Dancing Now in the Invisible Rain of Blessings in the Future

This day is another day that I made for you to rejoice and be glad. I desire that you behold my beauty and know of my faithfulness in your body. I dwell in earthen vessels. Behold the treasure that you have in your temple. Rejoice in the temple made without hands, and behold the beauty of God Almighty. Abraham rejoiced to see my day. He was glad and rejoiced. Why did he rejoice?

Why are you sad?

Will you allow circumstances to affect your response to my day?

This is the day that I have made. Rejoice in the making of another day. Though the day was here before you arrived, yet did I, the Eternal God, make it. Lift your eyes from the futility of regret and difficult circumstances. I have lifted the clouds from your head and brought you showers of blessings. Dance in the rain of blessings. Unless you behold the invisible rain of blessings of the future, you will tabernacle the memories of the past. Go to the tabernacle of memories, and behold my goodness to you in the past. Remember the benefits of your salvation. Remember the graciousness of my Spirit. Remember the protection given you in the times of trouble. Remember the security offered every moment. Remember the goodness of your God at all times, and allow your praises to be continually in your mouth. When you have tabernacled the innumerable benefits of the past, then time will be no more. Must you finish counting before you worship because of who I am?

Must you finish counting before you behold the invisibility of faithfulness to provide the rain of blessings being poured out in the spirit?

Open your eyes to the consistency of my nature. Behold the faithfulness of my love. I am the same as I was yesterday; therefore, know of a truth that my faithfulness today and in the future shall bring you the same rewards that mercy can easily afford. Rejoice. I made this day for you to rejoice in it. Rejoice and bring me a sacrifice of praise. Pour out your feelings, your worries, your unbelief, your anger, and all your wasted efforts into the tank of sacrificial praise. When you have poured out all that you have into the tank of praise, then will you behold the fuel of faith supply you with the power to arrive in the door of my faithfulness. Arise and worship, for I desire to make you glad.

ANGER, CIRCUMSTANCES, FEELINGS, TRIBULATION, UNBELIEF, WASTED EFFORTS, AND WORRIES

This day is another day that God has made for me to rejoice and be glad. He desires that I behold his beauty and know of his faithfulness in my body. God dwells in earthen vessels. I behold the treasure that I have in my temple. I rejoice in the temple made without hands and behold the beauty of God Almighty. Abraham rejoiced to see the Lord’s day. He was glad and rejoiced. He rejoiced because he loved the Lord. I have been sad because I am letting my circumstances affect me. I will cease allowing my circumstances to affect my response to the Lord ’s Day. This is the day that he has made. I rejoice in the making of another day. Though the day was here before I arrived, yet did Jesus, the Eternal God, make it. I lift my eyes from the futility of regret and difficult circumstances. God has lifted the clouds from my head and brought me showers of blessings. I dance in the rain of blessings. Unless I behold the invisible rain of blessings of the future, I will tabernacle the memories of the past. I will go to the tabernacle of memories and behold the Lord’s goodness to me in the past. I remember the benefits of my salvation. I remember the graciousness of his Spirit. I remember the protection given me in the times of trouble. I remember the security offered every moment. I remember the goodness of my God at all times and allow my praises to be continually in my mouth. When I have tabernacled the innumerable benefits of the past, then time will be no more. I do not have to finish counting before I worship because of who Jesus is. I do not have to finish counting before I behold the invisibility of faithfulness to provide the rain of blessings being poured out in the spirit. I open my eyes to the consistency of God’s nature. I behold the faithfulness of his love. He is the same as he was yesterday; therefore, I know of a truth that his faithfulness today and in the future shall bring me the same rewards that mercy can easily afford. I rejoice. Jesus made this day for me to rejoice in it. I rejoice and bring him a sacrifice of praise. I pour out my feelings, my worries, my unbelief, my anger, and all my wasted efforts into the tank of sacrificial praise. When I have poured out all that I have into the tank of praise, then I will behold the fuel of faith supply me with the power to arrive in the door of his faithfulness. I arise and worship, for the Lord desires to make me glad.

RE: RHEMA - Dancing Now in the Invisible Rain of Blessings in the Future

God's love for us is a passionate, leaping, and dancing love. As we dance face to face with the creator, we have his song in our hearts and his voice in our ear as the rest of the world sings its songs of defeat and failure. Past failures and defeats are not the songs or melodies that we are moved by. As the prophet considered the prospect of no crops in the field and no herds in the stall, he stated that the Lord would make his feet like hinds’ feet and place them on his high places. In the Hebrew, this means that in spite of the circumstances, God would set our feet on our dancing places and not in a posture of defeat. We are loaded daily with his benefits and blessings. If David danced as the ark of the Lord returned to Jerusalem, then we who are filled with that Shekinah of glory by the Holy Ghost should be dancing twice as much. The God who turns our mourning into dancing will put off the garments of pain and sorrow and replace them with the garments of praise. We have not been drenched with the showers of sorrow, but we have been filled with the excitement of his triumph; therefore, it is time to dance.

Many have sought 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, but 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 vanity. Look to me, and I will show you the glory of redemption and the glory of this relationship.

RE: RHEMA - The Glistening Atmosphere of God's Body

John the Baptist was said to be a burning, clear light to his generation. We hold forth the word of life in a crooked and perverse generation among whom we shine as a brilliant light. With streets that are transparent like transparent glass in heaven and a crystal like sea before the throne, we must mirror the clear image of the image of deity seated on the throne. Shadows and clouds of uncertainty are not in the artist's materials for the portrait of this hour. Darkness would like to pull the shades of oblivion over the light of the glory of God that is shining in our hearts and our confession. Our confession of faith is one of the few clear sounds and revelations that cast its sound and light across the land. As we exalt and praise the One who called us out of darkness into marvelous light, we will give off the glittering spectrums of light that detail the gem stones that he is making us into for his crown. We are his body and members in particular, and we dwell in the light that he is in that no human understanding can come close to understanding. We have been set before the world as a priceless treasure.

(Continued)

Hide yourself in the rock of revelation, and do not come out of this truth. Principalities and powers of the air cannot retract the freedom that is in the truth. Your freedom is not measured by outside forces, neither is it negotiated by governors and rulers of the kingdom of darkness. I am the Lord, and I rule over all. You are bought with a price, the precious blood of Christ. Worship in the sanctuary of the truth. Mercy has made its statement. Its voice and actions have declared the worthlessness of dead works.

164. What good work will you point to as a reason for deliverance from the cold hands of death's grip?

The cross, the cross, the cross…take up the true cross.

165. Is your cross the true cross that I desire you to take up?

RE: PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING - December 23, 2006

Our great Shin (Hebrew letter for the ever burning and fiery energy and love of God) is written like lighting on the doors of our lives as it is written on the scrolls of orthodox Jewish homes. We are living epistles of the spirit, so each letter is blazing in the words and the music of our minds and hearts. Shin is alive in the fiery manifestations of the El Shaddai as he keeps impossible promises to Abraham. Shin is alive in the Shekinah of glory that dwelt over every holy place and event of the Old Testament. Out of the fiery Shin of the Shekinah came the scrolls of mercy and grace that would be the real highway for our King to travel into our hearts. Shin was alive in the fire that fell on Carmel and the fires of Sinai and of Ezekiel's whirlwind. On the day of Pentecost, it came like a hurricane of fire on those who look for it. Every letter and the smallest piece of the letter is dancing and singing in our hearts and is alive with faith that will never let us down. Our journey is not marred by the stumbling stones of our past but is paved with promises of power that will take us into his presence forever. My present is not my past recycled. My present and future are the portrait of power that is created by living words and letters of fiery power in our lives.

I thank you Lord that your love for me is a passionate, leaping, and dancing love. As I dance face to face with you, the creator, and the rest of the world sings its songs of defeat and failure, I am thankful that I have your song in my heart and your voice in my ear. Because of your mercy, past failures and defeats are not the songs or melodies that move me. I am so thankful that I am loaded daily with your benefits and blessings. If King David danced as the ark returned to Jerusalem, then I who am filled with your Shekinah glory should be dancing twice as much. I am thankful that you are the God who turns my mourning into dancing, and you will put off my garments of pain and sorrow and replace them with the garments of praise. I have not been drenched with the showers of sorrow, but I have been filled with the excitement of your triumph; therefore, it is time to dance. This day is another day that you have made for me to rejoice and be glad. You desire that I behold your beauty and know of your faithfulness in my body. I am thankful that you dwell in earthen vessels. I behold the treasure that I have in my temple. I rejoice in the temple made without hands. You are God Almighty, and I behold your beauty. Abraham rejoiced to see your day. He was glad and rejoiced. He rejoiced because he loved you. By your grace, I will cease allowing my circumstances to affect my response to your day.

I am thankful that this is the day that you have made. I rejoice in the making of another day. You have made this day. I lift my eyes from the futility of regret and difficult circumstances. You have lifted the clouds from my head and brought me showers of blessings. I dance in the rain of blessings. Unless I behold the invisible rain of the blessings of the future, I will tabernacle the memories of the past. By your grace, I will go to the tabernacle of my memories and behold your goodness of the past. I remember the benefits of my salvation, and I am thankful. I remember the graciousness of your Spirit, and my soul is glad. I remember the protection given to me in the times of trouble and having my mind comforted. I remember the security offered every moment, and I am secure now. I remember your goodness at all times, and I allow my praises to be continually in my mouth. When I have tabernacled the innumerable benefits of the past, then time will be no more. I am thankful that I do not have to finish counting your benefits before I worship you because of who you are. I am glad that I do not have to finish counting before I behold the invisibility of faithfulness to provide the rain of blessings being poured out in the spirit. I open my eyes to the consistency of your nature. I am thankful for the faithfulness of your love. You are the same as you were yesterday; therefore, I know of a truth that your faithfulness today and in the future shall bring me the same rewards that mercy can easily afford. I am thankful and I rejoice. You have made this day for me to rejoice in it. I rejoice and bring you a sacrifice of praise. I pour out my feelings, my worries, my unbelief, my anger, and all my wasted efforts into the tank of sacrificial praise. I am thankful that when I have poured out all that I have into the tank of praise, then I will behold the fuel of faith supplied to me with the power to arrive in the door of your faithfulness. I arise and worship, for you desire to make me glad!
