You are called to follow me. When you follow me, you follow love. Follow with a new purpose to see faith, hope, and charity optimized in your life. My goodness has passed before you, and I have been revealed unto you. The mystery of my Christ and I have been revealed. It is no longer hidden from you. My graciousness has been shown. My tender mercies and lovingkindness are yours. With great mercies, I have gathered you unto myself while others have fallen away. With everlasting kindness, I have granted you mercy. Behold how many have been turned unto fables. As Lot's wife was turned to a pillar of salt, so are many becoming monuments to be remembered as people who have forgotten my goodness and mercy. While goodness and mercy follow you, walk in the light of love. Iniquity and sin have come as a salty sea. With love, I have lifted you above the destruction in these waters. My kindness shall not depart from you. The everlasting covenant of peace is yours because you are the children of God by faith. Do not fear the cold love all about you, for in love, there is no fear. You are preserved by the grace that saved you. Grace has lifted you and saved you from the waters of wrath. The miracle of salvation has not started a good work in you and ceased. I saved you from your sins. I will not lose you to abounding iniquity and cold love. As many that were deemed faithful and true, turned unto the spirit of the world; mercy has gripped your heart and turned you unto true holiness and true righteousness.

I am called to follow the Lord. When I follow him, I follow love. I will follow with a new purpose to see faith, hope, and charity optimized in my life.

A Light Standing In the Path of Darkness

 

The light has shined into your darknesses and caused them to be without comprehension. I have destroyed the power of your darkness to comprehend. Without comprehension, your impossibilities are without strategy and without any foundation for success against you. Believe on me, and know that I have nullified the forces of darkness and made their efforts to destroy you of no effect. I have nullified and frustrated the plan of the darkness to engulf you with defeat. It had planned to smother you with darkness and cause your eyes to be blinded to my truth, but I have stood in the path of darkness and caused it to flee. Who can stand in the presence of this bright light that I am?

I am the light of the world. My light shines and gives off the sufficiency of my light. There is no power shortage in me. I am more than enough. Now lean on me, the light of the world, and know that the darkness cannot find you. Darkness merely camps round about the light. It cannot enter in. I am the light, and I am the door. Shall the darkness enter into me, the door of your life?

Darkness does not have the courage to come to me, the door, and attempt to enter into me again. Darkness entered me once and that unto total defeat. I swallowed up the darkness in victory. Now there remains no other darkness on "my menu," for now I only eat and drink the praises of my people. I swallowed darkness once, and I swallow it no more. By the grace of God, I tasted death for every man, and in that, I tasted death once, I taste it no more, neither shall my redeemed body. Be as I am, and be not desirous to eat of the table of darkness. You cannot eat of the table of light and of the table of darkness. Choose this day whom you will serve. Eat nothing from the darkness, and you will know the power of holiness and righteousness. Refuse the darkness, and choose the light. Refuse the bitter, and choose the sweet. I have beauty for you to behold that is not made visible or known in the domain of darkness. You can only behold the beauty that I have planned for you in the domain of light. This kingdom of light is ever increasing, and its increase has no end. Stay in this kingdom of light and forever enjoy the benefits of light. The sword of darkness desires to cut you away from the light. Take the sword of the spirit, which is my word, and establish lines for yourself so that the sword of darkness touches you not. Come and pick up the sword of the spirit, for you must draw lines in the universe that confine you to the light and separate you from the darkness. Those who walk in the light as I am in the light have fellowship with me, and my blood continually cleanses them from all sin. Sin must be paid for, yet in the light where there is fellowship and cleansing, the wages of sin are canceled, for I have paid the debt of sin for all.

Look unto me, the Bright and Morning Star. I have brightness to shine in your path to give you new direction in my word and in this life. I have new paths and new frontiers to discover and to conquer. Fear not the uncertainty of the new things, but know and be fully persuaded that you are more than a conqueror through me. I have loved you with a love that is everlasting. I have loved you with a fervency that causes a new fire to burn within you. I will not allow the fire of love to be quenched, neither shall I allow the strength of death to come and break our fellowship that we have in this marvelous light.

Walk on in the light as I am walking, and know of the continual cleansing that I give. I will wash you with fresh water and precious blood. The washing of regeneration and the renewing of my Holy Spirit within you shall cause you to speak the oracles of God with a new fervency and the abundance of inspiration unto edification, comfort, and encouragement for my people. My people are precious unto me, and I have given you to them. Allow me to use you freely, and I shall feed them the water of life and the bread of victory. They shall spring forth soon into the glorious liberty of my victory and then shall I bring souls that you have not seen. I await their fervent praises that come because they love me. I await the natural praises that come because they love me and not because they are told to praise me. Be an example of my goodness, for I have poured out my goodness in its abundance. I will continue to show you things that you have not seen. Look up, and behold the wonder on the way unto your bosom and your life. Look up, for I send a wonder unto you. Behold the wonder!

RE: RHEMA - A Light Standing In the Path of Darkness

An angel stood in the pathway Baalim. Angels are always angels of light. As light bearers they can stand in our pathway for warning or blessing. Joshuah found the Captain of the Lord's host in his pathway. He came with the announcement of victory. God has dispatched heralding angels to go before the host that he has sent to fight for his people. Beyond the angels and their flaming swords is the light that no man can approach unto. God's dwelling of his exercise of being the only supreme potentate stretches out before us as we are in this race. Joshua stood up, and stopped the day from ending without complete victory. Time and events of eternity must remain seated when the Light of the world steps out with us in the battle. No casualties are needed on the side of right. The battle is still the Lord's. We must stand still with the rod of his Word in our hand and see the salvation of the Lord. The entrance of his Word giveth light. We see the struggle in a complete different light when he is revealing that there are more with us than with the enemy. His light of promise has shown us the door into the pavilion of his secret power. The hidden power of the hand of the Lord is in the secret place of the stairs that climb into the very presence of the face of the One who is our victory.

 

DARKNESS

The light has shined into my darknesses and caused them to be without comprehension. The Lord has destroyed the power of my darkness to comprehend. Without comprehension, my impossibilities are without strategy and without any foundation for success against me. I believe on Jesus, and I know that he has nullified the forces of darkness and made their efforts to destroy me of no effect. He has nullified and frustrated the plan of the darkness to engulf me with defeat. It had planned to smother me with darkness and cause my eyes to be blinded to God's truth, but he has stood in the path of darkness and caused it to flee. No one can stand in the presence of this bright light that God is.

Jesus is the light of the world. His light shines and gives off the sufficiency of his light. There is no power shortage in him. He is more than enough. Now I lean on him, the light of the world and know that the darkness cannot find me. Darkness merely camps round about the light. It cannot enter in. Jesus is the light, and he is the door. The darkness shall not enter into him, the door of my life. Darkness does not have the courage to come to Jesus, the door, and attempt to enter into him again. Darkness entered him once and that unto total defeat. Jesus swallowed up the darkness in victory. Now there remains no other darkness on "his menu," for now he only eats and drinks the praises of his people. He swallowed darkness once, and he swallows it no more. By the grace of God, Jesus tasted death for every man, and in that he tasted death once, he tastes it no more, neither shall his redeemed body.

I will be as Jesus, and I will not be desirous to eat of the table of darkness. I cannot eat of the table of light and of the table of darkness. I choose this day who I will serve. I will eat nothing from the darkness, and I will know the power of holiness and righteousness. I refuse the darkness and choose the light. I refuse the bitter and choose the sweet. The Lord has beauty for me to behold that is not made visible or known in the domain of darkness. I can only behold the beauty that he has planned for me in the domain of light. This kingdom of light is ever increasing, and its increase has no end. I will stay in this kingdom of light and forever enjoy the benefits of light. The sword of darkness desires to cut me away from the light. I take the sword of the spirit, which is God's word and establish lines for myself so that the sword of darkness does not touch me. I will go and pick up the sword of the spirit, for I must draw lines in the universe that confine me to the light and separate me from the darkness. Those who walk in the light as Jesus is in the light have fellowship with him, and his blood continually cleanses them from all sin. Sin must be paid for, yet in the light where there is fellowship and cleansing, the wages of sin are canceled, for Jesus has paid the debt of sin for all.

I look unto Jesus, the Bright and Morning Star. He has brightness to shine in my path to give me new direction in his word and in this life. He has new paths and new frontiers to discover and to conquer. I will not fear the uncertainty of the new things, but I will know and be fully persuaded that I am more than a conqueror through Jesus. He has loved me with a love that is everlasting. He has loved me with a fervency that causes a new fire to burn within me. He will not allow the fire of love to be quenched, neither shall he allow the strength of death to come and break our fellowship that we have in this marvelous light.

I will walk on in the light as he is walking and know of the continual cleansing that he gives. He will wash me with fresh water and precious blood. The washing of regeneration and the renewing of his Holy Spirit within me shall cause me to speak the oracles of God with a new fervency and the abundance of inspiration unto edification, comfort, and encouragement for God's people. His people are precious unto him, and he has given me to them. I allow him to use me freely, and he shall feed them the water of life and the bread of victory.

INSPIRATION

RE: RHEMA - Take Into Custody the Dimensions Beyond Yourself, and Acquire the Riches Hidden In Dark, Secret Places

God always places tomorrow and the things that we look for on a shelf just beyond our reach. Wisdom teaches us not to strain but to rest in the assurance that even what we cannot see is coming to us. God has created a universe that now is acknowledged to have several dimensions beyond the three we see. All of them are connected by power loops called super strings that vibrate with the symphony of creation. As we worship him in spirit and truth, we become part of the connectivity that causes this part of the unseen creation to become part of our world. Many have said, "That faith is a leap in the dark." If God has made darkness his pavilion then it is not a leap into the unseen but the unseen leaps into the seen when we leap by faith into the extra dimensions that were created for those who can see the unseen and hear the unheard. Treasures of the darkness have long waited those who will not be afraid to reach out and receive them. The physical creation has long mirrored the spiritual creation. In the plant world, the dark phase of photosynthesis is when plants grow and turn what they have collected in the daylight into sugar or plant food. We receive in the light but we grow and flourish in the darkness. Pavilions of power await us in the darkness. The dawning of a new day of creation is folded just inside the curtains of darkness. Darkness will never have the power to overwhelm the light. In the Psalms, David tells us that the light and the darkness are alike to God. It is part of modern warfare to take night vision optics and take the light that is in the darkness and focus it through the right sets of lens, and see clearly the enemy. God has given us the spiritual lens to see the victory that seems to hide in the darkness. Our eyes shall see the giants of the host that stands against us slain, already in the arena that we cannot see in to naturally but clearly so in the Spirit. We are heirs of the treasures of promises that were given to Abraham in the night vision. Out of that vision comes a gentile bride that of the burning light that passed through the sacrifices.

 

 

(Continued)

Believe on me, and know that I have nullified the forces of darkness and made their efforts to destroy you of no effect. I have nullified and frustrated the plan of the darkness to engulf you with defeat. It had planned to smother you with darkness and cause your eyes to be blinded to my truth, but I have stood in the path of darkness and caused it to flee.

296. Who can stand in the presence of this bright light that I am?

 

I am the light of the world. My light shines and gives off the sufficiency of my light. There is no power shortage in me. I am more than enough. Now lean on me, the light of the world, and know that the darkness cannot find you. Darkness merely camps round about the light. It cannot enter in. I am the light, and I am the door.

297. Shall the darkness enter into me, the door of your life?

 

You have not preached in vain, neither shall I suffer you to be a castaway. I have not forgotten you, neither was my promises to you futile and empty. I have given you directions, and I will confirm my words unto you speedily. Look not upon the uncertainty of human reasoning, for you will not find the answer in that which is of the flesh. I have said unto you, "Have no confidence in the flesh, and trust not in the arm of flesh."

298. Will the flesh of man fail you?

299. Can trust in that which is weak in the face of impossibility become your strength in the time of trouble?
