Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

Beware of the leaven of worldliness. It is not an innocent seed. I am your Maker, the husband to the church. I have not sown worldliness. A little leaven will become the habitation of the whole lump. I have sown righteousness and holiness in you. The light of this sowing shall dispel all darkness. The light and the darkness cannot abide together. I have only one table. Forsake not the great mercies at the table of the Holy One of Israel. Enlarge holiness. Do not minimize it, neither compromise it. As I have loved you, so love me. You will not be ashamed for trusting and obeying me. Everlasting love is awaiting you. Come and follow it. It is the greatest. It is working your faith and is shed abroad in your heart by the Holy Ghost. Follow in faith. You are preserved in the hands of goodness and mercy.

(RHEMA: The Everlasting Covenant of Peace Has Restricted the Cold Love of the Last Days)

I will beware of the leaven of worldliness. It is not an innocent seed. God is my Maker, the husband to the church. He has not sown worldliness. A little leaven will become the habitation of the whole lump. He has sown righteousness and holiness in me. The light of this sowing shall dispel all darkness. The light and the darkness cannot abide together. God has only one table. I will not forsake the great mercies at the table of the Holy One of Israel. I enlarge holiness. I will not minimize it, neither compromise it. As God has loved me, so do I love him. I will not be ashamed for trusting and obeying him. Everlasting love is awaiting me. I have come to love, and I follow it. It is the greatest. It is working my faith and is shed abroad in my heart by the Holy Ghost. I follow in faith. I am preserved in the hands of goodness and mercy.

Victory Over the Resisting Hands of Confusion

I am not a man. I am God. I cannot lie, neither are my promises to you stifled by the hands of resisting enemies of the air. My word has gone out of my mouth, and they will not return to me empty or void. My word went out from my lips and came back full of purpose. I have not relinquished my word to the rulers of another kingdom, neither have I allowed other rulers to invade the government of God. My government increases each moment, and nothing can hinder its growth, nor its purpose. The enemy has no position in my government, yet I have complete control of his government. Confusion has stalked you day and night. As a wandering angry foe, confusion has sought to destroy your effectiveness and your confidence in my word and my promises. Rise up from the blows of confusion, and dust off the carnality from your heart and mind.

I am the same as I was yesterday and yesteryear. I never change. Do not allow the silence of the answers that you expected to rule in your mind, rather let the peace of God rule in your heart and mind. I will never leave you, and I will never forsake you. Though the minds of men may change, remember that I am not a man. I am the Lord Jehovah, the God of Malachi the prophet. He prophesied that I would not change, yet I was silent for many years after the promise of my faithfulness to him. Remember, one day is as a thousand years and a thousand years are as one day to me. I am the Eternal God, and I am not governed by time and the things that create impatience in man. I cannot be affected by the things that affect you. You have leaned on the arm of flesh. Cursed is the man who makes flesh his arm. Arise from the muscles of cursed flesh, and make the right hand of God your arm. Lean on the arm that is revealed to you, and see that I have already provided for yesterday, today, and forever.

Lift up your weary eyes, and fret no longer. I will be there with the provision in time. I have not brought you to this point in your life to leave you stranded with the beggars and paupers. I have not forgotten your labor of love for my name, neither have I planned to shut you out of the inheritance that I gave you. You are called and chosen. Now lift up your head again unto the throne of grace, and see that the scepter of righteousness has been stretched to you, a Gentile. I have invited you into my room of royalty and bid you to sit down with me. Look to my storehouse, and see that there is more than enough for your needs. Believe me. I am faithful and will not suffer you to be moved. I have judged fairly. I have judged according to your faith in my righteousness and my finished works. Lift up your head, for I will show you the right hand of God.

RE: RHEMA - Victory Over the Resisting Hands of Confusion

Many times, we have read and heard that God is not the author of confusion. In other words, he will not speak or write anything that would confuse anything that he has already said. Our adversary is a slanderer and libeler. It does not cost him a penny to lie and bring confusion. We should burn every message of fear and doubt that is passed to us in the fires of the worship in spirit and truth. Hands of a thief will try to reach in and steal the blessing and prosperity that God has promised. God will expose him and take from him all the weapons that he attacks us with. Jesus won that victory in eternity that we can experience it in our times. Confusion can be faith's conundrum. If the enemy has attacked us so severely, then we know that he is resisting a great event in our lives. Laws of dynamics apply in every dimension of the universe. When the enemy resists us, God's grace and power will much more abound. We will sit in the thrones of those who have been justified and vindicated. We will see that the confusion that came our way was just the devil's emergency alert that he circulated in hell to announce what was happening to the child of God that he is trying to discourage.

CONFUSION, MISTRUST, AND YOUR OWN ABILITY

God is not a man. He is God. He cannot lie, neither are his promises to me stifled by the hands of resisting enemies of the air. His word has gone out of his mouth, and they will not return to him empty or void. His word went out from his lips and came back full of purpose. He has not relinquished his word to the rulers of another kingdom, neither has he allowed other rulers to invade the government of God. His government increases each moment, and nothing can hinder its growth, nor its purpose. The enemy has no position in the Lord’s government, yet the Lord has complete control of the enemy’s government. Confusion has stalked me day and night. As a wandering angry foe, confusion has sought to destroy my effectiveness and my confidence in God’s word and his promises. I rise up from the blows of confusion and dust off the carnality from my heart and mind.

Jesus is the same as he was yesterday and yesteryear. He never changes. I will not allow the silence of the answers that I expected to rule in my mind, rather I will let the peace of God rule in my heart and mind. Jesus will never leave me, and he will never forsake me. Though the minds of men may change, I remember that God is not a man. He is the Lord Jehovah, the God of Malachi the prophet.

INSPIRATION

By Don Grigsby

RE: RHEMA - How Can You Properly View God without the Proper Concept of the Form of God?

His thoughts and ways transcend ours by a comparison not registered on any scale on the earth. Spiritually minded perspectives are not only life and peace but the only lens to begin to observe and be able to see the shadows of his power. In Job, it is stated that we hear only a minuscule portion of his ways. If the thunder is the faint whisper of his power what is it like when God shouts?

His kingdom is filled with much that we have never seen as yet. He will gladly reveal it to those who take hold of the spiritual prospectus that we can have if we hunger for it. In the untraceable paths of the power and dominion of his ways, we must dethrone self and any self righteous thoughts that would interfere with our view of the majesty of his greatness. Our thought ability is like a teaspoon at the Pacific ocean trying to dip up the whole ocean. It is impossible.

Our spiritual eyesight is affected by several things, not the least is our flesh's ability to rise up in all its forms of interference. As we are continually consumed on the altar of worship and sacrifice, this consumes the hands that would reach in and cover the eyes of faith. Heavenly focus is our prospectus. As we look away from the schemes of this system, we can begin to see the details of the beauty of the wisdom of God. Job only saw the unlimited ability of God when God was able to wash his mind with the questions that removed the questions of deity's sovereign prerogatives in his life. God has the pen in his hand, and he is drawing the detail of a mosaic that the angels will say is the framed portrait of his excellent power. Every word he has declared to us will be fulfilled on the canvass that he alone holds in his hand. All the scribbling of the earth's pencils is destined for the trash bin.

(Continued)

The agony of the war that has been waged by evil must be settled by your submission to the will of God. Agony cannot be settled without your own Gethsemane. My grace has leaped into your lives to bring the expressions and desires of the flesh to a calm state of submission. As I spoke to the winds and they obeyed, so will I speak to the agony of the hour for those who submit to their cross.

353. How will you submit to the cross if you will not fall on me and be broken?

I have revealed to you the power of Paul’s message. Go to the written word and trace his message throughout the Bible.

354. Have you read of his beginning and his ending?
