Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

Rescued by God's Unfailing Love, Overwhelmed by Grace, and Hidden in the Closets of Prayer When Attacked by Warriors of Strange Languages and Mysterious Strategies

By Moses Hightower

I will never abandon you. I am with you always, even unto the end of the age. Those who come to earthly leaders may be cast out after they have labored. I will in no wise cast out those who come to me. Worship me as the scriptures have spoken of me, and living waters shall flow out of you. Though the warfare is oftentimes very mysterious, do not be discouraged or afraid. Though you do not speak the language of war, the gift in you will suffice and become all that you need among these warriors of strange languages and mysterious strategies. Your survival is not dependent upon man. Your survival is totally dependent upon me. The arm of flesh will grow weary and fail you. The mind of flesh shall waver and draw erroneous conclusions. I have given you the mind of Christ. The perception of my mind does not err. It is flawless and infinite. Break your dependence on the arm and mind of flesh. Be joined again unto total trust in me. Miracles are ready to flow unto you from my revealed arm of the Lord. I have revealed the arm of the Lord unto you. My right hand is not hidden from you. I have sent it forth, and now shall these giant mysterious things be subdued in your presence.

I did not send you out into the darkness without a light. I am the light that you need. I am the inside light shining everywhere you travel. This light is spirit. It supplies you with wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of me, the only Lord God. You are growing in grace and in the knowledge of me. You will become more aware of your growth in Christ during this mysterious trial. This trial has been as a foreign language without an interpreter. You have walked in uncertain paths where evil has observed you through perverse eyes. You have been interrogated by obstinate minds of darkness.

The spirit of Jezebel and the spirit of sorcery have swung their swords of fear and death in your face but to no benefit. I have kept you when those you depended upon failed because of their extreme weaknesses. When you were tempted to turn around and go back in the day of battle against subtle and crafty spirits, grace overwhelmed you and hid you in closets of prayer. Though you had no strength of your own and my righteousness seemed cut off from your presence, my mercy and goodness fought for you and delivered you from the filthy rags of your own righteousness. Cast into a dungeon of self-confidence having taken me for granted, the lord of the dungeon prepared to conquer you, yet my unfailing love came and rescued you again. Rejoice and be thankful. I rule over the lord of every dungeon. My love has satisfied my justice, and my mercy and grace have brought forth mighty deliverance by the right hand of my power. Rejoice. The victory wrought for you has surpassed the victories of the past. Now be assured that you are more than a conqueror through me. The enemy came in like a flood. As a storm, he beat against your faith. My standard of power was lifted against his flood, and my strategies have totally disarmed this mysterious evil warrior. The pulse of his power has ceased and his hand is subdued under my hand. Rejoice. I have given you a great victory during a mysterious time.

Discouragement, Erroneous Conclusions, Subtle and Crafty Spirits, Mysterious Strategies, and Warriors of Strange Languages

By Aaron Stickel

"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."

Jesus will never abandon me. He is with me always, even unto the end of the age. Those who come to earthly leaders may be cast out after they have labored. God will in no wise cast out those who come to him. I will worship the Lord as the scriptures have spoken of him, and living waters shall flow out of me. Though the warfare is oftentimes very mysterious, I will not be discouraged or afraid. Though I do not speak the language of war, the gift in me will suffice and become all that I need among these warriors of strange languages and mysterious strategies. My survival is not dependent upon man. My survival is totally dependent upon God. The arm of flesh will grow weary and fail me. The mind of flesh shall waver and draw erroneous conclusions. Jesus has given me the mind of Christ. The perception of his mind does not err. It is flawless and infinite. I break my dependence on the arm and mind of flesh, and I will be joined again unto total trust in God. Miracles are ready to flow unto me from the revealed arm of the Lord. He has revealed the arm of the Lord unto me. His right hand is not hidden from me. God has sent it forth, and now shall these giant mysterious things be subdued in my presence.

The Lord did not send me out into the darkness without a light. He is the light that I need. He is the inside light shining everywhere I travel. This light is spirit.

The spirit of Jezebel and the spirit of sorcery have swung their swords of fear and death in my face but to no benefit. God, my Father, has kept me when those I depended upon failed because of their extreme weaknesses. When I was tempted to turn around and go back in the day of battle against subtle and crafty spirits, grace overwhelmed me and hid me in closets of prayer. Though I had no strength of my own and God’s righteousness seemed cut off from my presence, his mercy and goodness fought for me and delivered me from the filthy rags of my own righteousness. I was cast into a dungeon of self-confidence having taken the Lord for granted. The lord of the dungeon prepared to conquer me, yet God’s unfailing love came and rescued me again. I rejoice and I am thankful. God rules over the lord of every dungeon. His love has satisfied his justice, and his mercy and grace have brought forth mighty deliverance by the right hand of his power. I rejoice.

The pulse of the enemy’s power has ceased, and his hand is subdued under God’s hand. I rejoice. Jesus has given me a great victory during a mysterious time.

RE: RHEMA - Rescued by God's Unfailing Love, Overwhelmed by Grace, and Hidden in the Closets of Prayer When Attacked by Warriors of Strange Languages and Mysterious Strategies

No weapon that is formed against us will prosper. Here, the word “prosper” means that it will not be able to accomplish its purpose. Weapon in this verse means any instrument or formation, and that includes words or statements that would cause us to cease or stop. We will not cease to praise or continue to proclaim the word of the Lord. Lies have always been the weapon of choice of the enemy. Satan will question grace, love, and all their promises. He will do his best to dilute and pollute our thinking about the definitions that have been clearly declared in our mind and spirit. Satan's devices can be anything that has to do with what is perceived by the mind. Every voice and thought of doubt and confusion will try to establish a hold in our thinking. Our weapons are not based in the carnal and logic realm. We have been transported into the realm of the heavenlies, and our weapons are mighty through God to the destruction of established positions of thinking and reason. God is so great that when we focus on him we are so captivated with him that there is no room for any other in our thinking. God's greatness is so magnified and multiplied in our prayer and worship relationship that anything that would cast any false image in our imagination will be destroyed. Job 37:2-5 tells us that God speaks in mighty tones of thunder and does excellent and awesome things that we cannot comprehend. Many times it is a mystery what we need to do. However, the Spirit that speaks in us and through us speaks mysteries. In other words, what we do not understand or do not know how to do, the Holy Ghost will speak it into existence. In the thunder of his voice, David said that he would scatter the kings and powers of this earth. His voice will create the deliverance of grace and hold us in the arms of grace while the voice of the Almighty casts out all impostors.

By Moses Hightower

I am leading you to the place of victory already won. Run to the one who has already placed all things under his feet. Run to the light that has already separated itself from all darkness. Run to the head of all principalities and powers that has already caused all these enemies and their armies to bow. Run to me, and I will give you rest from the wars fought by those who are corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. I offer you life today and a life free of the pains suffered by David and Bathsheba. Their lives were for your admonition. Now come and live in heavenly places unaffected by the lust and pride of earthly kings and queens. Here in my presence, the joy of submission to my lordship is an expression full of joy and triumphant rule with me in this life and in the life to come. I have invited you into the courts of peace. Give me your hand as you walk around this array of defeated warriors. Look at them from this position, and see that they do not know where you are, for here, you are hidden in me. Come. Let us go on. There are souls to be won.

RE: RHEMA - The Light of Polished Faith for Conspiring Elements of the Night Love is the energizer of faith

God's love is certain, infinite, and unfailing. Our thought processes are geared for the finite and limited. God's thoughts and ways are heavenly and far from the middle of earthly gravity centers that pull down our faith. Our thoughts are too close to our problems. Every difficulty is the design of deity to display his dominion over every situation and assure us of victory. He fashions the final products of faith in our lives by the experiences of every day living. Since faith comes by the hearing of the word of God, we are in the vortex of the sound of many voices. We should recognize only one and tune the others out. We should develop selective hearing as an art form. When armies of darkness and their threats come in as a sweeping flood, the Lord will release his gates of promise with an ocean of overwhelming fulfillment. Our command is to command a blessing on everyone around us. Our profession of faith is not based on the circumstances or the potential available. God has been in the business of making everything out of nothing longer than man has existed. The script of the drama of faith has been written, and God will not change the plot to fit our desire. His purpose in calling us is the priority that drives the events of our lives. As Haman was hanged on the same gallows that he designed for someone else, the devil will be destroyed by his own devices. Our destiny has been detailed and declared as the church. Hell has no power to decree anything but a lie. Truth will set us free from fear and intimidation if we will hear his voice. We have been called to rise above the conditions the flesh and the world try to hold us captive with. As the children, we are free and in the original language, this means exempt. How? We are not subject to the laws of this system, but we are living by the higher laws of faith and love that can never be altered.

Open your mouth and declare my goodness.

346. If my goodness were cut off from the people, then how would they find repentance?

The enemy has observed you and looked for reasons to discount your testimony. Clothe yourself with the garment of righteousness and the garment of praise. I have revealed truth unto you and hidden my secrets from the wise and prudent. I have delivered deep things unto you and revealed myself unto you. Come and receive of the rest that I am giving. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me, for I am meek and lowly in heart. I have laid up rest for your souls. My yoke is easy and my burden is light.

347. Why sit at the gate of peace and stare at the frustrating performances of the hour?

I thank you, O Lord, that you will never abandon me. You are with me always, even unto the end of the age. Those who come to earthly leaders may be cast out after they have labored, but you will in no wise cast out those who come to you. I will worship you, as the scriptures have spoken of you, and living waters shall flow out of me. Though the warfare is oftentimes very mysterious, by grace I will not be discouraged or afraid. Though I do not speak the language of war, the gift in me will suffice and become all that I need among these warriors of strange languages and mysterious strategies. It is comforting to know that my survival is not dependent upon man but totally dependent upon you. The arm of flesh will grow weary and fail me. The mind of flesh shall waver and draw erroneous conclusions. I thank you that you have given me the mind of Christ. The perception of your mind does not err. It is flawless and infinite. By your grace, I break my dependence on the arm and mind of flesh, and I am joined again unto total trust in you. Miracles are ready to flow unto me from the revealed arm of the Lord. I thank you that you have revealed the arm of the Lord unto me. Your right hand is not hidden from me. You have sent it forth, and now shall these giant mysterious things be subdued in my presence.

I am grateful that you did not send me out into the darkness without a light. You are the light that I need. You are the inside light shining everywhere I travel. This light is spirit. It supplies me with wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of who you are, the only Lord God. I am thankful that I am growing in grace and in the knowledge of you. I will become more aware of my growth in you during this mysterious trial. This trial has been as a foreign language without an interpreter. I have walked in uncertain paths where evil has observed me through perverse eyes. I have been interrogated by obstinate minds of darkness.

The spirit of Jezebel and the spirit of sorcery have swung their swords of fear and death in my face but to no benefit. You are my Father, and you have kept me when those I depended upon failed because of their extreme weaknesses. When I was tempted to turn around and go back in the day of battle against subtle and crafty spirits, your grace overwhelmed me and hid me in closets of prayer. Though I had no strength of my own and your righteousness seemed cut off from my presence, your mercy and goodness fought for me and delivered me from the filthy rags of my own righteousness. I was cast into a dungeon of self-confidence having taken you for granted. The lord of the dungeon prepared to conquer me, yet your unfailing love came and rescued me again. I rejoice and I am thankful, for you rule over the lord of every dungeon. Your love has satisfied your justice, and your mercy and grace has brought forth mighty deliverance by the right hand of your power. I rejoice. The victory wrought for me has surpassed the victories of the past. Now I am assured that I am more than a conqueror through you.
The enemy came in like a flood. As a storm, he beat against my faith. Your standard of power was lifted against his flood and your strategies have totally disarmed this mysterious evil warrior. The pulse of his power has ceased and his hand is subdued under your hand. I rejoice because you have given me a great victory during a mysterious time.

RE: PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING - March 5, 2007

Hebrew thought has a consensus about words. They feel that every word is a compact and concentrated unit of energy. They also believe when it is spoken that the compacted and concentrated energy is released. When God speaks his word through us and to us, a spectrum of revelation and light is released in our lives and the world around us. God is such an abundant God that there is always an overflow effect in all that he does. Words of question and castigation may whirl around us, but God's words are so powerful that they can swallow them up like an exploding supernova. God's word can turn the black holes of our lives into baby universes of grace and supply. God will never be superseded by anything our enemy may try to do or imply. Armies of darkness and hosts of seductive voices may mount their attacks around us, but they shall not come nigh to those who dwell in the shadow of the Most High. Just as God took Israel across the Red Sea by the illumination of the pillar of fire and confused the armies of the Egyptians with the same, he will bring us to a land of promise that has more mysteries revealed and unfolded than we can begin to gather up.
