Fragrant Praise
Rope of Hope
Chapter Fourteen

He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ.

Ephesian 4:11-13

His Rope of Hope - His Bloodstained Road

The Father is calling us unto Himself through Jesus Christ His Son. He has thrown out his scarlet-soaked rope of hope, extending it out to us in our time of need.

Jesus is our door, our hope!

We may find ourselves in a valley of trials and afflictions but God has given us His rope of hope.

The Hebrew word translated as "hope" is Tikvah, which in its root meaning, is a picture of a cord attached to a thing longed for.

It's the work of the Holy Spirit that brings us to JESUS!!!

John 16:12-15 12"

I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. 13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. 14 He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you. 15 All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you."

Therefore, I am now going to allure her; I will lead her into the wilderness and speak tenderly to her. There I will give her back her vineyards and will make the Valley of Achor a door of hope. There she will respond as in the days of her youth, as in the day she came up out of Egypt.

Hosea 2:14-15

Joshua 2, "Then she let them down by a rope through the window, for her house..."

God comes into us, then we are invited by his blood, to grab a hold of His rope of hope or His blood-soaked carpet (invitation!!)

The Father speaks tenderly to us. He is our Abba!

He makes roads in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. Because I am doing something new! Now you will grow like a new plant. Surely you know this is true. I will even make a road in the

desert,

and rivers

will flow through that

dry land.

Isaiah 43:19

His awning is His rescue.

The awing of his Love, The tip points of His wing extended over you, is Love. As you come in bringing thanksgiving to him, you must enter His narrow fiery chamber with a mystic thankful heart. He covers you with his arc, covenant, and wing as you enter in.

You come into His narrow fiery Chamber (entrance) of His

Royal kingdom and receive His blood, His fire.

Your heart is expanding.

We are a new creation in Christ Jesus. Behold all things become NEW. We are washed in cleansed in Christ's Blood His Living Water.

His covenant banner over you is Love.

His wing right arm comes over you, His left arm comes underneath you.

His Purple Kingly Robe speaks of How he brought Himself low- as a low branch heavy with fruit.

He gave Himself to be a servant- washing our feet!

We lift up the purple robe of servanthood to symbolize His service to us and we receive His living waters for our cleansing.

His lifts off our branch, His fruit. Our tender flesh and sweet juice take His breath away.

Blood & Water speak a testimony to us. It prepares us for covenant promise-marriage.

He is forming for himself his Bride. He comes in by the fire. He first makes a place for you by the WAY of the Vav, Peg. He stands and knocks upon your door (Rev 3:20). He is a wedge or spade that breaks-through-the hard crust of our soul and heart. He is Living Water that cuts through the hard rock.

You are now HIS new creation. You are a new creature IN Christ Jesus. Visit the many pages on this site and learn and know how God is raising you up as His living
