The Portrait of Love Is a Visual Testimony That Is Constantly Published by God

Grace is the portrait of my love. Without this portrait, you would be void in understanding of me. All who came without grace were impostors, for I am full of grace and truth. Allow your lips to fashion expressions that paint images of victory in the lives of others, for from the wisdom given you, there will be no perversion of the ornament on your head. The headstone has come forth and shouted, “Grace, grace unto your troubles.” The spirit of grace and of supplications has been poured out. You are filled with wisdom, and the grace of God is upon you. Speak with the tongue of a ready writer, for you are fairer than the children of men. Grace is poured into your lips and you are blessed forever. By my power, the words of your enemies are overthrown; therefore, set your face like a flint and know that you will not be made ashamed. I am with you. I am the one who justifies you. Who will contend with you?

I have stood up with you against your adversary. Let your adversary come near. I am your help. Now who is he that will contend with you?

They are as an old garment that is moth-eaten; therefore, walk with the mantle of grace and the great fire of grace shall burn up these rags. I have painted a new portrait of your present life. Behold how you are portrayed in the photograph of victory. The negatives submitted by your enemies have been trashed, for they were rejected and found as fabrications of truth. Where there is forgiveness of sins, every attempt to ruin those that I have forgiven is foiled. Rejoice. The authentic is the only visual that is rendered acceptable in my presence. Love did not start with a portrait of grace and end with a portrait of dishonor. I erased your errors and failures with the eliminator of love, which is my blood. The things that would have marred the portrait of victory are eradicated and reduced to nothing. “Rejoice,” I say. Again I say, “Rejoice.”

"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light, and there was light."

Words of Light upon the Face of Adversaries, Dishonor, Enemies, Errors, Failure, and Trouble

By Rashall Sanchez

The grace of God is the portrait of God’s love. Without this portrait, I would be void in understanding of him. All who came without grace are impostors, for he is full of grace and truth. I will allow my lips to fashion expressions that paint images of victory in the lives of others, for from the wisdom given to me, there will be no perversion of the ornament on my head. The headstone has come forth and shouted, "Grace, grace unto your troubles." The spirit of grace and of supplications has been poured out. God has filled me with his wisdom, and his grace is upon me. I will speak with the tongue of a ready writer, for God has made me fairer than the children of men. Grace has been poured into my lips, and I am blessed forever. By his power, the words of my enemies are overthrown; therefore, I will set my face like a flint and know that I will not be made ashamed. God is with me. He is the one who justifies me. No one can contend with me.

God has stood up with me against my adversary. I will let my adversary come near. The Lord is my help. Now there is no one that shall contend with me. My enemies are as an old garment that is moth- eaten; therefore, I will walk with the mantle of grace and the great fire of grace shall burn up these rags. God has painted a new portrait of my present life. I will now behold how I am portrayed in the photograph of victory. The negatives submitted by my enemies have been trashed, for they were rejected and found as fabrications of truth. Where there is forgiveness of sins, every attempt to ruin those that God has forgiven will be foiled. I rejoice. The authentic is the only visual that is rendered acceptable in God’s presence. Love did not start with a portrait of grace and end with a portrait of dishonor. God erased my errors and failures with the eliminator of love, which is his blood. The things that would have marred the portrait of victory are eradicated and reduced to nothing. God has told me to rejoice; therefore, I will rejoice!

RE: RHEMA – The Portrait of Love Is a Visual Testimony That Is Constantly Published by God

Love's portrait has grace as its artist. Mercy is not merely a broad brush that simply blots out all of sin's figures from the frame of life. It layers and textures every fiber of the canvas with the blood of the Lamb until its visible image is awash in the light of God's glory covering our shame. Before it even picked up love's brushes, it erased the graffiti and effacement of our lives. Heaven has hung the portrait of our lives in the living galleries of life for all the world to see. When people look and see the great grace on the canvas, there is a superimposed light that displays a cross over it all. Shadows and traditions of life and religion may try to cancel the display, but they will not prevail. Grace will finish its work and portrait of our lives just as the headstone was brought forth to the temple with cries of grace. God loves to take lives that have been devastated and destroyed and restore the canvas to its original state. Some may look at the work of God that is on display in our lives and see what they think is a loser loaded with failure, but they will behold lavish love loosed! What was once one loaded with offenses and overwhelmed will be an overcomer overwhelming the opposition! Our enemies intended for us to be wasted in the worst condition possible. Love has changed the picture into worshippers winning the war.

By Moses Hightower

You are built upon holy faith that is supported by my faithfulness. Be assured of my faithfulness, and do not mortgage your faith. Do not allow the spirit of condemnation to take out a lien on your faith. Hold fast to the title deed that is freely given to you, and do not become another victim of crafty serpents sent among my people. These spirits go to and fro seeking whom they may devour. Hold fast the profession of your faith without wavering, for I am faithful. I promised. Rise up and offer praise and thanksgiving. Allow the fruit of your lips to speak with the voice of the second man Adam, not with the voice of one overcome by affections for the things of the flesh. Hear the voice of the Spirit. I have sent you an invitation to behold the abortion of the enemy's plight. My plans to bless you will not be retracted. My plans to take vengeance on your enemies are being executed while you write.

RE: RHEMA - Fortified and Preserved in a Strong Tower of Strength by the King of the Tower

The tower of Babel was man’s early attempt to build a tower to heaven and make a name for themselves. This was a misdirected effort, but the desire to do this came from and inherent desire deep within them. In a positive sense, it was a dimensional change that would place them in a position that was closer to the protection of heaven. It was such a notable effort that God was impressed to the extent that he said that in this effort nothing would be withheld from them. Jesus' name is a flash point in this world. Not only is it a strong tower, but it is also the avenue to the miraculous and impossible. Nothing is withheld from those who come in the name of Jesus. As we declare and preach his name, all of hell and its forces will thrust every weapon and voice against us that it can. His name is not only a tower and our walls of our habitation salvation, but it also opens to us new places of existence that we have hardly dreamed of.

Recently, the Lord shared this little word with me. ”You have looked at my name as a tower, but the tower is just a shadow of the fortress of strength and estate of blessing that I have prepared for you. Those who love my name will receive the revelation of my greatness in the last days. As my name is lifted up, I will lift up those who seek me into the heights of the heavens. Above the gravity of those who would try to pull them down, I will dissolve the ability of the reach of distracters to pull you down. My name has taught you a new vocabulary that they do not even speak. You have had a higher call and greater word of promise than others to allow the small chatter that they mumble to affect you. Come into the chamber of those who dwell in the secret place of my towering name, and I will tell you secrets that have been kept since before the world began.”

There are miracles coming in the distance. These miracles are of a magnitude that you would not believe, not even if a preacher told you. Prepare for the wave of the miraculous. I have raised you up from the deadness of prayerlessness.

171. Will I not raise up your dead financial situation to be the living voice of the testimony of financial miracles?

Look to me, the Author. Now look to me, the Finisher.

172. Am I the same one?

I worship you, O Lord, for your creative power and your unfailing love for me. I thank you for the “Let There Be’s” which you have spoken in my life. The words which you speak are spirit and they are life. They are words which bring things into existence as well as words which make pictures. Love's portrait has grace as its artist. Your mercy is not merely a broad brush that simply blots out all of sin's figures from the frame of my life. It layers and textures every fiber of the canvas with the blood of the Lamb until its visible image is awash in the light of your glory covering my shame. Before you even picked up love's brushes, you erased the graffiti and effacement of my life.

Heaven had hung the portrait of my life in the living galleries of life for the entire world to see. When people look and see the great grace on the canvas, there is a superimposed light that displays a cross over it all. Shadows and traditions of life and religion may try to cancel the display, but they will not prevail. Grace will finish its work and portrait of my life. I am so thankful that you love to take lives that have been devastated and destroyed and restore the canvas to its original state. Some may look at your work that is on display in my life and see what they think is a loser loaded with failure, but they will behold lavish love loosed! What was once one loaded with offenses and overwhelmed will be an overcomer overwhelming the opposition! My enemies intended for me to be wasted in the worst condition possible. Your love has changed the picture into a worshipper winning the war.

RE: PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING - July 25, 2007

Amidst the gathering shadows of darkness the eons of the past and the dusty void that enveloped it all, there was a slight vibration in the air. Eternity's Creator was about to speak into the oblivion of overwhelming hopelessness and replace it with of brand new world filled with horizons of excited expectation in every direction. Grace takes our lives and hangs a brand new world on the nothing of the past. Yet, this is only the whisper of the Voice of power that will speak again and again into our lives until it will out thunder the voices of Sinai with the words of grace. He who hath begun a good work of grace in us will finish that work with all its perfection. God will look and see what he has done by his creative words of grace and say that, "It is very good!"
