Have I ever forsaken you?

Will I ever forsake you?

My word is gone out of my mouth. My word is true, and I am true to my word. I am true to those who believe. My judgment does not slumber. My justification is not slack and insufficient. Come away from condemnation. I have not led you there. I have led you to justification by faith, which is in me. You have looked at your failures and predetermined judgment. I have looked at the sacrifice of the Lamb of God and predetermined justification. I have justified you. Now who will condemn you?

Who will lay any charge to my elect?

I justified you, and only I can condemn you. Turn your ears from these voices in the air, and listen to the voice of the faithful witness within you. Love is speaking to you. The love that was demonstrated at Calvary speaks on your behalf. You may perceive the love of God through the action of the cross where I laid my life down for you. The laying down of this precious life for you is an actuality that cannot be dismissed by the voices of the princes of this world. I have loved you with an everlasting love. I have redeemed you by precious, innocent, and holy blood. Now receive the confidence contained in these words, and be restored to true faith again. Have faith in me.

(RHEMA: Justification Is Not Slack or Insufficient)

God has never forsaken me. He will never forsake me. His word is gone out of his mouth. His word is true, and he is true to his word. He is true to those who believe. His judgment does not slumber. His justification is not slack and insufficient. I come away from condemnation. He has not led me there. He has led me to justification by faith, which is in Jesus. I have looked at my failures and predetermined judgment. God has looked at the sacrifice of the Lamb of God and predetermined justification. Christ has justified me. Now no one will condemn me. No one will lay any charge to God's elect. He justified me, and only he can condemn me. I turn my ears from these voices in the air and listen to the voice of the faithful witness within me. Love is speaking to me. The love that was demonstrated at Calvary speaks on my behalf today. I perceive the love of God through the action of the cross where Christ laid his life down for me. The laying down of this precious life for me is an actuality that cannot be dismissed by the voices of the princes of this world. He has loved me with an everlasting love. He has redeemed me by precious, innocent, and holy blood. I now receive the confidence contained in these words, and I am restored to true faith again. I have faith in God.

Rescued by the Gardener of Love from the Stallion of Corruption

(Part 4)

I have not left you alone in the valley of confusion where there seems to be no solace of rest. I am here in this valley with you. The ambushment of evil shall not succeed, and the well planned schemes of spiritual death shall not prosper. Though you walk into the presence of evil and defeat, you are not walking alone. Be confident of love, and know that I have not chosen this day as a day of sorrow and defeat. My plans are already finished. I have sent forth caution into your heart. Yield to the new found caution that has gripped your heart in the presence of my word. Be assured that an ambushment is set for your enemies. The slayer of my people shall not destroy those abiding in the love of God.

Recommit yourselves to love, and do not die as a fool on the eve of the rapture of my body. The blood of the foolish shall flow from their mouths in this age of violence and rebellion, but the blood of the wise shall be changed in a moment and in the twinkling of an eye. Do not listen to the pleading voices in your ears now. They will plead through the same carnal nature that seduced others to climb onto the nature of corruption. As the serpent beguiled Eve as she listened to the voice of evil, you will be beguiled if you listen any longer. Listen to the voice of love, and come to the house of rest and peace. You will not figure out the secrets of the darkness and the secrets of the nature of the flesh. Send it to my cross and mortify its deeds then will you find my peace, which passes the secrets of the darkness and the captivity of its hands. Love has come with its hands and offered you true freedom. Accept the offer of love, and be released from your fears.

RE: RHEMA - Rescued by the Gardener of Love from the Stallion of Corruption - Part 4

God is not the author of confusion. It comes from within us or from an alien source. Confusion arises when we are filled with multiple choices. Our eye should be single, and we will not be filled with the shadows of confusion. Voices and purveyors of evil reports will echo loudly in the ears that are lifted to hear them. Our ears are tuned to the report of the Lord. Revelation will take its fresh promises and destroy the stale rumors of the past and present. We have not been placed in the bondage of the thoughts of fear. He has given us the spirit of power and love. Love will lead us, keep us, and motivate us until he comes. Corruption cannot win in the heart that is our Beloved's and his alone.

CORRUPTION, THE FLESH, AND SEDUCING SPIRITS

(Part 4)

The Lord has not left me alone in the valley of confusion where there seems to be no solace of rest. He is here in this valley with me. The ambushment of evil shall not succeed, and the well planned schemes of spiritual death shall not prosper. Though I walk into the presence of evil and defeat, I am not walking alone. I will be confident of love and know that God has not chosen this day as a day of sorrow and defeat. His plans are already finished. He has sent forth caution into my heart. I yield to the new found caution that has gripped my heart in the presence of his word. I am assured that an ambushment is set for my enemies and the slayer of God’s people shall not destroy those abiding in the love of God. I recommit myself to love, and I will not die as a fool on the eve of the rapture of Christ’s body. The blood of the foolish shall flow from their mouths in this age of violence and rebellion, but the blood of the wise shall be changed in a moment and in the twinkling of an eye. I will not listen to the pleading voices in my ears. They will plead through the same carnal nature that seduced others to climb onto the nature of corruption. As the serpent beguiled Eve as she listened to the voice of evil, I will be beguiled if I listen any longer; therefore, I listen to the voice of love, and I come to the house of rest and peace. I cannot figure out the secrets of the darkness and the secrets of the nature of the flesh. I will send these things to Jesus’ cross and mortify their deeds. Now I will find the peace of God, which passes the secrets of the darkness and the captivity of its hands.

INSPIRATION

By Don Grigsby

RE: RHEMA - We Have Received Abundance of Grace and the Gift of Righteousness; Therefore, Let Us Go On, For Judgment and Vengeance Belongs To God

Whoever insisted that God's nature was an angry, vindictive judgment knows nothing of the nature of the God that we serve. After the flood, God was grieved in his heart and said, "I will never destroy all flesh this way again." Some appoint themselves as God's judges. They have stepped into an arena that is off limits to all flesh. God's greatest testimony of his people is that we have love one for another. How can love be demonstrated when we are condemning everybody else?

Truth will set us free to do the will of God and freely love the ways that endear him to all humanity.

All of us stand in sin and guilt unless God intervenes for us. No one can lift up their own goodness before God and begin to hope that it would count for anything before him. Condemnation is not the dressing room mirror of the saints. Reconciliation is the therapy program that strengthens us all. We are never handed the stones, arrows, and swords of judgment and urged to attack anyone. Revelation is the language that we speak. God never addressed us as his sinners but always as his children. Arrogance and pride exalt people to judgment seats that will ultimately become their stumbling stone. How can we reject what God has accepted with the price he paid on the cross?

Vengeance belongs to God. If we try to take it unto ourselves, we are the thieves of his property. behalf.

The end of the glory that the devil puts on display is hell.

477. Are you prepared to go there?

Then shun the very appearance of evil, and you will escape it. I prepared hell for the devil and his angels. Men choose to go there. Choose this day where you will spend eternity. The web of the devil has no escapes. The designer knows that death is his lot. The only alternative to his design of death is the cross. By the cross, I placed an opening for all to escape unto life eternally. You have taken the path to life.

478. Why turn and go back to death?
