Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

It is my eye that is guiding you; therefore, follow without resistance. Be not as the horse or as the mule that have no understanding, whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle lest the enemy come near unto you. Many sorrows shall be to the wicked, but those who trust in me, mercy shall compass them about. Be glad in the secret place. Be glad in the Lord, your God. Rejoice and shout for joy all you that are upright in your hearts. My goodness endures continually. Abide in my goodness, and behold me silence the tongues of trouble. The tongues of trouble are as a sharp razor unto you. They have worked deceitfully and spoken with sword-like lies. Their devouring words have attempted to slay you. Their deceitful tongues have sought you out, but now the righteous shall see and laugh at them, for you have made me, your God, your strength.

It is his eye that is guiding me; therefore, I follow without resistance. I am not as the horse or as the mule that have no understanding, whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle lest the enemy come near unto me. Many sorrows shall be to the wicked, but those who trust in God, mercy shall compass them about. I am glad in the secret place. I am glad in the Lord, my God. We rejoice and shout for joy all of us that are upright in our hearts. His goodness endures continually. I abide in his goodness, and behold him silence the tongues of trouble. The tongues of trouble are as a sharp razor unto me. They have worked deceitfully and spoken with sword-like lies. Their devouring words have attempted to slay me. Their deceitful tongues have sought me out, but now the righteous shall see and laugh at them, for I have made him, my God, my strength.

The Bright Light of the Walls of Salvation

Today is the day that I have made. Rejoice in this day and be glad. I have made the day for you; therefore, leap for the joy of your salvation. The walls of salvation have come and enjoined themselves unto your life that was fallen down and without any walls for a defense. Now are you within the walls of salvation. Many are outside of these walls, and many shall remain outside of these walls. Go and declare the entrance way into the walls of salvation. I have made a gateway into these walls that was opened by my cross. Open up your mouth, and declare the truth of the gospel, and I will confirm the truth of my name and my way.

The light of this glorious gospel is shining brighter than ever before. Men’s eyes have been dull of sight, but now I do shine my light in the faces of men that they also may see the great light of the last days. Be not hindered by the assumptions that issue forth from your body. The body is only a part of what I am doing. Be not fearful to go and proclaim the gospel in your body, for I reside in you. You are weak, but yet are you strong, for I am the strength within you.

Lift up your head on high, and see the glory of the gospel and my name. This name that I have given you is the name that is above all others. Go and declare the name of Jesus unto the people, and expect the glory of my spirit to come and enjoin itself unto the hearers of the word. Today I will show you my glory.

RE: RHEMA - The Bright Light of the Walls of Salvation

If we have gates of praise, we will have walls of salvation. Praise illuminates the name that is above every other name. Today is more than today. He has made today but in today is the overflow of yesterday and the coming tide of tomorrow. He is the eternal God, and when he makes a day, there is past, present and future blessings in it. We can live in the overflowing blessings inside the strong city of habitation that God has provided for us. We are told that gates need to lift up their heads. We are representative on the gates of the city. We can stand in the door, or we can become a wide open door into the blessing of God for others. We were not sent to hide the light of salvation but to place it on a hill to illuminate the city of Grace that has been built by the Lord in this hour. There were cites of refuge in the days of old. Now, there is a city of Grace for both refuge and healing for the hurting and broken. As we exalt him, there will be an endless parade of those who have found victory through Jesus Christ.

ASSUMPTIONS AND FEAR

Today is the day that the Lord has made. I will rejoice in this day and be glad. He has made the day for me; therefore, I leap for the joy of my salvation. The walls of salvation have come and enjoined themselves unto my life that was fallen down and without any walls for a defense. Now I am within the walls of salvation. Many are outside of these walls, and many shall remain outside of these walls. I will go and declare the entrance way into the walls of salvation. Jesus has made a gateway into these walls that was opened by his cross. I will open up my mouth and declare the truth of the gospel, and Jesus will confirm the truth of his name and his way.

I will not be fearful to go and proclaim the gospel in my body, for Jesus resides in me. I am weak, but yet I am strong, for he is the strength within me.

I lift up my head on high and see the glory of the gospel and Jesus name. This name that he has given me is the name that is above all others.

INSPIRATION

By Don Grigsby

RE: RHEMA: By the Spirit of Prophecy, Speak of the Glory of God’s Kingdom and His Power

Prophecy lifts its voice above the clamor of confusion no matter how complex it becomes. New Testament energized prophecy comes to testify for us and not against us. Wrath and judgment have been buried by the faithful witness who prosecuted our sin in himself and paid the debt in full. Paradoxes of power proceed from the pulpit of the prophet. Dying is living. Giving is receiving. What sin has turned upside down, the Spirit has turned right side up. A new generation that has not been brain washed by the teachings of man will receive a kingdom and harvest unheard of before. Power that penetrates to the core of hell shall cascade from their mouth.

If loaves and fishes could talk, they would shout the greatness of God. We have a mouth and that is all we need to engage the creative energy of God that needs no other earthly ability. Let us cease to take inventory of our empty boxes, and God will fill them with all the things that we think do not exist. God will not be held hostage by any man. As we fall before him in thanksgiving and praise, we can be broken and fashioned into the vessel that holds the treasure that seemed but grains of sand a few minutes before.

Spiritual minds flow from the heavens down into this life. They will never flow from here to the throne. Our ideas will never adjust to our measure of the greatness of God. How large a portion will he give to his children who will not measure him?

He will speak volumes to those who will not define him. Many will be affected by the division caused by the sword of Rhema. Their mind set has so limited God that they feel they will only follow after what they feel safe with. His prophecy will push us out of our comfort zones. As God allowed false teachers to arise in apostolic times, false teachers will to try to dismantle the work that God is putting together today. Their resistance will fail and be made obvious before all who listen to them. Their words ring so hollow that they will be as the wind of the desert.

What men has put down, God has lifted up. All the things that others would trample under foot will be set on a throne. God will loose his armory against the false bands of those who would try to prey upon the faith of his children. Faith will triumph in those who hear his words. Men's words will become toxic destruction to those who help put out their propaganda. All the traps and snares that have been set to defame the truth will lie broken in the valley of their shame.

(Continued)

Unless you buy into the fellowship of my sufferings, you shall inherit the empty chambers of bewilderment where only my voice speaks to declare, “I never knew you.” Buy the garment in your hands and do not return it to the bin of fear and doubt. Buy the garment in your hands and wear the beautiful attire of golden flared humility, and then will your acceptance of spiritual gifts be handled and used in love and not in pride and selfishness.

158. Do you have ears?

159. Then hear. I am speaking, but are you really listening?
