The Liftoff of Forbearance, Clemency, and Broadmindedness Allows Us To Escape the Gravity of Hatred

I am love. You know that you are mine because they manifest the same spirit of love, and they hear my voice. Beware of those who do not manifest love in their actions and words. Believers who have love one to another are of me. If you hate your brother, then you are a murderer. No murderer has a part with eternal life. Murderers are enemies to the cause of God; however, I have instructed you to love your enemies. You have prayed for your enemies. Do you think that your enemies have prayed for you?

If they prayed for you, then why are they yet attacking you?

They are powerless because true love is absent from them; therefore, do not fear powerless believers. They do not have a god that can enforce any of their claims or threats. Look away from these people who have become the dwelling places of spirits of hatred and distraction. I have placed them under your feet. Now dance in this new dimension, which is above their taunts and annoying tactics. These spirits are defeated. The vessels that they dwell in are reserved for destruction. Give thanks that I saved you from the hatred that has now taken them captive. Except by my grace, you could be as they are. I will have mercy upon whom I will have mercy. Allow me to purify your heart by faith, which is in me, then will you be blessed enough to see me, for blessed are the pure in heart. The pure in heart shall see me.

I have shed abroad my love in your heart by the Holy Ghost, which is freely given to you. You are choosing to pray for your enemies because of my love that is in your heart. Now that you have power to pray for your enemies, you also have power over all things. Go and cast out devils, lay hands on the sick, open the blinded eyes, open the deaf ears, work miracles by my hand, and do the greater works that I told you about. The power to perform miracles is resident in the church of the last days. This power is accessed by faith. It is in your reach. Access it and glorify me in your works and words. I am the Lord, your God, who teaches you how to profit. I will teach you how to get wealth, for I have laid up the wealth of the sinner for you. Come and follow me, and I will lead you to it.

HARSHNESS, HATRED, IMPATIENCE, AND NARROW-MINDEDNESS

God is love. I know that I am his because I manifest the same spirit of love, and I hear his voice. I will beware of those who do not manifest love in their actions and words. Believers who have love one to another are of Christ. If I hate my brother, then I am a murderer. No murderer has a part with eternal life. Murderers are enemies to the cause of God; however, God has instructed me to love my enemies. I have prayed for my enemies. My enemies have not prayed for me. If they prayed for me, then they would not be attacking me. They are powerless because true love is absent from them; therefore, I will not fear powerless believers. They do not have a god that can enforce any of their claims or threats. I look away from these people who have become the dwelling places of spirits of hatred and distraction. God has placed them under my feet. I dance in this new dimension, which is above their taunts and annoying tactics. These spirits are defeated. The vessels that they dwell in are reserved for destruction. I give thanks that he saved me from the hatred that has now taken them captive. Except by his grace, I could be as they are. God will have mercy upon whom he will have mercy. I will allow him to purify my heart by faith, which is in Christ, then will I be blessed enough to see him, for blessed are the pure in heart. The pure in heart shall see God. He has shed abroad his love in my heart by the Holy Ghost, which is freely given to me. I have chosen to pray for my enemies because of God’s love that is in my heart. Now that I have power to pray for my enemies, I also have power over all things. I will go and cast out devils, lay hands on the sick, open the blinded eyes and the deaf ears, work miracles by God’s hand, and do the greater works that he has told me about. The power to perform miracles is resident in the church of the last days. This power is accessed by faith. It is within my reach. I access it and glorify God in my works and words. Jesus is the Lord, my God, who teaches me how to profit. He will teach me how to get wealth, for he has laid up the wealth of the sinner for me. I will follow him, and he will lead me to it.

RHEMA - The Liftoff of Forbearance, Clemency, and Broadmindedness Allows Us To Escape the Gravity of Hatred

Hate is defined in the original as any state of loving less. I cannot use offense as an excuse to love anyone less than I ever have. The cycle of hated is offense, then betrayal and ending in hatred according to the scripture. Many allow their love to wax cold. This waxing cold is the process of heating up and cooling off repeatedly. This process evaporates much of the contents. Spiritually, people allow things to offend them and they are cooled off and are reduced to less than they were until they have lost all substance of power and the fire of the Holy Ghost. We are instructed to love one another with a pure heart fervently. When we participate in activities that lessen our love, we are pulled down to the level of destruction that destroys others as we destroy ourselves. Love is stronger than death. Those who have allowed their love for God and others to be compromised become an empty shell. They become powerless pawns that their passions move at their pleasure. It has always hurt to love as Jesus taught us to love. It crucified him to love the ungrateful and betrayers. His unconditional love for all of humanity placed him far above all the powers that would pull him down. This same kind of love will lift us above the force fields of hated and offense that would pull us down.

The enemy has come to offer you his rewards on the platters of compromise. Remember that I have sent you to be a testimony of my power and my glory. Remember that you are my witnesses and not the witnesses of the enemy. Compromise is a deadly tactic of the enemy. It is aligned against my warriors to distract them from my goodness and mercy in order to smite from the back. Remember that compromise is a deadly enemy, not a harmless game or entertainment. Every spirit of the darkness is armed with the weapons of compromise.

The enemy has come to offer me his rewards on the platters of compromise. I keep in mind that God has sent me to be a testimony of his power and his glory. I remember that I am his witness and not the witness of the enemy. Compromise is a deadly tactic of the enemy. It is aligned against God's warriors to distract them from his goodness and mercy in order to smite from the back. I know that compromise is a deadly enemy, not a harmless game or entertainment. Every spirit of the darkness is armed with the weapons of compromise.

RE: RHEMA - The Realness and the Power of the Ministry of Angels On Our Behalf

Ministering spirits sent to the heirs of the covenant and kingdom are all about us and more than we recognize. We look for wings when the scripture describes them more like us in human form. They can take the form of anything; however, we must be certain to be aware of their constant presence. They do not leave and come back because they are CONSTANTLY beholding the face of God for us. God's word has been carried in the form of Rhema to more than Mary. His word has been set before us at the table where angels are the servers. In the midst of a time when many will not hear the word of the Lord, there is abundance for the children. Tables are set in the kingdom filled with every variety and need. Answers and directions are the common variety among the assorted multitude of fare that is set before us. All the forces of the enemy that would war against us will be flooded by the powerful angelic forces that have been assembled on our behalf. Cries of disclaimers fill the smog of unbelief, but the winds of prophecy that cleared the air and gave life to an ancient bone yard will clear the atmosphere of the fear and unbelief that would rain down on us in this hour. Words of those who would discredit the word that God has so abundantly given will be consumed by the very leanness that pervades their soul.

The tracks that you have made in the past are merely “Footprints In the Forest.” You have only just begun the journey that you going on.

25. If these are footprints in the forests, then what tracks will you make in the wide open spaces of my love and provision?

I have brought unto you plenteous redemption.

26. Why offer shallow redemption to others when I have given you plenty?
