Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

The flood of truth is beating down the doors of denominations where many are alienated by men who are inspired by the spirit of error. I am not divided. I am one body, not many bodies. By one spirit, are all baptized into one body. There are many members in one body, but all members have not the same office. So the church, being many, is one body in Christ and everyone members one of another. Be not joined to the spirit of error, for I have given you the spirit of truth. If you are joined unto the spirit of error, then you are joined unto a harlot. Come out from among those who walk in error, and walk in the light of truth. You are one bread and one body. Those who are mine have all been made partakers of that one bread. As the body is one and has many members, all the members of that one body, being many, are one body so also is Christ. For by one Spirit, are ye all baptized into one body, whether you be Jew or Gentile, whether you be bond or free. You have been all made to drink into one Spirit, for the body, is not one member but many. I am a Spirit, the one Spirit. I am seeking the true worshipers. Those who worship me must worship me in spirit and in truth. Go and magnify my oneness and the unity of the body of Christ. Is Christ divided?

I broke down the middle wall of partition between the Jew and the Gentile. I have made both one. I have one head, and I have one body. I am the head, and the church is my body. What is the name of the church, and what is my name if you can tell?

(RHEMA: The Flood of Truth Beating Down the Doors of Denominational Walls)

The flood of truth is beating down the doors of denominations where many are alienated by men who are inspired by the spirit of error. The Lord is not divided. He is one body not many bodies. By one spirit, are all baptized into one body. There are many members in one body, but all members have not the same office. So the church, being many, is one body in Christ and everyone members one of another. I will not be joined to the spirit of error, for he has given me the spirit of truth. If I am joined unto the spirit of error, then I am joined unto a harlot. I have come out from among those who walk in error, and I walk in the light of truth. We are one bread and one body. Those who are the Lord's have all been made partakers of that one bread. As the body is one and has many members, all the members of that one body, being many, are one body so also is Christ. For by one Spirit, are we all baptized into one body, whether I am Jew or Gentile, whether I am bond or free. We have been all made to drink into one Spirit. For the body is not one member but many. God is a Spirit, the one Spirit. He is seeking the true worshipers. Those who worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. I will go and magnify the Lord's oneness and the unity of the body of Christ. Christ is not divided. He broke down the middle wall of partition between the Jew and the Gentile. He has made both one. He has one head, and he has one body. Jesus is the head, and the church is his body. I know that the name of the church is Jesus, and my Lord's name is Jesus.

The Shelter of Grace On Higher Ground

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. Do you care?

Do you REALLY care?

The artillery of your warfare needs to be updated that you might fight the good fight of faith. I move upon you with a different attitude toward the saving of the lost. My voice is speaking to many in the earth about the lost. Be not closed minded, neither be dull in your thinking, but alert yourself unto the voice and the vision of your spirit, for I do stir you and the gift that is in you.

The hour is late. Many could have already been won had you hated evil and loved good with the fervency of my zeal. I put my zeal in you. Let it eat you up. When the zeal of your house becomes the zeal of my house, then will you see your world changed. There must be nothing left of the love for evil. When the love for good has overflowed in your spirit, then can you separate the precious from the vile.

I have chosen you to be a soul-winner. You are equipped to win the lost. The wisdom is already in you. The knowledge is in you. The platform is in you. Everything that you need to get the job done is in you. You are created unto this good work. I created you in me with the ability to do the job. You don't need a course in religion to get the job done, but you need to grow in grace and in the knowledge of me. Separate yourself from the yoke of bondage and its influence and then will you see me and know me the way you desire and the way you must know me if your are to achieve the purpose for which I created you. I do not want you to fall short. I speak to you in love and compassion, and I do give unto you instructions that will bring you into the fellowship of friends that have understanding. Many that you thought had understanding do not have an understanding of me but of religion and the traditions of men. The leaven of the Pharisees, which I warned them of, has caused them to be lifted up in pride and self-righteousness. The fall of their bread also brings them down to low-type living at the hand of defeat by sin. Unbelief takes out his sickle and has already begun his awful onslaught against them, for they would not turn from unbelief and self-righteousness.

Run to the shelter of grace where the enemy cannot find you. I am giving you a hiding place in this hour, for the enemy does step up his war against the unbelievers. You shall fight him from new dimensions and a new ground of faith and position. Yield not your higher ground to the enemy, but stay here in the center on higher ground. From here, you shall see all that goes on. You shall look all around you and see in all directions. Let your sword that is in your mouth be as a flaming weapon that continually swings against the enemy. He shall not defeat you, neither shall he slay you, but you shall come forth with my victory, and raise a banner of love that the people might see me, your king. The love that I have for you is being manifested through you. You are changed and the newness of the purpose manifests itself. Be ready, for I do move in a new direction with you and the ministry within you. Be not troubled, nor disappointed by the reaction of brethren toward you, for their attitude is of me. I control everything. I made the good and the evil, the evil for my day of judgment. Evil thoughts will come into the minds of many you know as I thrust my strong delusion throughout the earth. Run to the shelter of grace and truth. Open your heart to real love lest you are bewitched with the masses.

RE: RHEMA - The Shelter of Grace On Higher Ground

Grace has declared the plan of battle that will never lose. As we bestow grace on those who are lost, we will never have time to contemplate our own selfish advantages. As we allow the grace of God to flow like a river out of our lives, it will become the marching host that will march down into the field of battle from above. Our enemy will be swept away by a flood of grace that it cannot stop. Satan has no answer for the cross. His best positions of battle are always left in shambles by the power of grace. We are not in a bunker mentality but in a battle arrayed with grace as the armory on the high ground of faith. Evil men will wax worse and worse, but grace will much more abound. In the hour that we have been blessed to live in, we will win the deceived, not by condemnation but by revelation. Our words of prophetic utterance in the church are part of the weaponry that will liberate the lost. They have heard the words that have torn their souls apart. We have the words of grace that will heal and restore. As we minister grace to hearers, the Lord will send his host and leave the camp to the enemy leveled with slain. Masses may be moved by religious hysteria, but those who have heard the voice of grace will be safe in its shelter from the toxic clouds of lies that parade as truth.

RELIGION AND THE TRADITION OF MEN

The dawn of another day has set upon me, and many souls have died and gone to hell where they shall await the Day of Judgment. Many will die lost today. My actions show I do not really care.

INSPIRATION

RE: RHEMA: Rest In the Bosom of Love While You Journey Through the Sea of Unfamiliar and Uninvestigated Territory

Surging seas of scorn may try to drown out our confidence. Pressure of the depths of what we do not understand will try to burst our capacity to hear. Our captain, that walked the stormy seas of the past, is on board our ship, and we are going to the other side! Illusions of failure and defeat will become a continual video in our minds if we will supply the player. We must determine to unplug the voice of the enemy from any input circuits of our heart and mind. God seems to never supply every detail of the unknown journey before so that we will not search for the direction within ourselves but rely completely upon him. Darkness will never be our final destination, it is only a passing scene on the way to his final victory for us. As we journey, we will not respond to any ominous sight along the way but will boldly declare the directions that we have been given by his prophetic vision. His name, that we unashamedly proclaim as we go into battle and face every uncertainty, will push away the subterfuge of the enemy and allow us to see the depths of his love instead of the depths of despair. Our journey is designed to sharpen the sword of prophecy, not to dull it. As we continually declare the word of the Lord in faith, the seas will become scenes of deliverance and power and the harbor of peace will always be in sight.

(Continued)

If I were recording or marking down your iniquities, you would not be standing, but you would be fallen and trampled by the enemy of your soul.

425. Have you read, "Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven. Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity."?

426. Do you comprehend the beauty of that expression?

427. Do you really understand the gospel and the meaning of my grace?

428. Do you believe what Abraham believed, or do you believe what your traditions have taught you?

Do not worry about the dealings and affairs of others. I am greater than all of their conspiracies. The conspiracy against you is known of me. Rest in your confidence in me and not in man. I am for you.

429. Now tell me, who can be against you?

430. Shall you name one that can be against you?
