Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

The love of God is shed abroad in your heart by the Holy Ghost that is given unto you. Allow faith to be worked by this love, and nothing shall be impossible for you. Faith works by love. My love cannot fail. It will endure all things and grant you a view of others that is only seen through the eyes of compassion. A view through the eye of faith is limited. Only when you look through the eye of faith and the eyes of compassion will you see what I desire you to see. You may attain unto many things. I desire to see you profit the things designed by love. Though you have faith to move mountains and have not charity, it does not profit you anything. I have placed compassion within you. Now be moved by it, and it shall carry you into the dimensions of wonder.

A Friend Named Well-doing

My ways are not your ways. My thoughts and ways are much higher than your thoughts and ways. I am the Eternal God. I am filled with wisdom and understanding. There is nothing that I do not know, and there is nothing that I cannot do. Lift up your eyes from confidence in human ability, and behold the power of divinity. I am a miracle worker. I have a miracle working for you. It is being manifested even while you are praying. I have not left you alone to figure these things out, neither am I waiting to punish you for your mistakes, but I am available to help you in every dilemma. Do not trust the arm of flesh, neither lean on the arms of your own understanding. I have everlasting arms for you to lean on. These arms do not grow weary, and they are without flaws. My mind will not fail of the answer, for I know the beginning to the ending. I am everlasting. My nature is not understood by you, neither are you perceiving me correctly. You understand in a measure that is very limited. If you knew how little you really understand about me, you would be ashamed; therefore, humble yourself under this mighty hand, and become as a little child, knowing that I care for you.

This battle is mine. You gave your life to me. I accepted the exchange. You are not your own, but you are mine. I am the light of your life; therefore, darkness shall depart in my presence. The light of love shall shine its beam into your face and cause a different countenance to come forth for my glory. I will show of the strength of Jehovah on your behalf. The night of these last days shall not cause you to succumb to the forces of your adversary, but I shall give you new strength in this time of weariness. Do not be weary, for "well-doing" is your friend. "Well-doing" springs forth from my grace, and grace has already come forth in you and spoken to the mountains of despair.

Lift up your head again, and see that there is more than enough grace for your situations. I am the Lord, and I do not change. Come into my presence with a different attitude, and do not be frustrated any longer about the things that you cannot do anything about. Why worry about the past?

It is futile to worry about that which has passed. Simply learn from the past mistakes, and go on to make great victories out of these past mistakes. I am the Lord, and I do create a brand new life for you. Lift up your eyes to the confidence of the Lord that enters into your being. I will show you of my faithfulness and the greatness of my spirit working on your behalf. Lift up your eyes, and see that I am faithful who promised.

RE: RHEMA - A Friend Named Well-doing

Angels are the stockings of our feet. Miracles are the spiral stair case of the believer. We are not living under the doorsteps of the underprivileged. We are living in the chambers above the Holy of Holies. We have a great host of witnesses that urge us on with their testimony. Miracles are not spiritual flash cards. God is working while we sleep and even when we drive down the road. Many times the minds of the captives are being loosed from chains by thought processes that transcend our understanding. We are holding the hand of confidence that is his assurance and strength. We look through an enigma. We see in puzzle form the power of the miraculous. God has already put all the pieces together while we are in confusion as we view them in disarray on the table. He can make one sweep and put it together instantly! We will not be weary in the "well doing and well speaking." We will reap the harvest of promises and revival that God has promised. We can never do well and not have the God who says, "Well done," bring forth his greatness to surround us. We may fight against the forces of darkness, but he has already put every foe under his feet. He did not call us to struggle, but to rest. Confidence is the attitude we speak and live in. Confusion and doubt are the dust under our feet. Grace has so abounded to us that we have abounded to every good work.

DARKNESS, DOUBT, AND WEARINESS

God’s ways are not my ways. His thoughts and ways are much higher than my thoughts and ways. He is the Eternal God. He is filled with wisdom and understanding. There is nothing that he does not know, and there is nothing that he cannot do. I lift up my eyes from confidence in human ability and behold the power of divinity. Jesus is a miracle worker. He has a miracle working for me. It is being manifested, even while I am praying. He has not left me alone to figure these things out, neither is he waiting to punish me for my mistakes, but he is available to help me in every dilemma. I determine not to trust the arm of flesh, neither lean on the arms of my own understanding. Jesus has everlasting arms for me to lean on. These arms do not grow weary, and they are without flaws. His mind will not fail of the answer, for he knows the beginning to the ending. He is everlasting. I do not understand everything about God’s nature, neither do I always perceive him correctly. I understand in a measure that is very limited. If I knew how little I really understand about God, I would be ashamed; therefore, I humble myself under this mighty hand and become as a little child, knowing that he cares for me.

This battle is the Lord’s. I gave my life to him, and he accepted the exchange. I am not my own, but I am his. Jesus is the light of my life; therefore, darkness shall depart in his presence. The light of love shall shine its beam into my face and cause a different countenance to come forth for God’s glory. He will show of the strength of Jehovah on my behalf. The night of these last days shall not cause me to succumb to the forces of my adversary, but he shall give me new strength in this time of weariness. I will not be weary, for “well-doing” is my friend. “Well- doing” springs forth from God’s grace, and grace has already come forth in me and spoken to the mountains of despair.

I lift up my head again and see that there is more than enough grace for my situations. Jesus is the Lord, and he does not change. I will come into his presence with a different attitude. I determine not to be frustrated any longer about the things that I cannot do anything about. There is no justifiable reason to worry about the past. It is futile to worry about that which has passed. I simply learn from the past mistakes and go on to make great victories out of these past mistakes. Jesus is the Lord, and he will create a brand new life for me. I lift up my eyes to the confidence of the Lord that enters into my being. He will show me of his faithfulness and the greatness of his spirit working on my behalf. I lift up my eyes and see that he is faithful who promised.

INSPIRATION

RE: RHEMA - The Voice of the Faithful Witness That Spoke For Us Is Now Speaking In Us

As our faithful witness and righteous judge, his blood testifies on our behalf at the highest levels of creation, yet they are not words that are filed away in the annals of time. They resound again and again before every accusation that is cast at us. God has promised that he would cause our words to be the overwhelming dynamics of spiritual work in this hour. We must refuse to be knocked down by the false charges of defeat. Our mouth has shouted and sang the victory long enough that other words should refuse to come forth from the pen of our tongue. The imperceptible and the ineffable is the silver tongue of redemption singing the anthems of grace's finest blessings in our lives. It is not us but the grace of God that labors more abundantly than any other energy in our lives. Self and pride will shatter before the task that would lay before them. Every need that he fashions, our supply and miracle will not fit into the containers of the impure and the unholy. Every aggressive attack of suffering that washes over us cannot be compared with the glory that will be revealed in those who have committed their lives to his keeping. As we pray and bless in the spirit, as we speak into the darkness with the power of the word that causes darkness to be vaporized, the paths for our feet will become plain. All that he has spoken is not so much sand through an hour glass, it is, in fact, the glass that he will pour the events of timeless power and greatness into our lives. His words will never expire or vanish from our lives but will be the chariot of victory that will traverse the height, width, and depth of our chasms of fear.

(Continued)

Everyone must make the journey to the cross. No true disciple of mine can bypass the cross. Everything that you do points to the cross and there are no exceptions. Pride will not make the journey to the cross, for pride will only bow to human ego and false gods, but to me, the true and living God, only humility is accepted at my throne of grace. Do not lift your eyes in search of another path to victory and revival. The way of the cross is the way. I understand your human emotions and your fleshly desires.

347. Will you contend with emotions and flesh without a cross to crucify them to?

The way of the world is not the way of the spirit. The way of redemption has been clearly demonstrated for you.

348. Why attempt to design your own way when all the human efforts of the past have failed and only the way of the cross has succeeded?
