Our God Is Commanding Clouds of Discouragement to Depart, Opening Doors of Encouragement, and Raining Down Angel’s Food for Spiritual Preservation (Part 1)

By Moses Hightower

I have cut off the ungodly and given the wealth of the sinner to you. I prepared you a way and sent you to a place of refuge. In this house of refuge, you have life. Do not ponder the mystery of this grace unto you, but simply believe. As I made a way for the lightning of the thunder, so has a decree been made for you. Grace has always been yours, even in your times of serious inquiry. You have inquired of me and asked, "How can these things be?"

Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?

Do you have understanding?

Who laid the measures thereof, if you know? Or who has stretched the line upon it?

Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? Or who laid the corner stone thereof when the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? Or who shut up the sea with doors when it brake forth as if it had issued out of the womb?

When I made the clouds the garments thereof, and thick darkness a swaddling-band for it, and brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors, and said, Hitherto shall you come, but no further: and here shall your proud waves be stayed.

Have the gates of death been opened unto you? Or have you seen the doors of the shadow of death?

Give your ear to me and my law. Incline your ears to the words of my mouth. I will open my mouth and speak plain. I will make clear the dark sayings of old and will not hide them from you. I am furnishing you a table in the wilderness of impossibility. In the place where many have tempted me and received the meat of lust and covetousness, I am causing the rock of impossibility to furnish you with fresh waters and fresh streams. I am giving you the bread of deliverance instead of the fire of my anger. I have commanded the clouds of discouragement and opened unto you the doors of encouragement. I have rained down Rhema for you to eat and given you the corn of spiritual preservation. You are eating angel's food. Be content with this food for angels. Allow its freshness and completeness to fill you instead of your own desires. I have not left you in the land of lust and pride. I have cleaned your mouth of the meat of spiritual death and given you a mouth filled with the fresh word of God. Remember that I am your rock and the high God, your redeemer. Speak a word in due season, for the word of life is in your mouth. I am full of compassion. I have forgiven your iniquities. I did not destroy you when you sinned, but I turned my anger away from you and did not stir up my wrath. I know that you are but flesh; therefore, I have granted you compassion, for I know that you are a wind that passes away and does not come again.

"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 Discouragement, Covetousness, Impossibility, and Lust (Part 1)

By Debbie McBee

The Lord has cut off the ungodly and given the wealth of the sinner to me. He has prepared a way for me and sent me to a place of refuge. In this house of refuge, I have life. I will not ponder the mystery of this grace unto me, but I will simply believe. As he made a way for the lightning of the thunder, so has a decree been made for me. Grace has always been mine, even in my times of serious inquiry. I have inquired of the Lord and asked, "How can these things be?"

I was not even a thought or a twinkle when he laid the foundation of the earth, and any understanding that I have is given to me by God. What I do know is that he alone laid the measures thereof, and he alone has stretched the line upon it. I have no comprehension as to where the foundations are fastened, yet I do know that my creator laid the cornerstone thereof when the morning stars sang together. At this happening, all of the sons of God shouted for joy. It was God who shut up the sea with doors when it brake forth as if it had issued out of the womb. When he made the clouds the garments thereof, and thick darkness a swaddling-band for it, and brake up for it his decreed place, and set bars and doors, and said, "Hitherto shall you come, but no further: and here shall your proud waves be stayed." By his grace, the gates of death have not been opened unto me, nor have I seen the doors of the shadow of death. I am determined to diligently give my ear to him and his law. I will incline my ears to the words of his mouth, for he opens his mouth and speaks plain. He will make clear the dark sayings of old and will not hide them from me. He is furnishing me a table in the wilderness of impossibility. In the place where many have tempted him and received the meat of lust and covetousness, he is causing the rock of impossibility to furnish me with fresh waters and fresh streams. He is giving me the bread of deliverance instead of the fire of his anger.

The Lord has commanded the clouds of discouragement and opened unto me the doors of encouragement. He has rained down Rhema for me to eat and given me the corn of spiritual preservation. I am eating angel's food; therefore, I will be content with this food for angels. I will allow its freshness and completeness to fill me instead of my own desires. He has not left me in the land of lust and pride. He has cleaned my mouth of the meat of spiritual death and given me a mouth filled with the fresh word of God. I will remember that he is my rock and the high God, my redeemer. I will speak a word in due season, for the word of life is in my mouth. He is full of compassion and has forgiven my iniquities. He did not destroy me when I sinned, but he turned his anger away from me and did not stir up his wrath. He knows that I am but flesh; therefore, he has granted me compassion, for he knows that I am a wind that passes away and does not come again.

RE: RHEMA - Our God Is Commanding Clouds of Discouragement to Depart, Opening Doors of Encouragement, and Raining Down Angel's Food for Spiritual Preservation (Part 1)

I was driving to the prison service yesterday and God spoke these words to me.

"I have declared deliverance from the devouring spirits that would cause you to look down rather than up. I will denounce all the duplicity and lies that the enemy would whisper in your ears. I will delight you with decrees of grace in your life. I have written the song for you to dance in rejoicing. My liberty will loose you to leap and laugh all at the same time." God rebukes despair, depression, and discouragement with the breath of his mouth. He melts the dread of fear and doubt like the fire melts ice. God's current word is the welcome to his table in the wilderness that has better food than angels.

By Moses Hightower

Speak a word in due season today, for the word of life is in your mouth. I am full of compassion. I have forgiven your iniquities. I did not destroy you when you sinned, but I turned my anger away from you and did not stir up my wrath. I know that you are but flesh; therefore, I have granted you compassion, for I know that you are as a wind that passes away and does not come again. You ended up in a wilderness and a solitary place. You came to the deserts of spiritual debris. I have made all these places to blossom abundantly and rejoice with joy and singing. I have given these places the glory of the Lord and my excellency. Now shall people see the glory of the Lord and the excellency of your God. You are mine. Now when you pass through the waters, I will be with you. When you pass through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned, and the flames will not kindle you. I shall make the enemy's power against you ineffective and quench his fire of wrath with the water of my word. I do a new thing for you. It is springing forth now. You shall know it. It is making a way in this wilderness. It is making rivers in your desert of helplessness. A way is made for you.

RE: RHEMA - The Omniscient Lord Unmasking the Plot of a Wicked Spiritual General

God has always delivered the enemy into the hands of defeat. Satan tries again and again to defeat the all knowing Savior. It is ludicrous for the devil to attack Jesus in the wilderness where the flesh had faded and the Spirit was rising stronger and stronger. Many have looked on the temptation of Jesus as the low point of the earthly period of the life of Jesus. I say it is the high point. It is a massive crescendo because it shows that if Jesus is supposedly at his weakest point and the devil miserably fails to gain one inch. This lets me know that with Jesus in my life that even at my weakest point, I am undefeatable.

God spoke to the inmates and said, "Do not be afraid of evil angels, principalities, powers, or any creature, for they will not be able to separate you from the words of power that I speak. My love pushed them out of the way as they waited like vultures at the cross for all the souls of history. The fires of my passionate love exposed them and drove them away as Abraham and Ritzpah did. All the plots against you will come to naught. Do not be afraid of an ambush. Every ambush that the enemy has planned for you is the undoing of his strategy in your life. I will turn his trap into your personal triumph!"

By Moses Hightower

(Continued)

Prosperity will destroy fools. Hearken unto me, and you shall dwell in safety. You shall be quiet from fear of evil. Be joyful in these days of prosperity and fear the Lord, your God, for he that fears God shall come forth victorious in all adversity. My shield is your help. I have given the sword of excellency on your behalf. All of your enemies shall be found liars. You shall tread upon their high places that they had reserved unto themselves. Out of the mouth of the false prophets shall come the word of blessings unto you, for no one can curse whom I have blessed. I have blessed you.

145. Now who is it that will cause me to take back my blessings?

By Debbie McBee

I am overjoyed because of your goodness to me Lord, and I gladly receive your deliverance from the devouring spirits that have come to rob me. Thank you for the grace that you have pronounced in my life; therefore, I will look up and not down. I will tune my ears to the songs of rejoicing that you have written for me, and I will spring forth in a dance of victory. I accept the precious liberty that you have given me, and now I am laughing and leaping at the same time. I shout your praises today, for you have rebuked despair, depression, and discouragement with the breath of your mouth. You, my King, have melted the dread of fear and doubt like the fire melts ice, and now I am elated as your word beckons and welcomes me to your table in the wilderness. As I savor this wonderful buffet that is better than angel’s food, I shout Hallelujah!

RE: PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING - July 14, 2007

Oh taste and see that the Lord is good is more than a taster’s plate. As we worship and praise God, it is a super-charged appetizer of what is to come. We enter into the feast with thanksgiving. As we continue to worship him, grace seats us beside the King of kings. We are so enamored and enveloped in him that there are no problems of the enemy that can contend or conquer any part of our lives at that time. We have to cease being wrapped up in Jesus for any enemy or distraction to wedge its way into our lives. We hunger and thirst after righteousness, so we will bless the Lord at all times and continually let our mouth be filled with the appetizer of praise. As we do this, the enemy will never be able to place spoiled or poison food in our spiritual digestive system.
