Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

You may now serve me without fear and in total confidence of my love for you. You may now rest, and be confident of my faithfulness at all times. I am not a man that I should lie. Men are able to carry you through some difficulties but will not always respond to your needs. I am able and willing to respond with results that will prove that you can place your trust in me. Know that I am not only able to carry you through, but I will carry you through.

(RHEMA: Our Captain Knows Where He Is Going In the Voyage Across the Stormy Sea)

I may now serve the Lord without fear and in total confidence of his love for me. I may now rest and be confident of God's faithfulness at all times. He is not a man that he should lie. Men are able to carry me through some difficulties, but men will not always respond to my needs. The Lord is able and willing to respond with results that will prove that I can place my trust in him. I know that he is not only able to carry me through, but he will carry me through.

The Majesty of the Bridegroom Beyond the Fog of Rebellion

Night is falling from eternity. The day of your redemption draws nigh. I am coming for the body that I have purchased with the precious redemption price. The riches of my price cannot be annulled, neither can the expression of the hand of the resurrection be held back. The wave of my hand through the earth shall sweep up the bride of Christ. I shall embrace her in my bosom as a chaste virgin in the evening time. I shall come quickly, and my reward is with me.

The night of the last days is approaching rapidly. The eyes of the blind shall not see me, for their blindness is unto perdition and damnation. Allow the spirit of liberty to open your eyes unto the surety of my coming, and do not be distracted by the lord of the air. The princes of this world are working exceedingly greater than you think they are. The rebellion of the hour is not a mystery, but it is the effect of devils working to bring about damnation unto all that will not submit to the authority of God. I have sent forth the angelic host to separate the sheep from the goats and the wheat from the tares. Do not be rebellious and disobedient for any reason, but be submissive in all things. There is a crown of righteousness for the overcomers. How will you overcome if you draw back to go your own way?

Who will give an account for your soul if you have no head or leadership appointed by me?

How can you appoint your own headship?

The hour of self-appointed headship is rushing into the lives of the simple and the foolish of the hour. They shall find their vessels empty of the expression of the resurrection, for the resurrection will not come to vessels of disobedience. Only the obedient shall eat the good of this land that I have prepared for my bride.

Lift up your eyes unto the things before you. Behold the majesty of the end times. Behold the majesty of my coming in clouds with angelic friends and servants from on high. Do not be wise in your own eyesight and discount the words in your hearing as idle expressions from a human mind, but be alerted to the surety of my word, which has declared that sons and daughters shall prophecy. The night is approaching. Look and see that the day vanishes as a vapor, and night enters as a vicious tornado. Do not look for safety in the path of the wrath of God, but seek the grace of the Almighty while there is time. I will not be found of you that hear me now and reject my admonitions. Hear the voice of prophecy, and seek my face in this very hour. The light that causes you to see now shall not be available to those who turned from the hands of the plow of love. You cannot declare yourselves fit when I have declared you unfit. Turn and be converted and then will the refreshing of the last days be poured out in the presence of the storm that approaches. While there is time, I counsel with you to turn and be converted unto true righteousness and true holiness.

RE: RHEMA - The Majesty of the Bridegroom Beyond the Fog of Rebellion

Shadows of the evening are cast on the face of the earth. Just as God impacted the uncreated world with light the enemy is trying to hide the face of the earth from it's creator with darkness and rebellion. Antichrist is the spirit of rebellion and anarchy. Self rule and men doing what is right in their own eyes is the concentrated form of this spirit. I must be accountable to the Chief Shepherd, the Lord Jesus Christ. God also places other leaders in my life that I am accountable to. We do not live to ourselves or die to ourselves. Satan's plan is to get us wrapped up in ourselves. Anarchy and private interpretation are the words of the hour. We must humble ourselves under the hand of the Lord and submit ourselves one to another. We are all part of the body of the bride of Christ. A glorious church that the Lord is preparing for himself. The hour of darkness would like to overshadow the willing hearts that will shine in this hour. When we behold the beauty of the Bridegroom and the sweeping revival that is coming to us, we will sing and shout "Yes" unto the Lord. Every distraction will evaporate and every foe will disintegrate before the powerful appearance of the Potentate who will show who is the only One who is in charge.

THE FOG OF REBELLION

Night is falling from eternity. The day of my redemption draws nigh. Jesus is coming for the body that he has purchased with the precious redemption price. The riches of his price cannot be annulled, neither can the expression of the hand of the resurrection be held back. The wave of God’s hand through the earth shall sweep up the bride of Christ. He shall embrace her in his bosom as a chaste virgin in the evening time. He shall come quickly, and his reward is with him. The night of the last days is approaching rapidly. The eyes of the blind shall not see him, for their blindness is unto perdition and damnation. I will allow the spirit of liberty to open my eyes unto the surety of Christ’s coming, and I will not be distracted by the lord of the air.

INSPIRATION

RE: RHEMA - Look Fear In the Face, and Stand In Its Presence With Total Confidence In God and His Promises - Part 2

Our place in time and the kingdom has already been drawn in by the best artistry of grace. Fear may bring all its forces and reinforcements, but God has already written total victory on the folder that contains our report. Foundations may shake and fall, but the mountain of assurance of faith will never slide into the sea of doubt. Elements of battle may melt down, but the shield of faith will always quench every fiery thought with its holy anointing. Stumbling blocks may be placed before us, but the Lord will turn them into a highway of victory because we are lively stones from the Living Stone. When fear comes to ply its wares, we have been given more than enough grace that we will not be partakers of its party. Promises are not just floating around in the air to be swept away by the many masks of fearful circumstances. We will stand on the solid rock of his words. If not one letter or the smallest piece of a letter will pass away until it is all fulfilled, then the full promise that we have is multiplied many times over with unmoving hope in the face of threats that will never develop. Our assurance is not a temporary patch or overnight remedy that only has a residual effect. His assurance is everlasting. Our expectation cometh from the Lord. His is the lifter of our head and the strength of our confession and life. Fear may appear with a wrecking crew, but they will be scattered like the snow in the wind of the blizzard force of the Almighty.

(Continued)

Weary and worn, I continued my journey to the hill of execution and fulfillment of redemption.

400. Will you halt in a journey of easy yokes and light burdens?

By grace, I endured my cross while draped with shame. With my heart encompassed with shame, I endured my cross for the joy I saw before me. I could have refused death, but you would have been left under death’s decree and judgment; therefore, I accepted the taste of death for you. I opened up myself and swallowed death in victory. Through my system came the disease of sin and death. Your lot came upon me and righteousness consumed your judgment as justice was satisfied and your debts paid.

401. Why weep about doing the will of God when you have been loved in this manner?
