Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

What value have you placed on this fellowship with me?

If you do not make a decision concerning it, how will you know if you will sell out?

How much am I worth to you?

Is there anyone or anything that you would trade me for?

What are they worth to you?

What is it worth to you?

Have you ever equated betraying me with selling your soul?

I tell you this morning that there is an auction for your soul. Do not place your soul on the market. I was sold for thirty pieces of silver. What will you sell me for?

There is a constant plot circulating in the spirit world to entice people to betray me. You must establish a value for your soul if you are going to be saved. What are you advantaged if you lose your soul?

(RHEMA: Remove Your Soul from the Auction)

There is no value I can place on this fellowship with the Lord. I have made a decision about this fellow; therefore, by the grace of God, I know that I will not sell out. To me, the Lord is worth more than anything in this world or the world to come. There is no one or anything that I would trade the Lord for. There are some people that are worth my life to me. I have never equated betraying the Lord with selling my soul. However, I know that there is an auction for my soul. I will not place my soul on the market. Jesus was sold for thirty pieces of silver. By grace, I will not sell him for anything. There is a constant plot circulating in the spirit world to entice people to betray the Lord. I must establish a value for my soul if I am going to be saved. I am not advantaged anything if I lose my soul.

Peace That Passes All Understanding In the Midst of Terror

In me, there is peace. I have given you peace that passes all understanding. You have the peace of God. It is keeping your heart and mind through Christ Jesus. You have become acquainted with me; therefore, you are at peace, and good has come unto you. I have given you an intimate knowledge of me. I have given you quietness. Now who can make trouble for you?

The hypocrite will not reign. If he does, the people will be ensnared. People who were once friends have been led into bitterness and resentment because of false leadership. I am giving my people shepherds after my own heart that they may dwell in peace. I will hide my face from the false shepherds, and I will hide my face from the nations that dwell in hypocrisy. Who can behold me when I hide my face?

I have blessed my people with peace and given strength unto them. I have spoken peace unto them. Go and tell them not to turn again unto folly. My salvation is near them that fear me, and glory dwells in their land. Mercy and truth are met together. Righteousness and peace have kissed each other. Truth has sprung out of the earth by the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Now righteousness looks down from heaven. I am giving that which is good, and your land is yielding her increase. My righteousness is going before you and setting you in the way of my steps. I will keep you in perfect peace if your mind is stayed on me. Trust in me, and lean not to your own understanding. I have ordained peace for you. I am the Lord. I form the light and create darkness. I make peace and create evil. I do all these things. Hear my commandments, and your peace shall be like a river. Your righteousness shall be as the waves of the sea. Your seed shall be as the sand, and the offspring of your bowels shall be like the gravel thereof. I will not cut off your name, nor destroy it from before me.

The wicked shall never have any peace, for there is no peace unto the wicked. My word has gone forth out of my mouth. It shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please. It shall prosper in the thing where I sent it. You shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace even the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing. The trees of the field shall clap their hands. Instead of the thorn, shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier, shall come up the myrtle tree. It shall be to me for a name, for an everlasting sign that will not be cut off. I, the Lord, create the fruit of the lips. I have given peace to them that are afar off and to them that are near. I have sent forth my healing into the land, but the wicked are like the troubled sea when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up sludge and filth. There is no peace to the wicked.

To my body, I have brought well being and restoration to health. I will cure them and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth. I came into the world to prepare these things for you. I came to give light to them that once sat in darkness and in the shadow of death. I came to guide your feet into the way of peace. Do not be detoured into the way of violence. I have closed off that path and led you in the way of perfect peace. Peace be unto you today and forevermore. Glory in the highest and on earth, peace and good will unto you. My peace have I given unto you, not as the world gives, but I give my peace unto you. Now let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Though you have tribulations, be of good cheer, I have overcome the world. Now grace and peace be unto you. You have the peace of God and are justified by faith. You have access by faith into the grace of God, and you stand in this grace. Now rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Follow peace with all men, also holiness, for without them, no man shall see me. Now rejoice in the peace of God.

RE: RHEMA - Peace That Passes All Understanding In the Midst of Terror

Jesus took the disciples through more than one storm to demonstrate the peace that was available to everyone. When every possible circumstance is blowing and moving against our journey, we can be assured that we are going through. One of the most telling examples of our human tendencies to fear and fret is when they said, "Carest thou not that we perish?" Fear takes the form of the worst lie. Jesus came to earth for the very purpose that we would not perish. Perfect love casteth out fear. The torment and terror of fear works to undo our confidence in the protection that God has continually promised. As we go through the storms of life, we never come to desire them, but we know that by past experience he will take us to the other side.

Nelson Rockerfellow, one of America's richest men, said he would give all he possessed for one minute of peace. We have such a treasure in our lives that will stand when the winds and rain of resistance are blowing against us. Our faith will take us into the desired haven. God will grant us a calm inwardly in the midst of every storm. We are instructed that we should be the peace makers, for they shall be called the children of God. We are the example of the reign of the prince of peace in our lives. In the midst of a world filled with anger and offense, we can come before the presence of the Almighty with singing and praise. We do not have to become the channels or instruments of wrath and violent, negative emotions. We are vessels of mercy and not of wrath. In the midst of our peace, the world will see one of the greatest revelations of the Lord. If we ever feel storm tossed and afflicted, we have the confirmation that he will always rescue and establish our going. We will not be washed away by the flood as we hear the voice of the Lord. Our house will endure and stand all the tests of time.

RHEMA

RE: RHEMA - The Voice of the Evening Time Guarantees the Birth of Miracles

The Rhema that came to Mary was certain that nothing was impossible with God. As God created in the beginning with his voice, so is he doing in the last days.

Yesterday as I was praying for this day's services, the Spirit of the Lord came to me and said,

Light and sound will demonstrate a demonstration of my power in a magnitude never before seen in the earth. Revelation will remove the walls of obstruction and tradition. My utterance sends forth hosts of heavenly hosts to defeat the foes that have been assembled against my church. What will be uttered in the ears of my faithful servants, will become more powerful than any technology man has ever considered. My words will not only sweep aside oceans of resistance, but they will absorb the deep seas of hurt and pain that have tried to drown multitudes. All the words you have uttered that have not seemed to bring forth will bring forth fruit overnight as the rod did before my oracle. Prayers that have seemed to be stored in forgotten files will be the front page story of heaven's declaration. All of this I will do for my great name's sake. All the lies and skepticism that have been cast into your face will be swept away like dust before the wind. Do not fret of the loud voices of those who declare that miracles are few and far between. Soon, even they will be amazed at the multitude of the miracles that will multiply throughout the land.

I allowed nature to teach you how to survive in this life.

20. Did you learn nature's lesson?

21. Will you join the multitudes that are falling away and being devoured by the predators of the hour?

22. Doesn't nature teach you that there are wiles of evil outside of the light of good?

Listen to the voice of wisdom and experience that is speaking to you plainly.

23. Will you impose captivity upon yourself?

24. Or will you enjoin yourself unto the freedom that is graced unto you by the truth?

Many have not found their places in the kingdom because they have not identified themselves with love, godliness, and contentment. Until worldliness has been despised and holiness embraced, then their God-given positions in the kingdom are hidden from the eyes of those who love not the truth. While the carnal hope for a position in me without love and commitment, the roaring lion and beast of the darkness seek for them as prey. The leaders have sounded the alarm, but the carnal are walking into the traps of corruption and destruction willingly. Instead of winning the lost, the carnal spend their time running from their predators and even leading those they bring to the kingdom into the death traps of their enemies.

25. How will you win souls to me without loving the beauty of holiness?

26. If the souls you bring identify with your worldliness, then how will they escape the predators of the darkness?
