Your God brought you to the kingdom. You could not come of yourself,
for none can come unto me unless my Spirit draws them. As I sought true
worshippers, I found you and called you to come. My grace reached out
and drew you nigh by the precious blood of Christ. Peace became yours,
and you entered into this glorious kingdom by faith. The power of the
resurrection translated you out of darkness and brought you into marvelous
light. You were translated into the everlasting kingdom of the Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ. I have brought you into a kingdom of priests.
On the wings of the resurrection, I brought you unto myself and made
you a peculiar treasure unto me. You are called. Now give diligence
to make your calling and election sure. None can withstand the kingdom
of the Lord. Man's kingdom is weak. I rule in the kingdom of men and
give it to whomsoever I will. Envy not those who rule now. I will set
up the basest of men over their kingdoms. Regard your relationship with
me precious. Concentrate on knowing me and then will you be in agreement
with me and not against me. I will scatter all those that do not gather
with me. As many as are led by my Spirit, they are the sons of God.
I am pouring out my Spirit on all flesh, and sons and daughters are
prophesying. How can you be with me if you despise prophecy?

Muscles
of Patience Are Built During the Time You Spend Waiting On Answers To
Prayers
I have desired to give you all things that you have asked for. Allow
not your faith to waver. Be not double minded. You will receive the
things that you have asked for. Do not settle for the limitations of
the past. Allow me to set your limitations, and you will find out that
there are none. I can do all things. With men, things are impossible,
but with me, all things are possible. I have come that you might have
life and that more abundantly. The abundant life has not eluded you.
It is on my right hand with pleasures forevermore. I am not hiding it
behind my back. Look on my right hand, and come to it. Reach and seize
what you want. I have given all things unto you. You are not trapped.
The way is made; therefore, do not stand and hesitate any longer. The
barriers set before you cannot prevent you from going to the victory
promised. I have promised that I would see you through the obstacles
and bring you to a great victory. You have allowed the time you have
waited on answers to your prayers to discourage you. I have remembered
you. Your father and mother may forget, but I will not forget you. Do
not allow time spent developing the muscles of patience to make you
sing the blues or to mourn with the mourners. Rejoice in the victory
that you are expecting. You cannot prevent the shadows from coming into
your life, but be not controlled by these shadows. I am the same in
the shadows as I am in the time when there are no shadows. I am faithful.
I will be on time.

RHEMA - Muscles of Patience Are Built During the Time You Spend Waiting
On Answers To Prayers
Our God will never hold his children hostage to circumstances or shortcomings.
He has not changed the tide of life to limit our dimensions. A different
view of the universe from a different position removes the veil of dust
so that we may discover the brilliant stars of an undiscovered galaxy
of grace. Every detail of each unfolding drama has its own set of curtains
that should be pulled back to reveal that the parable before us is an
explanation and not an extreme expedition of question. Answers to the
most burning questions of our lives leap from the footpaths that are
beside the still waters. Waves of a surging sea hush with the answers
of promises on the silent clouds around the edges of the storm. His
Word has declared he would open his mouth in dark sayings. In the absence
of light, we may be looking into the very source of the voice of every
answer. Our patience processes both our soul and the answer of the trackless
desert. Victory's voice is not drowned out by the mournful cries of
our pain. Everything that we desire is in the hands of the one who holds
help for today and tomorrow. Our search many times leaves us with boxes
from the closet of life that appear empty. If we throw them away, we
will never have enough boxes to hold our continued disappointment. They
are the boxes that we think are empty but are really about to be filled
with everything we have desired of him and more. His faithfulness will
erase the graffiti of the past and write the glory of the present in
indelible inks of grace. We rejoice and refuse to ever panic because
every problem in his hands always ends in peace.
IMPATIENCE
God has desired to give me all things that I have asked for. I purpose
not to allow my faith to waver. I will not be double minded. I will
receive the things that I have asked for. I choose not to settle
for the limitations of the past. I allow God to set my limitations,
and I will find out that there are none. He can do all things. With
men, things are impossible, but with God, all things are possible.
He has come that I might have life and that more abundantly. The
abundant life has not eluded me. It is on his right hand with pleasures
forevermore. He is not hiding it behind his back. I look on his
right hand and come to it. I reach and seize what I want. He has
given all things unto me. I am not trapped. The way is made; therefore,
I do not stand and hesitate any longer. The barriers set before
me cannot prevent me from going to the victory promised. God has
promised that he would see me through the obstacles and bring me
to a great victory. I have allowed the time I have waited on answers
to my prayers to discourage me. The Lord has remembered me. My father
and mother may forget, but God will not forget me. I do not allow
time spent developing the muscles of patience to make me sing the
blues or to mourn with the mourners. I rejoice in the victory that
I am expecting. I cannot prevent the shadows from coming into my
life, but I am not controlled by these shadows. Jesus is the same
in the shadows as he is in the time when there are no shadows. He
is faithful and will be on time.
INSPIRATION

RE:
RHEMA - Forsake the Company of Spiritual Drunkards, and Join the Bride
In Her Closet
The
shadows of the evening are cast by the angel standing in the sun.
Light at evening time shines beyond the reach of shadows into the
vision that God would shine into our hearts. We have beheld the programs
of man and seen that they do not work. Man's vision and philosophy
end in confusion. They are sterile and nonproductive. Our vision will
be filled with the unusual and the unprecedented. Congregations have
sat at the tables that are full of vomit of the same intellectual
speaking sent out again and again. We have heard and speak the words
of life and revelation. So many are intoxicated on the acceptance
of man. We are intoxicated on the power and acceptance of the Savior.
We have bread to eat and water to drink that so many know not of.
Many are willingly ignorant of the provision that God has bestowed
upon the church for this hour. We will run to him in the secret of
his presence and the secret of his tabernacle.
(Continued)
Some will leave, for they have eyes to see and see not; ears to hear,
and they hear not. You have reviewed some of the things that I have
promised in the past.
146.
Has anything fallen to the ground unfulfilled?
I AM THAT I AM. I AM. Only believe that I AM the same one that spoke
to Moses out of the burning bush. I am the same one that delivered Daniel's
friends out of the fiery furnace. I am the same one who called Abraham
out of his country. I am the same one who said unto Paul, "I am Jesus,
whom you are persecuting." I am the same yesterday, today, and forever.
147.
Is anything too hard for me?
I have been merciful unto you. The kindness and forgiveness that I have
shown towards you, instead of punishment, should motivate you to show
this same mercy to others. When you gave your life to me, I rewarded
you by being merciful unto you. Those who are under my power have received
sure mercy. Your obedience to the gospel brought you my approval. You
were ready to be sentenced with a death sentence, but I chose you to
receive a pardon. I am not a merciless God. I show kindness to all that
believe. My great compassion has been shown to you even though you were
an offender of my power. I came to the prison house where you were imprisoned
and released you from judgment's hand. My divine favor and compassion
was extended to you as I turned torment unto rejoicing.
148.
How can you sit idly by with souls crying for mercy in their distress?
149.
Don't you hear their cries?
It is in your power to release the souls from bondage. Simply go, and
preach the gospel unto them.
150.
What freed you?
