"Proclaim to the heavens MY righteousness and YOUR righteousness IN ME.  JUSTIFICATION means your righteousness is as filthy rags and that you don't have to stand alone, but the blood has made you to stand with ME next to you, having taken all the blame and punishment for your sins on My shoulders !  People can tell you  what justification is, yet it is so antithesis to human thinking, that most don't WALK in it !  You are justified by FAITH beloveds, NOT WORKS lest any man should boast.  No man can boast in his abilities, or his righteousness because apart from MY GRACE you are nothing, and can do nothing !  Apart from ME, you can do NOTHING !"

Rom 3:22-26 AMP           Namely, the righteousness of God which comes by believing with personal trust and confident reliance on Jesus Christ (the Messiah).  [And it is meant] for all who believe.  For there is no distinction,  23   Since all have sinned and are falling short of the honor and glory which God bestows and receives.  24  [All] are justified and made upright and in right standing with God, freely and gratuitously by His grace (His unmerited favor and mercy), through the redemption which is [provided] in Christ Jesus,  25 Whom God put forward [before the eyes of all] as a mercy seat and propitiation by His blood [the cleansing and life-giving sacrifice of atonement and reconciliation, to be received] through faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in His divine forbearance He had passed over and ignored former sins without punishment.  26   It was to demonstrate and prove at the present time ( in the now season) that He Himself is righteous and that He justifies and accepts as righteous him who has [true] faith in Jesus.

"Is there anything you can do outside of FAITH ?  Of course not ! In order to get through the times ahead you MUST understand this for the enemy seeks to condemn you and to trip you up into thinking you need to strive to do everything.  Proclaim to the heavens and proclaim to the earth, proclaim to the winds and storms MY Word ! Proclaim to the ground to give up it's fruit.  Proclaim to the plants to reproduce. I have given you DOMINION !When GLORY comes, it cleanses and removes death, but if there is a heart of wickedness, it kills. To the one who WANTS to walk in holiness, but is so broken and bruised that they fail again and again and are not helped or taught right within the church, then do I just condemn and ridicule such a one ? NO ! 

Beloveds, I tell you NO !  I do not !  The greater responsibility belongs to teachers.  If you do not correct and do not teach the full WORD, then how can My people know the full counsel of the Lord.  Yes it is your responsibility to instruct as a teacher, and it is also each person's responsibility to study themselves, and to correct each other in LOVE so that all ARE EDIFIED and taught according to true doctrine.  You are a body and cannot just push aside those parts you do not like.  But neither can you tolerate that jezebel spirit that seeks to promote self and what IT WANTS. There is balance in all that is in the Word."

Rom 5:1-5   NKJV                        Faith Triumphs in Trouble
Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.  3   And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; 4 and perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5   Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.


"My grace is sufficient for you I've said.  But it is not to be trampled on either. A nicolaitan spirit is pervading My church but I will drive it out.  I will RESTORE the FEAR OF THE LORD, and I WILL destroy the tongues that wag in defiance of MY WILL.  I will shut the mouths of oppressors, and bring down every lofty thing that exalts itself against ME.  My grace is MY POWER to overcome all that is in the world, all that is flesh and all that is of the devil !  CALL upon MY GRACE in time of need, and I will fill you.  I will come to your aide and make the way of escape.  But to do that you MUST LEAN ON ME.  You must LOOK TO ME for what to do, and how to do it !  Dependency in this sense is good.  Dependency on ME is the foundation of My Kingdom.  Dependency on MAN is fleeting and frivolous.  Some trust in others, some trust in self, but you My remnant shall trust in the name of the LORD !"

Ps 20:7-8   NIV    Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.  They are brought to their knees and fall,  but we rise up and stand firm.

Proclaim to the devil his end ! Proclaim in the heavens the TRUTH OF THE WORD over your children, over your husband or wife, over your friends and relatives.  SPEAK the life of the WORD over them beloveds. STOP opening your mouths in criticism and condemnation of others.  Speak the truth, but do not speak out of a heart of wickedness and hatred for people.  I hate the sin, and I do not want you to tolerate wickedness in this hour it is imperative to be set apart.  A little leaven leavens the whole lump.  Love others, teach others, admonish others, speak LIFE of the WORD to them.  But do not be friends with the wicked.  Separate yourself from those who walk in disobedience.  Do you know how to walk in a separated life yet be among them ?  It is possible with MY GRACE.  KEEP YOUR EYES ON ME.
Keep your mind stayed on ME. PROCLAIM My love for you !  It is surety and when you are filled with the knowledge of My love, you can be filled with the fullness of Me."


2 Thess 3:6 AMP   Now we charge you, brethren, in the name and on the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah) that you withdraw and keep away from every brother (fellow believer) who is slack in the performance of duty and is disorderly, living as a shirker and not walking in accord with the traditions and instructions that you have received from us.

Eph 3:14-19   NKJV                 Appreciation of the Mystery
For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,   15 from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, 17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height -  19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

2 Thess 1:6-10 NIV   God is just: He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you 7 and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well. This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels.
8 He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. 9 They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the majesty of his power 10 on the day he comes to be glorified in his holy people and to be marveled at among all those who have believed. This includes you, because you believed our testimony to you  

2 Thess 2:7-12 NIV   For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, 10 and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.
