Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

Fear not. I am love. I cast out fear and the object of your fear. I have thrown this thing far from you; therefore, lift up your eyes unto peace, compassion, and security. I have not brought you this far to cast you aside in the field of rejects. Many of those who are now shipwrecked found their fields of destruction because they lost faith in me. Man cannot determine your end. Look again to me, and behold my nature. The cross of redemption describes my feelings and concerns for you. I did not endure the horrible bruising of the cross to lose you after buying you with a great price. I purchased you, and now I will keep you. There is no imbalance in my love. My love saved you. My love will keep you. Listen to the voice of the Spirit through David. Listen to the voice of the Spirit through Job. They are not insignificant characters in a book. They are ensamples for your life and the outcome of your life. I did not include them in my word and set them out of reach in faith, righteousness, and holiness. I am inside of you to guarantee results greater than their results. I have redeemed you and given you mighty justification as a vehicle of surety.

(RHEMA: Listening To the Voice of the Spirit Through Those Who Have Gone Before Us)

I do not fear because God is love. He casts out fear and the object of my fear. He has thrown this thing far from me; therefore, I lift up my eyes unto peace, compassion, and security. He has not brought me this far to cast me aside in the field of rejects. Many of those who are now shipwrecked found their fields of destruction because they lost faith in God. Man cannot determine my end. I look again to the Lord, and I behold his nature. The cross of redemption describes his feelings and concerns for me. He did not endure the horrible bruising of the cross to lose me after buying me with a great price. He purchased me, and now he will keep me. There is no imbalance in his love. His love saved me and will keep me. I listen to the voice of the Spirit through David and Job. They are not insignificant characters in a book. They are ensamples for my life and the outcome of my life. He did not include them in his word and set them out of reach in faith, righteousness, and holiness. He is inside of me to guarantee results greater than their results. He has redeemed me and given me mighty justification as a vehicle of surety.

The Joy of the Lord Is a Tool of War While Learning of the Fellowship of His Sufferings

I made this day, and I will make tomorrow. I have fashioned you in righteousness and accepted you in me. Have no fear, and fret not because of evildoers. I am the Light of the world, and I have hidden you in me. Believe not the effects in your body, for I have taken all your sicknesses and diseases upon me, and I will not put any of these diseases upon you. Believe my word, and understand who I am. I am the Almighty God, the Everlasting Father, and the Prince of peace. I am the beginning and the ending. I am Alpha and Omega. I have wrought a good thing in your midst. I, the Lord, the first and the last, have done this thing. I am he. You are my witnesses. I have chosen you that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me, there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me, there is no savior. Look and behold that there is no strange god with me. You are my witnesses that I am God.

I am the King of Israel and the Lord of hosts. I am the first, and I am the last. Beside me there is no God. I laid the foundation of the earth by my hand. My right hand spanned the heavens. When I call unto them, they stand up together. I am the Holy One of Israel. I am the Lord, thy God, which teaches you to profit. I lead you by the way that you should go. I have given you peace as a river and righteousness as the waves of the sea. None shall cut off your name, nor destroy you from before me. I have redeemed you. Now you will not thirst, nor hunger. I have given you peace that passes all understanding. I am he that lives and was dead. Behold, I am alive for evermore. I have the keys of hell and of death. I have given you faith and the testimony of my blood so that you might overcome. I am your God, and you are my son. I have given you water from the fountain of the water of life freely. Behold, I prepare to pour upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem the spirit of grace and of supplications. They shall look upon me whom they have pierced. Many nations shall come against them, but I will destroy all of them.

I am the Lord, and I change not. I am not a man that I should lie, neither the son of man that I should repent. I have opened my mouth and spoken. Now I shall do what I have said that I would do. I have spoken, and I will make it good. I have blessed you. Now no man can curse you. There is no enchantment that can be against you, neither is there any divination against you. Rise up, and prophesy unto my people of the great blessing that I have poured upon them. I am the Strength of the church and the Strength of Israel. I will not lie, nor repent. I am not a man that I should repent. I will endure forever. Man shall perish. All of them shall wax old like a garment. As a vesture, shall I change them, and they shall be changed. I am the same, and my years have no end. I am the same yesterday, today, and forever. I could not swear by any greater. It is impossible for me to lie. You can have a strong consolation today, for I have given you an anchor for your soul. It is both sure and steadfast. I have sent forth good gifts from above. They have come down from me, the Father of lights. There is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

I have given to every man the measure of faith. Now by the substance hoped for, the evidence of things not seen, you can be assured that this evidence is not circumstantial. This evidence is the proof of my love for you. This evidence is a speaking faith that will speak for itself. Open your mouth, and allow the faith that is in you to speak of the volumes of weighty truths that shall make the people free. You can testify and certify that I am true and so are my promises. Open your mouth today, and endorse my truth. Bring the Rhema word into the court of the devil, and declare the freedom of the people. I have given you the evidence of their liberty. Now go, and declare the independence of the people. The demons that have accused them have no case against them, for I have justified them. I have not paroled them. I have forgiven them. I have made a covenant with them, and my covenant is filled with promises. I am not a covenant breaker. I will keep my word to them, for I am bound by my word. Go and say, "You can hold out for your expectations. The Lord, your God, is under contract to you."

RE: RHEMA - The Joy of the Lord Is a Tool of War While Learning of the Fellowship of His Sufferings

Our measure of faith will always be the words of our bold confession in the vacuum of good. When there is no reason left to have faith, faith rises up and proclaims the miracle done. Faith is not and emotion. Faith is the word of God unsheathed from its holder and flashing in the morning light as the sword of the Lord's deliverance. We do not have to be weary in well speaking. Our faith is not based on our ability but on the identity of the One who is performing all things well in our lives. If the work was based on our ability, we would have most of our words fall to the ground as empty as the dust is itself. However, the maker of the universe, from the invisible dust, has spoken into our unformed world just as he did in the beginning of creation. Creation's force still is vibrant and powerful in the voice that rings within us.

Just recently the Lord spoke to me and said,

Every voice that you hear from those around you would like for you to sit in the pavilion of destruction when I have reserved you choice seating in the pavilion of power. Music is playing that tries to get you to sing the words of bitter defeat. Anger would rise up in you and cause your thinking to be its servant. I have called you to be my servant. I am the only wise God. I am the same eternal power that has delivered you again and again by an unbelievable margin of grace and strength.

Why would I change my love for you?

Why would I unlove you?

Why would I take my power away from your life?

I have found the heart and mind that I desire to set my tabernacle in the winds of time in. Everyone around will be sad as you have a continual feast of victory and provision as they weep for their losses. Vibrant faith is aggressive in its declarations of the infinite and eternal nature of the Lord who transcends the thinking of man. All the trivial and meaningless small talk that is just chaff in the wind before the impact of all that God is. Sweeping vistas of power that stretch into the endless past greet our vision every day. Endless planes of prevailing promises extend into the distant tomorrow beyond the sight of our eyes. Every promise that has been written and spoken will cover the earth with its abundance as the waters cover the seas. Rivers of unending and unmeasured depth flow from the door of the temple of God's kingdom. Out of our being and lips flow the waters that make death to turn loose of its prey. We are the executors of the will that has been settled forever in heaven. He has always been the word and the word will always be God. He remains absolute and sovereign over all the meaningless details that men would quibble about. He is the answer that has already settled every debate and silenced every question.

FEAR AND DIVINATION

Jesus made this day, and he will make tomorrow. He has fashioned me in righteousness and accepted me in him. I have no fear, and I will not fret because of evildoers. He is the Light of the world, and he has hidden me in him. I do not believe the effects in my body, for he has taken all my sicknesses and diseases upon him, and he will not put any of these diseases upon me. I believe his word and understand who he is. He is the Almighty God, the Everlasting Father, and the Prince of peace. He is the beginning and the ending, the Alpha and Omega. He has wrought a good thing in my midst. Jesus, the Lord, the first and the last, has done this thing. He is Jesus. I am his witness. He has chosen me that I may know and believe him and understand that he is. Before him there was no God formed, neither shall there be after him. Jesus, even he, is the Lord; and beside him, there is no savior. I look and behold that there is no strange god with him. I am his witness that he is God.

He has given me faith and the testimony of his blood so that I might overcome. Jesus is my God, and I am his son. He has given me water from the fountain of the water of life freely. I behold as he prepares to pour upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem the spirit of grace and of supplications. They shall look upon him whom they have pierced.

RHEMA

By Don Grigsby

I was praying and this came to me.

My eternal power brings to you words that the waves cannot whisper and the thunder cannot shout. Mighty waves of the sea sit in tranquil silence at the voice of their creator. Listen, you instruments of praise, and hear the mystery of the end times. So many voices have said "no" to what I have said "yes" to again and again. Only those listening for my expressions of greatness will have these treasures whispered in their ears. Every structure and association that wraps itself around the things that will be dissolved, will melt in the destruction that is inherent in itself. All those who have attached themselves to the arrows of my light and the shock waves of my thundering voice will ride in the chariots of war with me. These have lifted their voices and the winds of the critical and cynical have tried to howl them into silence. Those who have tried to silence them will be held up for rebuke because their own failures that they tried to cover up will shout louder than any trustworthiness they would try to set forth in themselves. The thunder of my power will cause them to stand in muted silence in awe of my displayed power. They will fall into the streets as the casualties of the waves of promises fulfilled come riding down the streets in the chariot thrones of my salvation. My salvation will ride upon the wings of grace to the ends of the earth and sweep away the lies and derogatory statements.

Feel the wind of my greatness now as it descends into the deepest pits of failure and reveals the treasures I had hidden there. Statues of the efforts of men will crumble into dust before the shock waves of my Words of power. I say to all you that think you have it figured out, who is holy and who is righteous, "Think again." You have no righteousness except I give it to you. If you cannot accept the words of righteousness that would be uttered into your lives, then you will have nothing at all unless I preserve you with righteous words of my prophets that you have banished to the wilderness of rejection. All those who set themselves as learned, shall appear as fools.

All those who think they know, will be left with their own empty thoughts because they cannot grasp one event of my power. All those who have tried to extinguish the influence of the inspiration of prophecy, will be destroyed by the flames of inspiration they have tried to put out. All those who have said, "God did not say it," their words shall be burned across the face of their own shame as they look for a word of help but will not find it because they have seared their own sensitivity to that which would be the way of deliverance out of their own despair.

WARFARE

The henchmen of Satan will not remain obscure in the shade of the evening because you have announced your entrance. These spirits did not come to play. They came to war against you with all of the depravity and wickedness of evil.

504. How will you fight against these rulers if you choose not to live holy?

505. How will you pin down these rulers if you are a part of the darkness?

506. How will you cast out devils if you are submitted to devilish motives and ideals?

507. How will you control an enemy that you are cohorts with?

The enemy has not entered into conflict with you without premeditation. If only you would awaken unto the reality of the warfare that you are engaged in, then you would not walk into this arena without prayer, without consecration, without love for your brothers and sisters.

508. How will you win a battle against mighty foes without love for one another?

509. How will you activate the individual power within you without love to work the faith within you?
