Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

I have not passed you by in your dilemma. I have observed the entire operation of Impossibility's plan. No matter how well structured the plan of Impossibility, it is too weak for my strength. No matter how well planned the design of defeat, victory is more successful on your behalf. I will show you of the glory of my love and compassion. Believe me. I will not pass you by while you are drowning in confusion. There is no storm of confusion that can drown a child of mine while I am watching with the careful eyes of love and concern. I am the true Savior of the world, not one of the false saviors of the earth. I am calling on you as I am calling on others at the same time. You have come to the throne of mercy. Now believe that at the throne of mercy, there is help for your unbelief. I am helping your unbelief right now. Lean on these strong arms of compassion, and rest from the stress of this dilemma. Rest from your weariness, which has come by trusting in a human and fleshly answer and source. You have knelt at my throne. My throne will be the place where your unbelief is destroyed. I have heard your cry; therefore, shout for the glorious triumph on your behalf by the arms of faithfulness. Do you believe in miracles?

Then prepare for one. How many do you need?

Then prepare for more than you need.

(RHEMA: The Magnitude of Impossibility's Range Must Be Compared To God's Range of Power)

God has not passed me by in my dilemma. He has observed the entire operation of Impossibility's plan. No matter how well structured the plan of Impossibility, it is too weak for his strength. No matter how well planned the design of defeat, victory is more successful on my behalf. The Lord will show me of the glory of his love and compassion. I believe God. He will not pass me by while I am drowning in confusion. There is no storm of confusion that can drown a child of God while he is watching with the careful eyes of love and concern. Our God is the true savior of the world, not one of the false saviors of the earth. He is calling on us as he is calling on others at the same time. I have come to the throne of mercy. I now believe that at the throne of mercy, there is help for my unbelief. God is helping my unbelief right now. I will lean on his strong arms of compassion and rest from the stress of this dilemma. I rest from my weariness, which has come by trusting in a human and fleshly answer and source. I have knelt at the Lord's throne. His throne will be the place where my unbelief is destroyed. The Lord has heard my cry; therefore, I will shout for the glorious triumph on my behalf by the arms of faithfulness. I believe in miracles. I prepare for a miracle. I need many miracles; therefore, I prepare for more miracles than I need.

Wonder Working Power In the Midst of Criticism

I am your source. I am the beginning. Your mind will not alter the difference that I am in your life, for I have designed you to be an overcomer. All these things that have confronted you shall not be a permanent wall for you, but you shall leap over this wall with the power of the resurrection. The enemy has lied and said that he will defeat you, but I am the final authority in all things that pertain unto you. Be not filled with dismay because of your feelings in your flesh. These feelings cannot hinder what I am in you. I am your rock to lean on. I am your stone that slams against the head of your enemies. I am your wheel in the middle of a wheel, your bright and morning star, your lily in this valley, your rose in your Sharon. I am the light in the dark places. I AM. I have never ceased to be, neither will I. I am the Eternal God, the light of the ages and the light of eternity. Be not filled with despair, for I have already overcome the world and all these things.

The night is coming and then no one will be able to work. Work while you have the day, and the Day Star shall be your light for proper vision. When night comes, there will be no light for your work. I have said unto you, "Walk while you have the light, or darkness will come upon you." Don't wait for the light to go out, but make your calling and election sure. Work out your own salvation with fear and with trembling.

Today, I made for my own purpose. I will do a wonder in your midst today. Be not surprised by what I will do, but alert yourself to the seriousness of the hour, and be alerted unto the voice of divinity. I am speaking in this hour, and now you will know and also the doubters and unbelievers shall know. Be not cast down in confidence because of the gainsayers and the despisers, but be encouraged in me, for I have said that, "My word shall not return unto me empty or void." You have eaten from the bowl of prophecy. You did hunger, and you did thirst. Now I do fill you with righteousness and peace. The power of my word shall abound in you, and the truth of prophecy shall come forth unto you this day. Be not disillusioned by the wave of criticism that comes from the gainsayer's son. Be not disillusioned any longer by the wave of the critics. I am the Lord, and I know all things. I do show forth the love of truth, and the love of God shall abound toward you in this time of tribulation. Be not heady, neither be high minded, but be full of faith and confidence, always abounding toward my love with thanksgiving.

Give no place to the devil. He is a liar, and there is no truth in him. Come up higher in fasting and prayer. I will not condemn you if you falter or fail, but know that there are dimensions awaiting you by faith. I do touch you with newness and freshness. I do call forth blessings from my storehouse and place them in your hands. Be alert, for I do a wonder in your midst. Behold the wonder that I do.

RE: RHEMA - Wonder Working Power In the Midst of Criticism

Nehemiah weathered the withering attacks of every enemy within and without as he rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem. Sanballet and Tobiah were right in the house of God heaping ridicule upon all the people of God who were rebuilding the walls. False letters were circulated to civil authorities of false plans of Nehemiah that they would rebel against the King. In chapter six a false prophet was sent to prophecy against Nehemiah. Nehemiah prayed and told God that they thought they could make him afraid but they would not be successful. Then one of the greatest miracles in the Old Testament happened. In fifty two days the wall was finished. We have a modern day parable in this real life happening. As we are about the kingdom's business the Lord has given us a mandate to reach the lost and build up the kingdom. False letters, false prophets, and false brethren will not defeat the building of the wall. God's city has gates of praise and walls of salvation. None can stop the hands of destiny that are in place to bring about the purpose of God. As in chapter four of Nehemiah, it was said, "We will come among them and slay them and thwart what they are doing." But God is great and terrible and will bring their counsel to nought. Nehemiah told Sanballat, Tobiah, and Geshem that they had no portion, nor right, no memorial in Jerusalem. God will erase those who oppose the building of the walls of protection and salvation. In Chapter 13, Tobiah whose name means, "one who masquerades as being pleasing to Jehovah" was thrown out of the temple with all his stuff. No one can stand before the work of the Kingdom. As they celebrated God's wonder working power in chapter eight they were told, "Mourn not, nor weep, neither be ye sorry, for the joy of the Lord is your strength." I feel like God is saying, "You may have wept for a time but healing and wonders will fill your lives like the waves of the sea. Out of the depths of my greatness will come the rolling tide of wonders that will wash on the shores of your expectation. Your hearts that have been broken in pain will be healed in the same hands that hold eternity in place. You are in my hands, and I will never let the feet of the people of my pasture be crushed by any stumbling stone for I AM the stepping stone and the stone rejected by the builders. Your feet will stand within the gates of a heavenly Jerusalem. Clouds of witness and miracles of testimony will precede the triumphant parade."

CRITICISM

Jesus is my source. He is the beginning. My mind will not alter the difference that he is in my life, for he has designed me to be an overcomer. All these things that have confronted me shall not be a permanent wall for me, but I shall leap over this wall with the power of the resurrection. The enemy has lied and said that he will defeat me, but God is the final authority in all things that pertain unto me. I determine not to be filled with dismay because of my feelings in my flesh. These feelings cannot hinder what the Lord is in me. Jesus is my rock to lean on. He is my stone that slams against the head of my enemies. He is my wheel in the middle of a wheel, my bright and morning star, my lily in this valley, my rose in my Sharon. Jesus is the light in the dark places. HE IS. He has never ceased to be, neither will he. He is the Eternal God, the light of the ages and the light of eternity. I will not be filled with despair, for he has already overcome the world and all these things.

The night is coming and then no one will be able to work. I will work while I have the day, and the Day Star shall be my light for proper vision. When night comes, there will be no light for my work. The Lord has said unto me, "Walk while you have the light or darkness will come upon you." I will not wait for the light to go out, but I make my calling and election sure. I will work out my own salvation with fear and with trembling.

God made today for his own purpose. He will do a wonder in my midst. I will not be surprised by what he will do, but I alert myself to the seriousness of the hour, and I am alerted unto the voice of divinity. Jesus is speaking in this hour, and now I will know and also the doubters and unbelievers shall know. I am not cast down in confidence because of the gainsayers and the despisers, but I am encouraged in the Lord, for he has said that his word shall not return unto him empty or void. I have eaten from the bowl of prophecy. I did hunger, and I did thirst. Now the Lord will fill me with righteousness and peace. The power of his word shall abound in me, and the truth of prophecy shall come forth unto me this day. I will not be disillusioned by the wave of criticism that comes from the gainsayer's son. I purpose not to be disillusioned any longer by the wave of the critics. Jesus is the Lord, and he knows all things. He does show forth the love of truth, and the love of God shall abound toward me in this time of tribulation. I determine not to be heady, neither high minded but full of faith and confidence, always abounding toward his love with thanksgiving.

I will give no place to the devil. He is a liar, and there is no truth in him. I come up higher in fasting and prayer. Jesus will not condemn me if I falter or fail, but I know that there are dimensions awaiting me by faith. God touches me with newness and freshness. He calls forth blessings from his storehouse and places them in my hands. I am alert, for Jesus will do a wonder in my midst. I behold the wonder that he will do.

INSPIRATION

RE: RHEMA - Grace Lifts Us To the Higher Dimensions of the Mind of Christ

Grace is the economy of the universe, where things and galaxies disappear. They are created all over again in another dimension in a grander manner. We look at the small things and have the wrong appraisal value because in quantum mechanics, the smaller the particle, the greater the energy packed inside. God, in his grace, never deals with a problem in the dimension it is in. He always takes it higher into another dimension to solve it. We are his treasure in the earth, and his inheritance is in us constantly in DNA form spiritually. Eternal deposits of riches, we do not perceive, are constantly coming to abide in our lives by the wealth of grace. Our attention may be diverted from spiritual things to earthly concerns because we have the tendency to be affected by the things that try to smother us daily. Our God is the breath of fresh life that blows away the smog of confusion and gives a clear perspective of all that he has laid before us in chamber after chamber of untold blessings and power. Ambiguous terms try to invade our minds and concerns, but the unleashing of his power will show us clearly that it is not within us, but the completeness of all things is in him. We will not abide under the clouds of doubt. The cloud went away as the law set in the sunset, and the bright and morning Star arose in our hearts in Grace.

(Continued)

The tunes of the enemy are all musical lies. As the notes in music, he shall fling you around in the air and parade your words before the world. Accept not the offer of the enemy, for he is a liar. He cannot accomplish his purpose without your cooperation. The enemy has not offered his best. His best comes on the scene with the illusions and deceptions of Jezebel. I do give you grace to find your place in my secret place. Come not out of the secret place and then shall you be found faithful in your time of temptation. Submit yourself unto me, and allow me to cleanse you totally that the enemy's hook has no landing place in your heart.

321. Do you not see the wave of enchantment before your eyes?

The enemy has his highest award to give to you if you will pervert the things of God. Yet his highest award will only merit you my greater damnation. Be not a fool and exchange your soul for the highest award of perverted fame.

322. Though the world does clap and worship at your feet, all that is vanity and foolishness, for what will you give in exchange for your soul in the great day of judgment?

In your greatest day of fame, it would only be your weakest and most terrible moment of your life. Buy not the package before you, for it is a package of lies. The scenario is ready, and the offering has been decided openly in the counsel of the wicked. Though you say God with your mouth and give thanks to a god, I will be no part of that which glorifies you or the devil. This can be the first day of the rest of your life in the presence of the mighty God and the Everlasting Father, or it can be the first day of your journey to hell.

323. What will you do?

You have gifts and talents. I have life and that more abundantly. I also have a lake of fire for all those who love me not and obey not the gospel.

324. What will you do?

The dawn of another day has set upon you, and many souls have died and gone to hell where they shall await the Day of Judgment. Many will die lost today.

325. Do you care?

326. Do you REALLY care?
