You were marked for death. I disannulled death's covenant and gave you the words of the covenant of life. Take the words of my testimony and speak them. The keys are in your mouth. Whatsoever you shall bind on earth, shall be bound in heaven. Whatsoever you shall loose on earth, shall be loosed in heaven. Words are being spoken in prayer for you. I have moved upon members in the body all over the world to pray for you. When one member suffers, all the members suffer with it. The prayers of others are building you up. Be encouraged in the Lord. You have coveted earnestly the best gifts. I have given them unto you. Do not halt here. Now seek love, for without it, none of these things profit you anything. I have set all in the church for my own purpose and as I have willed. I do not accept any man's person. There are many that seem to be. Do not let them bother you. They cannot add anything to you, and they cannot take anything away. I have given you grace, and the gospel has been committed unto you. I work effectually in all. Turn your eyes toward the multitudes that await the word of the Lord. I will work mightily in you toward them.

Rescued from the Failing Business In Entertainment by the Lord of Our Business

Today I will take you on a journey where fish reside. You are a fisher of men. I called you to catch men. How will you catch them if you do not fish?

What do you know about fishing?

Fishing is only boring to those who do not love it. It is boring to those who have no purpose for fishing. Do you have a purpose for catching men?

This is the occupation that I placed you in. As I created Adam and placed him in the occupation of a gardener, so have I placed you in the occupation of a fisherman. Have you ever wondered if Adam was a good gardener?

What do you think that I think about your fishing?

Are you a good fisherman?

Have you quit your occupation as a fisherman and entered another occupation of your own choice?

How do you spend your time?

Fishing or tending your own personal gardens in this life?

Look upon the many man-made gardens of this life, and behold the numerous ponds, lakes, rivers, and oceans full of men. Will you continue to spend your time tending the flowers and the trees of life and not take time to fish in these places that you pass by daily?

The fish are so plentiful that you may catch them by any means. I need willing available vessels for instruments for my fishing. I desire to use you that I might catch men and bring them out of these waters. As you walk by their places of habitation, do you observe the many fish that are in trouble?

Do you realize that many of them do not know that the sin all about them is not food for them?

They swim about in the waters of sin. They breathe the poisonous fumes from the plants of sin. They eat and drink sin as a regular diet using an appetite that will never be satisfied. Who will go and plant the word of God in the midst of this sinful environment?

The enemy continues to plant new foliage and new plants of sin in the ponds of life, but who will go and plant the knowledge of the tree of life?

They need the Lily of the valley instead of their lilies of corruption. They need the Rose of Sharon instead of their roses of vanity. They need the tree of life instead of the trees of pride. They need the fresh waters of life instead of the waters of lust. I have stocked the waters in your city with men from all nations. You do not have very far to travel to fulfill my commission to go and preach the gospel to every creature. How long will you tarry before you journey to Africa in your backyard?

How long will you wait before you preach the gospel to Asia next door?

How long will you sleep before you wake up and proclaim the good news to Europe in your front yard?

How long will you halt before you declare the truth to Germany in your own marketplace?

"How long?" I say.

How long will you wait before you fish?

Look upon the men in the waters of life, and behold their unceasing hunger for bread. Don't you know that my bread is appetizing to those that I am drawing from these waters?

Recall the fish that you have seen up close. They are biting right now, and they were biting when I brought them face to face with you. Do you recall what kind of bait you fished with?

You must use the "good news" bait, which is encased in love instead of good news packaged within condemnation and insincerity. Have you caught fish and brought them to the pond of life only to wake up one morning and find them dead in a pond of life?

Who killed your catch?

A devil or you?

Why should I give you the beautiful and precious fish of the earth if they will only die again in your garden of unconcern? I am looking for healthy waters to place precious fish. Will you clean up yourself that the fish may live?

Or will you choose to be an unfaithful caretaker who ministers death instead of life?

All the fish of the earth are important to me. I died for all. Who do you fish for?

Those of your own nationality or every creature in the waters of sin?

Are you aware that many of another nationality would respond and be willing to be caught by you if you only fish for them?

Cast your bread in the waters that you have not fished in, and you will draw out a big catch. Hear my voice, and come from your favorite comfortable fishing place. I will show you new waters where there are easy catches. Learn lessons from the enemies in the waters where these fish dwell. Go to the frogs, and learn of their wisdom. They eat any moving thing that is small enough to swallow. Have you fished for the young?

Will you only fish for grownups while the frogs of these waters devour and eat the young?

The alligators, the snakes, the wading birds, and the animals that eat fish all come to the waters where the fish live. They journey there to catch fish. Have you been to the waters where men live? Were you there to catch fish?

When I called you, I empowered you with fish catching ability. You ask, "Who will teach me to fish?" I say, "Who taught the frogs? Who taught the snakes? Who taught the fish eating birds? Who taught the raccoons? Who taught the bears?"

When you are hungry to fulfill your purpose in this life as a fisherman, the natural God-given abilities within you shall be activated to enable you to go to the waters and catch fish. You must hunger to do the will of God. A hungry bear will fish until he has caught a fish to satisfy his hunger. Where is your hunger?

Who spoiled your appetite for fishing?

What spoiled your appetite for fishing?

A hunter must hunt. A pilot must fly a plane. A teacher must teach. Are you a fisherman who does not fish?

I have come to you today to revive your natural God-given love for fishing. You must accept this reviving. You may choose to be restored back to your natural occupation. You are weary because you are attempting to employ yourself as an entertainer. You will starve in this occupation, for the salaries of fisherman posing as entertainers of the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life are not sufficient for you. The currency paid these entertainers of lust and pride has no value in my kingdom. Resign from your failing business in entertainment, and come back to the Father's prosperous business of fishing.

You say, "You are not an entertainer," then tell me how do you spend your time?

Do you spend your time laboring to please the lust of your eyes, the lust of your flesh, and the pride of life?

Or do you spend your time fishing for men?

You say, "I must work." Yes, or you should not eat. Work that you might eat, but cease your working to entertain your lust and your pride. Turn in your resignation at the entertainer's headquarters, and come immediately to the business that you are naturally equipped to succeed in. This is your father's business. Come back to my successful business. This business shall grow and fill the whole earth. I invite you again to labor with me and be successful. Continue to labor as an entertainer of lust and pride, and you will labor for meat that will perish. Come. I have not come to condemn you for your failures, but I have come to rescue you from the perishing employment by lust and pride, whose entire establishment lies in wickedness and shall be cast into the lake of fire. Come. Love beckons you to be reinstated as a fisherman in my business. Come and follow me.

RE: RHEMA - Rescued from the Failing Business In Entertainment by the Lord of Our Business

We are the fishers of men. In the Old Testament, we are told that the abundance of the sea will be converted unto us. In the parables of the kingdom the last one declares that the nets will be so full of fish that the angels will have to handle the harvest. If there is such an abundance of harvest, what are we doing getting side tracked?

It seems so easy for us to as David described Saul getting into the game of chasing fleas like a dog. Some things that are in the church seem important but in the overall mix, they are trivial compared to the worth of one soul. Calvary shouts the command of the Savior to us. We are those who are the hope of those who live in the darkness of sin. As Adam was a gardener, we are the sower of seed, but our soil is the water that covers over 80% percent of the earth. As we cast of bread on the waters, we will have and abundant harvest return unto us.

What has called us aside from the purpose of the church?

Entertainment and amusement have led astray the minds of many saints in this hour. People do not have to think. Choices are made for them by their identification with those who inhabit the high places of the entertainment industry. Its false images inhibit our ability to see the lost in their desperate condition. While the fish are being hunted and devoured by the predators of the night, we are being devoured by our own lust. So many are addicted to pleasure and allergic to God. God deliver us from the bondage of the feeding our flesh on the cares of this life.

 

LUST, PRIDE, AND AN ERRONEOUS DIRECTION

Today Jesus took me on a journey where fish reside. I am a fisher of men. He has called me to catch men. I will not catch them if I do not fish. Fishing requires purpose and patience. Fishing is only boring to those who do not love it. It is boring to those who have no purpose for fishing. I have a purpose for catching men. This is the occupation that God placed me in. As he created Adam and placed him in the occupation of a gardener, so has he placed me in the occupation of a fisherman.

I never stopped to wonder if Adam was a good gardener. I think the Lord knows that my fishing is ineffective. I believe that the Lord is not pleased with my fishing of men. I do not think that I am a good fisherman. At times, I have quit my occupation as a fisherman and entered another occupation of my own choice. I have not spent my time wisely as a fisherman. I have spent much more time tending my own personal gardens in this life. I look upon the many man-made gardens of this life, and I behold the numerous ponds, lakes, rivers, and oceans full of men. I am determined not to continue to spend my time tending the flowers and the trees of life and not take time to fish in these places that I pass by daily. The fish are so plentiful that I may catch them by any means. The Lord needs willing, available vessels for instruments for his fishing. He desires to use me that I might catch men and bring them out of these waters. As I walk by their places of habitation, I do not always observe the many fish that are in trouble. Although I realize that many of them do not know that the sin all about them is not food for them. They swim about in the waters of sin. They breathe the poisonous fumes from the plants of sin. They eat and drink sin as a regular diet using an appetite that will never be satisfied. God has called me as one who will go and plant the word of God in the midst of this sinful environment.

The enemy continues to plant new foliage and new plants of sin in the ponds of life, but I will go and plant the knowledge of the tree of life. They need the Lily of the valley instead of their lilies of corruption. They need the Rose of Sharon instead of their roses of vanity. They need the tree of life instead of the trees of pride. They need the fresh waters of life instead of the waters of lust. The Lord has stocked the waters in my city with men from all nations. I do not have very far to travel to fulfill his commission to go and preach the gospel to every creature.

I will not tarry any longer before I journey to Africa in my backyard. I will not wait any longer before I preach the gospel to Asia next door. I am awakened out of sleep now to proclaim the good news to Europe in my front yard. I will no longer halt before I declare the truth to Germany in my own marketplace. I wait no longer before I fish. I look upon the men in the waters of life and behold their unceasing hunger for bread. I know that God's bread is appetizing to those that he is drawing from these waters. I recall the fish that I have seen up close. They are biting right now, and they were biting when he brought them face to face with me. I used the gospel as bait. I must use the "good news" bait which is encased in love instead of good news packaged within condemnation and insincerity. I determine not to catch fish and bring them to the pond of life only to wake up one morning and find them dead in the pond of life. If they are dead in the pond, then I killed them, or I did not watch for them. Jesus will not give me the beautiful and precious fish of the earth if they will only die again in my garden of unconcern. He is looking for healthy waters to place precious fish. I will clean up myself that the fish may live and not choose to be an unfaithful caretaker who ministers death instead of life.

All the fish of the earth are important to God. He died for all. I must fish to catch all that he died for, not just those of my own nationality. I must fish for every creature in the waters of sin. I am becoming aware that many of another nationality would respond and be willing to be caught by me if I only fish for them. I cast my bread in the waters that I have not fished in, and I will draw out a big catch. I hear the Lord's voice, and I come from my favorite comfortable fishing place. He will show me new waters where there are easy catches.

I purpose to learn lessons from the enemies in the waters where these fish dwell. I will go to the frogs and learn of their wisdom. They eat any moving thing that is small enough to swallow. I have not fished for the young. I will not only fish for grownups while the frogs of these waters devour and eat the young. The alligators, the snakes, the wading birds, and the animals that eat fish all come to the waters where the fish live. They journey there to catch fish. In recent times, I have not been to the waters where men live, and when I did go, I wasn't always there to catch fish. When God called me, he empowered me with fish catching ability. I asked, "Who will teach me to fish?" Jesus says, "Who taught the frogs? Who taught the snakes? Who taught the fish eating birds? Who taught the raccoons? Who taught the bears?"

When I am hungry to fulfill my purpose in this life as a fisherman, the natural God-given abilities within me shall be activated to enable me to go to the waters and catch fish. I must hunger to do the will of God. A hungry bear will fish until he has caught a fish to satisfy his hunger. I have not directed my hunger to fishing. I have allowed life's cares and busyness to spoil my appetite for fishing. A hunter must hunt. A pilot must fly a plane. A teacher must teach, and I must be a fisherman who fishes. The Lord has come to me today to revive my natural God-given love for fishing. I must accept this reviving. I may choose to be restored back to my natural occupation. I am weary because I am attempting to employ myself as an entertainer. I will starve in this occupation, for the salaries of fisherman posing as entertainers of the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life are not sufficient for me. The currency paid these entertainers of lust and pride has no value in God's kingdom. I resign from my failing business in entertainment and come back to the Father's prosperous business of fishing. I have said, "I am not an entertainer," but then I realize this is how I have spent my time. I have spent my time laboring to please the lust of my eyes, the lust of my flesh, and the pride of life and not fishing for men.

I say, "I must work." The Lord says, "Yes, or you should not eat." I must work that I might eat, but I am determined to cease my working to entertain my lust and my pride. I turn in my resignation at the entertainer's headquarters, and I come immediately to the business that I am naturally equipped to succeed in. This is my Father's business. I come back to the Lord's successful business. This business shall grow and fill the whole earth. He invites me again to labor with him and be successful. If I continue to labor as an entertainer of lust and pride, then I will labor for meat that will perish. The Lord has not come to condemn me for my failures, but he has come to rescue me from the perishing employment by lust and pride, whose entire establishment lies in wickedness and shall be cast into the lake of fire. Love beckons me to be reinstated as a fisherman in God's business. I come to the Lord and follow him.

 

INSPIRATION & RHEMA

By Don Grigsby

 

RE: RHEMA - Open Your Mouth, and It Will Be Filled With a Word In Due Season

As sure as the waters come down from a above in the fresh rain and return again from the sea, the words of heaven will come down into our lives and never break the communion between God and his children. God has counted and declared the end of all evil but has also declared the endlessness of the power of his kingdom. Every foe is already vanquished before the sword that comes from his mouth. The work he has declared already done will destroy the conventional wisdom of man. It will be such a powerful thrust that all will marvel at the wonder that is swiftly performed. His hidden scrolls will be unrolled and fulfilled in the mouth of his prophets. The terrible one shall be brought to naught. They that have erred in doctrine will understand, and those who murmured will understand the ways of his power. Every fortress of darkness will fall to the church, and those souls that are captive there will be liberated by the good news of the gospel.

 

 

(Continued)

Do not give place to the devil. If you continue to walk by your feelings and by your sight, you will have a mouth filled with corrupt communication. I have called you to speak that which is good to the use of edifying that it may minister grace unto the hearers. You grieve me, the Holy Spirit, by the voice of unbelief that you allow to speak in you. I sanctified your heart and mouth.

191. Now why allow this evil speaking to be spoken through sanctified lips?

 

Your tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

192. Whose name are you signing to the document of unbelief that arrived in your life today?

 

Do not sign my name to this evil report, for I will not sanction the things that come from your evil heart of unbelief. You will depart into yonder desert of destruction if you continue to give consent and approval to the things that unbelief sends into your mind. I have given you precious promises.

193. Are you agreeing with what I have promised and told you to do, or are you opposed to my will for your life?

 

Withdraw your name from the publication and service of the devil. Cancel his periodicals that arrive in your life every day. You are paying precious riches for worthless information that is so plentiful on the airwaves of evil. Tune into faith's voice in this hour where evil has launched major campaigns to increase their number of subscribers to unbelief's publications. By the words of your mouth, you have sent others a subscription to unbelief.

194. How will you name the name of Christ if you are a peddler of unbelief?

 

The foundation of God stands sure. Everyone that names the name of Christ departs from iniquity. If you desire to be a vessel of honor, speak the things that I have said lest you reserve a place for yourself among fools. Purge yourself from the inspiration of unbelief and then will you guarantee a position with the vessels of honor, sanctified, meet for my use, and prepared unto every good work.

195. How will you endorse faith and unbelief?
