(RHEMA; Qualifying Factors Are Unnecessary In the Eyes of Grace)
Moses Hightower
The Comfort of God's Compassion During the Trial of Your Faith
I have granted you mercy and truth. I have given you the staff of righteousness that you might pass over the plagues of this life. Because of righteousness that is imputed unto you, there is deliverance from the hand of your evil brothers. You do not have to fear, for I have fought against the enemy and won for you. Keep your hands clean. Walk uprightly, work righteousness, and speak the truth in your heart. Do not backbite with your tongue, neither do evil to your neighbor, nor take up a reproach against him. I have given a banner to them that fear me so that this banner may be displayed because of the truth. Show forth the truth in the face of the enemy, and know that your prayers have come in unto me in this acceptable time. In the multitude of my mercy, I have heard you in the truth of my own salvation. I have delivered you out of the mire and did not allow you to sink. You are delivered from them that hate you. Out of the deep waters of regret, I have delivered you. The flood waters did not overflow you, neither did the deep swallow you up. The pit did not shut her mouth upon you, for I placed my right hand in her mouth and rescued you. My lovingkindness is good. I have turned unto you with the multitude of tender mercies. I have not hid my face from you while trouble approached from the rear. I heard you, and I answered speedily. I have beckoned your soul and allowed the power of redemption to deliver you because of your enemies. Your failures and your shortcomings are not hidden from me, neither are they hidden from your foes in the darkness. Fret not, for reproach shall not break your heart; therefore, be not full of heaviness. Though you find no one to take pity upon you and though you find few for comforters, remember that they also gave me gall for my meat, and in my thirst, they gave me vinegar to drink. Worry not about the evildoers of the hour. Their eyes shall be darkened so that they see not. Their loins shall continually shake. I will pour out my indignation upon them, and my wrathful anger shall take hold of them. My merciful kindness is great toward you, and the truth of the Lord, your God, endures forever. Offer praise unto the Lord, your God. My word is very pure. You are small in my sight and despised by those who hate my name. Offer praise in the face of these things, for my righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and my law is the truth. When you cried with your whole heart, I heard your cry. When you cried out to be delivered and saved from your enemies, I responded and gave you more hope in my word. Hope in my word. Buy the truth, and do not sell it. Buy wisdom, instruction, and understanding. You live in a great day. This is the day that a new song shall be sung. In the land of Judah, they shall say, "We have a strong city; salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks. Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in. Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in the Lord. Trust in the Lord forever: for in the Lord is everlasting strength." Open your mouth, and sing this new song. The greatest commandment will be fulfilled in this latter time. "Hear, O Israel; the Lord our God is one Lord: and thou shall love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength." There is but one God, and there is none other but me. This is the truth; therefore, embrace it, and speak it with your mouths. You know the truth, and the truth has made you free. Fear not those who rise up and say they are redeemed and were never in bondage. They have their sins because they have not had them remitted in my name. They are the servants of sin and will desire to kill you. The people that have told them the truth will be hated as I was hated. Those who are of one Father, even God, will love you and seek your good and not your hurt. Beware of men who reject the truth, for they understand not your speech because they cannot hear my word. Many of them are of their father the devil, and they are doing the lust of their father, the devil. The devil was a murderer from the beginning and abode not in the truth because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own, for he is a liar and the father of it. Those that are of God will hear God's words; therefore, know of a truth, that they hear not the truth because they are not of God. I am the way, the truth, and the life. You have come unto me because I drew you unto me. Now behold the truth that has made you free.

RHEMA: The Comfort of God's Compassion During the Trial of Your Faith God's staff of righteousness has been stretched across our Red sea. Our deliverance has been affected by the love that never fails to demonstrate itself in the integrity that is so his nature. We can walk on the water and pass through the waters of strife on the dry ground of victory by the power of his Spirit. His grace has defended us before the judgment bar of heaven. We should defend one another as we love our neighbor as our self. Sometimes we reserve our best behavior for complete strangers and treat the ones we should love the most in our own family with contempt. God's multitude of mercy surrounds us, and we should be part of the multitude on the behalf of others. We should never sit in the seat of the scornful. God brought us out of the pit of our own failures and mistakes. He discarded the stinking rags of our pitiful lives and wrapped us in the array of princes. We should extend the same courtesy of grace to all who come around the throne of grace in the time of their desperate need. All those who stand in the bar of condemnation will be washed away by the floods of grace that will be poured out in the valleys of guilt. As snow covers the scars and the ugly places of the earth, God will place us in the most beautiful light that forgiveness can reveal. Truth will release us from the necessity of trying to make ourselves look good. Truth will beautify the meek as salvation does. All the faces of fear that peer through the night will vanish before those who will worship him in spirit and truth. Long lines of misunderstanding souls perish in the darkness that is void of the revelation of the deity of Jesus Christ. We are truly complete in him in more ways than just salvation. We are not half persons of pieces of the story, but the whole story of our faith is being written by the author and finisher. His triumph will echo in the lips of those who will stand upon his fellowship of suffering in this hour.

My hand is not slack, and my word is not slow, neither is it weak. I
am faithful. I have made promises to you. Because my word has gone out
of my mouth, it will not return to me before it has performed what I
sent it to do. My words are creative and powerful. They are not empty
and unproductive. My words are fertile and full of plenty. Look not
to the dry ground of your circumstances and unnecessary qualifying factors.
Look to my righteousness. I have imputed righteousness unto you. The
effectual, fervent prayers that you offer avail much. Lift up your legs
of confidence, and abound unto the fruitfulness of my performance by
thanksgiving. Open up your heart, and allow thanksgiving to be expressed.
Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. The baptism of
the Holy Ghost has brought righteousness inside of you. Peace and joy
resides inside with righteousness. These three constitute a mighty kingdom
within, for the kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but it is righteousness,
peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
