Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

Come I am sending you a message of deliverance and hope today. Receive the precious promises of liberty today. It is time to possess the things promised you rather than making the journey with flesh to conquer earthly kingdoms. If my kingdom were of this world, I would fight and win it back. My kingdom is not of this world. If you seek to conquer earthly kingdoms, you will be as Nimrod. I have not sent you to build earthly desires, but I have sent you to seek and find those who are lost. While your minds are obsessed with earthly things, the lost lie at your feet dead in trespasses and sins. In your heart, you possess the words of life that will make them live. Speak the word of faith in your hearts, and declare the freedom of my blood in the ears of the dead. As I scattered the people at the Tower of Babel, I am gathering the people unto Christ. I am not babbling, but I am proclaiming the glorious words of hope and salvation. Be not dismayed by the world of confusion all about you, but be confident of the truth that is in you. I have placed my body, the church, in the midst of a wicked and perverse generation. Though you view yourselves helpless, view me as your help. Consider not your own bodies and your own abilities. Be strong in faith, and give total glory to me.

(RHEMA: Consider the Lord In All Things, View Him As Your Help, and Speak the Word of Faith)

The Lord is sending me a message of deliverance and hope today. I receive the precious promises of liberty today. It is time to possess the things promised me rather than making the journey with flesh to conquer earthly kingdoms. If God's kingdom were of this world, he would fight and win it back. His kingdom is not of this world. If I seek to conquer earthly kingdoms, I will be as Nimrod. God has not sent me to build earthly desires, but he sent me to seek and find those who are lost. While our minds are obsessed with earthly things, the lost lie at our feet dead in trespasses and sins. In my heart, I possess the words of life that will make them live. We will speak the word of faith in our hearts, and declare the freedom of Jesus' blood in the ears of the dead. As God scattered the people at the Tower of Babel, he is gathering the people unto Christ. Jesus is not babbling, but he is proclaiming the glorious words of hope and salvation. I will not be dismayed by the world of confusion all about me, but I will be confident of the truth that is in me. God placed his body, the church, in the midst of a wicked and perverse generation. Though we view ourselves helpless, we view Jesus as our help. We will not consider our own bodies and our own abilities. We will be strong in faith, and give total glory to God.

The Star Approaches With Sufficient Redemption

The day of the Lord shall come as a thief in the night upon those who do not know me and those who do not love my appearing. Arm yourself with the mind of Christ so that you are not found with a love for the world in your heart. If anyone loves the world, then my love is not in them. All that is in the world is the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of this life, which is not of the Father but is of the world. You must choose whom you will serve. I am the Master of redemption and the Prince of the kings of the earth. The Day Star has approached your house with plenteous redemption, and now there is no avenue for sin that leads to your door. All avenues are cut off because of redemption. Let us go on unto the Day Star and the catching away of the Lamb's wife.

RE: RHEMA - The Star Approaches With Sufficient Redemption

Every good and perfect gift comes down from the Father of lights. There is no shadow or eclipse of his greatness. Stars create their own gravity; therefore, if the Day Star has arisen in our hearts then, he has released us from the pull of this world and the lusts of this present world. Our redemption not only draweth near but the One who is the author and finisher of our faith will complete his work in us. He will preserve us blameless, body, soul, and spirit until he comes. Sin is a trespasser on the streets of redemption. It will be arrested by the blood to the cross.

SIN AND WORLDLINESS

The day of the Lord shall come as a thief in the night upon those who do not know him and those who do not love his appearing. I arm myself with the mind of Christ so that I am not found with a love for the world in my heart. If anyone loves the world, then God's love is not in them. All that is in the world is the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of this life, which is not of the Father but is of the world. I must choose whom I will serve. Jesus is the Master of redemption and the Prince of the kings of the earth. The Day Star has approached my house with plenteous redemption, and now there is no avenue for sin that leads to my door. All avenues are cut off because of redemption. I purpose to go on unto the Day Star and the catching away of the Lamb's wife.

INSPIRATION

RE: RHEMA - The Size of the Miracle Is Never Bigger Than Our God

Old Testament believers were exhorted to underline the magnitude of his greatness. In the Psalms, the Hebrew word for greatness means to be multiplied by myriads or millions. When you multiply the greatest entity in all creation, that it cannot even contain, by millions, the degree of greatness is beyond any word or measure that we can express. Particles that are below atomic size are filled with the greatest powers known to man. When we understand that massive objects are filled with such subatomic particles that are unseen to the eye and yet filled with enough power to annihilate the massive object, then the Spirit of the Almighty that we cannot see is truly able to do the exceeding beyond our stretched abilities to grasp. Our need is his desire to fulfill. He has, by his grace, given us all things freely. He will never hold us hostage over the degree of difficulty of the need or the failures that may be going on in our lives at the same time. When we are weak, he is strong to supply!

(Continued)

The counsel of wickedness awaits the time to rejoice at your failure and defeat. They wait anxiously to hear the reading of the verdict from on high of your fall and judgment. They have read their accusations to me and plead for judgment upon your life for wrong doings and failure. They have cried in my ears,"Will the judge of the entire earth not do right?" I have sent forth the declaration of forgiveness into the earth. The testimony of my blood will not be retracted. I have sought you to offer you mercy and goodness, yet the trail of the devourer has not been washed away. The enemy awaits your total defeat and will not settle for anything less. It wants to be rid of you that it might run rampant in the earth without the hindrances from the word of the Lord in a fresh state.

134. Where is your hope?

135. Is your hope in your success, or is your hope built upon the foundation of my righteousness and not your own?
