The Knock of the Bridegroom at the Door of My Heart
By
Moses Hightower
I have knocked at the door of your heart this morning. If you will hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to you and will sup with you. You must desire to sup with me if you are to receive the inspiration and fellowship that I have designed for you to receive. I have removed sleep from your eyes, but is your heart awake?
Does your heart know that it is the voice of your beloved that knocks?
I have placed my hand by the hole of the door of your heart, but you were not moved for me. You were moved for other things that had no real value. What value have you placed on this fellowship and communion that has been offered to you?
You must learn to open unto me immediately when I call at the door of your heart, or you shall miss my coming. Those who wait on me will hear me when I come and knock so that they may open unto me immediately. This is a precious thing that has been given to you. You have taken it for granted. Instead of hands of gratitude and fingers of affection for me, you have given your hands and fingers to other things in the morning. I could have withdrawn myself and left the door of your heart, but my loving-kindness motivated me to linger at the door of your heart. I am not far from anyone of my people. If they would only happily feel after me and seek me with all of their heart, they would find me.
The world cannot know me, but you know me. I have given you peace and many blessings. The things that I have given you are not as the things that the world gives, so do not let your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Rise up with a grateful heart and be filled with the voice of thanksgiving. Blessed are the people of the Lord who will be found watching. I will make everyone who watches to sit down and eat meat with me. Do not lose your relationship with me to a thief. I will come in an hour that you think not; therefore, be ready always. If you do not have faith to watch, then how will you have faith as a grain of mustard seed?
If you do not have faith to say unto yourself, “Watch”, how will you say unto the sycamine tree, “Be thou plucked up by the root and be planted in the sea”?
Arise and worship out of a love for me and not out of duty. Do you love me?
Then keep my words. I will come unto you continually if you love me and keep my sayings. These words that you are hearing are the words of the Father who lives inside of you. Be thankful that you are called and chosen. Now be faithful. Prepare yourself for my coming. My wife will make herself ready. She shall be given grace that she might be arrayed in fine linen, clean, and white. She shall be adorned with the righteousness of saints. I have sent out the call unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. If you dishonor me, how will you be ready when I come for my wife?
Though you express gladness and rejoice to the music in your worship services, these things will not prepare you for the catching away of my wife. You must give honor to me in all things. Prepare yourself, for heaven is being prepared to open up as I prepare to judge and make war. The armies of heaven are prepared already. I shall tread the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of God. I shall come with my armies. All shall know that I am KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. Call on my name and be delivered, for the hour cometh when I shall come to judge all ungodliness. I have sanctified you through the truth. Remain faithful and receive the grace to endure unto the end, then you will be saved.
INGRATITUDE, COLD LOVE, AND SPIRITUAL SLEEP

God has knocked at the door of my heart this morning. If I will hear his voice and open the door, he will come in to me and will sup with me. I must desire to sup with him if I am to receive the inspiration and fellowship that he has designed for me to receive. He has removed sleep from my eyes, but my heart must be awake also. My heart must know that it is the voice of my beloved that knocks. God has placed his hand by the hole of the door of my heart, but I was not moved for him. I was moved for other things that had no real value. I have not placed a proper value on this fellowship and communion that has been offered to me. I must learn to open unto the Lord immediately when he calls at the door of my heart, or I shall miss his coming. Those who wait on him will hear him when he comes and knocks so that they may open unto him without delay. This is a precious thing that has been given to me. I have taken it for granted. Instead of hands of gratitude and fingers of affection for God, I have given my hands and fingers to other things in the morning. God could have withdrawn himself and left the door of my heart, but his loving-kindness motivated him to linger at the door of my heart. He is not far from anyone of his people.

I arise and worship out of a love for God and not out of duty. I love the Lord, my God. I determine to keep his words, and he will come unto me continually since I love him and keep his sayings. These words that I am hearing are the words of the Father who lives inside of me. I am thankful that I am called and chosen. By God’s grace, I will be faithful. I prepare myself for his coming. His wife will make herself ready. She shall be given grace that she might be arrayed in fine linen, clean, and white. She shall be adorned with the righteousness of saints. God has sent out the call unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. If I dishonor him, I will not be ready when he comes for his wife.

RE: RHEMA - The Knock of the Bridegroom at the Door of My Heart
Revelation's verses present a heavenly lover knocking on the door and desiring access. The Song of Solomon pictures the bridegroom on the outside and the bride asleep in the inside. When she gets to the door with a rather tardy response, he is gone. We do not want to allow ourselves to get in this relationship with Jesus. We want to be quick to hear and respond to the voice of the Holy Ghost. We do not know when he will come, and we must not be asleep. Just as the disciples were in the midst of the storm and he would have passed them by if they had not cried out, we need to cry out to him. He desires to share depths of relationships that we can only dream about. We can be weighted down with the cares of this life, but we need to lay aside every weight and sin that would easily beset us. We can be so busy doing good things that we leave the best undone. We can be in a Martha cleaning mode when we need to be in a Mary at his feet mode. We can be caught away in the mechanics of a service and not be enamored with the master of the wind. Our hearts can sail on the winds of the wings of musical inspiration when we ignore the giver of all inspiration. We need to prepare our hearts for the catching away of the bride of Christ. We need to be earnestly expecting his footfall at our door and his hand on our hand and lives. It is nigh, even at the door.

The light of love shined in your heart and face again. The spectrum of love presented you with the awesome power of my manifold character. I have revealed to you that I am love and light. This love and light have presented you with all that I am. My wisdom is a part of this love-light. My righteousness is a part of this spectrum of light. My counsel and might are part of this spectrum that allows you to be clothed in a garment of righteousness. This garment is of many colors. You have been given favor and position above all the principalities and powers. The rulers in the darkness of this world cannot lay claim to what you have been given, neither can their images boast of the emblem that you wear. Lay hold on this emblem of eternal life, and do not be ashamed of the good news within you. The power of God unto salvation cannot be annulled. It is an eternal expression that has stamped its emblem of life in the earth. I have drawn my line in time and stamped the proof of my love on the enemy's door and taken away his keys. Lift up your voice in praise, for I have made you glad again in the presence of spirits of sadness and misunderstanding.

RE: RHEMA - The Good Shepherd's Compassionate Help During a Distressful Dilemma
Our shepherd has given his life for the sheep. He will never disown us. Even if we deny him, he cannot deny himself. This statement in the scripture means that he will never unlamb himself. This is a strange term. It means that he will never unlove us. He will never go back and look at the cross and say that it was not worth all the sacrifice. He will present the church to himself with great joy. Every difficulty and distress has its resounding response in the actions and words of the good shepherd of the sheep.
God's voice spoke to me and said, "I will not lead you off a cliff, nor will I allow your feet to stumble down the mountains of impossibility. I will remove the mountains and turn the path before you into miracles. You are not reaping a harvest of famine, but the feast of fresh Rhema is on the table before you. My words will come to pass in your life and ministry. Let not the ropes and chains of stress cause you to worry or fret. Rejoice in my provision for you. Behold it is all around you."
God will take the images that we do not understand and turn them into portraits of power. He always brings us to visions of things that we do not understand in order to take us and lead us beyond our understanding into the throne room of the unlimited. We will cast off the garments of the defeated and wear the garments of victory. His glory will never be diminished by the evil work that is whirling around us. We are in the center of the whirlwind of Ezekiel, and we shall stand before the throne of freedom, even as other kingdoms rule the rest of the earth. He will carry us as his lambs to the resting place of peace.

Relinquish the leading of your life unto me and not yourself. I know the beginning and the ending. Trust the divine knowledge and wisdom of your owner. I created you. I know what specifications are within you.
240. What do you know about yourself?
You know very little in comparison to what I know about you. Before I fashioned you, I had a design for you.
241. Now that you are made, have I forgotten the design and the fulfillment of why I made you?

I am honored that you knocked at the door of my heart this morning. If I will hear your voice and open the door, you will come into me and will sup with me. I must desire to sup with you if I am to receive the inspiration and fellowship that you have designed for me to receive. I am grateful that you removed sleep from my eyes, but my heart must be awake also. My heart must know that it is the voice of my beloved that knocks. You have placed your hand by the hole of the door of my heart, but I was not moved for you. Lord, forgive me for being moved for other things that have no real value. I have not placed a proper value on this fellowship and communion that has been offered to me, but by your grace, I will learn to open unto you immediately when you call at the door of my heart, or I will miss your coming. Those who wait on you will hear you when you come and knock so that they may open unto you without delay. This is a precious thing that has been given to me. I have taken it for granted. Instead of hands of gratitude and fingers of affection for you, I have given my hands and fingers to other things in the morning. I know that you could have withdrawn yourself and left the door of my heart, but I am relieved by your loving-kindness that motivated you to linger at the door of my heart. I take comfort in knowing that you are not far from anyone of your people, including me. I acknowledge that I must happily feel after you and seek you with all of my heart that I might find you.
The world cannot know you, but I am so glad that I know you. Thank you for giving me peace and many blessings. The things that you have given me are not as the things that the world gives, so I will not let my heart be troubled, neither will I let it be afraid. I rise up with a grateful heart, and I am filled with the voice of thanksgiving. Blessed are the people of the Lord who will be found watching. You will make everyone who watches to sit down and eat meat with you. I purpose not to lose my relationship with you to a thief. Jesus, you will come in an hour that I do not think that you are coming; therefore, I must be ready always. If I do not have faith to watch, then I will not have faith as a grain of mustard seed. If I do not have faith to say unto myself, “Watch,” I will not say unto the sycamine tree, “Be thou plucked up by the root and be planted in the sea.”
Thank you for the grace to rise and worship out of a love for you and not out of duty. I love you Lord. I determine to keep your words, and you will come unto me continually as I love you and keep your sayings. I appreciate these words that I am hearing, which are the words of the Father who lives inside of me. I am blessed because I have been called and chosen. By your grace, I will be faithful. I cherish your love that has prompted me to prepare myself for your coming. As part of your bride, I will make myself ready. I shall be given grace that I might be arrayed in fine linen, clean, and white. I shall be adorned with the righteousness of the saints. You have sent out the call unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. If I dishonor you, I will not be ready when you come for your wife. Though I express gladness and rejoice to the music in our worship services, these things will not prepare me for the catching away of your wife. I must give honor to you in all things. I will prepare myself, for heaven is being prepared to open up as you prepare to judge and make war. The armies of heaven are prepared already. Lord, you shall tread the winepress with the fierceness and wrath of God. You shall come with your armies. All shall know that you are KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. It is so good to know that when I call on your name, I will be delivered, for the hour cometh when you shall come to judge all ungodliness. I am so grateful and full of thanksgiving that you have sanctified me through the truth. By grace, I will remain faithful and receive the grace to endure unto the end. Now, I know that I will be saved.
Revelation's verses present a heavenly lover knocking on the door, desiring access. The Song of Solomon pictures the bridegroom on the outside and the bride asleep in the inside. When she gets to the door with a rather tardy response, he is gone. I do not want to allow myself to get in this relationship with you, Jesus.

I can be in a Martha cleaning mode when I need to be in a Mary at your feet mode. I could be caught away in the mechanics of a service and not be enamored with the master of the wind. My heart can sail on the winds of the wings of musical inspiration when I ignore you, the giver of all inspiration. I prepare my heart for the catching away of the bride of Christ. I need to be earnestly expecting your footfall at my door and your hand on my hand and life. It is nigh, even at the door. I rejoice for your goodness unto me.
RE: PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING - January 21, 2007
From the very beginning of time, God has knocked on the door of man's existence desiring daily communion with him. It is this relationship that we were designed and created for. Here is the only place where we will find completeness and total happiness. God's fervent desire to be with us should warm our hearts beyond the ability of the cold hands of confusion to chill us. Jesus told us not to allow our hearts to be troubled. Yet, when we allow our fleshly mind to get the upper hand, we wander in the forests of fear. Jesus has not given us the spirit of dread but of power and the firm consolation that he loves us. Lackadaisical attitudes and taking the things of God for granted can rob me of the treasure of this relationship. I can become distant and cool to his approaches and recline on the bed of ease and lukewarmness. Our awareness of his soon return should heighten our urgency and intensity to be with him. In the Song of Solomon, it is declared that his companions hear his voice. It then follows the request of causing us to hear his voice. We need to spring to the door of our existence when we sense the presence of the beloved of our soul. He has come for us when he could have gone elsewhere. We are more than favored and honored. We are loved!
