Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

Many trust in the abundance of their own riches. They strengthen themselves in their own wickedness. In the house of God, you are like a green olive tree, for you trust in the mercy of God. In the house of God, I attend unto your prayers. Even when your heart is overwhelmed, you have the Rock that is higher than you are. I am a shelter for you, a strong tower from the enemy. Abide in my tabernacle, and trust in the cover of my wings. Become acquainted with your heritage. Those who fear my name have a heritage. Behold mercy and truth that preserve those who have this heritage.

(RHEMA: Preserved by Mercy and Truth Inside the Door of Mystery)

I will behold mercy and truth that preserves those who have this heritage.

The Eternal Voice of Justification Speaks Against the Temporal Voice of Despair

I have not summoned you to the judgment seat of condemnation, neither have I ushered you into the presence of defeat and degradation, but I have brought you before my throne of grace and placed the helmet of salvation upon you. This helmet is strong enough to resist all of the weapons of your enemy. Your mind is protected by the power of my blood and my finished works at Calvary. I have established lines of separation and pushed back the darkness from your mind. The power of my peace is yours. Though the tormentor rages and accuses you from his fallen down throne, do not be alarmed or dismayed by his words. The accuser of the brethren points his finger every day and every night, yet justification has voiced its reality once and forever.

The words that were spoken by Justification cannot be annulled; neither can these words be altered. My covenant has been made and now there remaineth no other to enforce another covenant. I have given you access into my presence by a holy way and a new way. This way cannot be shut off or closed by the spirits of condemnation. Be freed in your mind from all guilt, and allow the freshness of my blood to rule in your mind. The blood has been applied to your life today and now you are freed from the rule of condemnation and defeat. Despair searches to find a foundation for its expression. It searches for a platform to speak from that it might bring you down to the level of the paupers of the age, but I have closed off the avenues of despair and opened up a new way into the presence of peace. The world does not know peace, neither can they know it. I have given you the peace that passes all understanding. Walk and grow in the peace of God.

RE: RHEMA - The Eternal Voice of Justification Speaks Against the Temporal Voice of Despair

None of the courts of this world have any jurisdiction is our case. Heaven is the only court that has the any authority in our lives. We have a faithful witness in his blood, and he is the Righteous Judge. He is our Counselor and has destroyed all the evidence against us when he nailed it to the cross. Other voices of accusation may rise against us, but his mighty voice that always has the last word has declared us to be not guilty. Condemnation cannot sit in this court room. Our court room now is to receive and execute the rulings of judgment against the devil and sin. Our protection is better than bullet proof vests for those in the witness protection program. Ours is not a program but the power of the prophet to call down fire and consume the forces that other domains send against us. Peace has spoken, and it cannot be annulled by any other authority. We will not be frightened by the baseless ruling of darkness. Depression and defeat are not witnesses that will ever be heard before the Lord. He has already proved their appeals false. Despair will never have a stage to stand on. It has received its eviction notice at the cross.

CONDEMNATION, DEFEAT, DEGRADATION, AND DESPAIR

INSPIRATION

RE: RHEMA - Grace Lifts Us To the Higher Dimensions of the Mind of Christ

Grace is the economy of the universe, where things and galaxies disappear. They are created all over again in another dimension in a grander manner. We look at the small things and have the wrong appraisal value because in quantum mechanics, the smaller the particle, the greater the energy packed inside. God, in his grace, never deals with a problem in the dimension it is in. He always takes it higher into another dimension to solve it. We are his treasure in the earth, and his inheritance is in us constantly in DNA form spiritually. Eternal deposits of riches, we do not perceive, are constantly coming to abide in our lives by the wealth of grace. Our attention may be diverted from spiritual things to earthly concerns because we have the tendency to be affected by the things that try to smother us daily. Our God is the breath of fresh life that blows away the smog of confusion and gives a clear perspective of all that he has laid before us in chamber after chamber of untold blessings and power. Ambiguous terms try to invade our minds and concerns, but the unleashing of his power will show us clearly that it is not within us, but the completeness of all things is in him. We will not abide under the clouds of doubt. The cloud went away as the law set in the sunset, and the bright and morning Star arose in our hearts in Grace.

(Continued)

Behold the wonder of my grace working on your behalf. This grace is working exceedingly abundantly more than you have ever imagined. I am not persuaded to be against you because of your failures. I know the frailty of your humanity, and I understand your reasoning. Do not lean to the reasoning of your mind, for your mind can never figure out the answers that you need. I have not forgotten my promises to you. I have not relinquished you to yourself because of your temporary carnality. I have beheld you in the future serving me with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength.

160. Shall I destroy that which I know will serve me in spirit and in truth if grace supplies the sufficiency?

Many miracles have been manifested in your life in the last few months. These things were not incidents without a designer. I designed and authored all of the things that have happened for my own glory and for my name’s sake. Lift your eyes from the things that are beyond your human understanding. It is futile to worry about the outcome of things that you do not understand. Simply trust in me. I am love. Love has not planned bad things for you. All things are working together for your good. You are called according to my purpose.

161. Do you love me?
