Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

I called you unto liberty. The flesh will embrace another Jesus offering occasions to it. Do not use liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but serve one another by love. The flesh is filled with lust. Walk in the Spirit, and you will not fulfill its lust. Another Jesus has schemed to use the nature of the flesh to oppose the kingdom of God and ensnare the people of God. Liberty is being perverted, and grace is being turned into lasciviousness. Do not deny me for another Jesus, for all who do such things, deny me, the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ. As the angels, which did not keep their first estate but left their own habitation, so are people leaving true righteousness and true holiness. Hold fast to the truth and do not be corrupted by another Jesus.

The Lord called me unto liberty. The flesh will embrace another Jesus offering occasions to it. I will not use liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love, I will serve others. The flesh is filled with lust. I will walk in the Spirit, and I will not fulfill the lust of the flesh. Another Jesus has schemed to use the nature of the flesh to oppose the kingdom of God and ensnare the people of God. Liberty is being perverted, and grace is being turned into lasciviousness. I will not deny Jesus for another Jesus, for all who do such things, deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ. As the angels, which kept not their first estate but left their own habitation, so are people leaving true righteousness and true holiness. I will hold fast to the truth, and I will not be corrupted by another Jesus.

Love’s Liberating Touch In the Presence of a Host of Evil

(Part 1)

You have not come to the mountain of condemnation and judgment unto damnation, but you have come to the throne of grace and mercy. My desire is to grant you mercy so that grace might show forth its beauty and its victory. The victory of grace has vented a powerful swing against the enemy on your behalf. I have spoken in times past and told you of the incomprehensible expression of the resurrection on your behalf. The resurrection is love’s expression on behalf of fallen man. You are no longer held by the consequences of your sins. The ashes of the fiery pit are not yours any longer. The enemy has conspired to feed you the ashes of the pit of damnation. Many have their mouths filled with the ashes of condemnation because this is what they have been fed. This is what many have desired to eat. The enemy has camouflaged ashes of condemnation and fabricated them as the empty bread of traditions. Regurgitate the bread of condemnation. Spew out the water of insincerity, and come bow down at the throne of fresh bread and new wine. From the throne of grace, I am serving the platters of life.

My blood was not shed in vain, neither was my body offered for naught. The effectiveness of my offering is real and potent. The blessing of Christ is yours, but the enemy constantly conspires to beguile you by turning you away from the simplicity that is in Christ. Turn your mind from the intellect of religion, and allow the spirit of wisdom and revelation to show you of the plain path of the royal communion along the path of righteousness. You drew nigh to me. Now believe that I have also drawn nigh to you. The blood of my offering has bridged the gap between you and me. There is no gap between my holiness and you any longer. You have access. You have freedom. You have true liberty. Now disallow the temptation to use your liberty as a cloak of unrighteousness. If your good is evil spoken of, then what profit is your liberty?

RE: RHEMA - Love's Liberating Touch In the Presence of a Host of Evil (Part 1)

Liberty is more than doing what we please. Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty. We have liberty to do the will of God to its fullest extent. The law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made us free from the law of sin and death. We have been loosed from the law of sin that is in our members. It is like being loosed from the natural laws of gravity. We are no longer pulled down in the spirit, but up to Jesus and his power. We are no longer confessors of defeat but declarers of victory in every battle. Condemnation, judgment, and damnation are no longer the compass that we are guided by. We have a new GPS spiritual directive of love operating in our lives. His commandments are not grievous, but are a delight in the light of his love. Love has liberated us to focus on the right purposes and pursuits. Our enemy can no longer make us ashamed or disoriented by his false accusations. Love has accepted us beyond any voice of rejection.

INSPIRATION & RHEMA

By Don Grigsby

RE: RHEMA - Let Us Go On Unto the Prize of the High Calling of God In Christ Jesus

Excellence is the bar of accomplishment that God is set before us. Mediocrity is not the race that we are to run in. As we forget the things that are behind, we reach for those things that are higher and better. As we reach for the things that exceed the mundane, the things that would try to pull us down and reduce us to less than what God wants us to be, will fall away. God has chosen us from among a generation that does not, as a whole, strive for excellence. All the Old Testament fathers were beholding the things afar off. They embraced them as their very own. God has counted us worthy of the excellent things that he has prepared for us. Our promises are certain, and we will not allow the wind and the rain of storms to shatter the boat that has come in loaded with the provision of the Lord. As we come to the shores of life and are rocked with the storms and adversity that comes, we will never give in to the raging destruction that reaches for us. The Master designer of the universe can repair and restore the most broken and shattered dreams and plans. Anything that is lost will be restored many times over. We behold God replacing one expired galaxy with dozens.

I heard him say,

Be not afraid of that which seems to vanish before you. It will appear again in a glory of magnified proportions. What has gone away, many shall bring abundant harvest to your door looking for the barn of protection and storage. All that is thine is mine, and I will not lose anything entrusted to me. Every empty space will eventually be full, and the darkness will be light as the noon day. Whatever the horizon seems to swallow up, will arise in the sunrise of the newly created day of restoration.

(Continued)

Pray that you do not into temptation. The refusal to pray is the way into temptation; therefore, close the door of prayerlessness by fervent prayer. I am the father of lights, the father of spirits, and your creator. I have begotten you by the word of light and now you are a child of the light. Allow your light to shine.

441. How will your light shine if you have covered it with unwanted temptation?

I have called you to lift up the banner of holiness and righteousness. Go and stand on the hill of salvation and sound the trumpet of truth. Do not fear to sound the trumpet of freedom, for many await the melody of sanctification. The melody of sanctification cannot be played without the trumpet of truth. I have given the solo part of sanctification unto the trumpet of truth. All the other background sounds and harmony are mere empty expressions until truth has played its solo. Hear the solo of truth. It will make you free, for you are sanctified by the truth. The flesh shall not march with you in the unison that is required of you unless it is crucified.

442. How will a band of unbelief march with the band of faith?
