Come into the Presence of the Judge of the Earth and Minister unto Him

I have rescued you from the villainous lord that you served under. The depravity of the actions against you was cruel. You were led to believe that you had children and then told that you had no children. This is the action of a villain. What if Paul had been told that Timothy was not his son in the gospel?

The relationship between them would not have been natural. I am not the author of these perverted relationships fostered by devils. This kind of relationship robs my people of real love relationship and short-circuits my purpose for bringing people together. I cannot support such vile and wicked schemes. I am not despicable in my judgments. This is an atrocious act, a very brutal treatment for which the perpetrator must pay for. The devil is the architect that designed this evil against you. You innocently entered into this agreement unaware of evil intents calculated to use you. I am the judge of the earth and I will do right. Rejoice in me. Allow your horn to be exalted in me, for I have enlarged your mouth over your enemies. Rejoice in your salvation.

I am a holy God. There is none holy as I, for there is none beside me. There is no rock like me. The talk from the mouths of the proud should not cause you to fear. I weigh the actions of men; therefore, do not let their arrogance cause you to fear. I am a God of knowledge. The bows of the mighty men are broken. I am God, and I kill and make alive. I bring down to the grave and bring up. I make poor and make rich. I bring low and lift up. I raise up the poor out of the dust and lift up the beggar from the dunghill to set them among princes. I make them to inherit the throne of glory, for the pillars of the earth are mine. I have set the world upon them. I have kept your feet from falling and kept the wicked silent in darkness. By strength shall no man prevail. Your adversaries shall be broken to pieces, for I shall thunder upon them out of heaven. I shall judge the ends of the earth and give strength unto you when you feel faint. I will exalt the horn of my anointed.

My sheep hear my voice and another they will not follow. If they had been my sheep, they would have received you. They fought against you because they did not know me. Had they known me, they would have received you. Now they must know the consequences of rejecting whom I have sent. Come near and minister unto me. Do not entangle yourself in battles against them, for this is not your battle. It is mine. I will repay. Come into my presence and minister unto me. In my presence, you shall grow. I will give you favor both with men and with me.

"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."

Words of Light upon the Face of Arrogance, Atrocious Acts, Deceit, Lies, Mistreatment, and Pride

By Aaron Stickel

Jesus has rescued me from the villainous lord that I served under. The depravity of the actions against me were cruel. I was led to believe that I had children and then told that I had no children. This is the action of a villain. If Paul had been told that Timothy was not his son in the gospel, he would have been perplexed. The relationship between them would not have been natural. Jesus is not the author of these perverted relationships fostered by devils. This kind of relationship robs his people of real love relationship and short-circuits his purpose for bringing people together. He cannot support such vile and wicked schemes. The Lord is not despicable in his judgments. This is an atrocious act, a very brutal treatment for which the perpetrator must pay for. The devil is the architect that designed this evil against me. I innocently entered into this agreement unaware of evil intents calculated to use me. Jesus is the judge of the earth and he will do right. I rejoice in the Lord, and allow my horn to be exalted in him, for he has enlarged my mouth over my enemies. I rejoice in my salvation.

Jesus is a holy God. There is none holy as he is, for there is none beside him. There is no rock like him. The talk from the mouths of the proud should not cause me to fear. God weighs the actions of men; therefore, I will not let their arrogance cause me to fear. Jesus is a God of knowledge. The bows of the mighty men are broken. Jesus is God, and he kills and makes alive. He brings down to the grave and brings up. God makes poor and makes rich. He brings low and lifts up. He raises up the poor out of the dust and lifts up the beggar from the dunghill to set them among princes. God makes them to inherit the throne of glory, for the pillars of the earth are his. He has set the world upon them. God has kept my feet from falling and kept the wicked silent in darkness. By strength shall no man prevail. My adversaries shall be broken to pieces, for God shall thunder upon them out of heaven. He shall judge the ends of the earth and give strength unto me when I feel faint. He will exalt the horn of his anointed.

God’s sheep hear his voice and another they will not follow. If they had been his sheep, they would have received me. They fought against me because they did not know him. Had they known the Lord, they would have received me. Now they must know the consequences of rejecting whom God has sent. I will come near and minister unto the Lord. I will not entangle myself in battles against them, for this is not my battle. It is the Lord’s. He will repay. I will come into God’s presence and minister unto him. In his presence, I shall grow. The Lord will give me favor both with men and with him.

RE: RHEMA - Come into the Presence of the Judge of the Earth and Minister unto Him

Our example prayer includes the phrase, "Deliver us from evil." Evil in the Hebrew means more than wrong in fact, its list of words in Strong's includes misery, hurt, affliction, calamity, and distress among other things. We have a Friend that will deliver us from every yoke and bondage of the enemy. Our God is aware of the litany of things that prey upon our hearts and our minds. He will not let any of these things snatch us out of his hands or distance us from him. He has always said that our sins separated us from him. He never changes or leaves. Notice in the garden that after the sin of Adam and Eve that God shows up at the same place and the same time. Adam was hid among the trees. We allow events and the enemy to cause us to get lost among the trees of daily life. We wallow in the thickets of trouble and the forests of fear. Yet, he will meet us in the planted field of grace and goodness and share that harvest with us. We need to leave all the things that bid us behind and run into his arms in worship and praise. God will not disown us or disavow us. We are his delight!

By Moses Hightower

The Lamb was slain before the foundations of the world. The horror of great darkness fell upon the Lamb before you were created. Before the world was and before there was a sun, I was the smoking furnace and the burning lamp that passed between the torn pieces of the Lamb. Now I am the promiser who is fulfilling the promise declared by the sacrifice of the Lamb. The slaying of the Lamb before the foundations of the world was enough for your insufficiency. Now believe that you shall have spiritual children because of my promise. Fulfillment shall come because of promise, not because of your works. You are not worthy of the least of all my mercies and of all the truth that I have shown you. Stop looking at your efforts, and look again to the promise made to you. Believe the promises, and you will not faint in the face of the coming perplexities and fears.

You cannot buy the enemy's favor. Do not attempt to give him the gift of compromise for his favor. His wrath is perpetual and deadly. Your gifts will not change his mind. He has only one intent and that is to destroy you. Look no longer at this intimidating foe, but look to me and accept the blessing that I have already poured into you by my Spirit. I have made you a prince who has power with me and with men. It was given by grace and not by your works; therefore, rise up and present the banner and emblem of praise, which testifies of your blessings. Look and behold my glory in the face of your brothers and sisters. Look and behold the power of the Lord God in their faces. I am the miracle worker who has transformed their lives and made them glad. Be glad, for I have made you a coat of many colors. Be free to dream my God-given dreams of victory and power. You are free to live out the dreams of the Church and behold their reality in the presence of your enemies. Lift up your eyes from the pits of unbelief, the prisons of lies, and the distress of rejections. The reality of your God-given visions has dawned upon you. Now lift up your voices in praise, and receive the power of God to make your visions a reality.

RE: RHEMA - Our Inheritance Is Reserved, Undefiled, and Incorruptible

Our inheritance is in the treasury of heaven and spiritual vaults beyond the reach of hands that could steal or tarnish. We are partakers of wealth heard in the realm of the spirit that insulates us from the spiritual and emotional poverty that is so glaring in this present age. When difficulties and storms come into the world, men and women become hysterical and faint. We begin to praise the Lord because we have a revelation of his purpose in our lives that transcends every negative suggestion. Darkness does not have any property in the estate of the righteous. Light has laid before us the treasures of assurance and blessing. Promises are not just a little stored energy against cold weather. They are the dynamic energy of our lives. We live and breathe the air of promises kept. We are not given over to the hand of the destroyer, but we are sitting at the table of the delights of the designer of the resorts of heaven on earth. God has always wanted to make the earth a vestibule of heaven on earth. As we allow him to bestow his greatness and supply in our lives, heaven gets and extension of its property in the regions of the believer. We will not drag a burden around, but we will cast it upon the One who cares for us.

By Moses Hightower

(Continued)

Drink the wine of freedom and remain the bondservant of Christ. The honor of the king's table is the offer to journey down the path of the damned. Do not drink the blood of death when you can drink the blood of life. Do not be ashamed to be the bondservant of Christ. I will not submit you to anything or anyone that is not in my plan for your life. Many promise liberty but are not able to grant that liberty. Lust will promise you liberty, but its intent is slavery. Beware of the conspiring claws of the night, for they come in many forms.

375. Do you not hear the voices of the drunkards of the age?

376. Do you not hear the voices of the spirit of pressure?

My father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. It is by your name that I have been delivered and rescued from a villainous lord that I once served under. I prayed deliver me from evil and you did. I bless your name, for you are a friend that sticks closer than any brother. You will deliver me from every yoke and bondage of the enemy. I rejoice in you, for I have a mouthpiece that will triumph over mine enemies. You know the things that try to prey upon my heart and mind and you will not allow these things to snatch me out of your hand, I rejoice this day in my salvation. You are the same yesterday, today, and forever and although sin separated me from you, you never changed or left me. When I had tried to cover my sins you never lost sight of me. Your grace and goodness never disowned me, and for this I am grateful. I know that I am your delight and I run into your arms with worship and praise.

RE: PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING - October 27, 2007

His name embraces my failure and sees my need. God looked from the cross into the face that was like his very own. We as his image creatures had become impoverished and naked in our lives by the shame and disgrace of sin. As he bore our sin in all the shame that could heap on him, he was able to clothe us with righteousness. Our best rags could not cover any part of our battered flesh. Jesus took us in his arms and held us close and covered us with his love and nailed our debt as paid to his cross. He removed every enmity and enemy from the path that was between us. By being crucified on a tree, he removed the forest of trees that Adam’s flesh hid behind from his presence in Eden. Jesus Christ is our beloved friend that will never leave or forsake us. When we fail, he fills us with acceptance.
