Yield unto the Spirit of the Lord, and Go Preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ

I have not forgotten you on the day that I have made. Do not worry about the outcome of the services. I have already finished them, and you cannot change them. Simply go and preach what I have already placed in your heart. I have finished the message already. I have saved those who shall be saved already. I have sent forth the fire of love and brought out those who were bound by fetters of iron and brass. Look to me, the Author and the Finisher of this faith that you preach, and stop fretting because of your insufficiencies. I am your sufficiency. I am your refuge. I am the Word being preached. Go and preach me. Do not hesitate to obey me. Move into the arena of your gift. There is inspiration available that you have never heard. Do not fear to trust me. Simply walk in the spirit, and you will not fulfill the lust of your flesh to doubt the move of my Spirit. I have something to do that cannot be accomplished by a sermon. Do not go forth to sermonize, but go forth to be a yielded vessel for my Spirit. I will show you things that you have not known. Go and have confidence in me, the Lord God. Go.

DOUBT, UNBELIEF, AND WORRY

Jesus has not forgotten me on the day that he has made. I will not worry about the outcome of the services. He has already finished them, and I cannot change them. I will simply go and preach what he has already placed in my heart. God has finished the message already. He has saved those who shall be saved already. The Lord has sent forth the fire of love and brought out those who were bound by fetters of iron and brass. I look to him, the Author and the Finisher of this faith that I preach, and I cease fretting because of my insufficiencies. Jesus is my sufficiency. He is my refuge. He is the Word being preached. I will go and preach Jesus. I will not hesitate to obey him. I will move into the arena of my gift. There is inspiration available that I have never heard. I do not fear to trust him. I will simply walk in the spirit, and I will not fulfill the lust of my flesh to doubt the move of God’s Spirit. He has something to do that cannot be accomplished by a sermon. I will not go forth to sermonize, but I will go forth to be a yielded vessel for his Spirit. He will show me things that I have not known. I will go and have confidence in him, the Lord God.

RE: RHEMA - Yield unto the Spirit of the Lord, and Go Preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ

It is said in the word that God remembered his covenant with Abraham. We are Abraham's children by faith. God has not forgotten us. His thoughts toward us are more than can be numbered. God has developed gifts within each of us, but they are about to expand and multiply into the greatest dimensions that have ever been seen or experienced. Let us not be weary or discouraged, even if it seems that some do not hear or that they regard us lightly. God regards his Word with the weightiest consideration. As we allow the Lord to minister through us, our pulpit and platform will become the hospital room, the supermarket, the jail, and the living rooms of broken homes. The greatest miracles are yet to be seen.

Look again and behold the message of Phillip. Look again and behold the messages preached by Peter. Go and study the Word of God again, and I will reveal to you the foundation of true revival preaching. There is no message without preaching the Christ, who is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Lift your eyes unto me, and seek a renewed relationship with me. From this renewed relationship, I am going to build a new ministry in you. Only believe.

RE: RHEMA - Choose the God That You Will Serve

In the last days, men will be lovers of themselves, or put another way, they will be utterly self-centered. We are not our own, for we have been bought with a price of the precious blood of the lamb. We have been created new in the image of him who was the image of selflessness. Humanism has made it popular for man to be his own god. We cannot allow anyone to sit on the throne of our hearts except the King of Kings, Jesus Christ. We will just wallow in our own soup of failure that some try to compose as success if we fail to empty our throne of self. Selfishness is the root of all sin. We have been called from a system of falling stars to allow the Bright and Morning Star to arise in our hearts. A star will create its own gravity as our sun does. If he is in us, we will gravitate toward him and not the things of this world. The gospel of grace will break the back of the resistance of the enemy. It is not only the power of God to them that are bound. It is the trumpet of liberty that liberates those who declare it. If the gospel is the power of God, it also pulls us through the open door of the throne room where the King with nail prints is seated. We will acquiesce all of our will and submit to the One who sits on the only throne that matters.

(Continued)

My people are journeying toward a chasm, which is a deep void where there is no relationship with me, the heavenly Father. I have said, “Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.” Another time I said, “And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him. And he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed in all their sins.”

131. Am I the same God who gave these instructions, yet have given you instructions to go to the tents of wickedness for your pleasures?

The spirit of deception has captured you if you think this is right. You are going your own way and not my way. I am not double-minded. I do not contradict myself.

132. Will you receive of the plagues of the last days and not receive the judgments for these plagues?

RE: PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING - December 9, 2006

Abraham's seed in the spirit is the star seed. We cannot number the stars. God's thoughts to us are more than we can enumerate. His thoughts for us are not of failure, but he plans for us to succeed and to flourish in his kingdom. Some may attack our motives and everything we say, but God has placed the work in our heart and the words in our mouth. We disregard the false accusations of the scoffers, and we ride on the chariots of faith through the battle fields of struggle. We are not discouraged by the struggle, but we know that the battle is the Lord's. God has positioned us to minister to the hurting and the wounded. Our anointing is not from man but from above. We have been placed in the front line of this life as an example of the excellence of God. He has begun a good work in us and will not stop until he finishes the work. His Word has already gone forth. God has spoken the end from the beginning. Grace has been placed in abundant supply in every tomorrow that I will walk though. Our hopes are not diminished but enhanced by every experience that we have walked though with him who holds our hands so tenderly.
