Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

Evil spirits are helpless in the hands of the angels. These angels go with you everywhere you go, for they are on assignment from me. Take heed unto them, for they are holy. They are empowered and can destroy entire cities. Their swords are not borne in vain. You do not need to protect yourself. They are your protection. You are an heir to salvation, and they are ministering spirits sent forth to minister for you. Take heed.

(RHEMA: The Tormenting Spirits of the Night Are Held In Check by Your Ministering Spirits)

Evil spirits are helpless in the hands of the angels. Angels go with me everywhere I go, for they are on assignment from God. I take heed unto them, for they are holy. They are empowered and can destroy entire cities. Their swords are not borne in vain. I do not need to protect myself. They are my protection. I am an heir to salvation, and they are ministering spirits sent forth to minister for me; therefore, I take heed.

Faith’s Expression of Its Vision of Peace In the Midst of a Storm

(Part 3)

Rise up, and proclaim the gospel today. I am prepared to do a work that you will not believe. Place your confidence in me and my word, not in how much you have prayed, how much you have fasted, how holy you have walked, how much you know, neither in what relationship you have with man. I have accepted you in me. Now believe the gospel that saved you. Now believe that gospel that you have preached. Now believe the gospel that you stand in right now. This gospel is the power of God unto salvation. Preach the gospel. It is the news that brings peace and glad tidings. Preach the gospel of my kingdom, and your feet shall be shod with beauty. I have desired to grant you the feet that can travel through the land of serpents and vipers, which hinder the work of God. Preach the gospel of peace, and I grant you beautiful feet. I am the God of peace. Satan is bruised under your feet of beauty. I have calmed the storms of life and granted you an open door into the camp of the enemy where those appointed unto salvation reside. Accept my peace, and go on to minister instead of adhering to the threats of the adversary. I have set before you a door that he cannot shut. My peace I give. My power is real and effective against all the war tactics of the enemy. Rise up, and proclaim your peace. It passes all of your understanding.

Faith's Expression of Its Vision of Peace In the Midst of a Storm (Part 3)

Peace is like a light house on the shores of the miraculous. Storms would seem to sink us on the rocks of ruin. Miracles are the berths in the harbor that we are headed for. We are set to sail into a full blown celebration of victory. We are not on the rescue squads list of missing vessels. We are in the sure channel of faith that will guide us past the rocks that would destroy the hull of the ship. As the gospel preached the good news to us at the beginning, it will declare a good report at the end of our journey. God will complete the work that he has begun in us. We will enter into the rest of faith in the harbor of light.

A SPIRITUAL STORM

(Part 3)

I rise up and proclaim the gospel today. Jesus is prepared to do a work that I will not believe. I place my confidence in him and his word, not in how much I have prayed, how much I have fasted, how holy I have walked, how much I know, neither in what relationship I have with man. He has accepted me in him. Now I believe the gospel that saved me. Now I believe that gospel that I have preached. Now I believe the gospel that I stand in right now. This gospel is the power of God unto salvation. I will preach the gospel. It is the news that brings peace and glad tidings. I preach the gospel of his kingdom, and my feet shall be shod with beauty. God has desired to grant me the feet that can travel through the land of serpents and vipers, which hinder the work of God. I will preach the gospel of peace, and God will grant me beautiful feet. He is the God of peace. Satan is bruised under my feet of beauty. He has calmed the storms of life and granted me an open door into the camp of the enemy where those appointed unto salvation reside. I accept his peace and go on to minister instead of adhering to the threats of the adversary. The Lord has set before me a door that he cannot shut. His peace he gives. His power is real and effective against all the war tactics of the enemy. I rise up and proclaim my peace. It passes all of my understanding.

INSPIRATION

RE: RHEMA - The Mighty _Expression of Righteousness Walking In the Chambers of Holiness, Down the Chambers of Praise, Shoving Damnation Aside, and Intervening For Us While We Stand At the Doors of Shame

Dancing has dawned upon the land once dominated by the darkness of damnation. Delight has affixed itself to the doorposts of the depressed. Long gone are the days of dense, dark blankets of confusion’s nightmares of fear. Liberty has claimed its throne of victory. Holiness was once draped with the coverings of a casket. Now it's all the tapestry of an ark of the covenant. All the beauty of the heavens has wrapped the nature of God in the vestments of flesh. Not only was the Word made flesh but the holy nature of God was demonstrated in the fleshly walk of Jesus Christ. Some have portrayed it as a marathon too long and arduous to run when we know that we can run it and not be weary in the strength of the Holy One. Its beauty eclipses that of the sun. It is the one thing that heaven has, a whole course of angels that guard its treasure. We are not paupers of a bunch of "have too’s" but wealthy in multiplied “want too's." Resurrection's power was not so much in its visible work but in the inside work that translates outward in every day emotion and living. Failure has been evicted from the auditorium of our lives where it had always sought to take up the whole front row.

Since he has covered my shame with his glory, I have been running and jumping in the best fashion that heaven has to offer. No longer will shame and failure clothe me with its rags. Resurrection's dawn has wrapped me in the swaddling bands of beauty beyond description. No longer is my understanding just the run of the mill that stumbles at every turn in the road. The Highway of Holiness runs through my life lit by heaven's state of the art illumination. I am not tied in the knots of fear but loosed to the victory of freedom's song. Dead relationships have become the centerpieces of redemption in the rearrangement by the Hands of life.

Satan is an intruder in the courts of praise. Damnation is an alien to be cast aside from the chambers of worship and praise. We have the privilege to enter the courts of majesty to adore and delight in the presence of the King. Condemnation cannot sit on the throne that was created for the Creator. Divine dignity has clothed us with beauty and given us a song of praise and an announcement of deliverance that we will boldly fill the land with. We will sound the trumpet of faith, and failure will hang its head as it slips into the shadows of defeat.

(Continued)

I am a Spirit; therefore, worship me in spirit and in truth. I have not brought you here to die by the hands of confusion. The strength of peace has lifted you and brought you to my table of fresh bread. Eat this bread with your mind at peace.

429. How will you assimilate this spiritual meal if your nerves and emotions are slashed with the sword of confusion?

The spirit of distraction is running rampant throughout the earth. It has devoured the minds of those who do not believe in purity of mind and heart. It is fishing for the minds of those who believe, yet walk after the flesh and not after the spirit. Alert the people of God so that they are not consumed by this devourer. The spirit of distraction lurks in the chambers of the priest in this hour. Distraction has forged weapons of subtlety that the ministry of this hour has not seen. Keep your mind stayed on me, and I will keep you in perfect peace.

430. My peace, I give to you, but how will you maintain the preciousness of my peace if your mind becomes occupied by the inspiration of the world?
