The Chief Engineer's Design of Faithfulness to Heal Us of Unbelief Using the Subtlety and the Craftiness of Traditions

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. 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 fruit 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. 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.

You have struggled in vain. Unbelief has intimidated you through the subtlety and craftiness of traditions. I have sent forth a new surge of my word and healed you of unbelief. Receive of this healing in your heart, mind, and tongue. Now speak of my glory and talk of my power before the sons of men. I am your star for this day and the next day. I am the bright star for every day. There is no day for you when I am not shining on your behalf. Believe the things spoken in your ears now and in times past. I am faithful and cannot lie. The work of redemption was accomplished before the foundations of the world and so were the things of victory concerning you accomplished. Walk into the finished works of Jesus Christ and worship with a new expression of faith and confidence. I am the Lord, your God, the only true God. l am the Alpha and the Omega. I am the first and the last. I am the star who shines for you and into the face of all darkness. I leave darkness without any comprehension or strategy against you. Look unto me, and behold your victories at your feet. Pick them up where you have cast your crown of humility, for I have placed all your victories at the feet of humility. Come and enjoin yourself unto humility and forsake all forms of lust and pride.

CRAFTINESS OF TRADITIONS, LUST, PRIDE, SUBTLETY, AND UNBELIEF

The way that I take is known of God. My location in this life is known of him. The path I have traveled is known of him. He knows all about me. He knows my beginning, and he knows my ending. I look to Jesus, my Beginning and my End. The day shall not end before I behold the clarity of his promises in my face. God shall bring the fruit of his promises to my mouth, and I shall taste of the fruit of his promises to me again. God has placed this fruit in my mouth many times. The taste of this fruit has never been sour or bitter. The only bitter things that I have tasted are the fruit of the things that I picked from the tree of covetousness and selfishness. I lean on Jesus and know that he is strong and faithful. The design of faithfulness is working in my life. This design cannot be marred. It will not mix with the designs drawn by the engineers of the darkness and of the flesh. Jesus is my engineer. I allow the implementation of the spirit to control everything. Now will I behold the finished structures of victory and satisfaction. The Lord has come that I might have life. Life is always abundant and never insufficient. The insufficiencies and empty possessions are from another source and not from life. Jesus is life. In Christ, there is sufficiency and fulfillment.

RE: RHEMA - The Chief Engineer's Design of Faithfulness to Heal Us of Unbelief Using the Subtlety and the Craftiness of Traditions

Traditions are confinement that limit God to man's understanding. We have not received the spirit of this world but the spirit of expectation that flows from God that we know of a surety that the things that are freely given to us of God. God not only delivered Israel from the Egyptians, but he fixed it where they were loaded down with rich treasures when they left. Our designer has engineered the existence of the universe. Everything is active in its function because of the power of his word. This very same powerful word is active in the realm of our lives to fill us with the designs of eternal greatness that will come to pass in our lives. Unbelief may try to interfere with the work of the Almighty, but all that it can do is just try. It has no power at all over the mighty working of the purpose of God in our lives. When we are renewed in the spirit of our minds the anointing of inspiration sets our feet and thoughts to dancing on the ballroom floor of creative grace.

Choose according to truth and righteousness then your name will not be blotted out of my book. Choose this day whom you will serve. I am the God that was on the other side of your salvation. Now I am the God on this side of your salvation. Will you serve the gods on the other side of your salvation when they sought to destroy you, and I saved you?

Rise up from your servitude of weak and beggarly elements and gods that cannot see, speak, nor walk. Rise up and activate the obedience of faith. I will reward you according to your faith and my loving-kindness.

I will choose according to truth and righteousness and then my name will not be blotted out of the Lord’s book. I choose this day whom I will serve. He is the God that was on the other side of my salvation. Now he is the God on this side of my salvation. Jesus saved me when the gods on the other side of my salvation sought to destroy me; therefore, I will not serve these other gods. I rise up from my servitude of weak and beggarly elements and gods that cannot see, speak, nor walk. I rise up and activate the obedience of faith. God will reward me according to my faith and his loving-kindness.

RE: RHEMA - The Economics of Worship and Praise

There are too many people that do not understand the wealth that is hidden in the chambers of worship and praise. Many would scoff at the results of worship and praise as just a side venue of the kingdom of God. When we look into the heavens, we see that it is the main dynamic that is at the heart of all activity that is going on there. If this is the substance of heaven’s activity, then this must be the standard for its economy. Every grand event and revelation seems to have its origin in worship. All the treasures of this life that are worth having are hidden in Jesus Christ who is the focus of worship. It appears that all of evil in time has been enclosed and surrounded by the prayers of the saints and the worship of the Lamb. Hell is bankrupt in the final total when worship adds up everything. Hidden in inner recesses of worship and praise is the treasure of the ages. Pearls of peace and diamonds of faith shine like brilliant stars of the night against the darkness that would try to discourage us. People who really know how to worship are the richest people in the world. In their appreciation for all that he has done and is doing, they are able to ignore the false charges of liability that the father of lies hurls at them. Every kind of sorcery and witchcraft may come against the believer, but they are running a scam that has no real resources to begin with. Worshipers are rich King's kids.

By Moses Hightower

(Continued)

Tribulation arises because of the word. Do not be offended. You must have root in yourself. If you do not have root in yourself, then the word will be as seed among thorns. You shall be a hearer of the word, but the care of this world and the deceitfulness of riches will choke the word, and then you will become unfruitful. Be honest with yourself and humble yourself. You are proud. Look upon yourself with a sincere heart, for you will not be able to stand during the time of this great pressure and anguish without humility.

195. Where will you find grace if you do not humble yourself and pray?

Take up the instrument of faith and begin refining the promises given you. You are begging and pleading. Rise up and refine what you have, then will you understand how much has already been given you. I have given you precious promises. Many promises lay along the roadside of your mind in the dust of carnality and unbelief. Rise up and dust off yourself with the fervent expressions of praise and worship. Rise up this day, and behold the effect of faith expressed in the due season of blessings. Due season is here. You are looking into the future and the yesterdays of the past. Look to this day and behold the power of salvation working on your behalf. Salvation came and brought the ransom price for sins.

196. Is salvation unable to bring the benefits of the ransom price?

RE: PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING - January 4, 2007

We are the address of deity in the earth. With the landlord on the premises there will not be any trespassing of the enemy. We have been bought with the precious blood of the Lamb. We are the private property of the King of kings. We are the design of the infinite and the ineffable. Scales of creation that are as large as the universe are the unlimited dimensions of the God who speaks his plans into promises for us. Job said in chapter 11 that if God can cut off, and shut up, or gather together who can hinder him? In the book of Daniel in the mouth of the king of the leading dynasty in the earth was recorded to say that God does his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth, and who can stay his hand? Jeremiah reminds us that if we can annul the covenant that God had made with the sun and moon or the night and the day then we can make his promises be null and void. More powerful than all the laws of the universe is the power of his word that uphold, propels, suspends and energizes every whirling sparkling orb that is in the universe. God has taken the time to stop at my place and speak to me and through me!!! We must never lose the awe of how astounding this is when we consider the magnitude of God and all that he is. When we take all this into consideration we have immutable promises that will never fail!

Lord, I thank you that the way that I take is known of you and that you know my location and the path that I have traveled in this life. I rejoice that you know all about me. You know my beginning, and you know my ending. I look to you, my Beginning and my Ending. I give you thanks that the day shall not end before I behold the clarity of your promises in my face. You shall bring the fruit of your promises to my mouth, and I shall taste of the fruit of your promises once again. You have placed this fruit in my mouth many times, and I praise you for never allowing the taste of this fruit to be sour or bitter. The only bitter things that I have tasted are the fruit of the things that I picked on my own from the tree of covetousness and selfishness. I lean on you, and I know that you are strong and faithful. I give you praise for the design of faithfulness working in my life. This design cannot be marred. It will not mix with the designs drawn by the engineers of the darkness and of the flesh. You are my engineer. By your grace, I allow the implementation of the spirit to control everything. Now I am beholding the finished structures of victory and satisfaction. Thank you for coming that I might have life. Life in you is always abundant and never insufficient. The insufficiencies and empty possessions are from another source and not from life. You are life. In you, Jesus, there is sufficiency and fulfillment. You have come to give me manna from above; therefore, I cast off this leanness that has come from the meat of this world. I give you thanks as I eat of the manna from above that is filled with all the spiritual nutrients necessary for completeness and wholeness. Lord, I know that I have struggled in vain. In times past, I have allowed unbelief to intimidate me through the subtlety and craftiness of traditions, but now I lean on you who has sent forth a new surge of your word and healed me of unbelief. I receive of this healing in my heart, mind, and tongue, and now will I speak of your glory and talk of your power before the sons of men. You are my star for this day and the next day. You are the bright star for every day. I am so grateful that there is no day when you are not shining on my behalf. I believe the things spoken in my ears now and in times past, and I know of a truth that you are faithful and cannot lie. The work of redemption was accomplished before the foundations of the world and so were the things of victory concerning me accomplished. I walk into your finished works, and I worship you with a new expression of faith and confidence. Jesus, you are the Lord, my God, the only true God. You are the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last. You are the star who shines for me and into the face of all darkness. I thank you for leaving darkness without any comprehension or strategy against me. I look unto you, and I behold many victories at my feet. I pick them up where I have cast my crown of humility, for you have placed all my victories at the feet of humility. By grace, I enjoin myself unto humility and forsake all forms of lust and pride.

Thank you for showing me that traditions are confinements that limit you to man's understanding. Because of this truth and by your grace, I cast down the traditions and rudiments of men, and I embrace newness of heart and mind. I am rejoicing that I have not received the spirit of this world but the spirit of expectation that flows from you. I thank you that I know of a surety that you have freely given these things to me. Lord, I am so appreciative to you for not only delivering Israel from the Egyptians but for also allowing them to be loaded down with rich treasures when they left. You are the designer that engineered the existence of the universe, and everything is active in its function because of the power of your word. This very same powerful word that is active in the realm of my life will fill me with the designs of eternal greatness that will come to pass in my life. Although unbelief may try to interfere with your work, O mighty God, all it can do is try, for it has no power at all over the mighty working of your purpose in my life. I give you thanks for renewing me in the spirit of my mind with the anointing and your inspiration that sets my feet and thoughts to dancing on the ballroom floor of your creative grace. I rejoice and give you praise, for you are the King of kings and the Lord of lords, the Almighty.
