Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

I will not cast off my people. They are my inheritance, and I am their help. Your soul is dwelling in silence today. You have looked backward and beheld how your foot was slipping. Behold how my mercy held you up, and my voice of comfort delighted your soul. It is evening time. I have given rest in the light of the evening. As an animal that has labored hard, I give you a space in my green pastures; therefore, submit to my constraining love, and lie down to rest awhile in new pastures of peace. Look away from the battle, and look unto the victory already won by your burden-bearer.

(RHEMA: The Yoke of Love Maneuvers You In the Paths of Peace and Victory)

The Lord will not cast off his people. They are his inheritance, and he is our help. My soul is dwelling in silence today. I have looked backward and beheld how my foot was slipping. I behold how the Lord's mercy held me up, and his voice of comfort delighted my soul. It is evening time. God has given rest in the light of the evening. As an animal that has labored hard, he has given me a space in his green pastures; therefore, I submit to his constraining love and lie down to rest awhile in new pastures of peace. I look away from the battle and look unto the victory already won by my burden-bearer.

The Power of God Is Not Limited by the Spirits of the Age

Let not your heart be troubled. Though the earth be filled with violence and the way of the wicked seem prosperous, I will manifest my glory in the presence of all this. Lift your eyes unto the Finisher of your faith. I have not started a good work to end in a bad work. Hope maketh not ashamed. Go and learn of the true faith of the father Abraham. Know of a truth, that I have not allowed you to come to this point in redemption to allow the force of the curse to flood your life. I have brought you out of bondage and into light that is marvelous. Lift your eyes from the pit of voices that beckon your faith. Lift your eyes from these things, for these things have no power over you. Though they threaten you, they cannot enforce their threats; therefore, lift up the voices of praise in the sanctuary and in your temple. Now let all speak of my power, and speak of my glory. My glory is filling every appointed place. Do not allow the strange spirits of the age to intimidate you, but abound over these things in thanksgiving. Allow your legs to leap with the expression of the mountain creatures. I have given you power and that power is not limited by the spirits of the age, but my power is greater than all power of the enemy. Come from your corners of fear. Come from your pits of depression. Come from your wayward journeys. Come from your distressful human efforts. Come from your self-willed employment by the enemy. Come to me. I have rest for you. Enter into my rest, and I will show you my works.

RE: RHEMA - The Power of God Is Not Limited by the Spirits of the Age

"Greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world" is not a trite expression. It is just as fresh as the day it was spoken. Our culture and times are immersed in the spirits of the enemy that are permeating everything that is around. His kingdom is not of this world. Its power base is above all the confusion that clouds the horizon daily. Current trends and fashion do not affect that which is eternal. Everything here on earth and in our time is temporary. We are not looking at the seen things of the natural but at the unseen eternal power of the Almighty. We are not the hostages of the spirits of depression and negativism of this day. We have been delivered by everlasting joy that is not limited by circumstances. Ever flowing in us it fountain that the drain holes of this age can never compare to. We will arise every morning with joy in our hearts and faith filled eyes and look beyond the smog of the spirits of this age. Our eyes have seen the King of Kings! We will begin the celebration of victory ahead of time in the face of all the enemy.

THREATS

I purpose not to let my heart be troubled. Though the earth be filled with violence and the way of the wicked seem prosperous, the Lord will manifest his glory in the presence of all this. I lift my eyes unto the Finisher of my faith. He has not started a good work to end in a bad work. Hope maketh not ashamed. I will go and learn of the true faith of the father Abraham. I know of a truth, that God has not allowed me to come to this point in redemption to allow the force of the curse to flood my life. He has brought me out of bondage and into light that is marvelous. I lift my eyes from the pit of voices that beckon my faith. I lift my eyes from these things, for these things have no power over me. Though they threaten me, they cannot enforce their threats; therefore, I will lift up the voices of praise in the sanctuary and in my temple. Now let all speak of God's power, and speak of his glory. His glory is filling every appointed place. I do not allow the strange spirits of the age to intimidate me, but I abound over these things in thanksgiving. I allow my legs to leap with the expression of the mountain creatures. God has given me power and that power is not limited by the spirits of the age, but his power is greater than all power of the enemy. I come from my corners of fear. I come from my pits of depression. I come from my wayward journeys. I come from my distressful human efforts. I come from my self-willed employment by the enemy. I come to Jesus. He has rest for me. I enter into his rest, and he will show me his works.

INSPIRATION

RE: RHEMA - A Renewed Love Is Given, and Now Faith Is Worked by a Restored Force

God abideth faithful. If some deny him, he cannot deny himself. In doing this, he will never unlove or unlamb himself. He will never say that Calvary was not what he should have done. Faith worketh by love, so intensified relationships puts faith on a fast track in our lives. Our adversary is so subtle that many allow him to pervert our faith by allowing improper attitudes to get us all bent out of shape about trivial things. Many cannot believe God because there are hidden, lingering sicknesses or injuries that are internal that have never been healed. Anger and unforgiving spirits have carved out festering wounds and holes in their spirits that cannot retain the blessing of God until they reach the parking lot. A new day of healing, with pastors after his heart, to heal and deliver from these spiritual syndromes unto complete victorious faith has come.

Yield your will and affections to me. Humbly rely on me for salvation from whatever shall be. Be careful, for many are turned unto unbelief and fear already. Apprehend your thoughts, and conclude that I am in total control of the future.

22. Am I your Lord?

Diligently seek me, the God of answers, and cease consuming yourself with seeking the why's and how's. The time spent on investigation involved in finding this solution and that solution should have been spent in winning the lost. Many have spent months seeking to preserve their lives while lost souls have thrust themselves into damnation without faithful witnesses.

23. What have you profited by seeking to save your own lives while those who need salvation are perishing?

24. Why are you here?

25. Why did I come?

26. Has my purpose changed because of unusual circumstances and uncertain things?
