Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

Say unto the voices of condemnation and despair, "Be removed from my ear and cast into the sea of silence. Be removed, and do not return to my ear, for the blood of Jesus has been applied to my ears." I have not sentenced you to the exile in the realm of imaginations. I have elected you to a position in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Cast down your immature weapons of carnality, and take up the weapons that I gave you. The weapons of a true believer are not carnal, but they are mighty through me. They are mighty in pulling down strongholds, casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself above the knowledge of God. Take up these weapons again, and bring an end to strongholds, imaginations, and pride. I am enforcing your actions of faith. Activate faith today. Activate love today.

(RHEMA: Return from Your Exile In the Realm of Imaginations)

I say unto the voices of condemnation and despair, "Be removed from my ear and cast into the sea of silence. Be removed, and do not return to my ear, for the blood of Jesus has been applied to my ears." God has not sentenced me to the exile in the realm of imaginations. He has elected me to a position in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. I will cast down my immature weapons of carnality and take up the weapons that God gave me. The weapons of a true believer are not carnal, but they are mighty through God. They are mighty in pulling down strongholds, casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself above the knowledge of God. I determine to take up these weapons again and bring an end to strongholds, imaginations, and pride. God is enforcing my actions of faith. I choose to activate faith and love today.

The Voices of Rachel's Children Crying In the Distance

I am the light of the world, and you cannot live in the darkness if you walk with me. Walk with me, the light, and you shall be full of light. I will cleanse you of all sin as you confess your sins unto me. Walk in the light as I am in the light, and my blood will take care of all of your sins. I am the light of the world, and though the world does not accept me as its light, I am not stripped of that position, for it is more than a claim. It is a reality. I shall remove the light from the world and then shall the world know who its light was. I shall remove the light of grace and mercy from the earth, and the darkness of my wrath shall come and bring its darkness. This darkness is so dark that it is felt in the form of famine, death, destruction, war, and all manner of plagues. Be not foolish, neither be deceived. I am about to lift my light from the earth, and the earth shall know the greatness of my darkness. I am light, yet I can produce darkness. I do set before you this day both light and dark. Choose the light, and you shall live. Choose the darkness, and you shall know the terror of the dark.

The time is now that I am waving my hand of mercy across the earth. I am knocking on the doors of all the inhabitants of the earth. My voice speaks in many ways, and my longsuffering has continued to wait on men and women to repent and turn from their wicked ways. I shall not tarry much longer, for the time of the Gentiles is almost full, and the days of the church are almost over. The church shall now become my bride, and I shall take her away. Come and be filled again with my Spirit, and I shall produce a flood of grace within you. Be not slothful, for there is no time for spiritual slumber and spiritual sleep, for the hour is late. Walk while you have this light lest the darkness overtakes you in the days of Jacob's trouble. Hear the voice of Rachel's children in your ears. The moans and groans of Rachel's children are a reality of the future. They shall cry and wail, and the moans shall be heard throughout the land. Make no plans based on presumptions, but make all your plans based on the truth of my word.

I am the Lord, and I am speaking to you, a Gentile, because of Abraham and Christ. You were born into this family because of Christ, and now are you his seed, thus being the seed of my friend, Abraham. I do treat you as the son that you are. Relinquish not this position for the gravel beneath your feet, for if you reject this position as a son of the Most High, you shall crawl as a serpent upon your belly, for I have expressed and extended a great love relationship to you, a Gentile. Now know of this great love in the awesome manner that I have promised. I promise you this day that you shall see the glory of God. All things are possible unto you if you believe.

Look now at the impossibilities, and see them for the last time, for I shall show you of the power of my might and my wisdom. I shall nullify these things and bring them to naught. As the dust, I shall blow them away, and they shall be no more. Rise and begin to rejoice, for I am taking care of all these things that have plagued and hindered you. It is time to take your position as a bishop without blame and in right-standing with me and man. Now shall you see the miraculous dimension as a daily reality, for that is the dimension that I live in; therefore, come and walk in the dimension of the miraculous. Be not puffed up, neither be lifted up in pride, but be humbled that I would allow you the privilege to walk in this place of honor and wonder. Know this of a truth, that I have given you this privilege; therefore, do not spurn the love that motivated this privilege, for the other side of this is sorcery, which is reserved for those who love me not.

Come and I will show you great and mighty things that you do not know. Close your eyes, and look into the Spirit. The deep dimension beyond the eyesight has been known by those who have traveled in space, but this did not add a dimension to me. All of this is within me, for I am the Eternal Spirit. I will catch you up on high and show you of the wonders of the spiritual dimensions. The things of my miraculous power shall demonstrate to you that I am more real than you have ever imagined. Today I will show you a miracle.

RE: RHEMA - The Voices of Rachel's Children Crying In the Distance

Voices of another world are heard by those who have ears to hear. To some, it is only the sound of thunder. It is the voice of deliverance and promise. Paul could hear the voice of a man crying for someone to come and help. Children that have never been born are crying in the distant realms of possibility. In the night, there are the cries from the institutions of the captive and depressed that scream for relief. Our ears cannot be filled with the things that please us if we are to hear the cry for help. Our sensitivity must not be dulled by our own callousness of daily experience. Even when we have been hurt over and over again, we must not allow this to close our compassion to those who need it the worst. Fervent cries of miracles that have never whispered in real life are in the decibels of thunder in the unseen world of the Spirit that we are being drawn to. Time and events sweep us along like a piece of drift wood if we allow it. Those who know what time it is will walk in to heaven's time sensitive vaults of treasure as the doors swing open for our entrance.

DARKNESS

Jesus is the light of the world, and I cannot live in the darkness if I walk with him. I walk with him, the light, and I shall be full of light. Christ will cleanse me of all sin as I confess my sins unto him. I walk in the light as he is in the light, and his blood will take care of all of my sins. Jesus is the light of the world, and though the world does not accept him as its light, he is not stripped of that position, for it is more than a claim. It is a reality. Christ shall remove the light from the world and then shall the world know who its light was. He shall remove the light of grace and mercy from the earth and the darkness of his wrath shall come and bring its darkness. This darkness is so dark that it is felt in the form of famine, death, destruction, war, and all manner of plagues.

I will not be foolish, neither will I be deceived. God is about to lift his light from the earth, and the earth shall know the greatness of his darkness. Jesus is light, yet he can produce darkness. He does set before me this day both light and dark. If I choose the light, I shall live. If I choose the darkness, I shall know the terror of the dark. The time is now that God is waving his hand of mercy across the earth. He is knocking on the doors of all the inhabitants of the earth. His voice speaks in many ways, and his longsuffering has continued to wait on men and women to repent and turn from their wicked ways.

INSPIRATION

RE: RHEMA: Praise To Jesus Seals Him As a Permanent Headline In Your Mind

Hell's printing presses would like to fill the pages of our awayness with the awful tidings of fear. Heaven's dispatches of faith would cancel and blot out the false announcements of gloom. We should always refuse to take dictation from the father of lies. Truth has trumpeted into the earth all the promises of the new covenant. Our minds will dredge up all kinds of terrible imaginations if we subscribe to the tribunals of false reports. We will be buried under the weight of despair. As we worship him, we preclude the headlines of darkness from filling pages of our minds intended for words of light. Praise blots out the cacophony of blunders that confusion would fill our minds with. As we hear the feast of heaven's best, we can send the news of the gainsayers to the trash heap in the flaming sacrifice of praise from a thankful heart. Revelation filled praise vaporizes the headlines of hell and replaces them with the golden etching of grace at tables of grace.

(Continued)

I am the judge of the entire earth, and I will do right.

438. If I being the judge of the earth will not have compassion on you, then where will you find help in a dilemma?

I know all things. I am everywhere at one time. I am eternal. I have all power.

439. Do you grasp the power of these statements?

I am your God. I am your Lord if you will allow me to be. Do not be regretful of the will of God, but give thanks for all the things that concern you have been allowed into your life by me. You are not your own. I allowed all these things to come to you. You belong to me. I am not troubled that these things have come to my possessions. The grave and death could not ensnare and entrap me.

440. Then why are you worried about being trapped?

It is now your hour and your time, for now I show you my hand of salvation. I say again, "It is your hour and your time." Get ready for the celebration of your personal victory over the things that have threatened you with sure defeat. This trial has been a long battle. Faith has won the battle. Many lay dead in the battle, and many wounds did you receive. Faith came forth and was a constant weapon against your foes. Faith is now the raven that is my vehicle to supply you with that which you need. I have promised, and I will perform.

441. What profit is it unto me if I allow "Shame" to slay you?

The light of this glorious gospel is shining. The darkness of the law did not become your door, but the darkness of law became the reminder of my faithfulness and mercy unto you. Compare the life of Achan with your life, and rejoice in your salvation.

442. Are you better than Achan and his family?

443. Have I loved you and hated Achan?

I have brought you life and immortality through my gospel. My death, my burial, and my resurrection have abolished all the pains of sin and its consequences from your record. You are a free man. I have not saved you from your sins to sentence you to damnation and defeat. The stench of your sins should have been enough to remind you of what could have been, but now, in me, there is a fragrance of love and forgiveness that should cause you to anoint me with your praise forevermore. Praise the living God with all that is within you.

444. If you live a life of regret and worry about the past, the present, or the future, what glory is that unto me?
