The Light of Love Exploding in the Face of Incomprehensible Intents and Desires while Verbalizing Things Out of Sight

By Moses Hightower

The love of many is waxing colder and colder. Take heed that no man deceives you. Come away from the table of devils. Can you eat from the table of the Lord and the table of devils?

Many are coming in my name, saying, “I am Christ,” and shall deceive many. Iniquity is abounding more than ever before, and the love of many is at a very cold point. Love my law and me, and then will your heart be armed against being offended. Betrayal is rampant. Hatred has become a sea of coldness. Its waves flow through the earth like a river when it is out of control. The unfaithful shall be cast into this river of hatred, and many shall die for the word of God and the testimony that they hold. I have called you. I have chosen you. Now be faithful. How will you endure unto the end if you are not persuaded to be faithful?

How will you be caught away before the great day of my wrath with spots and wrinkles in your garment?

Am I pleased with spots and wrinkles in the garments of salvation?

Behold the power within you. You are born again of incorruptible seed by the word of God, which lives and abides forever. As a lamb without blemish and without spot, I was manifested for you. You have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, so love one another with a pure heart fervently. I redeemed you with precious blood, not with corruptible things as silver and gold. Now do not allow corruptible things to prevent you from loving one another. Only perfect love can successfully contend with fear. Unless you seek the love of God and abide in it, your heart will fail you for fear and for looking after the things which are coming on the earth. Take heed to yourself. Watch and pray always so that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass and to stand before me. Take heed, for you do not know the time of my coming. Be ready every twinkle of an eye, for I will come suddenly and without an announcement. I say unto you and I say unto all, “Watch.”

I have revealed myself unto you; therefore, you know who I am. Glorify me as God and be thankful, lest you become vain in your imaginations and your heart becomes darkened. Be holy as I am holy. Without holiness, your heart will become darkened and you will profess yourself to be wise and become a fool. Flee unholiness and you will not change my glory into an image made like to corruptible man, birds, four-footed beasts, or creeping things. These words are lights in your heart. Arise and shine. I have given you light. These words have exploded in the face of obscure intents and desires. You have the power to walk as a child of the light. You are no longer a child of darkness. Do not have any fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. The true light is shining in you. The darkness cannot comprehend this light that has lightened your eyes and heart. The darkness has no power to seize and possess the true light; therefore, walk while you have the light, and darkness will not come upon you. I commanded the light to shine out of darkness. I have shined in your heart to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. There is no other face where you can behold the light of the knowledge of my glory.

Look to me, Jesus, the finisher of your faith and you will see my glory. I am a radiant light, the treasure in earthen vessels. Do not be afraid. The excellency of the power of God rest upon you. It works in you mightily. Though trouble comes on every side, do not be distressed. Though perplexity comes as a ball of confusion, do not be discouraged. Though persecution unfolds as an exterminating tyrant, be assured that you are not forsaken. Though you are cast down, be broken on me, the rock of your salvation, for I will not allow you to be destroyed. My life, which is your light, will be manifest in your body in every trial, for you are delivered unto death for my sake. Through all these things, my life is made manifest in your mortal flesh. Death works in you, but life works exceedingly more. Do you believe this?

Then, as you have believed, rise up and speak. You are not looking at the things, which are seen. You are looking at the things which are not seen. The things which are seen are temporal. The things which are not seen are eternal. Open your mouth and speak of things out of sight.

Betrayal, Confusion, Fear, Hatred, Obscure Desires, Perplexity, Shadowy Intents, Trouble, and Unholiness

By Aaron Stickel

"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 love of many is waxing colder and colder. I take heed that no man deceives me. I come away from the table of devils. I cannot eat from the table of the Lord and the table of devils. Many are coming in God’s name, saying, “I am Christ,” and shall deceive many. Iniquity is abounding more than ever before, and the love of many is at a very cold point. I will love the Lord’s law and him, and then will my heart be armed against being offended. Betrayal is rampant. Hatred has become a sea of coldness. Its waves flow through the earth like a river when it is out of control. The unfaithful shall be cast into this river of hatred, and many shall die for the word of God and the testimony that they hold. Jesus has called me. He has chosen me. By grace, I will be faithful. I will not endure unto the end if I am not persuaded to be faithful. I will not be caught away before the great day of God’s wrath with spots and wrinkles in my garment. Jesus is not pleased with spots and wrinkles in the garments of salvation.

I behold the power within me. I am born again of incorruptible seed by the word of God, which lives and abides forever. As a lamb without blemish and without spot, he was manifested for me. I have purified my soul in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren. With a pure heart, I purpose to love others fervently. God redeemed me with precious blood, not with corruptible things as silver and gold. By grace, I will not allow corruptible things to prevent me from loving others. Only perfect love can successfully contend with fear. Unless I seek the love of God and abide in it, my heart will fail me for fear and for looking after the things which are coming on the earth. I take heed to myself. I purpose to watch and pray always so that I may be counted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass and to stand before the Lord. I take heed, for I do not know the time of his coming. By grace, I will be ready every twinkle of an eye, for he will come suddenly and without an announcement. The Lord says unto me and he says unto all, “Watch.”

Jesus has revealed himself unto me; therefore, I know who he is. I will glorify him as God and be thankful, lest I become vain in my imaginations and my heart becomes darkened. I will be holy as he is holy. Without holiness, my heart will become darkened, and I will profess myself to be wise and become a fool. I will flee unholiness, and I will not change his glory into an image made like to corruptible man, birds, four-footed beasts, or creeping things. These words are lights in my heart. I arise and shine. God has given me light. These words have exploded in the face of obscure intents and desires.

I have the power to walk as a child of the light. I am no longer a child of darkness. I determine not to have any fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather I will reprove them. The true light is shining in me. The darkness cannot comprehend this light that has lightened my eyes and heart. The darkness has no power to seize and possess the true light; therefore, I walk while I have the light, and darkness will not come upon me. God commanded the light to shine out of darkness. He has shined in my heart to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. There is no other face where I can behold the light of the knowledge of his glory.

RE: RHEMA - The Light of Love Exploding in the Face of Incomprehensible Intents and Desires while Verbalizing Things Out of Sight

Paul told Timothy in his first epistle that the Spirit speaks expressly in the last days of an explosion of evil. Departing from the faith and yielding to the spirits of deception, evildoers disguise themselves as love but are really betrayal and hatred. Yet, if iniquity abounds and grace does more abound, then there will be an explosion of love in this hour. Here, Expressly means super graphic in the Greek. Love will explode the myths of the darkness. A world dressed in the garments of religion would like to embrace us and offer us freedom from the holiness it calls bondage. We are walking in the freedom of the law of the Spirit of life and in the highway of holiness. It would be like driving off a cliff to our destruction to walk away from holiness now. God's excellence and power rests upon us. We will not even consider the cheap thrills of the things of this life. We are within reach of dimensions and treasures that are beyond the natural world. Love has supplied us with the vocabulary of faith and not the thesaurus of failure. Our desire in love is his desire for us to behold and receive the truly exceeding, abundance above all we can ask or think. We will go on to know that which passes knowledge. Cold mechanics of this world's reason will not prevent us from holding the diamonds and rubies of grace. We have this treasure in our earthen vessels, and we have just begun to enter the vaults of love’s treasures. Some temporary gratification or our own exculpation is not worthy to be compared with the glory that will be revealed in us. No device of the enemy will suppress the spiritual declarations of the imperceptible things throbbing in our hearts by his exploding love.

By Moses Hightower

Righteousness has been granted to you. Love has embraced you. Peace is now your reward. Joy is your strength, and mercy walks with goodness as a shield for your back. Look to me, little one. You have stared at the shadows of condemnation and weakness long enough. Behold your King. I am just and lowly, yet awesome and mighty. I have redeemed you from the will of your persecutors. Now allow the power of the will to be executed for you this moment. The power of the will is being executed for my name's sake and to make you free by the truth. You are freed and no longer bound; therefore, leap for joy. I have made you a son. Now enjoy the benefits of the covenant that have been instituted in your life for my name's sake.

RE: RHEMA - The Victory of the Cross and the Resurrection over the Antagonism of Distraction and Illusion

Our epistle was begun by the Author at the cross. He removed the distortions that were against us as he nailed them to the cross. His love became the dispersant of revelation’s light that removed the shadows of false illusions from the viewing screen of the mind and imaginations. False imaginations are the most ruthless giants of our lives. If we can purge our minds of the images of terror and replace them with the burning images of the unlimited supply and power of the Almighty, we will be free. The cross lifts its occupants up for all to see that God has driven the image of defeat deep into the chambers of destruction. In his face, we behold the image of our own, but we have been set free from defeat forever by the eternal sacrifice of his grace. Graves of defeat will never put our joy in its coffins. We have turned the graves of defeat into the flowing fountains of hope as we let the rivers of living water flow out of our beings. Resurrection power has thrown aside the rags of paupers and clothed us with the rich robes of priests and kings. At our feet lay the shattered foes of our forever.

Behold the kindness that I am showing to you each day that you live. Be abundantly grateful and experience me in a light of knowledge not known to those who casually give thanks. There is a super abundance of my goodness. Many live in the shallow places of this life because they have never filled their entire hearts with thanksgiving. Be overwhelmed with thanksgiving. I am filled with goodness. My generosity is plenteous. My kindness is a willing expression of my great love. I am the excellent God who is above all gods. I have come to live inside of you.

374. Of what value is that to you?

375. How much is that worth to you?

376. How often do you think about that reality?

O Lord, I am thankful that you do not change and that your Spirit still speaks expressly in these last days. Though the explosion of evil and deception attempts to disguise itself as love, your Spirit still warns of those departing from the faith and yielding to these spirits that are really betrayal and hatred. I am so grateful that you have not allowed me to fall prey to these evil spirits. I rejoice in the knowledge that while iniquity may abound, grace does much more abound, and there will be an explosion of your love in this hour. Your love will explode the myths of the darkness. I am overwhelmed by your goodness that allows me to recognize that the world dressed in the garments of religion would like to embrace me and offer me freedom from the holiness it calls bondage. I am walking in the freedom of the law of your Spirit of life and in the highway of holiness. Your loving-kindness has granted me mercy to see what it would be like driving off a cliff to my destruction if I chose to walk away from holiness. I give you praise my God, for your excellent power rests upon me. By grace, I will not even consider the cheap thrills of the things of this life. I am within reach of dimensions and treasures that are beyond the natural world. Your love has supplied me with the vocabulary of faith and not the thesaurus of failure. My desire in love is your desire for me to behold and receive the truly exceeding abundance that is above all I can ask or think. I will go on to know that which passes knowledge. Cold mechanics of this world's reasoning will not prevent me from holding the diamonds and rubies of grace. I have this treasure in my earthen vessel, and I have just begun to enter the vaults of your treasures. Some temporary gratification or my own exculpation is not worthy to be compared with your glory that will be revealed in me. No device of the enemy will suppress the spiritual declarations of the imperceptible things throbbing in my heart by your exploding love. I worship and praise your name, for you are worthy!

RE: PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING - March 18, 2007

We have this treasure in an earthen vessel. We have the power to make us more than conquerors. God will never be outdone by sin and the devil. If iniquity abounds, then grace does much more abound. If darkness is rolling in like a tidal wave, then God will empty a whole ocean for us of his power and grace. If darkness tries to make a camp in our door, then God will open up his everlasting doors and light will blast the darkness into oblivion. The love of many may wax cold, but we choose not to be one of the many but of the few who have been embraced by fervent and passionate love of the Savior. Perplexity will not prevail over the empowered. If we are born again of the incorruptible word of God, then incorruptible should be in our DNA. We have seen and tasted the powers of the world to come. We are not looking down and around us, but we are looking out beyond the darkness and up above the clouds.
