The Sword of Prophecy against the Territorial Imaginations Forecast by Devils Producing Threatening, Stormy Thoughts

By Moses Hightower

Lift up your eyes unto the accomplishments of the Son of God. Behold them and note that there were no failures or shortcomings. Your faith is not in your accomplishments or your failures. Your faith is of me and in me. I have sent forth faith as fruit is sent forth from a tree. Your faith will not wither. It is growing exceedingly great because of my grace that I have given. Grace is laboring mightily. Behold this mighty laborer on your behalf. It is capable of achieving all things. My grace is sufficient. It is not lacking in any way. It is an expression of my love and holiness. Be assured that grace will not fail; therefore, do not be distressed about the future or the things that are beyond your control. Trust me to solve all things for you. When you asked me to be the Lord of your life, I entered in to exercise my ability for you in all things.

The present apprehensions cannot nullify my promises to you; therefore, do not be distracted by pain and worry. Though a host should encamp against you, do not allow your heart to fear. Do not be anxious for anything, but in all things by prayer and supplication let your request be made known unto me. I have peace that passes all understanding. I have peace that rules over confusion and uneasiness. You have allowed your mind to roam through the atmosphere of imagination. If you release your mind to venture into these territorial imaginations, you will be influenced by subtle ideas that foster dread and fear. Relinquish these territorial imaginations to me. Cast all your cares upon me. I care for you. The enemy has sent forth his forecast of stormy imaginations. The dark clouds of imaginations and the rain of threat is only a fantasy of the devil. Why dream of your own defeat?

You can be assured of victory; therefore, refuse the imaginations of the dark clouds and the flight of fancy winds. These things are only figments of strategies of demons attempting to shake your faith with illusions. Do not daydream any longer of your failure and the rejections in the wind. You have concerned yourself with things that only I can work out. The misgivings of spirits and men should not disquiet your praises. Offer praise in the face of the storm of adversity. There are no easy winds out here where the sword of prophecy is swung; however, be assured that I am in control of the winds that seem to be out of control. Pull your sword of truth, open your mouth, and swing the sword of the Spirit into the face of the storm. Now behold its calm and do not be disturbed by its harassment. It has badgered the saints and attempted to wear them out. Go and pour out the refreshment that is in the spirit of prophecy, which is my testimony. Take no heed of the eye of anxiety. It is fearful to the natural mind. Pierce its eyes with the words that are in your tongue, and go on from the considerations in your mind. Your mind will become a womb for apprehension if you do not swing the sword of the Spirit. Swing it. It is accurate and filled with my power, which shall destroy all the fearful concerns of the mind. Behold the defeat of doubt and anxiety. My capacity to conquer has been given to you. Now do not be anxious any longer about these uncertain outcomes. I have created panic among your foes, not inside of you. Only believe.

Anxiety, Apprehension, Distress, Harassment, Ignorance, Imaginations, and Stormy Thoughts

By Debbie McBee

"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light, and there was light."

I lift up my eyes unto the accomplishments of the Son of God. I behold them and note that there were no failures or shortcomings. My faith is not in my accomplishments or my failures. My faith is of him and in him. God has sent forth faith as fruit is sent forth from a tree. My faith will not wither. It is growing exceedingly great because of his grace that he has given. Grace is laboring mightily. I behold this mighty laborer on my behalf. It is capable of achieving all things. God’s grace is sufficient, and it is not lacking in anyway. It is an expression of his love and holiness. I am assured that grace will not fail; therefore, I will not be distressed about the future or the things that are beyond my control. I trust him to solve all things for me. When I asked him to be the Lord of my life, he entered in to exercise his ability for me in all things.

The present apprehensions cannot nullify his promises to me; therefore, I will not be distracted by pain and worry. Though a host should encamp against me, I will not allow my heart to fear. I will not be anxious for anything, but in all things by prayer and supplication I will let my request be made known unto him. He has peace that passes all understanding. He has peace that rules over confusion and uneasiness. I have allowed my mind to roam through the atmosphere of imagination. If I release my mind to venture into these territorial imaginations, I will be influenced by subtle ideas that foster dread and fear. I relinquish these territorial imaginations to God, and I cast all my cares upon him. He cares for me.

The enemy has sent forth his forecast of stormy imaginations. The dark clouds of imaginations and the rain of threat are only a fantasy of the devil; therefore, I will not even dream of my own defeat. I am assured of victory; therefore, I refuse the imaginations of the dark clouds and the flight of fancy winds. These things are only figments of the strategies of demons attempting to shake my faith with illusions. I refuse to continue to daydream of my failure and the rejections in the wind. I have concerned myself with things that only God can work out. The misgivings of spirits and men should not disquiet my praises. I offer praise in the face of the storm of adversity. There are no easy winds out here where the sword of prophecy is swung; however, I am assured that Jesus is in control of the winds that seem to be out of control. I pull my sword of truth, open my mouth, and swing the sword of the Spirit into the face of the storm. Now I behold its calm, and I will not be disturbed by its harassment. It has badgered the saints and attempted to wear them out. I will go and pour out the refreshment that is in the spirit of prophecy, which is his testimony. I take no heed to this eye of anxiety.

RE: RHEMA - The Sword of Prophecy against the Territorial Imaginations Forecast by Devils Producing Threatening, Stormy Thoughts

Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God that is prophetically fused with our mind and spirit. Faith is a fruit of the Spirit and a gift of the Spirit. If the sword of the Spirit is the Rhema word, which is the sharp sword that comes from our Savior's mouth that will destroy the devil, no wonder he fights us so hard about it. Satan knows this is his ruin. He learned that he was defeated on every turn by the word of God spoken in the temptation of Jesus. So we are going to repeatedly and constantly rejoice as we speak the word of God with boldness. As the disciples in Acts 4, we are letting God know of their threats, but he will stretch forth his hand and do mighty signs and wonders in the name of Jesus Christ. In Isaiah 45:25 and 26, we read that God will frustrate the tokens of liars and make to look mad or foolish the diviners, which is another word for false prognosticators or forecasters. He will make all their knowledge look foolish. Yet, what is next is the victory! God will confirm the word of his servant and PERFORM the counsel of his messengers. We have a message, and we will declare it.

By Moses Hightower

The lessons concerning humility have been set before your eyes and your heart. Do not deny the importance of these lessons, for they are the foundational stones of your salvation. Do not sit at the feet of the false teachers and false prophets, or their leaven shall destroy your faith. Beware, for I have warned all in my word, and now there is no reason to be deceived. Do not lust after the beauty of the false gospel, for it is the broad way and full of delicacies for the flesh. The false gospel comes as a beautiful woman bathing before a man with a lustful heart and mind. If you entertain it, you will be caught in its death trap. The words of the ministers of the false gospel are sweeter than honey. Remember, they are manifested as angels of light. Do not allow these transformed instruments to lure you into their chambers. Many have gone down the pathways of death, and many are already in hell's chamber of darkness. Many have become one with the spirit of error because they failed to heed this admonition. Continue to eat from the table of the Lord, and do not allow your children to suck from the breast of the false system of lust and pride, lest they become the witches and the sorcerers of the last days.

RE: RHEMA - The Approaching Night of the Evening Time

Our catching away unto him has been preached all of our lives. It will come when men are least expecting it. Many have tried to pinpoint an exact day, but that has not been given to anyone on this earth. We have been called to put on the armor of light and to put off the works of darkness. Our society is trying to redefine the family and to undo the threads of every moral fabric in our lives. Technology has opened a Pandora's Box of evil that people can be involved in every hour of the day and never leave their homes. We must compel ourselves to be sober and vigilant of the deception that is on every hand. We should be the most excited people on the earth because everything that you can feel and hear in the Spirit is pulling us upward. Heaven is anticipating our arrival. Our goal should be to stay ready and not to be getting ready. We will march triumphant out of this world.

If you squander the opportunity to be continually baptized with the Holy Ghost and with fire, then you will spend your time clothed with cold love instead of the fire of God. I am a consuming fire.

324. Then what should you be?

The heavens declare my glory and firmament shows you my handiwork, but you do not have to take a voyage to the heavens to find me. I will come to the repentant hearts. I will come to those who seek me with all their heart. You shall be found of me in the day that you seek me with a whole heart. Do not seek a spiritual experience, but seek me, the Living God. Believe that my name is Jesus and call upon that name. I will deliver all that call upon my name. I desire to grant deliverance in the sanctuary. Be sensitive to me. I desire to impart vision to the people.

325. How will they see things that are invisible if they only have human vision?

Lord, I am so grateful today that I can lift up my eyes unto you and your accomplishments as the Son of God. I behold them, and I note that there were no failures or shortcomings. My faith is of you and in you and not in my accomplishments or my failures. You have sent forth faith as fruit is sent forth from a tree. My faith in you will not wither. It is growing exceedingly great because of your grace that you have given to me. I esteem you greatly for the grace that is laboring mightily. I behold this mighty laborer on my behalf and I rejoice. It is capable of achieving all things. Your grace is sufficient and it is not lacking in anyway. It is an expression of your love and holiness. I am assured that your grace will not fail; therefore, I will not be distressed about the future or the things that are beyond my control. I trust you to solve all things for me. When I asked you to be the Lord of my life, you entered in to exercise your ability for me in all things.

My present apprehensions cannot and will not nullify your promises to me; therefore, I will not be distracted by pain and worry. Though a host should encamp against me, I will not allow my heart to fear. Because I trust you, I will not be anxious for anything, but in all things by prayer and supplication I will let my request be made known unto you. You are my peace that passes all understanding, and you have peace that rules over all confusion and uneasiness. In times past, I have allowed my mind to roam through the atmosphere of imagination. Because of your grace, I have learned that if I release my mind to venture into these territorial imaginations, I will be influenced by subtle ideas that foster dread and fear. I relinquish these territorial imaginations to you, my God, and I cast all my cares upon you, the one who cares for me.

The enemy has sent forth his forecast of stormy imaginations. I now know that these dark clouds of imaginations and the rain of threat are only a fantasy of the devil. Therefore, my rest is sweet in you and there is no need for me to dream of my own defeat. I am assured of victory; therefore, I refuse the imaginations of the dark clouds and the flight of fancy winds. These things are only figments of the strategies of demons attempting to shake my faith with illusions. You are faithful, and I refuse to continue to daydream of my failure and the rejections in the wind. In times past, I have concerned myself with things that only you can work out. The misgivings of spirits and men will not disquiet my praises. I offer praise and a victorious shout unto you in the face of the storm of adversity. There are no easy winds out here where the sword of prophecy is swung; however, I am assured that you are in control of the winds that seem to be out of control. I pull my sword of truth, open my mouth, and swing the sword of the Spirit into the face of the storm. Now I will behold its calm, and I will not be disturbed by its harassment. It has badgered many of the saints and attempted to wear them out. I will go and pour out the refreshment that is in the spirit of prophecy, which is your testimony.

I take no heed to this eye of anxiety. It is fearful to the natural mind, but because you have allowed me to put on your mind, I will pierce its eyes with the words that are in my tongue, and I will go on from the past considerations in my mind. My mind will become a womb for apprehension if I do not swing the sword of the Spirit. I swing it now. It is accurate and filled with your power. It is now destroying all of the fearful concerns of the mind. I am rejoicing as I behold the defeat of doubt and anxiety. Your capacity to conquer has been given to me. No longer will I be anxious about these uncertain outcomes, for you have created panic among my foes and not inside of me. I believe that faith cometh by hearing and hearing by your word, Lord. I am content in this knowledge and I believe that your word is prophetically fused with my mind and my spirit.

I thank you for faith, for it is a fruit and gift of the Spirit. The sword of the Spirit is the Rhema word. This sharp sword comes from your mouth, and it will destroy the devil. He knows that your Rhema word is his ruin, so it is no a wonder that he fights your people so hard because of it. He has learned that he was defeated on every turn by your word that was spoken in the temptation of Jesus. I am going to repeatedly and constantly rejoice as I speak your word with boldness. As did the disciples in Acts 4, I am letting you know of the enemy’s threats, and you are stretching forth your hand and performing mighty signs and wonders in your name, that all powerful name of Jesus Christ. In Isaiah 45:25 and 26, I have read that you will frustrate the tokens of liars and make them to look mad or as foolish diviners, which is another word for false prognosticators or forecasters. You will make all their knowledge look foolish, and my victory will follow. I give you honor, for you will confirm the word of your servant and PERFORM the counsel of your messengers. You have given me a message, and by grace, I will declare it. I give you praise.

RE: PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING - February 24, 2007

We live by the faith of the Son of God who loved us and gave himself for us. We may hear the voices of dread rise all around us as they look at the horizons of life. We have seen the one who can fill the empty horizons of life with creative power and life. He speaks, and the darkness has to go to its residence. Joshua helps us to see that the curtains of the night or the foreboding of defeat cannot close upon us. We can speak, and the sun of victory will shine as long as it is needed to give us the day of triumph that we have been promised. Fear can come and cut like a cold wind in our soul. Prophecy will then whisper in our ear to look just beyond the shadows and behold the beauty of the blessings that are presently being bestowed upon us. Jesus showed us how we could speak to the storm, and the sea of life could become a glassy surface filled with grace and miracles. He tells us that the same works that he accomplished will be in us and greater works than those. Prophecy in our mouth can reach up with its powerful hand and tear down all the publicity of doubt and disaster. It will then turn to us and unveil the theater of miracles that have been reserved for our viewing. Prophecy by its breath and wind can sweep the atmosphere clean of the smog of apprehension and misgivings. Our praise is set aflame by the fires of the prophetic word. Incense from the hearts of anointed prophets ascends before his throne as we glorify him.
