Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

Come unto me, and I will show you how to contend with the assumed terror on the horizon. Beware lest you focus on the fears of what could happen rather than focusing on me. Read Hebrews 11 carefully. I have opened your understanding that you might understand the scriptures. Do you think that I am anxious or afraid?

Men's hearts shall fail them for fear and for looking after the things which are coming on the earth. Let not your heart fear, but be focused on the one who knows no fear. Look to me, and hear my voice. Close your ears to men and their assumptions. Open your ears to my voice. I tell you that the powers of heaven shall be shaken and then shall they see me, the Son of man, coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads, for your redemption draws nigh. Turn your eyes upon me. Believe in me. Believe my word that I have spoken in your ears. There is no contradiction between them and what is written. If you halt here to give credibility to man's reasons, evidence, and conclusions of their minds, you will be persuaded by the knowledge of man's person and deceitful spirits. There is no authority in their evidence. Remove your trust from the strength of men's probability. Place your total trust in me, and hold a firm persuasion to not abandon me as the object of your faith. If you really believe on me, then you will place your full confidence in me and my love for you. If you really love me, then you will trust me, and rest in my arms by the faith of Jesus Christ.

(RHEMA - A Revelation of How To Contend With Assumed Terror)

I have come unto the Lord, and he has shown me how to contend with the assumed terror on the horizon. I will beware lest I focus on the fears of what could happen rather than focusing on him. I will read Hebrews 11 carefully. God has opened my understanding that I might understand the scriptures. I know that the Lord is not anxious or afraid. Men's hearts shall fail them for fear and for looking after the things which are coming on the earth. I determine not to let my heart fear but to be focused on the one who knows no fear. I look to Jesus and hear his voice. I close my ears to men and their assumptions. I open my ears to his voice. He tells me that the powers of heaven shall be shaken and then shall they see him, the Son of man, coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to come to pass, then I shall look up and lift up my heads for my redemption draws nigh. I turn my eyes upon the Lord. I believe in him. I believe his word that he has spoken in my ears. There is no contradiction between them and what is written. If I halt here to give credibility to man's reasons, evidence, and conclusions of their minds, I will be persuaded by the knowledge of man's person and deceitful spirits. There is no authority in their evidence. I remove my trust from the strength of men's probability. I place my total trust in him and hold a firm persuasion to not abandon him as the object of my faith. I really believe on him, and I will place my full confidence in God and his love for me. If I really love him, then I will trust him and rest in his arms by the faith of Jesus Christ.

Victory Over the Heels of Intimidation In the Tunnel Trial

This long range trial has ended. You have come to the end of the tunnel of this trial. It has been a tunnel trial. Many things passed over your head that you did not see, but none of those things harmed you. Now at the end of the tunnel stands the greater light of victory. I have established your thoughts and your ways, and no longer are you disoriented, but now are you aware of the purpose and the outcome of salvation.

I have brought you into a large room that is not cluttered with the junk of human reasoning. The clutter of man's thinking can be organized into a spiritual memorial. I have torn down the walls and the entire building, which was erected in you by your own reasoning and your own purposes. I have now brought you to the design of righteousness and given you the mantle of Christ. You are now Abraham's seed because you are Christ's. I have said in my word that, "If you be Christ's, then are you Abraham's seed and an heir according to righteousness." You are more than a conqueror through me who loves you. I called you according to my purpose, and now I do restore order to your life that the design of righteousness might be fulfilled in you. The order of righteousness is working, even now, to bring about the fulfillment of righteousness. All righteousness will be fulfilled in you, for I have designed it within you. As the ingredients of a tree are in the seed, so are all of the ingredients of righteousness in you unto fulfillment.

Withdraw not because of what your mind sees as clutter. I have not cluttered your mind, nor your life. An enemy has brought his clutter to dump into your life. Your thoughts are now established, and the will of God shall be done. Lift up your head from this valley, and come away from the ledge of condemnation and defeat. I have turned you from the things that have vied for your attention. Look unto me, the author and the finisher of your faith. Look unto me, the strong arm of salvation, which is revealed. I am revealed, and now the strong arms of power shall swing the blow of victory for you. Look up, for in the face of victory, is the peace that you need. Look away from the enemy and his intimidating face of fear. I have placed him beneath your feet, and now, there are all the things of victory within you. In you, there is a kingdom of light and authority. Rise up from the heels of this intimidator, and place your feet on his head. I have given this authority into your hands.

RE: RHEMA - Victory Over the Heels of Intimidation In the Tunnel Trial

Some suggest in sarcasm making light of the light at the end of the tunnel and say it is the light on the freight train. Their pessimism reeks with the cynical. However, I think there is an awesome answer to this answer. We are compassed about with a cloud of witnesses that are on the train of God's victory that are coming to run over the enemy and all his intimidation. The national science foundation says if we make one grain of sand equal a star and run a freight train full of hopper cars full of sand, still each grain of sand representing a star, and run it 24 hours a day at the rate of one car per second for three years, these are the number of the stars that we know will declare God's glory and his handiwork. Shouts of defeat and confusion will be lost in the wind of God's power. Our trial is not the end of an effort but the beginning of eternal and infinite relationships that will defeat the giants of fear and intimidation in our lives. Victory is written on the walls of our tunnels that come out of the mountain of impossibility into the plains of power.

INTIMIDATION AND AN ENDURING TRIAL

This long range trial has ended. I have come to the end of the tunnel of this trial. It has been a tunnel trial. Many things passed over my head that I did not see, but none of those things harmed me. Now at the end of the tunnel stands the greater light of victory.

I will not withdraw because of what my mind sees as clutter. He has not cluttered my mind, or my life. An enemy has brought his clutter to dump into my life.

INSPIRATION

RE: RHEMA: The Weapons of God Cast Down the Imaginations That Come from Unbelief

Battlefields have run red with the blood of physical foes. In the realms of the imaginations and thought cauldron, there is every kind of pit and whirlpool that can exist. Maps of the right paths along the mind set of spiritual thoughts will lead us around these traps. Our greatest defense against the imaginations is an enlightened mind by the spirit of revelation. If our minds are darkened, we will continually view the video of negative thoughts. Unbelief lies in wait like a devouring lion to eat up every thought of faith if we allow it. Unbelief preys upon the weak and minimizing thoughts that so easily flow out of the Adamic nature. Our divine nature can be opened up in worship and prayer to flood our thoughts with the greatness of God. This flood of powerful thoughts will place shields of assurance between us and the incursions of fear. Our spiritual eyes should behold his greatness instead of the weakness that unbelief tries to construct in our thinking. The master of the wind is the director of our thoughts. Doors into a wilderness full of pits are always open, but we should slam and lock those doors with firm resolve that our thoughts will not wander down this path. Confusion will ride up in a great parade, but it will always lead us into a mental ambush. Our deliverer has called us to put on the garments of praise and righteousness and put our thoughts in the armor of the spirit of truth. Fresh winds of revelation will renew us in our mind and unleash the eternal power of God to demolish the strongholds of the failures of the past. As sure as he wrote on the walls of hostile kingdoms, he will write upon the walls of our minds the victories of today.

(Continued)

The light of the world is not insufficient, but it is all sufficient. Your sufficiency is not of yourself, but it is of me. Lift up your voice for the light of the world, and proclaim the good news of my death, burial, and resurrection. My death was given to you as a present of love. By my love and my death, I have proclaimed to you my faithfulness.

405. Shall I give my life for you and not provide for you?

406. Shall I give my life for you and not protect you?

407. Shall I give my life for you and not guide you through this life?

The world and its inhabitants shall be caught in the great tribulation, and my wrath shall be poured out upon them for all their ungodliness. Be sure of your salvation, and make your calling and election sure. I am the Living God, who came as the man Christ Jesus and redeemed you from sin. Do not look back at sin, neither the things of the past, but press toward my mark of righteousness. I have said, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness."

408. Have you sought it with all your heart?

Now are the walls of hostility taken down, yet the sword of death and judgment is drawn. Hidden under the cloak of man's tongue is the sword of death and judgment. With chief subtlety, the sword of death and deception is drawn to come forth upon the throat of those who have sought peace outside of the Prince of peace.

409. Can a man do what the Prince of peace has not done?

Do not be beguiled by the appearance of peace, but know of a truth, that a war does rage within. The war is hidden by the tongues that are forked. Man could not wrestle away my gift of the land, but by subtlety has the enemy forged a method for prying away the land of promise. It is given unto the sons of Israel. Before the throne of man's peace have they been drawn, and now shall they see that the Messiah has come. He came unto them, yet they did not know him. Now shall the pressure of false peace bring them to their knees that they might cry more for Messiah to come. Messiah shall not come again until they shall say, "Blessed is he who does come in the name of the Lord."

410. Will man undo the word of the Lord, which is forever settled in heaven?
