The Handwriting on the Wall of Your Mind
by Ernest Angley
August 2002
Today the Lord is writing on the wall of the minds of the bridal company, and the Bride is eager to know all the Spirit is saying. Seven different times in the book of Revelation the Lord said, He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches (Revelation 2:7,11,17,29; 3:6,13,22). The Lord was speaking to the Church in John the Revelator’s day, and the Lord is saying the same to you today: Listen to what the Spirit is saying and look to His Word.
God’s greatness visible to us today will become increasingly more clear as time goes on. In all living reality, the Holy Spirit is dealing with each mind in the bridal company. God is writing on the walls of your mind daily to bring His greatness before you, to see that you recognize His greatness and turn it over and over in your mind.
The world today doesn’t have what you who are born again have. The only one who can read the writing of God on the wall of your mind is the Holy Spirit. He will let you know what’s there, what the Lord has for you today and in the days ahead to give you strength, power, and grace—everything you need in this last and final hour.
Because King Belshazzar had shut God out entirely, God wrote a message of doom for him on a wall in Babylon. Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand. Belshazzar, whiles he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, might drink therein. Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem; and the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, drank in them. They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone. In the same hour came forth fingers of a man’s hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the king’s palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote. Then the king’s countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another (Daniel 5:1-6).
Belshazzar had the astrologers—the devil’s crowd—brought in, and none of them could read the writing on the wall. Then Daniel stepped up with the interpretation.
Contrast the Writing
Contrast and compare the writing on Belshazzar’s wall with the writing on the walls of the Bride’s mind today. Daniel 5:26, MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it. Belshazzar was given a message of judgment, but to the Bride it’s a message of power, love, strength, greatness, and full assurance. Her message is filled with all the wonderful help that she needs to bring in the lost in this her final hour, to finish her work and get out of here. Through the power of the Holy Ghost, God’s hand is writing. God hath numbered your time, oh Bride of Christ; your days are numbered. Jesus is soon coming and will finish the Church Age with gladness and greatness.
TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting (Daniel 5:27). To Belshazzar, the king of disobedience, the Lord wrote this message. Today His message to the Bride: Thou art weighed on God’s love scales, oh Bride of Christ, and God is pleased. To know God is pleased gives the Bride more zeal and hope than ever before to keep the walls of her mind ready for anything the Lord wants to put there.
PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians (Daniel 5:28). Belshazzar’s kingdom was that very night divided and given to his enemies, the Medes and the Persians. But to the Bride God is saying: The Kingdom of God is yours; use it all and bring in the harvest. It’s all yours Bride of Christ.
Battles of the Mind
Romans 8:6, To be spiritually minded is life and peace. Although the Bride is spiritually minded, the devil is coming against her as never before to make a battleground out of each member’s mind. Over thirty years ago the Lord warned that this would happen: The most fiery battles in this endtime hour for God’s people will be the battles of the mind. Not being thrown into the den of lions like Daniel or cast into the fiery furnace like the Hebrew boys, the Bride will face her testing hour in the fiery battles of the mind.
Because the devil seeks to battle your mind, you must learn to give those battles over to the Holy Spirit. God gets no glory out of battles of the mind; they come strictly from the devil. In any way he can he seeks to get your attention, to take your mind off God, to rob you of the joy, peace, and gladness that the Lord has given to you.
Don’t let the devil worry you. Decide to turn your battles over to the Holy Spirit and to take on the burden for lost souls, for lost people who need God and can be brought to Him. Spend your time in the presence of the Lord instead of in mind battles.
To be spiritually minded is to have life and peace. Drink in the peace, love, joy, and hope that the Lord is writing on the wall of your mind, Child of God. Take in what the Lord is saying.
Pulling Down Strongholds
Second Corinthians 10:3,4, For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds). Through God you have power to pull down the strongholds of the devil as long as you don’t allow the devil to weaken you by getting your mind off the strength of God, by drawing you away from His strength.
Realize that the joy of the LORD is your strength (Nehemiah 8:10). Pull on the joy of the Lord; let no one get your attention to talk you out of God’s blessings of joy, peace, and strength for each day. When you don’t have the strength of the Lord, you become like a ship without a sail floundering in the storm raging in your mind. The Lord can’t help you because fear comes in to weaken your faith. Fear hath torment; it keeps you from using the peace and love of God that would cast it out. The Bible tells us that perfect love casteth out fear (I John 4:18). Use God’s perfect love.
Don’t pray for the Lord to take fear from you; rather open your mind to the Holy Spirit so He can flow the love of God into your soul, into your mind cup. The Holy Spirit flows the love of God into the mind, purges it as often as needed. As the love of God purges the mind, the Holy Spirit flushes out what is worrying you. On the wall of your mind the Lord can then write what He wants, say what He wants. He can place His thoughts in your mind for you to study, to look at again and again through your mind’s eye. The Word of God brings full assurance as the grace of God flows to you in unbelievable ways.
How marvelous it is to be a consecrated, born-again Christian enjoying the born-again benefits—and how surprising it is that many Christians don’t really enjoy those benefits. The Bride of Christ, however, will enjoy all His benefits in this final hour, all the greatness of the Lord; for God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind (II Timothy 1:7).
When you’re born again you don’t have the spirit of fear but of power—divine blood-power that protects your soul. Your soul is sealed by the Holy Spirit with the blood of Jesus. No one can break that seal but the one who owns the soul—you. The seal can’t be broken from the outside; there are not enough demons to break that seal of blood. To break that seal, you have to willfully sin against God, to open the door of your soul to the devil; you have to let him in.
You survive in this final hour by letting the Lord bring to your mind what He wants you to have. The mind is special to God; He doesn’t want it filled with condemnation. For so many thousands of years He has looked at condemnation in the hearts, the minds of people, hating what He has seen. And so He sent Jesus so that later this could be written on the walls of our mind: There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit (Romans 8:1). Isn’t that wonderful!
Recognize the False Accuser
The devil is a false accuser. For the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night (Revelation 12:10). The devil accuses you before God; and when God doesn’t believe him, the devil brings the accusation to you. Trying to make you feel condemnation, the devil tells you the Lord is displeased when that isn’t true at all. He will make you feel terrible even though you can’t think of anything you’ve done wrong. That old burden of condemnation can slip down over you as the devil whispers that you aren’t really saved; you’ve lost out.
If you’ve done something wrong you would remember it, so don’t let the devil trouble you when you’re innocent; don’t let him bring false condemnation. God is the one who condemns; and there is absolutely no condemnation from the Lord when you are in Christ Jesus, walking in the Spirit. With a spiritual mind you walk in the Spirit.
When you’re spiritually minded you have a mind to believe in, to listen to, to take direction from, to be taught and comforted by the Spirit. How wonderful is the spiritual mind! It’s a mind the Holy Ghost can delight in and manifest the greatness of God through. The Holy Ghost loves a mind like that.
Reject Thoughts the Devil Brings
Never let the devil shake your mind. However, if you aren’t yielded to the Holy Spirit, then the evil one seeks to fill your mind cup with whatever he can get you to accept. When the devil has the opportunity to give you doubt he will do just that. He would love to give you fear concerning your salvation, concerning your walk with God. The devil frightens some of you, making you think you’re lost when you’re not. You may think, “Oh my God, where’s my salvation? I lost it while I slept!” I’ve never heard of people backsliding in their sleep, but the devil will make you think it’s so if you wake up in feelings instead of faith.
Whatever the devil can slip into a mind to contaminate it, he uses. With contamination in your mind, you’re not mentally healthy, not strong. The joy of the Lord is your strength; but when you don’t use His joy, you feel weak and helpless.
The mind is not sealed with the blood. I wish it could be. It would be wonderful if the mind could be sealed away from bad thoughts or sad thoughts, wonderful if you would never experience anything but happy, heavenly thoughts. The mind will be like that in Heaven, but in the meantime the devil can get to your mind. If you think he can’t, then you’re deceived. If you think the devil is not getting to your mind at any time, that he can’t say anything to you at all, then you’ve accepted a lot of things he’s saying. Maybe you feel you’re thinking them up, for the devil is sly.
When a bad thought comes to your mind, use the blood. God gives you a sound mind to use whatever is in His Book. A sound mind of power and love uses the things of God. Without God’s power and love you will never have a sound mind in the Lord, a mind of blood power.
The devil putting one of his thoughts into your mind will tell you that you might as well go ahead and act it out since you thought of it. It’s a lie of the devil. Never caress or embrace any thought from the devil. Perhaps you’re not about to act that thought out, but the devil will keep buzzing around with it, making you think you can’t do anything about it. However, if you get angry enough with him you can. Use the Word of God and swat down that thought in a hurry. Then go on with a mind of peace, gladness and joy. Isn’t that simple?
Stand Fast in Christ
As the Bride yields her spiritual mind to the Holy Spirit, she recognizes the endtime signs before her. She sees the promise of the soon return of the Lord, and that promise gives her strength to go on.
God’s endtime signs do not depress the Bride; they give her joy unspeakable because she knows that the one she loves, the one she adores is soon coming. It’s wonderful to know that the Rapture is so near! Much hope, strength, and gladness are in that knowledge.
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage (Galatians 5:1). Are you standing fast with the liberty of faith and love in the grace of Jesus Christ? There is much liberty in His grace, much freedom to think the way God wants you to think—wonderful thoughts, great thoughts with freedom to shoot down bad thoughts.
Liberty comes through the Spirit of God. In the Holy Spirit is liberty to know that God is God, to know the greatness of Him, to know that you’re walking with Him. Through the blood of Jesus is freedom to know you have this wonderful fellowship: He walks with you, talks with you, and tells you that you are His very own. The Lord is putting these great things on the wall of your mind daily, but the devil is trying to erase them, trying to frustrate you in unbelievable ways, trying to get your mind on anything that he can torment you with to keep you from being with God hour after hour in your mind. The Lord wants your mind to be on Him, on His love, faith, grace, strength, power, and all His directions. Not only for one day, but for all the days ahead that direction is to be there. What vision, what liberty there is to see beyond, knowing God’s prophecies will all be fulfilled! Where the Spirit of God is there is liberty. Direct all your anger, I say again, to the devil.
Know what liberty means, what liberty is like in the Lord. We have liberty to make decisions with Him, to have Him in on all our business deals. If you include the Lord in everything, you have liberty; but if you don’t, bondage is the result. Despair, oppression, fear, and discouragement are not liberty. Those things belong to the devil. No bondage will be in Heaven.
The first thing God gave man when He made him was the intelligence to think on the things of God, to have the faith of God, to use His love and greatness. Rejecting the knowledge of God brings disaster—it did in the days of Noah. Except for the Noah family, every thought of the people was evil, and God couldn’t stand it; He destroyed all but eight souls.
It’s a Narrow Way
Some people think everyone is going to Heaven, but that isn’t true. The Lord Jesus said when He was here that only a few would be saved, only a few would go through that strait gate and walk the narrow road. Strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it (Matthew 7:14). The devil has deceived many into thinking God will excuse sin and unrighteousness, that they’ll either make the Rapture or else go to Heaven by way of the grave. Not so! No sin will ever enter Heaven.
All the things of God needed to make the mind like God wanted it to be were in the mind of Jesus. The Bible tells us to let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus (Philippians 2:5). That doesn’t mean you must get rid of your flesh mind; it means you can take on the many things that made up the mind of Christ.
Galatians 5:25, If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Living in the Spirit, you wear the shoes of Jesus; and you know how beautiful it is to live and walk in the Spirit.
Ephesians 5:8, Walk as children of light. Not walking in the night, children of God are unafraid of the darkness coming on the earth. Although many hearts are failing through fear of things that are taking place today—not our hearts. Our minds are spiritual minds thinking as God thinks. God gives us His wonderful thoughts, and through those thoughts we have an outlook on life different from the outlook of the world. We are at peace; our life is not in an uproar. No matter the storms that are raging, we can steal away with the Lord; we have His calm, His peace on the inside as we settle down in His presence. The handwriting on the wall is ours to read and hold dear.
“I Am with You Always”
The divine hand of God is writing for you today, telling you many things, telling you that you are indeed loved by Heaven, that your journey will soon be over; for, remember, King Jesus is coming. The Lord has much laid up for you, much in store.
Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world (Matthew 28:20). Jesus is with you. The devil will tell you that He isn’t, that you don’t feel Him. But if you look, you will see that His faith-hand has written on the wall of your mind: I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee (Hebrews 13:5). What comfort!
You who are sick and afflicted: Look to God’s promise: I am the LORD that healeth thee (Exodus 15:26). Take His promise of healing into your spirit so the Lord can place it on the wall of your mind for you to keep always.
The Bible tells us in II Thessalonians 2:2, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. The devil shakes many people, makes them forget the blessings and promises of God. Every promise you need will be put on the wall of your mind right at the time you need it if you walk in the love and peace of God, walk in His divine will.
The Early Church Set the Example
The Early Church accomplished much for God because His promises were written on the walls of their mind. When they were persecuted as martyrs, they sang and praised God. Burning at the stake, they glorified God as long as they could utter a sound. They praised the Lord because not only was the reality of His salvation in their souls, it was written on the walls of their minds. Even in the most severe trials and persecutions, they kept wonderful thoughts of God, caressed them, hugged them close.
As it was with the Early Church, so is it with the Bride today in this her final hour. She is more and more able, saith the Lord, to yield her mind completely, to take on the mind of Christ and the things that made up His mind. With the mind of Christ, she will not be shaken.
When you know you have salvation and your soul is filled with the love, the power, and the greatness of God, you don’t let the devil shake your soul. All that God has placed into your soul must be brought out of the soul to flow into the mind. That little mind cup needs to be filled again and again, and the Holy Spirit is the one to flow the greatness of God from your soul into your mind. When you yield to the Holy Spirit, He keeps that cup full.
Use Temper against the Father of Lies
Does your temper explode at the wrong times? If you don’t have control over your mind, you find yourself in trouble again and again. A sound mind is one with self-control. God can do wonders with a person full of temper and a sound mind. With the power from Heaven, use that temper on the devil instead of people; get mad at the devil.
How long has it been since you got mad at the devil? Have you been on speaking terms with him? He won’t talk to you a lot unless you believe him.
Don’t speak to the devil; don’t listen to him. You can’t believe anything he says; he’s a liar and the father of lies. He can’t stand the faith of God; and if you don’t believe the devil, you believe God.
It’s time to move, time to give your mind over to the One who paid the price for it. Adam sold every man, woman, boy and girl’s mind and soul to the devil; but Jesus came and bought it all back, thank God! Jesus is everything you need. Wake up and hear the Master say, Come and dine. The blessings of God are on the table; take a cup of joy and peace.
Carry God’s Glory in Your Mind
Look for the glory of God on the wall of your mind; carry that glory with you; carry His praises in your mind, the wonderful thoughts of the Lord. Fall asleep thinking of the greatness of God, rejoicing that Jesus is soon coming and you’re helping to bring in the harvest. You are blessed; you are blessed; you are blessed! The world is looking for luck, but luck is not related to us. We don’t have one speck of luck in our blood; we are blessed.
Avoid Superstition
People do silly things because of superstitions; they spill salt and then waste more by throwing salt over their shoulder. Some people are afraid to open an umbrella in the house because they think it might bring bad luck. They don’t spin a chair around on one leg—that’s bad luck. If they break a mirror, they expect to have seven years of bad luck. See what the devil has done to people? Yet some Christians are influenced by superstition; a black cat will run in front of them, and they detour two blocks out of their way so they can tell themselves that the black cat really didn’t run in front of them. But he did run in front of them; it was done. If you don’t have any more sense than to believe a black cat will give you bad luck, you deserve to be afraid of it. Is that a sound mind? The condition of the minds of some people is pathetic. Superstition is a tool of the devil, and he uses it whenever he can. The little foxes spoil the vines with things that look insignificant.
Are you superstitious about anything? Some people believe that if they start out and find they have to turn back it’s bad luck. They may call it bad luck, but they’ve just lost time; that’s all. It might even have been a blessing keeping them out of a wreck had they gone on. If indeed they had had a wreck, they would have wished they had gone back.
Who wants luck? I want to be blessed. I never say, Lord, make me lucky; it’s: Lord bless me. Is it blessed are ye, or lucky are ye? Did Jesus say lucky are ye? If you have the Jesus mind you’re not going to be talking about luck. God doesn’t give luck; He gives blessings.
It’s time to let the Lord write blessings on the wall of your mind; not luck—blessings. No wonder people are in so much trouble considering the things the devil can use to get their attention. We’re not lucky; we’re blessed by Heaven, blessed by God, blessed by His greatness; and it’s time to reach up to Him.
Make a Joyful Noise
What’s on that mind of yours? Some people won’t give their mind over to the Lord for Him to bless them. They can’t praise the Lord aloud and feel good about it. But the Bible says, Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD (Psalm 150:6). Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands (Psalm 100:1). The Lord likes even a noise if it’s a joyful one. It’s time to praise the Lord. Have a mind to rejoice and praise Him, a mind to be happy, a mind to look to the Lord and pull down Heaven.
You can pull hell up, or you can pull Heaven down: Which do you want? Some people pull hell up and then grumble, complain and think God has forgotten them. But they pulled hell up by giving over to the things of the devil, letting the devil talk to them.
God’s Property
Decide to get that mind wall ready to give over to the Holy Spirit every day. On a sanctified mind, a godly mind wall, the Lord can write anything. It’s His wall; you have given it to Him, dedicated it to Him. What you give to the Lord is His property; the devil has no right to it. Let the Lord have what belongs to Him; give that mind over.
The Lord will never put anything in your mind but something good and wonderful, something that will edify, bless, help and strengthen you to pray in faith. His good faith, His great love, strength, and power are all yours. The Lord promised these things to you; and it’s time to shout Hallelujah over it, time for you to say: Lord, it’s all mine! I want your power; I want your greatness, and I want your Spirit bubbling in my soul!
When Jesus came into your heart, you gave your mind so completely over to the Spirit that you loved, loved, loved; believed, believed, believed. You were a new creation in Christ Jesus, and it was so fantastic, so wonderful you hardly knew how to express yourself. You were truly happy in the Lord. If you have lost that first love, now is the time to find it again.
Look up; take hold of the horns of the altar. Realize that the divine blood of Jesus is living reality. Remind yourself of the power in the blood that the Holy Spirit will bring to you. Don’t waste time on the devil by thinking his thoughts; resist him by thinking God thoughts. The Lord is ready to think through that mind of yours; He’s ready to bless you, to help you in prayer. How wonderful to be in His presence as the Holy Spirit pours forth, to be in the very presence of God, right there with Him! The Lord is wonderful, and His promises are yours.
The Lord wants you to be happy. Are you a happy child of God today or are you a weak one whom the devil pushes around? Are you thinking right today—Heaven right? Is your mind on the grace of God, the power of God? Who are you in Christ Jesus? Does the coming of the Lord excite you, fill you with joy? Are you listening for the cry, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him (Matthew 25:6)? What are you thinking about? It’s time to bring to mind all those good things that will bless you, help you, edify you and lift you up. Don’t picture yourself as a failure or a defeated one.
No Defeat in Christ
Do you have Jesus? There’s no defeat in Jesus, and so you can’t be defeated if you have Him and are completely yielded to Him. Jesus freely gave Himself for you; the Lord is yours and you are His—rejoice and be glad! Decide from now on to have the right thoughts, to use the power of God. His greatness belongs to you; it’s willed to you. He left it all to you, all you can use, all you need. Every promise of God is yours.
The New Testament is the Lord’s will for you. It’s His will for you to have joy unspeakable and to be full of glory, to have power from On High and a sound mind. It’s not God’s will for you to think weak thoughts; it’s His will for you to think on His greatness.
It doesn’t matter what you’re going through. Joseph suffered much, but on the wall of his mind the Lord wrote much. It was the same way with Moses. Go back into the Old Testament and see how those special men of God gave their minds over to the Lord and what a difference it made.
What Kind of God Do You Carry?
What kind of God do you carry around in that mind of yours? What kind of God do you have? Do you have the Almighty One, the Eternal One? If so, you have nothing to fear, nothing to worry about. He doesn’t give minds of fear; He gives minds of faith, faith, faith. His mind of faith is yours; it belongs to you, and you have nothing to fear. Look on the wall of your mind and see: Nothing to fear, nothing to worry about.
When the devil came to Jesus, God the Father had written on the wall of Jesus’ mind, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God (Matthew 4:4). It is written…Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God (Matthew 4:7). It is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve (Matthew 4:10). The Lord Jesus simply used what the Father gave Him, and that’s all we have to do—use the Word of God.
Speak His Word; the Early Church went everywhere preaching Jesus. Jesus was written on the walls of their minds.
A Mantle of Power
Oh Bride, you are loved, you are blessed, you are treasured; and as Enoch of old pleased God, you’re pleasing the Lord. You don’t have to worry about the Rapture. Enoch didn’t worry about the Rapture; the Lord took care of getting him out of here, and the Lord will take care of getting you out of this old world.
Elijah had the mantle of power; when he came to Jordan, he split the waters wide open. Elijah didn’t die; he went right on through Jordan and was raptured.
The Bride’s not going to die; she has the mantle of Jesus, the power of Jesus; and she, too, is going to split the waters of death’s chilly tide wide open, go across and be raptured. Death will have no power over her. Jesus said, Because I live, ye shall live also (John 14:19).
The Bride has come into abundant life. We used to hear about it, talk about it, wonder and ponder over it; but now we’re in it. Abundant life is yours. The handwriting on the wall is saying, Come and dine; the table is full! The Holy Spirit is giving you the call: Come, it’s all yours! This is no time to be depressed, oppressed; no time to have doubt or fear. It’s time to glory in the love of God, time for the rivers of living water to flow from your innermost being. The Lord gives you wonderful foretastes of Heaven so that you can have those rivers flowing.
Give Your Mind to Jesus
Many things the Lord wants to write on the walls of your mind; give your mind over to Him so He can. On the great mind of Jesus, the Father could write anything He wanted. If you give your mind entirely to the Lord, it becomes His property just like your soul belongs to Him; and then He will write on the walls of your mind. If He fills up one wall and you need another wall filled, He’ll do that, too; and the Holy Spirit will be the teacher. If you don’t understand what God is telling you, don’t understand His directions, look to the Holy Spirit as your guide, your teacher.
Some of the wonderful things Jesus did and taught are recorded for us, but John said, There are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written (John 21:25). Jesus lived a great, fruitful life; He was the Son of God. Now we have become sons and daughters of God, and it’s time for us to yield all to the Holy Spirit, time to give over to Him.
Don’t let people drag you down with their opinions. Don’t let them hinder you, make you doubt your experience with the Lord or doubt the Rapture. Doubt nothing God is doing for you: Believe it all. You have the faith Book and its promises are true. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away (Matthew 24:35). Heaven and Earth will pass away, but God is declaring on the walls of your mind that His Word will abide forever; live in His Word.
Love Letters from the Lord
Greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world (I John 4:4). Why should you fear the devil? Why should you fear what’s in the world? Why should you fear anything around you? Greater is He that is in you is the handwriting on the wall of your mind.
You as a member of the bridal company will have beautiful love letters from the Lord written on the walls of your mind. It isn’t enough to have His love in your heart, in your soul; His love must be a reality in your mind as well. The handwriting on the walls of your mind tells you that the Holy Spirit will flow the love of God to your mind daily, that you can have your mind flushed any time of anything that would interfere in accepting that love. God has filled your soul with His perfect love—a whole river of love. Why not let it flow? A great river of love flowing through your mind will wash away everything unlike God.
Look up and see the handwriting on the wall: There’s no defeat in Jesus Christ. The devil may be trying to make you think you are defeated, but watch the nail-riven hand writing for you: We are more than conquerors through him that loved us (Romans 8:37). You have nothing to fear.
The Lord told the disciples that the Holy Spirit will shew you things to come (John 16:13). Oh Bride, you’re seeing things to come; you’re seeing God’s tomorrow. God is telling you that on His tomorrow you’ll need His anointings, His greatness, His power, His love, and His grace. If you can’t read all the handwriting, if you can’t interpret all of it, remember that you have one greater than Daniel; you have the Holy Ghost Himself, the third person in the Trinity of the Godhead, to show you what’s there.
Jesus Sent the Holy Ghost
Jesus said, It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you (John 16:7). The disciples didn’t understand how they possibly could have another teacher as great as Jesus, but the Holy Ghost was to be that great teacher within them day and night. You, too, can give your mind over to the teacher you carry in your soul; and He will teach you.
It’s wonderful to see the bridal company coming together in such an amazing way. In the presence of the Lord, in the liberty of the Spirit, the Bride is guided by the Spirit of truth. You don’t have to worry about getting into false doctrine or the spirit of error as long as you stay with the Spirit of truth. Walk in the truth; live in the truth; abide with the truth; agree with the truth; use the truth, and you’ll have Heaven’s freedom.
Oh Bride of Christ, the greatness of God is yours. What favor you have! The lions are in the street, but what does it matter? You have power over them. The Bride of Christ goes forth with the Word, goes forth with the power of Jesus. Use the Word; use His name. The handwriting on the wall tells you that the Word and the name of Jesus are all you need to know, for the Holy Spirit will help you to use them. Jesus said, In my name shall they cast out devils…they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover (Mark 16:17,18). In the name of Jesus it will be done.
The Comforter Came
Jesus said, I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you (John 14:16,17). When he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth (John 16:13). The Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you (John 14:26). In the Upper Room, the disciples received the Comforter.
And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance (Acts 2:1-4). The Holy Ghost descended and filled about one hundred twenty people who were waiting in the Upper Room for power from On High. They went into one mind and one accord with the Lord, and the Lord could write anything on the walls of their minds that He desired. He could direct them, tell them what He wanted, give them a message at any time. He didn’t have to work for days and days to get into them; they were in one mind with Him.
The Lord has had to work for days, weeks, months and even years to get into many; but now the Bride of Christ has come into His greatness, and the Lord doesn’t have to work day and night to get into her; He can speak to her anytime. Your attitude as a member of the Bride is: Speak, Lord, your servant is listening to what the Spirit is saying.
Jesus Is Coming Again
On the wall of your heart, see that Jesus is soon coming. The handwriting says, Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh (Matthew 24:44). We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye (I Corinthians 15:51,52). What encouragement; what strength! How could you be discouraged and depressed when you have on the shoes of Jesus? The Lord is writing on the wall: Look down; see the shoes of my Son. The great power, the great joy that He used is all yours, the power to trample devils underfoot. My ears are open to your prayers just as they were opened to my Son. He knew He could call me anytime, and so can you; all you have to do is use His name. Read the handwriting on the wall: Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need (Hebrews 4:16).
Never be afraid of the handwriting on the wall. You’re not a Belshazzar. Saved, baptized in the Holy Spirit, you’re a member of the Bridal Company; and you’re on Earth at the greatest time ever.
Take Away the Stone
Turn loose of all the stones of unbelief, despair, and doubt. They will pen you up in a tomb, a cold, lonely, dark place. Jesus wrote on the wall of the mind of Lazarus’ sister, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? Lazarus, come forth (John 11:40,43)! When Lazarus saw the handwriting on the wall, he came forth. He didn’t wait for someone to help him; bound in his graveclothes, Lazarus walked out of the tomb. Loose him, and let him go (John 11:44), Jesus said.
Look again at the handwriting: Take ye away the stone (John 11:39). That’s what the Lord is saying to you today, oh Bride: Take away the stone and see the glory. If you’re not seeing the glory it’s because you haven’t moved away the stone of hindrance. It’s time to move it; the Lord gave you power to roll away the stone. When you roll away that stone you have victory.
The Lord never tells you to do something you can’t do. Anything the Lord writes on your mind is just as powerful as that judgment message given to King Belshazzar. What was on his wall was fulfilled exactly because it was written with the hand of truth.
The hand of Gospel truth is writing on the walls of the Bride’s mind today. The Bride has taken on the mind of Jesus, a mind that can hear from Heaven anytime, be in contact with Heaven all the time. The mind of the Bride receives the things of God instead of rejecting them; the Bride knows the way of the Lord, knows His paths, and sees the footprints of Jesus.
Claim Your Heritage
It’s wonderful to have direction when so many people have none and can’t find which way to turn. Without Jesus you won’t know your way; but if you have Jesus, you have answers. His nail-riven hand will write for you whenever you give Him the walls of your mind. Give Him the space, the faith, the love, the obedience, and the humility for the messages; and they will come. You who wait upon the Lord will get answers; you will not be disappointed as God reveals His power and glory.
It’s time to move, Children. It’s time to stop letting the devil fool with your mind. He has no right to God’s property, no right to steal any of your joy, to be in your mind or to write anything on those walls.
It’s your heritage as a child of God not to have depression, not to let the devil be in any part of your mind. God has given you great strength in the mind, oh Bride of Christ, if you’ll use it. With the Holy Spirit abiding in your soul, you have the power of God to use those thoughts that God puts in your mind against the devil.
The Lord’s Prisoner
Jesus Christ lives and dwells on the inside of you. Paul said, It’s not I that liveth, but Christ liveth in me (Galatians 2:20). On the wall of Paul’s mind were the words: Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ (Ephesians 3:1). Paul wasn’t the prisoner of man; he was the prisoner of Jesus Christ, and he wasn’t in despair.
Why should you be in despair if you’re the Lord’s prisoner? You would be better off in the lions’ den with the Lord than outside without Him. You’re better off inside the fiery furnace with the Fourth Man than you’ll ever be outside looking in. Realize what is written on the walls of your mind: My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19). I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me (Philippians 4:13). You will be all right when you are with Jesus, whether you’re in the fiery furnace, the lions’ den, or the middle of the ocean with the waters heaped up on either side of you.
Take the Gospel to the Whole World
The Bride won’t be having nervous breakdowns; she will live and dwell in love. The whole earth will be covered with love for the Bride. The Lord told me He would pour out His Spirit like rivers that would turn into an ocean to cover the whole earth; then the end will come for the Bride. The Bride is going forth with God’s love, going forth to give the Gospel message of the Kingdom that has been written on the wall of her mind by the hand of God. She will tell the world about this; she will go into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature (Mark 16:15).
The disciples saw that “go ye” on the walls of their minds, and they didn’t count the cost. It didn’t make any difference what the price was; they were willing to pay. They took that go ye from the Lord, believed it and used it to its fullest.
Because some don’t want to do the will of God, they weaken and dilute His will with their own opinions, their own weak thoughts until no real divine strength is left. The Bride won’t be like that; she will keep God’s will and use it just like God gives it. Using the promises of God to their fullest she believes them all, accepts them all. Anything that comes from God, anything that’s wrapped up in a God package by the nail-riven hands belongs to her. Any blessing that comes through the blood belongs to the Bride. The handwriting on the wall of her mind is saying fear not, Let not your heart be troubled (John 14:1).
Oh Bride of Christ, you’re wonderful in all your ways; and you’re coming forth now—clear as the sun, fair as the moon—and what power you have! Terrible as an army with banners, you walk without fear; and the devil trembles before you in this last and final hour.
The Devil Can’t Erase the Blood
Unload everything from your mind that would hinder, everything that would keep you from reading the writing on the wall of your mind from the Lord. Stop listening to the devil; let him write nothing. Always remember: If you don’t let the Lord write on the walls of your mind, the devil is going to write there.
Abundant life, a life of pure happiness, pure peace, pure goodness and mercy is written on the walls of your mind in the blood of Jesus, that all-powerful blood. That’s the ink the Lord uses—divine blood—and the devil can’t erase it, can’t steal it. Thank God Almighty you can be happy and free!
Oh Bride, you are loved. You have the song in the night, a song of peace, joy and gladness. It’s a song of going home, of being loved, of overcoming power. Your whole song is spelled out on the wall: Sing it; use it; dine with it; live with it, and caress it. Leave all the stiffness of the world behind and live in the Spirit. Get rid of all earthly “dignity” and take on the dignity of Heaven. Then you won’t be afraid to shout Hallelujah! or to cry Glory! You won’t care who hears you. It’s wonderful to be able to praise God, enjoy His blessings, feel liberty in the Spirit of God to say what God wants you to say wherever He wants you to say it.
Salvation and Healing Are Offered You
If you don’t have Jesus in your heart, pray this prayer with me for your soul’s salvation. Oh, God, I am lost! I am so sorry that I sinned against you, but I have come home. I’m going to serve you, Lord, the rest of my life. I believe the blood of Jesus washes away all of my sins, all of them! Come into my heart, Jesus! Come in, Jesus!
If you meant that prayer, He has come into your heart. Praise the Lord, He is yours! It’s wonderful to know you belong to the Lord. Read your Bible, pray, fast and go on to receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit. Be ready when Jesus comes for His Bride: victorious and made glorious through the glorious blood of Jesus, through the glorious love and compassion of Him.
Look on the wall of your mind and find these words: I am Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to-day, and for ever (Hebrews 13:8). He is your healer; why are you worried about that disease? He is the healer of your diseases, the healer of your afflictions. Decide that cancer has to go today. Decide that diabetes has to leave your body because you have the right kind of mind to believe it to leave. The Lord is writing in faith on the wall of your mind; but the devil is trying to torment you, trying to make you think you’re going to die, that you’ll never get well. Don’t accept it. Read again what the Lord is writing: I am the LORD that healeth thee (Exodus 15:26).
I am your Lord, He is saying to you, your power, your healer, your greatness; no power can stand before me. Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me (Jeremiah 32:27)? Do you think something is too hard for God? He has never seen anything too hard for Him. He is the One who held back the waters of an entire sea with the breath of His nostrils and created a highway right through it. With the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea (Exodus 15:8). What a God He is!
Time to Receive
It’s time to receive from the Lord, time to reason with God. It’s His will to heal you; with the blood stripes of Jesus you can have healing and deliverance today. Death may be all around you, and suddenly deliverance can come. I faced death one time years ago; I knew I only had a short while to live. It seemed that no matter what I said to God, He wasn’t going to heal me. I knew I was saved, but why wouldn’t He heal me; why would He let me die? I didn’t know why, and my condition was growing worse instead of better. Then it happened—all at once it took place: I got my miracle. When the Lord came to me that night, the boy, who had thought he was going to die, suddenly knew without a doubt he was going to live—and that was a wonderful feeling! That’s the reason I have so much hope and faith for people. It doesn’t matter the condition you’re in; I know that God is God. He’s on the Throne; He has the power, the love and the will to heal you.
The Lord has given many promises to cover everything that may be wrong with you today. Just unload your burden of sickness and decide you’re going to live.
I am here, saith the Lord, I am here moving for you. I am here to help you. I am here to deliver you. I am here to give you my great love. I am here to give you my great peace. I am here to make my promises real to your spirit, saith the Lord.
Ask what you will. You who are troubled in any way, let the Lord clear all that out so He can write the things you need on the wall of your mind. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid (John 14:27). Any disease, any affliction you have, turn it over to the Holy Spirit. Anything you haven’t been able to defeat, anything you haven’t been able to overcome, any problem you haven’t been able to solve, turn it all over to the Lord now.
This is your hour of visitation; this is your hour of greatness; take whatever you need from the hand of God and be thou made well, be thou made whole. All those diseases, all those afflictions, by faith put them under the blood just like you put your sins under the blood. The blood is sufficient. With his stripes we are healed (Isaiah 53:5).
I’m not a healer; Jesus is the healer. I’m a believer in the promises of healing in the Word of God. With His blood stripes you can have healing today.
If healing is your need or the need of your child, let me pray with you now: Lord, I bring the sick and afflicted to you. Lay a healing hand on those with cancer, those with heart trouble, the diabetics, the crippled ones, the paralyzed ones, the little deformed babies, those with AIDS or any kind of disease or affliction. So many times, Lord, you have healed people with those conditions. We know you will do it again. You are our Master and Lord. Heal! in the holy, holy name of Jesus! And with His stripes, His blood stripes, we are healed.
Let His power work in your body by not doubting, by giving total obedience to the Lord, by submitting yourself completely to His Word daily. Walk hand in hand with the nail-riven hand and watch you or yours get well. He promised, and He keeps His promises.
Don’t you feel like shouting now? Don’t you feel a bit like flying? Don’t you feel light in the Spirit? Don’t you feel as though you could pray a hole in the sky just any time? Don’t you feel you could reach out and get armfuls of the power of God to use against the devil? Through the eyes of faith, see God’s great mountains of love, grace and power. You’re not closed in by any powers of the devil, by anything that the devil is saying. No, you’ve decided this is your hour, your hour of peace, gladness and joy. You’re walking with Jesus, talking with Jesus; and you are victorious. You have all the latest news from Heaven written on the wall of your mind. You’re keeping your eyes and ears wide open; you’re listening to what the Spirit is saying, and it’s victory in Jesus, power in the blood of the Lamb.
It’s time to move, to be happy, to stay happy and to let the world know you’ve found the fountain that never runs dry. You’ve found the wells of living water, and you’re drawing with gladness, pouring it out to the people. Everybody come, get a drink and live forever! Isn’t that a great message to be carrying to the world? Jesus said, Whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst (John 4:14). We have that water, and we have something to draw with: our faith, love, and the fire of the Holy Ghost.
It’s time to enjoy God. It’s time to enjoy the Word of the Lord, what He is saying, what He is thinking. Give your mind over to Him and let the Lord write whatever He wants on the wall. It’s His message for you: Believe every word; use every word the Lord has written and is writing. The thoughts of God belong to us.
We are taking His Gospel to the world. It is written on the walls of our mind: Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature (Mark 16:15). We will not fail; we will not fail: It is written!
