Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

The fundamentals of faith have been given to you. Now allow the fundamentals of faith to respond to my faithfulness. The quality of my faithfulness is not as human faithfulness. I am faithful. Man will fail you, but I will never fail you. I will never leave you, nor will I forsake you. I have not brought you to this point in relationship with me and then decided to abandon you. I will walk through every trial with you even the valley of the shadow of death is not the end of my journey with you. Through the fire, through the waters, through the floods, through valleys, and through all man-made hindrances, I will be with you. You are not alone in this new struggle for acceptance and this struggle to understand the complex things that have come up against you. Worry not; I am the God of your salvation.

The fundamentals of faith have been given to me. Now I allow the fundamentals of faith to respond to God's faithfulness. The quality of his faithfulness is not as human faithfulness. He is faithful. Man will fail me, but the Lord will never fail me. He will never leave me, nor will he forsake me. He has not brought me to this point in relationship with him and then decided to abandon me. The Lord will walk through every trial with me even the valley of the shadow of death is not the end of his journey with me. Through the fire, through the waters, through the floods, through valleys, and through all man-made hindrances, he will be with me. I am not alone in this new struggle for acceptance and this struggle to understand the complex things that have come up against me. I do not worry; Jesus is the God of my salvation.

The Chambers of God's Preparation In the Place of Evening Light

I am the resurrection, and I am the life. I gave my life for you. You were dead in trespasses and sins. There was no way out of the pit of sin by your own efforts, for you were sold under sin. Many are sold under debt in the natural realm, but now there is freedom from all things by the blood that I shed for you. I am the resurrection, and there is no power that can hold me down. I gave my life for you and the whole world. No man took my life, but I willingly laid my life down, and I forcefully took it up again. I shall take away those called by my name just as I took up my own body from the grave and from the jaws of death.

Do not be a slave any longer to anything but love. I have chosen you as a slave to love. I am love, and you may be my bondservant in love. Make no boast of your works, but be assured that the light of this glorious gospel is shining brighter than ever before, for the increase of this light is without end. It is increasing in every way, for the glory of it shall be greater than the glory of the former house. Open your eyes, and see that the glow of this latter house is shining with the radiance of many suns.

I am the resurrection. Corruption could not set into my holiness. Death could not find strength in its jaws to keep me in its clutches. All things of man and all things of the principalities and powers are no match for the strength of my liberty. I am the liberator of mankind. I am the restorer of the breach. I have brought you out with a mighty and with a high hand. Now lift up your heads, and allow them to be as gates. I am the King of glory walking in the light of my own liberty. Come and walk in the light of my liberty, and then shall you know the way of the holy. I am the light of the world. I have made you the light of the world. You cannot be hid, for you are in this place of the light, and all things of the darkness look upon you from without the light. These things cannot comprehend what you are doing, for the darkness does not comprehend the light.

Walk in the light, and then shall there be no comprehension of your way by your foes. Walk in the darkness, and the things of the darkness shall make you their slave. I have brought unto you the glorious liberty of the gospel. I am the way, the truth and the life. Come unto me, and I will show you great and mighty things that you do not know. Do not be as the proud who fall everyday. Do not be as the haughty that run before the spirit that brings down to low-type living, but be as I am, and walk meekly and lowly. I have rest for you that shall cause you to be refreshed in this evening time.

Go and say unto the people, "Arise and receive rest. Arise and be refreshed. Arise and know the power of the resurrection in this time of the evening. It is evening time, and there is light. Come and let us worship in the evening light. Come and let us make our abode in the chambers of his preparation. Come, O bride of the Morning Star, for your husband begins his journey to your door. His trumpet is in his hand and his lips are positioned to shout with the voice of an archangel. Open up your hearts, and know the way of the righteous. Hear the voice of the spirit and know that the sound of his love has come unto those who have entered into THE PLACE OF EVENING LIGHT"

I have light for my church. Go and proclaim the words that I do put in your mouth, for I will speak in this hour through the vessels called to minister. Go.

RE: RHEMA - The Chambers of God's Preparation In the Place of Evening Light

Thanksgiving will always look back to the pit that we were delivered from. As the leper returned to thank him and fell at his feet, we fall down at his feet filled with the wholeness that only Jesus Christ can project into our lives. It would be stepping back into a dimension of limitation for us to cease to be filled with thanks for all that he has done. Our residence in the light of the evening is not in the shadow of fears forest but in the shade of the fields of peaceful flowers of faith that fragrantly fill our lives. We have not been shut up in a house of horrors to prepare to meet the bridegroom, but we have been given a guarded pavilion of power to retreat to. We will come forth of the chambers of preparation with the spices of the morning in the glow of the evening light. Our eyes will shine as the pools of Heshbon with the reflected light of his smiling face. God is not harassing us or holding us hostage to events of fear but inspiring us with the special gifts of power and prophetic utterances of his love that ravish our hearts. Special anointing causes the face of the church to shine forth in this hour. Our face is not one of shame, but it is glowing by the Spirit that is within us and the anticipation of the glorious eternity that we will spend with our Beloved.

DEBT AND DARKNESS

Jesus is the resurrection, and he is the life. He gave his life for me. I was dead in trespasses and sins. There was no way out of the pit of sin by my own efforts, for I was sold under sin. Many are sold under debt in the natural realm, but now there is freedom from all things by the blood that he shed for me. He is the resurrection, and there is no power that can hold him down. He gave his life for me and the whole world. No man took his life, but he willingly laid his life down, and he forcefully took it up again. He shall take away those called by his name just as he took up his own body from the grave and from the jaws of death.

I determine not to be a slave any longer to anything but love. The Lord has chosen me as a slave to love. He is love, and I may be his bondservant in love. I make no boast of my works, but I am assured that the light of this glorious gospel is shining brighter than ever before, for the increase of this light is without end. It is increasing in every way, for the glory of it shall be greater than the glory of the former house. I open my eyes, and I see that the glow of this latter house is shining with the radiance of many suns.

I will walk in the light, and then shall there be no comprehension of my way by my foes. If I walk in the darkness, the things of the darkness shall make me their slave. God has brought unto me the glorious liberty of the gospel. He is the way, the truth and the life. I will go unto him, and he will show me great and mighty things that I do not know. I purpose not to be as the proud who fall everyday. I will not be as the haughty that run before the spirit that brings down to low-type living, but I choose to be as Jesus is, and walk meekly and lowly.

The Lord has light for his church. I will go and proclaim the words that he does put in my mouth, for he will speak in this hour through the vessels called to minister.

INSPIRATION

By Don Grigsby

RE: RHEMA - Our Faith Is An Authoritative, Winning Faith That Is Persuasive

Our Designer and maker will never give a command that he does not give more than enough promises and fulfillment to bring it to pass. His commands, in fact, compliment us because it considers the fact that we can, through his grace, be more than a conqueror. We are inspired by the promise that he is able to make all grace abound so that we will have all sufficiency in all things and abound to every good work. All the "abounds" in the original language have to do with super, excessive abundance. More grace than we will ever process in faith is always available to those who come boldly in faith.

Every arena of our faith has been reinforced and enhanced by ministering angels and ministers of faith. Every word of appreciation and phone call lets us know that even though we have not conversed with certain individuals who bring us words of confirmation, the Lord has us on the same network of hearing and faith.

Our instructions are to arise and to speak with authority the words that sound strange and foreign to many, but they are the treasured blessings from above to the thirsty and hungry soul. They are the bread and meat of our daily table. Will we be frightened and timid at our own table that the Lord has prepared for us?

Now we know that the enemy is always trying to trespass on private property. By our lips, we will post eviction notices against his intrusions. The hour has come for every one of his people that are aware of the words of power that he has laid a treasure in our heart and mouth to realize the sweep and scope of what happens when we declare with the authority of his name and sovereignty. Voices begin to thunder in the heavens that bear witness with our own. Rivers and doors of egress are thrown open in our lives and in lives beyond us that we may never see or hear from. Let us not be weary in well doing.

I have given you fresh bread. Break this bread open, and eat the bites available to you.

91. Why go hungry when your table is filled with goodness?

Your appetites for pleasure will not be spoiled until you have denied yourself of the love of the world.

92. How will you serve two masters?

93. Can you serve the god of the world and the Living God also?
