The Removal of the Net of Confusion and the Ordering of Your Steps (PART 1)

By Moses Hightower

A net of confusion had been thrown over you. I have removed it. The enemy came against you to confound you. I have said, “He who believes on me shall not be confounded.” I have spoken. My word has gone out of my mouth and will not return to me empty or void. The path that I have laid before your feet is an ordered path. Do not be confused by the things that come against you from the author of this unfairness. It is working for you, not against you. Your enemies will strangle themselves by their unfair dealings toward you. I am a just God, and I am not a respecter of persons. I am the judge of the entire earth, and I will do right. Continue to pray for those who despitefully use you, and continually purify your heart by faith, which is in me. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see me. This is no time to allow resentment or bitterness to be planted in your heart; therefore, pray fervently for those who do you wrong, and you will guard your heart from the roots of bitterness. The roots of bitterness are being peddled by offenses designed by the enemy. Offenses have come and they will continue to come, but woe unto them by whom the offenses come. I am your judge and the judge of all men; therefore, allow me to vindicate you and take vengeance on your foes, and then will you remain a free man.

I have ordered your steps. I have spoken by you and placed my word in your tongue. I authorized you to speak in my name. Do not draw back from speaking, for I am in you speaking by the spirit of prophecy. Do not fear those who rule over men and are not just, for they do not rule in the fear of God. They are manipulators and shall suffer by the hands of their own schemes. The judgments designed by man shall be the judgments that I shall judge them by. A noose has been planned for you. I shall use their noose to hang your accusers. I have made an everlasting covenant with you ordered in all things and sure. I am your protection, and the hands of man or his schemes will not take you, but the man that shall touch you shall be fenced with iron and the staff of a spear. He shall be utterly burned with the fire of trial that I shall send in the same place.

Rise up with praises in your heart and worship with all that is in you. I have placed a sharp two-edged sword in your mouth. Swing it by opening your mouth wide to praise me at all times. It shall cleave to you, even when you grow weary, for I have made your tongue and my word one. I will fashion a great victory for you, and you shall eat the spoil with gladness. Pour out sacrifices of praise unto me. Break through the gates of hindrance with true worship and true praise, and then shall you find the well of living water that is inside of you. You have settled for the waters from a shallow stream. Now is the time to drink from the waters of life that are deep within me. The deep calls unto the deep at the noise of my waterspouts; therefore, even though your soul is cast down and my waves and billows are gone over you, I have commanded my loving-kindness in the daytime. In the night, my songs shall be with you.

Your prayers came unto me. I am the God of your life. This experience that you have with me is real. It is not a farce. You asked for bread and I have not given you a stone. You asked for fish and I have not given you a serpent. You asked for eggs and I have not given you a scorpion. If you being evil know how to give your children good things when they ask of you, how much more will I allow you to hear my voice and not be deceived?

It is I, the Lord Jesus, who is speaking to you. My sheep hear my voice. They know it and will not follow the voice of another. How can two walk together unless they both are agreed?

Then why do you attempt to walk with those that you do not agree with?

What do you expect out of such a relationship?

Accusers, Adversity, Bitterness, Confusion, Enemies, Hindrances, Manipulators, Offenses, Resentment, and Unfairness (PART 1)

By Milton Rodriguez

"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."

A net of confusion had been thrown over me. The Lord has removed it. The enemy came against me to confound me. The Lord has said, “He who believes on me shall not be confounded.” He has spoken. His word has gone out of his mouth and will not return to him empty or void. The path that he has laid before my feet is an ordered path.

RE: RHEMA - The Removal of the Net of Confusion and the Ordering of Your Steps (PART 1)

It goes without saying that we are promised that God will order the steps of a good man, and even though he fails, he will not be cast down because the Lord upholds him with his hand. Psalms 57:6-7 gives us the scene of men preparing a net for the steps of David, but he expresses that his heart was fixed with singing and the giving of praise. He refused to fall into the trap of distractions. Victims of traps are caught because they are distracted by the bait. Psalms 91 promises that we will be delivered from the snare of the fowler or entangler and the noisome pestilence. David said in another Psalm that if it had not been for the Lord on his side, then men would have swallowed us up, and we would have been their prey, but the Lord broke their snare. Our help is in the name of the Lord. Psalms 141:10 declares that the wicked will fall into their own nets and that we would escape. Psalms 119:133 records the prayer of David to order his steps in the word. It also prefaces it with the fact that the entrance of God's word giveth light and understanding. We can see every trap in the light of God's active word in our lives and walk around them and not become ensnared by them.

By Moses Hightower

Though you express gladness and rejoice to the music in your worship services, these things will not prepare you for the catching away of my wife. You must give honor to me in all things. Prepare yourself, for heaven is being prepared to open up as I prepare to judge and make war. The armies of heaven are prepared already. I shall tread the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of God. I shall come with my armies. All shall know that I am KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. Call on my name and be delivered, for the hour cometh when I shall come to judge all ungodliness. I have sanctified you through the truth. Remain faithful, and receive the grace to endure unto the end, then will you be saved.

I call on his name today, and I will be delivered, for the hour cometh when he shall come to judge all ungodliness. He has sanctified me through the truth. I will remain faithful and receive the grace to endure unto the end, and then will I be saved.

RE: RHEMA - Success Is Determined by Your Position, Not by Your Conditions

It seems that the word of the Lord is so on time with these Rhema words that you have sent. Even at the prison, the Lord spoke in the service and said, "This is the time that I will bring the total of all my greatness to the fullness of times. This will be the year that you will personally see the things that you have prayed for a long time. It will not be a vision. It will be the reality that stands before you and that you hold in your hand. Success will be the possession of the church and not of the world. You will be laughing with great joy and not be the one being derided and laughed at behind your back. Many will not wag their tongues at you but will stand in awe of the mantle of greatness that I have placed upon you."

We may encounter a storm, a valley, or darkness, but we will step into the planes of power before the Almighty. The gates of hell shall not prevail against the attack of our worship and prayer. Waters of refreshing are washing away all the dust of defeat that may have tried to stain us. We will not just be window shoppers wishing for the inside treasures, but we will be worshiping among the wealth that is ours.

By Moses Hightower

(Continued)

I have cut off the ungodly and given the wealth of the sinner to you. I prepared you a way and sent you to a place of refuge. In this house of refuge, you have life. Do not ponder the mystery of this grace unto you, but simply believe. As I made a way for the lightning of the thunder, so has a decree been made for you. Grace has always been yours, even in your times of serious inquiry. You have inquired of me and answered, "How can these things be?"

415. Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?

416. Do you have understanding?

417. Who laid the measures thereof if you know?

418. Or who has stretched the line upon it?

419. Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened?

420. Or who laid the corner stone thereof when the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

421. Or who shut up the sea with doors when it broke forth as if it had issued out of the womb?

422. 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?”

423. Have the gates of death been opened unto you?

424. Or have you seen the doors of the shadow of death?

By Milton Rodriguez

Lord, I thank you for your precious promises, which are sure and steadfast. They shall surely come to pass in my life, and my faults and failures will not be part of the equation of my deliverance. Your word and divine wisdom are the determining factors. You have promised to order my steps, for you have imputed your righteousness unto me through faith. Even though I fail, I will not be cast down because you, O Lord, uphold me with your right hand. I pray that my heart will remain fixed with singing and praising you. I am so thankful for the revelation of distraction’s plan, and by your grace I will do as David did and overcome these things. I praise you for helping me to recognize the enemy’s distractive ploys that have been sent my way. You have bestowed a treasury of knowledge upon me, and I give you thanks. Your word promises that I will be delivered from the snare of the fowler or entangler and the noisome pestilence; therefore, I rejoice. Today, I repeat David’s words: If it had not been for you who was on my side, then men would have swallowed me up, and I would have been their prey, but you broke their snare. I am overwhelmed by your goodness, and truly my help is in your name. I exalt you for your awesome arsenal of accurately fixed promises. My heart rejoices over your word which declares that the wicked will fall into their own nets and I will escape. Your word is sweet like honey unto my soul, and it is the entrance that gives me light and understanding. My steps are now ordered. I can see every trap in the light of your active word in my life, and I can walk around them and not become ensnared by them. I shout with the voice of triumph, for you reign.

RE: PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING - April 7, 2007

God delivered Israel from Egypt as he saw their affliction, which had to do with the every day pressures of life. God saw their taskmasters that meant in the original language “one who would drive someone like an animal”. We will be pressured and feel driven, but the eternal I Am is everything that he has always been right now for us! All of the promises of God are yes and amen to us through Jesus Christ. We are tempted to doubt or try to make things happen in the faith and prayer that we are involved in. The battle is always the Lord's, and we stand still and see his salvation. We are impatient, but he is Omnipotent. Rivers of living promises will fill our empty valleys of disappointment if we will never cease to declare his words to the seeming oblivion before us. As we do this, the oblivion before us will become the obtaining of the awesome answers that await us.
