Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

You are living in the last days. The day of the Lord approaches with speed. There is no time for slumber. The exceeding riches of my grace are given to you, and now all things are possible because of this great grace. Lift your eyes unto me, and trust in me with all your heart. I have not come to destroy men's lives. I have come to save them. This so great salvation is active in the earth today. Salvation is not simply a word in your vocabulary, but salvation is the Lord, your God, living inside of you by the power of the resurrection while he supplies justification, sanctification, and redemption. Look to the blood of the Lamb, and fret not because of the evil report from the accuser of the brethren. I have brought you the report of the blood this morning. It speaks better things than the blood of Abel and all others that have died. Look to me, and behold the mercy of the Lord that I am showing you today. Behold the reflection of mercy. Its reflection is manifesting an image of safety and freedom. Mercy has loosed you from the pains of death and the jaws of the grave.

The Night of the Evening Time

The time is far spent, and the hour of rapture approaches speedily. Though one day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as a day unto me, yet is the time short and a quick work necessary. I will do a quick work in the earth. My heart is burning for my sons of Israel. Jacob's trouble must surely come, and the time of peace must surely depart from the earth. I am the Prince of peace, and I do prepare to lift off the only peace from this earth that I might judge all ungodliness.

The night of the evening time is approaching. These are not idle words entering into your hearing, but these are admonitions from your God. I speak unto you to warn you. As I sent a warning and a way out unto Sodom and Gomorrah, so am I sending forth a warning to you. To the world, I will come as a thief and as a bird caught in a snare. The world and its inhabitants shall be caught in the great tribulation, and my wrath shall be poured out upon them for all their ungodliness. Be sure of your salvation, and make your calling and election sure. I am the Living God, who came as the man Christ Jesus and redeemed you from sin. Do not look back at sin, neither the things of the past, but press toward my mark of righteousness. I have said, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness." Have you sought it with all your heart?

There are doors that you have not discovered in this kingdom. You have walked into the door of righteousness by faith. Continue in righteousness, and you will find many doors that are closed to those who do not walk by faith. Walk on, for there are other doors that you must open. I have brought to you the spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of me. By the spirit of wisdom and of revelation, you shall see the end of all things.

I have not left you to find your way to the end, but I have made you a visionary with seeing eyes. Lift up your head from the pits of this world, and behold the things of the spirit that I do show unto you. I am your light in every dark place. Now lift up your eyes unto the hills of salvation, and behold the scene in the hills. (A vision appeared.)

That is not a drama that you see before your eyes, but it is the gathering of the horses of the tribulation. Come and see, for I do show you that they are prepared to enter into the world. Do not be here in the earth at their coming, for they shall usher in great wrath like this world has never known. Make your calling and election sure.

RE: RHEMA - The Night of the Evening Time

God has the ability to compress time or to extend it. In the world of Joshua, the day was extended for the purpose of victory. God will place in the whirling minutes of time a day of victory at the evening time. We should be convinced that all the shadows of the evening are not of the impending destruction, but some are the approach of the greatest days of the church and the greatest revelation of Jesus Christ that we have ever seen. Night is come, but so is the morning. In the Jewish day, there is the fact that the day was declared as the evening and the morning were the first day. This means that the day ended with them looking into the face the morning. Sodom and Gomorrah could have had another day if Abraham had not stopped with ten. Now the days of judgment are hurtling down on the same sins and arrogance. Night is about to fall on this world and gross darkness on its inhabitants. There are those that we need to take by the hand and lead them out of the cities of sin. Night is surely come, but so is the church that opens doors of deliverance and looks forth as the morning.

APPROACHING RAPTURE AND WRATH

The time is far spent, and the hour of rapture approaches speedily. Though one day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as a day unto God, yet the time is short and a quick work is necessary. The Lord will do a quick work in the earth. His heart is burning for his sons of Israel. Jacob's trouble must surely come, and the time of peace must surely depart from the earth. Jesus is the Prince of peace, and he does prepare to lift off the only peace from this earth that he might judge all ungodliness.

The world and its inhabitants shall be caught in the great tribulation, and his wrath shall be poured out upon them for all their ungodliness. I must be sure of my salvation, and make my calling and election sure.

Jesus is the Living God, who came as the man Christ Jesus and redeemed me from sin. I purpose not to look back at sin, neither the things of the past, but I will press toward God's mark of righteousness. He has said, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness," but I have not sought it with all my heart. There are doors that I have not discovered in this kingdom. I have walked into the door of righteousness by faith. I continue in righteousness, and I will find many doors that are closed to those who do not walk by faith. I will walk on, for there are other doors that I must open. God has brought to me the spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him. By the spirit of wisdom and of revelation, I shall see the end of all things.

I lift up my head from the pits of this world and behold the things of the spirit that God shows unto me. Jesus is my light in every dark place. Now I lift up my eyes unto the hills of salvation, and I behold the scene in the hills in a vision. This is not a drama that I see before my eyes, but it is the gathering of the horses of the tribulation. I will go and see, for God does show me that they are prepared to enter into the world. I elect not to be here in the earth at their coming, for they shall usher in great wrath like this world has never known. I will make my calling and election sure.

RE: RHEMA - Speak Good Tidings of Good, and Publish Salvation Among the People

Purpose in prophetic declaration should drive us like a nail into the sure foundation of the goodness he has destined us to have. Every day there should be beating within, pulse and breath, the song of those liberated from fear or intimidation. We are the treasure that God saw in the earth that he gave all he had to redeem. Our price of redemption cannot be calculated. When I reflect on this price, I am overwhelmed by the value that he has placed in us as his own. We will not sing the sad songs of the world or let the negative choirs and choruses hush into weeping. Our joy has come, and we will declare all the day long. Evil pests would like to dig into the bark of the trees of the planting of the Lord. They would like to deprive us of the hour and gladness that flows from the anointing that has been abundantly poured out in our lives. False imaginations would like to chase us in fear. He stands at the head to the parade of triumphant victory to lead us in its grand march every day.

(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.

143. Is your confidence in me, the invisible God or yourself and the arm of flesh?
