The Voice of Redemption Speaking Light and Order in the Face of Crumbling Kingdoms, Stars of Distraction, and Medics of Spiritual Insanity

By Moses Hightower

Your Redeemer lives inside of you. His hand is poised to bring down wrath upon all unrighteousness and ungodliness. In the face of arriving judgment, the glory of redemption and the power of his love are present. While the pleasures of sin continue to swallow up men into its chaotic belly of deception, the voice of love continues to move upon the face of wasted lives to command order and hope. Do not be distracted from love's power as lovers of iniquity drink it like water. Be drawn to me, and I will show you the glory of the gospel in the face of crumbling kingdoms and erupting dreams. If you are entertained by the inspiration of those whose hope is rooted in a lie, then you will taste the degenerate diet of those who have no hope.

My kingdom is not decaying. It will not disintegrate. If you are in fear, then you have placed your hope in the wrong god and the wrong kingdom. You are beholding the consummation of falling kingdoms. I have already thrown the stone of truth and sent the wind of judgment against these kings and their kingdoms. I am the stone of stumbling and the rock of offense. It is my breath that is blowing away these things. If you have reached to hold onto that which I am blowing away, then you will soar into chaos with the ungodly. The ungodly are not so, for they are as the chaff, which the wind drives away. I am terminating these things. Place your hope in the kingdom of the Stone, for of the increase of my government and peace there is no end.

Behold the creative power of my voice in the earth. In the face of obnoxious threats by voices of fear, the voice of redemption is speaking light and order in the lives of those who call on the name of the Lord. Under the duress (control) of iron-like uncertainty, the mighty constructive power of my word builds success while failure tears down your evil neighbor's lofty, cankering dream. Do not be dismayed, neither be distracted by voices from icons of religious pride. I have not feared fear, and I have not subjected you to the feet of terror and despite. The voice of the light within you is the voice of the Father of lights. The voice of the darkness stands in defiance of my command, yet at my name its image is bowed in your presence.

Do not be pulled from duty and responsibility by the defiance of unruly spirits roaming to and fro. They are stars of distraction and medics of spiritual insanity. Do not allow these spirits to be your practitioners. I am your teacher. I have not consulted the sorcerers of the age to help me in fulfilling my purpose. I am the Lord and I do not change. I have not blown this trash away and decided to use it for growth in my holy kingdom. This trash is contaminated with sin, and as the earth and the heavens it shall pass away.

Do not be dismayed by attitudes from the voice of misunderstanding. I am not slack concerning my promise as some men count slackness. Prepare for my coming. The world prepares to reel as a drunken man. I am coming for my bride in the face of this drunkenness. The day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night. The heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat. The earth and the works within the earth shall be burned up. All the things that man has placed his hope in shall be dissolved. Look unto me and behold how they will be dissolved. Seeing that these things shall be dissolved, how much more will I invalidate their effect against you?

Take your eyes off these things, and look for new heavens and a new earth wherein righteousness dwells. Be diligent that you may be found in peace, without spot, and blameless at my coming. Close your ears to the voices of shallow, unlearned, and unstable speeches. Do not listen to their voices, lest you are led away with the error of the wicked. Grow in the grace that is within you. Beware of the spirit of error so that you do not fall from your steadfastness. Hear the voice of creative power in your ears. Let there be righteousness, peace, and joy in my Spirit. Stand, for fear has been cast out.

Deception, Distraction, Tormenting Dreams, Fear, Obnoxious Threats, Unrighteousness, Ungodliness, and Voices of Spiritual Insanity

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."

My Redeemer lives inside of me. His hand is poised to bring down wrath upon all unrighteousness and ungodliness. In the face of arriving judgment, the glory of redemption and the power of his love are present. While the pleasures of sin continue to swallow up men into its chaotic belly of deception, the voice of love continues to move upon the face of wasted lives to command order and hope. I will not be distracted from love's power as lovers of iniquity drink it like water. I am drawn to Jesus, and he will show me the glory of the gospel in the face of crumbling kingdoms and erupting dreams. If I am entertained by the inspiration of those whose hope is rooted in a lie, then I will taste the degenerate diet of those who have no hope. God’s kingdom is not decaying. It will not disintegrate. If I am in fear, then I have placed my hope in the wrong god and the wrong kingdom. I am beholding the consummation of falling kingdoms. The Lord has already thrown the stone of truth and sent the wind of judgment against these kings and their kingdoms. He is the stone of stumbling and the rock of offense. It is his breath that is blowing away these things. If I have reached to hold onto that which God is blowing away, then I will soar into chaos with the ungodly. The ungodly are not so, for they are as the chaff, which the wind drives away. He is terminating these things. I place my hope in the kingdom of the Stone, for of the increase of his government and peace there is no end.

I behold the creative power of his voice in the earth. In the face of obnoxious threats by voices of fear, the voice of redemption is speaking light and order in the lives of those who call on the name of the Lord.

I will beware of the spirit of error so that I do not fall from my steadfastness. I hear the voice of creative power in my ears. I hear the expression, “Let there to be righteousness, peace, and joy in my Spirit. Stand, for fear has been cast out.”

RE: RHEMA - The Voice of Redemption Speaking Light and Order in the Face of Crumbling Kingdoms, Stars of Distraction, and Medics of Spiritual Insanity

Jesus Christ is soon to return for his bride. We must not be caught up on the whirling vortex of this world's fast deteriorating gravity. Life seems to be at such speeds, and we are caught in such multitasking that we must be careful to not leave but little time for our relationship with God. In the face of an awful world, we have a wonderful Savior. Isaiah 9:6 expresses that our wonderful Savior is from the Hebrew word Pey. Pey symbolizes the open mouth of God speaking creation into the chaos of the unformed. Voices of strangers and confusion will fill the air and our ears if we listen with the cacophony of deception. Lies and delusions are more popular than truth. Gossip and tale bearing have developed into an art form. All of these lies and heresies are spiritual pornography to the dedicated believer. We must tune out and focus on seeking the Lord and hearing his voice alone. Jesus Christ is the good Shepherd of the sheep, and he will continue to go before the sheep and lead them with his voice. Deadly predators may try to destroy the flock and their union with the shepherd, but his mouth is a sword and rod that will drive away the stranger and predator. We are told that the true sheep will not follow the voice of a stranger. Lust will lead to destruction those who hear the voice of a strange woman. Many voices are all around us in multiple venues, but there is only one venue for the believer to hear and live in, and that is in the presence of the Lord. Our Redeemer will not leave us at the mercy of the attacks of the crumbling walls of society. He has a fold that has peace and safety, and he is the only way in or out.

By Moses Hightower

You are not a minister of the gospel because of your human achievements. You are what you are by my grace. The grace that I have given is an effectual grace, which is laboring abundantly and effectually unto total victory and success in the kingdom of God. Fear not the threats of the enemy. You have abounded unto a good work. I expressed my fullness to save you. Now I am expressing my fullness in keeping you and enabling you to accomplish the fulfillment of my vision; therefore, fear not, neither be afraid of failure's threat.

RE: RHEMA - Freedom in the Trouble Zone of Spiritual Hooded Robbers

Our enemy has always been a thief and a robber. His ploys of fraud and duplicity have woven their web and traps around so many. We are not ignorant of his mindsets and ways of thinking. Our mental disposition is not that of victims but of victors. Goliath's spirit will defraud the people of God and fill them with dismay. There is a cause, and it is the triumph of good over the evil intent of the wicked one. God has called us out and cleansed us from all sin. We will not play in the darkened streets and alleys of fear where shadows harbor their own attackers. Although the mobs of discouragement and depression may come with their vehicles of stealth, the Lord has sent his host of armies marching down into our lives. The forces against us will be swept down the drain like a flash flood. Floods of joy that fill our lives are the enemy’s worst enemy. Troubles may set themselves in array against us, but we will not fear, for we have been set up on the rock of salvation that will never be shattered by the attack of the enemy upon our faith. We will boldly declare in the time of trouble that the very present help that we have is embracing us as we speak.

(Continued)

I will contend with those who contend with you, and I will save your children. I have said that I will feed them that oppress you with their own flesh. They shall be drunk with their own blood as with sweet wine, and all flesh shall know that I am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. Do not fear the voice of circumstances and the consequences of the rejections by man. I am not influenced by man's desires and will.

363. Who has taught me to make judgment?

364. Who has been my counselor?

Lord, I thank you for your promises, for they are sure. I know that you are coming back soon to return for your bride, and I desire to be a part of your bride. I must not be caught up on the whirling vortex of this world's fast deteriorating gravity. I am sorry for allowing distraction to invade my life. Life seems to be at such speeds that sometimes I get caught in such multitasking that I must be careful not to leave only a little time for my relationship with you. I realize that in the face of an awful world, I have you, a wonderful Savior. Your word in Isaiah 9:6 expresses that the words, my wonderful Savior are from the Hebrew word Pey. Thank you for the revelation of this word Pey, which symbolizes your open mouth speaking creation into the chaos of the unformed. Voices of strangers and confusion will fill the air and my ears if I listen with the cacophony of deception. In this world, lies and delusions are more popular than truth. In this world, gossip and tale bearing have developed into an art form. Lord, all of these lies and heresies are spiritual pornography to the dedicated believer. Help me Lord, for I must tune these things out and focus on seeking you and hearing your voice alone.

You are the good Shepherd of the sheep and I give you praise. I rejoice because you continue to go before the sheep and lead me with your voice. Deadly predators may try to destroy the flock and their union with you, my shepherd, but your mouth is a sword and rod that will drive away the stranger and predator. I believe your word that states that the true sheep will not follow the voice of a stranger. Lust will lead to destruction those who hear the voice of a strange woman. Many voices are all around me in multiple venues, but there is only one venue for the believer to hear and live in, and that is in your presence. My soul has solace because you are my Redeemer, and you will not leave me at the mercy of the attacks of the crumbling walls of society. I give you praise, for you have a sheepfold that has peace and safety, and you are the only way in or out. All glory and honor be unto you!

RE: PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING - March 13, 2007

In view of the spiritual darkness that is covering the land and gross darkness the people, we are diligently hearing and seeking to hear the only voice that can create light out of darkness. God's kingdom is not wasting away. We are preparing for the most dramatic moment in the era of the church, the rapture out of this world. Earthly kingdoms are already feeling the rumble of the stone of Daniel that will demolish them and scatter them like dust in the wind. In the midst of this chaos, there is a new and fresh beginning that is being spoken into the hearts of believers. Voices of detraction are everywhere. As we listen to the voice of our Beloved, we begin to understand that we must not allow other wave lengths or sounds to enter our hearing. We refuse to hear the voices of scandal and gossip. We will not hear the bearers of negative declarations or be a carrier of the same.

God has not given us over to the words of fear, treachery, and terror. His power has etched on our hearts the words filled with peace and power that reverberate in our spirit constantly. Galaxies of dark matter may try to swallow up his marvelous light, but they will fail completely. Heaven and earth are about to be shaken to their very foundations, but we have received a kingdom that cannot be shaken. The heavens and earth will pass away with a great noise, but we are celebrating and dancing to the sounds of joy unspeakable. Spiritual spin doctors and false prophets would like to fill our hearts with roughage and chaff. Creation's power is standing with us on the brink of a new dimension of eternity. We must continue to be sensitive to the Holy Ghost because as we yield ourselves to his daily working in us so will the rapture of the church come.

Matthew 25 gives us the five wise and five foolish virgins. They listened to a voice that lulled them to sleep. We cannot afford to be presumptuous about the voice we are hearing. The oil of the Holy Ghost is the anointing of spiritual understanding that comes out of an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. Our own fears and doubts can vest themselves in voices that echo down the corridors of our minds. We must be careful that we are not listening to the voices of the vanity of our own minds. In Ephesians 4:17-24, it speaks of the vanity of the mind and the spirit of the mind. My own spirit is not past tripping me up when it is walking in its own pride. People will say that they have prophecy that is beyond the commandments of the word of God. This is when they are hearing the spirit of their own mind and not the voice that gave the holy commandments. If we will be renewed in the spirit of our mind by the creative voice and Spirit of God, there will be a new creation in righteousness and true holiness.
