Our Gift Is Making Room for Us and Bringing Us before Great Men

By Moses Hightower

I have given you victory over yourself. You entered into my gates with thanksgiving and came into my courts with praise. I have taken up residence in your praises. In your praises, I have enthroned myself. Now sit down and sup with me, and I will sup with you. Count yourself blessed to be able to sup with the all-sufficient God of heaven and of earth. I am the God of the whole earth. Jesus is my name. I am the everlasting God, the eternal Spirit. I live inside of you. I have given you power over all manner of sickness and disease. Go and do as I did when I walked the earth in the man Christ Jesus. He is your example. As I demonstrated my power in him, I desire to work in you also. Rebuke fevers, and lay hands on those with divers diseases when they are brought unto you. Preach the kingdom of God and my righteousness wherever I send you. You have power to tread on serpents, scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. The privileges that have come to you because of the authority I have given you are to be cherished. You have been given influence in the kingdom of God and the kingdom of the world. Go and exercise the freedom and the mastery that you have been given.

You have a right to speak for me. The entire world has become your jurisdiction. You have been given liberty and power. Do not hide your strength, which is in me. You have power. The power that is in you is the power to work miracles. Do not doubt the ability that is in your gift. I gave this gift to you to use, not to bury and hide. The gift in you goes before you and makes room for you. It is a present that precedes you into the earth and grants you grace and mercy before men. Just as I gave myself for you, the present must be given before favor with men becomes yours. Arise and follow your gift into the world. It is a present that desires to give itself away. When the present is given, I, the Almighty God, will give you mercy before men. Your gift is a precious stone turning as it wills. Everywhere it turns, it prospers. Your gift is acting after its own nature. A gift is a contribution that will bring friends to your door, for every man is a friend to him that gives gifts.

Do not worry about the angry man or the wrathful man. Your gift will secretly pacify their anger and their wrath. Sow the seeds of the gospel everywhere the gift leads you. The signs that shall follow you shall be a testimony of the power of the gift leading you. Do not fear, but rise up and follow your gift. I will be with you everywhere you go to work with you and to confirm the word with signs following. All of the authority and power of the government of God is on your side. The power with you is greater than that of an army, a navy, or any military force. You are invested with more than enough power. My church is a great representative with full power to command everything that I have said unto it. Do not negotiate from a foundation of compromise. There is no need for compromise, for you have all power. I am the power of your life. I am the wisdom of your life. I am the righteousness of your life. Power, wisdom, and righteousness are on display in you as you spread the news that souls have been ransomed from death. Satan had the power of death, but I took away his key. He introduced sin, which is the cause of death. I have the key of death. Go and free people from the torture of death and desolation. I have given you the key. You are now a power of attorney with authority given by me to act on my behalf. Do not doubt the ability that is in you by the grace of God. I am in you doing the work. I am able to do exceeding abundantly above all that you ask or think, according to the power that works in you. Go and allow the gift to be presented to the people. Your faith is growing exceedingly, and charity is abounding in you. Go.

COMPROMISE AND DOUBT

RE: RHEMA - Our Gift Is Making Room for Us and Bringing Us Before Great Men

God has promised us that he will give us a mouth and wisdom that none would be able to gainsay or resist. God has given us power and gifts that produce actions that defy argument. None can argue the fact that a great miracle has been done if a man was blind and now he sees. Religious leaders wanted to kill Lazarus after he was raised from the dead because he was an irrefutable truth that God raises men from the dead. God places people in our ministry that are armed with x-rays and cat-scans from doctors and specialists that cannot be argued with. God will bring us in a natural process of the journey of the spirit before men who will spread the fame of Jesus Christ and his greatness that we boldly declare. Men who scoff and deny the miraculous will be consumed in the fire of the supernatural and be crushed in the stampede of those who are rushing to receive the blessing of God. The Lord who the king leaned on said that if God would open the windows of heaven there would be bread instead of cannibalism. God did open the realm of the supernatural by empowering the feet of lepers to create a storm of fear in the heart of the enemy. The man who doubted it was crushed as he tried to control the gate of access to the miraculous. Satan is powerless, and the One who is all powerful is working in us.

By Moses Hightower

Many have not found their places in the kingdom because they have not identified themselves with love, godliness, and contentment. Until worldliness has been despised and holiness embraced, then their God-given positions in the kingdom are hidden from the eyes of those who do not love the truth. While the carnal hope for a position in me without love and commitment, the roaring lion and beast of the darkness seek for them as prey. The leaders have sounded the alarm, but the carnal are walking into the traps of corruption and destruction willingly. Instead of winning the lost, the carnal spend their time running from their predators and even leading those they bring to the kingdom into the death traps of their enemies. How will you win souls to me without loving the beauty of holiness? If the souls you bring identify with your worldliness, then how will they escape the predators of the darkness?

RE: RHEMA - Spend the Currency of Faith in the Valley of Entrapment

Hundreds of voices in the choir of defeat will try to sing their song in our ears. Only one voice is heard by the sheep. His voice rises from the depths of our soul and soars on the wings of the wind. He spoke in the mouth of the prophets of yesterday and declares boldly in the mouth of his prophets today. God's unfailing love and care for those that he has chosen is the song that we will sing in our soul. Truly, the Lord is our strength and song and has become our salvation. Fear is the spoiler of the feast of the believer. God will always provide a table of provision in the face of the enemy that tries to squeeze us into a container of defeat. Victory's unlimited volumes are pouring out while we stand trying to catch a few crumbs without hands. Tables of bread of plenty are set for us in row after row of feasting. Faith brings us to the table of rejoicing with the traps of the enemy being sprung before we walked that way. Our enemy would try to divert us into the emotional mazes of never ending worry, but God leads us straight to the throne of grace. Faith's currency is on deposit in our account. God has given his measure of faith to every man. We need to go on a spending spree with faith. Satan has told us we are paupers when God has told us we are King’s kids with unlimited wealth.

(Continued)

Your lives are empty of high praises because you have ventured to the strange lands of self where you are now in exile with those who do not love me. There is no peace in this land where self plans a haven without a true love for me. There is no victory in this land where self plans a haven without the love of the truth.

260. Will you live in exile until the catching away of my bride that you might go to hell from there?

261. Or will you come from your choice of habitation and be caught away from the launching pad of faithfulness and sincerity?

Some have chosen to live in the caves that were supplied for a season. I have given caves as a shelter from the things which chased you in the past, but now you must come out of your caves of temporal dwelling places.

262. Must I dry up the waters nearby to create a new thirst for righteousness?

I thank you O Lord that you have given me victory over myself. I enter into your gates with thanksgiving and into your courts with praise. You have taken up residence in my praises. In my praises, you have enthroned yourself. Now I sit down and sup with you, and you will sup with me. I count myself blessed to be able to sup with the all-sufficient God of heaven and of earth.

You have given me power to rebuke fevers and lay hands on those with divers diseases. By grace, I will preach the kingdom of God and your righteousness wherever you send me. You have given me power to tread on serpents, scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. I cherish the privileges that have come to me because of your authority that you have given to me. I have been given influence in your kingdom and the kingdom of the world. I will go and exercise the freedom and the mastery that I have been given.

I am honored that you have given me a right to speak for you. The entire world has become my jurisdiction. I have been given liberty and power. I will not hide my strength, which is in you.

He introduced sin, which is the cause of death, but now you have the key of death. By grace, I will go and free the people from the torture of death and desolation. You have given me the key. I can now use the power of attorney with the authority given by you as I act on your behalf. I will not doubt the ability that is in me by the grace of God. You are in me doing the work. You are able to do exceeding abundantly above all that I ask or think, according to your power that works in me. I will go and allow the gift to be presented to people. My faith is growing exceedingly, and charity is abounding in me.

RE: PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING - January 28, 2007

According to the meaning of seven in the Hebrew, this year will be the year of the sword of the King. The seventh letter of the Hebrew language is the pictogram of a sword with a crown on it. Why is this important? Matthew 5:18 indicates that not one jot or tittle shall pass away until it is all fulfilled. None of the New Testament was written at the time of this announcement. This means that God laid heavy emphasis on not just each word but on each letter and piece of a letter. There were three prophecies at the Because of the Times Conference this week that this would be the year when every one that would allow God would become functional in the prophetic gifts. God has promised to make our mouth like a two-edged sword. Since prophecy is the best gift or the greatest gift, it seems that it will bring the whole arsenal of every other gifting with it as it functions in our lives. 2007 is the year when everyone who has laughed and ridiculed the prophetic gift will behold the miracles that it has created and see every word fulfilled. Yet, their portion will be their won bitterness in their wilderness of self because they so desperately need a word from God and have forsaken that avenue.
