Page 173 - Evidence of Things Unseen

The Father has encouraged me in other ways. I have been put in cell number 40. The
Spirit led me to the Psalm of this same number. It begins,

“I waited patiently for Yahweh; and He inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He
brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon
a rock, and established my goings. And He hath put a new song in my mouth, even
praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in Yahweh.”

It is truly my hope and earnest desire that a remnant will observe the Father’s grace
and keeping power in my life and be encouraged to abandon their lives fully into His hands.
He has declared that there is “an afflicted path that leads to life, and few there be that find
it.” Yet His grace is able to keep the weakest, and most timid of those who will commit their
lives unto Him. Though the way of Christ’s disciples leads through fire and flood, through
lion’s dens and the valley of the shadow of death, we have an omnipotent Shepherd who
watches over us. We will never walk alone.
If we will accept the garments of humility that Christ wore, we will wear the garments
of honor. The hour came when Joseph was brought out of the prison of Pharaoh. His
garment was changed once again. Pharaoh arrayed Joseph in linen garments. He placed the
necklace about Joseph’s neck, and a signet ring on his finger. Pharoah declared that in
Joseph was the Spirit of the holy God. Joseph received glory for abasement, and honor for
shame. This is the heritage of the overcomers in Christ.
May you be blessed with peace and understanding in these days.

Note: I was released from this second imprisonment after 74 days in jail.
