Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

I am dwelling in your heart by faith. Be strengthened with might by my Spirit in your inner man. The riches of my glory supply all that you need. Be assured that I am able to do exceeding, abundantly above all that you ask or think, according to the power that works in you. Greater am I, who is in you, than he that is in the world. Let not your heart be troubled. My voice thunders in the earth with the voice of excellency. My thunder announces the rain of blessings upon you. I will seal up the hand of man and send the fearful beasts back to their dens and their caves. I will chase away the whirlwind of destruction and send a fire against the cold threats of the enemy. My breath is upon you to furnish new life and vigor. My breath shall become a frost in the face of your enemies and a cloud to the vision of those who oppose you. You will not go unpunished for your sins and your iniquities, but mercy is the design of your correction. Behold my wondrous works. In a very cold time for you, I have supplied you with warm garments and set a new quietness in your midst. Your words are ordered of me. They trouble the darkness, but they will bring light to those chosen to hear.

(RHEMA: The Fanfare of God's Thunder Announcing Our Blessings)

God is dwelling in my heart by faith. I will be strengthened with might by his Spirit in my inner man. The riches of his glory supply all that I need. I am assured that he is able to do exceeding, abundantly above all that I ask or think, according to the power that works in me. Greater is he, who is in me, than he that is in the world. I will not allow my heart to be troubled. God's voice thunders in the earth with the voice of excellency. His thunder announces the rain of blessings upon me. He will seal up the hand of man and send the fearful beasts back to their dens and their caves. He will chase away the whirlwind of destruction and send a fire against the cold threats of the enemy. His breath is upon me to furnish new life and vigor. His breath shall become a frost in the face of my enemies and a cloud to the vision of those who oppose me. I will not go unpunished for my sins and my iniquities, but mercy is the design of my correction. I behold his wondrous works. In a very cold time for me, he has supplied me with warm garments and set a new quietness in my midst. His words are ordered of the Lord. They trouble the darkness, but they will bring light to those chosen to hear.

Infinite Love, the Leaning Post For Balanced Faith

Enter my gates with thanksgiving. Come into my courts with praise. I am God, and there is no other God beside me. I have accepted your praises and listened to your prayers. Prayers are not vain words spoken into the air, but your prayers came unto me, and I have considered your words and your intents. Be not discouraged because of your lack of understanding of my timing. Remember, my thoughts are higher than your thoughts, and my ways are higher than your ways. My timing is not your timing; therefore, rest in confidence that I have heard you and will answer according to my own will and not your own. Deliverance has already come. Simply trust in my infinite love for you, and lean not to your own understanding. You have leaned on your own understanding and lost the balance of faith. Faith has a balance and so does charity. Lift your eyes to my wisdom and understanding and then will you see clearer.

I have not faltered in attempting anything. My ways are perfect, and there is nothing impossible for me. I am the only Lord God, the lifter of your head. I have not failed in lifting you from the ruins of the latter days. I have sent forth the resurrection power and raised you up together with me into a heavenly place. Be content to abide in the heavenly places that I have caused you to reside in. Lift your eyes to contentment and godliness instead of bowing your head to the pits of despair. Worry no longer about the size of the congregation here, for your worry is rooted in spiritual pride and ignorance to the will of God. I am the builder of the house and the keeper of the house. I add to my body daily such as should be saved. Now lean to me and not to yourself.

Lift your eyes to me. Lift your head to the hills of salvation, and behold the help in the hills. Lift your faith from the dead places where the vultures live, and come to the clouds filled with latter day rain. The clouds of rain are being emptied out by the Spirit of God. Now come away with me, and leave the valley of frustration forever. I am not the author of confusion but of peace. Enter the rest designed for you, and you will find that the hour of great revival has flourished in your midst while you have slumbered with the drunkards of the hour.

Lift your eyes from the vomit of dogs and thieves. The dogs of the hour are drunk with the slumberers. Shun this fellowship of losers, and come into my throne room of grace for an abundant supply of grace that the work might be fulfilled. I have not shut off the avenue to the throne. You have drawn back from the fellowship of the spirit. Now that grace has drawn you again, allow this grace to keep you in the presence of grace. I have sent forth freshness into your heart, and now shall you see the beauty of my grace working on your behalf. My grace is sufficient for you. Look to its sufficiency, and you will lose the heaviness that you bear. I have placed an easy yoke and a light burden upon you. Now lift your head as I pour grace into your lips. Speak this same grace into the ears of those who are cast down by confusion and weariness.

RE: RHEMA - Infinite Love, the Leaning Post For Balanced Faith

Our lives should have the centering feature of the worship of him because of his infinite and unconditional love. Our abilities then will never get in the way because we know it is all because of him and not our efforts. Faith works by love. His love never faileth. Hope and faith may fail but his love will never quit. Its work is beyond our observation. It works under the radar of life. Even in the sub conscience of those we are praying for. As we cannot force a rose to open, we cannot demand that love will hurry its work. It has its own perfect timing. Events of time and eternity of everyone and everything are in the symmetry of the operation of the love that is working constantly in us and around us. Love will finish the work that God has promised. If we want people saved, how much more does he desire that no man would perish?

Grace has on the gloves of love and it will surely gather in a harvest where the love of many has waxed cold. Love's intensity will keep the fire of revival burning until the work is done.

CONFUSION, DISCOURAGEMENT, AND MY OWN UNDERSTANDING

I enter God's gates with thanksgiving. I will come into his courts with praise. Jesus is God, and there is no other God beside him. He has accepted my praises and listened to my prayers. Prayers are not vain words spoken into the air, but my prayers came unto him, and he has considered my words and my intents. I am not discouraged because of my lack of understanding of God's timing. I remember, his thoughts are higher than my thoughts, and his ways are higher than my ways. God's timing is not my timing; therefore, I rest in confidence that he has heard me and will answer according to his own will and not my own. Deliverance has already come. I simply trust in God's infinite love for me and lean not to my own understanding. I have leaned on my own understanding and lost the balance of faith. Faith has a balance and so does charity. I lift my eyes to God's wisdom and understanding and then will I see clearer.

Jesus has not faltered in attempting anything. His ways are perfect, and there is nothing impossible for him. He is the only Lord God, the lifter of my head. He has not failed in lifting me from the ruins of the latter days. The Lord has sent forth the resurrection power and raised me up together with him into a heavenly place. I am content to abide in the heavenly places that he has caused me to reside in. I lift my eyes to contentment and godliness instead of bowing my head to the pits of despair.

INSPIRATION

By Don Grigsby

RE: RHEMA - The Light of Love Guides Us In the Way of Peace

Light shall overwhelm and swallow up the darkness. Light will become so brilliant in the evening time that the shadows of darkness that hid many deceptive events will be boldly exposed. We must fall before him and repent of any propensity toward darkness. As children of light, everything that is born in us or of us should have the seed of the light of revelation that will cause to rise from its planting the dawning of the day of the Lord in every heart. His knowledge will cover the earth as do the seas. All that desire to hide their lust and false works will be swept away by the winds of revival and fresh inspiration.

Life is in these words. Vision is produced by these words. Out of a dry valley and an unlikely abode, these words are bringing forth a powerful miracle. Close your human eyes, and behold your miracle with the eyes of the word that abides in you. Behold the numerous things that your mind cannot conceive. These things are beyond you but possible within me and by me. Lean on the possibilities of your God, and close the doors of impossibilities before your face.

166. Have I brought you this far to abandon you in this desert and allow your bones to bleach in the sun of trial?

I have brought you into this desert to bless you. I will make your desert blossom as a rose. There shall be fresh streams in your life like you have never seen before. I shall bring to pass many of the promises to you in this desert. The desert shall be a place of blessing, not a place to be scorched with destruction. Prepare to be blessed, for I shall bless you. The blessings are being rained down upon you right now. Prepare to be blessed.

167. Are you ready to be blessed in the magnitude that I have planned to bless you?

I have opened the windows of heaven, and I am pouring out the things that I promised upon you. I have opened up avenues that are unimaginable for your mind. I will do things in the presence of your enemies. I shall make them ashamed, for they have despised whom I have sent unto them. Prepare to be received by the multitudes that I have assembled together to hear the living word of God. There is no way to turn me from blessing you as I have promised. My promises shall not be revoked. They shall come to pass in the presence of your enemies. I will open my storehouse to you in their faces of awe. I will do astounding things in their presence for you and your seed. Look to me, the author and the finisher of your faith. I am the same yesterday, today, and forever. I am for you.

168. Now who can be against you?

Speak the names of your enemies.

169. Can you call all their names?

I am both Lord and Christ. Go and preach who I am, and fear not their faces. My word is in your tongue. Go and declare this truth, and they will be pricked in their hearts. The love of many is waxing colder. I am a consuming fire. I am a consuming fire of love.

170. Where are those who love like the apostle Paul?
