Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

I have not come to this point in time to observe days and events. Why would I sit and observe the things that I know are coming to pass?

Be not distracted with the rest of the world. Heaven is not rejoicing because earth is walking across time lines. The angels of God are not joyful because the inhabitants of the earth are celebrating. Place your trust under the shadow of my wings, and declare the excellency of my lovingkindness. With me, there is the fountain of light. I am the light of the world, and in my light, you shall see light. Eternal life waits to become someone's award. I have freedom from sin to offer. Holiness and righteousness search for hungry and thirsty souls. A relationship with divinity is offered without money and without price. Today is the day of salvation. Who will administer my riches while my people worship at the altars of time?

(RHEMA: Love's Priority Is Not Altered by the Disturbing Events of the Age)

The Lord has not come to this point in time to observe days and events. He does not have to sit and observe the things that he knows are coming to pass. I will not be distracted with the rest of the world. Heaven is not rejoicing because earth is walking across time lines. The angels of God are not joyful because the inhabitants of the earth are celebrating. I will place my trust under the shadow of the wings of God and declare the excellency of his lovingkindness. With him, there is the fountain of light. Jesus is the light of the world, and in his light, I shall see light. Eternal life waits to become someone's award. The Lord has freedom from sin to offer. Holiness and righteousness searches for hungry and thirsty souls. A relationship with divinity is offered without money and without price. Today is the day of salvation. I will administer the riches of God while his people worship at the altars of time.

The Table of the Bread of Victory

I am the Light of the world and the Light of my body, the church. Now you are a city set on a hill that cannot be hidden. You are shining because of me, your light, and now the light of eternity prepares you for the catching away of my bride. Do not think the things strange that shall happen to you in the future, for I must move to prepare you for the purity of those who shall see me. I shall prepare you and remove every spot and every wrinkle from you. I shall purify your hearts and make you glad. You shall rejoice because of the beauty of holiness and not regret its demands. You shall willingly desire separation because of the newness of your hearts, and rejoice because you are one with me. Lift up your eyes from the debris of the vultures of the hour.

Lift up your voices with praise unto your God, and refrain from the diet of the giants of the world. The food that fed many of you by the giants of the land is abhorred of me, for even their praises are an abomination unto me. Come to the table prepared for you by my Holy Spirit. Come to the food fed to you by ministers called by me. The food that I have designed and planned for you is wholesome and without the leaven of the Pharisees and the tradition of men. I have sent forth the diet of the last days. Eat the faith and the grace being fed to you, and you shall live. Eat the diet set before you, and you shall be strong and full of confidence in me, the Lord, your God.

I have made you glad already. Now shed the garments of sadness and unbelief. Rejoice in the joy of your salvation, for I have restored it. It is in the diet that has been planned for you. Allow spiritual digestion to happen in you. Do not regurgitate the food fed you, but allow its assimilation into your life as you demonstrate its acceptance by your attitude and expression of faith. I am more than enough for all these things that attempt to make you spiritually sick.

Why have you listened to the distractions of the hour?

The voices of distraction should speak in vain, for I have given you the voice of purpose and the voice of victory. Hear the voice of victory today, for the cry of the ministry is expressed in faith and fulfilled by my faithfulness. Come and see that the way of the holy is a narrow path where the voices of the beast and the vultures of the dark cannot tread. Come and see that the way of the redeemed is a narrow path which has shut off the searching beast of the night and sent them away hungry for the lives of the people of my name. Come and see that the path that I have led you in is full of green grass and still waters; therefore, rest in the hands of your good shepherd, for my eyes are on you, just as they are on the sparrow. Come and see that I have lifted you up into a place which is heavenly. This heavenly place is entered only by the straight and the narrow way. Those who go down the broad way of this world have gone the wrong way and shall only find the entrance way to hell. Turn from the broad way of worldliness, and come to the narrow way of holiness. Worship me in its beauty, and rejoice because of separation. I have chosen you and made you a royal priesthood, a separated people, a holy nation, and a peculiar body of believers, who are my possession.

Rejoice because of your name among the heathens, for I have chosen you to suffer this persecution for righteousness' sake and for my own name. Rejoice and be glad, for the glory of God and the glory of my resurrection power rests upon you in preparation for the catching away.

Lift up your voice unto the hills of your salvation, and see that the Rock higher than you has followed you into this trial. Your impotence in ability of yourself has not diminished the glory of your victory. I have gathered around your enemies and ordered your victory by the hands of angels and my power. Lift up your voice in praise, and know that I was delivered for all of your offenses, for I was raised to declare you not guilty before this throne of grace that you stand before in faith. Lift up your voice in praise and thanksgiving, knowing that the glory of my death for your offenses and the resurrection of my body from the dead has settled the issues of today as it settled the issues of yesterday and yesteryears. Come and be glad for the glory of your God is in you. Rejoice and be glad that you are saved and that the joy of your salvation has come back in restorative power and authority. Come and let us dine, for the ministries of this congregation have been equipped by your God. Come and dine, for here is the place that I have chosen to feed you the diet of faith and victory. Eat and be glad, for your hour has come.

RE: RHEMA - The Table of the Bread of Victory

God truly will provide a table in the wilderness and in the presence of our enemies. We do not eat the bread of sorrows but of the strength heaven. Heaven's bread is still on the table of his presence. His bread is the bread of his face. He gives us the miraculous power of multiplication in the bread that he blesses and breaks. Events of the future are the horizon that God will turn into a table of display. He will show who he is and whose are his. Tragedies may be along the roads of life and the vultures of darkness may try to swoop down on those who are unaware. We are not ignorant of his devices. We eat the bread of knowledge. It will make us ten times wiser than the children of any other kingdom. We are on a journey to the goal that he has set before us. We will not be sidetracked by the distractions of voices or vices. We have our eyes upon the finisher of this race. He is the anchor that is steadfast within the veil. He will reveal the road hazards to those that are walking with him. We have been brought to the strait gate. Everyone presses his way into it. God's kingdom suffers violence and the violent take it by force. Those who are trivial in their pursuit will fail. Those who are intense and fervent in Spirit will be the victors. Problems may perplex us, but the road ahead is filled with victory. We will eat the bread of his victory and run the race of patience to the end. We will not sorrow but rejoice in his provision all the day long. Our portion is not just crumbs. We have the whole loaf.

THE DEBRIS OF SPIRITUAL VULTURES, DISTRACTION, SADNESS, AND UNBELIEF

Jesus is the Light of the world and the Light of his body, the church. Now I am a city set on a hill that cannot be hidden.

INSPIRATION

RE: RHEMA: The Words In Our Mouth Turn People from Darkness To Light

Prophets were destined to pull forth books unwritten and unread from the curtains of darkness. God has allowed the darkness to suppose it could overwhelm light, but it has just set itself up to be the magnificent backdrop to display the spectrum of brilliantly lit revelation that will fill the horizon of time. The treasures of the darkness are flowing from the mouth of his prophets. The same God that called the light out of darkness is speaking through his people again. His spirit has already written covenants of peace and liberty in our hearts and minds that can never be erased by blotters of darkness and confusion. Prophetic anointing has always destroyed and left the yokes of the traditions of men in a heap of destruction. Traditions of men always dress in religious robes to be seen, but the words of God's people will expose their fraudulent presentation. Many will follow their ways because they seek the praise of men. We are mandated to speak words of deliverance to those bound in religious enclosures. Darkness comes in many forms. Evil actions and ways of living are the results of the wrong focus in life. If we will focus words of light on the ways of this world and men, others will see their shortcomings and run after true righteousness. As we declare true liberty to others, they will be loosed to perform the perfect will of God.

(Continued)

Come to the table of reasoning, and behold the joy of salvation. Come to the table of reasoning, and behold again the drama of your past life. Behold your life floating down to the door of the damned.

490. Where are the friends that pull at your love of the Father now?

491. Where are the women who bring offerings of death and damnation?

I have made a bridge for you to cross from death to life. You did not come to this side of the bridge by your own works. My works and my life were laid across the gulf of this life and created a bridge of safety for you and your own. My heart was crushed and broken for your feet to walk on this bridge of life. My death was for your life. My death created the eyes for your vision. The small things that could not be viewed by eyes of worldliness are now made clear through the eyes of those who have seen the view from this bridge. Climb up higher, and view the revival of my choosing for you. If you look from your self-imposed valleys, you will not see the vision of the Lord, but from the bridge of my grace, you can see souls weeping in my presence. I am pouring out my spirit on the hungry and the thirsty.

492. Why do some come and some remain?

493. Why do some come and some leave?

494. How many have come and gone?

495. How many have remained that came when I called?

496. Do you know the answers to these questions?

497. Who will these be that are in the congregations now?

498. Who will leave, and who will remain?

499. Where were you when I filled your little one with my spirit?

500. Where were you when I baptized her in my name and gave her remission of her sins?
