Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

I am God, and there is no God besides me. I am able to keep you from falling and to present you faultless before the presence of my glory with exceeding, great joy. I am the only wise God, the Savior. Give me glory, and rejoice greatly. Disregard the heaviness that you are experiencing. These heavy things are only for a season. You are in the trial of your faith, which is much more precious than of gold that perisheth. Gold is tried with fire and so are you. Allow this trial to be found unto praise, honor, and glory. Believe my word, and rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory. At the end of this trial, you shall receive the end of your faith even the salvation of your soul. I know the way that you take, and I am trying you. When you come forth, you shall be as gold. Place your hand in my hand. Do not go back from the commandment of my lips. Esteem the words of my mouth more than your necessary food. I am giving you a soft heart in this time of trial and tribulation. The tribulations of the hour are working patience in your life that you may have virtue to possess your soul. When you have allowed patience to have her perfect work in you, then will you be a vessel ready for mighty experiences in me to be added unto your life.

(RHEMA: Tribulation Is Working Patience)

Jesus is God, and there is no God besides him. He is able to keep me from falling and to present me faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding, great joy. He is the only wise God, the Savior. I will give him glory and rejoice greatly. I disregard the heaviness that I am experiencing. These heavy things are only for a season. I am in the trial of my faith, which is much more precious than of gold that perisheth. Gold is tried with fire and so am I. I purpose to allow this trial to be found unto praise, honor, and glory. I believe God's word and rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory. At the end of this trial, I shall receive the end of my faith even the salvation of my soul. God knows the way that I take, and he is trying me. When I come forth, I shall be as gold. I will place my hand in his hand. I will not go back from the commandment of his lips. I will esteem the words of his mouth more than my necessary food. He is giving me a soft heart in this time of trial and tribulation. The tribulations of the hour are working patience in my life that I may have virtue to possess my soul. When I have allowed patience to have her perfect work in me, then will I be a vessel ready for mighty experiences in God to be added unto my life.

Humble Yourselves As Christ Humbled Himself, and Become Obedient Unto Death

Beware of philosophies that are sent forth to spoil you. Vain deceit is all about you. This deceit is not after Christ. In Christ, dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily, and you are complete in him. Christ is the head of all principality and power. He spoiled principalities and powers. He made a show of them openly as he triumphed over every one of them. I am not the author of confusion. This confusion is not of me. It is a distraction. Do not be carried away with this madness, for it will alienate you from me if you are taken by it. The spirit of antichrist already takes many. Beware, lest you are pulled away after another Jesus. This spirit lies in wait. Let the mind that was in Christ Jesus be in you. He made himself of no reputation, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God, for in the beginning, was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The Word was made flesh. You are flesh; therefore, humble yourself as he did, and become obedient unto death. Only the humble in heart and mind can be free of distraction while they attend upon me. Attend unto me as one who is espoused unto me. Be focused on me that you do not behold the masked Christ of the hour. There are many Christs in disguises. Only by knowledge of me, will you escape the antichrist that comes with chief subtlety. Only by my voice, will I be known by my people, for my sheep hear my voice. I know them, and they follow me.

Have you ever seen me?

Do you know my voice?

Then follow me, and be not distracted with those who are intruding into those things that they have not seen, vainly puffed up by their fleshly mind. Hold fast to me, the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands, having nourishment, ministered and knit together, increases with the increase of God. If you are my sheep, then come and follow me. Be about the Father's business, feed my lambs, and win the lost. Feed my sheep, and be not distracted by the issues of the hour. Do not take up the wars among brethren as to who I am. If you bite and devour one another, you will be consumed one of another. If you know my voice, then you know me and who I am. Come and follow me.

RHEMA - Humble Yourselves As Christ Humbled Himself, and Become Obedient Unto Death

Cultural centers of learning put pride and self sufficiency on a pedestal. Any type of self abasement is taught as a sign of weakness. Honesty is not the strength of sin. Only by humbling ourselves will we be exalted. God will always resist the proud but gives grace to the humble. Humbling ourselves never involves our wearing a sign for others to see. It is a result of the right attitude and spirit toward God and others. We are sons to God and servants to everyone. He came not to be served but to serve. Jesus Christ became of no reputation, and we should not be afraid of ours. If God honors us, it is still his honor. We are absolutely nothing without his help. The more vacant and residual we become, the more he will be able to increase in our lives. Humility will never rise to attack others. We will truly turn the other cheek. Our battle is his, and if we don't have faith, we lose. We will always be winners if we stand still in a cleft of the Rock and behold the works of the Lord.

PHILOSOPHY

I will be aware of philosophies that are sent forth to spoil me. Vain deceit is all about me. This deceit is not after Christ. In Christ, dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily, and I am complete in him. Christ is the head of all principality and power. He spoiled principalities and powers. He made a show of them openly as he triumphed over every one of them. Jesus is not the author of confusion. This confusion is not of him. It is a distraction. I will not be carried away with this madness, for it will alienate me from God if I am taken by it. The spirit of antichrist already takes many. I will be aware, lest I am pulled away after another Jesus. This spirit lies in wait. I let the mind that was in Christ Jesus be in me. He made himself of no reputation, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God, for in the beginning, was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The Word was made flesh.

I am flesh; therefore, I humble myself as Jesus did and become obedient unto death. Only the humble in heart and mind can be free of distraction while they attend unto God. I attend unto him as one who is espoused unto him. I will be focused on him that I do not behold the masked Christ of the hour. There are many Christs in disguises. Only by knowledge of God, will I escape the antichrist that comes with chief subtlety. Only by his voice, will he be known by his people, for his sheep hear his voice. He knows them, and they follow him. I have never seen God, but I know his voice. I will follow him, and I will not be distracted with those who are intruding into those things that they have not seen, vainly puffed up by their fleshly mind. I hold fast to Jesus, the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands, having nourishment, ministered and knit together, increases with the increase of God. If I am his sheep, I will come and follow him. I purpose to be about the Father's business, to feed his lambs, and to win the lost. I will feed his sheep, and I will not be distracted by the issues of the hour. I will not take up the wars among brethren as to who God is. If I bite and devour one with another, I will be consumed one of another. If I know God's voice, then I know God and who he is. I come and follow him.

RHEMA

RE: RHEMA - Dream of the Future "Good," Which Is Front of You To Make You Glad In the Presence of Embarrassment

These words came to my mind.

All your yesterdays have been buried by the dreamy tomorrows that you thought would never come but have arrived today on the wings of my spirit. Now is the time that I will rectify the ranting of "sometimes and maybe." All the derision of the skeptical spirits will I wash away in the sunrise of the day, at the end of the day you thought would end in disaster. Dreams are the vision that I will video in fulfillment. All the slide shows that the enemy would try to turn into a power point presentation will be lost in the short circuit of my power. Behold the true display of the promises in my coming as Messiah, every evil influence lined up and that has not ceased to defame the faith of those who believe in what was spoken by prophets but not seen. Behold, all that I have spoken will come to pass in a flood greater in magnitude than the first flood, but it will be in the Spirit.

Safeguard your salvation. Safeguard your soul. Be not beguiled by the merchants offering beautiful, worthless commodity and empty, enticing pleasures for priceless souls. Consider me as your currency.

49. Now what will you spend me for?

Many fall away because they do not reverence me, the love of God, inside of them. I will not suffer you to be tempted above that you are able but will, with every temptation, make a way of escape so that you may be able to bear it. These things are common to you as a man, but I am faithful. Have no other god or gods before me.

50. If you cherish me, how can you be satisfied attempting to love other gods?

You must relinquish and desert all other gods. I am the only God. I know no other.

51. If I know no other, how can anyone know others?

Keep my words, and they will protect you. My words will shield you. My word is covering you and protecting you. I have caused my word to become walls for you. It is a burning fire to protect you from the cold love of the hour. It has stretched forth its strong arms and protected you from the assault of temptation. It has become the light to shield you from being arrested by the darkness. I am your parent.

52. Do you realize that I am faithful to perform my duties and responsibilities to you as your parent?

The Father, who dwells inside of you, is creating all that is needed for a successful harvest out of a dry situation. I am a God of truth. Now believe my promises. I have not made covenants and not been true to them. The covenants of the Lord will be faithfully executed without fail.

53. Who will spoil my allegiance to you?

54. Has my loyalty been wrecked by the condemnation of the devil?

55. Has my duty been perverted because of your failures?
