Word
There is a peace that passes understanding.
In My presence is fullness of joy, those who enter in find rest.
Live in Me. Let your loins be girded in truth. Walk in righteousness and wisdom that you would please Me always. Cease not from praying for I would have it that you would receive from Me daily. Only those who do not love this life or the things thereof will be made strong in the times to come. For a man cannot serve two masters.
Have faith. Let faith arise this day for I have all that you need. You will have no lack if you believe the words of My mouth and walk accordingly. I tell you, I know what you have need of before you even ask. Let your confidence be in this, knowing that I will never leave you or forsake you. And that those who trust in Me will never be ashamed.
The Lord ministered to me that what He has given us has not been revealed to us by flesh and blood, but by the Spirit of Truth. The Lord said, "Let no man take from you what I have given you." What God gives you is precious; and prideful, self-righteous men will try to take these things from you if you let them. Their father is not your Father in heaven, and they seek to destroy you and tear you down because the things that you receive from God are not given to them to receive. Hold fast to all that God gives you, and let if be written upon your heart. Remember that we are not to cast our pearls before swine because if we do, they will trample upon the very words that God has spoken to us (the truth that has set us free), trying to take to us captive and make us a servant of themselves. Judge yourself that you can be judged of no man.
A song that Rhonda played during worship yesterday had these lyrics: "Open up my eyes to the things unseen." When I heard these words, they became more of a prayer and a cry of my heart for those at our church and those who love God. When I was considering this in the Spirit, I heard the Lord simply say, "I will." Who will have faith in what God has spoken and let it be accounted unto them for righteousness?
Hebrews 11:1
1Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
The Lord was ministering that though the above scripture is true and without faith there is no pleasing Him, we must move on past the point of just accepting it to the point of knowing that once we do believe (without seeing), God can then reveal the unseen things to us. The heavens are opened and God will withhold no good thing from us. The question is who will take Him at His word and enter in to all that He has put before us?
God be glorified in us,

Amen,
Let no man take what God has given you. Not by mockery, deception, friendship, fear or anything else. Stand! When faith becomes substance, or reality, you would be denying truth to submit to the will of man.

Do you young folk realise the fullness of what you are receiving here?...this is what shall sustain you in the months and years to come, what there is left of the time that we have here..Praise His Holy name, you ARE hearing from the throne room of Heaven...Amen
Amen, Dave, Helen, and Ryan.
Faith. What a mind blowing concept, so intricate and precise, yet so unbelievably simple. The Lord is telling us daily to have faith, be found in faith, let faith arise, etc. But until all of his truth becomes palpable reality to us, we are falling short of what could be done. I don't want to just believe that moving a mountain is possible, I want KNOW that It would be done if the words escaped my mouth. (If it be God's Will of course)
