Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

I hear the voice of my people. Some are in very deep valleys and in great distress. Open your ears unto the voices of those in desperate need. Faint is the sound of many of their voices. Just above a whisper, some cry out. With very little clarity, many speak but are not understood. Where are the friends that should stick close to these?

Let not your response be according to their faithfulness. Many times their unfaithfulness is rooted in their weakness because they do not have a friend. Be not hasty in judging the actions of the people, for many times their actions are the expressions of weak, friendless people who have lost hope in the faith. Raise the hope of the people with the love of a friend. My word is in you, and by your words, strength will be restored to those weak in the faith. The language of the weak is not an unknown tongue. Those who call themselves friends do not hear their speech, for the love of many is waxing cold. Warm by the fire of my word in you. Allow the fire of praise to shoot forth inside of you. Speak in psalms and hymns that bring these fiery praises unto the hearts of the weak. The friendship in the body must grow beyond being associates in the faith. Many are only companions in a common cause. This is friendship, but should your friendship remain so small?

Should your friendship remain so distant when love and trust should be growing?

(RHEMA: The Fire of Praise Shooting Forth Arrows of Friendship)

God has heard the voice of his people. Some are in very deep valleys and in great distress. I will open my ears unto the voices of those in desperate need. Faint is the sound of many of their voices. Just above a whisper, some cry out. With very little clarity, many speak but are not understood. The friends that should stick close to these are asleep. I purpose not to let my response be according to their faithfulness. Many times their unfaithfulness is rooted in their weakness because they do not have a friend. I will not be hasty in judging the actions of the people, for many times their actions are the expressions of weak, friendless people who have lost hope in the faith. I will go and raise the hope of the people with the love of a friend. God's word is in me, and by my words, strength will be restored to those weak in the faith. The language of the weak is not an unknown tongue. Those who call themselves friends do not hear their speech, for the love of many is waxing cold. I warm by the fire of the Lord's word in me. I allow the fire of praise to shoot forth inside of me. I determine to speak in psalms and hymns that bring these fiery praises unto the hearts of the weak. The friendship in the body must grow beyond being associates in the faith. Many are only companions in a common cause. This is friendship, but I purpose to not allow my friendship to remain so small. Love and trust are growing in me; therefore, my friendship will not remain distant.

The Realm of Impossibility Is Visualized by Faith and Confidence In God and His Word

I am your helper. I have come to carry you beyond human limitations. Although the visible world is present, a blind person does not see it. You are blind to the possibilities before you because to you, they are impossible. With men, many things are impossible, but with me, all things are possible. The things that I shall achieve for you shall astound you, for they come not by sight or feelings but by faith. Look up, and behold the wonders that I am going to do. The realm of impossibility is darkness to you. You have stumbled around in this darkness too long. Allow me to be your eyes and your light and then you will not stumble over the things you cannot see or understand. Stagger no longer at my promises. I am able to do all things. Give me your hand, and rest in the fact that I see in this realm. Have total confidence in me, and lean not to your own understanding.

I have come to introduce you to a realm that has always been. Do not be confused as you explore the realm of impossibility. I am not the author of confusion. Be not confused any longer because you do not see how these things may be accomplished. Simply trust that I can do all things. Rest in that fact. With me, all things are possible. I am the miracle worker. Do not trust in your human ability or human reasoning. You will merely stagger at my promises. I quicken the dead and call those things, which be not, as though they were. Be not weak in faith, and consider not your own ability or the things that others can do. Have faith in my promises and me. Unbelief will stalk you each time impossibility faces you. Simply do not stagger at my promises through unbelief, but be strong in faith while you give glory to me. Be fully persuaded that what I have promised, I am able to perform. Is anything too hard for me?

I made the heaven and earth by my great power and stretched out arm. Nothing is too hard for me. With men, things are impossible, but with me, all things are possible. With me, nothing is impossible. I am able to do all things. I am able to make all grace abound toward you so that you will have sufficiency in all things and may abound toward every good work. Only believe.

You will not do what I ask you to do in the future unless you pass these tests with impossibilities. Trust in my promises and me and then will you offer up your most precious possession at my word. I am perfect love. I cast out your fears in the presence of impossibility. There is no restraint on me. I can save by many or by few. Be fully persuaded that what I have promised, I am able to perform.

RE: RHEMA - The Realm of Impossibility Is Visualized by Faith and Confidence In God and His Word

Everything in the world we perceive with our physical senses has limitations inherent in them. Every entity in the invisible is in the hands of fearless hearts filled with faith. Our thoughts will try to hold a debate with our convinced hearts that the miraculous is not possible. We have been convinced beyond the shadow of a doubt that we have been immersed into God's "yes." "No" does not enter into the picture in this debate that has already been decided before the beginning of time.

Last night in the service the Lord spoke and said,

All of you who are looking at a desolate situation with dismay need to hear the divine declaration of deliverance that I have already made on your behalf. Inside the folds of the dark curtain is a brilliant canvass that is hidden from view. I will unfold the darkness and reveal the canvass of power that I will stretch across the empty frame of your life then you will understand that the space you are looking at is not empty but full of everything you need but cannot see. I have already seen you rejoicing with more than you can hold in your hands.

We are persuaded that his promises will prevail.

HUMAN REASONING, IMPOSSIBILITY, AND UNBELIEF

God is my helper. He has come to carry me beyond human limitations. Although the visible world is present, a blind person does not see it. I am blind to the possibilities before me because to me, they are impossible. With men, many things are impossible, but with God, all things are possible. The things that he shall achieve for me shall astound me, for they come not by sight or feelings but by faith. I look up, and I behold the wonders that God is going to do. The realm of impossibility is darkness to me. I have stumbled around in this darkness too long. I now allow him to be my eyes and my light and then I will not stumble over the things I cannot see or understand.

I purpose not to stagger any longer at God's promises. He is able to do all things. I give him my hand and rest in the fact that he sees in this realm. I have total confidence in God and lean not to my own understanding. He has come to introduce me to a realm that has always been. Now I will not be confused as I explore the realm of impossibility. The Lord is not the author of confusion. I will not be confused any longer because I do not see how these things may be accomplished. I simply trust that God can do all things. I rest in that fact. With him, all things are possible. He is the miracle worker. I do not trust in my human ability or human reasoning. I will merely stagger at his promises.

Jesus quickens the dead and calls those things, which be not, as though they were. I will not be weak in faith, and I will not consider my own ability or the things that others can do. I have faith in God and his promises. Unbelief will stalk me each time impossibility faces me. I simply will not stagger at his promises through unbelief, but I will be strong in faith while I give glory to God. I am fully persuaded that what he has promised, he is able to perform. Nothing is too hard for the Lord. He made the heaven and earth by his great power and stretched out arm. Nothing is too hard for him. With men, things are impossible, but with God, all things are possible. With him, nothing is impossible. He is able to do all things. He is able to make all grace abound toward me so that I will have sufficiency in all things and may abound toward every good work. I believe.

I will not do what God asks me to do in the future unless I pass these tests with impossibilities. I trust in him and his promises and then will I offer up my most precious possession at his word. He is perfect love. He casts out my fears in the presence of impossibility. There is no restraint on him. Jesus can save by many or by few. I am fully persuaded that what he has promised, he is able to perform.

RHEMA

RE: RHEMA - Authoritative Grace Labors Effectually and Prevents Sin from Ruling Over Us While Aborting the Menace of Failure

The Lord gave me this word on failure and dealing with it.

Receive a fresh revelation of my power and grace. In the difficulty, I will bring forth victory. Out of the deepest pit, will walk Dynamic Deity. Out of the awful situation, will be revealed my awesomeness. Out of your lowest points, I will cause you to ascend to my highest points of blessing. Be as Job who saw creation's graphic beauty sweep the night sky of his pain with the canvass of spoken power. Be as Ezekiel who saw the vaulted ceilings of captivity retracted to see the open door of heaven where the universe poured out glittering and shimmering jewels of a billion points of power.

Behold John as he lifted his face from the sandy granite hardness of isolation to see the One who took him and the church with one hand and with the other hand, opened the door of time and carried them into and eternity where no harsh hands would ever inflict suffering on his body again. Look as Moses when he lifted his eyes above the limp tents of the groaning, complaining masses to see me mobilize days of creation like troops on parade to march down into the formless void of the beginning of time. See David as he grabbed angels and stars as he danced in his dreams across fields of battle that others had never fought on before. Isaiah saw the heavens filled with the measureless greatness of my ability to mete out the heavens with the span of my hand and stretch out everything out of the closet of nothing.

Daniel wept for home but soon beheld the Builder of the houses of eternity push down kingdoms and build temples and kingdoms that only kings could dream of. In the lion's den, he saw his Creator cradle lions like kittens and feed them with the milk of silence. When David looked so painfully into the mirror of his own disappointments, he saw the face of Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow fill a glory cloud with the presence that picked him up like a shepherd would a lamb and anointed his pain with oil and his empty cup ran over with the blessing that had seemed to run and hide from him.

(Continued)

The things that are there are not excluded because of your lack of knowledge. The wonders that are there would be left undiscovered unless someone had ventured there. Behold the wonders of the invisible world. The invisible world is real. Behold it. It is not viewed by natural eyesight. Unless I open your spiritual eyes, you cannot see into it. Be not afraid. These dimensions are darkness to those whose eyes have not been opened to see into them. These dimensions are secret places. I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places that you may know that I, Jesus, who has called you by name, am the God of Israel and the God of the entire earth. I am a spirit.

201. How will you truly worship me in spirit and in truth, if you do not believe that you, being spirit, can see into the spirit world?

The heavens declare my glory, and the firmament shows my handiwork. Day unto day utters speech, and night unto night shows knowledge. There is no speech nor language where the voices of day and night are not heard. Their line is gone out through the earth and their words to the end of the world. Behold the glory declared by the heavens. Conservationists battle to protect wild life in nature and are the keepers of the wild.

202. How much more am I going to fight to protect you from the predators of the hour?

203. If conservationists, who did not create wild life, care for the animals, how much more will I have compassion on those I created?

Taste and see that I am good. You have tried the things from the table of devils and found out that a bad taste was left in your mouth. Taste no longer the things offered from that table, for it is always damnable. Tasting me is a wonderful experience.

204. How can you taste me without tasting my words?

Do not be filled with lack of trust. Distrust is a big enemy. Distrust is void of conviction and certainty. Incertitude is at the heart of distrust. You cannot make the right choices by using distrust as a compass. There is no assurance or confidence in distrust. Go from the presence of men that you cannot trust. Liars all have the same father, and a leopard cannot change his spots. A liar gives ear to a naughty tongue.

205. Why listen to it?
