Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

Caught Up in the Direction of Christ by a Brand New Holy Ghost and Fire Experience

By Moses Hightower

If I had withdrawn my mercy from you, you would not be standing. If my longsuffering had been shortened like yours, then you would already be cut off. If my grace were not sufficient, you would be without the kindness that has greeted you. Offer praise, for the sure mercies of David have come to you, a child grafted into this tree. Be forever grateful and thankful. I have overlooked your unbelief and forgiven your sins many times. You have transgressed in the same areas many times, yet my forbearance has allowed you more grace for your feet. Look to my tenderness and make a memorial in your heart for this moment of love and grace in your life.

Many have been named to man's list of fame. Rejoice that your name is written in the Lamb's book of life. The angels rejoice over one sinner who repents. Do not labor for the things that perish. This world shall pass away, and all the achievements of man shall become as a flower in the field. Do not seek to be recognized by man. Seek to please me. I have come to walk with you and to dwell inside of you. Make my journey with you pleasing. Seek a relationship with me that will warrant a testimony from me concerning you. Can I voice the testimony about you that I gave concerning Enoch?

He walked with me and was not, for I took him. He was translated and did not see death. My testimony concerning him was that he pleased me. The way you live before translation determines my testimony concerning you. How are you living?

Can I say, “This day you shall be in the presence of the Lord” if death came for you?”

The power of the Lord is working in the earth. The same grace that appeared unto Elijah is in the earth. The chariot of fire and the horses of fire have not vanished. The chariot of Israel resides in heavenly places. Pick up the mantle given you and speak my word with boldness. I live inside of you. I am not far off somewhere. I am living my life out through you. Behold the consuming fire inside of your body, my temple. Give me your body for fasting and prayer, and I will separate you from vile things of this life. Grant me total liberty inside of you, and I will show you the power neglected by you because of ignorance and unbelief. Give me all of your heart, and I will speak out of you prophetic utterances concerning the times in your face. Relinquish all of your mind to me, and I will allow you to hear the thoughts unheard of in this latter time.

I am not a respecter of persons. Many have men's persons in admiration. I do not consider any man's person. Their great swelling words do not move me. Man does not instruct me. No man can cause me to dislike you. Though you have experienced rejection, know of a truth that I have sent you; therefore, they have rejected me. Do not marvel at these sayings, for many are called, but few are chosen. Many of the called reject the chosen. The first shall be last and the last shall be first. Lift up your eyes from the way of man, and do not be concerned about their programs. I have sent a whirlwind of spiritual direction into your life. Now be caught up in the direction of Christ.

Ignorance, Negligence Rejection, and Unbelief

By Kenyetta Whitley

"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light, and there was light."

If Jesus had withdrawn his mercy from me, I would not be standing. If his longsuffering had been shortened like mine, then I would already be cut off. If his grace were not sufficient, I would be without the kindness that has greeted me. I offer praise, for the sure mercies of David have come to me, a child grafted into this tree. I will be forever grateful and thankful. God has overlooked my unbelief and forgiven my sins many times. I have transgressed in the same areas many times, yet his forbearance has allowed me more grace for my feet. I look to God’s tenderness, and I make a memorial in my heart for this moment of love and grace in my life.

Many have been named to man's list of fame. I rejoice that my name is written in the Lamb's book of life. The angels rejoice over one sinner who repents. I do not labor for the things that perish. This world shall pass away, and all the achievements of man shall become as a flower in the field. I do not seek to be recognized by man. I seek to please God. He has come to walk with me and to dwell inside of me. I make the Lord’s journey with me pleasing. I seek a relationship with him that will warrant a testimony from him concerning me. By the grace of God, he will be able to voice the testimony about me that he gave concerning Enoch. He walked with him and was not, for he took him. He was translated and did not see death. The Lord’s testimony concerning him was that he pleased the Lord. The way I live before translation determines his testimony concerning me. I am determined to live holy and uprightly before him. It is my prayer that if death came for me, Jesus would be able to say, “This day you shall be in the presence of the Lord.”

The power of the Lord is working in the earth. The same grace that appeared unto Elijah is in the earth. The chariot of fire and the horses of fire have not vanished.

RE: RHEMA - Caught Up in the Direction of Christ by a Brand New Holy Ghost and Fire Experience

Our personal glory is placed on the altar to be consumed with the rest of our being as a living sacrifice. We need his glory and his presence in our lives. In the book of Acts, the greatest testimony that the apostles received was that they had been with Jesus who was already gone. They were so immersed in the presence of God that their identity vanished. Other men judged them as ignorant and unlearned. It matters little which set of criteria or group of experts analyze us. It is imperative that they feel like they have been in the presence of the Holy One. God's awesome works are happening in the earth with the mighty demonstration of the Spirit so that men would be drawn to him. Heavenly storms of electromagnetism are flooding the earth. His purpose is that we will be empowered as never before and that we and the people around us would be drawn to him. Words of power are flowing out of prophetic wells to heal the broken and hurting. Our focus must be the command of the book of Ephesians that we can be continually and constantly filled with the Spirit of God. As we are filled with fresh and new inspiration, then revelations and doors into other dimensions will automatically open before us.

By Moses Hightower

Grace has leaped into your life. It has embraced you and led you past many being destroyed. Allow your heart to shout, and sing praises for the salvation that has kept you while the mighty are fallen. Do not rejoice that they are falling, but rather be grateful that grace was received when the fall came. Grace is my reward in this life, and love is your security if you love me. Peace is your stability while death and confusion plan to destroy the unstable souls of the hour. Joy is an undefiled river of fresh water in your soul while sadness and grief have become the sewer for those who hate me. While the instruments of spiritual adultery are fashioned and aimed to bind you to weak human ability, grace has led you beside the still waters of peace and love. Remain in these arms of love, and you will not hear the voice of weak human emotions as they express worthless words that shall fail on every corner.

Grace has leaped into my life. It has embraced me and led me past many being destroyed. I will allow my heart to shout. Now I will sing praises for the salvation that has kept me while the mighty are fallen. I do not rejoice that they are falling, but I am grateful that grace was received when the fall came. Grace is God’s reward in this life, and love is my security if I love him. Peace is my stability while death and confusion plan to destroy the unstable souls of the hour. Joy is an undefiled river of fresh water in my soul while sadness and grief have become the sewer for those who hate God.

RE: RHEMA - The Effect of the Living Spirit

God's measureless Spirit will give us a measure that will break every mold and crush every limitation. Lazarus is the type of the power of the Spirit that will dawn on the true believers in the last day. The Apostles in a boat wondered in the full blast of nature at what kind of man could command the laws of nature to obey him. In the last days, the Spirit that moved on the face of the deep will bring about the day of demonstration that we never thought was possible. Phenomenal events were the common things of life in the ministry of Jesus Christ. He has told us that we would do greater works than these. We will see this come to pass in the last days. If God gave his people billions of quail in their lust, what will he do in the full measure of the dimensions of righteous requests? In one of our recent prison meetings, the Lord spoke and said, "You are thrilled at the deliverance of Peter, Paul, and Silas from the prison, but I will, by my Spirit, deliver even the unrighteous to righteousness for my name's sake. It will not be for them to have a liberty to sin but for the liberty of my Spirit to be manifested to the world that does not believe that I am changing the convicts into conquerors." We should tear the limits off our minds and imaginations, for the expanse of what God is about to do by his Spirit is beyond us but has come to us.

By Moses Hightower

(Continued)

Come and tabernacle a tabernacle worth building. My waters will only remain in the cisterns that I build. Unless I build the house, then you have labored in vain. Do not labor any longer for perishing meat, but labor for the meat that will never perish. I am emptying out my Spirit upon the hungry and the thirsty.

336. Why is it that some of you are not hungry and thirsty?

I have not allowed my grace to retreat from your life. Grace continues to shine bright as it shows you the kingdom of God. Continue to live in the Spirit and do not be desirous of vain glory.

337. What do you have to glory about?

I thank you Lord for not withdrawing your mercy from me, or I would not be standing. If your longsuffering had been shortened like mine, then I would already be cut off. Your grace is sufficient; therefore, your kindness has greeted me. I offer you praise, for the sure mercies of David have come to me, a child grafted into this tree. By grace, I will be forever grateful and thankful. Gladness has filled my heart because you have overlooked my unbelief and forgiven my sins many times. I have transgressed in the same areas many times, yet your forbearance has allowed me more grace for my feet. I look to your tenderness, and I make a memorial in my heart for this moment of love and grace in my life.

I acknowledge that many have been named to man's list of fame. As for me, O Lord, I rejoice that my name is written in your Lamb's book of life. The angels rejoice over one sinner who repents. I purpose not to labor for the things that perish. This world shall pass away, and all the achievements of man shall become as a flower in the field. I am grateful for a right mind not to seek to be recognized by man, but I will seek to please you. You have come to walk with me and to dwell inside of me. I determine to make your journey with me pleasing. I desire a relationship with you that will warrant a good testimony from you concerning me. By your grace, you will be able to voice the testimony about me that you gave concerning Enoch. He walked with you and was not, for you took him. He was translated and did not see death. Your testimony concerning him was that he pleased you. I am honored to have the same opportunity to live right before translation, which will determine your testimony concerning me.

I am determined to live holy and uprightly before you. It is my prayer that if death came for me, you would be able to say, “This day you shall be in the presence of the Lord.”
It is awesome to know that your power is working in the earth. The same grace that appeared unto Elijah is in the earth. The chariot of fire and the horses of fire have not vanished. I praise you for the chariot of Israel that still resides in heavenly places. I pick up the mantle given to me and I will speak your word with boldness. You live inside of me. You are not far off somewhere. You are living your life out through me. I behold the consuming fire inside of my body, your temple. By your enabling power, I will give you my body for fasting and prayer, and I trust that you will separate me from the vile things of this life. I grant you total liberty inside of me, and I believe that you will show me the power that I have neglected because of my ignorance and unbelief. Your tender mercies will enable me to give you all of my heart, and you will speak out of me prophetic utterances concerning the times in my face.

My Lord, I relinquish my entire mind to you, and I pray that you will allow me to hear the thoughts unheard of in this latter time. It brings rest to my spirit because you are not a respecter of persons. Many have men's persons in admiration, but I am glad that you do not consider any man's person. Their great swelling words do not move you. Man does not instruct you. No man can cause you to dislike me. Though I have experienced rejection, I know of a truth that you have sent me; therefore, they have rejected you. I do not marvel at these sayings, for many are called, but few are chosen. Many of the called reject the chosen. My soul is relieved because the first shall be last and the last shall be first. I lift up my eyes from the way of man, and I will not be concerned about their programs. I bless your name, for you have sent a whirlwind of spiritual direction into my life. Now, I will be caught up into your direction.

I worship you because you are causing my personal glory to be placed on the altar to be consumed with the rest of my being as a living sacrifice. I need your glory and your presence in my life, Lord. In the Book of Acts, the greatest testimony that the apostles received was that they had been with you, who was already gone. They were so immersed in the presence of your Spirit that their identity vanished. Other men judged them as ignorant and unlearned. I pray to always have the mentality that it matters little which set of criteria or group of experts analyze me. I pray that those I come in contact with may feel like they have been in your presence, the Holy One. Your awesome works are happening in the earth with the mighty demonstration of your Spirit so that men will be drawn to you. Heavenly storms of electromagnetism are flooding the earth. I am excited about your purpose which is that I would be empowered as never before and that I and the people around me would be drawn to you.

Thank you for the words of power that are flowing out of prophetic wells to heal the broken and hurting. Your loving-kindness has brought me focus to obey the command of the book of Ephesians that I can be continually and constantly filled with your Spirit. As I am filled with fresh and new inspiration, then revelations and doors into other dimensions will automatically open before me. Hallelujah!

RE: PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING - February 28, 2007

God has chosen us to do the work that we were designed for before the foundation of the world. Why does he allow and seem to deliberately set people in our lives that would appear to unravel the very thread of our reputations and dignity? Job had some friends that were miserable at the job of comforting and great at the task of condemnation. Whether we are comforted or condemning, we have been fashioned to follow him and walk in the faith. As the angels about the throne in Ezekiel chapter one, we do not look to the right or the left. Our eyes are upon him who sits on the throne of the universe and upon the throne of our lives. Whoever else is in that audience does not matter as far as approval is concerned. The fact that I am there and hearing his voice lets me know that I am approved beyond the denial of any other living being.
