The Power of the Reigning King While Standing in Jeopardy and Subdued by the Hands of a Thief

By Moses Hightower

Do not allow the thief to steal your spiritual wealth. Awake out of sleep. You know the time. Your salvation is nearer than when you believed. The night is far spent and the day is at hand. I have not given you the spirit of slumber. Your eyes see and your ears hear; therefore, cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light. Do not involve yourself in strife and envying. Do not make any provision to defend yourself from accusations and subtle plots. Do not make any provision for the flesh to fulfill the lusts thereof, but put on the Lord Jesus Christ. There is no risk involved when you walk in the Spirit. Do not stand in jeopardy every day. I have not come to make you feel insecure or to declare that you are a liability to my name. Awake to righteousness and do not sin. Because some do not believe in my voice is no reason to abandon your relationship with me. This is the spirit of the thief attempting to break in and steal your spiritual wealth. Do not make your bed with those who bear the letter. They shall sleep the sleep of death. Their swords of death are swinging at you. Their henchmen climb into your life to burglarize your spiritual wealth. Do not be choked by doubt and fear. Awake and I will give you light. Walk circumspectly and do not be a fool, but walk as a wise man and redeem the time because the days are evil.

I have given you an understanding of what the will of the Lord is. Trust in my arms and my salvation. I have brought my righteousness unto you. My salvation shall be forever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished. Do not fear the reproach of men, neither be afraid of their reviling. The moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool. Do not rise to defend yourself, but be confident that I am your strength. I will cut asunder the schemers and will render permanent wounds to those who subtly attempt to drive you away and speak to destroy your name. Place your total confidence in me. I am the same God who dried up the sea. The sea before you shall be dried up by my breath, and a way shall be made for you to pass over. I have planned everlasting joy for your head. Gladness and joy are waiting in the distance. Sorrow and mourning shall retreat.

Do not fight those who oppress you. Do not worry about the results of their schemes. You are my child. You have repented unto me, and my word remains in your tongue. Do not be afraid of men that shall die. Do not be afraid of the sons of men that shall be made as grass. Look unto me, the Lord, your Maker. The subtle fury of the oppressor cannot destroy you. Look to the end of all these things. Where is the fury of the oppressor?

The oppressor did not rob you, and my words were not removed from your mouth. I covered you in the shadow of my hand and hid you among those planted by the Lord in righteousness. I have removed the cup of trembling and placed it in the hand of those who attempt to afflict you. Shake yourself and arise from the dust of the dead. Life flows in you; therefore, awaken and loose yourself from the bands on your neck. Their hands cannot remain on you to subdue you for their own selfish cause. Shake yourself with the voice of praise and thanksgiving. Arise and carry good tidings that publish peace unto the people. Publish salvation and carry good tidings of good. I have hidden you in my word and in the cleft of my hand. The salvation of the Lord has manifested itself for you. Break forth into joy. Your Lord reigns.

Accusations, Envy, Oppression, the Spirit of Slumber, Strife, Subtle Plots, and Thieves

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."

I will not allow the thief to steal my spiritual wealth. I awaken out of sleep. I know the time. My salvation is nearer than when I believed. The night is far spent and the day is at hand. The Lord has not given me the spirit of slumber. My eyes see and my ears hear; therefore, I cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light. I will not involve myself in strife and envying. I will not make any provision to defend myself from accusations and subtle plots. I do not make any provision for the flesh to fulfill the lusts thereof, but I put on the Lord Jesus Christ. There is no risk involved when I walk in the Spirit. I will not stand in jeopardy every day. He has not come to make me feel insecure or to declare that I am a liability to his name. I awaken to righteousness, and I will not sin. Because some do not believe in God’s voice is no reason to abandon my relationship with him. This is the spirit of the thief attempting to break in and steal my spiritual wealth. I will not make my bed with those who bear the letter. They shall sleep the sleep of death. Their swords of death are swinging at me and their henchmen climb into my life to burglarize my spiritual wealth. I will not be choked by doubt and fear. I awaken, and the Lord will give me light. I will walk circumspectly and not as a fool, but I will walk as a wise man who redeems the time because the days are evil.

The Lord has given me an understanding of what his will is. I trust in his arms and his salvation. He has brought his righteousness unto me. His salvation shall be forever, and his righteousness shall not be abolished. I will not fear the reproach of men, neither will I be afraid of their reviling. The moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool. I will not rise to defend myself, but I am confident that God is my strength. He will cut asunder the schemers and will render permanent wounds to those who subtly attempt to drive me away and speak to destroy my name. I place my total confidence in God.

I am not afraid of men that shall die. I am not afraid of the sons of men that shall be made as grass. I look unto him, the Lord, my Maker. The subtle fury of the oppressor cannot destroy me. I look to the end of all these things. The fury of the oppressor has been blown away. The oppressor did not rob me, and the words of God were not removed from my mouth. He covered me in the shadow of his hand and hid me among those planted by the Lord in righteousness. He has removed the cup of trembling and placed it in the hand of those who attempt to afflict me. I shake myself and arise from the dust of the dead. Life flows in me; therefore, I awaken and loose myself from the bands on my neck. Their hands cannot remain on me to subdue me for their own selfish cause. I shake myself with the voice of praise and thanksgiving. I arise and carry good tidings that publish peace unto the people. I publish salvation and carry good tidings of good. God has hidden me in his word and in the cleft of his hand. The salvation of the Lord has manifested itself for me. I break forth into joy. My Lord reigns.

RE: RHEMA - The Power of the Reigning King While Standing in Jeopardy and Subdued by the Hands of a Thief

The thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy. Satan would like for us to flee from his insults and innuendo as he scoops up our joy and confidence in God's promises. Intense pressure of false charges would like to slay our excitement. Many assassins of hell would like to destroy the relationship our love and faith is built upon. We are built on the rock that the gates of hell will not prevail against. We have been given power to silence and arrest the one who is an intruder and trespasser in our lives. He cannot spoil the treasures of grace and spiritual blessing that God has deposited in our lives. Our treasures and deposits of faith are not open to the attack of the treachery and scandals of men. The waster will not dry up our blessing. No plan has ever been devised that can embezzle the riches of God's kingdom within us. The treasures of prophecy and promises that we have received cannot be tarnished by the spirits of unbelieving souls who are spiritually impoverished. Words of power that have been spoken to us and through us cannot be erased by any bankruptcy or failure of man. God's kingdom and authority is unimpeachable. He is Prophet, King, and Priest of the ages. His reign will never be negated by any event or false evidence that any will ever present. We will stand by him as his trusted servants while others will be removed as unprofitable servants.

By Moses Hightower

Many have risen up to play and called it the joy of salvation. True joy will come when you rejoice with the angels who are excited about the repenting sinners. No sea is too stormy when you are seeking the lost. I have come to give you directions. You have used traditions of man to detect what I am doing in the earth, but I am not found by the radar systems of traditions. Seek me with a whole heart, and you will be given the vision of soul-winning for this hour of salvation. Man’s mind cannot detect the way of my spirit. Come unto the throne of grace, and look through the eyes of faith and then will you behold the clear light of direction, which is given by the mind of Christ. I am not hiding my will and the right direction from you. It is clearly revealed unto those who are called according to my purpose and those who love me. Those who love me shall cleave to me. When you have left your own reasoning and your own understanding and rooted yourself in love, then will you cease worrying about controlling your destiny. Give me the controls of your life. How can you relinquish the controls without giving me all your heart, all your soul, all of your mind, and all your strength?

RE: RHEMA - There Are Rivers of Living Water in the Dry Areas of the Valley

Dry places are the devil's playground and recreation center. Floods of the Holy Ghost will wash him away like a flash flood down a mountain canyon. All of the lukewarm and listless spirits today are open to this dry atmosphere. God promised through the prophets that he would come to us as the Rain. Deluges of the Spirit are the purpose of the Lord in this hour. We have not been invited to the sprinkle of Carmel, but to the floods of Carmel. In the last days, we have been promised the former and the latter rain together. This promise could never add up to less, but much more. Deception would try to persuade us to be less fervent in Spirit. We will refuse to be held down by any negative influences. As the vapor of praise goes up, the proportion of the rain is increased in the valleys of life. We are not looking for dust, but deity.

My goodness has spoiled you, for you have left much of its fruit in the vineyard of your life and not touched it with the hands of praise and the lips of thanksgiving. Journey through your heart with me, and I will show you how wretched you are. Much of my goodness is not perceived because your heart is filled with so much of self and things. If you would behold the majesty of the one who lives inside, your temple would be filled with my glory. My glory does not shine on the faces of the people because they neglect to give abundant praise and thanksgiving to their King who abides forever. I touched your eyes that you may behold me living inside of you. Cry out for this awareness and you shall envision the reality of my Spirit within you.

382. What royal guest comes to your house and is not honored to the highest degree?

383. Am I a guest or the Lord of the house?

384. Where is my honor and my praise?

Lord, you are the source of all things, and no one can take anything from you. The thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy. Satan would like for me to flee from his insults and innuendos, but he cannot scoop up my joy and confidence in your promises. You are my refuge, and I give you thanks. His false charges cannot slay my excitement because my enthusiasm comes from you. No one can overcome you; therefore I rejoice and show forth this excitement in an extravagant manner. Many assassins of hell would like to destroy the relationship that you have built my love and faith upon. I shout for joy because it will not happen. I am built on you, my rock, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it. I worship you for your supremacy and because you have given me power to silence and arrest the one who is an intruder and trespasser in my life. I cherish the treasures of grace and spiritual blessings that you have deposited in my life.

Lord, you reign over the kingdoms of heaven and earth; therefore, my treasures and deposits of faith are not open to the attack of the treachery and scandals of men. I rejoice for you alone are the source of the waters of life and blessings; therefore, the waster will not dry up my blessing. I am delighted that no plan has ever been devised that can embezzle the riches of your kingdom within me. The treasures of prophecy and promises that I have received cannot be tarnished by anyone or anything. Your word is forever settled in heaven. Thank you for speaking your words of power, which have been spoken to me and through me. They cannot be erased by any bankruptcy or failure of man. Your kingdom and authority is unimpeachable. You are Prophet, King, and Priest of the ages and I magnify your name. Your reign will never be negated by any event or false evidence that any can ever present. I stand by you, my God as the enemy’s trusted servants are removed as unprofitable servants. I praise you and shout for joy for you have exercised your power on my behalf!

RE: PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING - March 22, 2007

Just as sure as the promise that no one can pluck us out of the hand of the Lord, we can be assured that none of God's promises will be subjected to plunder or vandalism by the devil. We have received exceeding great and precious promises, and by these we are made partakers of the divine nature. Hell does not have any way to dismantle the power structure that the Holy Ghost brings to our lives. Heaven installs in us an alarm system that is beyond state of the art. We have the witness of the Spirit when everything is not right. We then know to be sober and vigilant. Satan may put on the garments of the night and try to steal our joy, but the lights of revelation will expose him before he can get past the protection of heaven's perimeter. God's word and his precious prophecies will expose the false charges of the enemy for the frauds that they are. God's testimony on our behalf will stand and none can reverse it!
