THOUGHTS: INSPIRATION SERIES By Moses Hightower * Pray and your effectual prayers shall avail much. Do not pray for those who are not fit. They have declared their unworthiness by their action. You cannot change God’s mind concerning these things that he shall crystallize before your face and before the world. Go on to the things that are of purpose and cease worrying and praying about the things outside of his will. * God has revealed himself unto you. Now come and sup with him, and he will eat of your praise and your worship. With his light and his furnace, he shall consume your offerings as a sacrifice well-pleasing. As a sweet savor of incense, he has received your offerings, and now he will confirm his promises through that which is weak and unlikely. He has promised. It is impossible for God to lie. He will do a marvelous work for his names sake; therefore, do not fear that the promises will not come to pass. He has promised. Do not consider your own self, neither the deadness of the things about you. Do not stagger at his promises through unbelief, but be strong in faith while you give glory to him. Be fully persuaded that what he has promised, he will perform. * I remember one of the first Rhemas that God ever gave to me. He simply said, “I did not say come unto me and struggle, but come unto me and rest. Jesus is the forerunner that has gone before us, and he is the anchor that is sure and steadfast in the heavens. Resting in the Lord is ceasing from our attempts to work things out and reassigning everything to God. Our labor is in getting the flesh to sit down and shut up as we praise the provider of every blessing in our lives. David said in the book of Psalms that he wanted to behold the beauty of the Lord. His beauty is multiplied in the dynamic changes when he gives us his beauty for the ashes of our burned down lives. God takes the things that are not and brings to naught the things that are. This is to prohibit any flesh from glorying in his presence. All the praise and the honor go to him. Our flesh will only entangle us in religious pride that will create a stumbling block in our lives. If we will ignore every effort of our flesh and the efforts of others to bring about Gods fulfillment, we will be ushered into the realm of stepping into complete trust in the Lord. We must remain steadfast and unmovable in our confession of faith. Every breath is the fire of the incense of praise upon the altar of Gods sure covenant. Just as Elijah built an altar to the God who visibly answers all critics and doubters, so must we build an altar and declare that God is God right here and right now! He will immediately consume the entire surroundings with his consuming fire of love. (Don Grigsby).
