Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

Discouragement shall depart. Anxiety shall lift its heavy feet from your shoulders. Impatience shall be sent on a long journey to the pit of corruption. Insufficiency and weakness shall be banished to an island beneath my feet. Worry shall retreat, and make room for new confidence and dreams fulfilled. I have stretched forth my hand and poured fresh oil upon you. The words from my mouth are living words. Eat and be refreshed. The fresh water of my word has flushed out the cares of this life and the faulty information imparted from your own mind and the agitating spirits of the age. Trouble stalked you today. You did not know it was there, for as the child of royal subjects, you were guarded. Peace has surrounded you with its awesome womb, and compassion has soothed your mind with its tender touch. Meditate on what I have said unto you, and allow spiritual digestion to take its course in you.

I did not know it was there, for as the child of royal subjects, I was guarded. Peace has surrounded me with its awesome womb, and compassion has soothed my mind with its tender touch. I will meditate on what God has said unto me, and allow spiritual digestion to take its course in me.

What Will You Give the Paying Passenger In Exchange For Your Soul?

I have not left you to find the way to the end of all things, but I am with you to carry you to the end. I have picked you up and placed you in myself, and now the journey to the end is by the faith of Jesus Christ and not by your own faith. It is already accomplished. Now walk in the light of fulfilling faith, which is not stymied by the onslaught of suspicion that come from the spirit of the age.

The voices of the night and the voices of intimidation have approached the ears of the church. I have listened to the voices of your enemy as he has accused my body before me. The accusations against you have fallen on ears that have already heard the cry of Abraham. I have already heard the father of faith and the father of many nations. Know that you were from one of the nations of which Abraham is the father of. Do not be ignorant of the divine providence of your life, for you were appointed unto the kingdom of God by the grace of the Lord. Nothing can steal this away from you lest you sell it. No one can steal your salvation unless you sell it. What will you give the buyer of your salvation for your soul?

Don't you know that the piper who plays for the band of damnation has only one main chorus?

The theme of its main chorus is destruction and damnation. You are no longer a child of the damned, but you are a child of eternal life. You are children of the resurrection. Now walk in the light of resurrection, for I have planted you in the likeness of my death. Now walk in the light of my resurrection. Cast off the grave clothes of this world, and show forth the praise of the Lord in your body. Continually cleanse yourself from all filthiness of the flesh and of the spirit. I am the Lord, your God, the helper of Abraham. As I helped Abraham overcome his failures in his flesh, so I am helping you. Abraham struggled with his mistakes and so shall you. Nevertheless, there is grace at the throne of grace.

Arise from the dust of condemnation, and lift up your eyes unto the throne which is upheld by mercy. Note that my mercy is holding up the throne of my grace. Come to this throne, and find that there is sufficiency for you in the time of weakness and misunderstanding. Lift up your head unto the confidence of the Lord. Know that I am proclaiming myself by the activity of my word that is alive in the earth. I have sent forth my word, and now will you see the magnificent effect of the word that is forever settled in heaven. Use your faith, and allow the word to be settled in you and in the earth. Come forth, and fulfill that which has been foreordained.

RE: RHEMA - What Will You Give the Paying Passenger In Exchange For Your Soul?

He that hath begun a good work in us will perform it until the end. God has not brought us to this hour to fail. He has brought us out to bring us in. Everything will try to distract us in this hour. If the enemy knows that something will get us diverted, he will do his best to send it or speak it in our direction. We must be as Nehemiah and refuse to carry on a conversation with the enemy. We must refuse to come down from the wall of salvation that we are standing on. If we bite and devour one another, we will be devoured of one another. Dogs have a habit if one gets to chasing something, then every dog in the neighborhood will try to catch it. We must not adopt a pack mentality. Dogs return to their own vomit. Satan would like for us to get the nature of a dog instead of a sheep that desires the green pastures that his Shepherd will lead him to. All the chorus or howling dogs in the neighborhood will be joined mindlessly by every dog that hears it. We have not heard the voice of the chorus of biting condemnation and damnation. This is the howling pack that hunts shadows that are nothing. They run and howl just to run. All the liars of this hour just like to hear their own howls against the chosen servants of the Lord. We have been invited to sing the song of the redeemed. We will not join in the chorus of the condemners. Some have said that if the devil does not have our price, he has the down payment if we are for sale. We are of the truth, and we will not sell out at any price!

ACCUSATION, CONDEMNATION, INTIMIDATION, AND SUSPICION

The Lord has not left me to find the way to the end of all things, but he is with me to carry me to the end. He has picked me up and placed me in himself, and now the journey to the end is by the faith of Jesus Christ and not by my own faith. It is already accomplished. Now I walk in the light of fulfilling faith, which is not stymied by the onslaught of suspicion that comes from the spirit of the age.

He is the Lord, my God, the helper of Abraham. As he helped Abraham overcome his failures in his flesh, so is he helping me. Abraham struggled with his mistakes and so shall I.

INSPIRATION

By Don Grigsby

RE: RHEMA - Hear the Reasoning of the Lord

In the world, justice may have fallen in the streets and equity may have no accepted entrance. God is our perfect scale of balance. His righteousness is always weighed on the other side of the scale from our shortcomings. He has justified us by the silver of his sacrifice. He has accepted us, and others may try, but his acceptance cancels out the rejection of the words of others. Many do not understand the times and the operation of God in this hour. Fear and insecurity are causing their response to flow like a flood. God will raise up a standard of stark truth against the misguided remarks. Our destiny is not in their perimeter of decision. God has ordered and ordained our mission. Our failures and mistakes are not the bar of judgment that God uses to view our present. He will take our part against every adversary and roll away the road blocks they try to set up. Although it may seem that they go on to greater things, these will be exposed as farces and short term advances. God has remembered those who will faithfully declare his counsel. Every time that the trivial seems to overwhelm the precious, the precious is taken forth from the vile and becomes the diamonds of royalty in the hands of the Lord.

(Continued)

Come and follow me. You will know of things to come, but do not be proud, nor lofty but humbled that the King of kings would share these pearls with you, a Gentile. I am glad to share with you, but cherish this relationship, and do not spurn my love. Never spurn the love that has been given you, or it will destroy you. The laws of love cannot be defied. The touch of love sends forth the laws of love. The laws of love must be respected as the laws of electricity must be respected. Walk in the light of the law of love, for truly love has touched you. You are standing today and not fallen down because of my grace. If I had marked down your iniquities and your transgressions, then you would not be standing.

53. Who could stand if their iniquities were marked down and then judged according to their iniquities?

Come from the way of raging disappointments, and abide in this boat of redemption. My blood has made a way for you. Now come forth from the prison of discouragement. I have made a way for you. Let your light shine, for I am the freedom giver. I have given you life. Life cannot be canceled by the antagonistic efforts of defeat. I have liberated you, and now will you walk in the light of my mercy and not in the shadow of religious images of hypocrisy and pride. I have offered you this relationship.

54. Are you ready to go?

I am ready to thrust the word of prophecy into the earth.

55. Are you ready?
