The Invasion of Great Success into Your Feelings and Thoughts

Do not think that I came to destroy your life, for only one is the destroyer. Will you liken me unto him?

Your life is precious to me. The feelings that you have are not of me, neither are the thoughts of failure. My thoughts are only of your good. Great success has invaded the darkness of your feelings and thoughts. I have come to give you focus. I am the God of focus. In me, there is no darkness; therefore, the distorted things that you have perceived have come from another spirit. You are in a war. The war zone can only be entered into by your erroneous thinking. As a man thinks in his heart, so is that man. Think on the things that I think toward you. My thoughts toward you are thoughts of peace and not thoughts of evil to give you an expected end. Call upon me according to knowledge. I will hear your cry and be merciful unto you. You have not sought me with all your heart, but in the day that you seek me with all of your heart, you shall find me in the dimensions that you desire. You have thought more on your enemies and your troubles than you have of me. Do not worry about your enemies. Though they descend upon you like a storm, at my command an evil thought shall come into their minds and they shall not triumph over you, but I will be sanctified in you before their eyes. I have forgiven you. Your enemies fight against you as though you are yet guilty. They do not recognize that in that they condemn you, they are condemning themselves. The evil that is happening is the variance that I have set in the world. A man’s foes shall be they of his own household. Men have rejected you; therefore, they have rejected me, for I sent you. Those who received you, received me, and I will give them a prophet’s reward. By the mercies of God, present your body a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto me. It is your reasonable service. Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind so that you may prove what is that good, acceptable, and perfect will of God. I love you; therefore, I have sent deliverance into your midst. Be delivered by the hand of God. I am for you. Now who can be against you. Rest from the battle, for it is mine and also judgment is mine. Do not judge others, lest you become what they are.

"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 Condemnation, Darkness, Destruction, Distortion, Erroneous Thinking, Failure, Rejection, and Worry

By Kenyetta Whitley

I do not think that Jesus came to destroy my life, for only one is the destroyer. I will not liken God unto a destroyer. My life is precious to him. The feelings that I have are not of him, neither are the thoughts of failure. God’s thoughts are only of my good. Great success has invaded the darkness of my feelings and thoughts. The Lord has come to give me focus. He is the God of focus. In him, there is no darkness; therefore, the distorted things that I have perceived have come from another spirit. I am in a war. The war zone can only be entered into by my erroneous thinking. As a man thinks in his heart, so is that man. I think on the things that the Lord thinks towards me. His thoughts toward me are thoughts of peace and not thoughts of evil to give me an expected end.

I call upon the Lord according to knowledge. He has heard my cry and been merciful unto me. I have not sought him with all my heart, but in the day that I seek him with all of my heart, I shall find him in the dimensions that I desire. I have thought more on my enemies and my troubles than I have of the Lord. I purpose to cease worrying about my enemies. Though they descend upon me like a storm, at God’s command an evil thought shall come into their minds and they shall not triumph over me, but he will be sanctified in me before their eyes. God has forgiven me. My enemies fight against me as though I am yet guilty. They do not recognize that in that they condemn me, they are condemning themselves. The evil that is happening is the variance that Jesus set in the world. A man’s foes shall be they of his own household. Men have rejected me; therefore, they have rejected him, for he sent me. Those who received me, received him, and he will give them a prophet’s reward. By the mercies of God, I present my body a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto him. It is my reasonable service. I will not be conformed to this world, but I will be transformed by the renewing of my mind so that I may prove what is that good, acceptable, and perfect will of God. The Lord loves me; therefore, he has sent deliverance into my midst. I will be delivered by the hand of God. He is for me. No one can be against me and win. I rest from the battle, for it is his and also judgment is his. I purpose to refrain from judging others, lest I become what they are.

RE: RHEMA - The Invasion of Great Success into Your Feelings and Thoughts

Hordes of hell will scream in our ears that God will not do what he said. Darkness will try to cover the revelation of truth that has burned like a torch in our minds and spirits. Joshua's success in 1:8 was based on being strong and courageous and speaking the laws of power and faith that would not depart out of his mouth. When we continue to speak the word that God has given, we are told that we will make our way prosperous. Dismay will not frame our thoughts, but the promise of God will paint the morning sunrise everyday of our life. It was not long ago that the Lord dealt with me about my faith. God said that I had an intellectual or thought faith but that I had let the enemy steal my expectation. Hope, line, and expectation are the same Hebrew word tiqvah, and it means, I have a real sign or reality that I can hold onto that God will keep his promise. Rahab had a crimson line or cord that would not fail her as an expectation. Job talked about the hope of a tree that even if the trunk and root were dead if it had a smell of water it would live and be fruitful again. In Proverbs 23:18 is one of the most powerful verses. "For surely there is an end; (whatever trial or perplexity we are in will end) and thine expectation (line, hope or cord) will not be cut off!" The most interesting thing about expectation is the Greek word in the New Testament. It is the word apokaradokia. It means to watch with an outstretched head or hand. It is a word picture of the mind with a hand reaching out to receive the promise! God was talking to me this morning and said that we needed to use his example in creation and begin in the night and the morning of each new day and declare the light and the coming forth of all things in one day. He said," I have packed all my creative power into the day that I will make as you declare it."

By Moses Hightower

My hand is not slack, and my word is not slow, neither is it weak. I am faithful. I have made promises to you. Because my word has gone out of my mouth, it will not return to me before it has performed what I sent it to do. My words are creative and powerful. They are not empty and unproductive. My words are fertile and full of plenty. Do not look to the dry ground of your circumstances and unnecessary qualifying factors. Look to my righteousness. I have imputed righteousness unto you. The effectual, fervent prayers that you offer avail much. Lift up your legs of confidence, and abound unto the fruitfulness of my performance by thanksgiving. Open up your heart and allow thanksgiving to be expressed. Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. The baptism of the Holy Ghost has brought righteousness inside of you. Peace and joy reside inside with righteousness. These three constitute a mighty kingdom within, for the kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but it is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

RE: RHEMA - Divine Hope and a Sure Course of Directions in a Torrential Upheaval of Emotion

All the rivers of our emotions can become the most polluted waterways in the world if they are filled with negative emotions. Grace is the master cleaner of toxic spills. The waterfalls of condemnation and the whirlpools of fear of failure will try to create an undertow to pull us under, but we have a hold of the same hand that pulled the Apostle Peter up out of the water. The book of Jude talks about inwardly men would be like raging waves of the sea. Emotions are like the motions of the agitator of the washing machine. We have the same power of the Apostle Peter to walk above the raging waves of the sea even the spoken words of others that would try to drown us. David spoke of the men who were floods of ungodly things. When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will give us a dock and safe harbor of faith to ride above the storms. He will bring us into our desired haven.

Goodness and mercy are following you all the days of your life. Now dwell in my house all the days of your life. I am your sun and your shield. I have given you grace and glory. No good thing is withheld from you, for I have supplied you with grace to walk uprightly. Do not take any thought about tomorrow, for tomorrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Things are threatening you.

193. What will you say to these things?

194. If I am for you, then who can be against you?

I worship you, Lord, for your faithfulness and your character. Truly what you have promised will come to pass because it is impossible for you to lie. Although the hordes of hell scream in my ears that you will not do what you said, I will not pay attention to their screams, for they are full of lies. Darkness will not succeed because the revelation of truth has burned like a torch in my mind and spirit. Because you have applied your principles to my life, I am succeeding by your strength and courage. I thank you for allowing me to speak your laws of power and faith that will not depart from my mouth. By your grace, I will continue to speak the word that you have given to me as my way is made prosperous.

I am grateful unto you, and I look to your promise as it paints the morning sunrise everyday of my life. It was not long ago that you dealt with me about my faith and now I will not allow the enemy to take my hope or my expectation. I wait expectantly as your promises are fulfilled. I rejoice in your Spirit, my God, and I watch your awesome revelations with an outstretched hand. You, my King, have talked to me this morning, and I will use your examples in creation and begin to declare the light of your glory. Now, I rise up and call forth all the creative power of the day to come forth into my present day. I call forth light, life, prosperity, healing and salvation, and I will continually give you praise.

RE: PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING - August 3, 2007

As we consider the book of 2 Corinthians chapter one, we see in verse 20 that all the promises of God are in him and they are yes and amen. We must pay attention to the last part of the verse to bring about the promise: Unto the glory of God by us. Most Greek scholars will tell us that it is our verbally expressing the yes and amen publicly that is the sealing of the promise and the glory of God. God gave Adam a pattern in creation. We should take the promises and the power of God and speak to the dawn before each day comes. We should go through the divided seas that would drown us from the atmosphere we breathe. We need to speak to the earth to bring forth abundantly. In asking Job if he could do some things, God was promising us that we could. Instead of darkness dictating to us our emotional state of mind, we should as God asked Job in 38:12 command the morning to be the day that the Lord has made.
