Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

Your seed shall flourish among the Gentiles. I am your husband, your Maker; the Lord of hosts is my name. I am the Holy One of Israel, the God of the whole earth. Cease looking for trouble to come. Cease looking to be swept away by the floods of the hour. I am not wroth with you, neither will I rebuke you. Mountains shall depart, and the hills shall be removed, but my kindness shall not depart from you, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed. I am showing forth mercy unto you.

(RHEMA: God Shall Vex Those Who Attack His Anointed Ones)

My seed shall flourish among the Gentiles. Jesus is my husband, my Maker; the Lord of hosts is his name. He is the Holy One of Israel, the God of the whole earth. I cease looking for trouble to come. I cease looking to be swept away by the floods of the hour. God is not wroth with me, neither will he rebuke me. Mountains shall depart, and the hills shall be removed, but his kindness shall not depart from me, neither shall the covenant of his peace be removed. He is showing forth mercy unto me.

A Pure Heart Is a Guard Against the Blinding Blows of Strife

You were not born spiritually blind. The cry of your heart when you said, “Abba Father,” was heard by me. Every child that is born unto me is a joy. Every child is born complete in me. There is no need to be entangled in the affairs of this life, neither the strong webs of the darkness, for the pure in heart shall always see. Many of my children have been blinded by sin. Blindness does not occur suddenly, but it is a process which begins in the heart. Your heart is desperately wicked and deceitful above all things, and you cannot know it. You must keep your heart pure. The spirit of strife has stepped up its war on the saints. Strife has been called to the front line by the authorities of the darkness. Strife will not retreat because of your own blindness. Blindness is a blow upon the members of the body that brings them to the brink of death and ditches. I have sent you ministers that see, but you must be willing to be taught. Even the ministers must have pure hearts or the love of money shall ensnare them. They must have a love for me and a love for ministry unto others to secure their own hearts. At this moment, I am sending other laborers into the harvest who see through eyes of faith. Behold the rapid arrival of laborers before your eyes.

RE: RHEMA - A Pure Heart Is a Guard Against the Blinding Blows of Strife

Blessed or very happy are the pure in heart, for they will behold the Lord. Pure in this statement means in the original sincerity or singleness. If our eye be single, then our body will be full of light and revelation. When we refuse to turn aside and behold any other view except that of the One who loves us, the enemy cannot make any inroads into our lives. The enemy opened Eve to temptation by getting her to look at the fruit and saying that her eyes would be opened. When she saw is the telling phrase. We must not be blinded by what appears to be important. Strife will come between many when we begin to try to behold faults instead of valuable things in the lives of others. Sin will blind us to the goodness of God and the value of our brothers and sisters in the kingdom. As we love God and others in the ministry, we will be a mercy seat for one another and not a judgment seat. Only one can sit in the judgment seat and he is within us on a throne of grace.

THE BLINDING BLOWS OF STRIFE

I was not born spiritually blind. The cry of my heart when I said, “Abba Father,” was heard by God. Every child that is born unto him is a joy. Every child is born complete in Christ. There is no need to be entangled in the affairs of this life, neither the strong webs of the darkness, for the pure in heart shall always see. Many of God’s children have been blinded by sin. Blindness does not occur suddenly, but it is a process which begins in the heart. My heart is desperately wicked and deceitful above all things, and I cannot know it. I must keep my heart pure. The spirit of strife has stepped up its war on the saints. Strife has been called to the front line by the authorities of the darkness. Strife will not retreat because of my own blindness. Blindness is a blow upon the members of the body that brings them to the brink of death and ditches. The Lord sent me ministers that see, but I must be willing to be taught. Even the ministers must have pure hearts, or the love of money shall ensnare them. They must have a love for God and a love for ministry unto others to secure their own hearts. At this moment, God is sending other laborers into the harvest who see through eyes of faith. I behold the rapid arrival of laborers before my eyes.

INSPIRATION & RHEMA

RE: RHEMA - The Lord Opened the Book of Our Life and Only He Can Close It

Sovereign in power, the orchestrator of our lives has already written the end of our lives. It is not one wrapped in defeat and failure, but embellished with victory and triumph. Stains of disgrace are not allowed on the pages that grace has inked its freedom upon. As the author and finisher of our faith, he has written a best seller of our lives. The book of life is the Lord's jurisdiction alone. He will never allow life or anything in it to alter what he has written or erase the etchings of grace. Promises hold the golden edges of power packed pages of his performance in our lives. Dark themes of defeat are not allowed in the writings of the One who has written his love across the heavens.

No other being has the authority to enter in and scribble on the pages of the story of our life. Satan's graffiti was banished at the cross when the Lord announced, “It is finished.” All the details have not been shared with us, but they are as certain as the eternity of God himself. Our mission and purpose has been written with a pen of iron and the point of a diamond. Every sentence that is part of the plot line of our life is woven with the blessings that the enemy cannot unravel.

Recently the Lord spoke to me and said,

You have not designed today or tomorrow, but I have fashioned them into the clothing of a new day for you. You were never designed to wear the rags of failure, but the purple of princes. Do not allow anything to robe you in doubt and fear. Wear the garments of grace and power without fear. The day has been made for you, and you should walk in to it as if it were your private estate. All the distractions that scream at you that you will stumble and fall in the path that goes out before you will perish. My words concerning you will speed out like a carpet before you.

We are to declare boldly that the Lord is for us, and it does not matter who will rise to contest our passing. No one has been God's counselor or consultant in our lives. He has designed by his grace, the inception and the finish of our journey here. Every input of negative pretense will be filed in the forgetfulness of forever. False accusations are just a bump in the road that we will drive over with the ease of the enabling of God's power and promise. Grace holds the pen of eternal destiny. Its writings are placed before the King of Kings, and he concurs with his blessings. All other writings shall perish in the dust, but the dust shall put on the garments of deity and stand in the eternal courts of being with our Beloved.

(Continued)

Do not give place to the devil. If you continue to walk by your feelings and by your sight, you will have a mouth filled with corrupt communication. I have called you to speak that which is good to the use of edifying that it may minister grace unto the hearers. You grieve me, the Holy Spirit, by the voice of unbelief that you allow to speak in you. I sanctified your heart and mouth.

457. Why allow this evil speaking to be spoken through sanctified lips?

Your tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

458. Whose name are you signing to the document of unbelief that arrived in your life today?
