My grace has caused you to know the truth. By grace, are you saved and not of yourself. It is the gift of God, not of works. If it were of works, then a space for boasting would be given. This great salvation is not by works of righteousness that you have done, but according to my mercy, I saved you. You were foolish, disobedient, deceived, and a slave to manifold lusts and pleasures. My kindness and love appeared unto you and saved you according to my mercy by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost. The truth became alive unto you, and your mind was freed from the clutches of the darkness. The truth loosed you from the custody of the darkness. It is a mighty vehicle of translation that liberated you from bondage. You know the truth, and it has made you free. The truth does not become unstable, neither does it remove itself from its borders of stability. The truth is not portable. It remains fixed; therefore, it is reliable and dependable. The strongest lie cannot bend the truth. The truth is not twisted because men change words and actions. The truth does not deviate when symbols and deeds build their walls of contradiction.

God's grace has caused me to know the truth. By grace, I am saved and not of myself. It is the gift of God, not of works. If it were of works, then a space for boasting would be given. This great salvation is not by works of righteousness that I have done, but according to the mercy of God, he saved me. I was foolish, disobedient, deceived, and a slave to manifold lusts and pleasures. The Lord's kindness and love appeared unto me and saved me according to his mercy by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost. The truth became alive unto me, and my mind was freed from the clutches of the darkness. The truth loosed me from the custody of the darkness. It is a mighty vehicle of translation that liberated me from bondage. I know the truth, and it has made me free.

A New Creation by the Lord's Words of Light Upon the Face of Unpleasant Circumstances

 

The night is coming and then no one will be able to work; therefore, work while it is day then will the fruit of your labor be profitable and satisfying. The laborers are few, but the harvest is ripe and ready for those who love the purpose of God and the church. Lift your head from yourselves, and come into the presence of the Lord God. In my presence, you will find the fullness of the joy that will grant you strength to go beyond yourselves. You are without strength many times because you have exhausted your energies on yourselves. Pour your energies into the kingdom of God and then will you find yourselves renewed day by day. The kingdom of God and my righteousness empowers with sufficiency and strength. It does not leave you exhausted and listless. Come from your corners of self-satisfying efforts, and enter into the wide-open spaces of gratifying efforts of the giving of yourselves. Look to my example, and behold the attitude of a servant. I did not come to be served. I came to minister. I am in you to do a work that you will not believe. Look up from your plates of emptiness, and behold the table of living bread before you on the other side of emptiness. I did not bring you to this table of emptiness. An enemy seduced you and brought you to his table to defile you with the leaven of hypocrisy. Refuse to sit at the table of worthlessness. Refuse to be honored by the god of the world. Refuse to be comfortable eating the things that do not satisfy. I have a table of living bread and living water waiting on you. Come and eat of the life that satisfies. I have placed life before you; therefore, choose the life that I have offered, and refuse the death plates of hypocrisy.

Your faith is complete because of my righteousness. Only believe the gospel and the works of the Lamb of God. The Lamb was slain for you. The Lamb's blood has made a way out of the pit of darkness by the blood of the covenant. Lift your eyes to my promises today, and walk into tomorrow with new strength and new life. I have not left you to die at the feet of your enemies, neither have I brought you to the threshold of revival to turn you unto the death chambers of idolatry. I have brought you inside of the door of hope. Now behold the destruction of the adversaries that met you at the door. Behold their defeat before your eyes.

Behold the light of the glorious gospel as it shines on your behalf and for my name's sake. Behold the goodness of the Lord God that has led you to repentance. Attach your heart to my goodness, and it will cause you to store your treasures above and not below in the world of cankerworms and moths of destruction. Give your heart to me again, and I will show you of the beauty of holiness that you once knew. Give me your heart again, and I will cleanse you of the filth of carnality. Give me your heart again and then will love flow from me through you and to others that await the love of God in you.

Hear these admonitions today, and give way to their light. These words have come to make a way in the darkness that has covered your life with worry, unbelief, and poor spiritual vision. Allow these words to enter into your heart and your mind and then will the light of these words produce a new creation for your future. The entrance of my words always gives light. The entrance of these words of light has spoken upon the face of the darkness that has troubled you. Now behold the new things that the light has made for you. Only believe.

RE: RHEMA - A New Creation by the Lord's Words of Light Upon the Face of Unpleasant Circumstances

God's creative voice will demand that the darkness pull back its curtains reveal light. God will turn the destruction before us inside out and show us a brand new world. Nothing is not in God's vocabulary. Our cups of emptiness will be flattened by the weight of the provision that will turn it into platters of plenty. Obstructions and road blocks will become high speed access to spiritual destinations. Defeat and disgrace are the implements of the dust of the earth. God speaks and the dust becomes just like him. God will turn every word and weapon that is thrown at us and redefine the meaning of its structure. There is only one letter difference between the words least and beast. The least shall become the greatest and the beasts shall lie down because he will bless us with all the letters and words that he is. He only changed one letter of Abraham's name in the Hebrew. He added his own letter name of Yah which will was a h sound. When God insets his words and pronouncements into our lives we become different people and the circumstances become blessed instead of bitter. The gospel is not old but every day it speaks good news to new hearers. As we speak his words we will see the circumstances that seem to be unpleasant become the pleasant land of our abiding.

 

ADVERSARIES, HYPOCRISY, AND SEDUCTION

The night is coming and then no one will be able to work; therefore, I choose to work while it is day then will the fruit of my labor be profitable and satisfying. The laborers are few, but the harvest is ripe and ready for those who love the purpose of God and the church. I lift my head from myself and come into the presence of the Lord God. In his presence, I will find the fullness of the joy that will grant me strength to go beyond myself. I am without strength many times because I have exhausted my energies on myself.

It does not leave me exhausted and listless. I come from my corner of self-satisfying efforts and enter into the wide-open spaces of gratifying efforts of the giving of myself. I look to God's example and behold the attitude of a servant. Jesus did not come to be served. He came to minister. He is in me to do a work that I will not believe. I look up from my plate of emptiness, and I behold the table of living bread before me on the other side of emptiness. God did not bring me to this table of emptiness. An enemy seduced me and brought me to his table to defile me with the leaven of hypocrisy. I refuse to sit at the table of worthlessness. I refuse to be honored by the god of the world.

RHEMA

RE: RHEMA - Dance In the Invisible Rain of Blessings of the Future

We have only to remember that the prophet described him as the God who hides himself. Habakkuk 3:4 describes the hiding of his power. The latest 2 Micron All Sky Survey shows by the invisible infrared a fantastic view of 1.5 million galaxies that most are hidden by dust. One of the latest X-ray images by the X-ray Chandra probe shows us the brilliant colors of oxygen burning in the darkness that is mirrored in visible light. It just lets us know that even when things look dark, that God is in the curtains about to burst forth with tremendous demonstrations of his power. In Job 38: 9, the darkness as a swaddlingband, indicates that God stands just beyond our sight with a brand new creation wrapped in a baby blanket for us!

God spoke to us recently and said,

I can take all the things that you see and turn them into all the things that do not exist because I am the existence of the unseen. Yet, I have already seen all the things you do not think exist marching triumphantly on parade through the door of your nothing. Your problem is the parable of your prevailing. Fear has drawn you sketches of what it says is coming, and you have started a picture gallery in your mind. My presence is the hallway out of your mind and brings you into my courts of miraculous supply. My Spirit has hidden behind sunsets, ridden on the edges of storms, hovered above the dust of battle, and is just inside tent doors. Just remember that the trouble that you are so alarmed about is just putting up the tent for the arrival of your victory celebration.

 

Paul loved with such a consuming love that he wished that he were accursed from Christ for his brethren, his kinsmen according to the flesh. He knew that Christ was God blessed forever. You will not love like Paul until you know me as Paul knew me. He had a relationship with me that soared high above his confidence in the flesh. He counted the things that were gain to him loss for Christ. He wanted to know me, the power of my resurrection, and the fellowship of my sufferings. He wanted to attain unto the resurrection of the dead.

171. How will you pass from death to life if you do not love your brethren with a fervent love?

 

The cold love of the hour will not carry you across the bridge that goes from death to life. You must be baptized with the fire of love. Only by the fire of love is the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus illuminated and desired. Only the consuming fire of my love can destroy the confidence that you have in the flesh. Give me your confidence that you have in the flesh, and I will grant you a baptism of love. Only then will you know me the way that I desire you to know me.

172. When you meet the hatred of this world, what will you do if you have not journeyed across life's bridge?

 

You know that you have passed from death unto life because you love the brethren. If you do not love your brother, you abide in death. Love will compel you to lay down your life for the brethren. You perceive the love of God because Christ laid down his life for you.

173. How will you lay down your life for your brethren when you have this world's good and see your brethren have need and shut up your bowels of compassion from them?

174. Where is the love of God in you?

 

You must love in deed and in truth, not in tongue and word. Seek a baptism of love and that love will work faith unto total victory and the miraculous. I desire you to experience miracles as though they were as common as the exploits of humanity.

175. Do you desire to possess love that is more prevalent than the human exploits of this world's icons?
