The Lord's Vengeance upon the Enemy's Campaign of Fear and Intimidation

By Moses Hightower

You are in a mighty conflict with principalities and powers. You have not gone to battle against these enemies without me. Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you. I am the same God who brought Israel out of the land of Egypt. Do not let your hearts faint. Do not fear and do not tremble, neither be terrified because of these mighty foes. I am the Lord. I go with you to fight for you against your enemies to save you. The number of your adversaries does not trouble me. Many intimidating foes have arisen against my body. There is help for you in me. I am your shield and your glory. I am the lifter of your head. Though the enemy has intimidated and threatened you with fear, do not be afraid. Do not be afraid of these enemies that have set themselves against you. I have arisen to save you. I will smite them upon the cheekbone. I will break out the teeth of the ungodly. Salvation belongs unto me. Remember, I have placed my blessing upon my people; therefore, do not fear their fear and do not be afraid.

The enemy has sent a campaign of fear and intimidation against you daily. The enemy intends to hamper your testimony by intimidating you. The stares of the spiritual enemies in dreams are terrifying. He has penetrated your dreams and attempted to corrupt the atmosphere of your peace and rest. The intimidating figures and icons of your dreams are real, and so am I. I am sanctified in you. I am the Lord of hosts. Allow me to be your fear. Allow me to be your dread. Do not draw back because of the beasts who come to war against you. Paul fought with the beasts of Ephesus. Do you think that the enemy has sent house cats to fight against you?

The enemy knows that he only has a short time to devour many. Do not become timid and fearful because of his rage. He hopes to restrain the word in you by intimidation. Do not allow his threats sent through dreams to deter you from prophesying and preaching. I am your sanctuary, a stone of stumbling, a rock of offense, and a snare to the foes of the word. Do not allow this bully to bind up your testimony. You will not perish by his hands. He is intimidating many by holding fear over their heads. Do not be browbeaten by this defeated foe. Do not be frightened away from the heritage of souls in your grip. He is attempting to scare you away from the territory that he has claimed for himself. Do not lose courage. I am in you to do a mighty work for you. Trust in me with all your heart, and do not lean to your own understanding, neither lean on your own concept of power. The battle is mine. Behold my actions on your behalf, and hear the voice of your Deliverer as I say, “The Lord rebuke you, thou intimidator. Get thee hence.”

I have rebuked the adversary. Now do not be restrained by voices that declare your losses. Do not be weakened by the sounds of strange figures that hang around to frighten you. I am your hope; therefore, the enemy cannot take your hope away from you. Go and encourage others in the peace that I have granted. Go and assure them that circumstances and demons obey me, the Lord, your God. Do not be afraid, but arise and speak. Do not hold your peace, for I am with you. No man shall set on you to defeat you. Arise. I have many people in these cities.

Conflict, Demons, Enemies, Fear, and Intimidation

"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 in a mighty conflict with principalities and powers, but I have not gone to battle against these enemies without the Lord. I will not be afraid of them, for God is with me. He is the same God who brought Israel out of the land of Egypt; therefore, I will not let my heart faint, neither will I fear, tremble, or be terrified because of these mighty foes. Jesus is the Lord. He goes with me to fight for me against my enemies to save me. The number of my adversaries does not trouble him. Many intimidating foes have arisen against God’s body. There is help for me in him. He is my shield and my glory. He is the lifter of my head. Though the enemy has intimidated and threatened me with fear, I will not be afraid. I will not to be afraid of these enemies that have set themselves against me. Jesus has arisen to save me. He will smite them upon the cheekbone. He will break out the teeth of the ungodly. Salvation belongs unto him. I remember that he has placed his blessing upon his people; therefore, I do not have to fear their fear or be afraid.

RE: RHEMA - The Lord's Vengeance upon the Enemy's Campaign of Fear and Intimidation

In Luke 18:1-8, we have a large commentary on how God uses vengeance. It begins with our need to pray and not to allow anything to cause us to quit or stop. It ends with the question of "will he find faith when he comes on the earth?" Faith is a gift of the Spirit and a fruit of the Spirit. Believing should be as natural and normal to the spiritual person as breathing is to a natural person. All the enemy’s information is spam and lies. Satan deals in libel and slander. God has already let us know that our enemies are his enemies. We are encouraged to stand still and see the salvation of God. We rest in his peace that he will complete us and every good work that pertains to us. We have not received the spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind. Jesus came for the very purpose to destroy the working of the devil and to the very one who had the power of death. Everything that the enemies says or charges us and God with is invalid. We should never try to verify it by even considering its thoughts. Unjust circumstances are going to come our way, but God will avenge his chosen people. Our enemy will try to divert our attention by getting us to look at what seems to be failure. Our victory is in keeping our hands and hearts lifted in praise and upon him who is the author and finisher of our faith!

By Moses Hightower

Worship in the beauty of holiness. Worship with a heart filled with contentment and godliness, then will your eyes see clearly and your mind reason with the oil of clarity and wisdom. Look unto me, and behold my joy. There is no sadness in me. I was a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief, but now sorrow and sadness have passed away in the grave where I descended. I left those things there. The Holy One was not suffered to see corruption, neither was I left in the clutches of sin and bondage. My victory is now your victory. My belly contained death, but I swallowed it up in victory. The sting of death is forgotten, and the strength of sin is withered. The power of the grave only has dominion over those who choose to go there without me. Hell's domain and its fire is only seen through my word by those who have accepted the invitation of grace and its escort to the chambers of marriage where your King and Husbandman awaits your hands of willing obedience.

RE: RHEMA - The Ropes of Grace and Love for Spiritual Walls of Resistance

Our walls are of salvation for our protection; however, a person can be walled in or walled out. Jesus removed the middle wall that partitioned off the Gentile’s access to God. Our desires turn into lust and will lead us into a maze of walls that we cannot find our way out of. The same One who tore down the walls of Jericho will tear down the walls of resistance that will keep us from his promises. The same One who empowered Sampson to tear down the gates of Gaza will overwhelm the gates of hell for us. If he is for us, there is no person or weapon that can separate us from the grace that flows to us by his love. He will not only pull down strongholds, but he will lift us above the dangers on the surface of life as ropes on a stage in the theater lift massive props. His words were never intended to be only footholds on the ledges of life but a stairway of wide safe landings into the great things he has prepared for us. Defeat has already heard its summons to depart. God is calling all the triumphant elements of eternity to our side. Our efforts are the flowing purpose of grace in our lives. He has not chosen us to be vessels of wrath but of mercy. We will leap over the walls of certain defeat and run through the troops of temptation with the armor of light. Revelation and light have come to expose the lies of the enemy and show us that his threats of demolition are fake and hollow. We have the weapons of demolition that are powerful through grace and confessions of our faith.

Go and speak the word and these trees shall be plucked up by their roots.

357. How shall the world behold the love of God if you are not thankful?

If you are grateful for my love toward you, then show forth the light of love unto others. The world awaits the light. When you have returned to me with a true heart of thanksgiving, then will you shine again and give glory unto me, your God. Come and dine with me. Come, eat, and drink. I have knocked on your heart. You answered the knock. Now sit down and sup with me. I have a chief meal to serve you. I have spiritual communion awaiting you.

358. How will you express the fruit of the cup of the New Testament in my blood if you do not come to the table of prayer and fellowship with me?

Lord, I give you thanks for your faithfulness. Though I am in a mighty conflict with principalities and powers, you have not left me alone to go to battle against these enemies. Because you are with me, I do not have to be afraid of them. You are the same God who brought Israel out of the land of Egypt. My trust is in you; therefore, I will not allow my heart to faint, neither will I fear, tremble, or be terrified because of these mighty foes. You are the Lord, and I can rejoice today because you will go with me to fight for me against my enemies. It is comforting to know that the number of my adversaries does not trouble you. Many intimidating foes have arisen against your body, but I am grateful that there is help for me in you.

Thank you for being my shield and my glory. I give you praise and honor because when I am cast down you are the lifter of my head. Though these enemies have intimidated me, threatened me with fear, and set themselves against me, I do not have to be afraid because you have arisen to save me. In my defense, you will smite them upon the cheekbone and break out the teeth of the ungodly.

Salvation belongs unto you, Lord. Because you have placed your blessing upon your people, I am comforted and I do not have to fear their fear or be afraid. Daily, the enemy has sent a campaign of fear and intimidation against me. He intends to hamper my testimony by intimidating me. The stares of the spiritual enemies in dreams are terrifying. The enemy has penetrated my dreams and attempted to corrupt the atmosphere of my peace and rest. The intimidating figures and icons of my dreams are real, but my heart rejoices because you are more real in my life. You are sanctified in me. You are the Lord of hosts. Now, I allow you to be my fear and my dread.

The enemy knows that he only has a short time to devour many, so I know that he has not sent house cats to fight against me. By your grace, I will not draw back because of the beasts who come to war against me. I will not become timid and fearful because of his rage, for you have not given me a spirit of fear. Though he hopes to restrain the word in me by intimidation, by your grace I will not allow his threats sent through dreams to deter me from prophesying and preaching.

Jesus, you are my sanctuary, a stone of stumbling, a rock of offense, and a snare to the foes of the word. You are mighty and I delight myself in you. You have given me power; therefore, I will not allow this bully to bind up my testimony. I will not perish by his hands. He is intimidating many by holding fear over their heads, but I refuse to be browbeaten by this defeated foe. I will not be frightened away from the heritage of souls in my grip. The enemy is attempting to scare me away from the territory that he has claimed for himself. I will not lose courage, for you are in me to do a mighty work for me. I will trust in you with all my heart and not lean to my own understanding, neither will I lean on my own concept of power. The battle is yours. I behold your actions on my behalf. You are my deliverer, and I am freed as I hear you say “The Lord rebuke you, thou intimidator. Get thee hence.”

Thank you for rebuking the adversary for my sake. You have supplied liberty, so I do not have to be restrained by voices that declare my losses. Your joy is my strength; therefore, I will not be weakened by the sounds of strange figures that hang around to frighten me. The enemy cannot take my hope away from me, for you are that hope. I will go and encourage others in the peace that you have granted. I will go and assure them that circumstances and demons obey you. I reject fear and arise and speak. I will not hold my peace, for you are with me. No man shall set on me to defeat me. I arise to your call, for you have many people in these cities. I must continually pray and not allow anything to cause me to quit or stop. I give you glory, honor, and praise, for you are faithful.

RE: PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING - March 10, 2007

I John 3:8 declares that the very purpose that Jesus was manifested for was to destroy or undo the working of the devil. Our God is able to do exceeding, abundantly, and above all that we ask or think according to the overwhelming power that is within us. It is time for every believer to decide and realize that the enemy has been destroyed as far as God is concerned. We have eternal power. We are not in the dimension of limited power but of all the sweeping power of the eternal past and the never ending future that is flooding the present with a deluge of unlimited proportions in the lives of those who will allow it to rush in. If Jesus is far above all principalities, power, and might and we have been raised up to sit together with him in his throne, then we are not at the mercy of the attacks of an enemy that is a fraud and a pretender. We need to rejoice in the victory of the cross and be as the multitude in Revelation 19 that acknowledges that the Lord God omnipotent reigneth!
