A Dimension of Riches Hidden in Dark, Secret Places

By Moses Hightower

(Isaiah 45:3 -- And I will give thee the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel. KJV)

Today I will do a new thing. I desire to pour out the freshness of my Spirit upon you and baptize the people in the Living Word of power and revelation. Do not hinder the moving of my Spirit by your preconceived ideas concerning worship and my ways, but relinquish your temple to me. I have new dimensions for you to dive into. Come up higher and mount up on the diving board of faith. Leap into the new dimensions of the Spirit without fear. The deep calleth the deep. Do not settle for the shallow things of your mind, but believe that you are connected to the mind of Christ, and the unlimited power of this mind shall bring you instant understanding, wisdom, knowledge, and revelation.

I am bringing into your spirit right now the things needed for this service. Do not be afraid of the uncertain things in the darkness before your face. The darkness is the place where I have hidden the treasures of the last days. I have promised that I will give you the riches hidden in dark, secret places. You have come to those places. Now believe that you are Abraham's seed and an heir to the promises. You are no longer a stranger and a foreigner, but you are an heir, a joint-heir with Christ Jesus. Reach into the dimensions beyond yourself and bring forth the things that only faith can retrieve with hands of surety and not hands controlled by the mind of man.

I have lifted you by the power of the resurrection and granted you the light of the latter days. The enemy has no power to seize the light within you and bring it down. The light of your life is unapproachable by the enemy and his power; therefore, trust in your light, and you shall see the stars of the hour shine brighter than the sun. Go and turn others unto righteousness, and you shall shine. Do not be a part with the darkness, but be separate and full of faith. Worship in the beauty of holiness and sing the praises of newness, then shall you behold the slain giants that are already ambushed in the dimension of victory.

Come away from these low, beggarly concepts of religion and abide in the light of faith. Walk on the impossibilities before you and reckon yourself already at the end of these things. They are not hindrances to you, for I have gifted you with the ability of my Spirit; therefore, reside in the realm of the miraculous. Refuse to walk in the darkness of impossibilities. You have seen a small amount of light, but the greater light has not been seen nor realized. I am touching your spirit and your mind so that you may realize the vastness of what I am in you. Abide no longer in the bottom dimensions of hopelessness and distrust, but be raised by the resurrection to the top dimensions of hope and trust.

I am your light and there is no darkness within me. You feel the darkness of loneliness. You feel the pain of spiritual surgery in your side. You feel the drowsiness of frustration because you do not fathom what I am doing in your life, but only believe. I am reaching inside of you to take the most unlikely things in your life and create new things, new dimensions, new vehicles of expressions, and new relationships that you have not known. Yield to me totally, for I do a work in you that is not possible in the realm of your mental facilities. I am multiplying the miracles that you have experienced. I am casting down the lies of the devil, and I am giving you faith to use my name as a vehicle that shall swallow up the weapons of sorcery and witchcraft. Behold my way, for I have already taken you by the hand. Now follow the leading of my Spirit, and I will show you treasures in the dark things that have hovered over the people. I will show you the riches in their dark trials and bring them out of the dark, secret chambers of defeat. They shall come forth and shine with the brightness of their victor. Only believe.

Lift your eyes unto me. Behold my sacrifice and its light. I have taken my light and caused you to become a burning lamp and a smoking furnace of grace. Allow the lamp of life to shine into the pathways of darkness before the people. Go and be a smoking furnace of graceful spoken words that calms their fears and makes rich the lives of those who sit in the darkness of spiritual poverty. Go. I am with you to confirm my word with true signs and true wonders. Do not be caught up in the debates of the hour. You do not have to prove your knowledge of my word. Simply allow the Living Word to live its life out through you, and its activity will silence the mouths of the critics and the gainsayers. I have given you power over these serpents of debate and criticism. Tread on them with the light that is within you. The light that is in you shall transport you to dimensions beyond their words of darkness and distraction. Go and speak the word, and the word itself shall become channels for the people to travel through. My words are light. These words of light are greater than the laser beams of the hour. I have channels of victory for those who hear the words of grace. Go and speak the word of life, and the word of grace in the ears of the redeemed. Go. I am in you to do a work among those called by my name.

CRITICISM, DARKNESS, DEBATE, DEFEAT, DISTRACTION, FEAR, IMPOSSIBILITIES, PRECONCEIVED IDEAS, UNBELIEF, AND UNCERTAIN THINGS

RE: RHEMA - A Dimension of Riches Hidden in Dark, Secret Places

Not only are we promised the hidden riches of the darkness, but darkness is just like the light when God is present. God calls the light out of the darkness. In Psalms 139, David holds this conversation. He said that the darkness would cover him and that the night would be light all about him. The night shines as the day, and the darkness and the light are alike to God. With spiritual insight, we see that the darkness is just the shadow of the miracle of greatness that is coming to us. Jesus hung in darkness between the sixth and the ninth hour. Six is the number of man and nine is the number of the Spirit or the supernatural. He was letting us know that he filled the place between the inability of man and the supernatural ability of his power with some of the greatest suffering to purchase our peace of mind. The darkness was just the last part of our journey to the greatest miracle of all time. Jesus would swallow up death in victory. He will swallow up all of our fears and doubts as he seats us at the table and his revelation turns on the chandeliers of understanding. We see the greatest treasures and things that God has ever done come to pass! We will not return to the tables of past experiences when we can go on to the new dimensions of God. We will stand on the edge of the darkness as he pulls back the curtains of a day that has never dawned with miracles and behold what we have never seen before.

By Moses Hightower

You have waited on me to talk to you in times past, and I have always been faithful. I will always be faithful, for I am God. I am not a man that I should lie, neither will I deal with you according to your sins and transgressions. I have come to you in loving-kindness as I have always come to you. I dealt the measure of faith and grace necessary to accomplish the task that I have sent you to perform. Do not worry about the troublesome spirits that are raging during this time of confusion. I have set boundaries for these things. You are an overcomer by my blood and through my name. Do not look upon what you can do of yourself, but look to what I have already done. I have already placed these spirits beneath my feet. Now there remaineth no other place for them to reign. Do not worry. The dark things of the hour cannot harm you, for I have placed them beneath your feet also.

RE: RHEMA - The Statement of the Blood of the Lamb Declares Better Things Than the Blood of Men

Blood evidence usually settles every doubt in a paternity suit. His blood has settled the question as to whose we are. We are bought with the precious blood of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. Jesus is the righteous judge and the faithful witness. Jesus is the scapegoat for us in the matter of salvation. He took the guilt and penalty of our sin and carried it away into a trackless wilderness. In him was life and that life was the light of men. Sin and darkness had lied to us with the inflated words of pleasure for ages. Heaven had a thesaurus of true testimony that had never been printed anywhere. On the tongue of the Word made flesh, we began to hear the blood of God begin to speak. His blood has cleansed us and made us worthy to approach the throne of grace. His blood has made us a people that were not a people.

Our atonement was written on his back and in the palms of his hands. Healing announced its victory over cancer many years before the disease was ever discovered. His blood led forth the prisoners out of the pit with the announcement of a place of liberty through the blood of the covenant. Covenants may have been accompanied by the bleating of sheep, but the blood of Jesus justifies us once and for all time. Satan hates the blood of Jesus because it declares our true identity. As we declare the name of Jesus and the power of his blood, men will be drawn to him and set free. Those who have sat all their life in the closets of nothing, at the doors of plenty, will find leaping deliverance in the voice of the lamb. The Lamb is the true Lion of Judah. He is the Rock of our salvation and the chief cornerstone. We may deny him, but his blood will never deny us. His blood has declared the finish of the plans of destiny in our lives. His blood has spoken words that frame the completion of the victory of the enemy before the face of the entire world. We will ride out with him on horses with our robes washed in the blood and its proclamations of truth. Nobody and no situation can erase the story that the blood has written for our lives. We are living in the last paragraphs of its promises. We stand on the brink of the final redemption and revival of his name. His blood will be the sea of redemption that will wash away the deception from blinded minds. His blood will be the flood of power that will push the lies of the enemy off the surface of the seas of our lives.

(Continued)

Be thankful that you are called and chosen. Now be faithful. Prepare yourself for my coming. My wife will make herself ready. She shall be given grace that she might be arrayed in fine linen, clean, and white. She shall be adorned with the righteousness of saints. I have sent out the call unto the marriage supper of the Lamb.

288. If you dishonor me, how will you be ready when I come for my wife?

Many are barren of miracles in their lives. I desire to show forth my miraculous power in the lives of those who believe. The birth of Jesus Christ was a miracle.

289. Am I able to bring forth a child from a virgin and not able to bring forth the miracles that you need out of barren resources?

Jesus, I believe your word and receive of the new thing that you are doing today. I am overjoyed that you desire to pour out the freshness of your Spirit upon me and baptize the people in the Living Word of power and revelation. I purpose not to hinder the moving of your Spirit by my preconceived ideas concerning worship and your ways, but I relinquish my temple to you. I accept the new dimensions provided for me to dive into. By your grace, I come up higher, mount up on the diving board of faith, and leap into the new dimensions of the spirit without fear. I believe that I am connected to your mind, and the unlimited power of your mind shall bring me instant understanding, wisdom, knowledge, and revelation.

Right now, you are bringing into my spirit the things needed for this service. I will not be afraid of the uncertain things in the darkness before my face. The darkness is the place where you have hidden the treasures of the last days. I am overwhelmed and elated at your promises to me, and I stand fast in the knowledge that you have promised that you will give me the riches hidden in dark, secret places. I am so grateful that I am no longer a stranger and a foreigner, but I am a joint-heir with you. By your Spirit and with great purpose, I reach into the dimensions beyond myself and bring forth the things that only faith can retrieve with hands of surety. I will no longer trust the hands controlled by the mind of man.

I am thankful and full of joy that I have been lifted by the power of the resurrection and granted the light of the latter days. I shout with the voice of triumph, for the enemy has no power to seize the light within me and bring it down. The light of my life is unapproachable by the enemy and his power. I am determined not be a part with the darkness but to remain separate and full of faith. I will worship you, O Lord, in the beauty of holiness and sing the praises of newness that only you can inspire, and then shall I behold the slain giants that are already ambushed in the dimension of victory. Because of your love and the strength you are imparting unto me, I come away from these low, beggarly concepts of religion and abide in the light of faith. I am rejoicing as I walk on the impossibilities before me and reckon myself already at the end of these things. You are my light and there is no darkness within you.

I believe that you are doing wonderful and unfathomable things in my life. I am excited and full of anticipation because you have reached inside of me and taken the most unlikely things in my life and created new things, new dimensions, new vehicles of expressions, and new relationships that I have not known. By grace, I will continually yield myself totally to you, for you are doing a work in me that is not possible in the realm of my mental abilities. You are multiplying the miracles that I have experienced. I am indebted to you because you have cast down the lies of the devil and have given me faith to use your name as a vehicle that shall swallow up the weapons of sorcery and witchcraft. You have already taken me by the hand. I behold your way, and I follow the leading of your Spirit.

I cherish your word, and I behold your sacrifice and your light as I lift my eyes unto you. Even now, you are with me confirming your words with true signs and true wonders. I simply allow you, the Living Word, to live your life out through me, and your activity will silence the mouths of the critics and the gainsayers. I am thankful for the favor you have expressed toward me. This favor has granted me power over these serpents of debate and criticism. In this same power, I am treading on them with your light that is within me. Your words are light. These words of light are greater than the laser beams of the hour. I am rejoicing that you are in me to do a work among those called by your name.

Not only are we promised the hidden riches of the darkness, but darkness is just like the light when you are present. With the spiritual insight you have so graciously given, I now see that the darkness is just the shadow of the miracle of greatness that is coming to me. You hung in darkness between the sixth hour and the ninth hour, and you have shown that six is the number of man and nine is the number of the Spirit or the supernatural. I am reminded and I am thankful that the darkness was just the last part of the journey toward the greatest miracle of all time. You swallowed death in victory, and I am so honored to be a recipient of your sacrifice and suffering that purchased my peace of mind. You are swallowing up all of my fears and doubts as you seat me at the table. Now your revelation turns on the chandeliers of understanding that I may see the greatest treasures and miracles that you have ever done come to pass! I cherish the fact that you have fortified me with your strength so that I do not have to return to the tables of past experiences, but I can go on to the new dimensions in you. I stand on the edge of the darkness as you pull back the curtains of this day and receive of the revelation that the dawn of miracles will be unlike any other before this time. And now, I sing unto you a new song and shout with the voice of victory.

RE: PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING - February 9, 2007

Traditions of men trivialized the fresh revelation and miraculous works of Jesus in his days on earth. We must not try to put the new wine of the wisdom of spiritual expansion in the restrictive dimensions of our limitations. God is shaking the heavens and the earth with new and fresh innovations of the supernatural. God is shaking the tops of the trees of our lives as he marches his armies down into the field of battle. Like a flood of waters, he is about to wash away the entire tribe of the giants of fear and unbelief that have taunted us and traumatized our every effort. We have felt like today has been the narrow hallway between the vast rooms of yesterday and tomorrow. Our creator is about to fashion a dynamic dimension of power in the large room of today that only has yesterday and tomorrow as access doors to the infinite and unlimited. Unlimited power and promises made and kept are flooding though the doors of the past and the future into the floor of today's forever. We have been robbed of the eternity of today long enough. Today is the day that God has created, and it’s our salvation and prosperity. We do not have to linger and long for the blessing of God. His love is unloading the imperceptible freight of treasure into our lives as we speak. Dark shadows and the unseen is not the enemy that we have supposed that was stalking us. Every dark shadow and unseen space is about to be filled with the things that God has kept secret from the foundation of the world. He will speak them through his prophets, and they will come forth out of the unseen into our visible world. The darkness is only the tinted windows of faith's limousines pulling up to our residence with the treasure of eternity inside.
