The Activity of Love and the Hand of Righteousness Against An Intimidating Giant

The gift and the calling of the Lord God are without repentance. I have not gifted you and revoked the gift. I have not called you and sent you back to the darkness. I have planned a complete work in you. Do not look at the fallen oaks in the ditches of religion and attempt to determine my plan for your life. I have not dealt with you according to the principles of traditions and assumptions of men. The world does not know me; therefore, do not look to the world to determine my will for your life. I have granted you a relationship with me. Though you have fallen short and missed the mark of righteousness, I have not cast you aside into the ditches of condemnation. I have already written victory in your life. Live out the victory that is alive in you by love. Love has given birth to victory in you. Love has sent forth an understanding of the complex problems that you must deal with. Love has embraced wisdom and brought it forth for this very hour. I have not left you without counsel; therefore, lift up your head to the answers in you through the mind of Christ. Do not be intimidated because of the size of this present problem. I am bigger than all of your problems. The voice of intimidation has sent fear into the world. Do not listen to his big voice. He has no authority over you. I have drawn a giant near your presence to be slain. I am raising up giant killers for these last days. Do not fear the giant in your presence, but be confident of his defeat by the hand of my righteousness. I have already destined his defeat and shame in your face. He shall behold the words of your mouth and be silenced by the power of the life that is in the words. Be confident of this victory, for I have ordained it and commanded it. Lift up your voice in thanksgiving and be freed from the doubts and fears in the realm all about you. I have sent forth quietness into your presence. Abide in the quiet realm granted by my grace and love.

AN INTIMIDATING GIANT

The gift and the calling of the Lord God are without repentance. He has not gifted me and revoked the gift. He has not called me and sent me back to the darkness. He has planned a complete work in me. I will not look at the fallen oaks in the ditches of religion and attempt to determine God’s plan for my life.

RE: RHEMA - The Activity of Love and the Hand of Righteousness Against An Intimidating Giant

In the last days, they that know their God will be strong and do exploits. We have not only been made strong in faith but also in love. Faith works by love. Love slew sin and death at the cross. In this hour, mountains and giants are removed and destroyed by the working of love. Jesus has put every enemy under his feet. Every impossible situation will be turned to victory by the power of love. Love does not have an ax to grind but much grace to give. Giants will become like the putty of a wall that the Almighty will paint a masterpiece of victory upon. We may fail and come short, but love has already measured the giant for defeat. God will not reverse his promise of overcoming every foe to us. We are not running to hide in the alleys of fear and condemnation. We are running toward the giant with the sling of truth and the eternal rock of love in our possession. All that the giant saw was his staff. He asked if he was coming to beat him like a dog with a stick. David had love's power overflowing inside that shepherd’s bag. We will lift up our voice on the field of battle and declare the goodness of the Lord. God will silence the giant with his answer in our mouth.

I have come for the first fruit of your life. The fellowship that I offer you is part of the covenant. In the flesh of the man Christ Jesus, I offered a holy sacrifice that you could be reconciled unto me. You heard the voice of the ministry say, "Be reconciled unto God." Now that you are reconciled, allow your reasonable services to be rendered unto me early, and I will show you a new dimension of fellowship and communion.

RE: RHEMA - The Dismantling of Strong Complexities That Are Held Together by Self-will

Pride will build the gallows of our own destruction. Self-will turns into our biggest idol if we allow it to run its course. Our weapons will demolish every force or fortress that wars against us. As we humble ourselves and rest in his choices in our lives, we will see the Lord take us through many scenarios that do not fit reason or logic. His simplicity is profound. In his profundity is the position of power that awaits those who rest in his promise. As we submit ourselves to his will, life will be less complex, and the road will stretch out before us to certain victory.

(Continued)

John bore witness that I came unto my own, and they did not receive me. As many as received me, to them I gave power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on my name which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

175. What do you believe about that?

176. Do you believe that I am the Father of the Son of God?

John bore witness that I am the Word. He bore witness that the Word was God and that the Word was made flesh. I am the Word and I am God. These two are the same.

177. What do you believe about that?
