Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

I am the God of truth. I am without iniquity. I am just and right. The father of lies or his evasions do not hinder me. I am from everlasting to everlasting, and my truth endures to all generations. Be not removed from fact and actuality. If you twist the truth, you create a different model. The truth is the only original. Buy not the prototypes of the enemy. Here is the truth. I have given it unto you. Buy it, and do not sell it. The truth has been sold in the streets. Merchants of religion have sold out. I was sold but for your sake. Now buy not the religious lies sold under fabricated crosses by another Jesus. The entirety of my word is truth. Anything less than its entirety is a lie. I speak and act according to the truth. It is impossible for me to lie; therefore, stand fast in the truth, and be not intimidated by lies and those who lie to you.

(RHEMA: Set Free from the Custody of Darkness by the Truth)

Jesus is the God of truth. He is without iniquity. He is just and right. The father of lies or his evasions do not hinder the Lord. He is from everlasting to everlasting, and his truth endures to all generations. I will not be removed from fact and actuality. If I twist the truth, I create a different model. The truth is the only original. I will not buy the prototypes of the enemy. Here is the truth. God has given it unto me. I will buy it, and I will not sell it. The truth has been sold in the streets. Merchants of religion have sold out. Jesus was sold but for my sake. I will not buy the religious lies sold under fabricated crosses by another Jesus. The entirety of God's word is truth. Anything less than its entirety is a lie. The Lord speaks and acts according to the truth. It is impossible for him to lie; therefore, I stand fast in the truth, and I am not intimidated by lies and those who lie to me.

The Expression of the Resurrection Swings Through Your Life Today As Righteousness Intervenes

Today is a day of rejoicing. Today is a day of gladness. Today is a day of victory. Be glad in this day that I have made for you. Allow not sadness and grief to invade the territory of redemption. The light of gladness is not a dim light of frustration and self-justification, but the light of gladness is a light of victory and a light of faith. Without faith, you cannot please me. Without faith, you will not behold the light that is within you. Doubt seeks to undermine the power of faith in you and cause you to look outside at the intimidation of uncertainty. Your future is not in what you see, but your future is inside of you. I am your future, and I will not change. I will be there when you arrive. I am here where you are sitting. Now allow grace to teach you of the power of relationship.

The relationship in righteousness is not nullified by the cares of your mind and the clouds outside your temple. Righteousness is expressing itself in a certain manner. The manner of righteousness is sure and mighty. The expression of righteousness is swift and accurate. Behold the expression of righteousness as it comes through your life with the awesomeness of the power of the resurrection. Nothing will be the same after righteousness has swung through your life. It will change the structure of everything that is failing and cause everything pertaining to you to be a success. Lean not to your own understanding. Your own understanding cannot perceive of the power of the resurrection. By the spirit, I am imparting the spiritual understanding that will unveil resurrection's power to you. I am pulling back the veil from your mind, and I am wiping the scales from your eyes that you might see the magnificence of the resurrection in the earth. I am the resurrection and the life. The dead things are now living. The crooked things are being made straight. The high things are being brought low. The dry things are being watered. The miraculous power of the resurrection is bringing to life the deadness of the dry bones of spiritual graveyards. Can the bones of the dead, who once knew me, live?

The bones of the dead are being revived, for I am speaking faith in the ears of those who desire deliverance. Though the dead in relationships lay wasted in the bleached sun of destruction, my love has moved upon their valleys with a fresh breath of my love upon their bones. They will revive and stand upon their feet. Their hearts will beat to the rhythm of my love and the pumping of my power. Their eyes will behold the worship of the church, and their ears shall hear the joyful sounds of praise to their God. I will not forget those who have nourished from the breast of my church. Their mothers may forget them, but I will not forget those whom I gave suck to through my body.

Lift up your voice, and send the sounds of faith into the earth. The trumpets of damnation have played the tune of taps and draped the caskets of failure with the flags of the world. I have stepped into the parlor of damnation and canceled the procession of damnation by the authority of holiness. Things are standing still because of my entry into your presence. I have walked into the chambers of holiness and lifted my body above the intimidation of damnation. Damnation has sought to beguile you and bring you to the doors of shame. Righteousness intervened and shoved the spirits of damnation aside while love walked down the chambers of praise. Your King has walked into the courts of royalty that you designed by your worship. I receive your praises, and I inhabit them. I am pleased to dwell in the praises of those called by my name. Lift your eyes unto the awesomeness of your King. Lift your eyes to the greatness of the deliverer. Lift your eyes to the incomprehensible love of your Savior. I am doing a work in this day and in this hour that you will not believe. Behold the expression of the resurrection through your life today.

RE: RHEMA - The Expression of the Resurrection Swings Through Your Life Today As Righteousness Intervenes

Today is more than today. Eternity stepped into time through the unlimited door of the resurrection. Our mouths should be filled with the excitement of the defeat of death in all its forms. Resurrection has commanded the forces of faith to march on the citadels of doubt, and they have been conquered. The ultimate revelation of today is the resurrection. Unbelief and fear have robbed us of the eternity of now. We miss the blessings of today because we allow them to be sealed behind the stinking stones of yesterday. The resurrection introduces us to the eternal Sabbath. Men argue over what day he was born, buried, and resurrected while the whole creation dances around us in their daily celebration. We allow today to become the narrow, gloomy hallway between a vast yesterday and tomorrow. While, all the time, God wants us to make today into a massive banqueting house with yesterday and tomorrow as the narrow hallways on either side. The resurrection will stand in the midst of the flood of thousands of yesterdays of guilt, shame, and punishment and lift us out of the mouth of death into today's paradise. He has rolled away the stone from today forever!

DAMNATION, DOUBT, GRIEF, UNCERTAINTY, AND SADNESS

Today is a day of rejoicing. Today is a day of gladness. Today is a day of victory. I will be glad in this day that the Lord has made for me. I do not allow sadness and grief to invade the territory of redemption. The light of gladness is not a dim light of frustration and self-justification, but the light of gladness is a light of victory and a light of faith. Without faith, I cannot please God. Without faith, I will not behold the light that is within me. Doubt seeks to undermine the power of faith in me and cause me to look outside at the intimidation of uncertainty.

RE: RHEMA - The Weapons In the Impenetrable Tower of the Name of the Lord Are Impressive

Truly, the name of Jesus has thrown down the strongholds and the enemy spirits of torment and defiance for us here this week. Several impossible requests (as far as human reasoning) were answered in multiples all at once.

(1) A lady's grandson was acquitted of a double DWI homicide that all the lawyers said was impossible. The Lord had given me a word for his father at the Church of Champions on a Sunday night over a year ago.

I have already passed judgment on your behalf for mercy. It is because of the mercy his grandparents have sown in the lives of others. No man or court will be able to recind it.

(2) One of our very poor ladies received several hundred dollars in the mail as an answer to her need.

(3) One of the chaplains that was a problem was reassigned. His name will be the firebrand in a thousand "mighty fires" that will turn the devil into ashes before us.

I believe that God has some surprises hidden in the power of his name that will be revealed in this last hour. A feast of victory of those who love his name is about to be served!

The resurrection is a living expression that gives evidence of man's acquittal. All who do not accept the glorious gospel will remain under the conviction of the charges against all men. They will be sentenced to the judgment of damnation.

176. Why accept the sentence of damnation when the price for deliverance has been paid to ransom you from sin?

Many have not taken a sincere notice of what I have said. They have not inclined a listening ear to my voice but have walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart. They have gone backward and not forward. They have become hardened in their hearts through the deceitfulness of sin, not holding the beginning of their confidence steadfast unto the end. Go and say in their ears, "Today if you will hear the voice of God, harden not your hearts as in the provocation."

177. How can you be a part of my bride if you grieve me?

I desire to say concerning you, "This is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased." Without faith, it is impossible to please me. Look up into the heavenly places, and notice that the heavens are opened unto you. I dwell within you, and I am speaking inside of you.

178. Why listen to another testimony when you have access to my testimony within you?

The apostasy of the hour was placed into motion because of unbelief. Do not join these renegades. Stand fast in the liberty wherewith I have made you free from all bondage. Clothe yourself with the whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand in this evil day.

179. How will you stand if you have not pledged with your mouth an open declaration of your trust in me?

Many have gone back to their old ways because they did not hold fast to a good profession of faith. The decline of a good profession of faith is at the heart of backsliding, for by your words, are you justified, and by your words, are you condemned. Be not condemned because of a faulty confession, but rise up, and speak as one betrothed to a woman deeply loved. If you deeply love me, then lay aside the declaration of worry and unbelief. Your confession is an admission of where your heart is. If your heart belongs to me, then give my faithfulness an entrance into it by a declaration of trust in my word. Open your heart unto my word, and you will have confided in your burden-bearer. Open your heart to me, and I will unburden it. Speak with confidence in what my word has said, and behold the release of all your burdens. Open your mouth, and confess the truth of my word then will you pay tribute to me, and give me credit for freely giving you all things. I gave myself for your sins.

180. Now who will prevent me from giving you all things?
