Embrace the Faithfulness of God's Promises and Abide in the Joy Supplied by Love (Part 2)

By Moses Hightower

Your march in this life could be the march of life to the rhythm of my love and not the march of death to the tune of spiritual taps and the rhythm of a heart's deep regret. The judgment seat of Christ is not the place to make this decision, but today, at the throne of grace, is the day to make your decision concerning life and death. I am a merciful God; therefore, I am presenting to you this day the offer of love. He who believes in me shall never die, yet belief is not simply a confession of the mouth but a confession from the heart and mouth. After which, belief must be demonstrated by the obedience of faith in my death, burial and resurrection. You must believe and die with me in baptism. How will you rise to walk with me if you have not died with me in the waters of baptism?

Allow the waters of life to bring death to self, and then will these same waters lift you unto life with me. The waters that drowned all who were disobedient in the days of Noah also saved Noah and his family. They were saved by water, for the waters of the flood lifted them above the judgment that was in the water. I have come and offered to lift you from the fire of judgment by offering you the Holy Ghost and fire that lifts you from the fire of hell's judgment. Wade into the waters of baptism today, and the fire of love shall lift you from the judgment that is in the fire of hell. I have said, "He who believes and is baptized shall be saved, but he who believes not shall be damned." My love has stretched forth its arms for you as I have already manifested the fruit of faith to strengthen you so that you may be able to hear and obey. Hear the voice of justice and judgment as it cried to taste your blood. Hear the voice of spirits in the halls of revenge as they cried out to have you listed with the damned. Hear the voice of jealousy as the accusers of mankind cried out to have you cast into the chambers of torment. If you have listened carefully with hearing ears, then you would know that all who are born shall die. A man is born of a woman and of a few days, yet all his days are full of trouble. I have assured you of an eternal existence of peace where there are no more days and nights. Time shall be no more, yet time in the dimension of time will present you with the opportunity to choose eternity in the light of love or in the darkness of the devil's judgment. As Moses went to Egypt and demanded the deliverance of Jacob's children, I have offered myself for your debts in sin's slavery camp and demanded your freedom from the cruel masters of bondage.

Behold my cross of judgment for you again. Behold my blood for your redemption again. Behold my sufferings for you. Will you remain a captive when such an expensive offering has been given for your freedom?

Will you remain a spiritual pauper when such extraordinary riches have been laid up for you in a kingdom that cannot be conquered?

There are many soldiers of my cross who are enjoying the riches of my exceeding, great kingdom, but if you listen to the voices of Satan's army, you will be deceived and never act upon the faith within you, which shall cause you to join the wealthy warriors of Christ. Many voices speak to discourage your expression of faith. Many voices of unbelief suggest reasons to wait on treasures upon the earth. You will believe the voices of deceit unless you offer yourself as a sacrifice upon the cross of self-denial. Offer yourself to me, and your vision into the heavenlies will not be in vain. I have sent for your help from the hills of heaven. Now embrace the faithfulness of my promises, and abide in the joy supplied by love.

CONFUSION, DEATH, IGNORANCE, JUDGMENT, AND UNBELIEF (PART 2)

My march in this life could be the march of life to the rhythm of God’s love and not the march of death to the tune of spiritual taps and the rhythm of a heart's deep regret. The judgment seat of Christ is not the place to make this decision, but today, at the throne of grace, is the day to make my decision concerning life and death. God is a merciful God; therefore, today he is presenting to me the offer of love.

I cannot rise to walk with him if I have not died with him in the waters of baptism. I have allowed the waters of life to bring death to self, and now will these same waters lift me unto life with Jesus. The waters that drowned all who were disobedient in the days of Noah also saved Noah and his family. They were saved by water, for the waters of the flood lifted them above the judgment that was in the water. God has come and offered to lift me from the fire of judgment by offering me the Holy Ghost and fire that lifts me from the fire of hell's judgment.

RE: RHEMA - Embrace the Faithfulness of God's Promises and Abide in the Joy Supplied by Love (Part 2)

Many voices of distraction will sound in the cacophony of confusion that they will repeat in a sad song. We have heard the songs of angels and heaven's choirs. We are not listening to the broadcast of the debaters of the veracity of God. He has proven himself to us over and over again. He spoke to me years ago and said, "Why will you send me before the grand jury of your mind to prove my promises that I have kept to you over and over again? As flesh, you soon forget in the sudden storm of the present the power that I poured into your past. I will not fail to be even greater in your difficulties of today and any storm on your horizon."

Our enemy will try to point out to us every person who has lived for God and failed. Satan will try to drag up every promise and prayer that we have prayed or believed and underline what appeared not to have happened. In every situation, we never see everything that happened. Our God works in dimensions beyond our ability to see and understand. He will bring to naught the things that seem to be prevailing in our present by the things that do seem to even exist but really do! We will not listen to the voices of losers, but we will listen to the voices of the lovers of Jesus.

By Moses Hightower

Do not fret yourself because of the size of the congregation. Love and nurture those that I bring. None can come unless I draw them unto myself. I am in you; therefore, those who I am drawing shall come, and some shall remain. I bring many to hear the gospel, but many will not be chosen. The call has gone out for the world to hear the good news, yet all will not obey the gospel; therefore, know that you shall see many pass through your midst and exit into hell. Do not be disturbed by those who reject the truth. Remember that I have told you that you are not greater than your master. They rejected me. They rejected the prophets. They will reject you. Do not allow the spear of rejection to wound your trust in me. I am faithful even when the spear of rejection has been thrown into your heart. All these things must be, for you are a part of my body, and I have opened up a door for all to come. Look again to me. What do you see in the spirit?

In the spirit, I see him drawing souls unto himself and working miracles.

RE: RHEMA - Fashioned To Overcome

Satan would like for us to dance to the drumbeat of defeat. Our destiny, however, is in the hands of the designer of the universe. It is interesting that if you take the word overcome and turn it into come over, we are promised not only to be overcomers, but we can also come on over every mountain and obstacle that is in our pathway. Spirits of darkness and fear may try to rise up before the children of God, but the Lord God, mighty in battle, has promised to demolish every force that sets itself in array against us. Howling voices of fear and distraction may fill the air around the camp of the saints, but the Lord will disperse them with one word of his mighty voice. Our mouth should continually pour forth the declarations of our faith into the atmosphere until it is saturated with the dew of heaven.

In our prison service, the Lord spoke to us and said, “Storms of difficulty and trial will come to your mind and try to paralyze your thoughts of faith and confidence within you. It may seem so strong that you are struggling to think the thoughts that I have given you, but my thoughts for you are more in number than the sands of the sea. I have planned for you to succeed and not to fail. I have planned your celebration over every obstacle. My thoughts are higher than yours. Your fleshly thoughts are too close to the source of the problem. Mine are above the gravity of your location. Mine are higher than the heavens above the earth from which I have already sent your victory. Rejoice and dance in the celebration that my cross has already provided for you.”

By Moses Hightower

I am a holy God. There is no defeat in me. I have all power, and there is no counsel against me. Lift your eyes to me, and give me your heart. I have all power. I created man and made woman from the man's rib.

214. Has my creative power diminished when I am the Lord who does not change?

215. Has my constructive power withered as a flower in its state of withering?

I am the Lord, and I do not change. Trust me, and I will show you my glory. Trust me, and I will show you that you have not believed in an idol. You have believed in the only Lord God. I am Jesus who called Paul of the early church. I have called you. Allow the fashioning of my grace to complete its work, and then will you be pleased with the result that I have planned by my mind. You cannot add one inch to your stature.

216. Then why struggle to become what you are going to be?

RE: PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING - January 11, 2007

Every battle of the warrior is with confused noise and garments wrapped in blood. It is declared in the same scripture in Isaiah that the victory is with burning and fuel of fire. Our concept of the Holy Ghost is limited at times. If the Holy Ghost is the love of God shed abroad in our hearts, then it follows that it is not passive in its nature. The Holy Ghost is the leaping, dancing, and passionate love of God in our lives. Our passions must be channeled toward God and his things. When we become so intense for God and the things of the spirit, we will be consumed totally by that same fire, and there will be nothing left for the devil to manipulate in our lives. Romans talks about those who burn in their perverted lust for one another. If this passion can be so misdirected, it can be properly directed. There is a fire of the spirit that is hotter than all the fires that hell can ignite in our lives. Lust is a loser when the One who loosed the power of heaven steps into the corridors of our lives. Judgment is not the destination of the sold out soul. Voices of distraction will always be like the creatures of the night waiting for the embers of the fire in our lives to burn low. They will then begin to run in and devour us a little bit at a time. If we maintain a blazing inferno of dedication and love in our lives, we will banish into the night all the predators of our faith and journey into eternity.

I thank you that my march in this life can be the march of life to the rhythm of your love and not the march of death to the tune of spiritual taps and the rhythm of my heart's deep regret. I know that your judgment seat is not the place to make this decision. I cherish the opportunity that I have been given today to make my decision concerning life and death at your throne of grace. You are a merciful God; therefore, you have presented the offer of love to me this day. I thank you that those who believe in you shall never die. Lord, I know that this belief is not simply a confession of my mouth but a confession from my heart and mouth. I know that as I have confessed with my mouth, I must demonstrate my belief by the obedience of faith in your death, burial, and resurrection. I believe in you, and I thank you for the opportunity to die with you in baptism. I cannot rise to walk with you if I have not died with you in the waters of baptism. I have allowed the waters of life to bring death to me, and now I am so delighted that these same waters will lift me unto life with you. I am grateful for the example that you have shown me of how the waters that drowned all who were disobedient in the days of Noah also saved Noah and his family. They were saved by water, for the waters of the flood lifted them above the judgment that was in the water. I praise you for coming and lifting me from the fire of hell’s judgment by offering me the Holy Ghost and fire. I have waded into the waters of baptism, and I give you praise because the fire of love has lifted me from the judgment that is in the fire of hell.

I take heed to your words, and I am grateful that you have given me grace to believe and be baptized that I might be saved and not damned. Your love has stretched forth its arms for me as you have already manifested the fruit of faith to strengthen me so that I may be able to hear and obey. I have heard the voice of justice and judgment as it cried to taste my blood. I have heard the voice of spirits in the halls of revenge as they cried out to have me listed with the damned. I have heard the voice of jealousy as the accusers of mankind cried out to have me cast into the chambers of torment. If I have listened carefully with hearing ears, then I would know that all who are born shall die. A man is born of a woman and of a few days, yet all his days are full of trouble. I am comforted that you have assured me of an eternal existence of peace where there are no more days and nights. Time shall be no more, yet time in the dimension of time will present me with the opportunity to choose eternity in the light of love or in the darkness of the devil's judgment. Just as Moses went to Egypt and demanded the deliverance of Jacob's children, you have offered yourself for my debts in sin's slavery camp and demanded my freedom from the cruel masters of bondage.

I praise you for your cross of judgment for me and I am grateful for your blood that paid for my redemption. I am honored because you suffered for me. By your grace, I purpose not to remain a captive when such an expensive offering has been given for my freedom. I am elated that I do not have to remain a spiritual pauper because such extraordinary riches have been laid up for me in a kingdom that cannot be conquered. It brings me great joy to know that many soldiers of your cross are enjoying the riches of your exceeding great kingdom. I know that if I listen to the voices of Satan's army, I will be deceived and never act upon the faith within me, which shall cause me to join the wealthy warriors of Christ. I praise you for the discernment to recognize the many voices that speak to discourage my expression of faith. Many voices of unbelief suggest reasons to wait on treasures upon the earth. I offer myself as a sacrifice upon the cross of self-denial, and because of the ability that you have given me I will not believe the voices of deceit.

I am grateful that I can offer myself to you, and my vision into the heavenlies will not be in vain. You have sent my help from the hills of heaven, and now I embrace the faithfulness of your promises, and I abide in the joy supplied by love. Many voices of distraction will sound in the cacophony of confusion that they will repeat in a sad song. I appreciate hearing the songs of angels and of heaven's choirs, and I am renewed. I thank you that I know you are true and that I do not have to listen to the broadcast of the debaters of your veracity. You have proven yourself to me over and over again. Although the enemy will try to point out every person who has lived for you and failed, and although Satan will try to drag up every promise and prayer that I have prayed or believed and underline what appeared not to have happened, I can trust that you work in dimensions beyond my ability to see and understand. I am so thankful that you will bring to naught the things that seem to be prevailing in my present by the things that do not even seem to exist but really do! I am so glad that I do not have to listen to the voice of losers, but I can listen to the voice of those who love you. I worship you and praise your name.
