Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

Fear not the evil one. Whether he comes as a serpent, a dog, a bear, or some other strange creature, is not important to me. I have all power, and I have already conquered all of these foes. All things are under my feet; therefore, all these things are under your feet because you are baptized into me and have put me on. Do not come out of the truth, which is your hiding place. I am the truth, your hiding place, and I will preserve you from trouble and subtlety. I will compass you about with songs of deliverance and instruct you. I will teach you the right way to journey. I will continually guide you. Trust my eyes and not your own. Lean not to your own understanding, neither lean to the understanding of false religion lest you place yourself in the path of your enemies. Continue to trust in me, and mercy shall compass you about. I am a continual refuge in times of trouble. I will never forsake those who place their trust in me. I knew of the trouble that would come before it came. I knew the strategy of trouble before it came. I sent mercy to lift you up out of the net of its wiles. Now show forth praise, for I have delivered you by the hand of salvation. By my own hand, I have hidden you in my pavilion. In the secret of my tabernacle, I have hidden you and set you upon a rock. Your heads are now lifted above your enemies round about you, so offer in my tabernacle the sacrifices of joy. Sing praises unto the Lord, your God.

(RHEMA: Concealed from Crafty Enemies)

I do not fear the evil one. Whether he comes as a serpent, a dog, a bear, or some other strange creature, is not important to God. The Lord has all power, and he has already conquered all of these foes. All things are under his feet; therefore, all these things are under my feet because I am baptized into him and have put Christ on. I will not come out of the truth, which is my hiding place. He is the truth, my hiding place, and he will preserve me from trouble and subtlety. He will compass me about with songs of deliverance and instruct me. He will teach me the right way to journey, and he will continually guide me. I trust his eyes and not my own. I lean not to my own understanding, neither do I lean to the understanding of false religion lest I place myself in the path of my enemies. I continue to trust in the Lord, and his mercy shall compass me about. He is a continual refuge in times of trouble. He will never forsake those who place their trust in him. He knew of the trouble that would come before it came. He knew the strategy of trouble before it came. He sent mercy to lift me up out of the net of its wiles. I will now show forth praise, for he has delivered me by the hand of salvation. By his own hand, he has hidden me in his pavilion. In the secret of his tabernacle, he has hidden me and set me upon a rock. My head is now lifted above my enemies round about me; therefore, I offer in his tabernacle the sacrifices of joy. I sing praises unto the Lord, my God.

Christ Will Turn This Horrendous Nightmare Into a Glorious Reality, and It Shall Become the Habitation of An Amazing Truth

The enemy has shrouded minds with a false concept of my purpose and turns many people aside unto a wrong purpose. He has twisted the meaning of my coming and given many a misinterpretation of the gospel. This is an adulterated form of the gospel. It is depraved. Do not lose your position, neither allow your worth to be commercialized during this time of the year.

The enemy seeks to destroy the purity of the church and make ineffective your faith. This pollution of true holiness and true righteousness has caused many to present me as a Christ in filthy rags. I am true and holy; therefore, my bride is true and holy. Now be true and holy. Many have been brought to dishonor and been discredited because they sought righteousness without true faith. The times of fear spoiled their faith, and they sought righteousness with zeal motivated by fear. Allow reverential fear to abide, but refuse to be afraid and frightened by anything. Danger is not a reason for alarm. I have said, "Fear not." Meet these times with courage, not with dread and panic. I have given you the mind of Christ. Now reason from my divine mind, and receive the mastery of fear given by grace and the ability of God.

Terrorists are really cowards hiding behind a corrupt view of me. You should reject the extreme degrees of fear fostered by them, for I have given you peace in me. The peace of God rules in my kingdom. You are in a kingdom that is ever increasing. It has no ending, for I am eternal. Look unto the glory of God, and behold my power and might. I am supreme and cannot be defeated. Look unto me, the author and finisher of your faith. I started a good work in you, and I will finish it. I have granted you peace. I am peace. You are one with me. Have I given you less than what I am?

The trouble in the world is designed to create a strain in our relationship. It promotes disharmony between you and I. I have not become hostile toward you because trouble is rampant. This discord should not encourage you to accept the pressure of fear, but the discord promoted should cause you trust me more. I will take this time of delinquency and show how honest I am. Look up, and behold the glory of your God as I bring peace that passes all understanding. I will turn this horrendous nightmare into a glorious, wonderful reality. This frightening fog shall become the habitation of an amazing truth. I will bring perfect peace to the minds of my people, and they shall abide here in absolute harmony with me. Behold the peace that I give. Now I send you forth into the world to carry peace unto a troubled world, not as the world gives but the peace that only I can give. Go. I am the Prince of peace.

RE: RHEMA - Christ Will Turn This Horrendous Nightmare Into a Glorious Reality, and It Shall Become the Habitation of An Amazing Truth

Who is this that cometh forth from the wilderness leaning upon her beloved?

The spirit drove our Lord into the wilderness of temptation. Was it to destroy the church or the Savior?

Never. We will only come forth strengthened as we lean upon him who is the strength of our life. Sometimes it seems that every path we walk down is a mine field. It appears that every intersection we cross has a fatal accident. We get the feeling that every corner we turn will have a terrible person or thing waiting to pounce on us. His grace is sufficient for us. When we are weak, he is strong. All our efforts, many times, serve only to cloud issues and frustrate us. Patience possesses our soul and brings us the precious treasure of victory if we will wait for God to bring it to pass. None of us like for our comfort zones to be disturbed, but this is just what these situations bring about. Yet in discomforting us, God can discomfit the positions of the enemy and release the church into realms that they would reach through no other means. Faith is not the companion of fear. His love is upon us, and he will drive out all of our fears. Anxiety may desire a conference with us, but we are in the fellowship of the prince of peace.

RE: RHEMA - Authoritative Grace Labors Effectually and Prevents Sin from Ruling Over Us While Aborting the Menace of Failure

The Lord gave me this word on failure and dealing with it.

Receive a fresh revelation of my power and grace. In the difficulty, I will bring forth victory. Out of the deepest pit, will walk Dynamic Deity. Out of the awful situation, will be revealed my awesomeness. Out of your lowest points, I will cause you to ascend to my highest points of blessing. Be as Job who saw creation's graphic beauty sweep the night sky of his pain with the canvass of spoken power. Be as Ezekiel who saw the vaulted ceilings of captivity retracted to see the open door of heaven where the universe poured out glittering and shimmering jewels of a billion points of power. Behold John as he lifted his face from the sandy granite hardness of isolation to see the one who took him and the church with one hand and with the other hand, opened the door of time and carried them into and eternity where no harsh hands would ever inflict suffering on his body again. Look as Moses when he lifted his eyes above the limp tents of the groaning, complaining masses to see me mobilize days of creation like troops on parade to march down into the formless void of the beginning of time. See David as he grabbed angels and stars as he danced in his dreams across fields of battle that others had never fought on before. Isaiah saw the heavens filled with the measureless greatness of my ability to mete out the heavens with the span of my hand and stretch out everything out of the closet of nothing. Daniel wept for home but soon beheld the Builder of the houses of eternity push down kingdoms and build temples and kingdoms that only kings could dream of. In the lion's den, he saw his Creator cradle lions like kittens and feed them with the milk of silence. When David looked so painfully into the mirror of his own disappointments, he saw the face of Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow fill a glory cloud with the presence that picked him up like a shepherd would a lamb and anointed his pain with oil, and his empty cup ran over with the blessing that had seemed to run and hide from him.

No abominable thing shall enter into the prepared place for the faithful. Only those who work righteousness shall enter in.

1. Shall you work abominations and enter in when I have told you that no abominable thing shall enter in?

2. Where do you want to spend eternity?

3. Where will you spend eternity?

I came and walked in the winepress of the grapes of wrath for your eternal life. Now drink from the cup of eternal life, and abhor the cup of lust and pride offered by the religions of the world. Come out from among them, and be separate, and I will receive you. I will be your God, and you shall be my child. Regret not the lost pleasures and treasures of the world, but rejoice that your name is written in the Lamb's book of life. I have written down your name in my book.

4. Will you remove your name from my list to write your name in the hall of fools?

Choose according to truth and righteousness then your name will not be blotted out of my book. Choose this day whom you will serve. I am the God that was on the other side of your salvation. Now I am the God on this side of your salvation.

5. Will you serve the gods on the other side of your salvation when they sought to destroy you, and I saved you?
