I stand at the right hand of the poor to save them from those that condemn their soul. You have sought me in truth. I will give you understanding that you may keep my commandments. I have turned away reproach and granted you victory in the face of darkness and cruel judgment. In this trial, you have bought gold tried in the fire that you may be rich and clothed with white raiment. The shame of your nakedness shall not appear, and your eyes are anointed with eye salve so that you may see. Stand fast in the faith, and believe with all your heart that your old man is crucified with me, and the body of sin is destroyed so that you do not serve sin. You are dead with me because of baptism and freed from sin. You are crucified with Christ, but you live. It is not you that is living, but Christ is living in you. Christ is living his life out in you; therefore, you may walk in his steps, for grace has abounded on your behalf. Do not frustrate this mighty grace. I have given you righteousness because of faith. Righteousness has set you in the way of my steps and exalted you out of the snare of self-righteousness.

The Lord stands at the right hand of the poor to save them from those that condemn their soul. I have sought God in truth. He will give me understanding that I may keep his commandments. He has turned away reproach and granted me victory in the face of darkness and cruel judgment. In this trial, I have bought gold tried in the fire that I may be rich and clothed with white raiment. The shame of my nakedness shall not appear. My eyes are anointed with eye salve so that I may see. I stand fast in the faith.

The Fashioning of Grace Creates a Satisfied Vessel of Peace and Power

 

I have not allowed an enemy to siphon the grace that I gave you. Though iniquities have abounded and sins have been committed, my steadfast grace has accomplished its purpose in your lives and brought you to this point of victorious faith. Leave not the throne of grace for another position or station in life. There is no other place that you can journey to and find the riches possessed in me. I am the treasure that men and women seek, yet they continue to search for the empty things in life. They are constantly destroyed because of their lack of knowledge. Go and proclaim Christ, the wisdom of God and the power of God. I am the riches of life. There are no other riches that last forever, except me, the treasure of the ages.

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, and more than a lamb. I am the Everlasting Father and the Prince of peace. Man's peace shall not come in the form of things. 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. I have not brought life to your ears and to your doors only to have you come and find death and defeat. I have brought you the glorious victory of my cross and granted you the fruit of my sufferings. My sufferings were not in vain. All that I suffered was for you, and now the fruit of my sufferings are for your tasting. Taste of the victory of my bruises. Taste of the victory of my wounds. Taste the fruit of my stripes today. Taste of the fruit of Gethsemane. Taste of the fruit of my submission to death.

I have not sent forth an empty experience into your life, but what I have sent forth is the total victory of life over death, health over sickness, prosperity over poverty, peace over confusion, liberty over bondage, a sound mind over troubled minds, and righteousness over unrighteousness. I am a holy God. There is no defeat in me. I have all power, and there is no counsel against me. Lift your eyes to me, and give me your heart today. I have all power. I created man and made woman from the man's rib. Has my creative power diminished when I am the Lord who does not change?

Has my constructive power withered as a flower in its state of withering?

I am the Lord, and I change not. Trust me, and I will show you my glory. Trust me, and I will show you that you have not believed in an idol, but you have believed in the only Lord God. I am Jesus who called Paul of the early church. Now I have called you. Allow the fashioning of my grace to complete its work and then will you be pleased with the result that I have planned by my mind. You cannot add one inch to your stature. Then why struggle to become what you are going to be?

Allow me to continue my molding process of your life and then you will be a vessel that I am pleased to dwell within. I have a word for the people. Allow me to give them what has been sent from eternal wisdom and understanding and not from your own plans then will you behold the victory planned for today. Only believe.

RE: RHEMA - The Fashioning of Grace Creates a Satisfied Vessel of Peace and Power

Hands of destruction reached for us, but the hands of grace covered us. Defeat drew designs of defeat in secret chambers, but grace shouted its plans from the house top of safety that we resided on. Grace has begun a good work in us, and God will not allow the attacks of the forces of the enemy to destroy what he has created in us. Vessels of power that pour out peace are rare treasures in the hands of the potter. Novice hands of apprentice level workers are not allowed to touch the unique vessels fashioned for the special demonstration of grace. God has filled the vessels of power by the supply of grace with the wealth of body and soul. On every hand there is a constant flow of blessing that sends vapors of peace into every room of our dwelling. God will not cast aside the casting of creation that his hands have formed. Even when he pushes down on the clay of our vessel, it will only cause the vessel to rise higher and create more volume to contain what he desires to pour out of our lives. Grace has not closed down the center of artistry that does one of a kind piece. We shall behold greater dimensions of larger capacity than we have ever seen before. More than a drink of water, grace will supply an entire spiritual ecosystem with living water! Our world and the culture that is vapid of the words of power and peace will have reservoirs of its flow available through the yielded vessels of this hour.

 

DEFEAT

God has not allowed an enemy to siphon the grace that he gave me. Though iniquities have abounded and sins have been committed, his steadfast grace has accomplished its purpose in my life and brought me to this point of victorious faith. I purpose not to leave the throne of grace for another position or station in life. There is no other place that I can journey to and find the riches possessed in God. He is the treasure that men and women seek, yet they continue to search for the empty things in life. They are constantly destroyed because of their lack of knowledge. I will go and proclaim Christ, the wisdom of God and the power of God. He is the riches of life. There are no other riches that last forever, except him, the treasure of the ages. Many have sought what I have found; therefore, I rejoice in this relationship, for it is valued above everything in heaven and in earth. The systems of the world shall now know that he is God. He is more than a man, more than a prophet, and more than a lamb. Jesus is the Everlasting Father and the Prince of peace.

Man's peace shall not come in the form of things. Man's peace came as a lamb and was offered as a sacrifice.

INSPIRATION

By Don Grigsby

 

RE: RHEMA - The Grapes of Wrath Trodden by Jesus Has Resulted In Us Having Access To the Wine of the Last Days

Joel tells us that the mountains will flow down with the new wine of the kingdom in the last days. Jesus suffered often from the foundation of the world but at the cross made the perfect offering for sin. Our judgment seat is the cross where we can be viewed in the light of his expiatory offering for us. Propitiation stands on top of the mercy seat and says, "Grace has prepared a feast for all who will come to partake of." Our eternal gratitude flows out of our hearts that we do not have to stand before a judgment seat without mercy. However, there are those who will forsake their own mercy. They will hearken to the wrong voice and follow their own pride into a court where they have no advocate. Our righteousness is of no value in any court, but the righteousness of his appropriation comes through the obedience of faith to him. As we do his will, we mirror the inward working of the soul that is fleeing the wine of the lust of this world and running after our Beloved.

 

 

(Continued)

If only one is saved today, the value of that one cannot be weighed in silver and gold.

370. What is the value of a soul?

371. What does it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?

372. Can a man be profitable unto me, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself?

373. Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that you are righteous?

374. Or is it gain to you that you make you ways perfect?

375. For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world and lost his own soul?

376. Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

377. What is a man advantaged if he gains the entire world, its fame and riches and lose himself or become a cast away?
