Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

Do not limit me in others because you have not experienced the glorious things that are happening in them. If you limit me in others, you will miss a blessing and cause others to come short in your ministry to them because you did not receive what was sent to you. The bearer of the gift will not be limited because you did not receive the fruit of his gift. You will be the loser. You have seen others lose because they rejected the fruit of your gift. Be not a loser with them in regards to the gifts that are in others. Allow me to correct your attitude in ministering the things supplied by your gift. I must correct your attitude so that the light of revelation is not reflected away from others by attitudes contrary to love. If they reject revelations because of envy, unbelief, or other reasons, then you are free of blame. The light of revelation is shining in you. Are you reflecting the light away from people, or are you being an open instrument for the light to shine unto others?

(RHEMA: Do Not Limit God In Others by Rejecting the Gift of God Working In Others)

I will not limit God in others because I have not experienced the glorious things that are happening in them. If I limit him in others, I will miss a blessing and cause others to come short in my ministry to them because I did not receive what was sent to me. The bearer of the gift will not be limited because I did not receive the fruit of his gift. I will be the loser. I have seen others lose because they rejected the fruit of my gift. I will not be a loser with them in regards to the gifts that are in others. I allow God to correct my attitude in ministering the things supplied by my gift. He must correct my attitude so that the light of revelation is not reflected away from others by attitudes contrary to love. If they reject revelations because of envy, unbelief, or other reasons, then I am free of blame. The light of revelation is shining in me. I desire not to reflect the light away from people and I will be an open instrument for the light to shine unto others.

The Glistening Atmosphere of God's Body

My mercy endures forever. Let the redeemed go and say that they are redeemed. I am the redeemer, and I have bought you back from slavery. Be not a slave to the lower things of this life, neither the beggarly elements of this world, but be bonded to me, the love of God. I have loved you with an everlasting love. With everlasting kindness, have I stretched forth this mercy and grace. With my longsuffering, I have given you space for repentance each time that you have sinned. Be not drawn away to the slave chambers that exist in this hour, for there are many doors to walk into and become a slave. Why be an inhabitant in a slave chamber, when I have invited you to sit together with me in heavenly places?

The chambers of this life are death chambers. The keepers of the chambers await another soul to enter into its gates right now. Do not turn your face from this love, for in the face of love, there is peace, but in the face of slavery, there is death. The hour of my coming draws nigh. Yes, the mockers and the scoffers and the unbelievers do yet say, "Where is the promise of his coming, for all things continue as they have always been," but I say, "The promise of my coming is still real and certain." I will come in a moment and in a twinkling of an eye. Believe me, for I will surely come. I do come in an hour that the world thinks not, but to my bride, I will come not as a thief but as a husbandman.

Open up the gates of praise that I may abide in them and then will I whisper in your ears and prepare you for the coming of your bridegroom. Open up the gates of praise, and prepare me a hiding place. I will hide in the bosom of your praises, and from there, I shall ambush all your foes and your enemies. Open up the gates of praise, and make a way in the midst of these clouds. I do come to the gate of your praise with a strong arm of acceptance. Open the gates, and know that the Savior abides in your open gates.

Make bright the atmosphere of my body. I desire a bright glowing body to dwell in, not a body of dismal frustration. I have not chosen you unto frustration and defeat, but you are chosen unto praise, honor, and glory. The light of praise is shining in you. Be thankful, and bless my holy name. My name is sanctified, and my name is your tower of dwelling. Come into this tower, and be safe from the threats of your enemy. I am your strong tower, your refuge in the time of trouble. Abide in me, and I will abide in you. Take my word, and let it abide in you then shall you ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you.

Selah.

RE: RHEMA - The Glistening Atmosphere of God's Body

John the Baptist was said to be a burning clear light to his generation. We hold forth the word of life in a crooked and perverse generation among whom we shine as a brilliant light. With streets of transparent like transparent glass in heaven and a crystal like sea before the throne, we must mirror the clear image of the image of deity seated on the throne. Shadows and clouds of uncertainty are not in the artist's materials for the portrait of this hour. Darkness would like to pull the shades of oblivion over the light of the glory of God that is shining in our hearts and our confession. Our confession of faith is one of the few clear sounds and revelations that cast its sound and light across the land. As we exalt and praise the one who called us out of darkness into marvelous light, we will give off the glittering spectrums of light that detail the gem stones that he is making us into for his crown. We are his body and members in particular, and we dwell in the light that he is in that no human understanding can come close to understanding. We have been set before the world as a priceless treasure.

BONDAGE

God's mercy endures forever. I will go and say that I am redeemed. He is the redeemer, and he has bought me back from slavery. I will not be a slave to the lower things of this life, neither the beggarly elements of this world, but I will be bonded to the Lord, the love of God. The Lord has loved me with an everlasting love. With everlasting kindness, has he stretched forth this mercy and grace. With his longsuffering, he has given me space for repentance each time that I have sinned. I will not be drawn away to the slave chambers that exist in this hour, for there are many doors to walk into and become a slave. I will not be an inhabitant in a slave chamber when the Lord has invited me to sit together with him in heavenly places. The chambers of this life are death chambers. The keepers of the chambers await another soul to enter into its gates right now. I will not turn my face from this love, for in the face of love, there is peace. In the face of slavery, there is death.

The hour of the Lord's coming draws nigh. Yes, the mockers and the scoffers and the unbelievers do yet say, "Where is the promise of his coming, for all things continue as they have always been," but the Lord says, "The promise of my coming is still real and certain." Jesus will come in a moment and in a twinkling of an eye. I believe God, for he will surely come. He will come in an hour that the world thinks not, but to his bride, he will come not as a thief but as a husbandman.

I open up the gates of praise so that he may abide in them and then will he whisper in my ears and prepare me for the coming of my bridegroom. I open up the gates of praise and prepare him a hiding place. He will hide in the bosom of my praises, and from there, he shall ambush all my foes and my enemies. I open up the gates of praise and make a way in the midst of these clouds. He will come to the gate of my praise with a strong arm of acceptance. I open the gates and know that the Savior abides in my open gates.

The Lord is my strong tower, my refuge in the time of trouble. I abide in him, and he will abide in me. I will take his word and let it abide in me then shall I ask what I will, and it shall be done unto me.

Selah.

RHEMA

RE: RHEMA - Reach Out In Faith, and Touch the Fulfillment of Dreams That Are In Arm's Reach of Your Humanity

After Jesus walked to the grave of Lazarus and called him forth, he sent us a strong message across the years. "I can raise up the dreams to complete fulfillment that you have buried and covered up in your mind."

As I was praying this morning, this came to me along this same line of thought.

Your scoffer and mocker has told you that your dreams are just dust on the floor of defeat. My feet already stand within the gates of an entire city that has been measured and suspended in your dreams. Behold, it is coming down out of heaven into your life. Hell and all its minions cannot build a fire big enough to consume it or a mob big enough to protest against it. If you will refuse to sit in the wilderness and the empty highways of your fear and drive full speed ahead, I will give you an escort past all interference. A victory celebration awaits your arrival at the center of the dwelling of the dream that I have promised to never let fade from your life until every word has been fulfilled again and again so that the lies of hell will be washed so far down into oblivion that they will never surface again!

Every scheme and purpose that is set against us has been defeated soundly.

(Continued)

You have come to the throne of mercy. Now believe that at the throne of mercy there is help for your unbelief. I am helping your unbelief right now. Lean on these strong arms of compassion, and rest from the stress of this dilemma. Rest from your weariness, which has come by trusting in a human and fleshly answer and source. You have knelt at my throne. My throne will be the place where your unbelief is destroyed. I have heard your cry; therefore, shout for the glorious triumph on your behalf by the arms of faithfulness.

77. Do you believe in miracles?

78. How many do you need?

Come to the arms of love this evening and rest from your labors of worry. You are stressing yourself out in vain. Rest and be renewed in my spirit. I am not passing you by. I am passing over and through this storm with you. Do not look upon the storm if you cannot bear looking in the face of frowning fury. Instead of staring at Fury's expressions, look into the face of love and rest. Your mother would not allow you to fall if she had the strength to prevail in a situation. I have more than enough strength, for I have all strength.

79. Then if your mother being evil would not let you fall, how much more shall I sustain you?
