesus in the light of the word. He is hidden from the world just as he is hidden from many who dwell in Christ. I look to Jesus for a revelation of himself who is also invisible, immortal, and unapproachable. I must see him, who is invisible. Unless I have seen him who is invisible, there are heights to desire in my spiritual growth. I look to God’s word again and behold the many appearances of Moses' great glorious God.

RE: RHEMA - The Washing of the Living Word after the Storm of Ignorance, Lust, and Pride

Our power and deliverance is written in pools of blood that are larger than ink on paper. Jesus Christ wrote his love for us in pain and agony that cannot be measured in words. When we are caught away with him in the spirit, we are overwhelmed by the floods of love that we feel. This is because Calvary opened fountains of grace and love that is beyond the shallow ignorance and understanding that is little in the hallways of the flesh. It would be the ultimate insult to take the heart and mind that has been washed in the precious blood of Jesus and sully it with the putrefying garbage of lust and the filthy thinking of this world. We are bought with a price. How can we be the servants of this lurid system?

Into the chambers of the unlimited dimensions of love, we walk into the embrace of the most sacred presence of the universe. Everything sacred and hallowed has been disgraced by the trivial treatment of the ignorance of desire-based knowledge in this life. Our fervent desire is to have him whom our soul loveth to embrace us at the table of fresh revelation. His precious and fresh word will remove the cobwebs and the filthy touch of every unclean thing from our hearts and minds. No wonder the psalmist asked to be washed thoroughly with hyssop. God's personal words for us will cleanse the interference from our conscience and bond us to him with everlasting love.

Come to the belief of Abraham, and offer a good profession in the face of these things. The territory that I have sent you unto is no different than any other place. I am the God that shall save those people from their sins and bring them out of bondage. Is anything too hard for me, the Living God?

Then minister unto me, and you shall behold the power of my deliverance that I have wrought on behalf of my own name. My name is a mighty weapon in your bosom. Speak my name, and behold the things that back away from your presence. Lift your voice in the sanctuary. Lift your voice in the streets. Do not be silent in this hour of harlotry. Show forth the faith within you. The enemy desires you to falter and doubt in this hour of opportunity. Arise to the occasion before you, and speak words of faith in this due season. Do not be weary in well doing. You will reap if you do not faint. Why faint when you have faith?

RE: RHEMA - The Compass of Faith in a Spiritual Storm

As often as we hear it said that he will never leave us or forsake us, we treat his words as those of a man. God is not a man that he should lie. If he said it, he will perform it. He is the gravity, ballast, and compass of our ship. When it seems we have lost our direction, he speaks to us as dear children, and we can see the path through the waves and wind. He will take us through the floods, and they will not overflow us. Our joy is not circumstantial. The joy of the Lord is everlasting, and it will cause sadness and disappointment to flee. If we feel the full frontal assault of the storms of life, we can be sure that he will direct us and give us clear direction as he did for Paul. Frustration will cause many to fling their confidence into the wind after a few days. We are set to hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering. He that wavereth is like the waves of the sea that are tossed and driven. He will bring us into our desired haven. He will make the storm to calm and the waves to be still. Our faith in him is a beacon of light that is a door to the harbor of victory. We need to let the light shine and the bell of victory ring, for we have found peaceful waters in him.

There is no veil on you. I have invited you into this place where mighty weapons are presented to you. These weapons are greater than any laser weapons. Use these weapons and notice that all the lies and distortions of the enemy are exposed by the weapons of your warfare. I am greatly magnified through the use of these weapons. Things in nature are only a shadow of the real things that I am doing. Nature teaches you; however, the rivers in nature cannot adequately describe the full scope of my spiritual power. Do not regard the counterfeit images of unbelief that have confronted you. Their phony presentation of fear is only a sham. Their presentations are fictitious before the infinite power of my divine supply. I am living my life out through you. I am the greater.

155. Shall the lesser win against the greater?

I am the life. I manifested myself to you to bring you life and that more abundantly. Do not buy the lie concerning my unwillingness to give you wealth. I have laid up the wealth of the sinner for the just.

156. Why would I lay it up for you if I did not want you to have it?

RE: PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING - December 19, 2006

There is an evident contrast before us in the seventh dispensation of the kingdom. It is characterized by the harvest of the oceans filling the nets of the kingdom until the angels will separate them during the harvest. In the days of Noah, the floods destroyed all living creatures except those in the ark. Now the ark of atonement and grace has been emptied out like a flood, and the grace and love that is riding each wave is the power of deliverance and of healing for the sin sick soul. Lust and pride will try to sink the ship of salvation. Our Captain can even turn one board into a safe canoe for us to reach the shores of safety as he did for Paul. Jesus will guide and guard us around the rocks of deception and self-centeredness and bring us into our desired haven. Three hours of darkness at the cross tells the whole theme of the fellowship of his suffering. From the sixth hour to the ninth hour, it was a heavy darkness that Jesus hung in for us. Six is the number of man and his inability. Nine is the number of the spirit and the supernatural. Jesus bridges the impossible gulf between the inability of man and supernatural ability. That is transferred to us out of his suffering into any dark hour of suffering that we may be in. His living and faithful words are our personal shower from the grime of the dust clouds of doubt. He will wash our eyes and help us to behold the maximal definition that he wants for us and not the minimal one our ability comes up with.

Lord, I am thankful that my power and deliverance is written in pools of blood that are larger than ink on paper. You wrote your love for me in pain and agony that cannot be measured. I am overwhelmed by the flood of love that I feel when I am caught away with you in the spirit. I am thankful to you because Calvary opened fountains of grace and love to me that are beyond my shallow ignorance and understanding. I am so thankful that you washed my heart and mind in your precious blood, and I don't want to insult you by sullying it with the putrefying garbage of lust and the filthy thinking of this world. Thank you for buying me with the price of your blood. Thank you for allowing me to walk in the most sacred presence of the universe. Help me not to disgrace your sacred and hallowed place. My fervent desire is to have you, whom my soul loveth, embrace me at the table of fresh revelation. Your precious and fresh word will remove the cobwebs and the filthy touch of every unclean thing from my heart and mind. Now I understand why the psalmist asked to be washed thoroughly with hyssop. Your personal words to me will cleanse the interference from my conscience and bond me to you with everlasting love.

Thank you for the light of the glorious gospel that has shined into my heart. Your grace has sent forth a revelation of your glory in this hour of spiritual enlightenment. You have enlightened my eyes and my mind. I believe that the day of redemption will not find me asleep, but the day of redemption of the body shall find me looking for your appearance. You O Lord have sent forth more grace that I would not be found possessing cold love for you. You have forewarned me of the subtle acts of the spirit of lust and pride. Lust and pride have been sent forth in a magnitude never seen nor experienced. By your grace, I will beware of covetousness, lust, and, pride. Lust is the doorway of sin. Your word has declared that sin entered in through lust. I know that all that is in the world is the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life. I will not be a friend to lust and pride, or it will cost me my eyes and my mind. I look to the grace that you have so freely given me and rejoice in self-denial and holiness.

The world cannot know you in the light of your word. I look to you who is invisible, immortal, and approachable. I thank you for not hiding yourself from me as you have hidden from the world and from many who dwell in you. Thank you for not sending me away empty, although I have neglected the fellowship of your Spirit. I thank you for not dealing with me after my sins. I am grateful that you have stretched forth more love in my time of little love for you. I return unto the fellowship offered me, and you will return unto me in a magnitude of revelation that I have not known. I am thankful and I rejoice in my tribulations instead of responding with coldness and indifference. You have allowed the purifying fire of trial to come that I might endure unto the end. I will not think these things strange, which are to try me. No strange thing has happened; therefore, I rejoice in as much as I am a partaker of your sufferings. Your glory shall be revealed, and I will be glad with exceeding great joy. I know that if I refuse the grace to rejoice, then gladness will not be found at the end of the trial.

I come from my tables of pride and covetousness and sit with you at the tables of fresh bread and water. Thank you for refreshing for me in this hour that shall wash away all the debris of the storm of ignorance. There are continual storms of ignorance being poured out by lust and pride. I receive the grace that is being multiplied unto me in this hour, and I will not walk through this life in the filthy garments of misunderstanding and spiritual poverty. Lord, I am so thankful that you have sent forth fresh waters of the washing of regeneration and a renewing of the Holy Ghost. I am washed again with these fresh waters of cleansing. These waters are sent forth for times like these. I know that many times I have refused the washing of the word. I am thankful to have the Living Word for washing and cleansing. By grace, I will not remain ungrateful and lose the washing of water by the Living Word. Thank you Lord for not allowing me to receive this washing with the filthy waters of death. Now I can go to the fountains of the spirit and not the fountains of the letter. I heed your admonition and know that your love speaks to me. I am thankful that you have sent forth a renewal of the Living Word in me. Now I embrace this experience again and behold people and things all around me come alive. I am very grateful that the living words in me shall produce life. I am thankful now that I can go and proclaim the life that is in me.
