Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

You are dwelling in a safe place. My blessings are abundant. They are flowing plentifully. Behold the great things being done for those that love me, and seek me. I am doing great things, unsearchable things, and marvelous things, without number. You once dwelled in low places, but now I have set you on high. You mourned in the past, but now I have exalted you to the safety in my name. The sword of the enemy was about to cut you down, but I saved you from their sword and from his mouth. I saved you from the hand of the mighty and those who hated you. I am the great God who does things past finding out. My wonders are without number. Behold how awesome I am. I pass by you, and you do not see me. I am a God who hides myself. I pass by you, and you do not perceive me. I speak unto you, and I allow you to hear me. I talk to your brother, and you cannot hear me. Behold my ways. They are past finding out.

Do Not Hesitate In Your Belief, For You Have Been Delivered by the Hand of the Lord

Stand fast in the liberty that I have made you free in. You are fighting against a stubborn spirit. Doubt has been sent as a warrior against you to abort the promises made to you. Do not waver in your belief. You asked in faith. Now do not be as a wave of the sea that is driven with the wind and tossed. I reward those who are not double minded. A double minded man is unstable in all of his ways. Water is very unstable. I did not call you as water. I called you and made you a pillar. Do not hesitate in your belief. Have faith in me. If you say unto a mountain, "Be removed, and be cast into the sea," and do not doubt in your heart, but believe that the things that you say shall come to pass, you shall have whatsoever you say. What things you desire when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them. Think on the things that I told you to think on, and do not allow the presence of a doubtful mind. You have sought the kingdom of God first. Now only believe that the things you have need of shall be added unto you. It is my good pleasure to give you the kingdom. I know that you need a worship center. In due time, it will be given unto you. Rest in my promises. I have promised, and I will perform what I have promised. Do not stagger at my promises through unbelief, but be strong in faith while you give glory unto me. Be fully persuaded that what I have promised, I am able to perform. Believe me, and righteousness shall be imputed unto you. Do you believe that I raised Jesus from the dead after he was delivered for your offenses?

You are righteous before me, for I have counted you with the righteous. I am faithful, and I will bring the things that I have promised to pass. I am not slack concerning my promises as some men count slackness. I am longsuffering towards you. I am not willing that you should perish but desire for you to come to repentance. I am very patient toward you. Have you truly repented?

My word is gone out of my mouth. It will not return unto me empty. My word is tried. All my ways are perfect. I am your buckler, and you can trust me. I am the true God, a rock in this time of weariness. I have girded you about with strength and made your way perfect. I have made your feet like hinds' feet and set you upon the high places of the day. I have taught your hands to war. I will break the bow of the enemy for you by mine own arm. I have given you the shield of salvation and my right hand is holding you up. My gentleness will make you a great man, for I have enlarged your steps under you, and your feet will not slip. I have turned and pursued your enemies and overtaken them. I will not turn back until I have consumed them. They will not be able to rise again, for they are fallen under my feet. I have girded you with strength and subdued those who rose up against you. Take the necks of your enemies. They are destroyed. Who will they cry unto to save them, since they have chosen to be against whom I have sent?

I will not answer them, for I am not double-minded and fighting on both sides. I am for the truth and against all lies. I will beat them small as the dust before the wind. They shall be cast out as the dirt into the streets. Do not strive with them. I have made you the head and not the tail. Say, "Blessed be the Rock. Let the God of your salvation be exalted." I have delivered you from your enemies. I lifted you up above those that rose up against you. You have been delivered from those who sought to destroy your name. Sing praises to my name, for I have given you a great deliverance and showed you great mercy. You are Christ's seed and an heir according to my promises.

RE: RHEMA - Peace Abiding In the Face of a Silent Predator Whose Intent Is To Pervert Your Worship

Our worship is because of what God is. Our inability or failure has nothing to do with our ability to worship the King of kings. Before time began and after it ends, he will be the focus and center of all the universe. Worship put us in the throne room of the Prince of peace. He will keep us in perfect peace as our minds are constantly upon him and not on any other distractions. As we love him and his laws, we will have peace, and nothing shall arise to disturb that peace. Anger has become the addictive drug of choice of this hour. It affects the human brain and body much like other abused substances. Our enemy has made it easy for us to get a high out of being upset and filled with anger. People will always be pawns of the enemy that will try to arouse our ire and involvement that God will fight the battle for us. Our thoughts and worship are the intimate property of the lover of our soul. Peace that flows from him is the guardian of our minds. Our enemy has no right to the intimacy that we have with our beloved.

DOUBLE MINDEDNESS AND UNBELIEF

I stand fast in the liberty that God has made me free in. I am fighting against a stubborn spirit. Doubt has been sent as a warrior against me to abort the promises made to me. I do not waver in my belief. I asked in faith. Now I determine not to be as a wave of the sea that is driven with the wind and tossed. The Lord rewards those who are not double minded. A double minded man is unstable in all of his ways. Water is very unstable. He did not call me as water. He called me and made me a pillar. I do not hesitate in my belief. I have faith in God. If I say unto a mountain, "Be removed, and be cast into the sea," and do not doubt in my heart but believe that the things that I say shall come to pass, I shall have whatsoever I say. What things I desire when I pray and I believe that I will receive them, and I shall have them. I will think on the things that the Lord told me to think on, and I do not allow the presence of a doubtful mind. I have sought the kingdom of God first. Now I believe that the things I have need of shall be added unto me. It is his good pleasure to give me the kingdom. He knows that I need a worship center. In due time, it will be given unto me. I rest in his promises. He has promised, and he will perform what he has promised. I do not stagger at his promises through unbelief, but I am strong in faith while I give glory unto him. I am fully persuaded that what he has promised, he is able to perform. I believe God, and righteousness shall be imputed unto me. I believe that he raised Jesus from the dead after he was delivered for my offenses.

I am righteous before him, for he has counted me with the righteous. The Lord is faithful, and he will bring the things that he has promised to pass. He is not slack concerning his promises as some men count slackness. He is longsuffering towards me. He is not willing that I should perish, but he desires for me to come to repentance. He is very patient toward me. I truly repent. His word is gone out of his mouth. It will not return unto him empty. His word is tried. All his ways are perfect. He is my buckler, and I can trust him. He is the true God, a rock in this time of weariness. He has girded me about with strength and made my way perfect. God has made my feet like hinds' feet and set me upon the high places of the day.

He will not turn back until he has consumed them. They will not be able to rise again, for they are fallen under his feet.

The Lord has girded me with strength and subdued those who rose up against me. I take the necks of my enemies. They are destroyed. There will be no one for them to cry unto to save them, since they have chosen to be against whom God has sent. He will not answer them, for he is not double-minded and fighting on both sides. He is for the truth and against all lies. He will beat them small as the dust before the wind. They shall be cast out as the dirt into the streets. I purpose not to strive with them. Christ has made me the head and not the tail. I say, "Blessed be the Rock. Let the God of my salvation be exalted." He has delivered me from my enemies. He lifted me up above those that rose up against me. I have been delivered from those who sought to destroy my name. I sing praises to his name, for he has given me a great deliverance and showed me great mercy. I am Christ's seed and an heir according to his promises.

INSPIRATION

RE: RHEMA - The Light of Life Has Displaced Death's Shadow and the Devil's Threat

The Devil's threats are hollow, and his devices are powerless over those who have heard and tasted of the power of God's living Word. Our enemy will try to turn our questioning thoughts into a rowdy mob of protesters that will shout insults to our faith and the promise of God. No good thing will he withhold from his children. Condemnation always brings its bags of lies around to prance like a court jester to try to make us think we are not worthy of miracles because of our mistakes and failures. God's word is an indestructible seed. It will always bring forth and prevail in the purpose for which it was sent. Praises should continually ring in our mouth. Miracles are about to spring forth as the green leaves of the trees multiplying in the spring of the year. As we feast in thanksgiving and the reality of miracles, others will have an empty plate. Our promises are not empty but full and running over with his blessings.

Listen not to the voices of the serpents in the trees of the valley. These serpents are the children of Eve's enemy. Listen not to their words lest they spoil your faith. Listen to the voice of the spirit of God. You have ears. Now hear what I am saying unto you. My blood has made a way for you. My blood has paid the debts you owed.

121. Now who will lay any charge to you, for you are my elect?

I offered up the necessary sacrifice.

122. Now who will entice me not to give you all things?

The enemy has sent a campaign of fear and intimidation against you daily. The enemy intends to hamper your testimony by intimidating you. The stares of the spiritual enemies in dreams are terrifying. He has penetrated your dreams and attempted to corrupt the atmosphere of your peace and rest. The intimidating figures and icons of your dreams are real and so am I. I am sanctified in you. I am the Lord of hosts. Allow me to be your fear. Allow me to be your dread. Do not draw back because of the beasts who come to war against you. Paul fought with the beasts of Ephesus.

123. Do you think that the enemy has sent house cats to fight against you?

I am not slack concerning my promise as some men count slackness. Prepare for my coming. The world prepares to reel as a drunken man. I am coming for my bride in the face of this drunkenness. The day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night. The heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat. The earth and the works within the earth shall be burned up. All the things that man has placed his hope in shall be dissolved. Look unto me, and behold how they will be dissolved.

124. Seeing that these things shall be dissolved, how much more will I invalidate their effect against you?
