Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

I am the great, glorious God, and I have no ego problem. I am expressing to you the greatness of my wondrous works. Your thoughts of me are too small. Your concepts of me are too weak. The enemy has stifled you many times because you do not understand how great I am. Behold my greatness. Behold how gracious I am. How will your children grow in grace and in the knowledge of me unless you express the abundance of my compassion and my mercy unto them?

Open your mouth, and speak of the glory of my kingdom. Talk of my power unto the people. Express the tender mercies of the Lord in words that they can understand. I am going to fill the earth with my mighty acts. I shall show the glorious majesty of my kingdom in these last days. My kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and my dominion endures throughout all generations. Because the time is short, does not mean that I am shortening my grace or my power. I am opening my hand and satisfying your desires for my good things. Call upon me, and behold the power of my name and its security.

(RHEMA: Express the Abundance of God's Compassion and Mercy)

The Lord is the great, glorious God, and he has no ego problem. He is expressing to me the greatness of his wondrous works. My thoughts of him are too small. My concepts of him are too weak. The enemy has stifled me many times because I do not understand how great he is. I behold his greatness and how gracious he is. My children will not grow in grace and in the knowledge of God unless I express the abundance of his compassion and his mercy unto them. I open my mouth and speak of the glory of his kingdom. I talk of his power unto the people. I express the tender mercies of the Lord in words that they can understand. He is going to fill the earth with his mighty acts. He shall show the glorious majesty of his kingdom in these last days. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion endures throughout all generations. Because the time is short, does not mean that he is shortening his grace or his power. He is opening his hand and satisfying my desires for his good things. I call upon the Lord and behold the power of his name and its security.

Cast Not Away Your Confidence, For There Is a Great Remuneration In Your Conviction

Do you trust me?

Then believe my word. Many seek proof and signs, but I say, "I have given you a sign, the sign of the prophet Jonas." I was in the heart of the earth three days and three nights. I died, was buried, and arose again on the third day. I conquered death and rose victoriously over it. Now believe that I will conquer all your foes, and you will rise victoriously over all of them. Doubt's shadow could not reach high enough to bring the resurrection under its shadow. The resurrection soared far above the darkness of doubt. Now justification holds a light that has totally terminated the power of doubt in your life. Doubt only has the power that you give it. Doubt's shadow can only influence you if you are going the wrong way. Look in faith's direction, and the shadow of doubt will always remain behind you. Do not allow your faith to be undetermined. The truth of your belief will never change; therefore, hold fast to your confession. You do not have to fear shame. I will not leave you or forsake you. The questions that you have heard in your ears are not from me. My promises are not questionable. Never hesitate to believe my word. I am faithful. The enemy desires you to distrust me. How can you please me if you do not trust me?

This trial will teach you to be a better warrior against fear. How will you ward off fear, unless you are perfected in love?

Many seek to be successful against doubt and fear. There is no success against them without faith and love. Faith works by love. Now abides faith, hope, and charity. The greatest of these is love. Doubt depends on a wrong mental attitude so that it may defeat you. Live by every word that proceeds out of my mouth, and your mind will remain focused. Your mind is defective in knowledge. It is defective in evidence; therefore, your human judgment will always be distorted. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Rhema of God. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen; therefore, doubt's effects are unsettled when you walk by faith. There are no suspicions, apprehensions, and fears when you walk by faith that is worked by love. Faith is great. Allow it to work for you. Without the work of faith, faith is dead. I have given you a working faith. It is very profitable.

Reach in your bag of confidence. There is a great remuneration there for you. The enemy has attempted to seduce you so that you would cast away your confidence. Remember, you have need of patience so that after you have done the will of God, you might receive the promise. You are justified, and the just shall live by faith. Do not draw back in this time of testing. You are not of those who draw back unto perdition, but you are of those that believe to the saving of the soul. Your hope is not in silver and gold. Your hope is in the God of all gods, your confidence and exceeding great reward. Continue to trust me. I am faithful.

RE: RHEMA - Peace Abiding In the Face of a Silent Predator Whose Intent Is To Pervert Your Worship

Our worship is because of what God is. Our inability or failure has nothing to do with our ability to worship the King of kings. Before time began and after it ends, he will be the focus and center of all the universe. Worship put us in the throne room of the Prince of peace. He will keep us in perfect peace as our minds are constantly upon him and not on any other distractions. As we love him and his laws, we will have peace, and nothing shall arise to disturb that peace. Anger has become the addictive drug of choice of this hour. It affects the human brain and body much like other abused substances. Our enemy has made it easy for us to get a high out of being upset and filled with anger. People will always be pawns of the enemy that will try to arouse our ire and involvement that God will fight the battle for us. Our thoughts and worship are the intimate property of the lover of our soul. Peace that flows from him is the guardian of our minds. Our enemy has no right to the intimacy that we have with our beloved.

DOUBT, FEAR, AND LOSS OF CONFIDENCE

I trust the Lord, and I believe his word. Many seek proof and signs, but he says, "I have given you a sign, the sign of the prophet Jonas." He was in the heart of the earth three days and three nights. Jesus died, was buried, and arose again on the third day. He conquered death and rose victoriously over it. Now I believe that he will conquer all my foes, and I will rise victoriously over all of them. Doubt's shadow could not reach high enough to bring the resurrection under its shadow. The resurrection soared far above the darkness of doubt. Now justification holds a light that has totally terminated the power of doubt in my life. Doubt only has the power that I give it. Doubt's shadow can only influence me if I am going the wrong way. I look in faith's direction, and the shadow of doubt will always remain behind me. I am determined not to allow my faith to be undetermined. The truth of my belief will never change; therefore, I hold fast to my confession. I do not have to fear shame. The Lord will not leave me or forsake me. The questions that I have heard in my ears are not from him. His promises are not questionable. I must never hesitate to believe his word. He is faithful. The enemy desires me to distrust him. I cannot please him if I do not trust him.

This trial will teach me to be a better warrior against fear. I can only ward off fear if I am perfected in love. Many seek to be successful against doubt and fear. There is no success against them without faith and love. Faith works by love. Now abides faith, hope, and charity. The greatest of these is love.

INSPIRATION

RE: RHEMA - Polish Your Horns of Praise, and Allow Your Praises To Be a Horn That Sounds the Testimonies of God's Faithfulness

The symphony of the miraculous has been scored for the ages. Now our magnificent Director has assembled enough participants to lift up the instruments of praise and begin the intro with gusto. All the circumstances that presently surround us will be the back drop to contrast his greatness with our inability. His supernatural work is the carpet laid into barren rooms of those who have never experienced his greatness. His proceeding work will swallow up all the conventional wisdom and logic in its sweeping impact. Words must be spoken to open the flood gates of creation. Behind the curtains of the visible await the fresh designs of deity's delight. All the noise of other instrumentation that is playing to drown out the triumph of his power will be silenced by the cries of those experiencing the miraculous.

There are unbelievers among the people of God. They do not agree with me; therefore, they will not agree with you. I have allowed them to grow among you. They will not agree with you. Many of them are consumed with covetousness. They are idolaters.

116. What agreement does the temple of God have with idols?

I am the light of the world. The whole world lies in wickedness and darkness. I have sent you to be a light unto the world; therefore, take heed to yourselves, and forgive one another as I have forgiven you. You cannot say that you are exercising real faith if you forgive not your brother. Go and shine the light of love as you show forth faith that will move the huge trees of unforgiveness in the earth.

117. How can you say that you have supped with me when you are not plucking up the trees of unforgiveness?

Go and speak the word, and these trees shall be plucked up by their roots.

118. How shall the world behold the love of God if you are not thankful?

Come and dine with me. Come, eat and drink. I have knocked on your heart. You answered the knock. Now sit down, and sup with me. I have a chief meal to serve you. I have spiritual communion awaiting you.

119. How will you express the fruit of the cup of the New Testament in my blood if you come not to the table of prayer and fellowship with me?

I ate the Passover with the disciples before I suffered. I knew I would suffer, yet I ate the Passover with them.

120. Have you drawn back from fellowship with me because of your sufferings?
