Dreams That Were Shut Up in the Graves of Failure Are Energized with the Power of the Resurrection (Part 1)

By Moses Hightower

I am the light of the world. The whole world lies in wickedness and darkness. I have sent you to be a light unto the world; therefore, take heed to yourselves and forgive one another as I have forgiven you. You cannot say that you are exercising real faith if you do not forgive your brother. Go and shine the light of love as you show forth faith that will move the huge trees of unforgiveness in the earth. How can you say that you have supped with me when you are not plucking up the trees of unforgiveness?

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

I ate the Passover with the disciples before I suffered. I knew I would suffer, yet I ate the Passover with them. Have you drawn back from fellowship with me because of your sufferings?

Come and dine again. There is fresh bread and fresh wine for you. Offer thanks and express the fruit of your lips as you give thanks unto my name. I have granted you the benefits of the cup of the New Testament in my blood. Give thanks for the many benefits that you have. I am the Lord, your God, and the Messiah. My blood has made a way for you. Behold the blood of communion and realize that it has paved an open highway for you. There are no roadblocks on this highway. It is the highway of holiness for the redeemed. Only the redeemed are walking here. Only those who are bought by my blood are walking here. You have imagined that the officers of hindrance will prevent you from the goals set before you. Cast down these imaginations and high things sent from the devil. I have not brought you to the highway of my blood to hinder you in obtaining the blessings of goodness and satisfaction. I am satisfying your mouths with good things. Eat the bread of victory and rise up with the wings of an eagle. Rise up with youthful attitudes that have been renewed like the eagle. Do not travel any longer along the pathways of fear and regret. Soar above this pit that was dug for those who do not have the faith of Jesus Christ. The faith that is in you has a frame for your blessings. Secure the frame from faith's heart and place it on your desired vision.

Adversaries, Confusion, Dead Dreams, Defeat, Failure, Fear, High Things, Hindrances, Imaginations, Regret, and Rejections (Part 1)

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."

Jesus is the light of the world. The whole world lies in wickedness and darkness. He has sent me to be a light unto the world; therefore, I take heed to myself and forgive others as God has forgiven me. I cannot say that I am exercising real faith if I do not forgive my brother. I will go and shine the light of love as I show forth faith that will move the huge trees of unforgiveness in the earth. I cannot say that I have supped with Jesus when I am not plucking up the trees of unforgiveness. I will go and speak the word and these trees shall be plucked up by their roots. The world shall not behold the love of God if I am not thankful. I am grateful for God’s love toward me; therefore I show forth the light of love unto others. The world awaits the light. When I have returned to God with a true heart of thanksgiving, then will I shine again and give glory unto Jesus, my God. I come and dine with him. I come, eat, and drink. The Lord has knocked on my heart. I answered the knock. Now I sit down and sup with him. He has a chief meal to serve me. He has spiritual communion awaiting me. I will not be able to express the fruit of the cup of the New Testament in his blood if I do not come to the table of prayer and fellowship with him.

The Lord ate the Passover with the disciples before he suffered. He knew he would suffer, yet he ate the Passover with them. I have drawn back from fellowship with Christ because of my sufferings. I come and dine again. There is fresh bread and fresh wine for me. I offer thanks and express the fruit of my lips as I give thanks unto his name. He has granted me the benefits of the cup of the New Testament in his blood. I give thanks for the many benefits that I have. Jesus is the Lord, my God, and the Messiah. His blood has made a way for me. I behold the blood of communion and realize that it has paved an open highway for me. There are no roadblocks on this highway.

I do not travel any longer along the pathways of fear and regret. I soar above this pit that was dug for those who do not have the faith of Jesus Christ. The faith that is in me has a frame for my blessings. I secure the frame from faith's heart and place it on my desired vision.

RE: RHEMA - Dreams That Were Shut Up in the Graves of Failure Are Energized with the Power of the Resurrection (Part 1)

Joseph would not allow bitterness or unforgivness to destroy the dreams of the blessings of God while he was locked up in the prison on false charges. Jesus was crucified, and death tried to hold him. Like Joseph, we must not allow any bitterness or unforgivness to hold us or our dreams hostage. Joseph released his brothers who had wronged him and was so thankful to see them again. His dreams walked out of the prison as Jesus walked out of the tomb. We will with triumphant praise walk out of every circumstance that would try to hold us hostage to unthankfulness. Joseph saw the salvation of many people in view by the blessing of God. We must do the same as we view the sunrise of grace on the lives of others just beyond the horizon of negative circumstances.

By Moses Hightower

I have called you to testify concerning the resurrection. Do it with the power of my Spirit, and great grace shall be upon you. My grace labors and enables you to accomplish solutions to the complex and simple problems of the hour. Lean on me and not on yourself, and you will experience the fullness of my grace. I have a fullness that you have never experienced. I have a testimony that you have never expressed. I have a light that you have never beheld. Look again to the favor given you, and you will find the benefits in the gift that you have overlooked.

RE: RHEMA - The Pregnancy of Faith Cannot Be Aborted

Joshua was encouraged to be of good courage in his leadership of the people of the Lord. In battle, discouragement is the enemy that will take the heart of boldness away from us. We have not been given the spirit of dread. We have been empowered to close the mouth of the threats and lies of discouragement and depression. Our warfare does not include holding talks with these detractors of truth. Clouds of uncertainty may try to fill the horizon of our faith, but the same wind that blew into the upper room will disperse the clouds and shadows to reveal the sunlight of a day of victory. Grace and faith have prepared the battle field. Ambushes have been set and will be triggered by the shouts of praise in the mouth of believers. As the children sang that his mercy endureth forever, the eternal power of God was released like a mighty invisible host that destroyed all the tactics of the foe. Many promises are in the womb of our expectancy. Abortionists are on every corner and path with a design to terminate the promise of God. We have been promised that nothing shall separate us from what his love has implanted in our being. Hands that reach to destroy the work of God will be chained and led away captive as our thoughts can be brought into captivity to Christ.

Promises of healing and prosperity are the raw material of the artist of the ages. He has planned to open a gallery of grace to display the great power and fulfillment that will be born in the church. We are not barren but abundantly blessed by incorruptible seed. We should never look from the face of love to behold the face of terror. Phantoms of terror are in the shadows hoping to get our focus off the harvest and the heralding of the honor of our King. We will boldly declare the counsel of faith and silence the voices of doubt and fear that wave their signs of protest in our face. Soon the demonstrations of faithless protesters will be overwhelmed by the crowds running to the spoiled and conquered camp of our enemies.

(Continued)

Do not be disturbed because of the ailments incurred during this present time. The disorder and irregularity shall not dim my light of blessings. I have kept your blessings intact. The turmoil and upheaval shall not shake them from your heart. My word has gone out of my mouth. All of the pandemonium of your enemies shall not cause a reversal of my promises. Turn from the force of derangement and look to the order of my promises. They are sure and steadfast. You will receive them in due time. Allow love to shine through you so that your hands are not tainted with confusion when I place the blessings in your bosom.

348. What glory is found in receiving blessings when your heart is cluttered with anarchy?

I have peace that rules over confusion and uneasiness. You have allowed your mind to roam through the atmosphere of imagination. If you release your mind to venture into these territorial imaginations, you will be influenced by subtle ideas that foster dread and fear. Relinquish these territorial imaginations to me. Cast all your cares upon me. I care for you. The enemy has sent forth his forecast of stormy imaginations. The dark clouds of imaginations and the rain of threat is only a fantasy of the devil.

349. Why dream of your own defeat?

By Milton Rodriguez

Lord, I thank you, for you are the light of the world. The whole world lies in wickedness and darkness. You have sent me to be a light unto the world; therefore, I take heed to myself and forgive others as you have forgiven me. Truthfully, I cannot say that I am exercising real faith if I do not forgive my brother. I will go and shine the light of love as I show forth faith that will move the huge trees of unforgiveness in the earth. I cannot say that I have supped with you, Lord, when I am not plucking up the trees of unforgiveness. I will go and speak the word, and these trees shall be plucked up by their roots. The world shall not behold your love if I am not thankful. I am grateful for your love toward me; therefore I show forth the light of love unto others. The world awaits this light. When I have returned to you with a true heart of thanksgiving, then will I shine again and give glory unto you, my God. I come and dine with you. I come, eat, and drink. You have knocked on my heart. I answered the knock. Now I sit down and sup with you. You have a chief meal to serve me. You have spiritual communion awaiting me. I will not be able to express the fruit of the cup of the New Testament in your blood if I do not come to the table of prayer and fellowship with you.

Lord, you ate the Passover with the disciples before you suffered. You knew you would suffer, yet you ate the Passover with them. Forgive me for drawing back from fellowship with you because of my sufferings. I come and dine again. There is fresh bread and fresh wine for me. I offer thanks and express the fruit of my lips as I give thanks unto your name. You have granted me the benefits of the cup of the New Testament in your blood. I give you thanks for the many benefits that you have for me.

Jesus, you are the Lord, my God, and the Messiah. Your blood has made a way for me. I behold the blood of communion and realize that it has paved an open highway for me. There are no roadblocks on this highway. It is the highway of holiness for the redeemed. Only the redeemed are walking here. Only those who are bought by your blood are walking here. I have imagined that the officers of hindrance will prevent me from the goals set before me. I cast down these imaginations and high things sent from the devil. Lord, you have not brought me to the highway of your blood to hinder me in obtaining the blessings of goodness and satisfaction. You are satisfying my mouth with good things. I eat the bread of victory and rise up with the wings of an eagle. I rise up with a youthful attitude that has been renewed like the eagle. By your grace, I will not travel any longer along the pathways of fear and regret. I soar above this pit that was dug for those who do not have the faith of Jesus Christ. The faith that is in me has a frame for my blessings. I secure the frame from faith's heart and place it on my desired vision. I acknowledge your headship and I give you praise.

RE: PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING - March 6, 2007

Bitterness and unforgiveness are like acid to our soul. Our being was not made to be a container to house the monsters of misery that the lack of forgiveness creates. We have been freely forgiven without any strings attached. In the Old Testament, the day of atonement was marked by letting the scapegoat go into the wilderness to never return. We need to let the scapegoat of unforgiveness go and never bring it back. We need to let go of the pain and the hurt that others may have caused in our lives. It seems easier to hold on to it than to let it go. Yet when we release it, we are brought into dimensions of such freedom that we can sing, laugh, and dance all over again. The man who let the goat go had to bathe and wash his clothes before he returned to camp. We need never bring into our lives or into the existence of others the transgressions that are gone away on the head of the scapegoat. Jesus is the scapegoat for us. We should never try to revive what he has taken away. When we let it go and rejoice in mercy and forgiveness, whether others ask to be forgiven or not, we will soar like the eagles.
