Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

Lift up your voice in thanksgiving, and I will show forth the glory of the word of the Lord. The word of the Lord has come to you, a Gentile. I have sent forth my word and placed it in your tongue. The word of the Lord God is in you. Now be confident of its expression of faithfulness and power. I hold all things together by the word of my power. Now expect to experience how I have held together my body and assured unity by my Spirit. The sword of the enemy shall not cut away those who are mine. Turn your eyes unto me, and place your hands to the plow of vision. Disassociate yourself from the instruments of darkness, and receive the yoke that I am giving you. My yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Enter into a new walk and a new way for you, the yoke, which is easy and the burden that is light.

Advice from the High and Elevated One While Tempted by Pride

I am your day star, your light for the darkness of the day and of the night. The future is dark and dismal to those without a light. I am the true light that lights every man that comes into the world. Shun the other gods and worship me, the only true God. I am with you to do wonders in you. Make a joyful noise unto me, for I have come with life and peace. Though the waters of the raging sea of life roar and leap up with the intent of drowning you, know that I am your shelter and your hiding place. Learn of me, and you shall find that I am meek and lowly. I do not need to seek the high things. I am the high and lofty one, yet I came meek and lowly. Seek to be meek and lowly, and then will you find rest for your soul. Strive to be known for the sake of pride, and you shall be a wandering star without any orbit to dwell in. Come and learn of me, for I am meek and lowly.

RE: RHEMA - Advice from the High and Elevated One While Tempted by Pride

Pride is the paltry wages of an ingrown ego. Pride screams for recognition on the false stages of life that burn to the ground in a moment’s time. Satan fell because he allowed his wisdom to become perverted. Pride perverts the view of the position that God created us to possess. If we allow the things that seem to be high to pull us away from him, we will drown in our own sea of destruction. Pride will eventually cause us to hate ourselves. We will become a torture chamber of unfulfilled desires. Our light comes from the Day Star and not from any false sources that we may have discovered in ourselves. Pride washes our eyes of the wonder of God and replaces it with wandering stars of the night.

Jesus is my day star, my light for the darkness of the day and of the night. The future is dark and dismal to those without a light. He is the true light that lights every man that comes into the world. I choose to shun the other gods and worship him, the only true God. He is with me to do wonders in me. I make a joyful noise unto him, for he has come with life and peace. Though the waters of the raging sea of life roar and leap up with the intent of drowning me, I know that he is my shelter and my hiding place. I purpose to learn of him, and I shall find that he is meek and lowly. He does not need to seek the high things. He is the high and lofty one, yet he came meek and lowly. I seek to be meek and lowly, and then I will find rest for my soul. If I strive to be known for the sake of pride, I shall be a wandering star without any orbit to dwell in. I come and learn of the Lord, for he is meek and lowly.

RE: RHEMA - Hidden In the Closet of Prayer with Grace During a War with Mysterious, Evil Warriors of the Darkness

He that has learned to dwell in the secret place of the Most High will abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Spiritual wars are raging on many fronts. As we abide in the presence of the Lord in a closet of prayer, we are kept from the bombardment of those who are just running to and fro seeking things in life. Grace protects the hearts of those who have wrapped themselves in the fellowship of his voice and keeps them in a compartment where the enemy cannot plot their course of their next move. Words are hurled at us that we do not understand, but grace has fashioned an anointed shield for the might that causes them to just fly away. If we try to plot our own strategy or reason our way through the mental mine field that has been laid out to destroy us, we will fail. Failure is obliterated by the shield of God's special forces of grace that will launch their offensive in the very face of the lies of the enemy. Minding the flesh will strangle us on the poison of its gases of mass destruction.

Crafty spirits and false prophets would like to assail our thinking with their graveyard dirt. We will throw it back in their face as we arise in the arms of fresh resurrection power and are washed by the refreshing power that takes the icicles of fear that the enemy would place in our soul and turn them into a refreshing shower. All misunderstanding and the dilemma of mysteries will be swept from the sky over our heads as we abide in him. Strange explosions may sound in our ears, but God, who causes the wrath of men to praise him, will cause our worship and praise in his arms to resound with trumpets of victory that will scatter the forces of the unseen foes before us. Any attack of the enemy will be overthrown by powers released in the fellowship of prayer that the enemy will never know what hit him. We do not understand, yet what forces are released when we pray?

More weapons are released in prayer that we do not see than the enemy can amass in all his history.
