As with many who have left the ‘Church System,’ I have faced challenges in many areas of life during the last several years. These challenges could virtually be categorized as universal in that many of God’s people have been through testing and trials during recent months and years. As with all periods of testing, the end result is testimony. In fact, there can be no testimony without there first being a test. The fire of circumstance brings correction where it is needed, and evidences our level of trust, or lack thereof. Universal testing produces universal testimony, which introduces a move of God universally. I remain convinced that we are about to see the greatest move of God this earth has ever seen. It will start with a remnant company of believers and spread.

“How will a man overcome? By the blood of the Lamb, AND THE WORD OF HIS TESTIMONY” (Revelation 12:11). Testimony releases overcoming power, and nothing short of overcoming power Glorifies God.

I recently was told by a Prophetic brother that I “could not have God’s best in my life until I could see it.” Of course, his meaning was to see it with the eyes of faith. While I knew his statement was true, I had great difficulty seeing anything but the circumstances, some of which involves pain in my physical body. My brother put himself out on a limb, as I am doing with this writing. He said, “you will see it on Monday (today), but you must first see it by faith.” I struggled all weekend with trying to “see it.” I could not, yet this morning, during a brief time of prayer, God spoke the following to me and suddenly I could “see it.” I saw it through my revelation of the covenant I have with the Father – a covenant of such depth that He gave His Son, who shed His blood that I might have the benefit of a covenant that cannot be broken. God has done His part. My part is to believe it in spite of circumstances to the contrary.

The following is God’s Word to me personally. If there is value to you personally, use it. It is, in my humble opinion, a universal word for the remnant Body of Christ today.

“You will begin to see evidence of my promises to you this day. I enforce my covenant with those who enforce it with me, not in arrogance but in knowledge of their rights! Place me in remembrance of my words (promises) to you. Come to me boldly! David knew his covenant rights when he fought Goliath – his boldness enforced his right and scattered the enemies of God. Stand up to the enemies of you soul (circumstances) and enforce the covenant of my word to you—a word of victory, hope, and restoration; of a prosperous soul, good health and abundance in all areas of life. Circumstances must change as you enforce the covenant. Spend the rest (remainder) of your life telling others of my covenant, and their right to “bring me in remembrance of my words.” Spontaneous reminders (from you to me) release heaven’s energy into your circumstances, causing circumstances to align with my word. To the degree you enforce (your covenant), to that same degree will you see circumstantial changes. Enforce your rights!”

In Him,

Clay
