Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

Look out of the window of love, and behold the thousands falling by the side of the righteous. Behold the tens of thousands falling by the right hand of the just. Look at your side. Behold the secret atmosphere all about you. Remain here, and nothing evil will come nigh you. Only with your eyes will you behold and see the reward of the wicked. You have made me your refuge and your habitation.

Where is the evil that threatened to befall you?

Where is the plague that sought to come nigh your dwelling?

You have entered the secret place, and angels attend unto you because I have given them charge over you to keep you in all your ways. Behold the hands of the angels. They have power to bear you up in their hands and prevent the dashing of your feet against the stones of trouble. Rise up in praise, and tread upon the lions and serpents. Rise up in praise, and trample the lions and dragons under your feet. I have set my love upon you. You know my name and called upon it; therefore, have I delivered you. In trouble, I was with you. Now behold the peace beyond understanding and trouble. Herein is the power of my salvation. Shout: THE SECRET PLACE, THE SECRET PLACE, THE SECRET PLACE.

(RHEMA: The Refuge and Fortress In the Sanctuary of Love)

I look out of the window of love, and behold the thousands falling by the side of the righteous. I behold the tens of thousands falling by the right hand of the just. I look at my side. I behold the secret atmosphere all about me. I remain here, and nothing evil will come nigh me. Only with my eyes will I behold and see the reward of the wicked. I have made the Lord my refuge and my habitation. The evil that threatened to befall me cannot be found. The plague that sought to come nigh my dwelling has passed over. I have entered the secret place, and angels attend unto me because he has given them charge over me to keep me in all my ways. I behold the hands of the angels. They have power to bear me up in their hands and prevent the dashing of my feet against the stones of trouble. I rise up in praise, and tread upon the lions and serpents. I rise up in praise, and trample the lions and dragons under my feet. He has set his love upon me. I know his name and I called upon it; therefore, has he delivered me. In trouble, he was with me. Now I behold the peace beyond understanding and trouble. Herein is the power of his salvation. I shout: THE SECRET PLACE, THE SECRET PLACE, THE SECRET PLACE.

The Effect of the Living Spirit

You are the light of this world. Do not hide your light under the bushels of the age, for I must shine in you. You cannot be hidden any longer, for the hour has approached for my manifestation of the good things and the glad tidings of the gospel. You say that good things and glad tidings have already come, but I say, ”You have only seen and known in a measure. The measure that I have designed has not been seen.” Allow me to remove the bushel that covers you and then shall you see the manifestation of the power of the gospel.

Good news is within you. Glad tidings are waiting to usher from within you. I am the Christ within you, the hope of glory. Allow me to express the hope that I am today and then shall you see the redeemed flourish as new plants. You shall see the lost exit from their prison houses. You shall see the sick come forth healed and those who are bound shall be loosed.

I desire to do a work in your midst that you would never believe. Allow me to work a wonder in you and through you then will you truly know of my faithfulness to express the power of the resurrection. I am the resurrection and the life. There is no dead thing that I touch that shall not live. I will make the people live today. Allow the free flowing of my spirit to work and then shall you know of the power of the resurrection that is in you. I am in you to do a work, a work that you would not believe. No, not even if a preacher told you. My new thing is already being done in the earth. Allow it to be done in you. By my spirit, I desire to speak unto the people. The message is already in your heart. The desires of my spirit are already in you. The desires of my Holy Spirit are already in you unto the working of miracles and of all that I have said that I would do.

My word has already worked on the things that I sent it unto. My word has gone out among the people, and now it has come back to me to show forth that which I have done. As Lazarus came forth loosed from the jaws of death, so has my word gone forth and loosed the people from their bondage. Grace has been given to them for this space, and now bondage has no part with them. I have placed the tongue of the redeemed in your mouth. The light of my word is in you. Now open your mouth wide, and I will fill it with inspiration that you have not heard. I am the light within you. It is the hour in which I do show that what you have received in prayer and at this computer can also come forth from the same fountain while you preach. Prepare your mind for that which I will do, for I will speak a word in due season through your lips. Believe on me as the scriptures have declared of me and know that I will bring forth that which is needed by my spirit.

RE: RHEMA - The Effect of the Living Spirit

God's measureless Spirit will give us a measure that will break every mold and crush every limitation. Lazarus is the type of the power of the Spirit that will dawn on the true believers in the last day. Apostles in a boat wondered in a boat in the full blast of nature at what kind of man could command the laws of nature to obey him. In the last days, the Spirit that moved on the face of the deep will bring about the day of demonstration that we never thought was possible. Phenomenal events were the common things of life in the ministry of Jesus Christ. He has told us that we would do greater works than these. We will see this come to pass in the last days. If God gave his people billions of quail in their lust, what will he do in the full measure of the dimensions of righteous requests? In one of our recent prison meetings, the Lord spoke and said, "You are thrilled at the deliverance of Peter, Paul, and Silas from the prison, but I will, by my Spirit, deliver even the unrighteous to righteousness for my name's sake. It will not be for them to have a liberty to sin but for the liberty of my Spirit to be manifested to the world that does not believe that I am changing the convict into conquerors." We should tear the limits off our minds and imaginations for the expanse of what God is about to do by his Spirit is beyond us but has come to us.

DOUBT, FEAR, AND UNBELIEF

I am the light of this world. I will not hide my light under the bushels of the age, for Jesus must shine in me. I cannot be hidden any longer, for the hour has approached for his manifestation of the good things and the glad tidings of the gospel. I say that good things and glad tidings have already come, but the Lord says, “You have only seen and known in a measure. The measure that I have designed has not been seen.” I allow God to remove the bushel that covers me and then shall I see the manifestation of the power of the gospel.

I shall see the sick come forth healed, and those who are bound shall be loosed.

The Lord desires to do a work in our midst that I would never believe. I will allow him to work a wonder in me and through me and then will I truly know of his faithfulness to express the power of the resurrection. Jesus is the resurrection and the life. There is no dead thing that he touches that shall not live. He will make the people live today. I allow the free flowing of his spirit to work and then shall I know of the power of the resurrection that is in me. He is in me to do a work, a work that I would not believe.

God’s word has already worked on the things that he sent it unto. His word has gone out among the people, and now it has come back to him to show forth that which he has done.

INSPIRATION

RE: RHEMA - Rhema, the Living Bread, Is the Diet of the Conqueror

Set before us is a table that is overflowing in the wilderness and in the presence of our enemies. When all the stores of this world are in famine distress, God has spoken into existence in our hearts the feast of kings and priests. Many religious forms have not even the food value of junk food; whereas, God's words have all the provision that will last forever. Systems and traditions turn up their nose at Rhema meals, and they get food poisoning from the molded messages of the past that have no wholesomeness in them at all. As Elijah ate and was sustained miraculously, his prophets may be pushed aside by the religious crowds, but the prophets will be fatter and fairer than the best diets of men. Eventually, all the other diets of yesterday's traditional sermons will turn into the horse's heads and dove's dung of the siege mentality. We are on the offense, and we will never cease to declare his faithful words of creative power.

(Continued)

You have been brought nigh by the blood of Christ, and now sit at the table of the children and eat of my bread, which is heavenly. Those of you who need healing, my bread is your healing, for I sent my word and healed you. To the cast down, my head was cast down that your head could be lifted up. To the down trodden, I was trampled under foot by the bulls of Bashan, so that you might tread upon lions and adders and know of the security that is in the resurrection. To the sorrowful, I was a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. Your sorrows and your griefs, I did bear. Now bear the present sorrow no longer and do not grieve because of the past and present pains, but come unto the faith of the cross that I did bear and have your sorrow turned to joy. I will turn your grief unto pleasantness.

155. O cast down souls. Why are you cast down in the presence of the lifter of the heads?

I have not made a mistake in selecting you. I comprehend all things. Now have I allowed the light of understanding to shine into your heart and bring you the proper knowledge of God. Though you sit in the shadows of misunderstanding and the pains brought on by the blunders of others, be assured that I understand all that is happening. If you are going on with me, then you must not tabernacle these monuments that you have erected at each scene of despair and mistreatment. To be mistreated is not the end of life. Your sensitivity is not good, but you should be insensitive to all these things. If you continue to be sensitive to the wrong done to you, then you will be arrested by these things.

156. How can a heart encompassed by unforgiveness and self-justification be free to understand others?
