Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

The word of the Lord stands sure and immovable. My words shall not pass away. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall remain. Trust in that which will last forever. Allow not temptation to persuade you to doubt my faithfulness. I will not suffer you to be tempted above that you are able but will, with the temptation, also make a way to escape so that you may be able to bear it. The revolving door of temptation has caused many to be preoccupied as wanderers because they have not taken the exit to escape. Temptation, oftentimes, travels in a circular path. Pledge not to travel around and around after its enticement. Put your hands to the plow, and press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God. In Christ Jesus, the God of peace will sanctify you wholly and preserve you blameless unto my coming. Rest in my peace. Be assured that I called you, and I will preserve you. I am faithful. I am stablishing you and keeping you from all evil. Always pray, "Lead me not into temptation, and deliver me from evil." I will keep you from the evil one and his evil plots. My duty and obligation to you is real. You are born under the government of God and into an everlasting kingdom. I have vowed faithfulness to those born of incorruptible seed by the word of God. You are not an alien. You are a citizen of my kingdom. My kingdom has everlasting peace. The Prince of Peace won your peace. He carried the key of the house of David and opened unto you David's sure mercies.

I will not allow temptation to persuade me to doubt his faithfulness. He will not suffer me to be tempted above that I am able but will with the temptation, also, make a way to escape so that I may be able to bear it.

In Christ Jesus, the God of peace will sanctify me wholly and preserve me blameless unto his coming. I rest in the Lord's peace. I am assured that he has called me, and he will preserve me. He is faithful. He is establishing me and keeping me from all evil. By grace, I will always pray, "Lead me not into temptation, and deliver me from evil." He will keep me from the evil one and his evil plots. His duty and obligation to me is real. I am born under the government of God and into an everlasting kingdom.

Preach the Gospel While Miracles Are Approaching Speedily In the Distance

The light of the glorious gospel cannot be hidden from those that shall be heirs of salvation. Go and preach the gospel. Many shall find the words of salvation. Many are seeking; therefore, they shall find. Go and preach the gospel of deliverance, and regret not the efforts of faith. I have sent the light of deliverance, and the captives shall go free. Go and declare that I have sent the prisoners out of the pit where there is no water. I have given the waters of life. Now shall the fish of the redeemed swim in the channels of my faithfulness. They shall come to the house of the redeemed, and you shall catch them for my name's sake. Lift up your voice, and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ. Be not anxious because of the misunderstandings that surround you. These misunderstandings are the weapons of the enemy, which are sent forth to confuse you. Be not weary in this time of sowing. You will reap, and come to the glorious places in Christ that are appointed for those who love me. I have already worked out all the things that are presented to you as impossibilities. Know of a truth, I have made you free by my blood and because of my name. Rejoice in the miracles in the distance. They are coming hurriedly with surety and with power.

RE: RHEMA - Preach the Gospel While Miracles Are Approaching Speedily In the Distance

Fear holds the captives of its threats in the darkness. Revelation brings to light the good news that has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light. In the sowing and planting of the initial words of truth, is contained the harvest of coming miracles. Receiving the Holy Ghost into our lives allows us into the arena of the supernatural. We should never view our birth into the supernatural kingdom of God as the total blessing that we will receive. His kingdom continues to increase in signs and wonders following the believer. As we are obedient to the command to preach the gospel, the blessings of miracles will run us down. Our enemies will flee in many directions, and the power of God will be seen over us as the arrows of the lightning.

INSPIRATION

RE: Rhema - Make Your Decision Concerning Life and Death At the Throne of Grace Today

Grace has been given the highest dominion of all the working of God. It is truly the spiritual chariot throne of deliverance that all the prophets saw riding in the heavens. Even David saw a glimpse of it in the 68th Psalm. Grace takes any situation and issue of life and frames it in the proper perspective. If our attitudes in life are always directed from the throne of grace, then even the most negative situation will not rule over us, but we will reign in life through the judgments of his throne of grace. If Israel had harkened to his voice, they would have remained in the land forever, and God would have subdued all their enemies before them, and they would not have remained to be thorns in their side. Gospel truth, couched in the terms of grace, leads us to the only righteousness that can be imputed to our account. Grace is the paradox in salvation and death. Death is turned inside out by obedience to the burial in baptism and its infilling of the Spirit of Grace. Mercy and grace are the open doors into deliverance from rebellion into the freedom of the law of the spirit of life. Its chambers cause the chambers of pleasure to look like trash compared to the treasures of his blessing we find there.

Look to the one who is making intercession for you. He died for you and is raised again. Now only believe that love is on your side and that nothing can separate you from the love of Christ. The Holy Ghost that is freely given to you sheds it abroad in your heart.

76. What value do you place on the Holy Ghost that resides in your body?

77. Then is there any thing that I will not give unto you?

You are allowing the words that have been given to you to slip from your heart. You have received an abundance of prophecies. Do not allow these things that you have heard to slip. Give a more earnest heed to all these things that are spoken in your ears, for this is the Rhema of God.

78. How are you going to escape if you are neglecting these things?

Greet me not with tears of complaints, but greet me with gladness. I have said, "Serve me with gladness and come before my presence with singing." First, present me with a bouquet of praises, instead of a flood of tears that water the thorns that have created the pains in your life. Replace the weeping willows of the mourner with a high new song of life and victorious expectation. Resist the temptation to bring to me a deep death song of the blues and of mourning. Many are controlled by grief, sorrow, and regret; therefore, they come to me as weak lamenting worshippers of their problems and their emotions. Wear not the willows given you by unbelief, but rather adorn yourself with the garment of praise. Wear not sackcloth and ashes, but wear the breastplate of faith and love.

79. Where is your helmet?

Your helmet is the hope of salvation.

80. Did you come to my throne with the hope of salvation or with your head bowed to your troubles?
