Hear the voice of the Lord, and hearken unto my commandments then shall your peace be like a river and your righteousness as the waves of the sea. Many souls could have already been won if you had placed me first instead of your religious acts. Seize the power of my words in your ears and allow me to teach you. You have been detoured long enough. Now cease your alterations of my will for your life. My will must be done in your life. Your will in your life is a departure from the faith. It is a costly divergence that has held up love and grace in your life and the lives of others. The righteousness of the law is not fulfilled in those who walk after the flesh. It is only fulfilled in those who walk after the Spirit. Your departure from prayer was to mind the things of the flesh. Do not deflect into the paths of death. To be carnally minded, is not life and peace. To be carnally minded, turns you unto the law of sin and death. This is a deviation from true faith. You cannot please me if you walk in paths that branch away from obedience to the Spirit. The master of diversions uses good religious deeds as bridges to his by-pass of disobedience. These alternate routes appear to be good but are weak bridges that lead to bondage. The back road of disobedience to me is never the road to true service. You can serve a god, yet think that you are serving me. You are known of me, so why turn again to the weak and beggarly elements of the hour?

I hear the voice of the Lord and hearken unto his commandments. Now shall my peace be like a river and my righteousness as the waves of the sea. Many souls could have already been won if I had placed him first instead of my religious acts. I determine to seize the power of his words in my ears and allow him to teach me. I have been detoured long enough. Now I cease my alterations of his will for my life. His will must be done in my life. My will in my life is a departure from the faith. It is a costly divergence that has held up love and grace in my life and the lives of others. The righteousness of the law is not fulfilled in those who walk after the flesh. It is only fulfilled in those who walk after the Spirit. My departure from prayer was to mind the things of the flesh. I purpose not to deflect into the paths of death. To be carnally minded, is not life and peace. To be carnally minded, turns me unto the law of sin and death. This is a deviation from true faith. I cannot please the Lord if I walk in paths that branch away from obedience to the Spirit. The master of diversions uses good religious deeds as bridges to his by-pass of disobedience. These alternate routes appear to be good but are weak bridges that lead to bondage. The back road of disobedience to him is never the road to true service. I can serve a god, yet think that I am serving God. I am known of him, so I will not turn again to the weak and beggarly elements of the hour.

Love Guarantees a Fulfillment of God's Promises To Us

I have not left you at the feet of an idol to pray to a god that cannot hear, see, or talk. I have drawn you before my throne of grace and granted you access into my presence by sanctified blood. You are not your own, neither should you desire to be. Your life was wasted and damned, but today you have a new life in me. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad. I have redeemed you and brought you out of bondage. Now you abide in marvelous light. Be thankful.

Look upon the field, and see the multitudes that are waiting on the gospel. Judge not whether there is readiness in them. Simply go, and sow the word. Preach the gospel, and trust in me and my word. I am laboring with you; therefore, plant and water. I will give the increase. Weary not yourself with how the work will be accomplished. Go and be assured that you are blessed. I have placed a kingdom within you; therefore, look not here and there for my presence. With my presence, love has come to you. Love shall guarantee a fulfillment of my promises to you. The hypocrites will not hinder my work. My work is an effectual work that cannot be hindered or aborted. You are my workmanship, and I will take care of you. Be not tempted to worry. Keep showing me your faith, and I will show you great and mighty things that you do not know.

Go forth to serve and to minister to the people, not to be ministered to. The works of the spirit do not demand service from others, but the works of the spirit are aimed at pleasing others and glorifying God. Allow me to continue the work in you that your eyes be free of specks and beams. I have brought you to this place in life to manifest the grace of God to the hungry and the thirsty. Now allow my love to shine that my glory might be seen. I have shown you the simplicity of prayer. I have demonstrated it in the spirit and allowed you to become sensitive to my voice. Now go, and teach others to pray. Not everyone will understand. Not everyone will learn, but be not discouraged. I know those who are mine, and I will take care of you in the times of rejection. All men will not receive you, but doubt not because of the rejecters of truth. I have chosen this as a medium of understanding also. Rise up, and follow me in the way of truth and holiness.

RE: RHEMA - Love Guarantees a Fulfillment of God's Promises To Us

Love never fails. It is the catalyst that causes every monumental action in the kingdom of God to arrive at its proper conclusion. It will never cease to be our supply and provision. Conflicts that arise will be erased by the great sweeping air brush of love and its all covering coatings of grace. As we are involved in a relationship with the lover of our soul, the oceans of his provision will flow down into our lives. Our openness and hunger for him will uncover the beaches that the waves of his greatness will wash up on the shores of our soul. We have been given exceeding, great and precious promises from the treasures of his love. The thief will not be able to steal that which the Great Shepherd stands in the door of the sheepfold to protect. Fear may post its notices of terror, but the tender Shepherd will tear them all to pieces and replace them with fresh announcements of his promises.

 

HYPOCRISY

God has not left me at the feet of an idol to pray to a god that cannot hear, see, or talk. He has drawn me before his throne of grace and granted me access into his presence by sanctified blood. I am not my own, neither should I desire to be. My life was wasted and damned, but today I have a new life in him. I rejoice and am exceedingly glad. God has redeemed me and brought me out of bondage. Now I abide in marvelous light; therefore, I am thankful.

I look upon the field, and I see the multitudes that are waiting on the gospel. I do not judge whether there is readiness in them. I simply go and sow the word. I will preach the gospel and trust in Jesus and his word. He is laboring with me; therefore, I plant and water. He will give the increase. I purpose not to weary myself with how the work will be accomplished. I will go and be assured that I am blessed. God has placed a kingdom within me; therefore, I do not look here and there for his presence. With his presence, love has come to me. Love shall guarantee a fulfillment of his promises to me. The hypocrites will not hinder his work. The Lord's work is an effectual work that cannot be hindered or aborted. I am his workmanship, and he will take care of me. I will not be tempted to worry. I will keep showing him my faith, and he will show me great and mighty things that I do not know.

I go forth to serve and to minister to the people, not to be ministered to.

God has chosen this as a medium of understanding also. I rise up and follow him in the way of truth and holiness.

 

RHEMA

By Don Grigsby

 

RE: RHEMA - Prepare For the Coming of the Lord

I have been preaching for weeks now under the emphasis of the soon return of the Lord. I have had a real anguish in my spirit because so many take it so lightly. This message came forth in a recent service.

Do not think you can play with the world and not be found on the outside pounding on the door to get in, but it will be too late. Your flesh throws parties that you should never be apart of, but you are the life of its party. Your Lord will suddenly come, and you will be appointed a portion with the hypocrites. You are consumed with your own desires when you should be consumed with a desire for more of God. Become enamored with me, or you will be found in the arms of another lover when I come for my bride.

We must, at all costs, not be flippant or trivial about the coming of the Lord.

 

 

(Continued)

I reign and none can bring me down. Be assured of the power of God that is with you.

110. Has my power ceased to work?

111. Will it work for you?

112. Am I for you or against you?

113. Why do you doubt the miraculous during this time of uncertainty?

114. Am I reduced to the stature of a man by the present uncertainties?

 

Remember that I knew that you would fail. My blood has not failed in your time of need. The blood is ever present for your cleansing. Lift up your head as a gate, and be as an everlasting door. I will come in and bless the fruit of your hands. I have not given you these blessings to halt them inside of a house. I will not allow the enemy to confine them in a box. These things are a blessing designed for others also. I have made you a steward over these things. You have kept them and arranged them. Now behold the work that I will do for my own name's sake. The night shall not come before I have fulfilled that which I have already planned. An enemy cannot hinder my fulfillment of these inevitable things. I have offered my only begotten son for you.

115. Now how much more will I give you all things that I have destined to give you?
