The Fire of God's Love and the Wind of Beauty Creating Suitable Ashes of Exchange and a Monument of Faithfulness By Moses Hightower
A place is prepared for you. Nothing has ever entered into your mind that resembles what I have prepared. This world and the things here can never compare to the heavenly things laid up for those who love me. Your love for me is tested every day by the agents from the prince of the power of the air. The god of the world has stepped up his war against the true church. His wiles are sharp and subtle. The artillery of the enemy is aimed at your mind. Beware of what you hear so that your mind is not corrupted by the words of the enemy. Return to the simplicity that is in Christ Jesus. The simplicity that is in Christ Jesus is the door of the deep things of God. I have chosen the weak things to confound the wise. Do not be high-minded, neither be unthankful, but abound with thanksgiving as you walk by faith. The walk of faith is not a fear of being lost. You must love me more than you fear being lost. You must love me more than you hate evil. The love of God is shed abroad in your heart. Allow it to be your motivation for all that you do. Only the love of God can bring you to the spiritual understanding required for this holy relationship. The love of God was in Christ Jesus. I have placed the same love in the spiritual body of Christ. The body of Christ is the church. The church is called by my name. I am the head of the body. My name is Jesus. Is my body called by a name different from the head? What is the name of my body if I am the head? Beware of spirits proclaiming another Jesus. I am the same, yesterday, today, and forever. Give thanks for the name that is above every name. I am God. Have I given another a name above my own? Lift up your voice in the earth and proclaim the goodness of God and the revelation of Jesus Christ. My goodness has embraced you in a fleshly tabernacle. It has ushered you out of the slumber of human feelings. It has energized you with strength beyond your abilities. It has followed you to the throne of grace and became an altar for bent knees and a broken heart. I have not despised your brokenness. Your thanksgiving has been received as a sweet savor of incense. Your praises are inhabited by my presence and received as a place to enthrone myself. The fire of my love has turned your offering into suitable ashes of exchange, and the wind of beauty has blown your ashes away. The wind of beauty has manifested itself as a monument of my faithfulness, and my name has taken on a special meaning at this altar of praise and prayer. My name shall be synonymous with love, mercy, and grace unto you. When you think of my name, you shall think of a great light. The many colors of this light shall be unto you as the many things that I am. You do not need to look beyond this one name, for all that I am is represented by and equated to my name. My name is holy. My name is good. I am from everlasting to everlasting, and so is my name. As my name is, so am I. Sing unto me and also sing praises unto my name. Bless me, the Lord, and also bless my name. Give unto me the glory due my name. Call upon me and also call upon my name. Enter into my gates with thanksgiving and into my courts with praise. Be thankful unto me and bless my name. I am good and my mercy is everlasting. My truth endures to all generations. It has come unto you and made you free. Give thanks unto me. I am the Lord. Call upon my name and make known my deeds among the people. Sing unto me. Sing spiritual songs unto me and talk of all my wondrous works. Glory in my holy name and let your heart rejoice in me. Give glory unto me and seek my face continually. Seek my strength and remember my marvelous works that I have done. I have remembered my covenant forever. I made a covenant with Abraham. I have remembered you, for you are the seed of Christ, and therefore, the seed of Abraham. Though you are small and few in number, I will stay the hand of your enemies and reprove the mighty if they attempt to do you wrong. Lift up your head and be encouraged in me. I am with you to reprove those who touch you and do you harm. Lift up your head. My name is on you, and you are called by it. Bless my holy name.
"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 Deceiving Spirits, Enemies, and Human Feelings By Linda Galati

RE: RHEMA - The Fire of God's Love and the Wind of Beauty Creating Suitable Ashes of Exchange and a Monument of Faithfulness
If God can turn carbon into diamonds and dust into deity's house, then he can turn our ashes of trials into awesome testimonies of deliverance. Many people are not willing to fight a war to have a celebration of victory. We know that our Lord is the Lord God mighty in battle. If he turns ashes into beauty, then he will turn our heaviness of broken spirit into an oil well of rejoicing and praise. Then as guests were to be greeted with anointing oil, we too can anoint other weary travelers of life with the oil of gladness in the midst of their struggles. It is this anointing that can break the yoke of bondage to grief and disappointment. Our brokenness is the Lord's way of creating in us a greater capacity to receive his greater blessings in our lives. It remains to be seen what God has prepared for those who wait for him. God's love will not leave us in drought. His love is still a rushing mighty wind that will empower us from heaven not only in salvation but in suffering. Praise is comely in the mouth of his saints. Praise makes us so beautiful to God that we become irresistible!
By Moses Hightower
This is the day that I have made. Rejoice and be glad in it. Rejoice before the tempter tempts you. Be glad before the tempter tempts you. From a thankful heart express the fruit of joy and gladness, and you will see the difference in the outcome of your day that I made for you. Many will spend their day warring with adversaries that they did not have to war against because they went down paths of lamenting. Do not greet me with tears of complaints, but greet me with gladness. I have said, "Serve me with gladness, and come before my presence with singing." First, present me with a bouquet of praises instead of a flood of tears that water the thorns that have created the pains in your life. Replace the weeping willows of the mourner with a high, new song of life and victorious expectation. Resist the temptation to bring to me a deep death song of the blues and of mourning. Many are controlled by grief, sorrow, and regret; therefore, they come to me as weak lamenting worshippers of their problems and their emotions. Do not wear the willows given you by unbelief, but rather adorn yourself with the garment of praise. Do not wear sackcloth and ashes, but wear the breastplate of faith and love. Where is your helmet? Your helmet is the hope of salvation. Did you come to my throne with the hope of salvation or with your head bowed to your troubles?

RE: RHEMA - Miracles of Hope and Faith Out of Barren Resources
Just as the letter without the Spirit is dead so are the promises of God barren without the spirit of expectancy. Mary was a virgin and Elizabeth was barren. God seems to take enigma's and curses and turns them into blessings. Miracles are quick to spring forth in the presence of the declarations of the supernatural. Sometimes we are swept up in the electric dimensions of the understanding of light and revelation when God is at the same moment activating divine actions that defy anything we consider to be normal. God does not speak promises of life into our lives for them to just be pleasant imaginations. Proclamations of power become the substance conception and creation. In the process of time, they will be born or manifest in our lives. If God brings forth fruit over night from a dead almond branch, then any barren circumstance is the birthing suite of the supernatural. Unbelief and our inventory of our own resources create a sterile womb that faith cannot work in. The word of faith will bring about the promises that we have received, and no hand of abortion can stop them. God will take and provide promises and miracles through people that we do not even know. In the very presence of ultimate opposition in the prison, we have just seen miracle after miracle happen. He who created the heavens and dwells between the cherubims of our worship and praise has established a mercy seat in our lives. We will, with those in battle with Jehoshaphat, say continually that "The Lord is good and his mercy endures forever." When everything seems to be failing and dead around us, worship will bring about a resurrection and birth of miracles.

O Lord, you can turn carbon into diamonds and dust into deity's house; therefore, I know you can turn my ashes of trials into awesome testimonies of deliverance. It is awesome to know that you are the Lord God mighty in battle. You turn ashes into beauty, and I am thankful that you will turn my heaviness of broken spirit into an oil well of rejoicing and praise. As a guest is to be greeted with anointing oil, I too by your grace can anoint other weary travelers of life with the oil of gladness in the midst of their struggles. It is this anointing that can break the yoke of bondage to grief and disappointment. It is a relief to know that my brokenness is your way of creating in me a greater capacity to receive your greater blessings in my life. Your love will not leave me in a drought. Your love is still a rushing mighty wind that will empower me from heaven not only in salvation but in suffering. I praise you today for this is comely in the mouth of your saints. I am so grateful that praise makes me so beautiful to you that I become irresistible! Therefore, I will continually glorify your holy name.
RE: PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING - June 13, 2007
Dust to deity and carbon to diamonds is not a pipe dream. Trials are declared to be more precious than gold. Trials are the only place that we can mine the gold of faith that is tried in the fire. We are purified by the trial as pure gold. God is not being unkind to us, but he is removing the things in our life that can poison us or paralyze us at another time in our spiritual life. He is taking away the things that we do not need so he can give us what he desires us to have. If we are rich toward God, we have the only true riches that exist in the spiritual dimension. Trials are not to taunt us. Trials teach us that tremendous treasures are hidden in the rocks that get broken up by the hammer of God's word.
