Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

Behold the strong arms of God, which hold the rope of grace that is bonded to you. The strong arms of the Lord hold fast to the rope of grace. You will not fall to the rocks below and be destroyed by the enemy. You are destined to fulfill the word of God that has gone out of my mouth. My grip is not weak and anemic. The grip of love cannot be loosed from the rope of grace that holds you. Show forth your confidence in my rope that keeps you abounding in all things. The rope of grace will not break. The sharp knives and sharp rocks of the enemy cannot cut it. This rope of grace has all strength. This strength cannot be reduced; neither can the strength of my rope be abused; therefore, fear not.

(RHEMA:The Grip of Love and the Harness of God's Faithfulness Is Greater Than All the Weights and Forces of Evil)

I behold the strong arms of God, which hold the rope of grace that is bonded to me. The strong arms of the Lord hold fast to the rope of grace. I will not fall to the rocks below and be destroyed by the enemy. I am destined to fulfill the word of God that has gone out of his mouth. His grip is not weak and anemic. The grip of love cannot be loosed from the rope of grace that holds me. I show forth my confidence in his rope that keeps me abounding in all things. The rope of grace will not break. The sharp knives and sharp rocks of the enemy cannot cut it. This rope of grace has all strength. This strength cannot be reduced; neither can the strength of his rope be abused; therefore, I do not fear.

Awaken O Bride of the Evening Time Unto the Whisper of Your Lover

I am the father of creation, the Lord, your God. Give glory unto the name which is above every name. It is a glorious name, for it is higher than all names. I am the one true God, the Eternal Spirit. Jesus is my name. There is no name above this name, for it is a hallowed name. It has been set apart in the heavens and in the earth. Do not be drawn away from the truth concerning this hallowed name of your father. I am the father of lights and the father of spirits. There is no other creator. I did not counsel with anyone. Who has been my counselor?

I am all wise and do not need to counsel with anyone. I am the father of lights. Without me, there is no true light; therefore, do not forsake the true light for it lightens everyone. My spirit will not always strive with man, but in due time the judgment of the father of lights shall remove the candlestick of life from all who do not know God and do not obey the gospel. Shake yourself and awaken unto godliness and holiness. I am the father of spirits, and I will not allow the spirit of the devil to reign with the spirit of God. Choose this day whom you will follow. The spirit of God or the spirit of the devil; the spirit of truth or the spirit of error; the spirit of holiness and godliness or the spirit of unholiness and ungodliness?

Choose this day whom you will serve. No man can serve two masters, for if you do, you will certainly hate one of them. Do not be beguiled by the spirit of error and accept the inspiration which leads to a double mind, but awaken unto truth and light that your mind will be enlightened with the spirit of truth and freedom. I am the light of the world, and those who have my light will not be hidden in these last days. I do force you out of hiding and bring you to the hill of visibility that my light may shine and glorify me, your King.

Look up, and see that redemption is drawing near. The signs of the times are all about you. Be not slothful in this last hour of the church upon the earth, for I do come quickly for my bride.

Go and say,

"Awaken Zion from your slumber and put on strength,
for the Lord Jehovah, your Jesus,
does prepare for your catching away."

Go and say,

"Look up, O eyes of weariness
and be refreshed with the washing of Jehovah's water,
for he does pour out fresh waters upon his bride in her closet."

Go and say,

"O bride of the evening time,
awaken unto the whisper of your lover,
for he does prepare to knock on your heart and snatch you away with the swiftness of the resurrection's power.
Awaken O bride of the evening hour,
your lover, who is your God,
does come for his purchased possession.
Babylon shall fall
and its cry shall be heard from here to there
and everywhere in the land.

Awaken, O bride of the evening hour,
for the love of Jehovah
does whisper in the ears of the hearers in the closet."

Go, for I have made you a messenger of the end time hour. Do not be afraid to speak, neither concern yourself with who will believe you and who will not, for I have appointed you to speak and say that:

"I do come with the swiftness of the eagle of light.
I have already arisen with healing in my wings
and now the bride of the gospel's closet
shall prepare herself for her morning of glory.
I do send my messengers to prepare her adornment.
Her spirit shall be meek and quiet
and her holiness shall radiate with the radiance of purity
and not the similitude of harlotry [prostitution].
I shall make you shine in your appearances of modesty
and sweetness of spirit,
for I am the holiness within you,
O bride of the evening hour.
O bride of the evening hour.
I do whisper in your ears
and bring you to the threshold of pure trust and faith.
Look and see the light through
your window chambers in your heart.
My messengers have peered through
the chambers of your heart
and prepared you the messages of light
that you might know of the secret passage of truth
where you shall run with the swift legs of love
and be caught away in the morning of resurrection.
Look unto me, O bride of the evening hour.
It is evening time, and there is light.

Come unto me and know that my arms of love
reach forth unto your chamber.
Come and know that these arms shall embrace you forever.
Come, O bride of the evening hour."

(And then I saw the wonder of eternity as my eyes were closed and my mind filled with wonder for what would happen next. Then my mind went back to the Lord's Prayer. Reflections of the words, "Thy kingdom come" came to my mind. I heard the Lord say,)

Do not look there. Do not look here. Do not look anywhere except within you, for my kingdom has already come and now dwells within your heart. The kingdom of God did not come by your observation, but it came with power and demonstration of my spirit and has been placed within you. This kingdom has made you the recipient of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. Awaken unto the kingdom, and know that this kingdom shall ever increase. It is the government of the hour and of the increase of this government and peace there shall be no end.

I am causing my will to be done. Though it seems that many things are going wrong, everything is going right, for all things are working together for the good to all those who love me and all those who are called according to my purpose. I have made the wicked, and I have made the godly, the wicked for my own day of judgment. Choose this day, for I do show that the evil of the hour, neither the ungodly shall stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

Awaken and shine the light, for I do break the comprehension of the wicked and the ungodly, and they shall be in derision and total confusion. Awaken O' light of the day, for I have brought my kingdom of pure light and placed it within you that you might shine.

My will is being done in earth. It is being done in heaven. Allow it to be done in you. Here is bread. Know that it is the manna from the heavenly throne and from the baker of good bread that is not filled with the leaven of the religious. This bread was baked with my spirit and imparted by my spirit, and now served to the hungry for righteousness. Open your mouth wide, and I shall feed you the bread of the morning and the diet of victory. Open up your mouths, and open up your hearts, for the bread of victory is placed in your mouths and in your hearts and in your minds. I do bring a renewing to your minds. The spirit of your mind shall show that you are sound and filled with power and love. Eat and be filled with my goodness, for I shall use you to manifest the truth of this gospel of deliverance.

(I began to speak in tongues and pray unto the Lord in the Holy Ghost. I felt myself being built up on his faith, which had become my holy faith. It dawned on me that I was living the life of God's word as a modern day believer. A surge of faith came and I knew that all things were possible. Then I heard in my hearing these words,)

Lift up your head, and lift up your hands, not the hands of doubt and unbelief, but lift up holy hands without wrath and without doubting. Pray for forgiveness, and receive the forgiveness that you pray for. I am the Lord, the forgiver of all iniquity and all sin. Forgive all those who have trespassed against you while you sit and while you stand praying, then will I also forgive you.

I have led you in a plain path that leads to the still waters of the morning. It is your place to drink today. Here there is a pasture with nourishment that shall bring you new strength. I have not tempted you, for I do not tempt anyone. Relinquish all your lusts and then will you continue to follow me, the Lord, your God. My hand is stretched forth for your lust. Give lust to me, and then shall you remain near the legs of the church as it walks through the earth in liberty and freedom.

The enticing things of the hour shall not keep you from the preparation of my bride, for I have given you faith, and now righteousness shall lead you in my steps. You will come to the hill of salvation and from there shall you be caught away. I will deliver you from all evil for my own name's sake. All things are for my glory, for it is my power that has brought you to the chambers of departure. Lift up your eyes, for I do prepare to wipe your eyes and embrace you with eternal arms of eternal strength.

Thus have I spoken unto you, O Gentile child.

RE: RHEMA - Awaken O Bride of the Evening Time Unto the Whisper of Your Lover

If we sleep when his voice is at the window of our soul and looking on at our lattice, then we are in the sleep that will cause us to miss the rapture if we continue in that state. Our beloved is speaking the poetry of love in the ears of those who he has betrothed. Stairways of inspiration that lift the stars to the heights of the heavens are the zephyrs that are gentle breezes of honey that drip into our hearing form the voice of the creator. Creations symphony has been playing as the angels sing the harmony of the greatest love songs of History. His great love for us has thundered in the giving of the law and gently led us in the arms of a shepherd . We must not sleep when there is so much to hear at his feet. The lullabys of the hour will cause us to listen to other voices. We have turned our ears to the love that caused darkness to blaze and silence to shout as it heard the words of mercy and forgiveness from the cross.

As the bride we should shake ourselves from the shackles of our neck and put on the garments of strength. We should shake ourselves from the dust of defeat. Victory is the cleansing waters that wash our face and in the light of the evening time. We are told that the thunder is the faint whisper of his power in the book of Job. His whispers are the headache that robs hell of any sleep. Love's grandest whisper is the wonderful tones of his presence. His arms hold us close and his hand is under our head. When we hear these words, we are deaf to anything else. In other words, his whisper drowns out all other overtures of the enemy. When we feel this kind of love, we are ready to quit keeping records on anything and anyone else. Love is the highest degree of tolerance. Love sets everyone else free to choose and still loves them. He loved us enough to die for us and allow us to totally reject him, and he still reaches out and embraces our rejection and rebellion with his redemption . Our love for him should be so overflowing that it does the same for every one who would be our enemy. Loving our enemies is not a side show at a carnival. It is the center stage for mature lovers only. It is a light thing for us to love those who love us back. When another person spits in our face with false accusations, they spit in his face. When they pull the very fiber of our life apart, they pulled out his beard and scalp. When they lash out with bitter whips of lies and beat us behind our back with wounds that will not soon heal, they did it to him. If they would nail our very best effort to a cross and laugh at it, they did it to him. Then he loved them still! Our love has then been fashioned by the Words and whispers made flesh!

DOUBT AND UNBELIEF

Jesus is the father of creation, the Lord, my God. I will give glory unto the name which is above every name. It is a glorious name, for it is higher than all names. He is the one true God, the Eternal Spirit. Jesus is his name. There is no name above this name, for it is a hallowed name. It has been set apart in the heavens and in the earth. I will not be drawn away from the truth concerning this hallowed name of my father. He is the father of lights and the father of spirits. There is no other creator. He did not counsel with anyone. No one has been his counselor.

The Lord is all wise and does not need to counsel with anyone. He is the father of lights. Without him, there is no true light; therefore, I am determined not to forsake the true light for it lightens everyone. His spirit will not always strive with man, but in due time the judgment of the father of lights shall remove the candlestick of life from all who do not know God and do not obey the gospel. I must shake myself and awaken unto godliness and holiness. Jesus is the father of spirits, and he will not allow the spirit of the devil to reign with the spirit of God. I choose this day whom I will follow. The spirit of God not the spirit of the devil; the spirit of truth not the spirit of error; the spirit of holiness and godliness not the spirit of unholiness and ungodliness.

I have chosen this day whom I will serve. No man can serve two masters, for if I do, I will certainly hate one of them. I purpose not to be beguiled by the spirit of error and accept the inspiration which leads to a double mind, but I awaken unto truth and light that my mind will be enlightened with the spirit of truth and freedom. Jesus is the light of the world, and those who have his light will not be hidden in these last days. He does force me out of hiding and brings me to the hill of visibility that his light may shine and glorify him, my King.

I look up, and I see that redemption is drawing near. The signs of the times are all about me. I am not slothful in this last hour of the church upon the earth, for he does come quickly for his bride.

I will go and say,

"Awaken Zion from your slumber and put on strength,
for the Lord Jehovah, your Jesus,
does prepare for your catching away."

I will go and say,

"Look up, O eyes of weariness
and be refreshed with the washing of Jehovah's water,
for he does pour out fresh waters upon his bride in her closet."

I will go and say,

Awaken, O bride of the evening hour,
for the love of Jehovah
does whisper in the ears of the hearers in the closet."

I will go, for the Lord has made me a messenger of the end time hour. I will not be afraid to speak, neither will I concern myself with who will believe me and who will not, for he has appointed me to speak and say that that he has said:

Come unto me and know that my arms of love
reach forth unto your chamber.
Come and know that these arms shall embrace you forever.
Come, O bride of the evening hour."

(Then I saw the wonder of eternity as my eyes were closed and my mind filled with wonder for what would happen next. Then my mind went back to the Lord's Prayer. Reflections of the words, "Thy kingdom come" came to my mind. And this is my agreement with what I heard the Lord say,)

I will not look there. I will not look here. I will not look anywhere except within me, for the Lord's kingdom has already come and now dwells within my heart. The kingdom of God did not come by my observation, but it came with power and demonstration of his spirit and has been placed within me. This kingdom has made me the recipient of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. I awaken unto the kingdom, and I know that this kingdom shall ever increase. It is the government of the hour and of the increase of this government and peace there shall be no end.

The Lord is causing his will to be done. Though it seems that many things are going wrong, everything is going right, for all things are working together for the good to all those who love him and all those who are called according to his purpose. He has made the wicked, and he has made the godly, the wicked for his own day of judgment. I choose this day, for he does show that the evil of the hour, neither the ungodly shall stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. I awaken and shine the light, for he does break the comprehension of the wicked and the ungodly, and they shall be in derision and total confusion. I awaken O' light of the day, for he has brought his kingdom of pure light and placed it within me that I might shine.

God’s will is being done in earth. It is being done in heaven. I allow it to be done in me. Here is bread. I know that it is the manna from the heavenly throne and from the baker of good bread that is not filled with the leaven of the religious. This bread was baked with his spirit and imparted by his spirit, and now it is served to the hungry for righteousness. I open my mouth wide, and he shall feed me the bread of the morning and the diet of victory. I open up my mouth, and I open up my heart, for the bread of victory is placed in my mouth and in my heart and in my mind. He does bring a renewing to my mind. The spirit of my mind shall show that I am sound and filled with power and love. I eat and I am filled with his goodness, for he shall use me to manifest the truth of this gospel of deliverance.

I lift up my head and my hands, not the hands of doubt and unbelief, but I lift up holy hands without wrath and without doubting. I choose to pray for forgiveness, and receive the forgiveness that I prayed for. He is the Lord, the forgiver of all iniquity and all sin. I forgive all those who have trespassed against me while I sit and while I stand praying, then will he also forgive me.

God has led me in a plain path that leads to the still waters of the morning. It is my place to drink today. Here there is a pasture with nourishment that shall bring me new strength. God has not tempted me, for he does not tempt anyone. I relinquish all my lusts and then will I continue to follow him, the Lord, my God. His hand is stretched forth for my lust. I give lust to him, and then shall I remain near the legs of the church as it walks through the earth in liberty and freedom.

The enticing things of the hour shall not keep me from the preparation of the Lord's bride, for he has given me faith, and now righteousness shall lead me in his steps. I will come to the hill of salvation and from there shall I be caught away. He will deliver me from all evil for his own name's sake. All things are for his glory, for it is his power that has brought me to the chambers of departure. I lift up my eyes, for he does prepare to wipe my eyes and embrace me with eternal arms of eternal strength.

Thus has he spoken unto me, a Gentile child.

INSPIRATION

By Don Grigsby

RE: RHEMA - Oftentimes, Impossibility Is the Womb For the Fulfillment of God's Promises

Job was shaken to spiritual reality when God gave him a first hand account of creation from his perspective. In summarizing what God was telling Job, he said, in essence to Job, that everything in the universe was running fine before Job was born and when he was no longer there, it would still be running fine. He then understood that God could do anything. To Mary, the angel said that, "With God, nothing is impossible." Even though we do not see it in the King James version, the Greek is nothing but Rhema, so with the true meaning being that, with God no Rhema shall be without power or impossible then we know that the impossibility in the mind is just the frame of the portrait of the miracle that God is about to place in the gallery of his power. Logic and reason are the gravediggers with shovels that would like to bury our inspiration and faith, but the same one that stepped to the mouth of Lazarus' resting place has called us forth to take the napkin off our mouth, and declare his miracles done.

Men that follow the literal and mundane expectation of what they call realism are the bleached bones we pass in the spiritual wilderness. We will always have an oasis of food and water that has allowed the wells of inspiration to flow from our lips. God has shined the light of revelation just beyond us to beckon us to follow into the places he has already created for us but we have never seen. A voice from the throne is saying, "Do not behold the valleys and graves that the liar has tried to sketch into your life. I will take the eraser of grace and cause them to vanish. I will take the permanent brushes of grace and the oils of indelible faith and paint a super highway of the miraculous to my throne. Impossible is not in the vocabulary of heaven."

(Continued)

You say you have no love of the world.

94. Then why are you frustrated by the god of the world's tactics?

95. Don't you know that a little of his leaven will leaven a whole lump?

I have brought you the restoration and placed it inside of you. Allow the reality of faith to surge through your spirit and then will your body follow the lead of that which has already happened. Though doubt applies its final squeeze on your heart; though anxiety applies its final pinch on your nerves; though complexity flashes its final illusion of impossibility; though discouragement's gravity pulls with all its might; though despair looms as a giant falling meteor; though imagination's designer paints its finishing touch of carefully calculated defeat; though the evil sculptor chisels out a statue that represents your life in his hall of fools; though the host of evil assimilates an army of skilled warriors; and though the evil prosecuting attorney of the air presents his evidence of your guilt, look away from all these things to the blood of your lover.

96. Now which one of these things can find you under this holy sanctified blood?
