Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

Like a ship that was tossed and driven by an angry sea, you have been tossed to and fro by the enemy. I have allowed him to toss you that you might know that on the stormiest sea and in the greatest dilemma, I am always faithful. When I placed you on this stormy sea, I knew every wave that would be here. I knew every creature that would leap up out of the deep with threatening eyes and hungry mouths. I knew of the coldness on the stormy sea in the nighttime. I knew everything that you would face. You did not know, neither must you know. You need only consider that I will be with you through the stormy sea. I will make a way though you do not see a way. It is not important to see a way on the stormy seas of this life. I am your captain. I am your ship. I am your safety. I am your defense. I am everything that you need. Take courage, and rest in the voyage across this sea. I have determined already to not take you out of the stormy sea but to give you faith to cross it. Your flesh wants to come out of the stormy sea, but faith will not be built on the calm sea that you seek right now. The calm sea is ahead but not now. I have new confidence that I must place in you. It can only be built in the midst of the waves of depression ahead. You are already dressed for it, but I must dress you within with new confidence and new contentment.

(RHEMA: Take Courage and Rest In the Voyage Across the Stormy Sea)

Like a ship that was tossed and driven by an angry sea, I have been tossed to and fro by the enemy. God has allowed him to toss me that I might know that on the stormiest sea and in the greatest dilemma, he is always faithful. When he placed me on this stormy sea, he knew every wave that would be here. He knew every creature that would leap up out of the deep with threatening eyes and hungry mouths. He knew of the coldness on the stormy sea in the nighttime. He knew everything that I would face. I did not know, neither must I know. I need only consider that the Lord will be with me through the stormy sea. He will make a way though I do not see a way. It is not important to see a way on the stormy seas of this life. Jesus is my captain. He is my ship. He is my safety. He is my defense. He is everything that I need. I take courage and rest in the voyage across this sea. God has determined already to not take me out of the stormy sea but to give me faith to cross it. My flesh wants to come out of the stormy sea, but faith will not be built on the calm sea that I seek right now. The calm sea is ahead but not now. God has new confidence that he must place in me. It can only be built in the midst of the waves of depression ahead. I am already dressed for it, but he must dress me within with new confidence and new contentment.

The Vibrating and Reverberating Effect of the Living Word Will Create New Atmospheres and New Dimensions of Living

According to my mercy, I have saved you by the washing regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost. I have shed my mercy upon you abundantly. You are justified by my grace and have become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. You did not do anything to earn this. You cannot become righteous of yourself. You could not inherit the kingdom of God, but I washed you and sanctified you. I justified you in my name and by my Spirit. You have become one with me. He that is joined unto me is one spirit. You are my temple. You are not your own, for I bought you with a price; therefore, glorify me in your body and in your spirit, which are mine. I am building my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Go and wash my church with the washing of water by the word. I will present it to myself as a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing. My church should be holy and without blemish. I love my church. I love myself; therefore, I love my church. You are members of my body, of my flesh, and of my bones. The mystery has been revealed; therefore, abide in my love, and allow my love to abide in you. I was put to death in the flesh and quickened by the Spirit that I might bring you to me. Will I now lose you after having suffered for your sins?

I am one who is just. You were unjust. I suffered and died for you. Does that demonstrate my love for you?

You were without strength, but I died for you. Scarcely for a righteous man will one die. Perhaps, it may be that for a good man some would even dare to die. By chance, you might find a few that would offer their lives for a good man, but I purposed and gave a favorable notice that I would die for you because I loved you. I will now save you from wrath, for I have justified you by my blood. You were an enemy, but I reconciled you to myself by my death. Now that you are reconciled, I shall save you by my life. Go and utter the words of life in the ears of my people. Emit from your mouth, the very words that I have spoken in your ears that they may be washed thoroughly by the Rhema of God. Open your mouth that you may voice the sound of my word in their ears. Faith will come to them as you speak the Rhema of God. Go and be a trumpet's voice by the breath of God. Go and speak the word in their ears, and life shall be breathed upon them. Cut them loose from the things that bind them. Go and declare liberty and freedom in the house of God. Go and thunder with my voice, and the enemy shall cease his oppression. The angels shall applaud the acts of your faith. They shall rejoice at the repentant hearts in your midst. My goodness shall cause them to repent and turn from their evil ways. Allow my expression to flow through you, and I will set the captives free. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.

I will create a brand new atmosphere for dancing and rejoicing in the midst of my church. My word is quick and powerful. It shall create a reverberating effect among the people. I shall enlarge their coast, and they shall leap into new dimensions of living. They shall come forth as lively stones as the vibrating words of your mouth go forth into their hearing. They shall leap as the hind and shall realize that they are truly new creatures in Christ Jesus. All things have become new. They shall taste of the newness created by the Spirit. I shall loose them from everything that has shaken them in times past. Go and proclaim the Rhema word in their ears. I will make them free by my Spirit and cause them to dance on the places of victory. The living word shall cause them to hear again, and eat from the tree of life instead of the trees of abomination and the tables of death.

RE: RHEMA - The Vibrating and Reverberating Effect of the Living Word Will Create New Atmospheres and New Dimensions of Living

Regeneration is the original word "paling-genesis." It means "creation vibrating again and again throughout our being." It is as if God is taking the true Rhema word and washing the fabric of deity, that we are, over and over again. Every time we come to the house of the Lord or into his presence, we are cleansed by the same sound that produced light in the beginning. When he spoke and said, "Let there be light," he washed the face of the earth from the night that soiled its beauty that it would shine through. Our universe is filled with the moving signature sound waves vibrating at the heart of every galaxy and star. He spoke and they were. We have a more sure word of prophecy that abides in us as the Day Star has arisen in our hearts. We have been translated spiritually beyond the gravity of this world and into the kingdom of light and revelation.

Our whole world is dancing in the waves of x-ray, infrared, microwave, and sound that is not seen or experienced unless we have a receiver. We are the receiver of God's promises of power. He has set his love upon us. Out of this relationship, flows daily the commands that surround our lives with creative power. As God created light with sound, he creates revelation and blessing in our lives daily. His Word will shake the things, that mar our existence, out of our lives. Only those things that his Word has established will remain. Dimensions of power and promise are the launching pad and runway of those who will hear the call that John heard to come up higher. Our new platform of victory that we have been called to will dislodge all the stones of the enemy and will cause an avalanche on his plans. We will rejoice and speak the dancing words of the morning in the face of the clouds of this world.

RHEMA

RE: RHEMA - An Abundance of Prosperity Is At Our Door

I know that the Lord will break down all the barriers for prosperity in the lives of his people. Just recently in prayer he whispered to me,

I will show of a certainty who are the wealthy in this last day and why. I will be vindicated in my children.

Many are coming in my name saying, "I am Christ," and shall deceive many. Iniquity is abounding more than ever before, and the love of many is at a very cold point. Love my law and me and then will your heart be armed against being offended. Betrayal is rampant. Hatred has become a sea of coldness. Its waves flow through the earth like a river when it is out of control. The unfaithful shall be cast into this river of hatred, and many shall die for the word of God and the testimony that they hold. I have called you. I have chosen you. Now be faithful.

32. How will you endure unto the end if you are not persuaded to be faithful?

33. How will you be caught away before the great day of my wrath with spots and wrinkles in your garment?

34. Am I pleased with spots and wrinkles in the garments of salvation?

My life, which is your light, will be manifest in your body in every trial, for you are delivered unto death for my sake. Through all these things, my life is made manifest in your mortal flesh. Death works in you, but life works exceedingly more.

35. Do you believe this?

Lift up your voice, and share the riches of this great grace. I have made you rich during this famine of the hearing of the words of God. I sustain natural life.

36. How much more will I continue to sustain you with my words?
