Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

I am clothed with invisibility, yet I am not limited to the invisible world. I have limited your eyes and your understanding, yet by my grace, I have allowed you to see into the invisible. You can of yourself do nothing. With men, many things are impossible, but with me, all things are possible. Refuse not charity and compassion. Wear them, and allow them to dwell in you. I am leading you into places of ministry that are forbidden by those without charity and compassion. A ministry without charity and compassion will produce indebtedness for you. Many people have become disadvantaged believers, for they have sought to minister without charity. Their spiritual returns are not profitable to the kingdom of God, and their spiritual revenue is a detriment to their testimonies. Put on charity, and lay aside this liability.

Walk With the Day Star, the Author of Your Faith

The night has come and presented a portion of its expression. Night came to the horizon of the day and looked upon the line that divides day from night. Only the hand of eternity controls the fervor of Night's expression of deception by false peace. The night has adorned the attire of peace. Its similitude to my realness is not coincidental but a careful design from the mind of the night. The attire of the night does not resemble the identity of one walking in darkness, but Night's attire is a costume fashioned by craftiness. Continue walking in the light, and you will not walk with the night. A walk with the night is a journey filled with horrifying experiences that never end. Do not begin the journey with the darkness of damnation because it will never end. There is no nightmare of your dreams that compares with a journey with the night. Lift up your eyes and your heart unto the Day Star while he is yet here. Behold him, and embrace him, for the departure of the day rushes out with the entrance of the night. Do not be deceived with the masses, for those who walk in the broad way of this life are journeying down corruption's path. I saw you in the by-way of death and called you forth from sins and transgressions. Open up your mouth, and proclaim my goodness in the land of the living. The Day Star has anointed you and broken you off from the clutches of the darkness. Come now, and follow me, and I will show you of the dimension designed by the Author of your faith. Walk as a child in simple trusting faith. I will show you of the surety of Rhema in this hour. You must believe in me and my voice that speaks to you. Abraham had no written word the way you have it. He simply believed in me and my spoken word to him. I have appeared unto you in like manner. Believe that your faith is accounted to you as righteousness. Now behold the blessings of Christ, for they are yours because of him. Only believe.

RE: RHEMA - Walk With the Day Star, the Author of Your Faith

It is written. What a statement! In its full analysis, it means that it has been written, it is being written, and it will continue to be written. This means that God's word not only spoke before there was a man but now God continues to use the mouth of man as the pen of a ready writer or scribe to write the powerful words of creation. The author of our faith is the creator of the universe. In the heavens is written an endless commentary of glory and faithfulness. The Day Star that has arisen out of our hearts is a more sure word of prophecy. If the psalmist said that the stars utter speech continually in every language, then every day the Author and Day Star is uttering the word of creation and praise in our lives. Gravity of this star has lifted us above the gravity or pull of the things of this life. We are pulled toward the heavenly world. We are of the day and not of the night. We wear the armor of light and are clothed with the brilliant garments of praise. Dusty darkness has not designed our clothes. The season of harvest is here. As we change clothes for the season, we need to throw off any garments of sorrow and put on the garments that are made of the Rhema promises of God. Every word is a beautiful seam and panel of power in the array of glory that God vests us in.

THE DARKNESS OF THE NIGHT

The night has come and presented a portion of its expression. Night came to the horizon of the day and looked upon the line that divides day from night. Only the hand of eternity controls the fervor of Night’s expression of deception by false peace. The night has adorned the attire of a peace. Its similitude to God’s realness is not coincidental but a careful design from the mind of the night. The attire of the night does not resemble the identity of one walking in darkness, but Night’s attire is a costume fashioned by craftiness. I will continue walking in the light, and I will not walk with the night. A walk with the night is a journey filled with horrifying experiences that never end. I will not begin the journey with the darkness of damnation because it will never end. There is no nightmare of my dreams that compares with a journey with the night. I lift up my eyes and my heart unto the Day Star while he is yet here. I behold him and embrace him, for the departure of the day rushes out with the entrance of the night. I will not be deceived with the masses, for those who walk in the broad way of this life are journeying down corruption’s path. God saw me in the by-way of death and called me forth from sins and transgressions. I will open up my mouth and proclaim his goodness in the land of the living. The Day Star has anointed me and broken me off from the clutches of the darkness. I will follow Jesus, and he will show me of the dimension designed by the Author of my faith. I will walk as a child in simple trusting faith. He will show me of the surety of Rhema in this hour. I must believe in the Lord and his voice that speaks to me. Abraham had no written word the way I have it. He simply believed in God and his spoken word to him. God has appeared unto me in like manner. I believe that my faith is accounted to me as righteousness. I now behold the blessings of Christ, for they are mine because of him. I believe.

INSPIRATION

By Don Grigsby

RE: RHEMA - Our Faith Is An Authoritative, Winning Faith That Is Persuasive

Our Designer and maker will never give a command that he does not give more than enough promises and fulfillment to bring it to pass. His commands, in fact, compliment us because it considers the fact that we can, through his grace, be more than a conqueror. We are inspired by the promise that he is able to make all grace abound so that we will have all sufficiency in all things and abound to every good work. All the “abounds” in the original language have to do with super, excessive abundance. More grace than we will ever process in faith is always available to those who come boldly in faith. Every arena of our faith has been reinforced and enhanced by ministering angels and ministers of faith. Every word of appreciation and phone call lets us know that even though we have not conversed with certain individuals who bring us words of confirmation, the Lord has us on the same network of hearing and faith. Our instructions are to arise and to speak with authority the words that sound strange and foreign to many, but they are the treasured blessings from above to the thirsty and hungry soul. They are the bread and meat of our daily table. Will we be frightened and timid at our own table that the Lord has prepared for us?

Now we know that the enemy is always trying to trespass on private property. By our lips, we will post eviction notices against his intrusions. The hour has come for every one of his people that are aware of the words of power that he has laid a treasure in our heart and mouth to realize the sweep and scope of what happens when we declare with the authority of his name and sovereignty. Voices begin to thunder in the heavens that bear witness with our own. Rivers and doors of egress are thrown open in our lives and in lives beyond us that we may never see or hear from. Let us not be weary in well doing.

(Continued)

Leap for the joy of your salvation and receive the benefits of life in the heavenly places of love. Do not say that your leap of faith is in vain. My word has gone out of my mouth and will not return to me empty. I have sent my word and created a vehicle that brings you the reality of your faith and presents it to you as a reward for your trust in me.

355. Why boast of anything when you can do nothing of yourselves?

I am your strength and your life. Without life and strength, some things are not possible. With me, all things are possible if you believe. Believe on me as the scriptures have declared of me and reap the great rewards of this great salvation. I am your salvation. I am the only savior.

356. Is there a savior besides me?
