You Are the Head and Not the Tail; Therefore, Do Not Allow Rejection to Paint a Distorted Picture of Your Position

I came that you might have life and that more abundantly. Your bosom should be running over, yet you live far beneath my design for you. I have made you the head, not the tail. Come from the tail of financial prosperity, and open your arms to what I am pouring out at the head of financial prosperity. Do not allow rejection to paint a distorted picture of how I perceive you. Turn your face from the canvas of rejection and look upon the real scenes of reality. The real scenes are controlled and authored by me. No camera or artist can duplicate what I have sent forth for you to experience. Just as sure as eye have not seen and ear have not heard, neither has it entered into the heart of man the things that I have prepared for you in heaven, so are your blessings coming out of the design of my mind for you. Look up from disappointment. His finger points to the things that he would like you to receive; however, I do not look to disappointment for directions for my children. Look to encouragement, for I have brought you a word in due season. I have pulled back the veil from your mind and brought you into the chambers of weapons that have not been used by many. These weapons are mighty. When used, they will expose all the lies of your enemy and reveal me as the big God that I am before the world. I am entrusting these weapons into your hand. Fire these weapons and destroy all false images of doubt and unbelief that have paraded through your midst. I am using my love as a launching pad for the weapons of power that I am giving you. Now stand aright and fire these weapons with your tongue of fire.

"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 Disappointment, Distortion, Doubt, Lies, Poverty, Rejection, and Unbelief

By Milton Rodriguez

Jesus came that I might have life and that more abundantly. My bosom should be running over, yet I live far beneath God’s design for me. He made me the head, not the tail. I come from the tail of financial prosperity, and I open my arms to what he is pouring out at the head of financial prosperity. I will not allow rejection to paint a distorted picture of how God perceives me. I turn my face from the canvas of rejection, and I look upon the real scenes of reality. The real scenes are controlled and authored by him. No camera or artist can duplicate what the Lord has sent forth for me to experience. Just as sure as eye have not seen and ear have not heard, neither has it entered into the heart of man the things that he has prepared for me in heaven, so are my blessings coming out of the design of his mind for me. I look up from disappointment. His finger points to the things that he would like me to receive; however, God does not look to disappointment for directions for his children. I look to encouragement, for he has brought me a word in due season. He has pulled back the veil from my mind and brought me into the chambers of weapons that have not been used by many. These weapons are mighty. When used, they will expose all the lies of my enemy and reveal Jesus as the big God that he is before the world. He is entrusting these weapons into my hand. I will fire these weapons and destroy all false images of doubt and unbelief that have paraded through my midst. God is using his love as a launching pad for the weapons of power that he is giving me. Now I stand aright and fire these weapons with my tongue of fire.

RE: RHEMA - You Are the Head and Not the Tail; Therefore, Do Not Allow Rejection to Paint a Distorted Picture of Your Position

God has orchestrated events of these last days so that a flood of people from everywhere are going to come and beg at our feet for the help that only God can provide for them. Isaiah 49:23 says they will lick the dust of our feet. Isaiah 60:14 tells us that God will cause those who despise us to bow down to the soles of our feet. Those who afflicted us or the Hebrew means to browbeat as if we were insignificant. Afflict here means to depress, trouble, look or look down on. Verse 15 says if we have been forsaken or hated that God will make us an eternal excellence and a joy of many generations. We have been accepted in the beloved beyond any rejection that matters. We must behold those who are coming for the gift and blessing that God has placed in us.

By Moses Hightower

You were a slave to sin. Your old master, the devil, has not given up his pursuit to bring you back into bondage. His quest to capture you is consistent. Do not fear, for I am your protection. I have made provisions for you. You are freely given all things that pertain unto life and godliness. Grace and peace are multiplied to you. My grace is more than enough. My peace passes all understanding. It will keep you when understanding has reached its limitations. I will not betray you. I will never leave you. I am not a covenant breaker. I am a covenant keeper. There is nothing in the enemy's kingdom that I would hand you over for. I do not sell out. I am faithful. My life was not too much for me to spend for you. You are mine. Who has a price more than what I have paid for you?

If there was a price greater, I would not sell you because I am love. I bought you to save you and give you eternal life. If only you would recognize how much you are worth to me, then you would have an established value of yourself. If you knew how much you were worth, why would you sell yourself for something of lesser value?

I recognize how much I am worth to God. Now I have an established value of myself. Now that I know how much I am worth, there is no reason to sell myself for something of a lesser value.

RHEMA - The Presence of the Lord

Just wanted to share a little inspiration the Lord gave me…

Psalms 8:3

When we consider the heavens and the work of his fingers, what is man that thou art mindful of him and the son of man that thou visiteth him? To realize who and what magnitude he is manifesting to us is so important. Some of the latest Hubble shots are of the Abell 1689 star galaxy cluster. It is one of the most dense and massive star clusters known. The exposure is two million light years across. There are over a hundred thousand billion solar masses in this region. I began to consider this and think of how they could measure it. There was another article at the same time about the measurement of gravity as being the same speed of light. The earth based instruments (Hubble is out in space) can measure a silver dollar on the surface of the moon or a human hair at the distance of 250 miles. At our best, Paul said, “We are looking through a glass darkly.” (or we are at our best with these powerful instruments only measuring the faint shadows of God's creative power as compared to the full light of it.) Wow! Who is here in our midst? The presence of God is as if all of heaven was written on a scroll and then unrolled in your mind like the sudden unrolling of a window shade all at once. The presence of God is like God rehearsing all his promises in our hearing, and our being is the signature line, and we feel him signing his name on our being. His presence is like all the winds of heaven converging all at once on our spirit and blowing through the key hole of our worship and opening the door of all that heaven is. The presence of God is as if the warm hands of heaven took hold of the icicles of fear that hell had formed in our soul and turned them into a refreshing, soothing shower in our spirit. The presence of God makes us feel naked and yet clothed, hungry and yet filled, slain and yet so alive, on our faces and yet before his face, away from everything and yet surrounded by all that he is. His presence is like us taking all our words and turning them inside out, and all together there is not enough to make even the smallest pocket to hold a little of what we feel! Thank God for his presence.

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.

191. What do you think of the wind?

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.

192. Why do you think that I instructed you not to cast your pearls before swine?

Lord, I am thankful to be called by your name. I know that you have orchestrated events of the last days so that a flood of people from everywhere are going to come and beg at our feet for the help that only you can provide for them. Your word states that they will lick the dust off our feet and that you will cause those who despise us to bow down to the soles of our feet. Although I may be afflicted, browbeaten, depressed, troubled, or looked down upon, I am confident that you are with me. I am grateful that you will make me an eternal excellence and a joy of many generations. Beyond any rejection that matters, I am grateful that you have accepted me. Thank you for the grace to behold those who are coming for the gift and blessing that you have placed in me. I believe your word; therefore, I am confident that you will perform it.

RE: PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING - August 2, 2007

Jesus Christ was despised and rejected of men. He was despised and no one esteemed him. Yet, in another chapter he is the ruler of peace on the throne of David. How can we know the value of peace unless we have had chaos? Out of rejection flows the reverse that embraces the hurting and helpless. Jesus was the stone that was rejected by the so called builders. Yet, the architect of the universe made it the chief corner stone. We are lively stones from that very same Living Stone. We are being placed and built into the structure of the kingdom by the hands of the Master Builder.
