God Has Placed Us on the Platform of Life with a Living Background; Therefore, Supply the Light of Praise

I am an awesome God. My ways are past finding out. Today is made for you to rejoice in; therefore, greet the day with praises on your lips and not complaints. A person who complains while having the Mighty God living on the inside of them is of a dishonest mind. What is more valuable than having the King of the universe on the inside of you?

Then, why complain about what life deals you when I have given you myself?

Are you deserving of me?

Then, why don’t you give thanks for all things that happen to you since I have accepted you, an undeserving person?

The spirit of ingratitude has swallowed up many. Be grateful for everything, the good and the bad, for I allowed the things that have come your way to enter into your life. I meant them for good; therefore, praise me for that goodness.

I am a splendid God. I am superb and marvelous. My works are more impressive and wonderful than all the works in the earth. Nature teaches you how awesome I am. My style is grand, tremendous, and amazing. Look upon the rising of the sun and see how unique I have planned your day. With a living background, I have placed you on the platform of life for my own purpose. Anything less than awesome praise is an insult to me, the astounding God. Anything less than magnificent worship is an offense to me, your Savior. For the night, I have hung lights over your head for lighting and decoration. My scenery is more splendid than all of the artificial lighting and decorations that man presents. Worship me in spirit and in truth. Know that I am God. It is I that hath made you, and not you yourself. Enter into my gates with thanksgiving and into my courts with praise. Be thankful unto me and bless my holy name. Because you know me, glorify me as God and be thankful. Now you will not be vain in your imaginations, and your heart will not be darkened. Arise, and make a good profession of my greatness.

"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 Complaining, Ingratitude, and Unbelief

By Milton Rodriguez

Jesus is an awesome God. His ways are past finding out. Today is made for me to rejoice in; therefore, I greet the day with praises on my lips and not complaints. A person who complains while having the Mighty God living on the inside of them is of a dishonest mind. There is nothing more valuable than having the King of the universe on the inside of me; therefore, I will not complain about what life deals me when he has given me himself. I am not deserving of God; therefore, I will give thanks for all things that happen to me since the Lord has accepted me, an undeserving person. The spirit of ingratitude has swallowed up many. I will be grateful for everything, the good and the bad, for God allowed the things that have come my way to enter into my life. He meant them for good; therefore, I praise him for that goodness.

The Lord is a splendid God. He is superb and marvelous. His works are more impressive and wonderful than all the works in the earth. Nature teaches me how awesome he is. His style is grand, tremendous, and amazing. I look upon the rising of the sun and see how unique he has planned my day. With a living background, he has placed me on the platform of life for his own purpose. Anything less than awesome praise is an insult to him, the astounding God. Anything less than magnificent worship is an offense to him, my Savior. For the night, he has hung lights over my head for lighting and decoration. His scenery is more splendid than all of the artificial lighting and decorations that man presents. I worship him in spirit and in truth. I know that Jesus is God. It is he that hath made me, and not me myself. I enter into his gates with thanksgiving and into his courts with praise. I am thankful unto him, and bless his holy name. Because I know him, I glorify him as God and I will be thankful. Now I will not be vain in my imaginations, and my heart will not be darkened. I arise, and make a good profession of God’s greatness.

RE: RHEMA – God Has Placed Us on the Platform of Life with a Living Background; Therefore, Supply the Light of Praise

As we gaze from here into the universe, the light and energy of a billion points of definition converge on us at once. The sum total of all creation's symphony begins to fill the concert hall of our lives with not just one note of the greatness of God with the entire orchestra's score. One universe could not contain the volumes of speech that would one day call my name. He gathers all existence into his measureless hand and still is interested in the small details enough to feel our pain. Infinite and ineffable is his greatness. If we were to divide the sum total of his greatness by every known number and subtract by a multiplied sum of them all, there would still not be enough numbers to add up all he is in one dimension. Our love and praise leaps dimensions when we get in the Spirit. When John got in the Spirit on the island of Patmos, he transcended the lines of time and space and saw all of heaven in awe of the Lion/Lamb in glorious, triumphant exalted states. Everything in the earth, on the earth, and above the earth was profusely praising the only Potentate. When we exalt the name of Jesus, we don't just get a segment of God but every multiple facet of the eternal and almighty One. Life will try to take its floods and storms to cloud our lives with discouragement. When we stop and realize the greatness of the One who is on the inside, it is completely irrelevant what is happening on the outside. Very soon the events on the inside of our lives will always greatly outdo the events on the outside of us. As we realize the true size of our insignificant magnitude and the transformation he has made in us, to include us in the greatest event of all time, and then our hearts will overflow with unceasing gratitude. In everything, we will give thanks for what is happening in our lives, for it is the fine thread of the tapestry of beauty that God is weaving for our lives.

By Moses Hightower

I have brought unto you the great, glorious gospel of Christ. It is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believes. In this great, glorious gospel, the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith. Rise up and live by faith. The life of faith is a powerful life. The most powerful and richest king lives in you. I am that King. I am your treasure. You are a vessel of the earth, and the excellency of my power dwells and works in you mightily. I have commanded my light to shine brighter than ever before. My light has shined in your hearts and given you the light of the knowledge of the glory of God. Cease your acts as strangers, and awaken unto the reality of who you are in Christ. You are new creatures. Old things have passed away, and all things are new. All things are of God. I have reconciled you to myself by Jesus Christ. The ministry of reconciliation is in you. Now forsake this pauper mentality, and adorn yourself with the mentality of an ambassador. I have committed unto you the word of reconciliation. Rise up from your altars of need and go declare unto others, “Be reconciled unto God.”

RE: RHEMA – Spiritual Stability Is Rooted in God and His Righteousness

Winds of change and ground shaking movements will never remove those who are anchored to the Rock of our Salvation. We find safe harbor in the leadership of the Holy Ghost alone. Our ways are not the paths and methods that the Lord has chosen. Abraham was in the midst of some of his greatest trials when he lost his focus on the promises of God. When he began to deal with people and try to work out his own scheme of things, he began to listen to fear instead of faith. As long as he heard the voice of faith, he had his Jehovah-jireh experiences. Our feet must be established on the leadership and sensitivity to the Holy Ghost. God's promptings and stop signs must never be ignored. Everyone who is led by the unshakable directives of God will be continually giving all the praise and the glory to the Almighty One.

By Moses Hightower

(Continued)

Fight the good of faith and lay hold on eternal life. I have given you eternal life.

174. Will you allow it to depart without you?

175. Cease bartering at the bargain table of spirits with your spiritual wealth.

176. What will you accept in exchange for the love of God?

177. What will you accept in exchange for the grace of God?

178. What will you accept in exchange for the mercy of God?

179. What will you accept in exchange for the opportunity to pray to the Living God?

180. Then why have you accepted sleep instead of prayer?

O Lord, as I gaze from here into the universe, the light and energy of a billion points of definition converge on me at once. The sum total of all creation's symphony begins to fill the concert hall of my life with not just one note of your greatness but with the entire orchestra's score. I am so grateful because one universe could not contain the volumes of speech that would one day call my name. I am overwhelmed by the fact that you gather all existence into your measureless hand and still are interested in the small details enough to feel my pain. Infinite and ineffable is your greatness. If I were to divide the sum total of your greatness by every known number and subtract by a multiplied sum of them all, there would still not be enough numbers to add up all you are in one dimension.

My love and praise leaps dimensions when I get in the Spirit. My God, everything in the earth, on the earth, and above the earth praises you, the only Potentate. It is awesome to know that when I exalt your name, I do not just get a segment of you but every multiple facet of your eternal greatness. Life will try to take its floods and storms to cloud my life with discouragement, but when I stop and realize your greatness, the one who is on the inside of me, it is completely irrelevant what is happening on the outside.

As I realize the true size of my insignificant magnitude and the transformation you have made in me, to include me in the greatest event of all time, my heart overflows with unceasing gratitude. In everything, I purpose to give thanks for what is happening in my life, for it is the fine thread of the tapestry of beauty that you are weaving for my life. Thank you Lord!

RE: PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING - July 27, 2007

Voyager II spacecraft took twelve years to get to Neptune, which is one of the planets that is in our solar system. Man's best attempt now at travel would be an ion rocket that would travel at the rate of 150,000 miles per hour. It would take 17,900 years to get to the closest star! Yet in Ephesians, Jesus ascends far above all heavens and fills all things instantly. In the Psalms, David depicted the One who was on the throne above the heavens in Psalms 18 and immediately God showed up and shook the geography around him! Isaiah said that this One who is so far away on the throne of the universe would answer me before I call! Every difficulty and problem that comes our way is just an opportunity for our great God to show up and demonstrate his infinite love for us. As is in the death of Lazarus, it is for the glory of God to shine brilliantly in the face of living miracles!
