Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

I am the Lord, your righteousness. I am your peace, the Savior who made the Jew and the Gentile both one. I abolished in my flesh the enmity even the law of commandments contained in ordinances, for to make in myself of twain one new man so making peace. I reconciled both unto the Eternal Spirit in one body by the cross. I slew the enmity and came and preached peace to you who was afar off and to them that were nigh. The flood of truth is washing away those who attempt to build back the wall of partition. The flood of truth is a flood of access by one Spirit unto the Father. What is the Father's name, and what is the Son's name if you can tell? I came in the Father's name, and they did not know who I was. I came and cried, "He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me, and he that seeth me, seeth him that sent me." Go and declare that my Father and I are one and so is my body. Many hearts shall be pricked, but a flood of truth shall be released. Go and start a flood.

(RHEMA: Jesus Is God With Us)

Jesus is the Lord, my righteousness. He is my peace, the Savior who made the Jew and the Gentile both one. He abolished in his flesh the enmity even the law of commandments contained in ordinances, for to make in himself of twain one new man so making peace. He reconciled both unto the Eternal Spirit in one body by the cross. He slew the enmity and came and preached peace to me who was afar off and to them that were nigh. The flood of truth is washing away those who attempt to build back the wall of partition. The flood of truth is a flood of access by one Spirit unto the Father. I know that Jesus is the Father's name, and Jesus is the Son's name. He came in the Father's name, and they did not know who he was. He came and cried, "He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me, and he that seeth me, seeth him that sent me." I will go and declare that his Father and he are one and so is his body. Many hearts shall be pricked, but a flood of truth shall be released. I will go and start a flood.

The Arena of Grace Where There Are No Beasts or Vultures

Be not desirous of vain glory, neither be tempted by the things that surround your mind to pull you away from my grace. There lies a subtle trap before your feet to draw you away from my will. I do forewarn you and bring to your knowledge the subtle trap. Be not deceived by that which seems to be good, for there are those things that seem to be good which are not good, just as there are people who seem to be, yet who are not so are there things.

I come to you by the spirit of wisdom and of revelation and forewarn you of the subtle trap of Satan. I have loved you with an everlasting love. My love has marched between you and the trap-door again. I have stretched forth my hand to restrain and constrain you so that you do not miss that which I have foreordained for you. My will is in you. Cast it not out for that which is reserved for the dogs and those who believe not in my grace. I have given you pastors after my own heart, yet there are spirits that try to lure you away after the hirelings and the butchers of the hour.

Come with me into the arena of grace, and I will show you the exceeding riches of Christ. The unsearchable riches that I have placed in the grace of Christ await you to discover them. Be not detoured by the things of this life, neither by the promises of people. People cannot satisfy you. Only I can. I am the Lord, your God. I have given you the truth, and the things that you seek after shall pursue you after you have done the will of God. Do not cast away your confidence, for your confidence is the container that I will pay a great recompense of reward for. I will come looking for your confidence shortly. It is in that confidence that I will place my reward for your trust and your faithfulness.

Look again to the horizon that I have pointed you to, and be not moved away from the thought of your arriving redemption. Remember that ahead of you there are the arenas of sorrow that are reserved for the children of the bondwoman. Go not back to the bondwoman's house lest you eat the bread of the hypocrites. I have brought unto you the bread of victory and the bread of life. Eat of this bread, and know of the victory which contains all that you need.

I am the Lord, your God. Be not filled with contempt, but be filled with faith. I am the Lord, who made all things. Open your arms of faith, and receive of that which you need. I am stretching forth my hands of provision that you might reach into my arms and get that which you need. Step out on the land of faith today and get what you want, for it is reserved for you. There are no hindering things to keep you back, for I have paved a highway without any beasts or vultures to prevent you. Walk out, and see that I am with you to assist and to help you in every way. Prove me now, and know how real I am. The hour is late, but first I do bring to your fingertips that which I have promised. Do you believe in miracles?

Then prepare for the wave of my miracle working hand and know that I place a miracle in your hands. You have been chosen, and now I will show you of the grace that has come to your life. You stand in this grace now. There are no spirits that can wade through this grace and find you to defeat you. The grace that you stand in is the place of hiding, and now there are no lions, nor beasts that can make the journey through my wilderness of grace. To the beasts, it is a wilderness, but to you, it is a paradise.

RE: RHEMA - The Arena of Grace Where There Are No Beasts or Vultures

They that wait upon the Lord will mount up with wings of eagles. The marvelous cherubims of the mercy seat have the face of an eagle. Eagles will fly above any place vultures or any other creature can come. We will be lifted on eagle's wings of grace into the heights above the attack of the enemy. His accusations and insults will fall drastically short of the arena that eagles of grace will lift us to. There are species of eagles that are called snake eagles. They capture a serpent by the tail and take their beak and destroy its head. Eagles of grace will take the words of creative power and silence the poison venom of the liar. We are not some road kill for the carrion eaters of hell to feast on, We are the royal priesthood that will come away with the blessings of heaven in our mouth. We are not in the fields of death but in the lush fields of harvest. Miracles and harvest without number is the realm of the harvester's of grace. Predatory spirits may lurk in the shadows looking for victims, but we are in the sunlight of grace on a highway to the final triumph. Intruders will be flattened by the steamrollers of redemption.

CONTEMPT, DECEPTION, SORROW, AND SUBTLETY

I will not be desirous of vain glory, neither will I be tempted by the things that surround my mind to pull me away from God's grace. There lies a subtle trap before my feet to draw me away from his will. God does forewarn me and bring to my knowledge the subtle trap. I will not be deceived by that which seems to be good, for there are those things that seem to be good which are not good. Just as there are people who seem to be, yet who are not so are there things.

Christ comes to me by the spirit of wisdom and of revelation and forewarns me of the subtle trap of Satan. He has loved me with an everlasting love. His love has marched between me and the trap-door again. God has stretched forth his hand to restrain and constrain me so that I do not miss that which he has foreordained for me. His will is in me. I do not cast it out for that which is reserved for the dogs and those who do not believe in his grace. Christ has given me pastors after his own heart, yet there are spirits that try to lure me away after the hirelings and the butchers of the hour.

I come with Jesus into the arena of grace, and he will show me the exceeding riches of Christ. The unsearchable riches that he has placed in the grace of Christ are waiting for me to discover them. I will not be detoured by the things of this life, neither by the promises of people. People cannot satisfy me. Only God can. He is the Lord, my God. He has given me the truth and the things that I seek after shall pursue me after I have done the will of God.

RE: RHEMA: Heavenly Headlines In the Time of Bad News from the Author of Trouble

We are seated in the throne of power as over comers in Christ. Our position is secured by the blood of Calvary. No price can exceed what he has already purchased for us. Satan cannot outbid what love has so lavishly bestowed upon us. Trouble always seems to have an unsettling effect on its surroundings. News of problems, mistakes, tragedies, and failures seem to rush like a flash flood at the foundation of our position in Christ. Our architect has already said that the house built on the revelation from God will stand, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it. Everything that seems threatening or is boldly defying our faith of the moment, will be silenced by the arrival of the voice that never fades but is lifted on the winds of difficulty to bring peace to our minds. Revelation brings us riches that bad news cannot depreciate. We are wealthy in his grace beyond the poverty of trouble. We are not the menu for the day of trouble of the trouble maker, but the one whose fan is in his hand will devour them with the flame of his consuming fire. We will shout the praise of the Almighty God and be silent to the announcements of the wicked one. Under our feet and the foundation of the unshakable work of the cross is the already defeated foe. We will not give him hope of breath by any words we speak or think, so he will think he is the popular figure of the day. We will continue to read his obituary that heaven has already published and rejoice!

(Continued)

Do not be discouraged when you do not understand. Simply trust, and know that I will do what is best for you. I have not started you on this journey and sent you to the end of it without sufficiency. Only believe, and know that I have ordained a beautiful ending. The cares of this life and the things that usher forth from your own mind impart the information of earthly reasoning. Reason no longer, neither counsel no longer with the ability of man, but counsel with me, and find out that I have more than enough wisdom for your situation. You are my child.

434. Shall I cast you aside when trouble stalks you?

435. When perplexity attempts to overrun you, shall I hide my face from you?

436. Do you have compassion on your little one when she makes mistakes and end in perplexing situations?

437. Do you have compassion on her?
