Revelation and Light Are the Illuminating Windows of Heaven on the Pathway of Our Relationship with God

If you thirst for knowledge, go to nature and allow nature to teach you. Nature is a portrait of my creativity. The wind as you see it in nature is the flow of my paintbrush across the canvas of reality. What do you think of the wind?

The creatures in nature are your models for learning. If you would observe them more, you would discover how to flow naturally in the Spirit. The predators in nature use the advantage gained in surprise. You are not ignorant of the devil’s devices; therefore, do not allow him to surprise you with his vicious attacks of surprise. There are no surprises in the light. Only on the edge of the darkness and in the darkness are the elements of surprise fostered.

I have delivered you from death, and I will keep your feet from falling so that you may walk before me in the light of the living. You are blessed because you know the joyful sound that is among those who walk in the light of my countenance. My righteousness is exalted in you because you rejoice in my name. There is favor in the light of my countenance. The grace that you have in this light is amazing. Allow the wonder of my grace to bring the joyful sounds of astounding melodies of love to your ears. You have shut out these beautiful melodies of love by being tuned to the melodies of carnality. Come again to my feet and worship in spirit and in truth, and I will allow your ears to hear the poetic voice of love speak in your ears. Once they were tuned, but then they were dulled by the lullabies of prayerlessness. I am calling you back to the freshness of love’s preparation. You have lived on stale bread. Now be revived and eat of the fresh bread of the Spirit. My word is not a token of appreciation. My word is an expression from the Mighty God. Do not treat my word as something common. It is precious. Regard it as such, or you will eat of the worms of your own deceit. I only give my Rhema word to those that I have given ears to hear. Why do you think that I instructed you not to cast your pearls before swine?

I am not double-minded. I do not give Rhema to swine, but my sheep hear my voice. The voice that the swine hear is another voice. Many have listened to the voice of the swine and have not heard what you hear, neither can they hear it.

Humble yourself under my mighty hand and allow me to destroy pride in your life. I have chosen you to have a humble spirit and to dwell with the lowly. It is better to dwell here than to divide the spoil with the proud. Rise up and walk in the light of your King. Walk now while the light is with you. If you do not walk now, darkness will come upon you. Those that walk in darkness do not know where they are going. You believe in the light because you are a child of the light. Fight the good fight of faith and lay hold on eternal life. Continually profess a good profession constantly, and you will overcome by my blood and the word of your testimony. Your life as an overcomer does not include fellowship with the darkness. If you walk in darkness, you lie and you are not doing the truth. If you walk in the light, you have fellowship one with another, and my blood cleanses you from all sin. Do not deceive yourself and say that you do not have any sin, for all have sinned and come short of my glory. The truth is in you; therefore, acknowledge your sins, and I will cleanse you of all unrighteousness. Now love everyone, and the darkness will not blind your eyes. I have spoken unto you because your sins are forgiven for my name’s sake.

"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 Attacks, Carnality, Darkness, Deceit, Prayerlessness, Pride, and Predators

By Aaron Stickel

If I thirst for knowledge, I should go to nature and allow nature to teach me. Nature is a portrait of God’s creativity. The wind as I see it in nature is the flow of his paintbrush across the canvas of reality. The wind is an awesome display of God’s power. The creatures in nature are his models for learning. If I would observe them more, I would discover how to flow naturally in the Spirit. The predators in nature use the advantage gained in surprise. I am not ignorant of the devil’s devices; therefore, I will not allow him to surprise me with his vicious attacks of surprise. There are no surprises in the light. Only on the edge of the darkness and in the darkness are the elements of surprise fostered.

Jesus has delivered me from death, and he will keep my feet from falling so that I may walk before him in the light of the living. I am blessed because I know the joyful sound that is among those who walk in the light of the Lord’s countenance. His righteousness is exalted in me because I rejoice in his name. There is favor in the light of his countenance. The grace that I have in this light is amazing. I will allow the wonder of God’s grace to bring the joyful sounds of astounding melodies of love to my ears. I have shut out these beautiful melodies of love by being tuned to the melodies of carnality. I come again to the Lord’s feet and worship in spirit and in truth, and he will allow my ears to hear the poetic voice of love speak in my ears. Once they were tuned, but then they were dulled by the lullabies of prayerlessness. Jesus is calling me back to the freshness of love’s preparation. I have lived on stale bread. Now I will be revived and eat of the fresh bread of the Spirit. God’s word is not a token of appreciation. His word is an expression from the Mighty God. I must not treat his word as something common, for it is precious. I will regard it as such, and I will not eat of the worms of my own deceit. The Lord only gives his Rhema word to those that he has given ears to hear. This is why he instructed me not to cast my pearls of Rhema before swine. Jesus is not double-minded. He does not give Rhema to swine, but his sheep hear his voice. The voice that the swine hear is another voice. Many have listened to the voice of the swine and have not heard what I hear, neither can they hear it.

I humble myself under God’s mighty hand and allow him to destroy pride in my life. He has chosen me to have a humble spirit and to dwell with the lowly. It is better to dwell here than to divide the spoil with the proud. I rise up and walk in the light of my King. I will walk now while the light is with me. If I do not walk now, darkness will come upon me. Those that walk in darkness do not know where they are going. I believe in the light because I am a child of the light. I will fight the good fight of faith and lay hold on eternal life. I purpose to continually profess a good profession constantly, and I will overcome by the Lord’s blood and the word of my testimony. My life as an overcomer does not include fellowship with the darkness. If I walk in darkness, I lie and I am not doing the truth. If I walk in the light, I have fellowship with my brothers and sisters, and the blood of Jesus cleanses me from all sin. I will not deceive myself and say that I do not have any sin, for all have sinned and come short of God’s glory. The truth is in me; therefore, I acknowledge my sins, and he will cleanse me of all unrighteousness. I purpose to love everyone; therefore, the darkness will not blind my eyes. Jesus has spoken unto me because my sins are forgiven for the Lord’s name’s sake.

RE: RHEMA - Revelation and Light Are the Illuminating Windows of Heaven on the Pathway of Our Relationship with God

Romans 1:2 declares that the invisible or spiritual things of God are clearly seen in the panorama of nature. Creatures of the day are different from those of the night. It is the predators that come out in the night. Those creatures of the day have hidden themselves in safe havens before the night comes. We know that the name of the Lord is a tower of defense for the righteous. We know that the Lord will be walls of salvation and gates of praise around about us. We abide in the strong city that closes its gates at night. Our watchman on the wall is the Lord himself. He will never sleep nor slumber. His warning and instructions come forth with regularity and with certainty. His message is not trivial or petty. His words are weighty and worthy of our very best attention. If we venture outside the realm of his protection, which is like one of the refuge cities, we can be slain as Abner by the knife of lust and deceit. Revelation and light are the illuminating windows of heaven on the pathway of our relationship with the Lord. Only those who esteem the Rhema word as a treasure and rare jewels will receive its abundant blessings. If it is esteemed as common or trivial, then it will be as the pearls under the feet of swine who only want to fill their desires or flesh. As we walk before the Lord in the light of revelation, he will help us to see our shortcomings and wrong decisions. We then can repent and be cleansed from all the little things that would spoil our relationship.

By Moses Hightower

Many of my people are held captive before the accuser of the brethren. Many are ignorantly held in courts of the enemy where spirits interrogate them. Many spend their entire spiritual life before these subtle spirits of condemnation and fear. Go and declare to them that I have already been interrogated for them. I was oppressed and afflicted for you. When I was accused, I did not open my mouth. I was brought as a lamb to the slaughter and as a sheep before her shearers, was dumb and did not open my mouth. I kept silent when I was accused. Now you may be vocal and confess your freedom from condemnation and interrogation. Refuse to be interrogated by these spirits, for you are not under house arrest. You are free because I was taken for your transgressions and stricken. You are a generation of righteous seed. Now declare my generation. The people are being scattered by condemnation. Gather the people around my throne with words of justification and grace. Deceitful spirits, who are driving them into the darkness of unbelief, are humiliating them daily. They must come from the shadows of condemnation and fear and accept the light of justification. Walk in the light of justification.

RE: RHEMA – Kingdom News and the Bread of the Morning Instead of Headlines by Thieves and Murderers of Time

God hates an evil report. We should hate an evil report. A good report makes the bones fat. A negative report will dry up our bones. A good report is like marrow and fatness to the structure of the body. An evil report is a faithless report such as that brought back by the 10 spies that went to the promised land. We need to hear how it can be done and not why it cannot be done. We need to be spiritual Nehemiahs. We must refuse the devil or his messengers to have any part of our ear. If we are to redeem the time as if it were precious, then the trash of the enemy needs to go to the dump and not into our minds and spirits. God has brought us to the banquet table of faith and fabulous wealth. Our diet should never include the junk food of those who are just speaking to hear themselves. Eternal words need to be spoken and heard. Trivial words of plastic and synthetic schemes are the wreckage on the road to hell. We have started upward to heaven. Every utterance that does not minister grace and point us upward will become a greased slide into defeat. We have been selected to be overcomers. We should not be at the training table of any other idea. Love will embrace us and speak the inspiration of joy deep into our spirit.

By Moses Hightower

(Continued)

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.

167. Have the gates of death been opened unto you, or have you seen the doors of the shadow of death?

Look again to the blood dripping from my brow, and behold the sounds of peace that come from the voice of my blood. My peace I have given you. My peace, which has picked you up in the arms of love, kisses you with the lips of quietness. You are carried to the new dimensions in heavenly places by the same arms of love. I will not forget your labor of love for my name. When others did not access the faith and the grace to go forth and preach my gospel, you found grace in my sight.

168. Why do you doubt the same grace to fulfill what I have started in you?

By Thelma Hightower

Lord, I offer praise unto you because you are good. I am so thankful that the scripture declares that the invisible or spiritual things are clearly seen in the panorama of nature. In your wisdom, you created creatures of the day different from the creatures of the night. I know that the creatures of the day hide themselves in safe havens before the night because they know that the predators come out in the night. I am not afraid of the spiritual predators because your name is my tower of defense. I am thankful that you will be my wall of salvation and my gates of praise. I am grateful to abide in a strong city that closes its gates at night. Lord, I have confidence in your ability to keep me because you are my watchman on the wall.

You will never sleep nor slumber. I give honor unto you because your warnings and instructions come forth with regularity and certainty, and your message is not trivial or petty. Your words are weighty and worthy of my very best attention. Lord, keep me so that I will not venture outside your realm of protection by lust and deceit. Allow your grace to flow in me so that I may continually esteem your Rhema word as a treasure and rare jewel so that I will receive its abundant blessings. As I walk in the light of revelation, help me to see my shortcomings and wrong decisions. Allow your tender mercies to cause me to repent and be cleansed from all the little things that would spoil my relationship with you. I praise you because of your great love toward me. I purpose to be eternally grateful.

RE: PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING - July 23, 2007

We are children of the resurrection and of the light. God's light is the life of men. We are walking in the power of created light that is just as powerful as the first day of creation. The same God that commanded the light to shine out of darkness has given us the light of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. Darkness is no match for the power of the light that is in those who are continually charged with the light from heaven's power grid. We do not sleep as others do, but we watch and are sober. We have put on the breastplate of faith and love and the helmet of salvation. We have put on the whole armor of God, and we have determined by the word and Spirit of God who our enemy is and what his devices are. We will not be destroyed for lack of knowledge, but we will demolish Satan's kingdom!
