The Power of Enduring Grace in the Presence of Hindering Spirits of Error and Fear

By Moses Hightower

Grace came in a very special way. After prayer and praise unto the Lord, I listened for the Lord's reply and response. These are the words that I heard in my hearing,

I have not left you alone to accomplish impossible tasks. I am the comforter who lives inside of you. I have already promised that I would not leave you comfortless and that I would come to you. I am the mystery among the Gentiles, Christ in you, the hope of glory. If any man does not have my Spirit, the Spirit of Christ, he is not mine. Rejoice that I have declared you mine by baptizing you with my Spirit. I am the one Spirit, and where my Spirit is there is liberty. I have granted you liberty. Only do not use liberty for an occasion to the flesh. Walk in the Spirit, and you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

The anointing of my Spirit is upon the church, those called out by me and granted my name and my Spirit. This mighty anointing destroys every yoke. Go and say, “Come and learn of Jesus.” Take his yoke upon you and learn of him. His yoke is easy and his burden is light. Many are yoked to another spirit and do not realize it. Many are deceived in this hour. Go and turn them from darkness unto light with the words that I will place in your mouth. Deception is rampant. If it were possible, the very elect would be deceived by the power of the wicked one. Give no place to the devil in your life and do not allow your good to be evil spoken of. Shun the very appearance of evil, for in evil appearances, the testimony of Christ becomes a shadow of suspicion and complexity. Many of the young and unbelievers are stumbling over the blocks of evil appearances that have been used to build walls, which keep some out of the kingdom. Do not be a stumbling block for others. Go and be an epistle known and read of all men unto salvation, peace, and holiness.

Lift up your voice in thanksgiving. Open your mouth in faith. As you have received me, so walk in me. Be rooted and built up in me, established in the faith and abounding therein with thanksgiving. Walk on into the new dimensions before your face and feet. The door of joy is set before you. An enemy has veiled it with a cross of fear. I have not given you a cross of fear or a cross of error. I have set before you an open door, yet there are many adversaries. Do not halt because of the spirit of error and the spirit of fear. These spirits cannot hinder the power of enduring grace that labors for you. Fear and error have combined as a mighty team to detour you in a false and misleading path. Receive of this new anointing and abundance of grace that shall cause you to endure the cross of Christ for the joy that is set before you. There is joy unspeakable. There is joy that is full of my glory. There are buckets of joy to draw water out of the wells of salvation. Be lifted by the power of the resurrection and be assured of sufficient grace to abound unto effectual ministry and a pleasing walk of faith. Walk on in the light of my love. I am with you always, even unto the end.

Deception, Error, Fear, and Impossibility

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."

The Lord has not left me alone to accomplish impossible tasks. He is the comforter who lives inside of me. He has already promised that he would not leave me comfortless and that he would come to me. He is the mystery among the Gentiles, Christ in me, the hope of glory. If any man does not have his Spirit, the Spirit of Christ, he is not his. I rejoice that God has declared me his by baptizing me with his Spirit. He is the one Spirit, and where his Spirit is there is liberty. He has granted me liberty. I purpose not to use this liberty for an occasion to the flesh. I will walk in the Spirit and I will not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

The anointing of his Spirit is upon the church, those called out by him and granted his name and his Spirit. This mighty anointing destroys every yoke. I will go and say, “Come and learn of Jesus.” I will take his yoke upon me and learn of him. His yoke is easy and his burden is light. Many are yoked to another spirit and do not realize it. Many are deceived in this hour. I will go and turn them from darkness unto light with the words that he will place in my mouth. Deception is rampant. If it were possible, the very elect would be deceived by the power of the wicked one. I am determined to give no place to the devil in my life, and I will not allow my good to be evil spoken of. I will shun the very appearance of evil, for in evil appearances, the testimony of Christ becomes a shadow of suspicion and complexity. Many of the young and the unbelievers are stumbling over the blocks of evil appearances that have been used to build walls, which keep some out of the kingdom. I refuse to be a stumbling block for others. I will go and become an epistle known and read of all men unto salvation, peace, and holiness.

I lift up my voice in thanksgiving, and I open my mouth in faith. As I have received him, so must I continue to walk in him. I am rooted and built up in him, established in the faith and abounding therein with thanksgiving. I will walk on into the new dimensions before my face and feet. The door of joy is set before me. An enemy has veiled it with a cross of fear. The Lord has not given me a cross of fear or a cross of error. He has set before me an open door, yet there are many adversaries. I will not halt because of the spirit of error and the spirit of fear. These spirits cannot hinder the power of enduring grace that labors for me. Fear and error have combined as a mighty team to detour me in a false and misleading path. I receive of this new anointing and abundance of grace that shall cause me to endure the cross of Christ for the joy that is set before me. There is joy unspeakable. There is joy that is full of his glory. There are buckets of joy to draw water out of the wells of salvation. I am lifted by the power of the resurrection, and I am assured of sufficient grace to abound unto effectual ministry and a pleasing walk of faith. I will walk on in the light of his love. He is with me always, even unto the end.

RE: RHEMA - The Power of Enduring Grace in the Presence of Hindering Spirits of Error and Fear

Where iniquity abounds, grace does much more abound. Where lies and fear abound, faith and confidence are like a rolling sea. In the last days, God has promised to cover the earth with his glory as the waters of the sea. This means that God will defend his reputation as being faithful with a sweeping manifestation of his power in this hour. Isaiah 64 says that God will do those things that we looked not for. People may have looked for famine instead of feast. God will prepare the feast and work the miracles that they thought would never happen. In the time of Elijah, there was a mocking spirit that said that if God would open the windows of heaven the miracle would happen. He got to see it but was run over in the stampede to get to the miracle. Many will behold the miracle that they said in their hearts would not happen. They will not receive it for joy, but their own bitterness for not being right will destroy them. In the Old Testament, God caused unbelieving kings to tremble at his presence and make spectacular confessions of his power as they were forced to recognize it. As the church, we need to boldly declare the promises of God and realize we will be partakers of those things as they unfold. Those who stand in the shadows of their own unbelief will be swallowed up by the darkness, and we will celebrate the feast of faith in the light of God's abundant grace.

By Moses Hightower

I have given you fresh water to drink and fresh bread to eat. I have given you healing from the wings of the Sun of righteousness. I grant you a healing in your mind so that the wave of lust and pride from this last effort of the princes of this world do not snare you. Do not think that you can do it of yourself, but only by my grace and my power can this be accomplished.

RE: RHEMA - Eyesight from a Heavenly Head

Optics that are made by man will cloud up and are limited. God has no limited frames of reference to offer the church. We need not only to have our eyes anointed, but we need a new point of reference. Heaven looks at what is happening around us and is not disturbed. We look at it, and we are in turmoil and uproar. What seems to be a major storm to us is just a dusty footprint of heaven. Jesus is the light of our revelation. Our inspiration and illumination is shining from him who has dawned in our hearts with a light of greatness brighter than the sun. Without a prophetic vision, we will become so loosely connected to the promises of God that we will not be able to grasp any of them. As the head of the church, he has told us already what he has seen with eyes that are like a flame of fire. His eyes of love have already seen our final victory. We should not hear other voices or look at any images from any other source except from Jesus Christ. Our hope and expectation is flowing from him in a continuous video stream from the throne.

By Moses Hightower

(Continued)

I am your Sun of righteousness. I am the source of life. The source of life abides in you. Abide in me and allow my word to abide in you, then shall you ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you. You have the source of spiritual energy. I am the strength of your life, a well of water springing up into everlasting life. Everlasting life works in you. It is the resurrection power that raises the dead. This power can raise the dead.

338. Is it powerless to energize you?

While you stand in the presence of the unknown, clothe yourself with confidence in me. I am faithful. The unknown comes as a dark, deep sea of fear. The enemy has presented it as a place that you are commanded to jump into. Your mind will perceive many things if you have cast away your confidence. Take unto you confidence and rest in the arms and bosom of love. Go to sleep in my love and be assured that the one who carries you sees through the unknown. All things are known to me. I have taken you in my arms and walked into these things that are darkness and unknown to you. Rest. I am carrying you, sustaining you, keeping you, and assuring you of a safe journey through the sea of unfamiliar and uninvestigated territory. You are a child of God. I have led you unto this territory.

339. Did I draw you out of darkness into this marvelous light to give you back to the darkness?

By Debbie McBee

Lord, I thank you for your grace that came to me in a very special way. I give you praise for the communal relationship that you have given to me. I am so excited and overjoyed that you reply and respond to my prayer and praise. I acknowledge you as my Savior, and I know that you have not left me alone to accomplish impossible tasks. You are the comforter who lives inside of me. I am content in the knowledge that you have already promised that you would not leave me comfortless and that you would come to me. I am grateful that you are the mystery among the Gentiles, Christ in me, the hope of glory. I feel sorry for any man that does not have your Spirit, the Spirit of Christ, for he is not yours. Yet, I rejoice and I am glad that you have declared that I am yours because you have baptized me with your Spirit. You are the one Spirit, and where your Spirit is there is liberty. You have granted me liberty, and I purpose not to use this liberty for an occasion to the flesh. By your grace, I will walk in the Spirit, and I will not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

The anointing of your Spirit is upon the church, those called out by you and granted your name and your Spirit. This mighty anointing destroys every yoke. I will go and say, “Come and learn of Jesus.” Because of your grace and love for me, I can take your yoke upon me and learn of you. I am delighted that your yoke is easy and your burden is light. Many are yoked to another spirit and do not realize it. Many are deceived in this hour. By grace, I will go and turn them from darkness unto light with the words that you will place in my mouth. Lord, deception is rampant in this hour, and I know that if it were possible, the very elect would be deceived by the power of the wicked one. I am thankful for the faith and determination that you have supplied; therefore, I will give no place to the devil in my life. I will not allow my good to be evil spoken of. I will shun the very appearance of evil, for in evil appearances, your testimony becomes a shadow of suspicion and complexity. In this hour, many of the young and the unbelievers are stumbling over the blocks of evil appearances that have been used to build walls, which keep some out of the kingdom. By your power, I refuse to be a stumbling block for others. I will go and become an epistle known and read of all men unto salvation, peace, and holiness.

I open my mouth in faith, and I lift up my voice in thanksgiving unto you my Lord. As I have received you, so must I purpose to continue my walk in you. Thank you for rooting me and building me up in you, establishing me in the faith, and allowing me to abound therein with thanksgiving. With you as my guide, I will walk on into the new dimensions before my face and feet. The door of joy is set before me. Although an enemy has veiled it with a cross of fear, I look to you and I know that you have not given me this cross of fear or a cross of error. You have set before me an open door, yet there are many adversaries. You are with me, and I will not halt because of the spirit of error and the spirit of fear. These spirits cannot hinder the power of enduring grace that labors for me. Fear and error have combined as a mighty team to detour me in a false and misleading path, but I am responding to this new anointing. The abundance of grace that I am receiving shall cause me to endure the cross for the joy that is set before me. I am comforted because there is joy unspeakable. There is joy that is full of your glory. There are buckets of joy to draw water out of the wells of salvation. You have lifted me by the power of the resurrection, and I am assured of sufficient grace to abound unto effectual ministry and unto a pleasing walk of faith. I give you praise and now I walk on in the light of your love. You are with me always, even unto the end.

Lord, I believe that where iniquity abounds your grace does much more abound, and where lies and fear abound, faith and confidence in you is like a rolling sea. In the last days, I am comforted by your promise to cover the earth with your glory as the waters of the sea. This means that you will defend your reputation as my faithful God, and there will be a sweeping manifestation of your power in this hour. Isaiah 64 says that you will do those things that we have not looked for. Though some people may look for famine instead of feast, I am so thankful that you will prepare the feast and work the miracles that they thought would never happen. Many will behold the miracle that they said in their hearts that would not happen. In the Old Testament, you caused unbelieving kings to tremble at your presence and then make spectacular confessions of your power as they were forced to recognize it. I am grateful that as a member of the church you are granting me boldness to declare your promises and that we will realize that we are partakers of these things as they unfold. I worship you and I am privileged to celebrate the feast of faith in the light of your abundant grace. I rejoice.

RE: PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING - March 1, 2007

Ephesians 3:16 explains that God will strengthen our inner man with might by his Spirit. As we are strong in the Lord and the power of his might, we are able to withstand the wiles of the devil and quench his fiery darts. Self-effort on our part without God's assistance is a disaster. We can, however, do anything through him who strengthens us. Grace abounds to us so that we are able to have sufficiency in all things and abound to every good work. God's anointing breaks the yokes of the flesh and yokes us together with Jesus Christ. As we resist the demands of our own flesh and open the door to and yield to the Spirit of God, the heavens will open with not only visions but actions of God that we did not even ask for. Israel did not ask God to throw down stones from heaven, but he did. He stopped the sun and moon but went beyond that. He will perform the things that seem to us as elaborate exaggerations. Impossibilities will become the important facts of our life of faith. For a long time God has held his peace, but he will break forth with the cries of a powerful travail, and the floods of power will flood this world. God is about to boldly declare and perform the things that have been kept secret from the foundation of the world. He will perform them out of the mouth of his servants and will sweep our minds free of doubt.
