Spiritual Inquiry - Introduction

Moses Hightower

PART 1

I can do all things; therefore, do not lean to your own understanding. Do not lean to the assumptions of the doubters and those who do not walk by faith. Hear the voice of prophecy. It speaks in your ears with inspiration from the Faithful Witness as he grants you the testimony of Jesus Christ. The voice of the Lord God speaks and declares his testimony of faith and faithfulness.

1. Is any thing too hard for me?

Remember, I am the Creator. The worlds were framed by the word of God. The things which are seen were not made of things which appear. Though you do not see the completed work, know of truth, that it is already completed. By faith you understand it. I created the heaven and the earth. The earth was without form, and void: and darkness was upon the face of the deep. I moved upon the face of the waters and said, "Let there be light: and there was light."

2. Is this too hard for man to perform?

3. Was it too hard for me?

Cease comparing what shall be with what you can do and what man can do. I am not a man that I should lie. I am God and I can do all things. I finished the heavens and the earth and all the host of the things in the heavens. I created man in my own image, in the image of God; I created him; male, and female.

4. How is it that I can begin with dust and end with man and cannot begin with this church and end with an awesome revival?

5. How will you be saved if you cannot believe what I have said?

Do not allow your small mind to interfere with the big thing that I am doing. All of the fruit from the mind of unbelief shall be resisted by the force of the author of this faith. I made every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew, for I had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. A mist came up from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground. I formed man out of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

6. Do you believe this?

Then believe that I can make many sons and daughters from this congregation. I made Eve from one of Adam's ribs.

7. Am I now limited to make a mighty congregation from that which you see?

8. What is the shape of a rib?

9. What is its relationship to the shape of a woman?

10. Was the difference between a rib and a woman a factor in whether I could make a woman from a rib?

I have given you the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. This alone will bring unto you a good report. I framed the worlds by the Word of God, and the things that are seen were not created of themselves. The things that you see are not responsible for their existence. The framing which occurred by the word of God has brought forth worlds.

11. What will you believe me to frame for you?

Go unto the sanctuary and offer an excellent sacrifice. If you are righteous, then show forth praise unto the Living God. Your praises are a witness of your righteousness, but your lack of praise is a witness of your unrighteousness.

12. How will you rise from the dead if you are unrighteous and unthankful in this life?

Your praises and your life must speak for you while you live. There cometh the day when you will speak from the dead.

13. In your death, what will your life say?

14. In your death, what exclamation will be said of your praise?

15. In your death, what testimony will be heard beyond the grave?

16. How will you be translated into the life to come if you are conformed unto this world?

17. If sinners are displeased with your life and read the epistle of hypocrisy and spiritual graffiti, then how will you please the Living God?

Refuse the abominable things from the harlot of the age. Enoch refused the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life. His relationship was more important to him than gratifying his flesh. I rewarded him with an eternal embrace that caught him out of reach of worldly pleasures. His kiss of acceptance came before the resurrection forcefully snatched him from the Adamic nature that he was clothed with. You have been instructed in the ways of righteousness, yet you wrestle with loving the God of instructions. Cast yourself unto the arms of love and forgiveness, and I will show you a new relationship that dwells outside of what you were in Adam.

18. How can you please me if you do not come to me as a true believer who knows that I reward those who diligently seek me?

Be fully persuaded that the foundations of your promises are built and made by me.

19. Why wait at the gate of uncertainty?

20. Have I built success for you and detained you in the prison of failure?

21. Have I built the body of Christ to have it overcome by the giants of debt?

22. Have I made you foundations of peace and hired confusion as a condemning agent of your building of peace?

Look away from this lie in your face, and behold the truth within you. You have looked outside at uncertainty while truth's fiery eyes are waiting to consume the doubts and fears before your face. Open your life up for the praises that have been stifled by doubt and unbelief. Open your mouth up for the praise that desires to come forth through a vessel sacrificed unto the God of your way. Receive the strength to conceive a seed of praise. I have planted the seed of praise within you. Judge me faithful, not unfaithful. I promised.

23. Will I lie?

24. Can I lie?

25. How many promises shall spring forth from your seed of praise if you plant them in the realm of my faithfulness?

Do not choose to leave the seed of praise in the barn of doubt and self-will. Your seed will rot in the barn if you neglect to praise me when I have come to woo you with my lovingkindness and tender mercies. Behold the seed of praise and come plant them in the fruitful ground of my faithfulness. You will receive strength to conceive a miracle and have it delivered unto your eyes and hands. Judge me faithful who have made you a promise, and I will show you the trees of fruitful praises waving in the face of arrogant adversity. Behold the faithfulness of your God. Embrace my promises and be persuaded by them.

26. If you are not persuaded by my promises, how will you be persuaded by the promise of the resurrection from the dead?

To whom much is given, much is required. Do not take me for granted because I have blessed you and given you much. Responsibility lies in your bosom also.

27. What good are your treasures without accountability?

Humility pauses to allow you to come aboard. Do not attempt to journey across the dark, cold sea of death in a vehicle of pride and selfishness. Only humility will access the grace that will propel you through this time of extreme coldness. The love of many has waxed colder than ever before. Do not become shipwrecked with the masses. Examine the condition of your heart. Do not allow your life to become an open autopsy of one who could have succeeded if you had really loved others.

28. Your exterior works may shine before man, but what does that profit you if your interior heart and motives are not pure in my sight?

Fall at my feet and receive the mercy being offered you. My grace is sufficient. All who abandon pride and vengeance shall not crash on the wreckage in the cold sea. I have equipped you with love inside. Follow charity and place vengeance in my hands. It is time to weep. This is the time to cry. You have found grace in my sight. Grace shall support you while wrong inflicts you during times of sincerity and prayer for your persecutors. Pour out your tears upon the altar, and I will create within you a new heart of love for others. Be broken upon this rock of conviction. The brokenness of your heart shall allow my purity to shine in you, and then will you see me and desire my attitude and my love for those who treat you wrong. I died for my enemies.

29. What will you do for yours?

30. If you will not die for them, then why attempt to journey across the cold sea ahead without a renewal of your heart and your spirit?

Awaken out of sleep and I will give you light.

31. Must the lashes of the enemy come against your back to awaken you unto the grace within your heart?

I bring to your remembrance the many things that I have delivered you from. Count all these things joy that have choked away your pleasures. Remember that you deserved to die in the floods of the past. You should have drowned in the waters of trouble, which went over your head. It was not your own struggles that gave you strength to escape the belly of the floods of trouble, but it was my grace enabling you to wash upon the shores of life. Open your eyes and view the past scenes of tragedy where many lay dead in their trespasses and sins, yet you are alive today with an opportunity to praise the name of the God that kept you alive.

32. How many of your friends died in their sins while serving themselves and the gods of religion?

You survived the clutches of idolatry, and by grace, you came up out of the horrible pit of religion. By my grace, I brought you to the dry ground of the chief cornerstone. The rope of love did not leave you in the dark dungeon of despair while I rescued others, but I brought you along with others. I stretched my hand to some of your friends and they rejected my help.

33. Will you reject my offer of mercy after being delivered from such horrible blindness of heart?

Come and reason together with me, and I will show you of my easy yoke and my light burden again. Yoke yourself no longer with the strength of human reasoning, but yoke yourself with me and rest while I show you of an easier way. You have trusted in self and man too long.

34. You say that you have trusted in me, but have you really learned to trust in me as Paul trusted in me?

There is nothing truly spiritual in the world. All is vanity and foolish. The acts of the world are mere distractions and entertainment for the fallen angels of the darkness. Do not be a character in their dramas of death. The prince of the power of the air works to include you in his amusement that you may be on the diet of death itself. Do not allow the trumpets of death to play taps for you, but tune your senses to the voice of the Lord. I shall descend with the voice of an archangel and those who love my appearing shall hear my voice.

35. How will you love my appearing if you find my commandments grievous?

I have said, “Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness;” therefore, cease your search for success and fame, then will all the things that I desire to send you become yours by the hand of multiplication. Success in Christ Jesus is not obtained as success is awarded to the worshippers of the gods of the world. You will stumble in the day if your faith is in self and human ability.

36. Will you use human ability against principalities and powers of the regions of the darkness of this world?

Take unto yourself the whole armor of God.

37. How will you wear the armor of God without the undergarments of humility?

38. How will you wear outergarments of darkness and the armor of God also?

39. Will you wear the armor of God without casting off the outer works of darkness?

40. Who can eat at my table and the table of devils also?

I have sought you and drawn you unto my throne of grace. There is mercy and help in the grace here. Behold the mercy and the help made available to you.

41. Are there any weaknesses in my mercy and my help?

Nature teaches you that my word is true. Birds use many things as they migrate. It is built within them to know these things.

42. Have I left you without direction and knowledge of my love?

I desire to give you the understanding of the Spirit of God. Stop harnessing the beautiful cloud of your own understanding and allow my breath to blow it way. I will not blow it away if you choose to clutch it with your mental possessiveness. Loose it, and I will grant you the beautiful transparency of the understanding of the spirit. Men will rave about their own minds, not realizing that it is possible for the things of their minds to be mere reflections from pride or another spirit.

43. Which of you can add one cubit to your stature by thought?

I can lengthen your legs. I caused Aaron's rod to bud. I have all power. Lean on me and not to your own understanding, then will you see true spiritual images that are fostered from the source of true spiritual understanding. This is no time for the lack of understanding. During this time of coldness, the love of many have already waxed cold.

44. How can you remain a fervent prayer warrior if the icicles of misunderstanding and indifference hang from your heart?

If you squander the opportunity to be continually baptized with the Holy Ghost and with fire, then you will spend your time clothed with cold love instead of the fire of God. I am a consuming fire.

45. Then what should you be?

The heavens declare my glory, and my firmament shows you my handiwork, but you do not have to take a voyage to the heavens to find me. I will come to the repentant hearts. I will come to those who seek me with all their heart. You shall be found of me in the day that you seek me with a whole heart. Do not seek a spiritual experience, but seek me, the Living God. Believe that my name is Jesus, and call upon that name. I will deliver all that call upon my name. I desire to grant deliverance in the sanctuary. Be sensitive to me. I desire to impart vision to the people.

46. How will they see things that are invisible if they only have human vision?

It is possible to have eyes to see and not have insight. What I will do is worth more than money can buy, for I will touch the eyes of understanding, and my people shall know the hope of my calling. They shall know the riches of the glory of the inheritance that is within them. As lightning from heaven, so shall my power touch those who desire to see. The splendor of my love shall flash and create light that is visible to those who have not seen. All of this is part of the revival that I am giving.

47. How will you see the sinners that I am talking to and leading if you do not have spiritual insight?

Many eyes have grown weak because of the absence of joy. The joy of the Lord is not simply strength to leap and be energized for playing before me, but the joy of the Lord is also strength for weakened spiritual eyesight. When spiritual eyesight is restored, then shall the raging waters of the flood be observed without fear. Look closely at the waters of a flood harnessed by the high banks of mountains. There is no reason to fear the waters that flow on to another destiny. It is when there are no banks to border a flood that there is reason to worry. Come to the borders of holiness, peace, and spiritual understanding, then will your fears be cast into these raging waters while you stand on the bank without fear.

48. Have you sought the kingdom of God only?

49. Have you sought the kingdom of God and my righteousness?

Some seek the kingdom, but not my righteousness. The kingdom of God is liken unto a merchant man seeking goodly pearls, who when he had found one pearl of great price went and sold all that he had.

50. What kind of pearls did you come to the kingdom for?
