The Keeping Power for the Mind
Volume 1 The Keeping Power for the Mind
by Ernest Angley
January 1992
God has given me endtime messages for the Bride of Christ in this her final walk, her last hour. Treasure each message, for God is the giver, and He knows just what the Bride must have.
Many, claiming God’s peace for the soul, have allowed the devil to torment their minds with despair and fear. Because their minds have been in such turmoil, they have been unable to enjoy the greatness of God in their souls. This has produced many unhappy Christians, troubled people as they carried unnecessary burdens; it has caused rocky paths, much confusion and even nervous breakdowns. They have not learned the keeping power of God for the mind, only for the soul.
When the keeping power for the mind is not put into action, frustrated Christians struggle in their prayer life, in fasting, in reading the Word of God. Not recognizing the keeping power of the Lord for the mind will put a wall between you and the fullness of God’s blessings in your life.
The Lord let me know that people must be aware of what they can have, what belongs to them for the mind as well as for the soul when they have been born new. Calvary includes deliverance for the whole person, but not much has been preached concerning the mind, the power of God for the mind, the keeping power. The mind, I say again, gives trouble when it’s not kept by the power of God. The Holy Spirit must be the keeper of the mind as well as the keeper of the soul. He keeps the mind with God’s peace.
The Lord has peace for the soul as well as for the mind. The born-again Christian who doesn’t use God’s peace for the mind will go to Heaven when he dies but be miserable en route.
Link the Mind and Soul to the Power of God
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). The keeping power of the peace of God will keep your mind as well as your heart. Link the mind and soul together with the power of God for this endtime hour. Great strength is found in His peace. The peace of God for the Bride is so important that the Lord made it one of the nine fruits of the Spirit; it’s essential for you.
Mind problems have tortured many Christians down through the ages. They could have been free, but the devil convinced them he had control over the mind, greater influence than God could handle.
Yes, the devil can get to the unprotected mind, but you have power from On High to put him to flight when Jesus is in your soul. No power is greater than the power of God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you (James 4:7). Use your mind to pull on the power in the Word of God hidden in your soul. Using the Word with your mind brings it right out of your soul.
People quickly identify themselves as children of God, but problems arise when their minds close out God’s fruit of peace. This isn’t a soul problem but a mind problem. In order to do all the work the Lord requires, you must recognize and have the remedy: the peace of God for the whole person.
A Reservoir of God’s Power
Open your eyes to the reality of what you have, to the reservoir of God’s power within you. The born-again are connected with Heaven night and day. Let your mind accept the fact that the same peace you have for your soul is meant to be in your mind also. Start using it. You have it; it’s yours in plentiful supply.
The soul of a born-again Christian is filled with the peace and love of God. The mind, through the power of the Holy Ghost, can draw on these benefits twenty-four hours around the clock. Like a well of spiritual water within that never runs dry, the power of God is in the soul waiting for you to draw on it. Looking other places for the peace available to you in your soul, you fail to draw on it. But if Jesus is in your heart, His peace is in you. Jesus said, Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid (John 14:27). He gives you His keeping power of peace; it’s a gift from God just like love and faith.
Consider What You Carry in Your Mind
Looking for peace in others will not bring God’s peace. Often people turn to loved ones and friends for peace. Some have family members who have never given them peace, and yet they continue to seek peace from them, trying to draw peace from human sources. The Lord didn’t tell you to find peace that way. Obey His directions; find peace from Him.
How long will you turn a deaf ear to what the Spirit is saying? Are you too troubled in your mind to recognize when the Spirit is talking to you? The Lord is trying to get through to you, whispering encouragement, peace and love, but your mind may be so cluttered that you don’t recognize His voice. You’ve been collecting thoughts that block the flow of God’s faith from your soul to your mind.
Consider all you carry in your mind and realize that it’s by the grace of God that you have come as far in the Lord as you have.
You who are troubled, the Lord has sent me with the remedy for you; and the Holy Spirit will help you use it, help you clean that mind out. You may not keep degraded thoughts on your mind—just thoughts that will not bring peace. Some thoughts cause more and more trouble the longer you allow them to remain. It’s time to be rid of excess mental baggage and to fill your mind with the mind of Christ.
Let Jesus Flood Your Mind
In this final hour God wants to use each member of the bridal company to spread the Gospel with the same dedication and fervor that Jesus used. For that to happen you must have the same love, the same peace, grace and faith that Jesus brought down from Heaven when He came. It’s all yours.
Remember the day your soul was filled with salvation? Feeling more like flying than walking, you thought you would be happy forever. The mind was so astounded that it cooperated with the Holy Ghost, and the peace that had landed in your soul flooded your mind. For days you thought of nothing but Jesus. That’s the reaction of the mind when salvation floods the soul and spills over into it. The soul filled with Jesus rejoices as He takes over the mind.
Don’t let either the enemy or people saturate your mind, pushing out God’s great benefits in your soul. Some of you will be happy until certain relatives come around, robbing you of the sunshine of God’s glory. Don’t allow it. Let the Lord shine out to lead you in meaningful conversation. Talk about the coming of the Lord; warn of Armageddon. If others would rather leave than listen to you, at least you will have peace. You gave them the message of the Lord, and the Holy Spirit will be shouting within that you did the right thing.
Holy Boldness
Use the holy boldness of the Early Church. They prayed for it: And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word, By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus. And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness (Acts 4:29-31). Their holy boldness was not a product of mixed-up minds. They decided what Heaven knew was more important than what people thought. Taking that insight and running with it, they stood against family, friends and foe alike who wouldn’t accept Jesus. That’s the reason they could have peace when no one else could, peace living and peace dying.
Heaven’s eternal peace belonged to the Early Church. Daily the fruit of peace produced in their souls flowed into their minds. There was no scarcity of it. Bursting to tell the news of Jesus, they were consumed with the greatness of Him. In the Acts of the Apostles, the theme is Jesus.
Ponder God’s Greatness
Reach out for the keeping power that will sustain your mind and soul in the realm of divinity. Ponder what is furnished you. Recognize that the greatness of God in your heart and soul is for your mind also, and realize you can become a different person, going forth free of unnecessary burdens. No longer overrun with despair and fear, you will not be fretting but shouting the praises of God in that soul of yours; and your mind will join in. Focus your mind on the greatness of God in your soul. You can do it—you have more control over your mind than you realize.
The soul cries for the Word of God. Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God (Matthew 4:4). If you keep your soul well fed on the Word of God, it in turn will feed your spirit and mind. However, by blocking off your mind from your soul, you will not use that great reservoir of God’s power in your soul.
If you knew you didn’t have peace in your soul, many of you would not rest until you found it; and yet you may have gone years without peace of mind. Think how many times you have climbed into bed troubled in mind and yet with peace in your soul. Why worry about peace when you have plenty of it? Use the peace in your soul; the Lord wants you to.
He Wasn’t Backslidden—He Was Depressed
Elijah thought he was ready to die. He himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers. And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise and eat. And he looked, and, behold, there was a cake baken on the coals, and a cruse of water at his head. And he did eat and drink, and laid him down again. And the angel of the LORD came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat; because the journey is too great for thee. And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God (I Kings 19:4-8). The Lord sent an angel to strengthen Elijah’s mind and to feed him. Elijah had plenty of God’s peace in his soul, but out in the wilderness under the juniper tree, it wasn’t reaching into his mind. Having just slain 450 prophets of Baal—Jezebel’s prophets—he fled when he heard Jezebel had vowed to kill him. Had Elijah only remembered the miracle-working power of God that was his, he could have used it on his mind. But he didn’t. He wasn’t backslidden; he was depressed.
The way the Lord looked after Elijah in that condition—sending an angel to prepare food and drink for him—should give us an inkling of how mightily the Lord is ready to move for the Bride of Christ in this last hour. All the Lord has done in the past He will do—and more—for the Bride.
Some, rather than trying to be rid of depression, take another dose of the poison that robs them of their peace of mind. Looking for sympathy, they visit people in worse shape mentally than they are. Talking about their miseries, they keep their troubles before their minds constantly. The other person retaliates with even worse problems. They push each other deeper into the pit of self-pity, despair and criticism. Their idea of being positive is criticizing a third party—“constructively,” of course.
When you’re depressed, don’t seek others in the same sinking boat. Call Heaven. Talk first to the Holy Spirit. He is a real person, and He will respond to you. Be frank. Tell Him you must be rid of your depression. You hate it; you know it grieves Him.
The Holy Spirit doesn’t need to bring additional peace to a child of God; reaching down into the soul, He brings up a big dipper of the peace already there and flows it over the mind. He will keep doing that until that one is fine. This will work if you believe it, but if you don’t believe it, no. Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth (Mark 9:23).
If your mind is working right, you accept the whole plan of God for you—not ninety-nine percent but one hundred percent. You accept salvation, the Resurrection and the Holy Ghost baptism. You accept the fact that you live in the last and final hour; you accept the certainty that Jesus is soon coming. Doubting none of God’s Word, you know that Armageddon is on the way. The Word of God is hidden in your soul so you will not sin against Him; you’re not battling in the mind. The Word keeps your mind adjusted, in tune with God. Listening for His voice, you know you are blessed, and that knowledge erases depression. You’re ready for the call of God.
It’s time to be a real Bible believer, believing the Lord all the time. The Bible tells us that to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace (Romans 8:6).
They Lost Eden
In the Garden of Eden, God made man and woman and gave them peace of mind. The children of God today who have peace of mind are the kind of people the Lord can walk with and enjoy. Sometimes the Lord cannot manifest Himself to you because your state of mind is locked on the cares of this life. Not because you are unrighteous, unholy, walking afar off from the Lord is He prevented from making Himself real to you; it’s because you won’t yield your mind to Him.
The mind can travel a million miles a minute on matters of the flesh, or it can travel straight to the things of God. Adam and Eve at one time had minds that went straight to God, minds that were yielded to Him, souls filled with Him. Their souls had room for nothing else but God. He was the most beautiful, pleasing, loving sight they had ever beheld. More than they delighted in all the glories in Eden, they enjoyed God. That was the kind of love God put into their hearts to flow through their minds.
It was a different story later when the devil entered the man and woman God had made, an ugly sight. God ceased to come down. Man was driven out of the Garden.
An Incredible Plan
As generations passed, the hearts of men desired evil continually. I’ll destroy everyone, God decided. But then He saw a family who loved Him, a family with minds that pondered the things of God. He couldn’t destroy minds like those. Their souls reached for knowledge of Him. The Lord went down to talk with Noah, and Noah was ready to listen. What he heard was the most unbelievable, incredible plan he could have imagined, and yet he believed it completely. Noah broke the news to his wife. Wife, he could have said, we’re going to build an ark. Just look how big it’s going to be. I’ve been drawing the plans. The Lord told me the exact dimensions. Because Mrs. Noah’s mind was yielded to the Lord, she believed him and helped. The children had the right kind of minds, too, and they pitched in.
Use God’s Peace
What kind of mind do you have? If you have Jesus in your soul, you can have peace in your mind, a spiritual, godly peace. Since you have peace, you would be misguided not to use it all the time. You have the victorious life, the faith life and the love life of Heaven.
Some Christians feel guilty if they experience too much peace. They think they aren’t carrying enough burdens. Everyone else around them is miserable, but not them. Now guilt enters. They’re sure they should be suffering more.
There is no reward for carrying unnecessary burdens. Peace, remember, is one of the fruits of the Spirit produced in your soul. Feeling guilty when the fruit of the Spirit is operating in your soul hinders the work God is trying to do in your life.
It must hurt the heart of God to see His fruit go to waste. All Heaven’s peace belongs to you as a child of God. You are connected with Heaven. How tragic when the mind fails to recognize what is in the soul! Peace in the soul satisfies the mind. The same peace that brings joy to the soul can bring it to the mind.
Enjoy the fruit of peace in your mind as well as in your soul. God’s people first need to enjoy Jesus in this hour if they are going to serve Him to others. If you don’t partake of all of Him you will not be able to serve all of Him. The whole Christ for the whole world in this last hour must be our cry.
Great peace have they which love thy law (Psalm 119:165). Great peace have you who love God’s Word, you who have given your heart to the Lord. You couldn’t love God’s Word and not love to please Him. Really being in love with God’s Word makes you a keeper of the Word.
Do you have as much peace in the spiritual realm as sinners have in the world? Do you worry more than they do? They may sleep well at night while you’re up walking the floor wondering what you’re going to do. Those who don’t live for the Lord are the ones who should rest uneasy, not the born-again Christian. Decide to use God’s peace in your soul. Do what you know to do, and then leave the problems in God’s hands.
When you give the Holy Spirit freedom to work within, the promises of Jesus come to life for you, and God will supply your needs.
Don’t You Want to Be Happy?
Have enough sense to draw from the soul what you need. Shine out with happiness in the Lord. Don’t let anything or anyone get you down. You’re happy in your soul; let that happiness flood up into your mind. Anytime you let the Lord use your mind when Jesus is in your soul, you will find happiness, peace. You must learn this. The Lord wanted me to bring this to you. I’m just giving you what the Lord gave me. Your part is to digest it and let it work. Don’t you want a happy mind as well as a happy soul? Then let your mind connect with your soul; let the happiness in your soul spill over into your mind. The mind affects the entire person, the whole body. When your mind is happy, you are happy through and through.
For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost (Romans 14:17). Who operates peace and joy? The Holy Ghost. How do we keep peace and joy? Through the Holy Ghost. This kind of peace, joy and righteousness is connected with the Holy Ghost. He is in your heart, in your soul; but never forget that His righteousness, peace and joy are for the mind, too.
The power of the Holy Ghost operates the soul, the real you, the part of you that can never, never die; it’s eternal like God Himself. The soul came from the breath of God. The love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us (Romans 5:5). The Holy Ghost will shed abroad God’s love in your mind, also, the peace, that which has come into the soul.
Follow the Things That Make Peace
Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another (Romans 14:19). Some people follow things which don’t make peace. Thinking they must be with punitive relatives, they visit and then go home upset. But they then return another day asking for more of the same. In other words, they follow after that which does not make peace. Following the things which make peace brings you peace in the Lord.
Speaking words that cannot edify is the same as giving out junk. Some people seem always to be carrying a garbage can with them, stench and all. What are you carrying?
You are either a blessing or a curse. By speaking words that do not edify others, you are cursing them, not following the things of peace, not blessing. If your words hinder their minds, their spirits, you are cursing. But when you bring people the latest news from Heaven, they won’t feel like telling you their gossip. The latest from the Lord is that Jesus is soon coming, the battle of Armageddon is on its way, and we’re getting out. We’re evangelizing the world, and Heaven is happy about it; angels are helping us. We’ve just heard from Heaven and everything is all right there.
Season Your Conversation
Be careful what you say. But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation (I Peter 1:15). Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man (Colossians 4:6). Season your conversation always with the grace of God. Ask yourself: Did I edify the person I was talking to? When you turn to leave, check with the Holy Spirit. Is that person blessed because I talked to him? Is that one encouraged? Did my words lift up, bring the person a little closer to the Lord? Did I help that one yield a little more to the Holy Spirit so the peace and love of God could be shed abroad in the heart and make real the greatness of God?
Let us follow after the things that make peace and edify others. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things (Philippians 4:8). Think on these things, and talk them. It’s the Word of God unto edification.
What do you talk about? Keep a record of your conversation for at least one week. Study it—when no one else is around. Have you talked about Jesus? Did you criticize another? If you chat about others very long, you probably will slip out something better left unsaid. Talk about Jesus. There is no fault to be found in Him. He is the perfect One, the incredible, loveable One.
How much did you talk about Jesus today? You say you can’t find anyone interested? Then it’s a good time to be alone with Him. Tell Jesus you love Him. He is wonderful. You not only love Him, you like Him. Tell the Lord you’re proud of Him, you’re glad He is with you. Speak words of edification to yourself.
Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ (Ephesians 5:19,20). Psalms and hymns were not written for God but for your edification. The Bible is yours, your meat. It’s profound. God made it possible for you to have it. He doesn’t need the Word for Himself; if man didn’t need it, it never would have been written. Man was meant to be a keeper of the Word, to read it again and again and keep it in his mind and soul.
Bathe Your Mind in God’s Realities
How much of God would you hold onto if every Bible in the world were taken away? How much of God do you have in your heart? Follow the things of God, the instructions He gives. We can’t live without Him. Again and again God has warned of this last hour. All the prophecies are shouting it: This is the final hour! Armageddon is on its way! From the holy pages of God’s Word we have learned that it’s almost time for the Bride to go home, almost time to take her flight.
Bathe your mind in God’s realities for this hour. Why worry about old age? When you wake up in Heaven you’ll realize how much time was wasted. Because God wants our minds to work like His, He made it possible for us to tap into His great mind for the knowledge, the wisdom, for everything of Him that we need. It’s all found in His Word. There is no lack of Him for His children in this last hour.
Enoch Walked with God
I like to imagine the conversation between Enoch and the Lord. What did they talk about that made the Lord eager to see him every day and pass by others? I’m sure Enoch didn’t complain or gossip; nor did he recount the slights and hurts from others. I believe Enoch talked joy, peace, happiness as he drew on the Lord at all times. God, tell me some more about Heaven. Tell me what you have been doing, God. What are you preparing for me? Tell me more about my mansion. Lord, all those wonderful things you have been telling me are all I can think about. I’m so excited I can hardly sleep at night. What a time they had as the Lord talked to Enoch and told him the wonders of Heaven, a place free of sickness and sorrow! Lord, I sure wish I could go there, Enoch must have said. I wish I didn’t have to be separated from you. I have such a lonely feeling after you leave. Lord, I wish I could go with you. I wish I didn’t have to wait for the death angel. The Lord heard enough. One day He said, Come on Enoch, you’re not going the way of the grave. I’m going to take you with me alive. Enoch had a mind to go home, a mind to enjoy Heaven. Some people, however, are not like Enoch. If the Lord would tell them He was going to take them home, it would strike terror in their hearts.
A Mind to Be with Jesus
In this final hour, the Bride will have a mind to be with Jesus, to be raptured like Enoch. She will be pondering, thinking about her mansion in Heaven that Jesus promised to prepare. Longing to see Jesus all the time, she will dwell in the sunshine of God’s glory. Never will a cloud darken His face. No more cares, burdens or heartaches, no more sadness or tears—only happiness, happiness awaits her. The Word and the promises of God are her strength and courage. His promises are living reality to her as she hugs them to her bosom.
Focused on His coming, her mind rejoices as her spirit cries: Even so, come, Lord Jesus (Revelation 22:20). Jesus said, Surely I come quickly (verse 20). Don’t delay your coming, the Bride will be saying. I’m ready. When she hears that final trumpet, she will be thrilled to the depths of her being. She has a mind to go with Jesus all the way; she has the mind of Jesus.
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus (Philippians 2:5). Our minds need help in this hour. God has been directing me to see how greatly people need help for the mind, giving me the burden to aid people with mental oppression. The Holy Spirit flows the Word placed in the soul to the mind to condition the mind to do all the Lord wants done. The mind must be conditioned to bring in the harvest throughout the whole world and to accept all the promises of God, all the helps of God for the true child of God in this final walk. This is the Bride’s last hour, her final walk.
God Is Married to the Backslider
Oh, Backslider, Lukewarm Christian, don’t go into the Tribulation Period! Have you studied it? Read the book of Revelation describing a time of horror never before seen upon the earth. Recognize what you will face if you don’t make the Rapture. Oh, Precious One, there is only one flight out. Backslider, you once had a reserved seat for that flight, but you lost your ticket. You can have another if you repent and come back to the Lord. Turn, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am married unto you (Jeremiah 3:14). The Lord is married to the backslider; He will welcome you back to Him. There is yet time if you will answer the call now. Tomorrow may be too late; tomorrow the sun may never shine for you again. It could well be the darkness of the Tribulation Period. Come to Jesus. If you have gone away from Him, won’t you say the sinners’ prayer with me now?
Oh, God, I have sinned against you. I am so sorry. I have come home, and I’m going to serve you, Lord, the rest of my life. I believe there is power in the blood of Jesus to wash away all of my sins. And I believe the Lord forgives me right now. Come on in, Jesus! Come on into my heart!
Now lift up those hands and say, Hallelujah, He has come! Hallelujah, He is mine!
It’s wonderful to have Jesus in your soul! He brings the flowing rivers of peace. You have the choice now of allowing that peace to flow into the mind or closing off the flow, carrying it in reserve and not using it for the mind. Closing it off will make you miserable, but why not be a happy child of God? Be a happy witness for the Lord in this final hour.
God’s Healing Power Can Make You Well
You who are sick and afflicted: God’s healing power can flow through you to make you well. What happiness there is in receiving a miracle! I was so tortured in my body before the Lord healed me that the nights seemed endless, an eternity. It looked to me as though the dawn would never come—but then the torture ended. The Lord came to me and made me well. I shall always be grateful. You will never know how many times after I was healed that I placed my head on my pillow and prayed, Oh, God, how thankful I am that I don’t have pain! Many of you would be so thankful, too, to have the Lord heal you. He loves you just like He loved me that night He found me so nigh unto death and made me well all over. He has healing in His wings, and He is coming your way; don’t you feel Him? He’s coming your way now.
I am not your healer; the Lord is your healer. I am the Lord’s believer. The Lord said, I am the LORD that healeth thee (Exodus 15:26). The prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up (James 5:15).
Lord, I bring the sick and afflicted to you, the cancer victims, the diabetics, the heart patients. I bring the paralyzed and the blind, the mentally affected ones. I bring them all, whatever their affliction or disease. In your healing hands there is help for all. In your healing Spirit is deliverance for all. No case is too hard for you, Lord. In the name of Jesus the deliverance comes from His wonderful gift of healing and His fantastic gift of miracles. Heal, heal in the name of Jesus! Heal in the holy name of the Lord! Heal in His all-powerful name.
God’s healing power is flowing to you if you accepted that prayer in faith, nothing doubting. Decide that the power of Him has gone into you, and you have to get well. It’s His power, and no power can stand against His power when you believe. The God of miracles lives and is pouring out His greatness today.
A Message from the Holy Ghost
Yea, saith the Spirit of God: I am here preparing you for this hour. Your hour will be a trying one unless you use my power that I’ve told my servant to tell you is available to you. I gave my servant what he has told you tonight because you must have it. You will battle and battle and feel so defeated again and again, saith the Lord, unless you use my power that worketh within you. Some of you are not using my power, and others are just using it part-time. But it’s to be used all the time for victorious Jesus results.
You’ll have the same peace in this hour as my Son had. You will have the same joy that He had. I will give you the same Spirit. It was given to Him without measure—and it will be given to the Bride without measure. Trust me, saith the Lord. Believe me, saith the Lord. I am giving my servant the way for you to walk. Walk, walk according to my directions. I am telling you where to step and how to step. I am telling you where my Son walked and how He walked. He walked it as a human being for your benefit.
I am calling to you to take my wisdom and knowledge, to take my promises and bind your spirit to my promises and never yield to anything less than my promises. Look upon me through my Word. Look at my greatness—and it’s yours. Look at my love—and it’s love for you to embrace all the time. Look at my peace—it’s yours to use freely.
There is no excuse for my people to be defeated. I am standing up for my people. I am standing up, saith the Lord, to do battle. I will rain down help from Heaven for the Bride in this her last hour. I will give her the courage of Heaven as she walks her last hour here on planet Earth. She will have the faith of Heaven. She will trample my enemies underfoot. She will deliver the devil possessed; she will set the captives free. She will deliver as my Son delivered. She will be my power and greatness on planet Earth, and she will win as my Son won.
The world will cry defeat, but she will cry victory. She will finish her work, and she will be ready when the cry of Heaven goes forth that my Son cometh for the Bride—His. She will be ready, saith the Lord! She will be ready! And she will finish her work that I have called her to do.
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
