Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

Speak the truth in love, and be lowly in your communication unto others. Communicate your faith without hypocrisy and justifiable attitudes of false righteousness. Seek true righteousness and true holiness, which is without hypocrisy and dissimulation. Love is without dissimulation. Many practice hypocrisy and utter error against my word and me. They make the souls of others empty. When the thirsty drink from their mouths, their drink shall be empty. Be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and put away everything that is of the lie. Those who do not speak the truth and pervert my word shall pervert it unto their own destruction. Do not be led away with the error of others. Receive of my grace so that you do not fall from your own steadfastness. Grow in grace and in the knowledge of me.

(RHEMA: Love Breaks the Cycle of Circular Regrets)

I will speak the truth in love, and I will be lowly in my communication unto others. I will communicate my faith without hypocrisy and justifiable attitudes of false righteousness. I will seek true righteousness and true holiness, which is without hypocrisy and dissimulation. Love is without dissimulation. Many practice hypocrisy and utter error against God and his word. They make the souls of others empty. When the thirsty drink from their mouths, their drink shall be empty. I am renewed in the spirit of my mind, and put away everything that is of the lie. Those who do not speak the truth and pervert God's word shall pervert it unto their own destruction. I will not be led away with the error of others. I receive of God's grace so that I do not fall from my own steadfastness. I will grow in grace and in the knowledge of God.

Minister Unto the Lord Our God

Make a joyful noise unto me, your King. I am the King of the entire earth. I am not on an ego journey, yet I do inform you that I am God Almighty. I have sought you and brought you to this place in relationship to hear my voice. My sheep hear my voice and will not follow the voice of a stranger. My voice is the voice of the good shepherd who gave his life for you. I poured out my blood for you and emptied my life instead of yours. Eternal damnation was your lot, but I stood in your stead and represented you because of my love. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. I laid my life down for you, an enemy to the purpose and the cause of God and then I took up my life again. Rejoice in me, for the resurrection and victor over death and the grave is worthy of your expression of joy. The enemy has been bruised on his head, and my heel has been bruised. Now the prophetic word of God is fulfilled, and you are now the seed of the promise child. What will you do now that you are a seed of the Seed?

Will you sit and wonder if this is real, or will you rise up and claim the promises of Messiah?

Don't you know that redemption bought you everything?

What do you think of redemption?

You are not a slave any longer. You have been bought back, and now you are free. The enemy has taunted you and threatened you. His voice has been silenced, and he is helpless in the face of my word. I have given you my word that though the enemy comes in like a flood, I will lift up a standard against him. Why look to the things that the enemy says are coming when I have said that the gates of hell shall not prevail against the church?

I am more than enough for this adversary and all the foes of the darkness. I am the light of the world. Get your eyes off of the enemy, and behold the light that is within you. I have come to shine in you. As I shine, my glory shall radiate the faith of Jesus Christ. He did not fear the enemy, and now my perfect love cast out the fears that have been propagated by the enemy. I have already defeated this enemy and placed him beneath your feet. Trample under your feet the voice of the enemy. Slay the prince of this city with the praises of God. As you praise me, you drive the enemy and his voice of distraction from the presence of the holy. I am the Lord, your God, the builder of the Church. I am the stone, and I shall grow exceedingly great now. I shall fill the entire earth, and my glory shall shine as the brightest suns. Open up the gates of praise, and sound the trumpet of deliverance. I have walked in the city of praise, and there is no adversary to challenge me, for I have already spoiled all of their power by my cross. You look to spiritual warfare. The weapons of your warfare are not ignorant tactics of Pharisees, but your weapons of warfare are mighty through me to the pulling down of all these things. I shall take care of the enemy. You minister unto me, the Lord, your God. Hear my voice, and minister unto me, the Lord, your God.

RE: RHEMA - Minister Unto the Lord Our God

When Jesus told the Devil that the Lord was the one and only that should be worshiped, he left him alone. This is still our mightiest weapon against the enemy. He causes us to always triumph in his praise. This truth cannot be altered or changed. We are trampling the enemy like the dust in the streets when we are dancing and worshiping in spirit and truth. We will see the enemy flee in terror when we fill the air with the praise of the Lord as we minister to him all our waking moments.

In the prison a few months back, this message was given to the men in a service.

"Let your praise be as the rivers that flow to the sea and never cease. As you ignite the sacrifice of praise, you will be consuming the enemy on his terms. He has tricked you to be excited about sports, sex, and Hollywood's movies. If you would stand and offer the same kind of thunderous cheers for the Lord, your God, he will deliver you from every trouble and snare of the wicked one."

We are the devil's worst nightmare when we celebrate in the presence of the King.

DISTRACTION AND FEAR

I will make a joyful noise unto Jesus, my King. He is the King of the entire earth. The Lord is not on an ego journey, yet he does inform me that he is God Almighty. The Lord has sought me and brought me to this place in relationship to hear his voice. His sheep hear his voice and will not follow the voice of a stranger. His voice is the voice of the good shepherd who gave his life for me. Jesus poured out his blood for me and emptied his life instead of mine. Eternal damnation was my lot, but he stood in my stead and represented me because of his love. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Jesus laid his life down for me, an enemy to the purpose and the cause of God and then he took up his life again. I rejoice in God, for the resurrection and victor over death and the grave is worthy of my expression of joy.

The enemy has been bruised on his head, and the Lord's heel has been bruised. Now the prophetic word of God is fulfilled, and I am now the seed of the promise child. This is what I will do now that I am a seed of the Seed. I will not sit and wonder if this is real, but I will rise up and claim the promises of Messiah. I know that redemption bought me everything; therefore, the thought of redemption brings great elation. I am not a slave any longer. I have been bought back, and now I am free. The enemy has taunted me and threatened me. His voice has been silenced, and he is helpless in the face of God's word. The Lord has given me his word that though the enemy comes in like a flood, he will lift up a standard against him. I will not look to the things that the enemy says are coming when the Lord has said that the gates of hell shall not prevail against the church. Jesus is more than enough for this adversary and all the foes of the darkness. He is the light of the world. I will turn my eyes off of the enemy and behold the light that is within me.

I open up the gates of praise and sound the trumpet of deliverance. God has walked in the city of praise, and there is no adversary to challenge him, for he has already spoiled all of their power by his cross. I look to God's spiritual warfare. The weapons of my warfare are not ignorant tactics of Pharisees, but my weapons of warfare are mighty through God to the pulling down of all these things. He shall take care of the enemy. I will minister unto Jesus, the Lord, my God. I hear his voice, and I minister unto Jesus, the Lord, my God.

THOUGHTS

By Don Grigsby

I was praying and these thoughts came to me,

If God can turn a word into a river, how many expressions are in a river of words?

Only the rivers of light and brilliant burning gases flowing down through galaxies out of the fiery terminus of a super nova into the trackless spaces beyond can begin to count a few of the endless thoughts and designs of our infinite God.

It seems almost endless the amount of excuses and number of denials that a human mind can respond back to the one who loves them enough to die for them in their ignorant pursuit of their own selfish desires as their ultimate desire in life. More countless than these are the hands of deliverance and freedom beyond calculation that are multiplied by millions into an innumerable host that would take them forth from their head long plunge into destruction.

In the natural world, there are only so many shades of meaning and color, only so many angles and tangents, only so many dimensions we dare to ever imagine exist. In the existence of God, there are existent dimensions that have been standing in line for the ages on the horizon of eternity that he could release and men would be overrun, overflowed, and overwhelmed.

If we will disengage and cast away from us all the dynamics of fleshly things and mired, muddy, and mundane processes we hold to, he will take us by the hand and put spiritual dynamics in our hands that are concurrently functioning as both revelatory and delivering at the same instant. Supernatural processes that we have never seen and heard are currently happening vertically para subconsciously to us. They have been working beyond the notice of anybody but God, and he suddenly opens a door, and we are shocked at the miraculous event that has been unfolding. The work is at its completion before we see it.

Enigmas and conundrums of power are set forth night and day. In a oxymoron of power, God may allow an overdose of wickedness so that he double overdoses with grace. Other times, through a channel that we do not have the control valve to when we would sprinkle, he floods. When we would turn around and flood, he suspends everything for a period of time for the ground to soak it all in.

Just some thoughts.

(Continued)

Do not believe on me as you would believe on men. Do not search my attributes for weaknesses, neither search yourself for qualifications. Simply trust me. I am dealing with you according to my everlasting, enduring mercy. I am able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above all that you have asked or thought. I have made a way out of what you thought were "no ways." In my arms, there is no frailty. I am the source of strength. I am the creator.

80. Can I make a man and not create what the man needs?

I am for you.

81. If you have never had a host to chase you, then how will you know that I am greater than the host and for you?

82. You have read about me being against armies for others, but what do you believe me to be when a host is against you?
