Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

I touch your mouth with a fresh touch of the anointing and place fresh words in your mouth. Go and root out, pull down, destroy, throw down, build, and plant. I have given this power to the prophets of the last days. Jeremiah is not here any longer, but I am the Spirit that was speaking in him. I am the same yesterday, today, and forever. I speak in men today to perform the things that I will. I hasten my word to perform all that I have planned. I am against the false teachers of the hour. I will hasten my judgment upon them, and they shall be destroyed, for they are causing my people to err. I have said, "The gates of hell will not prevail against my church." Though the enemy has sent a flood of evil against my body, the enemy will not triumph over it. I have lifted up a standard against the enemy. Draw out your sword, and swing it valiantly. Be not dismayed at the faces of those who seem to be. Gather those whom the spirit of prophecy is in together, and speak against this flood. Dry it up with the words of your mouths. I have made the prophets of the last days a city protected by God. I have made them iron pillars and brazen walls. The enemies of prophecy shall gather themselves together to fight against you. They shall open their mouths against you to discredit you, but they shall not prevail against you, for I am with you to deliver you. Be not afraid. Go and dry up the flood with the words of your mouths.

(RHEMA: Though Men Open Their Mouths To Discredit You, God Shall Cause You To Prevail)

God has touched my mouth with a fresh touch of the anointing and has placed fresh words in my mouth. I will go and root out, pull down, destroy, throw down, build, and plant. God has given this power to the prophets of the last days. Jeremiah is not here any longer, but God is the Spirit that was speaking in him. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He speaks in men today to perform the things that he wills. God has hastened his word to perform all that he has planned. He is against the false teachers of the hour. He will hasten his judgment upon them, and they shall be destroyed, for they are causing God's people to err. God has said, "The gates of hell will not prevail against my church." Though the enemy has sent a flood of evil against his body, the enemy will not triumph over it. God has lifted up a standard against the enemy. I will draw out my sword and swing it valiantly. I will not be dismayed at the faces of those who seem to be. I will gather those whom the spirit of prophecy is in together and speak against this flood. I will dry it up with the words of my mouth. God has made the prophets of the last days a city protected by God. God has made them iron pillars and brazen walls. The enemies of prophecy shall gather themselves together to fight against me. They shall open their mouths against me to discredit me, but they shall not prevail against me, for God is with me to deliver me. I will not be afraid.

Love's Priority Is the Salvation of the Lost

My sheep hear my voice, and the voice of another they will not follow. 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. There must be wars and rumors of wars. I have already told you these things. Do not be distracted by these things, but busy yourself with winning the lost. I came into this world to seek and save those who are lost. Will knowing the answers to why all these things are happening save the lost?

Then go preach the gospel so that the lost will be saved. Masses died today without salvation. Will you be found preaching the gospel to the lost or trying to determine why all these things are happening?

I am come that you might have life and have it more abundantly. My body will fulfill my purpose. Those who are mine will respond to the true purpose. You cannot help those who have perished; therefore, go find those who yet live but are lost. I have not changed my purpose or my course. The wars in the earth today did not alter my purpose; therefore, do not allow these unusual events and mass deaths to modify your purpose. The salvation of the lost is love's priority. What is love's priority today?

What is your priority today?

If your priority is to boast of a special revelation from God, then you have missed my purpose. Be about my business and then will you align yourself with me. What happened yesterday did not surprise me. I knew that it would happen before it happened. Be not distracted with the rest of the world. Heaven is not rejoicing or sad over these events. The angels of God are about the Father's business. They look to rejoice over one sinner who repents. Eternal life seeks to become someone's reward.

Righteousness and holiness search for hungry and thirsty souls. I seek to give a relationship with me without money and without price. Who will administer the riches of Christ in the midst of perplexity and confusion?

I have given my life a ransom for the world. I have not cancelled my salvation because of the tragedies in the earth. Healing is available in spite of trouble. Comfort is available by the voice of the church. I have sent out the call to minister. Hear the call of purpose in the midst of the blast of trouble. I have not given you the spirit of bondage again to fear, but I have given you the spirit of power, of love, and of a sound mind. My love is casting out fear. Be perfected in love, and there will not be a place for fear to reside. Emergency workers are risking their lives to help those in trouble. Where are my people in fulfilling their purpose?

Who will take up the broadcast of truth and play the tune of eternal life today?

Grace and truth have come to the world. I desire to journey to someone's house to deliver salvation to the waiting arms of faith. Today is the day of salvation. Who suspended their fears and their issues to make known the message of life?

Come and follow me. There is work to do.

RE: RHEMA - Love's Priority Is the Salvation of the Lost

Priorities must be established fresh every day in our lives. Many things will vie for our attention. Many voices will cry out to be heard. Many lovers will beckon us to their arms. We have heard the call to be fishers of men. We are commanded to love others as ourselves. We do not want to be lost, so it is simple to understand that God made it his eternal priority that no one should perish. If everything we do does not dovetail into winning the lost, then what we are doing is in vain. It is necessary to refocus that mandate regularly. Personal and interpersonal needs cry out for us to address them first. We must address the needs of others and think of others as better than ourselves.

God recently spoke to me and said,

Why do you busy yourself with the business of the church?

All the procedures and services are important. Tell me who they are for. Are they to entertain others so they can say you preached a good sermon or that you did a good job?

You could do a good job, and people will still be lost. Where is your passion for the lost?

Feel their "lostness" and confusion and desperate desire to not be a candidate for an eternity filled with pain and separation. Bring men to me and me to all that you can! We can be doing the good and leave out the best. We can be caught up in maintenance and not in bringing the lost sheep to the Shepherd. Our battles and wars that rise around us can distract us from reaching the ones that are in the ditch at our feet as we are on our way to the house of God. We can be so focused on getting a blessing ourselves that we forget the greatest blessing is for others to receive eternal life. Carrying our cross is not as important as carrying someone else to the One on the cross. We are told by the Word that, "They that wait at the altar will be partakers with the altar." As we bring others to a place to meet the Savior, we will receive the liberty and power of deliverance multiplied into our lives. God has already finished the work of our salvation. Our work is before us in the harvest fields at the last hour.

DISTRACTION AND ISSUES

The Lord's sheep hear his voice, and the voice of another they will not follow. I am determined to follow him, and I am not distracted with those who are intruding into those things that they have not seen, vainly puffed up by their fleshly mind. I must 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, then I will come and follow him. I choose to be about the Father's business, feed his lambs, and win the lost. I will feed his sheep, and I will not be distracted by the issues of the hour. There must be wars and rumors of wars. He has already told me these things. I choose not to be distracted by these things but to busy myself with winning the lost. He came into this world to seek and save those who are lost. Knowing the answers to why all these things are happening will not save the lost.

I purpose to go preach the gospel so that the lost will be saved. Masses died today without salvation. I conclude to be found preaching the gospel to the lost and not trying to determine why all these things are happening. He has come that I might have life and have it more abundantly. His body will fulfill his purpose. Those who are his will respond to the true purpose. I cannot help those who have perished; therefore, I will go find those who yet live but are lost. God has not changed his purpose or his course. The wars in the earth today did not alter his purpose; therefore, I will not allow these unusual events and mass deaths to modify my purpose. The salvation of the lost is love's priority. This is love's priority today. The salvation of the lost must be my priority today. If my priority is to boast of a special revelation from God, then I have missed his purpose. I choose to be about God's business and then will I align myself with him. What happened yesterday did not surprise him. He knew that it would happen before it happened. I will not be distracted with the rest of the world. Heaven is not rejoicing or sad over these events. The angels of God are about the Father's business. They look to rejoice over one sinner who repents. Eternal life seeks to become someone's reward. Righteousness and holiness search for hungry and thirsty souls.

The Lord seeks to give a relationship with him without money and without price. His body, the church, will administer the riches of Christ in the midst of perplexity and confusion. He has given his life a ransom for the world. He has not cancelled his salvation because of the tragedies in the earth. Healing is available in spite of trouble. Comfort is available by the voice of the church. He has sent out the call to minister. I hear the call of purpose in the midst of the blast of trouble. He has not given me the spirit of bondage again to fear, but he has given me the spirit of power, of love, and of a sound mind. His love is casting out fear. I am being perfected in love, and there will not be a place for fear to reside. Emergency workers are risking their lives to help those in trouble; however, God's people are falling short in fulfilling their purpose. Those called by his purpose will take up the broadcast of truth and play the tune of eternal life today. Grace and truth have come to the world. God desires to journey to someone's house to deliver salvation to the waiting arms of faith. Today is the day of salvation. I will suspend my fears and my issues to make known the message of life. I will come and follow him. There is work to do.

RHEMA

RE: RHEMA - Bread For the Children

Pretenders will never be happy because they lie to themselves. If we fail to tell ourselves the truth, we will be herded and hounded by the fear of every lie that comes within striking distance. Satan blinds the mind of those who have not given themselves over to the obedience of faith. They fail to see the liberty of their submission to the order of the kingdom and his word. As we focus our energies to circumvent what we think is trivial, we will forget what is important in the kingdom of God. All who are strong and committed to the principles of his holiness will shine as the beacon in a dark night along a stormy shore. Our true identity must not be slurred among the blending shades of the night. It is a necessity that we turn the tide from seeing what is the bare minimum to be able to please God to the concept of what is the maximum I can do for him. It is not with an arrogant, proud spirit we do this but from the knees of thanksgiving for deliverance from horrible destruction into an unlimited creation.

Regard your deliverance from sin and bondage as a great display of love toward you, and forget not the pit that I dug you from. You should have died in your sins. With the hand of love, I drew you out of darkness and allowed you to be a part of a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, and a holy nation. Open your mouth, and sound the trumpet of praise. You have offered great joy at the altar of gods that cannot see and cannot hear.

56. Will you remain silent at the altar of the God who has kept you from perishing from off the land that you live in?

Your eyes see, and your ears hear. Your heart is changed, and your mind is stayed on me. Your life is not desolate, and the spiritual beasts do not ravish your spiritual wealth. I am with you and speaking grace in your ears. I have remained with you while you coveted other gods.

57. Will you come to the hill of victory and forget me?

I am the great, glorious God, and I have no ego problem. I am expressing to you the greatness of my wondrous works. Your thoughts of me are too small. Your concepts of me are too weak. The enemy has stifled you many times because you do not understand how great I am. Behold my greatness. Behold how gracious I am.

58. How will your children grow in grace and in the knowledge of me unless you express the abundance of my compassion and my mercy unto them?

These words came to me,

59. Can you understand my wisdom?

My secrets are too great to know. You cannot search and find me out.

60. Do you know how high heaven is?

61. Do you know how deep hell is?

62. How much do you know?
