(RHEMA: The Gravity of the War Among Brethren Is Escaped by the Launching of Love)
Moses Hightower
God Performs With Complete Fidelity and a Performance of Obligations That Coincides With His Duty As Our Lord and Savior
I came as the man Christ Jesus. I came as a mediator, for there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man, Christ Jesus. Men needed a righteous man with man's nature to appear in the presence of God for them. I came in flesh so that I might comprehend the claims of men and be touched with the feelings of men. I proved myself sinless and offered myself as a sacrifice on behalf of men. I was the guarantee that secured what men could in no wise obtain. I was the Surety of a better covenant. I guaranteed the terms of the New Covenant for men. I arbitrated between men and God, and God removed his rod from man so that his terror would not frighten man any more. Life was given when I represented man before God. The law could not impart life. If righteousness could have been possible by the law, it certainly would have come by it. The Scripture declared that the whole world was the captive of sin so that what was promised might be given to those who believe. Before faith came, man was held captive by the law, until faith should be revealed; therefore, the law led man to Christ so that man might be justified by faith in what I did as man's mediator. As many as are baptized into Christ, have put on Christ and are no longer slaves to sin and the law. You now belong to me and therefore, you are Abraham's seed and heirs according to the promise. I died as a ransom to set men free from their sins. Look to my mediatorship and see that you owe nothing for your sins. My blood has paid the ransom price for your sins, and a New Covenant is now in effect. Without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sins. Before I intervened for you, man was separated from God, who was offended. Now man is reconciled to God by my atonement. You are no longer a captive. You are free, and you wear the family name, Jesus. You cannot be prosecuted for your sins. I paid your debts; therefore, you are not accountable for them any longer. Adam could not answer for man, so all men received death in Adam, but I answered for man, so all men received life in me. I took the punishment that you deserved. You are no longer a fugitive. You no longer need to flee because of your sins. I took away the danger; therefore, you do not have to fear being caught or detained because of your past. I have freed you. Now allow me to live my life out in you as a free man. You are no longer vulnerable to death. I took the death penalty and gave you everlasting life instead. Rejoice today in your salvation. Everlasting life is more binding than death. Death had its grip on you, but because I satisfied death's hunger, you are now in the grip of life. I have adopted you. You have been taken into favor and protection. I will continually defend you, for I am your father. You are not merely affiliated with me. I foreknew you and predestinated you to be conformed to the image of my Son. (Romans 8) You are predestinated unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ. (Ephesians 1) You have been appointed unto eternal life and the blessing of Christ. You are a citizen of heaven. Now cease living as a citizen of this earth. The promises made to you are from heaven by God, who is faithful. Expect complete fidelity and a performance of obligations that coincides with my duty as your Lord and Savior. Can I lie? Am I honest? I am the truth; therefore, know that I am blessing you according to the promises made to Abraham and Christ.

RE: RHEMA - God Performs With Complete Fidelity and a Performance of Obligations That Coincides With His Duty As Our Lord and Savior We did not choose to be born and have to live in the same neighborhood where the devil is running loose. God knows that and is a responsible Father. He will provide more than enough power for us to defeat the enemy on his home turf. God's capacity to give to us far exceeds our inability to receive. Even though Moses smote the rock instead of speaking to it, the water came out for their thirst. God gave them quail in their lust. He will be the answer to every quandary as we come to him in faith. When Jesus told Peter that the children were free, he meant that we were exempt from the obligations to be ruled by the mindsets of this world. We are not subject to the prognostications and the forecasts of doom and gloom here. We have been given the directions of eternal joy and peace for our daily bread. Laws of death are not our prison, and the demands of sin are not our captors. Liberty has proclaimed our pardon. We have been whisked back to the pristine state of blessing in the beginning before sin. We do not have to look over our shoulder because he has carried every guilt and demand on his shoulders to the cross. Many purchased a Roman citizenship. Our Father has purchased with his blood our citizenship and birthright. We are citizens of a common wealth that has nothing in common with this world. We are free and fruitful in the planting of the garden of his lavish love. God will never lie to us about his promise. He will never tease us with any leading statements.

Many are motivated by pride. They contend to be the greatest. Go and
serve others then will you please me and find great rewards. Look into
the distance along the by-pass from love. Behold the war among brethren.
Behold how senseless the deaths of great men are. Behold how many are
slain by their own swords as they slay their brothers. Behold the enemy
importing pride. Behold the enemy importing the lust for power. Behold
the subtle weapons of greed being imported and smuggled in hearts of
covetousness. All these things are being done in my name. Come and follow
me, and I will lead you away from this by-pass.
