Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

Do not feel unwanted when I exercise my authority over you. Many of my children are wandering in the chambers of bondage because they resent my authority. I am protecting you, but I am also educating you and maintaining your relationship with me. Allow me, your parent, to teach you about unfeigned love. I have not come to consult with you. I have come to teach you. Accept the teachings of love, and you will regard the walls of my commandments as beautiful structures of protection given by your God and his government. These commandments are beautiful. They are not grievous. Climb to the heights of obedience unto them, and behold their wisdom and their beauty. The wisdom and the beauty of these walls cannot be viewed from platforms of irreverence and disobedience. Worship and praise on the walls of obedience. The blessings are appreciated and understood from there.

(RHEMA: God Is Faithful To Perform His Responsibilities To Us As a Parent)

I realize that God is faithful to perform his duties and responsibilities to me as my parent. I will not feel unwanted when he exercises his authority over me. Many of his children are wandering in the chambers of bondage because they resent his authority. The Lord is protecting me, but he is also educating me and maintaining my relationship with him. I will allow him, my parent, to teach me about unfeigned love. He has not come to consult with me. He has come to teach me. I accept the teachings of love, and I will regard the walls of his commandments as beautiful structures of protection given by my God and his government. These commandments are beautiful. They are not grievous. I climb to the heights of obedience unto them and behold their wisdom and their beauty. The wisdom and the beauty of these walls cannot be viewed from platforms of irreverence and disobedience. I worship and praise on the walls of obedience. The blessings are appreciated and understood from there.

God Granting Victory Over the Proud, the Whisperers, and the Backbiters

A great commotion and confusion is in the land. Many are being taken by this turmoil. The spirits that are responsible for this tumult are masters at engaging people in an upheaval of destruction. This is a typical war tactic of the enemy. You are not ignorant of the devil's devices. You are trained in warfare, so be not caught unaware of the strategies of the enemy of your soul. Humble yourself under my mighty hand. I will exalt you in due time. Die not as a fool the way many are committing spiritual suicide. We are living in the closing hours of my church upon the earth. Be wise, and win the lost. Be wise, and save yourself from this untoward generation. Instability is a state of disorder. Your standing has been disturbed and confused if you are not stable. Many are as unstable as water. Allow my grace to grant you stability in this hour. Don't you know that he who is unstable is also riotous?

An enemy sent the trouble that has come your way. Many are in an uproar because of the trouble that has come their way. Their pride will put them to shame, and dishonor shall be their reward. He that believes on me shall not be ashamed. How can you say that you believe on me and do not believe on those who I have sent?

Your entire house shall be in confusion if you listen to the voice of wrath that speaks loudly in this hour. If you think you are great of yourself, then you walk after the spirit of error, and the spirit of truth is far from you. I seek the humble in heart and resist the proud. Choose not to dwell with those who are being brought low because of their pride, but choose to dwell with the lowly and humble of heart. Everyone that is proud and lofty, shall be brought low. Those who are high and lifted up shall be brought to naught. The fear of the Lord is to hate evil, pride, and arrogance. Abide by these admonitions, and you shall not be moved. Pride goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall. Why choose to fight the leviathans of the spirit when you have no defense against them being proud in your heart?

The contention among you has arisen because of the pride in your midst, for only by pride does contention come. A man's pride shall bring him low, but honor shall uphold the humble in spirit. I shall stay the proud waves among you, and they shall go not further. Back away while I humble the proud among you. They have turned unto lies. Now shall they reap the rewards of the proud. They have slandered my anointed, and now will I cut them off. I will not suffer those who have a high look and a proud heart. The proud are cursed. They do err from my commandments and have followed after the spirit of error. He that is of a proud heart stirs up strife, and he that trusts in his own heart is a fool. Place your trust in me, the Almighty God. I will direct your path and grant you victory over the whisperers and the backbiters. I only have respect unto the lowly, but the proud, I know from afar off. Their house shall be destroyed. They did not keep their mouths and their tongues; therefore, their souls shall be troubled.

Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of your God so that he may exalt you in due time. Cast all your cares upon me, for I care for you. Be sober, be vigilant because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him in the faith. The God of all grace will make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, and settle you.

RE: RHEMA - God Granting Victory Over the Proud, the Whisperers, and the Backbiters

"Who is as deaf as my servant?" is a strange paradox in the book of Isaiah 42:19. In the next verse, it is explained a little. He opens ears but heareth not. How do we explain the miraculous power of opening the deaf ears and not hearing?

I believe that God can make us supernaturally deaf to any distractions that keep us from hearing his voice! God will make us to hear joy and gladness that rings louder than all the voices of confusion. Contradictory voices will always be raised against the purpose of God, but the Lord will always supply a choir that will sing and dance louder. In Psalms 40, David said that, "The Lord heard our cry and delivered us from a horrible pit." Horrible in the Hebrew means "noise and confusion." Satan would like for us to fall into pits of noise and confusion when the Lord will establish our going by setting our feet on the rock then we will begin to sing the new song to the Lord. Many will see it, and trust in the Lord. What is the enemy trying to prevent us from hearing? Verse 40:5 invites us to hear the very thoughts of the mind of God toward us when we have turned other voices off.

CONFUSION, COMMOTION, AND CONTENTION

A great commotion and confusion is in the land. Many are being taken by this turmoil. The spirits that are responsible for this tumult are masters at engaging people in an upheaval of destruction. This is a typical war tactic of the enemy. I am not ignorant of the devil's devices. I am trained in warfare, so I will not be caught unaware of the strategies of the enemy of my soul. I humble myself under the Lord's mighty hand. He will exalt me in due time. I purpose not to die as a fool the way many are committing spiritual suicide. We are living in the closing hours of his church upon the earth. I must be wise, and win the lost. I must be wise and save myself from this untoward generation. Instability is a state of disorder. My standing has been disturbed and confused if I am not stable. Many are as unstable as water. I allow God's grace to grant me stability in this hour. I know that he who is unstable is also riotous. An enemy sent the trouble that has come my way. Many are in an uproar because of the trouble that has come their way. Their pride will put them to shame, and dishonor shall be their reward. He that believes on Jesus shall not be ashamed. There is no way that I cannot say that I believe on him and do not believe on those who he has sent.

My entire house shall be in confusion if I listen to the voice of wrath that speaks loudly in this hour. If I think I am great of myself, then I walk after the spirit of error, and the spirit of truth is far from me. God seeks the humble in heart and resists the proud. I choose not to dwell with those who are being brought low because of their pride, but I choose to dwell with the lowly and humble of heart. Everyone that is proud and lofty, shall be brought low. Those who are high and lifted up shall be brought to naught. The fear of the Lord is to hate evil, pride, and arrogance. I am determined to abide by these admonitions, and I shall not be moved. Pride goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall. It is foolish to choose to fight the leviathans of the spirit when I have no defense against them being proud in my heart.

The contention among us has arisen because of the pride in our midst, for only by pride does contention come. A man's pride shall bring him low, but honor shall uphold the humble in spirit. He shall stay the proud waves among us, and they shall go not further. I will back away while he humbles the proud among us. They have turned unto lies. Now shall they reap the rewards of the proud. They have slandered his anointed, and now will he cut them off. He will not suffer those who have a high look and a proud heart. The proud are cursed. They do err from his commandments and have followed after the spirit of error. He that is of a proud heart stirs up strife, and he that trusts in his own heart is a fool. I place my trust in Lord, the Almighty God. He will direct my path and grant me victory over the whisperers and the backbiters. He only has respect unto the lowly, but the proud, he knows from afar off. Their house shall be destroyed. They did not keep their mouths and their tongues; therefore, their souls shall be troubled. I choose to humble myself under the mighty hand of my God so that he may exalt me in due time. I cast all my cares upon him, for he cares for me. I choose to be sober and to be vigilant because my adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour. I resist him in the faith. The God of all grace will make me perfect, stablish, strengthen, and settle me.

RHEMA

By Don Grigsby

I was praying and this came to me.

My eternal power brings to you words that the waves cannot whisper and the thunder cannot shout. Mighty waves of the sea sit in tranquil silence at the voice of their creator. Listen, you instruments of praise, and hear the mystery of the end times. So many voices have said "no" to what I have said "yes" to again and again. Only those listening for my expressions of greatness will have these treasures whispered in their ears. Every structure and association that wraps itself around the things that will be dissolved, will melt in the destruction that is inherent in itself. All those who have attached themselves to the arrows of my light and the shock waves of my thundering voice will ride in the chariots of war with me. These have lifted their voices, and the winds of the critical and cynical have tried to howl them into silence. Those who have tried to silence them will be held up for rebuke because their own failures that they tried to cover up will shout louder than any trustworthiness they would try to set forth in themselves. The thunder of my power will cause them to stand in muted silence in awe of my displayed power. They will fall into the streets as the casualties of the waves of promises fulfilled come riding down the streets in the chariot thrones of my salvation. My salvation will ride upon the wings of grace to the ends of the earth and sweep away the lies and derogatory statements.

Feel the wind of my greatness now as it descends into the deepest pits of failure and reveals the treasures I had hidden there. Statues of the efforts of men will crumble into dust before the shock waves of my Words of power. I say to all you that think you have it figured out, "Who is holy and who is righteous. Think again." You have no righteousness except I give it to you. If you cannot accept the words of righteousness that would be uttered into your lives, then you will have nothing at all unless I preserve you with righteous words of my prophets that you have banished to the wilderness of rejection. All those who set themselves as learned, shall appear as fools. All those who think they know, will be left with their own empty thoughts because they cannot grasp one event of my power.

All those who have tried to extinguish the influence of the inspiration of prophecy, will be destroyed by the flames of inspiration they have tried to put out. All those who have said, "God did not say it," their words shall be burned across the face of their own shame as they look for a word of help but will not find it because they have seared their own sensitivity to that which would be the way of deliverance out of their own despair.

Look to the end of this journey, and behold those who wear the garment of praise at the end. I have placed the garment of praise upon you. Now do not wear the garment of heaviness again. Look to the author and the finisher of your faith. Your author has not come to you and promised rejection. I have come and sealed the completion of the work that I started. I started a good work in you, and I will perform the work. You have looked to yourself and found emptiness. Come from the self-centeredness of your own mind, and behold the power of your God and the promise. I have promised.

57. Will I not perform what I promised?

Look unto the completion of the work. You have looked at the adversary long enough. Look away from his show in the dark. His demonstration of actions without power to carry out his plan has fallen to the ground. Now look at the slain warriors of evil in the distance, and behold the church rejoice on the tombstones of evil persecutors. I am the Lord. I do all things well.

58. Will I do a bad work in your presence when I have promised you revival and victory?

I heard your cry. When you cried out unto me beside your bed for your little one, I heard your cry. Your words unto me did not fall upon deaf ears, neither were your prayers in vain. I heard your cry, and I delivered her. I am the same God who has delivered her many times in the past.

59. Will I suffer her to be destroyed by the hands of infirmity?

Many are directed by speculative power and not by my power and my spirit. They are directed by what they see, recall, determine, and think. Be directed by my spirit and my power then will the force in your life be of me and not of yourself. Your power is not adequate to accomplish the things that must be done, for without me you can do nothing. Do not determine that you are a wheel or an axle because you can produce motion. Though you may be able to move people with your words, that does not mean you are producing true spirituality. The false prophets move people by their words, and many lying signs and false wonders are seen among them, yet they make the people twice the children of hell that they would have been.

60. What are you producing in the people that you minister unto?
