Do Not Be Bewildered by the Strategies of Men, for They Shall Be Bruised by the Pressure of Divine Wisdom (Part 2)

By Moses Hightower

I have given you many precious promises. Did you ask for these promises?

Do not concern yourself with whether people believe you or not. The unbelief of man does not make the faith of God of no effect. I am true and every man is a liar. I have given you grace that you might be justified in your sayings and that you might overcome when you are judged. Do not worry and do not avenge yourself. Give place to unfairness, injustice, and wrath, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine; I will repay.”

Go and spread the tablecloth of love, and I will place fresh living bread on the table before you. The bread of life will feed your adversary and heap coals of fire on his head. Do not be overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. I have already planned and made provision for this thing that is forged against you. I will press and bruise it and force it out of its planned shape. I will bruise it by the pressure of divine wisdom. Your opponents mean it for bad, but I mean it for good. I shall crush these things as grapes are crushed. The juice of my goodness shall be poured into your cup. Do not despise the pressure of my wisdom, neither the violence imagined because of the hurt. Be assured that all things are working together for good. You are given grace to love me. I have called you according to my purpose, not the purpose of man. You are being oppressed. He who oppresses you, oppresses me, for I have sent you. Now behold the power of God working on your behalf. I shall overwhelm these things and subdue them under your feet. I have already conquered them beyond all of their resistance. Be confident, for I have crushed your enemies and your foes. You know me, the one that is from the beginning. You have overcome the wicked one. I speak to you as one who knows the Father. The word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the wicked one. Be assured of total victory. The things against you have collided with me. They are bruised, broken, and ground into small particles. Behold the wind of grace. It comes and shall blow these things away. Rejoice. I have fought for you.

Bewilderment, Fear, Injustice, Lack of Confidence, Opposition, Unfairness, and Wrath (Part 2)

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."

The Lord has given me many precious promises. I did not ask for these promises. By grace, I will not concern myself with whether people believe me or not. The unbelief of man does not make the faith of God of no effect. The Lord is true, and every man is a liar. He has given me grace that I might be justified in my sayings and that I might overcome when I am judged. I will not worry, and I will not avenge myself, but I will give place to unfairness, injustice, and wrath, for the Lord has shown me in his word that, vengeance is his and he will repay.

I will go and spread the tablecloth of love and he will place fresh living bread on the table before me. The bread of life will feed my adversary and heap coals of fire on his head. I will not be overcome of evil, but I overcome evil with good. He has already planned and made provision for this thing that is forged against me. God will press and bruise it and force it out of its planned shape. He will bruise it by the pressure of divine wisdom. My opponents mean it for bad, but God means it for good. He shall crush these things as grapes are crushed. The juice of his goodness shall be poured into my cup. I do not despise the pressure of his wisdom, neither the violence imagined because of the hurt. I am assured that all things are working together for good.

I am given grace to love God. He called me according to his purpose, not the purpose of man. I am being oppressed. He who oppresses me, oppresses him, for he sent me. Now I behold the power of God working on my behalf. He shall overwhelm these things and subdue them under my feet. He already conquered them beyond all of their resistance. I am confident, for he has crushed my enemies and my foes. I know God, the one that is from the beginning. I have overcome the wicked one. He speaks to me as one who knows the Father. The word of God abides in me, and I have overcome the wicked one. I am assured of total victory. The things against me have collided with God. They are bruised, broken, and ground into small particles. I behold the wind of grace. It comes and shall blow these things away. I rejoice, for the Lord has fought for me.

RE: RHEMA - Do Not Be Bewildered by the Strategies of Men, for They Shall Be Bruised by the Pressure of Divine Wisdom (Part 2)

Joseph and Daniel were noted in the word of God as having excellent spirits. They had dreams and prophetic promises of the direction and destiny of their lives. Whether it was lions or Pharaohs, it made no difference to the God who was with them and for them. If God be for us, it is irrelevant who is against us. Joseph had brethren who were jealous and belligerent, but God turned it all unto grace. If we will allow God's hand to work in our lives, he will bring every enemy low or remove them by whatever means that fits his purpose. Some people may try to undo the things that we labor so hard to get done. If God has built the house or done the work, they cannot ever overthrow it. God turns irritations in oysters into pearls. We are said to be the jewels of the King. If it is the pressure of heat or irritation, we will come forth more precious than gold.

By Moses Hightower

I am carrying you behind the line of the enemy's stronghold. Look and see that he has no foundation to stand upon. He only has deception as a weapon. Deception has sent forth lust and pride as easy targets for ignorant hunters of flesh-loving people who seek to be wise. Allow the law of the spirit of life to speak to you. You need not be drawn before the stones and the rocks of judgment. I have already gone there for you. Instead of the stones of judgment for your sins, I have invited you to sit with me in heavenly places in Christ and enjoy the exceeding riches of my grace. Love me with all your heart, and all of the weapons of deception will lose their appeal. In my bosom, there is no lust for the wisdom of the world, neither is there any pride to hang yourself on.

RE: RHEMA - The Everlasting Word Is Throughout the Ages

In the beginning was the Word. Every commentator agrees that before the existence of anything, all of the Word existed. It was not yet manifested whether in speech or flesh. All of the Word was in existence before Jesus and the apostles lived it out in manifestation. The accumulated total of God was already therein before the beginning. When we wake up and realize that the Word is eternal, and then we know that the promise that we needed today or will need tomorrow existed in him before the world began. This lets us know the fantastic thoughts and plans that he has always had for us. Time will not diminish, and events will never be able to erase them. His word will be fulfilled in its season. It will come to pass in men that did not even ask to be a part of the fulfillment of his promises. We can rejoice in the fact that he has made us the linchpin of the wheel of his prophetic word.

By Moses Hightower

(Continued)

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.

331. Where will you spend eternity?

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

333. What will determine where you will spend eternity?

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

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

By Milton Rodriguez

Lord, I exalt you, for all of your promises are yea and amen. You have given me many precious promises. I did not ask for these promises, yet you gave them to me because of your omniscience and perfect plan for my life.

I will not concern myself with whether people believe me or not. The unbelief of man does not make your faith of no effect. You are true, and every man is a liar. You alone are the King eternal. I thank you for the grace that you have given unto me that I might be justified in my sayings and that I might overcome when I am judged. I will not worry. I give you praise, for you have granted me solace for my soul. Your love constrains me and frees me from avenging myself against my enemies. By your grace, I will give place to unfairness, injustice, and wrath, for vengeance is yours and you will repay.

I will go and spread the tablecloth of love, and you will place fresh, living bread on the table before me. The bread of life will feed my adversary and heap coals of fire on his head. By your grace, I will not be overcome of evil, but I will overcome evil with good. I am rejoicing because you have already planned and made provision for this thing that is forged against me. You will press and bruise it and force it out of its planned shape. You will bruise it by the pressure of your divine wisdom. My opponents mean it for bad, but you mean it for good. You shall crush these things as grapes are crushed. The juice of your goodness shall be poured into my cup. I have found solace in you; therefore, I do not despise the pressure of your wisdom, neither the violence imagined because of the hurt. I am assured that all things are working together for good. You have given me grace to precipitate your love. You called me according to your purpose, not the purpose of man.

I am being oppressed, but he who oppresses me, oppresses you, for you sent me. Now I behold your power working on my behalf. I esteem you Lord, for you shall overwhelm these things and subdue them under my feet. You have already conquered them beyond all of their resistance. I am confident in you, for you have crushed my enemies and my foes. I know you, the one that is from the beginning. I have overcome the wicked one. You speak to me as one who knows you, the Father. My soul is relieved because your word abides in me, and I have overcome the wicked one. I am assured of total victory. The things against me have collided with you also. They are bruised, broken, and ground into small particles. I behold the wind of grace. It comes and shall blow these things away.

I rejoice and shout for joy. You have fought for me.
I take heed unto the example that you have provided for me regarding the lives of Joseph and Daniel, for they were noted in the word of God as having excellent spirits. They had dreams and prophetic promises of the direction and destiny of their lives. Whether it was lions or Pharaohs, it made no difference to you who was with them and for them. If you are for me, it is irrelevant who is against me. Joseph had brethren who were jealous and belligerent, but you turned it all unto grace. If I will allow your hand to work in my life, you will bring every enemy low or remove them by whatever means that fits your purpose. Some people may try to undo the things that I labor so hard to get done, and you are the one who grants me the power to persevere. If you have built the house or done the work, they cannot ever overthrow it. You turn the irritations in oysters into pearls. If it is the pressure of heat or irritation, by your grace, I will come forth more precious than gold and as a jewel to you, my King. You are the Almighty, and you do all things well.

RE: PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING - February 27, 2007

Resistance in the exercise realm of the physical builds strength. God will give us such powerful words that none will be able to resist them. Our actions will be to run into the strong tower of the name of the Lord and not flee as refugees from a plague of fear. Faith has built its pavilions along our pathways. Provision is the table that we feast on in the presence of impossibility. We have seen the promises afar off, and we have embraced them and will not let them go. Nothing that anyone says or does mutes the promises of God. God is never less or more than he is and will always be. Then, no living being can subtract one iota from his certainty. Our promise of overwhelming victory will tumble down on the heads of all the heralds of doom like the walls of Jericho did on its inhabitants, and we will divide the spoil of the abundant victory in the face of all that are around us.
