Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

I am dealing with you according to my everlasting, enduring mercy. I am able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above all that you have asked or thought. I have made a way out of what you thought was "no way." In my arms, there is no frailty. I am the source of strength. I am the creator. Can I make a man and not create what the man needs?

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

God is dealing with me according to his everlasting, enduring mercy. He is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above all that I have asked or thought. He has made a way out of what I thought was "no way." In his arms, there is no frailty. He is the source of strength. He is the creator. The Lord can make a man, and he can create what the man needs.

The Lord Will See You Through the Stormy Sea

(Part 2)

I am working on your behalf even while you sleep. Come from this small concept of me, and know me in the light of redeemed fellowship and communion. In the light of this relationship, I am brighter than all of the blinding troubles of unbelief. I have not forsaken you in this time of uncertainty. I am not that kind of God. I am a faithful savior. I am not simply called, “Wonderful,” but know that the secrecy of my name is more than simply a word. There are many meanings to that name, “Wonderful.”

Come away from food, and learn of the wonderful fellowship in hunger and denial. I will not condemn you if you fail, but try and receive the grace to succeed. I have not forgotten you, neither have I run away while you were calling. I do not have an answering machine, neither do I screen my calls. I hear everyone. I have listened intently at your prayers. I have also listened knowingly to your heart. I know the secret intent of your heart, and I also know what you do not know about yourself. The decision that I am making concerning you is rooted and grounded in divine love and not in knowledge about you.

Lift up your eyes from the dungeon of pity and worry. Look upon the eyes and hands of divine love. My love for you has not waned in the face of your executors, neither have I backed away and watched them conspire against you. I have sent a host here beforetime. Now watch the wave of my power on your behalf. Come to the arms of love this evening and rest from your labors of worry. You are stressing yourself out in vain. Rest and be renewed in my spirit. I am not passing you by. I am passing over and through this storm with you. Do not look upon the storm if you cannot bear looking in the face of frowning fury. Instead of staring at Fury’s expressions, look into the face of love and rest. Your mother would not allow you to fall if she had the strength to prevail in a situation. I have more than enough strength, for I have all strength. Then if your mother being evil would not let you fall, how much more shall I sustain you?

RE: RHEMA - The Lord Will See You Through the Stormy Sea

God made the seas and all that are in them. Man with his pollution and experimentation can cause to mutate or be fashioned the monsters and freaks of nature that we behold. We many times create our own fears and troubles, but the Lord delivers us out of them all. Much of the New Testament details the ability of Jesus to walk on the stormy waves, still the storm, and cause the ship to be on the other side, and the fish to get in the nets. Everything that there was about the sea he controlled. It did not stop the disciples from encountering the storms and difficulties. He just made sure that they could know that he would not leave them at the mercy of the wind and rain. God controlled the Jordan river and the red sea in the Old Testament. The flood of Noah fulfilled his word. Leprosy was cleansed in the Jordan. Bitter waters were made sweet and the iron that sank did swim. Since water covers more of the earth than the land, it speaks of the most numerous problems of impossibility that we will meet. We are told also that the glory of the Lord will cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. When the floods clap their hands, I believe that it is the ocean participating in the fulfillment of all God's word. When God made an ordinance for the seas to only come in so far we can see its certainty daily in the tides. We may be living at the flood tide of time, but the Lord still controls the tides. If he says we are going to the other side, then we are going to the other side. The promises he has placed in the arc that preserves us personally like Moses in the river of Egypt will bring us to the prosperity of the throne. Stormy seas are not the scourges of our destruction. Stormy seas are the covenant of our security in his arms. In the book of Psalms, the writer says it well. He raises up the stormy wind. They cry to the Lord at their wit's end and the Lord brings them into their desired haven.

A SPIRITUAL STORM

INSPIRATION

RE: RHEMA - Behold Eternal Things That Are Not Seen

Our lives are filled with surfaces and curtains that we need to probe beyond. God has chosen to take the unseen and unknown and make the things that exist pale in comparison to them. We are surrounded by hosts of angels and spiritual structures that desire to relocate on our vacant lots. We look not at the things that are seen but the things that are unseen. Our eyes have been adjusted by spiritual revelation to be able to view what has been there all the time, but not apparent to fleshly aptitudes. Every wavelength of human perception that we have is at the wrong angle. It is bent by the gravity of the world. Just as the solar wind comes to the earth and bends its magnetic field because it is more powerful, the Spirit comes with its wavelengths of light and clears the air of the dusty human understanding and replaces it with spiritual understanding. He has come to illuminate the vast spiritual venues that no window is large enough to expose.

God is taking the veil from our eyes in the hour that darkness would like to pull its curtains lower. We have been ushered into the dimension of that which has never been spoken before. That which Paul heard in the heavenlies will not translate down into our every day terms. God will translate us upward into what he is. We are comrades of those who saw the promises afar off and embraced them. With their testimony ringing in our ears, we stand on the mountains of time and fullness and declare that they live in our reality. We will, therefore, run the race with patience and clarity rather than confusion because we have seen the end of the race. Our time has come to sit at the feet of the one who is the image of the invisible. Faith has opened its massive doors of prophecy and reality for our entrance. A new world has been unfurled before our eyes. We will rejoice in the arrival of what we were assured was coming.

(Continued)

I am leading you into dimensions of ministry fashioned after the ministry in the foundation of the church. The apostles’ doctrine and the apostles’ ministry is the only ministry that has been ordered by me. Go back to the foundation and recover the ministry of the last days. I will show it to you. Go and retrieve that which is real and powerful, and then will you behold the result ordained by me.

406. I have promised and I will perform, but how can I perform if you have fashioned your ministry after the images propagated by fallen angels who have sought you as ministers of assumed reality?

The frontiers of the birth of souls shall make you glad, for you will behold the evidence of your sowing in tears and the reaping that brings great joy. Hear the words that I am speaking in your ears. These words are not idle, nor are they vain and unprofitable. These words are alive and powerful. They are dividing to the asunder of your soul and your spirit. They are now discerning your heart and showing you of your true thoughts and your real intents. Climb down from your tower of name fabrication.

407. Why fabricate a name for a powerless man when you can be an instrument to vent and show forth the character of that which is eternally fixed and established without fault and without the possibility of failure?
