The New Experiences Are Platforms for the Manifestation of Miracles

I have not forgotten my promises unto you, neither have I set aside your destiny. You are destined to present Rhema to multitudes. Right now, I am using you as a shepherd. Do not despise your duties as a shepherd. This is what David was doing when I sent someone to find him. David did not push himself into royalty. I knew who he was and where he was. When the fullness of time was come, I sent someone to carry the news of his destination. You do not have to push yourself into the limelight of religion. Your future assignment is not a religious assignment. It is a royal assignment. While being a shepherd, I have prepared you for your assignment. Many answers are within you; therefore, do not be anxious, but by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your request be made known unto me. My peace, which passes all understanding, is keeping your heart and mind through Jesus Christ.

The things that I have allowed to be destroyed in your life were destroyed so that I may reconstruct the necessary new things that you need in the future. I have destroyed the old way of thinking, and I have constructed a new thought life in you. I have transformed you by the renewing of your mind. Your new mind shall surprise you. Awaken to your new equipment that I have given you. Do not contaminate your new mind with the old things. Do not go in the direction that the old mind led you into, but be alert to your new mind. Obedience is better than sacrifice. Obey the words that are coming to you in this time of devotion to me. Your new experiences should be viewed as stepping stones, not spoilers of your destiny. The new experiences are platforms for the manifestation of miracles. I will demonstrate my power through you in these last days. Faith is living in you. I gave you faith. Now allow that faith to live in you and through you. Do you believe in the gift of the working of miracles?

The overflow offerings are works that will work out miracles in the lives of the people. You have given them instructions. Now, as they obey, they will be blessed. Many miracles will happen in your midst. Begin to pray for the people, and as you agree with them the power of agreement shall bring forth miracles. Miracles in regard to health and finances shall be common among you, for I wish above all things that the people prosper and be in health. Your soul has prospered. Now it is time for you to prosper in finances and health.

Your enemies shall bow before you. Simply please me. I have control over your enemies. I will command that they be at peace with you as soon as you please me. I will confound the wisdom of your enemies. No flesh shall glory in my presence. I have brought you to humility. Your enemies reside in their high places proclaiming that they are exalted above my word. I shall bring them down from their high places. Your hope will not make you ashamed before them, for hope does not make you ashamed. From your hope and the faith that I gave you comes the many miracles that you need. Faith will get you through this thing that has terrorized you. Grace has energized your faith, and faith has brought forth the answers found in the miraculous realm. Only believe.

I will take care of the prince of the power of the air. I have reversed the things against you; therefore, rejoice. I passed into the heavens; therefore, hold fast to your confession. I saved you from your sins and the wrath of your enemies. I have not placed you in a holding position where you are waiting on my coming, but I have placed you in an overcoming position where there is life more abundantly and victory over all things. Greater am I who is in you than he who is in the world. Every tongue that shall rise up against you in judgment, I will condemn it. Now rest in the royal position that I have placed you in.

"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 Anxiety, Confusion, Disobedience, Enemies, Pride, Lack of Prosperity, and Sickness

The Lord has not forgotten his promises unto me, neither has he set aside my destiny. He has destined my Pastor to present Rhema to multitudes. Right now, God is using him as a shepherd and he does not despise his duties as a shepherd. This is what David was doing when God sent someone to find him. David did not push himself into royalty. God knew who he was and where he was. When the fullness of time was come, he sent someone to carry the news of his destination. He does not have to push himself into the limelight of religion. His future assignment is not a religious assignment. It is a royal assignment. While being a shepherd, God has prepared him for his assignment.

Now it is time for me to prosper in finances and health. My enemies shall bow before me. I must simply please God, for he has control over my enemies. He will command that they be at peace with me as soon as I please him. He will confound the wisdom of my enemies. No flesh shall glory in his presence. He has brought me to humility.

RE:RHEMA - The New Experiences Are Platforms for the Manifestation of Miracles

God is about to take us upon mountains of prophecy and performance that are above the clouds of all our past experiences. Lions and leopards dens are there also, but the Lord will close their mouths. He spoke to me recently and said, "I am the God of your good days and the God of what you call your bad days. I change not. My promises are not diminished by what you experience. Everything that I have promised should be in your tongue. Do not mix what you do not understand with the words of faith that I have given you. As you received my Spirit and allowed your words to be my words, do not go back now and insert the words of your own measure and experience. My calling is unto ways of worship and speaking that will seem almost outside of your body. I have called you beyond yourself and beyond your circumstances. Do not try to allow your circumstances to catch up with what I am speaking or doing in your life because it will never be able to fit into the far reaching dimensions that I share with you. I called Ezekiel and John to speak of things that were far beyond themselves. No knowledge that was then present had any capability to grasp the arena that I spoke of to them. I am doing the same for my people today. Present knowledge does not have the ability to grasp the creative works that I now unfold."

Miracles and angels are riding in the chariots all around us. Ladders from heaven are extending into our lives. God will fill our present with the presence of things that have been kept secret since before the world began. Every letter of every word of God will be fulfilled in our lives. We stand with the assurance that we will not be crushed by circumstances but thrust into the chambers of complete certainty in our minds and hearts.

By Moses Hightower

Have I ever forsaken you?

Will I ever forsake you?

My word is gone out of my mouth. My word is true, and I am true to my word. I am true to those who believe. My judgment does not slumber. My justification is not slack and insufficient. Come away from condemnation. I have not led you there. I have led you to justification by faith, which is in me. You have looked at your failures and predetermined judgment. I have looked at the sacrifice of the Lamb of God and predetermined justification. I have justified you.

Now who will condemn you?

Who will lay any charge to my elect?

I justified you, and only I can condemn you. Turn your ears from these voices in the air, and listen to the voice of the faithful witness within you. Love is speaking to you. The love that was demonstrated at Calvary speaks on your behalf. You may perceive the love of God through the action of the cross where I laid my life down for you. The laying down of this precious life for you is an actuality that cannot be dismissed by the voices of the princes of this world. I have loved you with an everlasting love. I have redeemed you by precious, innocent, and holy blood. Now receive the confidence contained in these words, and be restored to true faith again. Have faith in me.

I have looked at my failures and predetermined judgment. God has looked at the sacrifice of the Lamb of God and predetermined justification. Christ has justified me. Now no one will condemn me. No one will lay any charge to God’s elect. He justified me, and only he can condemn me. I turn my ears from these voices in the air and listen to the voice of the faithful witness within me. Love is speaking to me. The love that was demonstrated at Calvary speaks on my behalf today. I perceive the love of God through the action of the cross where Christ laid his life down for me.

RE: RHEMA - True Righteousness and True Holiness Turns the Heart from Speculative Power unto the Power of God

Repentance is not just a trip down some road of regret. It is our revulsion for sin and our denial of its power to influence our lives. We turn our back on the things that will destroy us and begin to walk with the One who will lead us into paths of righteousness. Daily, our lives need to be washed in the tears of repentance because of our inability to properly appreciate his greatness. True holiness and righteousness is perfect transparency. Spiritual transparency is the complete absence of self and the ultimate and clear reflection of the image of God. We are constantly renewed by the power of creation and the washing of the Rhema word. God's current words to us are holy and right. If his words are alive in us, they will inject or fuse in our spiritual make-up the nature of the Righteous Judge and Holy One. We are not seeking to be right just to be right but to please the Lord. When a man's ways please the Lord, even his enemies can be at peace with him. Holiness and righteousness may not be the latest online seminar, but it is the living sermon that sears our flesh and presents it as a living sacrifice. Our reasonable service is to present our body as a living sacrifice. When we do, we allow God's holiness to consume us, there is nothing left for the enemy to work on. Other voices may call us to popularity, but holiness calls us to the power of God. Miracles can be many, but we rejoice more over our eternal salvation in our beloved. We will preach the gospel of holiness and refuse to ride in the chariot of religious pride. We will walk with the One who left blood stained footprints in the sands of time.

(Continued)

I have spread a table before you and placed fresh bread, water, wine, and meat in your view. Eat the meal on my table, and do not eat from the table of devils. If you eat from the table of devils, then you trust the provider of that table to give you liberty. You cannot eat at both tables. You must choose the table that you are going to eat from. The one that you choose has the God that you will serve.

257. Why praise me with your mouth while sitting with my enemies for a meal?

I am the Lord.

258. Are the things on my table sufficient in all things?

259. Where did you get your appetite for devilish things?

By Thelma Hightower

Lord, I am thankful that you are the God of my good days and also the God of the days that I call bad. Just as you shut the mouth of the lions for Daniel, you will shut the lion’s mouth for me. I am so grateful that I can depend upon your word, for you are the Lord and you change not. Your promises are not diminished by what I experience. Just as you called Ezekiel and John to speak things that were beyond themselves, I believe that you will do the same thing through me. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but your word will not. For this Lord, I am well pleased and I give you praise.

RE: PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING - August 29, 2007

God's word that is spoken to us and through us has never lost any of its creative or fighting power. God's word will intercede for us and will be the incense of our prophetic praise to him. In Revelation, we find that the one who is making war on behalf of the saints is the word of God. By the word of God that is spoken through us, we have the opportunity to be the open door of heaven on the earth. Whatever the day brings to us, we can declare it to be whatever it needs to be, and God will back us up. We do not allow the day to dictate to us, who are the children of the Eternal Day or what will happen in our lives.
