Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

The life that is flowing unto you and in you has not ceased with a touch upon your hands, but your entire life has been ministered to by the words of life in your hearing. I have sent my word and healed you. I have sent my word and called you forth from the tombs of frustration. My will is not to have you perish in the tombs of your enemies. My will has been done in heaven. Now it is being done in you. You will not perish in the hands of the cruel masters of illusions. You will not perish in the hands of spiritual regression. You will not perish in the hands of spiritual decay. I have brought you the restoration and placed it inside of you. Allow the reality of faith to surge through your spirit and then will your body follow the lead of that which has already happened. Though doubt applies its final squeeze on your heart; though anxiety applies its final pinch on your nerves; though complexity flashes its final illusion of impossibility; though discouragement’s gravity pulls with all its might; though despair looms as a giant falling meteor; though imagination’s designer paints its finishing touch of carefully calculated defeat; though the evil sculptor chisels out a statue that represents your life in his hall of fools; though the host of evil assimilates an army of skilled warriors; though the evil prosecuting attorney of the air presents his evidence of your guilt, look away from all these things to the blood of your lover. Now which one of these things can find you under this holy, sanctified blood?

The Obliteration of Disorder by the Day Star

The way out of every impossibility is already made. I have not left you ensnared in a hopeless dilemma, but I have set before you an open door. There is no one that can shut that which I have opened. I have opened a door of liberty and set it before you. Do not be a servant to sin, for whom you yield your members to, then that is your master. He that commiteth sin is the servant of sin; therefore, yield your members unto righteousness and holiness. Your master is the liberator of all mankind. I have bought you with precious blood, and now you belong to me. I will not rule over that which is not freely given me, for I am not a thief or a dictator. I have freely loved you and given my life for you; therefore, freely give me all your heart, all your mind, all your soul, and all your strength. When I reign as Lord of all of your life, then shall you walk through the open door of liberty. Liberty beckons you and invites you to taste of its sweet fruit. You have two doors before you. Choose this day which door you shall enter in. Life and death are always before you. Do not be a fool and choose after the choosing of Adam. Adam fell from liberty and righteousness, but I have placed you in the second man Adam who did not fall from righteousness. The second man Adam fulfilled all righteousness. Now walk in the steps of his righteousness that are set before you. The steps of a good man are ordered of me. Walk in these ordered steps before you and then shall you find life and peace.

I have come with a scepter of righteousness in my hands. Reach out, and touch the scepter before you, and enter into the joy of liberty in Christ. I have not left you comfortless, but I have come to you. I have taken up residence in you, and now there is the ability, the desire, and the sufficiency to do all things. Walk while you have the light and then darkness will not over take you. Walk in the light as I am in the light, and my blood shall continually cleanse you from all sin.

The Day Star is shining. Its radiant glow of glory sets forth the examples of power that are available to those who walk in the light of this star. I am the star of the day, and my glory will not be shared with any other. Those who partake of my glory shall be in me; therefore, make your calling and election sure. Work out your salvation with fear and with trembling. The Day Star shines its mighty glow of victory in the face of the adversaries of the church. Do not be a part of the systems of the world, for the glow of my glory shall obliterate all that is not in Christ. My kingdom shall fill the whole earth, and my righteousness shall shine brighter than many suns. Come into right relationship with me and with man. Follow peace and holiness. Follow peace and then shall you be in right relationship with all men. You shall see me but not now. Soon shall you see Shiloh face to face. Make your calling and election sure.

RE: RHEMA - The Obliteration of Disorder by the Day Star

Entropy is the measure of the disorder in the universe. We have not been assigned to the black holes of imploding galaxies. Light is coming down from the Father of lights who does not have any variableness or shadow of turning. The bright and morning star has pulled us with the gravity of creation and not of destruction. It is said to be impossible to escape the crushing anti-gravity of entropy, but now they have proven that light can escape it and that it literally becomes a producer of light on the other side. Could it be that disorder is deity disrobing destruction in the closet of creation that we have mislabeled by lack of understanding? If God makes the wrath of men to praise him then he can change the mirrors and lens of grace and turn the images of distortion into details of delight. Light can refract and diffuse the colors of sadness into the brilliant colors of gladness. God has dressed us for the wedding and not the funeral. Peace of mind is walking the path of the light of heaven that shines into endless day. Morning has broken the curse of the darkness, and we are free to rejoice.

DISORDER

The way out of every impossibility is already made. Jesus has not left me ensnared in a hopeless dilemma, but he has set before me an open door. There is no one that can shut that which he has opened. He has opened a door of liberty and set it before me. I will not be a servant to sin, for whom I yield my members to, then that is my master. He that commiteth sin is the servant of sin; therefore, I yield my members unto righteousness and holiness. My master is the liberator of all mankind. He has bought me with precious blood, and now I belong to him. The Lord will not rule over that which is not freely given him, for he is not a thief or a dictator. He has freely loved me and given his life for me; therefore, I freely give him all my heart, my entire mind, all my soul, and all my strength. When he reigns as Lord of all of my life, then shall I walk through the open door of liberty. Liberty beckons me and invites me to taste of its sweet fruit. I have two doors before me.

He has come with a scepter of righteousness in his hands. I reach out and touch the scepter before me, and I enter into the joy of liberty in Christ. God has not left me comfortless, but he has come to me with security. He has taken up residence in me, and now there is the ability, the desire, and the sufficiency to do all things. I will walk while I have the light; therefore, darkness will not over take me. I walk in the light as he is in the light, and his blood shall continually cleanse me from all sin.

I choose not to be a part of the systems of the world, for the glow of his glory shall obliterate all that is not in Christ. His kingdom shall fill the whole earth, and his righteousness shall shine brighter than many suns. I come into right relationship with him and with man and follow peace and holiness. I will follow peace and then I shall be in right relationship with all men. I shall see him but not now. Soon shall I see Shiloh face to face. I am determined to make my calling and election sure.

INSPIRATION

RE: RHEMA: Freed from the Obligation To Live After Our Lower Nature by the Grace of God

In the beginning, God created a firmament between the waters above and the waters beneath. This atmosphere keeps the waters beneath from drowning us in the natural sense. Grace creates, in the new birth and the exercise of worship in spirit and truth, a firmament of power that keeps the lower or Adamic nature from drowning us spiritually. By creating a firmament of power by worship of the only true God, we preclude the worship of self and deny self any occasion to sit on the throne that was created for God alone. Self will always bring its stormy tides of fury up to the very gates of every decision and action of our life. We must determine to build a wall of the crucifixion of self as a sea wall against this rising tide. Men have been described as raging waves of the sea, foaming out of their own shame. God did not give us the emotional energy and outlets to be selfish but to be selfless in all our volitional actions. Romans chapter 6 describes the slaying of the body of sin. The law of sin and death does reside in our members. However, we need to mortify or spiritually embalm those features. Take away all their life fluids, and replace them with the power of his death on the cross to preserve the death of our sinful nature. The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made us free from the law of sin and death. The words "condemned sin in the flesh" means like the condemnation and execution of the offender, so he will never affect the individual preyed upon again. "Destroy sin in the flesh or the body of sin" means in the Greek to deprive sin of its power or influence to affect the individual. By his example on the cross, we die daily but in truth are liberated daily from the tyranny of the sinful, lower nature to rise up and imprison us. Faith will create the true arena of power to walk in, free from the incursions of lust and pride. Faith is more than just believing the supernatural. It should be the consuming fire of obedience that destroys every vestige of rebellion in our hearts. Grace has already declared the mandates of our newly acquired freedom from the lower nature. We must declare these fervently every day.

Come from the empty chambers of trouble, and abide in the fresh chambers of prosperity and peace. Salvation is speaking on your behalf.

190. Will you turn a deaf ear to the voice of Rhema in your ears, or will you leap for joy with the new experience that is born in you?

Come forth, and destroy the effectiveness of debt in the lives of the people by testifying of its perils and webs. The debt spider has been crushed by the feet of grace. Now dance on the venom and poison of its mouth. Destroy the eggs of the spider in your life. Do not leave anything in your midst in relationship to debt, but make me the owner of your life and your possessions. I must be the owner, and you must be the steward. As the owner of your life and your things, I will now teach you of good stewardship. Lift up your eyes to the power of worship in the sanctuary. Lift up your mind to the power of joyful expressions and gladness in the sanctuary. I will show you the power of praise and the power of gladness. Come forth, and join me in the dance now. Join me in the celebration of your victory for my name’s sake.

191. Will you rejoice?

192. Or will you cry because of unbelief?
