Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

Say unto the voices of condemnation and despair, "Be removed from my ear and cast into the sea of silence. Be removed, and do not return to my ear, for the blood of Jesus has been applied to my ears."

(RHEMA: God Will Enforce Our Actions of Faith)

I say unto the voices of condemnation and despair, "Be removed from my ear and cast into the sea of silence. Be removed, and do not return to my ear, for the blood of Jesus has been applied to my ears."

Confidence from God While Abiding Under the Blanket of Adversity

The covering that came to you was not cellophane, but it was the blanket of the adversary. This blanket was thrown your way to keep you from the presence granted you by my fellowship. I cannot be shut out by the blanket of the enemy, nor the feelings in your humanity. I live inside of you. There is nothing that can shut me out because I have already entered and live in you. Do not be discouraged because of the weariness in your body. I am not swayed by your feelings. Lean on the arms of faith, and recognize my love for you, which is eternal and everlasting. I am not persuaded because of your feelings, but I am persuaded because of your faith. Believe on me, and behold the miracle in the presence of angels.

RE: RHEMA - Confidence from God While Abiding Under the Blanket of Adversity

Atonement in the New or Old Testament is about the covering for our sin. God never does anything for us that is not an overflow or abundant work. His blood and atonement does not only wash us and cover us from sin, but it is a shield and protection from the attack of the enemy. Our confidence is not in our own ability to win the battle, but the battle is always the Lord's. Our battle is always in confidently giving it to him. God seems to constantly allow battles that are so overwhelming to come to us that we cannot possibly win them so that we will confidently trust him completely. Adversity will be caught in the avalanche of God’s power as our faith opens the door of God's eternal power. .

ADVERSITY AND HUMAN FEELINGS

The covering that came to me was not cellophane, but it was the blanket of the adversary. This blanket was thrown my way to keep me from the presence granted me by God’s fellowship. The Lord cannot be shut out by the blanket of the enemy, nor the feelings in my humanity. He lives inside of me. There is nothing that can shut him out because he has already entered and lives in me. I will not be discouraged because of the weariness in my body. The Lord is not swayed by my feelings. I lean on the arms of faith and recognize his love for me, which is eternal and everlasting. God is not persuaded because of my feelings, but he is persuaded because of my faith. I believe on Jesus, and I behold the miracle in the presence of angels.

INSPIRATION

RE: RHEMA - Christ Must Live His Life Through You, and You Must Live Through Him

Calvary spoke the volumes of speech that man could never utter. God is for us and with us to the ultimate degree. Ideas of fear and abandonment should be strangers and trespassers in our lives. God cast the dimensions of his plan of redemption before the world began. Everything that I will ever need was created in him before I would ever exist. Now that we occupy a part of this stage, the director of the ages will make everything to work for us to be a living testimony of his faithfulness. Mercy paid in full before hand any debt that I would incur. I am free from the fears of being held hostage to any situation that would come my way. Love commended our position in the relationship we now walk in before him. No wonder he said that no man could pluck us out of his hand. We have his design and imprint upon our lives. God has been and continues to develop a people zealous of love and good works. Faith worketh by love is the watchword of our lives. Love will demonstrate his greatness and unfailing character to others. As it has been written that love never fails, so his word and purpose in us will never fail.

(Continued)

Many wise men desire to experience what you are experiencing and have not experienced it. Rejoice, for I have been good to you. You deserved to die, but I gave you grace instead of judgment. Go and do for others what I have done for you. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. Lay up mercy in the vault of heaven, and you will be able to stand in the evil days ahead.

479. How will you stand if you have not been merciful to others who have sinned against you?
