Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

You are being secretly pursued. Suspicion is rampant on every side. A sea of darkness is your pathway. Walk on in faith. It is your enemies that shall drown in this sea of darkness. My light shall trouble them and bring great peace from the secret place of thunder. Weak, sinful vessels have accused you. Their sins shall be their snares and their chains. The subtlety of their efforts shall be used to bind them with fear from out of the unknown. Those who have secretly arisen in the dark shall be opposed by the fear in their dark chambers of secret plots. All shall know that the God of Israel is fighting for you. Behold the pathway of faith through the walls of darkness on the left and on the right. Come. Walk hurriedly in faith and holiness. You shall not drown. I have held back the walls of these dark waters. Those who seek to drown you shall drown. Pray for them, and save yourself from their demise.

(RHEMA: Suspicion Fostered by Our Enemies Is Opposed by the Peace from the Secret Place of God's Thunder)

I am being secretly pursued. Suspicion is rampant on every side. A sea of darkness is my pathway. I will walk on in faith. It is my enemies that shall drown in this sea of darkness. God's light shall trouble them and bring great peace from the secret place of thunder. Weak, sinful vessels have accused me. Their sins shall be their snares and their chains. The subtlety of their efforts shall be used to bind them with fear from out of the unknown. Those who have secretly arisen in the dark shall be opposed by the fear in their dark chambers of secret plots. All shall know that the God of Israel is fighting for me. I behold the pathway of faith through the walls of darkness on the left and on the right. I will come and walk hurriedly in faith and holiness. I shall not drown. God has held back the walls of these dark waters. Those who seek to drown me shall drown. I will pray for them and save myself from their demise.

Search With Spiritual Tools and Spiritual Knowledge, Not the Tools of the Carnal

I, the Living Light, furnish the light of this day. I am your way and your life. The way of the transgressor is hard, but those who come and learn of me will have a new light burden and an easy yoke. I walked the earth in a human body and was meek and lowly. The path of meekness and lowliness is a path of rest for your soul. Search not for the high things, neither high places of this life. Seek humility, and you will find honor, riches, and life. Dishonor, poverty, and death are the unwanted treasure of the proud and lofty. Go not in the path of those who desire to be rich. They do not search with spiritual tools and spiritual knowledge. They search out of the wantonness of their hearts. I have not called you to go in the paths of those whose rewards are sealed in the tombs of shame and destruction. I have called and chosen you to go in the paths of the righteous. Now for my name's sake, forsake everything that is not like me, and walk in the paths of righteousness daily. Seek me with all your heart continually, and be blessed with the blessings of Abraham. Walk before me, and be perfect. Continue your search for wisdom and understanding that you might judge the angels. The choices of men are foolish, but the choices of the mind of Christ are always wise and full of godly pleasure. Lift up your eyes to me, and be blessed. I am your way-maker. Now press onward toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

RE: RHEMA - Search With Spiritual Tools and Spiritual Knowledge, Not the Tools of the Carnal

Our spiritual weapons are not from any carnal armory therefore our tools and instruments are not received from any natural supply. God turns weakness into power. Fear melts into rivers of fervent praise. Weakness is revived by the winds of refreshing from the presence of the Lord into a warrior. Wisdom is only seeing its finished work. God chooses the weak and foolish things to confound the wise in their own eyes. Nothing's stand as the never ending wonder of the everything that God can pour into them. Our dreams are the landing paths for heaven's invasion of the barren fields of the earth. God can take wind and harvest every apple in the orchard. He only has to tilt the ground of a good heart in the right direction to be the biggest barn that ever held a harvest. Wonders are the hammers and saws of the spirit. Unbreakable wood is the heart that the nails of grace can be driven by the power of conviction to affix them to the base of the cross till the love of his blood can soak into every porous opening. God's ways are foolishness to so many but they are the fabulous surprises of his treasure to those who talk to him.

LOFTINESS AND PRIDE

Jesus, the Living Light, furnishes the light of this day. He is my way and my life. The way of the transgressor is hard, but those who come and learn of him will have a new light burden and an easy yoke. He walked the earth in a human body and was meek and lowly. The path of meekness and lowliness is a path of rest for my soul. I search not for the high things, neither the high places of this life. I seek humility, and I will find honor, riches, and life. Dishonor, poverty, and death are the unwanted treasure of the proud and lofty. I do not go in the path of those who desire to be rich. They do not search with spiritual tools and spiritual knowledge. They search out of the wantonness of their hearts. He has not called me to go in the paths of those whose rewards are sealed in the tombs of shame and destruction. He has called and chosen me to go in the paths of the righteous. Now for his name's sake, I forsake everything that is not like him, and I walk in the paths of righteousness daily.

I lift up my eyes to God, and I am blessed. He is my way-maker. Now I press onward toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

INSPIRATION

RE: Rhema - Make Your Decision Concerning Life and Death At the Throne of Grace Today

Grace has been given the highest dominion of all the working of God. It is truly the spiritual chariot throne of deliverance that all the prophets saw riding in the heavens. Even David saw a glimpse of it in the 68th Psalm. Grace takes any situation and issue of life and frames it in the proper perspective. If our attitudes in life are always directed from the throne of grace, then even the most negative situation will not rule over us, but we will reign in life through the judgments of his throne of grace. If Israel had harkened to his voice, they would have remained in the land forever, and God would have subdued all their enemies before them, and they would not have remained to be thorns in their side. Gospel truth, couched in the terms of grace, leads us to the only righteousness that can be imputed to our account. Grace is the paradox in salvation and death. Death is turned inside out by obedience to the burial in baptism and its infilling of the Spirit of Grace. Mercy and grace are the open doors into deliverance from rebellion into the freedom of the law of the spirit of life. Its chambers cause the chambers of pleasure to look like trash compared to the treasures of his blessing we find there.

(Continued)

Sing unto me. Make a joyful noise to the rock of your salvation. Come before my presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto me with new songs. I am a great God and a great King above all gods. I am your God, and you are the people of my pasture, the sheep of my hand. Hear my voice, and trust in me with all your heart. I made the heaven and the earth by my great power and stretched out arm. There is nothing too hard for me. The wind of disappointment blew against you. I have caused it to cease. Your faith became very small today, but my faithfulness stretched forth and made up the difference.

191. Wherefore did you doubt?

Look inside of yourself, and behold the grace that is working in you. Now unto me who is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that you ask or think according to the power that works in you. I am God, and I will come and change your vile body that it may be fashioned like unto my glorious body, according to the working where by I am able even to subdue all things unto myself. You can walk on the waters of circumstances, for you can do all things through Christ, who strengthens you. You will not perish on the waters. I have given you precious promises.

192. How can you perish, if the promises that I have made to you have not come to pass?

No one will prevent me from doing whatsoever pleases me. I made the heaven and the earth by my great power and stretched out arm. There is nothing too hard for me. I am the God of all flesh.

193. Is there any thing too hard for me?

Commit all things unto me, and be fully persuaded that I am able to keep that which you have committed unto me against that day. The Holy Ghost in you will keep the good things, which were committed unto you to keep. Lean not to your own understanding, but lean on the Spirit within you. If you are leaning on the Spirit then rise up and make a declaration of Spiritual empowerment, wherefore I will not be ashamed to be called your God. I will not disappoint the confidence that you have placed in me. I will satisfy the hope and the expectations of your faith. You have been appointed to an office in the ministry.

194. Who can remove you from the office that I have appointed you unto?
