The Sunrise of True Spirituality, the Splendor of God's Love Flashing and Creating Light for a New Day and a New Experience (Part 2)

By Moses Hightower

Many eyes have grown weak because of the absence of joy. The joy of the Lord is not simply strength to leap and be energized for playing before me, but the joy of the Lord is also strength for weakened spiritual eyesight. When spiritual eyesight is restored, then shall the raging waters of the flood be observed without fear. Look closely at the waters of a flood harnessed by the high banks of mountains. There is no reason to fear the waters that flow onto another destiny. It is when there are no banks to border a flood that there is reason to worry. Come to the borders of holiness, peace, and spiritual understanding, and then will your fears be cast into these raging waters while you stand on the bank without fear. Have you sought the kingdom of God only?

Have you sought the kingdom of God and my righteousness?

Some seek the kingdom but not my righteousness. The kingdom of God is liken unto a merchant man seeking goodly pearls, who when he had found one pearl of great price went and sold all that he had. What kind of pearls did you come to the kingdom for?

Unless you came for me and my righteousness, then the kingdom shall become your enemy and unrighteousness shall become your love. Many seekers have cast their treasures in the sand of time because they never set their affections on me and things above. The sands of time are filled with used things from my kingdom because believers cast them to the ground because of frustration and misunderstanding. This is a reflection of their intent. They came to the kingdom for me to fix their lives instead of coming to the kingdom to be born again. This is the source of many distractions. What have you come to my kingdom for?

Unless you seek me, the Living God, then you will find treasures for the sands of time. Unless you seek me, then you will litter the sands with unwanted things that I gave you. Come from the hot, dusty sands of things and begin storing your treasures in heaven. Today has brought you a moment of eternity where light is from the Lamb. His light is a spiritual rainbow flashing after the rain of my Spirit upon you. Look to the magnificent rainbow of love and promise, and behold the light of wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, knowledge, righteousness, and the fear of the Lord. By faith, be baptized again with the light of love, and you will be clothed with humility and truth. Though many things seem to remain the same, all things are passing away. Time is passing away. It is not just another day. Time is passing away. Time shall rush on through a portion of eternity until it has exhausted the fuel of time, then time shall be no more.

Where will you spend eternity?

Why will you spend eternity in the place you are destined to go?

What will determine where you will spend eternity?

Are the sufferings of this present time worthy to divert you from heaven?

Why have you halted to tabernacle your hurts and your fears when the wind of wrath shall blow your sand tabernacle away?

Come and tabernacle a tabernacle worth building. My waters will only remain in the cisterns that I build. Unless I build the house, then you have labored in vain. Do not labor any longer for perishing meat, but labor for the meat that will never perish. I am emptying out my Spirit upon the hungry and the thirsty. Why is it that some of you are not hungry and thirsty?

Unless you cease eating and drinking from the reservoirs of the world, then you will only have an appetite for devilish and sensual things. Allow me to spoil your appetites for carnal things, and then will your appetite for true spiritual food be revived. Open your mouths wide, and I will fill your souls with living waters that shall wash away these appetites that have spoiled your desires for the things of the spirit, and then shall the sunlight of righteousness arise upon your faces, and a new day shall begin in your lives. The darkness shall dawn upon the faces of others, but they that know me and love me shall experience the sunrise of true spirituality. Be attentive, for I desire to minister to those with open hearts.

In times past, I have sought the kingdom of God only. I should seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness. Some seek the kingdom but not his righteousness. The kingdom of God is liken unto a merchant man seeking goodly pearls, who when he had found one pearl of great price went and sold all that he had.

They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. We know by experience and right translation that this means that those who rejoiced in God in the midst of tears will reap a harvest of joy. Sorrow may have tried to cloud our vision, but the brilliant light of the oil of joy has caused us to see the day of rejoicing that has dawned upon us. The children of the kingdom have placed their focus on the things that are above and not beneath. We are not looking for excuses for defeat, but we have seen the finish line and the treasures that await the victors. We have tasted the powers of the world to come. We are not satisfied with the meager menu of the flesh or of the things of this life. We will continue at the feast of his power and dwell in the pavilion of his praise. We will shout the glory of his kingdom in the glorious light of Love's spotlight. God has not put us on the highway of defeat to be smashed by the headlights of deceit. We are more than conquerors through his love. The light of the evening time is shining on a triumphant church that is reflecting the flow of his face in the glowing countenance of their face.

By Moses Hightower

The voice of the enemy seeks to discourage you and turn you from faith. Where will you turn if unbelief becomes your destination?

Unbelief is evil. It is a disease that spoils the heart and blinds you to the vision of the Lord. Shun even the appearance of unbelief. I am faithful; therefore, trust as a child, and do not yield to the effects of the voice waves of the spirit of antichrist. I have given you much; therefore, much is required of you. I have restored your lost desire for much prayer. Grace has leaped into your path again and arrested you one more time. Do not flee again unto the chambers of carnality and worldliness. You say, "When have I run to worldliness?"

The pride of life is of the world. The lust of the eye and the lust of the flesh are of the world.

RE: RHEMA - October 12, 2005

Our thoughts are too close to our problems. Our thoughts are too close to us, and the gravity of self and this world pulls us down. His thoughts are higher as the heavens are above the earth. His thoughts are not controlled by the pull of anything around us. Our thoughts are self-limiting where his thoughts do not have limits. His thoughts toward us are more in number than the sands of the sea. If the vivid imagination of men translates into such graphic violence that flows out of evil, how much more are the thoughts of good that could flow out of the rivers of the imagination of good?

Our thoughts are like thimbles compared to God thoughts that are deeper than the oceans that have not been measured. Our thoughts are like having a chain around both our legs and attached to a post of doubt. His thoughts are like a fiery chariot that is speeding through the universe. Many times, we feel like we are being thrown downward into destruction when we need to ride his thoughts upward into the imperceptible heights of his blessings. Our thoughts will never win the battle with fleshly thoughts. Spiritually-minded people have life and peace that flows like mighty rivers from the source of all blessings. We are commanded to purify our hearts if we are double-minded. Jesus said that evil thoughts proceed out of the heart. Our heart is the origin of thoughts, and the mind is the processing center. As a man thinketh in his heart so is he. We as believers should be the most optimistic people in the world. If we have a mental opinion or negative mental disposition, we need to get rid of our stinking thinking. Our mental inventory needs to be purged of all the negative agendas and filled with the word of the Lord.

Your power is not adequate to accomplish the things that must be done, for without me you can do nothing. Do not determine that you are a wheel or an axle because you can produce motion. Though you may be able to move people with your words, that does not mean you are producing true spirituality. The false prophets move people by their words, and many lying signs and false wonders are seen among them, yet they make the people twice the children of hell that they would have been.

298. What are you producing in the people that you minister unto?

Behold my power. I desire you to become more aware of the influence of my power in your life. I am the administrator of power. Yield yourself to me, and behold the working of my mighty power in your life. The activity of my power is awesome. If you could visualize the working of my power in your life, you would surely be confident of the greatness of it; however, you do not walk by sight, but you walk by faith. Only believe that I am greater than all other forces and powers. I am the power that moves all things. I am the power that sustains all things. I have all power. I have power to produce the changes that are needed in this life and in you. Behold my power.

299. Have you ever observed the power of heat?

300. Have you ever observed the power of sound?

Lord, you have revealed that many eyes have grown weak because of the absence of joy. I thank you for giving me an understanding that your joy is not simply strength to leap and be energized for playing before you, but your joy is also strength for weakened spiritual eyesight. I appreciate you giving me the illumination that when spiritual eyesight is restored, then shall the raging waters of the flood be observed without fear. I look closely at the waters of a flood harnessed by the high banks of mountains. There is no reason to fear the waters that flow onto another destiny. It is when there are no banks to border a flood that there is reason to worry. By your grace, I have come to the borders of holiness, peace, and spiritual understanding. Now my fears will be cast into these raging waters while I stand on the bank without fear. In times past, I have sought your kingdom only. I should have sought your kingdom and your righteousness. I am grateful, for you have shown me that your kingdom is like a merchant man seeking goodly pearls, and when finding a pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had. I have come to the kingdom for pearls of great price. Unless I come for you, O Lord, and your righteousness, the kingdom shall become my enemy and unrighteousness shall become my love.

Thank you for revealing that many who are seeking have cast their treasures in the sand of time because they never set their affections on you and the things above. The sands of time are filled with used things from your kingdom because believers cast them to the ground due to frustration and misunderstanding. This is a reflection of their intent. They came to the kingdom to have their lives fixed instead of coming to the kingdom to be born again. I am thankful that you have revealed this as the source of many distractions. I have come to your kingdom for your righteous. Unless I seek you, the Living God, I will find treasures for the sands of time. Except I seek you, I will litter the sands with unwanted things that you have given me. Through grace, I come from the hot, dusty sands of things and begin storing my treasures in heaven. Today has brought me a moment of eternity where light is from you. Your light is a spiritual rainbow flashing after the rain of your Spirit upon me. I look to the magnificent rainbow of love and promise, and I behold the light of wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, knowledge, and righteousness. By faith, I will be baptized again with the light of love, and grace will clothe me with humility and truth. Though many things seem to remain the same, all things are passing away. Time is passing away. It is not just another day. Time shall rush on through a portion of eternity until it has exhausted the fuel of time, then time shall be no more.

I will spend eternity in the place I am destined to go. I understand that it is my walk of faith that will determine where I will spend eternity. The sufferings of this present time are not worthy to divert me from heaven. In vain, I have halted to tabernacle my hurts and my fears, and the winds of wrath have blown my sand tabernacle away. I praise your name for your love and grace that enables me to go and tabernacle a tabernacle worth building. Your waters will only remain in the cisterns that you build. Unless you build the house, then I have labored in vain. By grace, I will not labor any longer for perishing meat, but I will labor for the meat that will never perish. You are emptying out your Spirit upon the hungry and the thirsty today. Some people are not hungry and thirsty. Unless I cease eating and drinking from the reservoirs of the world, then I will only have an appetite for devilish and sensual things. I allow you to spoil my appetites for carnal things. Now my appetite for true spiritual food is revived. I open my mouth wide, and you will fill my soul with living waters that shall wash away these appetites that have spoiled my desires for the things of the spirit. Now shall the sunlight of righteousness arise upon my face and a new day shall begin in my life. The darkness shall dawn upon the faces of others, but they that know you and love you shall experience the sunrise of true spirituality.

I must be attentive, for you desire to minister to those with open hearts. They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. I thank you, my King, for granting the understanding and the true meaning that those who rejoiced in you in the midst of tears will reap a harvest of joy. Sorrow attempts to cloud my vision, but the brilliant light of the oil of joy has caused me to see the day of rejoicing that has dawned upon me. Many have placed their focus on the things that are above and not beneath. I am not looking for excuses for defeat, but I have seen the finish line and the treasures that await the victors. Your great mercy has allowed me to taste the powers of the world to come. I am not satisfied with the meager menu of the flesh or of the things of this life, but my soul is satisfied at the feast of your power, and now I dwell in your pavilion. Your love for me motivates me to shout for joy regarding your glory and kingdom. You have not put me on the highway of defeat to be smashed by the headlights of deceit, for I am more than conqueror through your love. Hallelujah!!!!

RE: PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING - February 13, 2007

The joy of the Lord is the strength of our life. His joy is everlasting! Have we really stopped and analyzed the word everlasting? It is from the Hebrew word Olam, which means time out of mind or things that are hidden from our view. God sees the end from the beginning. His Spirit will reveal that which our eyes have not seen but is prepared for us. If we do not receive this portion of the information of joy, we will let the enemies' publications distort our expectations with his forecast. Joy has predicted and will deliver victory every time. God's prophetic word is the meat that is created to make men's hearts glad. Rejoicing and thanksgiving are the daily dynamics that energize our spiritual and emotional lives. The joy of the Lord is like the honey that Jonathan dipped into as it was running on top of the ground while the pride-induced fast of Saul, his father, was in place. The word said his eyes were enlightened. This word means that he saw glorious heavenly things that inspired joy and an attitude of victory. Joy is our honey and honeycomb from the Rock Christ Jesus!
