Truth Has Been Presented by Judgment and Spared the Bruised Reeds and the Smoking Flax

By Moses Hightower

You have preached the gospel. Now do not worry about those who did not believe your report. The arm of the Lord is revealed to whom I reveal it to. Your description of me was as a root out of a dry ground. They looked for human beauty and intellectual philosophy. The gospel did not bring a Christ with form and comeliness. The true gospel describes me without beauty that fallen man desires. When I walked the earth, I was despised, rejected of men, a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief, and men hid their faces from me. In my humanity, I received the bruising of the Father's pleasure. I was put to grief, and my soul was made an offering for sin. The pleasure of the Lord prospered in my hands as I bore the keys of the kingdom upon my shoulder. I brought the government of God to the earth, and the increase of that government continues in its everlasting increase. I bore the iniquities of all, and by my knowledge, I justified many. I poured out my soul unto death and was numbered with the transgressors. I bore the sins of many and made intercession for the transgressors. I was bruised in a pleasurable manner. Now lift up your heads from your grief and despair. I have allowed you to be bruised in trials; therefore, come and become acquainted with these things with your heads lifted up instead of heads, which hang down. I have brought righteous judgment to the Gentiles. I have spared the bruised reeds and the smoking flax. Behold the judgment that has presented you with the truth. I created the heavens. I stretched them out and spread forth the earth. I am the creator, and am I not able to grant you all things?

Look unto me, and allow salvation to hold your hand and keep you. I am in covenant with you. I opened your blinded eyes and brought you out of the prison of sin. You sat in the darkness of a spiritual prison house. Now are you free. Give glory unto me, the Lord. Sing unto me a new song. Sing my praise from the end of the earth. The wilderness and the cities of the isles lift up their voice. The rocks are singing, and many shout from the top of the mountains. I am given glory and praise in the islands. I have gone forth as a mighty man and stirred up jealousy like a man of war. I have roared and prevailed against your enemies. I will make waste the things against you. I will dry up the pools that have stood before you. I will make darkness light before you and the crooked things straight. I will not forsake you, but I will uphold you and turn back your enemies. Your enemies shall be greatly ashamed, for they have been held by their chains of covetousness, which is idolatry.

DESPAIR, ENEMIES, GRIEF, AND WORRY

RE: RHEMA - Truth Has Been Presented by Judgment and Spared the Bruised Reeds and the Smoking Flax

Jesus has pity on the demise of the sparrow and then asks us if we aren't better to him than many sparrows. He knows our frame and that we are but flesh. He does not roll us together like scraps of paper and throw us in the refuse heap of life when we fail. Calvary was the ultimate expression of the love and depth of mercy in his heart. Everything that shows the most minuscule interest in him will not be destroyed. Behold how he continued to work with Peter, even after the resurrection. Grace does not give up easily. In fact, God's enduring love never quits. Our Creator was crucified and took our curse and shame and replaced it with his glory. We could have been executed and laid out in the tombs of grief and despair, but now we stand on the holy ground of hope and faith and declare his greatness. If he took our penalty when we did not ask, how much more will he contend with the enemies that try to bury us with their false declarations. Everything that the enemy could say or write against us has been nailed forever to the cross. We are free indeed! He will speedily avenge his elect against every unjust element that will rise against us.

By Moses Hightower

The way that you take is known of me. Your location in this life is known of me. The path you have traveled is known of me. I know all about you. I know your beginning, and I know your ending. Now look to me, your Beginning and your End. The day shall not end before you behold the clarity of my promises in your face. I shall bring the fruit of my promises to your mouth, and you shall taste of the fruit of my promises to you again. I have placed this fruit in your mouth many times. The taste of this fruit has never been sour or bitter. The only bitter things that you have tasted are the fruits of the things that you picked from the tree of covetousness and selfishness. Lean on me, and know that I am strong and faithful. The design of faithfulness is working in your life. This design cannot be marred, but it will not mix with the designs drawn by the engineers of the darkness and of the flesh. I am your engineer. Now allow the implementation of the spirit to control everything, and then will you behold the finished structures of victory and satisfaction. I have come that you might have life. Life is always abundant and never insufficient. The insufficiencies and empty possessions are from another source and not from life. I am life. In me, there is sufficiency and fulfillment. Cast off this leanness that has come from the meat of this world. I have come to give you manna from above. The manna from above is filled with all the spiritual nutrients necessary for completeness and wholeness.

Praise and worship that consumes us totally releases us completely! Trumpets of adoration that flow from the mouths of believers create a blowtorch of power that will consume every adversary before us.

End your search for things and search for me with all your heart. Search for the one treasure inside of you.

236. You must win me, but how will you win me if things are more worthy than I am?

Lord, thank you for allowing me to preach the gospel. I will not worry about those who do not believe my report because you will reveal your arm to whom you reveal it to. My description of you was as a root out of a dry ground. I am comforted that your ways are much higher than my ways and your thoughts are much higher than my thoughts. Although people looked for human beauty and intellectual philosophy, the gospel did not bring them a Christ with form and comeliness. I am honored for the revelation of the true gospel which describes you without beauty that fallen man desires. When you walked the earth, you were despised, rejected of men, a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief, and men hid their faces from you. In your eternal plan as the Lamb of God and in your humanity, you received the bruising of the Father's pleasure. You were put to grief, and your soul was made an offering for sin. The pleasure of the Lord prospered in your hands as you bore the keys of the kingdom upon your shoulder. Thank you for bringing your government to the earth. The increase of that government continues in its everlasting increase. I acknowledge you and give you praise, for in bearing the iniquities of all and by your knowledge, you justified many. I appreciate your willingness to pour out your soul unto death as you were numbered with the transgressors. You bore the sins of many and are making intercession for transgressors like me. You were bruised in a pleasurable manner. Now I lift up my head from my grief and despair. You have allowed me to be bruised in my trials; therefore, I am confident that by your grace I will become acquainted with the things of grief with my head lifted up instead of my head hanging down.

I cherish you, for you have brought righteous judgment to the Gentiles and spared the bruised reeds and the smoking flax. I give you thanks for allowing me to behold the judgment that has presented me with the truth. Lord, I praise you because you created the heavens, stretched them out, and spread forth the earth. You are the creator and you are able to grant me all things! I am confident in the fact that I can look unto you and allow salvation to hold my hand and keep me. You are in covenant with me, and I am grateful. I am honored that you chose to open my blinded eyes and bring me out of the prison of sin. I once sat in the darkness of a spiritual prison house, but now you have made me free. I give glory unto you Lord. I sing unto you a new song. I sing your praise from the end of the earth. The wilderness and the cities of the isles lift up their voice. The rocks are singing, and many shout from the top of the mountains. You are given glory and praise in the islands. I am content that you are my defense and that you have gone forth as a mighty man and stirred up jealousy like a man of war. You are the Lion of the tribe of Judah, and you have roared and prevailed against my enemies. Lord, you are my kinsman and redeemer, and you will make waste of the things against me. I thank you for drying up the pools that have stood before me. I praise you for expressing your resurrection power, and I rejoice as you make the crooked things straight and make darkness become light before me. I am relieved and thankful for your faithfulness. You will not forsake me, but you will uphold me and turn back my enemies. My enemies shall be greatly ashamed, for they have been held by their chains of covetousness, which is idolatry.

You have pity on the demise of the sparrow, but I know that I am better and of more worth to you than many sparrows. My soul is relieved because you know my frame and that I am but flesh. I rejoice because you do not roll your people together like scraps of paper and throw us in the refuse heap of life when we fail. Calvary was the ultimate expression of the love and depth of mercy in your heart, and I am in awe of your greatness. I give you praise for your enduring mercy. I acknowledge your grace as I behold how you continued to work with Peter, even after the resurrection. Grace does not give up easily. In fact, your enduring love never quits, therefore, does my heart rejoice. I am overwhelmed by your expression of love as my creator. You were crucified, took my curse and shame, and replaced it with your glory. At any time, I could have been executed and laid out in the tombs of grief and despair, but your mercy interceded for me. Now I stand on the holy ground of hope and faith and declare your greatness. You took my penalty when I did not ask; therefore I know that you will contend with the enemies that try to bury me with their false declarations. Everything that the enemy could say or write against me has been nailed forever to your cross. I am free indeed. I thank you for being my covert and justifier as you speedily avenge your elect against every unjust element that will rise against us. I give you praise.

RE: PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING - January 19, 2007

Jesus Christ has brought life and immortality to light by the gospel. We have been given the privilege of speaking the good news to a sorrow filled world. Jesus Christ swallowed up death in victory and prepared a feast of fat things in the mountain of Calvary. We are not feasting on the crumbs of condemnation, but we are filled with the faithful creations of celestial celebrations. Victory vanquishes our doubts as we constantly proclaim that victory. God has created a universe that stands out in the fabric of darkness like a compelling diamond. Its magnitude is many times beyond what our mind can measure. His grace and mercy are the measuring rods of that universe. Mercy is as measureless as God is. In fact, it never quits. Mercy and grace keep reaching and loving when everything else has given up. We are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand. He said that we were in his hand and nothing could pluck us out. Jesus will never allow the spirit of defeat and failure to remove us from his hold and his embrace.
