Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

Be not afraid of what man can do unto you because of their assumed relationship that they boast about having with me. They shall hear me say, "I never knew you" in the end of time, for they are workers of iniquity. Fear them not, for I have not sent them to say the things that they speak against you. I am granting great peace to you and your children. Teach them about me, and allow me to establish them in righteousness. I have sent more grace to fence out oppression; therefore, fear not. This same grace shall keep terror far from you. The waster shall destroy those who walk in darkness, but it shall not waste you. In regards to you, I have stripped the waster of its prosperity, and it cannot prosper against you. Every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment, you shall condemn, for this is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and your righteousness is of me.

(RHEMA: The Waster Has Been Stripped of Its Prosperity)

I will not be afraid of what man can do unto me because of their assumed relationship that they boast about having with the Lord. They shall hear the Lord say, "I never knew you" in the end of time, for they are workers of iniquity. I will not fear them, for he has not sent them to say the things that they speak against me. God is granting great peace to me and my children. I will teach them about the Lord and allow him to establish them in righteousness. He has sent more grace to fence out oppression; therefore, I do not fear. This same grace shall keep terror far from me. The waster shall destroy those who walk in darkness, but it shall not waste me. In regards to me, the Lord has stripped the waster of its prosperity, and it cannot prosper against me. Every tongue that shall rise against me in judgment, I shall condemn it, for this is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and my righteousness is of the Lord.

Spiritual Eyesight During the Closeness of the Enticing Spirit of Spiritual Blindness

I am the King of Israel, the Bright and Morning Star, your lily in the valleys, the Root of David, the God of the entire earth. Jesus is my name. Do not be drawn away from the revelation of who I am, or you will slide into the darkness with the rest of the world. The spirit of blindness does cover the entire earth, and the night of the evil one is rampant throughout the land. Stay fixed and focused on the revelation of Jesus Christ, and do not be moved from the foundation of that truth. It is more important than you have perceived. Go back to the revelation, and study it again. There are truths there that you did not see before. I shall touch your eyes with new understanding that you might share it with my people. Cease not to be thankful, and never think yourself wise, or you will become a fool. I am the revelator. I revealed myself unto you. Now give thanks that your eyes see, for there are many wise and prudent men who do not see what you see. Cease not to give thanks, for by thanksgiving you shall abound from victory to victory and from faith to faith. I will give you more grace that you might give more grace.

Lift up your eyes unto the revelation of Christ, and perceive by my spirit the glory of the revelation of the foundational rock, the chief cornerstone. Do not stumble at this revelation, or you are destined to stumble at the rest of my word. Grasp this that I show unto you, and despise it not, rather love the truth of this revelation, and embrace no other doctrine, for the hot coals of idolatry are being offered on every corner. Flee idolatry, and embrace the truth of my name and my character. I am the Rock of the ages, the Rock that followed Israel in the wilderness. I am the same Rock, the stone that the builders rejected and the head of the corner. Nothing shall prevail against this church, for it is built upon the proper foundation. Attempt not to build a congregation on the sand of traditions but rather build upon the foundation, which no other man can lay. There is only one foundation for my church and that is that foundation which has been laid. If you build in any other way, then you are building in vain.

I have given you eyesight. Now embrace not the spirit of Delilah, which seeks to entice the whole world. Embrace not the spirit of Delilah, for it is treacherous and the way unto damnation. Flee the influences of the spirit of Delilah, for even the influences of that spirit can corrode your entire life. I speak unto you now and even warn you now that it (the spirit of Delilah) is building rudiments in the congregations to spoil those who are called by my name. Speak the words of warning that I give unto you so that the hearers of the words of admonition will not be spoiled. I am the light of the world. You are now a bearer of this light. I am the treasure within you. Choose this day whom you will serve. Cast not aside the treasure of Christ for the vain things of the night. The harlots of the age are on every corner. Go not into the chambers of idolatry, and search not their vain teachings for spiritual truths but rather seek me with all your heart, and behold the teachings of the spirit of the Lord within you. I will show you great and mighty things that you have not known. Lift up your eyes, and behold the goodness of the Lord God. I have come and given you life. This life is in you. Be not regretful of trials but rather give thanks in everything. You know me as God. Now worship me as God, and be thankful always.

RE: RHEMA - Spiritual Eyesight During the Closeness of the Enticing Spirit of Spiritual Blindness

Lust will leave us looking at the darkness. Righteousness will open our eyes to the traps that are set before us. We are encouraged to use the eye salve that will help us to see ourselves as needing God in every way. When we think we are self sufficient and have not need of anyone or God to lead and guide us, we are just about to step over the edge of pride to destruction. As we walk with him, he will teach us how to observe and what to observe. We should be careful how we see, as much as in how we hear. Paul teaches us to have the eyes of our hearts opened by the spirit of revelation. Blindness came to Israel and can come to those who think they have not need of a physician. Sampson was blinded by so much emotion instead of being consecrated to the eternal covenant that blessed him with strength. Jesus is the light and has called us out of darkness into his marvelous light. We must be careful that the light that is in us in not darkened by the shadows that creep around our lives. As we stand close to him, he will expose the false and will fill us continually with the light that is full of life.

SPIRITUAL BLINDNESS

Jesus is the King of Israel, the Bright and Morning Star, my lily in the valleys, the Root of David, the God of the entire earth. Jesus is his name. I will not be drawn away from the revelation of who he is, or I will slide into the darkness with the rest of the world. The spirit of blindness does cover the entire earth, and the night of the evil one is rampant throughout the land. I purpose to stay fixed and focused on the revelation of Jesus Christ and will not be moved from the foundation of that truth. It is more important than I have perceived. I will go back to the revelation and study it again. There are truths there that I did not see before. The Lord shall touch my eyes with new understanding that I might share it with his people. I do not cease to be thankful and will never think myself wise, or I will become a fool. Jesus is the revelator. He revealed himself unto me. Now I give thanks that my eyes see, for there are many wise and prudent men who do not see what I see. I do not cease to give thanks, for by thanksgiving I shall abound from victory to victory and from faith to faith. The Lord will give me more grace that I might give more grace.

INSPIRATION

By Don Grigsby

RE: RHEMA - The Holy Ghost Sends Forth a Focused Mind That Spoils the Dance of Imaginations

Our mandate is that he will keep us in perfect peace whose mind is stayed upon him. As we look to him as the beginning and the ending of our faith, we can see no shadows of the darkness but the light of the revelation of victory. Our focus must be from the top of the spiritual mountain of Amana (truth). Truth will always liberate us from the fabricated images of fear that side tracks us into unbelief. Imaginations, like thunder, can sometimes attack us with such viciousness that we can hardly hear the voice of peace from above the fury of the storm. As false imaginations try to fill the galleries of our minds with the dancing images of destruction, there is a blinding light of revelation that turns our attention heavenward. All the host of the heavens are continually celebrating the victory that was won for us at the cross. With the entire creation dancing to the symphony of his triumph, we should be dancing in his victory with his word singing in our ears. Yesterday has been dissolved to make room for the visions of greatness to fill our vision of the blessings of right now, and those that are rushing to meet us are of those things that we have not seen but are prepared for us. All around us the world is shaking and quaking with the bold and brazen images of terror and threats, but our defender has arrived with more than enough power and steadfast assurance for us to walk through the day and night with no thought of defeat. He has not sentenced us to thoughts of destruction and loss but dreams of glorious triumph and rejoicing.

(Continued)

Many are the afflictions of the righteous, and many are the discouragements ahead of you, yet I, the Lord, will deliver you out of every one of them. Do not be cast down, neither allow discouragement to be united with you. I alone, should be united with you.

415. What fellowship do you have with discouragement?

416. Shall you romance the child of an enemy and seek joy?

417. Shall you enter into a relationship with the child of the destroyer and expect peace?

418. Shall you allow the child of a stranger to lie upon your bosom and expect the fruit of righteousness, which is peace?

I bring unto you new life today. I have seen your struggles to overcome the threatening things of the darkness, and I know of the thoughts of giving up.

419. Will you give up on the eve of your miracle?

420. How will you give birth to the miracle that you are pregnant with, if you abort it on the eve of birth?

421. Have you carried it this long merely to abort it and not see it alive?
