Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

I called you unto liberty. The flesh will embrace another Jesus offering occasions to it. Use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but serve one another by love. The flesh is filled with lust. Walk in the Spirit, and you will not fulfill its lust. Another Jesus has schemed to use the nature of the flesh to oppose the kingdom of God and ensnare the people of God. Liberty is being perverted, and grace is being turned into lasciviousness. Deny me not for another Jesus, for all who do such things, deny me, the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ. As the angels, which kept not their first estate but left their own habitation, so are people leaving true righteousness and true holiness. Hold fast to the truth and be not corrupted by another Jesus.

The Effectual Working of the Power of Grace Living Within Us

This day I do show unto you that my grace is greater than all of the forces in this life. My grace labors more than the effects of poverty. My grace labors much more than the effects of prosperity. My grace is exceedingly greater than all of the forces. You have found grace in my sight, and now the fruit of grace is expressing itself through you unto the glory that it was intended. I will share my glory with no other; therefore, acknowledge me in all your ways and then shall your pathway be clean and holy.

I have set before you an open door, and there is none that can shut that door. Lift up your eyes unto the hills of salvation again, and see that your help is constantly present on the top of the hill of salvation. As Jacob saw angels ascending and descending and saw me at the top of the ladder revealed unto him, so do I show you the angels, which have been given charge over you to keep you in all your ways. I will show you that I am a very present help in all your troubles. Truly, I will never leave you, and I will never forsake you. I am not a man that I should lie, but I am God, and I never change.

I have brought you to the kingdom for this time. Desire not to be in history at another time, for this is the time that I chose for you to come to my kingdom. Refuse the kingdoms of this world and all of the glamour that the princes of this world offer. Choose today that you will buffet yourself and die daily and then shall you continue in fellowship and communion with me. I have loved you with a love that is fervent and everlasting. I loved you before you were born. I chose you before the foundations of the world, and now that you are chosen, be glad, and rejoice in the day that I have made. You are here that I might be glorified in you. I desire to live my life out through you. Yield to me, and allow this flow of eternal life to flow in you and through you. You are crucified with me, but you live, nevertheless not you, but I live in you. You are alive because of me, the resurrection and the life, which lives inside you. Come from the graveyard of tradition and doubt. Come from the rocks of dead and unsculpted images, and be a living image of righteousness and true holiness. I have placed my chisel of perfection on your life, and by the hammer of love, have I chastened and constrained you.

Lift up your eyes unto the faithfulness of your God, and know that in the midst of prosperity, you will serve me as in the midst of poverty. I shall be your stabilizer and your guard. I am your refuge from the deceitfulness of riches and the expression of coldness in these last days. Lean on me, your everlasting arms, for I am more than enough for every burden.

RE: RHEMA - The Effectual Working of the Power of Grace Living Within Us

Grace is a flowing fountain of blessing. Abundance is the foundation of its expression. Its power to change the unchangeable is unrivaled. Nothing is as powerful as the river of grace that flows through the deserts of life and turns them into gardens of Eden. Lives that have been choked and destitute are restructured with heaven being its equity and payment. Riches of grace are the treasure chests of goodness that never run empty. Strength flows the weak and might is given to the powerless. Poverty is erased from lives as they sit in the palaces of the King. Calvary does not leave us in debt but clears us of all indebtedness. He will give us the riches of the wicked to advance the righteous cause. Caravans of supply and armies laden with more than enough are our portion in the kingdom of Grace.

POVERTY

This day the Lord does show unto me that his grace is greater than all of the forces in this life. His grace labors more than the effects of poverty. God's grace labors much more than the effects of prosperity. His grace is exceedingly greater than all of the forces. I have found grace in his sight, and now the fruit of grace is expressing itself through me unto the glory that it was intended. God will share his glory with no other; therefore, I acknowledge him in all my ways and then shall my pathway be clean and holy.

INSPIRATION

RE: RHEMA - Prayer Is Not a Chore but a Privilege That Is a Product of a Relationship

Sunrise and sunset arrive in the horizon of our lives with the footsteps of our greatest Friend. Our inward garden of prayer and fellowship is not only a retreat, haven, therapy period but the embrace of the most endearing moments of our life. Prayer is more than asking, and those who have never experienced the rhapsody of his musical words of grace in their ears have never experienced the greatest joy this side of glory. Love comes and whispers revelations to our minds and places the healing balm of understanding on our wounded spirits. We have not received the spirit of dread of prayer. It will never be a chore to those who have ridden on its golden wings into the heights of the crescendo of heavens prophetic symphony. Many times only a few words from the fountain head of the Spirit will turn into a broad carpet that will cover every room of our life with the plush promises of his very best. All who know the relationship of this kind of interactive grace boldly declare to all who will listen the unsearchable riches that await those who await the day prepared with the dispatches of the news of heaven. For heaven has already beheld tomorrow and washes the dust of disappointment from our face before the winds of tomorrow can begin to blow. Covenants are established in the words passed between friends on the edges of eternity. As we sit at his feet and drink from the depths of his provision, wells begin to spring up in our soul to flow into the lives of other thirsty travelers that have never been this way before. What a privilege we are afforded to not only be able to worship and praise at his throne but to ascend to the communion place above the mercy seat to hear all the things that he has always wanted to say to man but needed only a recipient.

(Continued)

Do not sell the truth that you have bought, and do not miss the suddenness of departure, for I shall come quickly. I will prepare my bride and persuade her with commandments. Those in my bride shall willingly obey the ministry that prepares and perfects her for departure. He that has an ear, let him hear what the spirit is saying in this hour, for these are not vain words spoken by the mind of a man, nor from the origin of human reasoning and preparation, but the spirit speaks expressly and authoritatively to those who will hear. Hear what the spirit is saying unto you, for my hand reaches to take away that which is not needed in my bride and to add to the bride that which is needed.

386. How will you soar with the redeemed, if you cannot deny yourself the false things of the age?

387. How will you prepare for such a bride as the chaste virgin that I come for, if vanity and pride is your altar and your God?

If any of you will be my disciple and my bride, then deny yourself the things that have been told unto you, pick up your cross daily, and follow me.

388. Who are you following?

389. Yourself and the world or the ministry and my bride?

There is no human reasoning available for the work before you. Do not think to say for yourselves that you shall do it, for you cannot add one cubit to your stature by thought or reasoning. You do not know the things of tomorrow, but I know all things. Come from the traditions of men, which have fostered pride and rebellion in your hearts and lives, and crush yourselves on the altars of humility and love. I am the Lord God who is strong and mighty in the battle.

390. Will you fight your own battles with minds filled with pride and arrogance, or will you bring all your weapons of pride and self-conceit to the altar of my love?
