Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

Do not give out now. Do not be weary. Well-doing is a friend. Well-doing shall produce a harvest for you that you cannot imagine or dream. Lift up your head from the difficulties of the road ahead. Easy paths do not bring tenacity and hardness. I am building soldiers not soft men. Endure the hardness as a good soldier, and then will you eat the benefits of the strength imparted by your God. Keep going. I am with you to the end.

(RHEMA: Our Captain Knows Where He Is Going In the Voyage Across the Stormy Sea)

I will not give out now. I will not be weary. Well-doing is a friend. Well-doing shall produce a harvest for me that I cannot imagine or dream. I lift up my head from the difficulties of the road ahead. Easy paths do not bring tenacity and hardness. The Lord is building soldiers, not soft men. I will endure the hardness as a good soldier, and now will I eat the benefits of the strength imparted by my God. I will keep going. He is with me to the end.

The Lord Will See You Through the Stormy Sea

(Part 7)

Come from the altar of redemption and enter into the presence of the Voice of your day. I am Adam’s voice walking in the garden. I am your voice walking in the garden of the last days. This garden is not a garden of humanism, but it is the restored heavenly Eden for the children of God. I am walking with you. Now look upon me and not on your troubles. I am all that you need. I am all that you need. When all have forsaken you, I am enough. This stormy weather was created that you might learn that I am all that you need. All you need is the Eternal Source of all things. All things were made by me, and without me, was not anything made that was made. Now I make a way for you. Only believe that the magnitude of the storm, the velocity of the storm, the strength of the storm, and all the difficulties in the storm shall help you in the future to determine: Who? What? How many can be against you?

I am for you. If you have never had a host to chase you, then how will you know that I am greater than the host and for you?

You have read about me being against armies for others, but what do you believe me to be when a host is against you?

I am the same and no respecter of persons. I am for you. Now who can be against you?

Do not give out now. Do not be weary. “Well-doing” is a friend. “Well-doing” shall produce a harvest for you that you cannot imagine, nor dream. Lift up your head from the difficulties of the road ahead. Easy paths do not bring tenacity and hardness. I am building soldiers, not soft men. Endure the hardness as a good soldier then will you eat the benefits of the strength imparted by your God. Keep going. I am with you to the end.

RE: RHEMA - The Lord Will See You Through the Stormy Sea

God made the seas and all that are in them. Man with his pollution and experimentation can cause to mutate or be fashioned the monsters and freaks of nature that we behold. We many times create our own fears and troubles, but the Lord delivers us out of them all. Much of the New Testament details the ability of Jesus to walk on the stormy waves, still the storm, and cause the ship to be on the other side, and the fish to get in the nets. Everything that there was about the sea he controlled. It did not stop the disciples from encountering the storms and difficulties. He just made sure that they could know that he would not leave them at the mercy of the wind and rain. God controlled the Jordan river and the red sea in the Old Testament. The flood of Noah fulfilled his word. Leprosy was cleansed in the Jordan. Bitter waters were made sweet and the iron that sank did swim. Since water covers more of the earth than the land, it speaks of the most numerous problems of impossibility that we will meet. We are told also that the glory of the Lord will cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. When the floods clap their hands, I believe that it is the ocean participating in the fulfillment of all God's word. When God made an ordinance for the seas to only come in so far we can see its certainty daily in the tides. We may be living at the flood tide of time, but the Lord still controls the tides. If he says we are going to the other side, then we are going to the other side. The promises he has placed in the arc that preserves us personally like Moses in the river of Egypt will bring us to the prosperity of the throne. Stormy seas are not the scourges of our destruction. Stormy seas are the covenant of our security in his arms. In the book of Psalms, the writer says it well. He raises up the stormy wind. They cry to the Lord at their wit's end and the Lord brings them into their desired haven.

A SPIRITUAL STORM

(Part 7)

I come from the altar of redemption and enter into the presence of the Voice of my day. He is Adam’s voice walking in the garden. He is my voice walking in the garden of the last days. This garden is not a garden of humanism, but it is the restored heavenly Eden for the children of God. He is walking with me. Now I look upon him and not on my troubles. He is all that I need. He is all that I need. When all have forsaken me, God is enough. This stormy weather was created that I might learn that he is all that I need. All I need is the Eternal Source of all things. All things were made by him, and without him, was not any thing made that was made. Now he makes a way for me. I believe the magnitude of the storm, the velocity of the storm, the strength of the storm, and all the difficulties in the storm shall help me in the future to determine: Who? What? How many can be against me?

The Lord is for me. If I have never had a host to chase me, then I would not know that God is greater than the host and for me. I have read about him being against armies for others, and I know and believe that is for me when a host is against me. He is the same and no respecter of persons. He is for me. Now no one can be against me. I will not give out now. I will not be weary. “Well-doing” is a friend. “Well-doing” shall produce a harvest for me that I cannot imagine, nor dream. I lift up my head from the difficulties of the road ahead. Easy paths do not bring tenacity and hardness. He is building soldiers, not soft men. I endure the hardness as a good soldier and then will I eat the benefits of the strength imparted by my God. I will keep going. He is with me to the end.

INSPIRATION

RE: RHEMA - Though the Storms Keep Raging and the Winds Keep Blowing, Your Soul Is Anchored In the Lord - Part 1

In the New Testament, the disciples were in storms twice in their following the Savior. One was a time when the Lord was asleep in the ship, and the ship filled with water as the wind and waves raged. They came to him and inquired to know whether he cared that they perished or not. This is one of the most groundless questions that they could have ever asked. He loved them so much that he came when nobody asked. He would have never let that ship go down. We must remember that when the pressure is great, we are prone to ask the same kind of questions. He did ask them, "Why is it that you have no faith?" He had already done many miracles before them. We fall into the same trap of having a short memory of his miracles in our lives when we cease to be continually thankful every day. All the Old Testament writers, when they felt the desperateness of their situation, remembered his works of old and put these as the lens of looking at their problems of today. We have stated many times that he is the same yesterday, today, and forever, but we have failed to take that into the eternal fourth dimension that exists in today. The eternity of today will swallow up the short bytes of trouble of today. Let us put on the rain gear of faith and stand firm against the rain.

(Continued)

There is nothing truly spiritual in the world. All is vanity and foolish. The acts of the world are mere distractions and entertainment for the fallen angels of the darkness. Do not be a character in their dramas of death. The prince of the power of the air works to include you in his amusement that you may be on the diet of death itself. Do not allow the trumpets of death to play taps for you, but tune your senses to the voice of the Lord. I shall descend with the voice of an archangel and my voice shall be heard by those who love my appearing.

417. How will you love my appearing if you find my commandments grievous?

I have said seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness; therefore, cease your search for success and fame, then will all the things that I desire to send you become yours by the hand of multiplication. Success in Christ Jesus is not obtained as success is awarded to the worshippers of the gods of the world. You will stumble in the day if your faith is in self and human ability.

418. Will you use human ability against principalities and powers of the regions of the darkness of this world?
