Do Not Be Bewildered by the Strategies of Men, for They Shall Be Bruised by the Pressure of Divine Wisdom (Part 1)

By Moses Hightower

Be persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature shall be able to separate you from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus, your Lord. You can confess this, but are you really persuaded?

You greatly concern yourself about this thing and that thing. You greatly concern yourself about whether this will happen or that will happen. You greatly concern yourself about whether you will be treated right or wrong. You are more than a conqueror through me. I have loved you with an everlasting love, and I have made every necessary provision for you. I have joined you unto me. Who can separate you from me?

Totally commit yourself unto me. Totally commit everything that you have unto me. If you belong to me and all that you have belongs to me, then who can take anything from the one who has all power?

Relinquish all the things that are happening to you. Now watch what I will do with all these things. Do not concern yourself any longer with the outcomes. I am the strong one in your life. I am the keeper of the house and the keeper of all your goods. Your goods are in peace. There is none stronger than I am. There is no one that can overcome me. Make sure that you are on my side, for he that is not with me is against me, and he that does not gather with me will be scattered. I will scatter your foes. Do not fear, for I have not brought you this far to see you bewildered by the strategies of men. You have come unto this point many times and cried out to me. I have heard your cry in the past, and I hear your cry in this present time. Stand still and see the rise and the fall of those who oppose you.

Be a hearer and a doer of the word of God, for blessed are they that hear the word of God and keep it. My word is as a fanfare before your blessing. Blessings are being showered upon you. My word has become an ornament for your blessings. My word is as the beating of a drum with successive strokes to call attention to a particular happening. Be prepared to march in the band of the blessed. I have called you unto the quarters where blessings and awards are given. I crown you with peace. Though you have tribulation, be of good cheer. I have overcome the world. I crown you with joy. Though you war with powers of darkness, be of great confidence in me, for I have subdued all powers.

Bewilderment, Fear, Injustice, Lack of Confidence, Opposition, Unfairness, and Wrath (Part 1)

By Milton Rodriguez

"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 am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature shall be able to separate me from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus, my Lord. I can confess this, and I am really persuaded. I have greatly concerned myself about this thing and that thing. I have greatly concerned myself about whether this will happen or that will happen. I have greatly concern myself about whether I will be treated right or wrong. I am more than a conqueror through Christ. He has loved me with an everlasting love, and he has made every necessary provision for me. He has joined me unto himself. Now no one can separate me from him. I totally commit myself unto God. I totally commit everything that I have unto him. If I belong to God and all that I have belongs to him, then no one can take anything from the one who has all power.

I relinquish all the things that are happening to me. Now I will watch what he will do with all these things. I will not concern myself any longer with the outcomes. He is the strong one in my life. He is the keeper of the house and the keeper of all my goods. My goods are in peace. There is none stronger than he. There is no one that can overcome him. I will make sure that I am on his side, for he that is not with Christ is against him, and he that does not gather with him will be scattered. He will scatter my foes. I do not fear, for he has not brought me this far to see me bewildered by the strategies of men. I have come unto this point many times and cried out to God. He heard my cry in the past, and he hears my cry in this present time. I stand still and see the rise and the fall of those who oppose me.

By grace, I will be a hearer and a doer of the word of God, for blessed are they that hear the word of God and keep it. His word is as a fanfare before my blessing. Blessings are being showered upon me. God’s word has become an ornament for my blessings. His word is as the beating of a drum with successive strokes to call attention to a particular happening. I will be prepared to march in the band of the blessed. The Lord has called me unto the quarters where blessings and awards are given. He crowns me with peace. Though I have tribulation, I will be of good cheer. He has overcome the world. He crowns me with joy. Though I war with powers of darkness, I will be of great confidence in him, for he has subdued all powers.

RE: RHEMA - Do Not Be Bewildered by the Strategies of Men, for They Shall Be Bruised by the Pressure of Divine Wisdom (Part 1)

When we lift our hands, we point toward the heavens. We are focusing on the one who is above all things. He rules in all the armies of heaven and over all the kingdoms of the heathen. There is power and might in his hand so that none is able to resist him. He changes the words of kings and potentates and sets others in their place. In the battle with Amalek (a type of our flesh), as long as hands were raised toward heaven, there was victory. When hands were down, Amalek prevailed. When we stop praising God and start to analyze and question, we get caught in the defeat of the flesh. We always triumph in praise. The name of the place where Moses lifted up his hands was named Jehovah Nissi. We have said that is the Lord our banner. Nissi is the Hebrew word that means that we announce with hands raised that the Lord is performing a great miracle here today. The pictograph in the Hebrew is that of a person announcing to the enemy that he is already defeated and must flee. We need to praise boldly and prophesy with fervent faith in the ability of the Awesome God that is for us. Men may accept us or deny us, but Jesus has accepted us in love before the foundation of the world. If he has accepted me, it does not matter who rejects me!

By Moses Hightower

I open your eyes to see the devices of enticement used by the enemy. Now behold the grace to defeat all these things. Do not lean to your own understanding, neither attempt to stand alone. The iron of others shall keep you sharp and alert for the contention with the subtlety of the enemy. The mighty have fallen in this kind of battle. Grace is given, and revelation is imparted so that you do not fall with the wise and the prudent. Only those with childlike hearts and faith shall walk through the front line of Bathsheba's wave of lust and beauty. Remember, there was a spirit speaking through the serpent. Remember, there was a spirit speaking through Bathsheba. Remember, there is a spirit speaking through the false prophets and the false teachers. Hear the voice of the truth, and your weapons of war shall not fall to the dungeons of spiritual poverty and defeat.

I have grace to defeat all these things; therefore, I will not lean to my own understanding, neither will I attempt to stand alone.

RE: RHEMA - The Fingerprint of Innocence and of Justification

If Jesus took one eighth of an inch of God and cast out devils, what could we do with all of God? Measures of the Old Testament were in comparisons to body parts. In the temple, there were pillars that were so many fingers wide. If Jesus took the devil out with that small measure of his unlimited power, then how much more can he take our guilt of sin away? Justification is to declare not guilty. The heavens are declared to be his handiwork. In the heavens, every galaxy has his voice print. Each galaxy vibrates with the energy that he touched it with when he spoke. If God washed the universe of the formless void in original creation, then we who are new creatures in Christ have been purged of the guilt and fear of sin. We are the people of his hand and the people of his pasture. If we know no one can pluck us out of his hand, then our hiding place is in the hollow of his hand. The same fingers that wrote in the sand to the exoneration of the woman taken in adultery has written in the sands of life around us and taken away our guilt. He is able to keep us from falling and to present us faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy. His blood did not only cleanse us one time from sin, but it cleanses us daily from all sin as it continues to flow in our lives.

By Moses Hightower

(Continued)

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.

329. 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.

330. What have you come to my kingdom for?

By Milton Rodriguez

Thank you Lord for the surety of your word and your unending love for me. I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature shall be able to separate me from your love. By your grace, I can confess this. In times past I have greatly concerned myself about this thing and that thing. I have greatly concerned myself about whether this will happen or that will happen because I doubted your faithfulness and commitment to me. I have greatly concerned myself about whether I will be treated right or wrong because of my immaturity and lack of an intimate knowledge of you. Now I do realize that I am more than a conqueror through you. I am so grateful that you have loved me with an everlasting love, and you have made every necessary provision for me. You have joined me unto yourself. Now no one can separate me from you, for we are one.

Because of your love, I totally commit myself unto you. I totally commit everything that I have unto you. I belong to you, and all that I have belongs to you. Now no one can take anything from you, the one who has all power. I gladly relinquish all the things that are happening to me and now I will watch what you will do with all these things. I will not concern myself any longer with outcomes. You are the strong one in my life. You are the keeper of the house and the keeper of all my goods. My goods are in peace. There is none stronger than you Lord. There is no one that can overcome you. I will make sure that I am on your side, for he that is not with you is against you, and he that does not gather with you will be scattered. You will scatter my foes; therefore, I will not fear, for you have not brought me this far to see me bewildered by the strategies of men. I have come unto this point many times and cried out to you. You heard my cry in the past, and you hear my cry in this present time. I stand still and see the rise and the fall of those who oppose me.

By grace, I will be a hearer and a doer of your word, for blessed are they that hear the word of God and keep it. Your word is as a fanfare before my blessing. I rejoice in you and in the blessings that are being showered upon me. Your word has become an ornament for my blessings. Your word is as the beating of a drum with successive strokes to call attention to a particular happening. I will be prepared to march in the band of the blessed. You have called me unto the quarters where blessings and awards are given. You crown me with peace. Though I have tribulation, I will be of good cheer. You have overcome the world. You crown me with joy. Though I war with powers of darkness, I will be of great confidence in you, for you have subdued all powers. When I lift my hands, I point toward the heavens and I give you praise. I am focusing on you, the one who is above all things. You rule in all the armies of heaven and over all the kingdoms of the heathen. It is comforting to know that there is power and might in your hand so that none is able to resist you. You change the words of kings and potentates and set others in their place. In the battle with Amalek (a type of our flesh), as long as hands were raised toward heaven, there was victory. When hands were down, Amalek prevailed. When I stop praising you and start to analyze and question, I get caught in the defeat of the flesh. I always triumph in praise. The name of the place where Moses lifted up his hands was named Jehovah Nissi. That is you, Lord, my banner. With my hands raised, I announce that you are performing a great miracle here today.

The pictograph in the Hebrew is that of a person announcing to the enemy that he is already defeated and must flee. By grace, I will praise you boldly and prophesy with fervent faith in your awesome ability that is for me. Men may accept me or deny me, but you have accepted me in love before the foundation of the world, and for this I give you praise. If you have accepted me, it does not matter who rejects me! For you are my great, glorious King and the lover of my soul.

RE: PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING - February 26, 2007

Water that flows out of the Rock of our salvation is the constant and consistent flow of love that will not be altered by any circumstances. Storms and scorn may whirl around me, but if my residence is built on his unshakable foundation, I will not be moved. Psalms chapter one describes the man that is planted by the rivers of water. His fruit and season will abound no matter what ungodly men are in force around him. Whatever he does will prosper and his spiritual vascular system will not languish. Our face is set like a flint, and the remarks of others cannot subtract from the promise or prophecy that God has spoken. Their derisive statements are like the buzzing of a fly around the elephant; it has no effect at all. God's love has spoken on our behalf and will be the testimony that thunders above every whimpering negative voice. God's companions hear his voice, and we need to hear his voice and it alone. God has not called us to debate his promises in the public forum or the private audience of our own mind. We will praise the name of Jesus and watch in the same with thanksgiving. No terror of the night or tangled garble of those who speak of things that they know not will ever be able to create a flood that would drown our faith.
