Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

The afflictions in your life are light. They are working for you a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. Allow these afflictions to be used for my purpose in your life, and then will you realize that I have designed these things for your profit that you might be a partaker of my holiness. There is coming the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto you; therefore, rejoice in the face of these grievous things that are happening. Grace and more grace have been supplied unto you; therefore, look diligently, and do not fail of this grace that is freely given to you. If you fail of this grace, a root of bitterness will spring up and trouble you. Everyone that comes into fellowship with you will be defiled by the bitterness that will surely overtake you if you fail of grace. Give grace, and you will receive grace. Freely you have received it; now freely give it. Grace has supplied you with an inheritance. Do not sell it as a spiritual fornicator. Many have been rejected because they found no place of repentance when they sought their inheritance even with tears.

The afflictions in my life are light. They are working for me a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. I will allow these afflictions to be used for God's purpose in my life and then will I realize that God has designed these things for my profit that I may be a partaker of his holiness. There is coming the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto me; therefore, I will rejoice in the face of these grievous things that are happening. Grace and more grace have been supplied unto me; therefore, I will look diligently and will not fail of this grace that is freely given to me. If I fail of this grace, a root of bitterness will spring up and trouble me. Everyone that comes into fellowship with me will be defiled by the bitterness that will surely overtake me if I fail of grace. I determine in my mind to give grace, and I will receive grace. Freely, I have received it; now I will freely give it. Grace has supplied me with an inheritance. Now I will not sell it as a spiritual fornicator. Many have been rejected because they found no place of repentance when they sought their inheritance even with tears.

The Expression of the Resurrection’s Unrestrained Power In Our Hearts Liberates from the Vise of the Dark Jaws of Intimidation

(Part 1)

Do not be distracted from the purpose. There are opposing spirits whose tactics are mighty in the art of distraction. They are masters of distraction. Focus your attention on me, and set your affections on things that are above and not on things that are below. Stand and profess a good profession before many witnesses while you maintain faith in my blood, not loving your own life unto the death. The spirit of distraction desires to steal your opportunity to win the lost and to inspire others to win the lost. Do not be drawn away after the wave of distraction that has come as a buffeting intimidation in your life. Simply receive of the criticisms that come your way. Hand these things to me, and I will fight for you. The battle is mine and not yours. I will swat this intimidator, and the blow of my strength shall smash the originator and the vessel of this evil inspiration and influence.

I have come to enlighten you. My love is not predicated on the desires of sensual and devilish elements of the age, neither am I persuaded by those who seek to destroy my anointed ones and abort my redemption. Redemption cannot be aborted, for it is an expression of the resurrection. The resurrection shall not be held back by the influences of the night or by the jaws of death that seek to hold on to purpose. The jaws of the night have reached forth to jam the expression that I have sent through you. That which has clamped down upon your mind and threatened you shall be smitten and overcome in a short space of time. I shall speak, and it shall be done.

RE: RHEMA - The Expression of the Resurrection's Unrestrained Power In Our Hearts Liberates from the Vise of the Dark Jaws of Intimidation - Part 1

The resurrection is the main attraction. There are no sideshows that can be on the same stage with the power of creation. Resurrection power is creative power that has been revived again in our lives. Creative power in the voice of Adam died in the garden but has been resurrected by the power of the Holy Ghost. We will not be distracted by the voices of squeaky mice when the thunder of a river of mighty revival is coming down the canyons of life. Voices of the night may say that the light is going out, but heaven has just announced a power surge because the Sun of righteousness is just bursting forth with a solar storm of revelation. The greatest expression of all time is about to be written on a scroll that the heavens cannot be a desk for. Hearts of men that are tattered and torn will soon be dripping in the fresh inks of redemption if we will but never cease to worship at the redeemer's feet.

INSPIRATION

By Don Grigsby

RE: RHEMA - A Word from God At a Time of a Great Falling Away

Every kind of word, preacher, and teacher is going forth in this hour. Many are speaking out of their own prejudice about the spiritual things that they have no right to judge. God will allow them to hear their own voice and follow it into a wilderness where they will wish for a real word to come to them but will not find it because they have refused the real thing for the fabricated and fraudulent. They will persecute the real prophets, but they will look for one as Saul did when real trouble comes. All their false accusations will be as the passing wind, it will vanish as soon as it came.

God will show those that are his and expose the folly of those who are eating from a table that the Lord did not prepare. Their very spirit will bleed through their self- righteous garments to expose the shedders of innocent blood that they have become. They trample the reputations of others while they think they are building one of their own. Their reputation will be repudiated on high.

All those who despise the working of prophecy will be caught in the whirlwind of their own fatal plans. Many try to be spiritual Hamans, but the destruction they prepare for others will be their own eulogy. We are not forced by fear into some corner. We are standing upon the firm foundation that will never fail. Those who have forsaken the tables of plenty and the land that truly flows with milk and honey will have the famine for hearing of the Word that God will send into their lives. They will hunger, but they will find no nourishment for their soul.

(Continued)

In me, you have been brought to an end. By the cross, you have already ceased to live. It is I who lives in you.

488. What testimony is being lived through you?

Your life is hidden in God through Christ. I will show myself openly.

489. If you have not allowed me to live my life out in you, how will you be glorified with me?
