Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

You have come to the throne of mercy. Now believe that at the throne of mercy, there is help for your unbelief. I am helping your unbelief right now. Lean on these strong arms of compassion, and rest from the stress of this dilemma. Rest from your weariness, which has come by trusting in a human and fleshly answer and source. You have knelt at my throne. My throne will be the place where your unbelief is destroyed. I have heard your cry; therefore, shout for the glorious triumph on your behalf by the arms of faithfulness.

Do you believe in miracles?

Then prepare for one. How many do you need?

Then prepare for more than you need.

(RHEMA: There Is No Comparison between the Magnitude of Impossibility's Range of Power and Magnitude of God’s Range of Power)

I have come to the throne of mercy. I now believe that at the throne of mercy, there is help for my unbelief. God is helping my unbelief right now. I will lean on his strong arms of compassion and rest from the stress of this dilemma. I rest from my weariness, which has come by trusting in a human and fleshly answer and source. I have knelt at the Lord's throne. His throne will be the place where my unbelief is destroyed. The Lord has heard my cry; therefore, I will shout for the glorious triumph on my behalf by the arms of faithfulness. I believe in miracles. I prepare for a miracle. I need many miracles; therefore, I prepare for more miracles than I need.

The Shower of Love For the Debris of a Spiritual Fog and the Dust of Carnality

Do not reason after the fashion of those who do not know God. Come and reason with me, and I will show you of divine wisdom and understanding. Come and reason with me, and I will demonstrate the faithfulness of divinity. I am without a creator. I always have been and will never cease to be. I am the Eternal Father, your creator. Though you were conceived in sin and shapen in iniquity, yet have I brought you forth again unto a lively hope instead of the dead of hope of your first birth. You had to be born again. Flesh and blood cannot inherit eternal life. Only the redeemed shall walk here in the light of eternity with the Eternal Father. Walk while you have the light and darkness will never overtake you. Don’t go back to the darkness, and it won’t come to you. Press toward the mark before you. It is a worthy prize on the other side of the race and the joy that is set before you. It is even on the other side of your hope, for your hope shall remain intangible until the time that your prize is given you for attaining unto the mark. I have more than a high calling set before you. I have heaven and all the blessings of eternal life. Do not let your personal feelings persuade you to listen to them. I have not brought you a message rooted in your personal feelings and attitudes, but I have brought forth a message from the throne that is rooted in holiness and righteousness. My holiness is the soil from which love sprung forth. Love will come forth out of the dry things of this life because its origin is not in the dry things, but its origin is in holiness.

I am holy. Be holy. I am holy. I am light. I am love. Choose this day what you want to be, Unholiness,...darkness, ...hate?

Choose. You must make a choice in your circumstances. Are they worthy of your salvation?

Will you give your salvation for anything?

Do not be persuaded to believe the presumptuous things of your mind and of other people’s minds, but be persuaded to love regardless of the circumstances and the pain. My pains as a righteous man were for you. Are your pains as an unrighteous man for others?

Come now, and let us reason together. I have not left you to find your way through this fog of the evening time. You will wander in the fog of misunderstanding and hurt feelings if you yield to the rain and dew from their formations. The fog of misunderstanding and hurt feelings has saturated your life. You are affected because you are over-sensitive. Is that bad?

Is that good?

Whether it is good or whether it is bad, is not the question. Are you offended?

Then what about my law?

Do you love it?

Take this cloth of redemption and faith, and come to the showers of love and rededication. Use the soap of cleansing, and wash yourself from the polluted fog. Be refreshed with the shower of understanding and knowledge. Then will you be cleansed of the debris of the fog and the dust of carnality. While the fog of misunderstanding has covered your mind and your life, the wind of confusion has blown the dust of your own thoughts back upon you. Enter the shower of love, and be washed with my love. I have not forgotten you. I have not forsaken you. I am the miracle worker. Now know that all these things have happened for a purpose. Now behold what I will do in your life because of my love. Because of love, I will show you my salvation. You know my name. Now rest in the hope of eternal redemption from all these things.

RE: RHEMA - The Shower of Love For the Debris of a Spiritual Fog and the Dust of Carnality

Love will not only cover, but it will wash away the debris of destruction with its healing therapeutic words. We are washed by the Rhema word. As we speak it, there should be a washing away of fear in those who hear us, but also a deep cleansing for us. In the One who is love, are the treasures of wisdom and knowledge that will fill our hearts with the assurance of his commitment to us. We are invited to look at life through the lens of the miraculous. In the Holy of Holies that is before the mercy seat, the only light is the supernatural light of the Shekinah of glory. As we view all of life in that light, love will give us mercy’s perspective. Surely goodness and mercy will follow, surround us, and go before us. We need to wash the windows of our dwelling. The light of the body is the eye. If our eye be single then our body is full of light. If the light that is in us be darkness then how great the darkness. When we wash away the things of personal reservation, we will not shadow or tint the light of love that would illuminate us and cleanse us. It has long been a thought of my mind that the creation began when the creator took the cloth of light and washed the face of the earth free of darkness, Creation will wash us with the washing of regeneration over and over again if we will hear his voice. Doubt’s fog is disbursed by the driving rains of the power of the Holy Ghost. As we stand and dance in the rain rejoicing, our minds are cleansed and our spirits are set free.

A SPIRITUAL FOG AND THE DUST OF CARNALITY

I will not reason after the fashion of those who do not know God. I come and reason with God, and he will show me of divine wisdom and understanding. I come and reason with him, and he will demonstrate the faithfulness of divinity. God is without a creator. He always has been and will never cease to be. Jesus is the Eternal Father, my creator. Though I was conceived in sin and shapen in iniquity, yet has he brought me forth again unto a lively hope instead of the dead hope of my first birth. I had to be born again. Flesh and blood cannot inherit eternal life. Only the redeemed shall walk here in the light of eternity with the Eternal Father. I am walking while I have the light, and darkness will never overtake me. I won’t go back to the darkness, and it won’t come to me. I will press toward the mark before me. It is a worthy prize on the other side of the race and the joy that is set before me. It is even on the other side of my hope, for my hope shall remain intangible until the time that my prize is given to me for attaining unto the mark. The Lord has more than a high calling set before me. He has heaven and all the blessings of eternal life. I will not let my personal feelings persuade me to listen to them. He has not brought me a message rooted in my personal feelings and attitudes, but he has brought forth a message from the throne that is rooted in holiness and righteousness. God’s holiness is the soil from which love springs forth. Love will come forth out of the dry things of this life because its origin is not in the dry things, but its origin is in holiness.

God is holy. I will be holy. God is holy. He is light. He is love. This day I choose what I want to be. Unholiness,...darkness,...and hate are not acceptable choices for me to choose. I must make a choice in my circumstances. These options are not worthy of my salvation. By grace, I will not give my salvation for anything. I will not be persuaded to believe the presumptuous things of my mind and of other people’s minds, but I am persuaded to love regardless of the circumstances and the pain. Jesus’ pains as a righteous man were for me. My pains as an unrighteous man are not for others.

I will come unto God now, and we will reason together. The Lord has not left me to find my way through this fog of the evening time. I will wander in the fog of misunderstanding and hurt feelings if I yield to the rain and dew from their formations. The fog of misunderstanding and hurt feelings has saturated my life. I am affected because I am over-sensitive. This is bad. This is not good. Whether it is good or whether it is bad, is not the question but whether I am offended. If I am offended, it means that I do not love God’s law; therefore, I choose not to be offended and love the Lord’s law. I love the Lord’s law.

I take this cloth of redemption and faith and come to the showers of love and rededication. I will use the soap of cleansing, and wash myself from the polluted fog. I will be refreshed with the shower of understanding and knowledge then will I be cleansed of the debris of the fog and the dust of carnality. While the fog of misunderstanding has covered my mind and my life, the wind of confusion has blown the dust of my own thoughts back upon me. I will enter the shower of love, and I will be washed with God’s love. He has not forgotten me. He has not forsaken me. Jesus is the miracle worker. Now I know that all these things have happened for a purpose. Now I behold what he will do in my life because of his love. Because of love, God will show me his salvation. I know his name. Now I rest in the hope of eternal redemption from all these things.

RHEMA

RE: RHEMA - Open Your Mouth, and Say What God Has Said Then Will the Goal of Faith Rest On God's Authority and Reality

We stand today as those who returned from the tomb with fresh news of a Resurrection and words of hope and inspiration instead of doubt and innuendo. Our words seem to be just idle words to many. God's Rhema has been energized by the same power that put the north over the empty space. The same power that commanded the light to shine out of darkness has brought fresh revelation to our hearts. Fresh revelation and fresh words of faith liberate us from the iron fisted hold of the false dimensions of fear. His strong words have given to us the certainty with which to march into every day with the mastery. Biblical covenants were words passed between friends. His covenants of power today are written in the indelible fire of the inspiration of the word that he speaks and confirms on a daily basis.

The Lord spoke to me and said,

Rise up, and shout like mighty warriors the words of declared defeat in the ears of the enemy and friend then they will know that when the Lord brings forth the victory that he still speaks to his servants and confirms that word. Your battle is in my hands. I have already planned and directed your victory. Shout in the face of every foe boldly. Do not be intimidated by their size, resources, or numbers. Refrain not yourself from declaring bold details of the victory. If I pardoned according to Moses’ word, I will hearken and do according to your words. With your tongue, I will write a manuscript of manifested power. Do not be afraid of the words that come to your mind and mouth. Satan would not give you any small letter of his own demise. Be certain then that the words of victory are mine that have become thine! I can give words, or I can take them away. Now I have created deep pools of living words that spring to the top like cascading fountains. The mist and the spray of the spoken blessing will come even on those who just pass by you. You now process the mastery of every matter in the shouted declarations of your mouth.

I checked, and the Hebrew word for the “mastery” is defined as the “shouting of a mighty warrior.” Faith has been left by the way by many. We know that it is the only vehicle of victory for our lives. The words of faith in our mouth will refuse to be silent in the face of all rejection and intimidation. We have heard the voice that spoke the stars into their fiery orbits. We will be deaf to any other voice, for they will only pull us down, whereas, his will lifts us above the gravity of this negative world.

(Continued)

When things are counted loss for the sake of winning me, then my holiness shall shine as many suns multiplied. Do not say that you have counted all things loss when they lay near by in your heart. You will choose to remain with your treasures on the earth unless you empty your heart of idols. Go and study idols.

370. Do you know what an idol is?

371. Have you any idols?

372. How will you know if you do not know what one is?
