Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

Go and proclaim the need of friendship born of the Sun of righteousness and growing with the love of the Christ. Proclaim a love that is willing to strip self of its robe that it might be given to his brother. Many have garments, possessions, and many things. You will remain heavy in the journey until you have stripped yourself of your gain and shared it with your brother. You have not been defeated in your past battles. Others have strengthened you when you were weak. Behold the multitudes that come against the weak. Cry out for help, and strengthen your brothers and sisters. I have called you friend. I am the God of heaven that rules all the kingdoms of the earth. In my hand, is power and might, and no one is able to withstand me. Though your friends are weak, my covenant is strong. Offer praise unto me. Come. Let us go, and drive out the evil that has sought to destroy those who are weak in friendship.

(RHEMA: Love Strips Self of Its Robe of Self-centeredness)

I will go and proclaim the need of friendship born of the Sun of righteousness and grow with the love of the Christ. I proclaim a love that is willing to strip self of its robe that it might be given to his brother. Many have garments, possessions, and many things. I will remain heavy in the journey until I have stripped myself of my gain and shared it with my brother. I have not been defeated in my past battles. Others have strengthened me when I was weak. I behold the multitudes that come against the weak. I cry out for help and strengthen my brothers and sisters. The Lord has called me friend. He is the God of heaven that rules all the kingdoms of the earth. In his hand, is power and might, and no one is able to withstand him. Though my friends are weak, his covenant is strong. I offer praise unto him. I come to the Lord, and I go with him to drive out the evil that has sought to destroy those who are weak in friendship.

The Everlasting Light of the Lord's Feet Upon the Head of An Evil Traitor

You have hope, and it will not make you ashamed. The hope of glory resides inside of you. I am greater in you than the one in the world. Fear not the treacherous spirits in your path. They are not in this dimension. You are walking in the light of my word, and now the light of my feet shines upon the head of the enemy. Walk in the light of my word, and you will not be halted by the evil schemes of the hour.

Rest in me. I am your security. Rest. I have made you whole. Cease wrestling with your flesh. Simply mortify the deeds of your body. The flesh is as a wild stallion seeking your attention by its rage. Do not give in to it. It is as a hurricane; however, it is losing power each day. I have designed its defeat. Now go forth, and worship me. Through praise, you will overcome this warrior of Adamic influence. I have given you the shoes of the gospel. Now run with the victory of my cross as your foundation.

My blood has been shed, and the price for redemption has been granted. Release your body to me, and the temple of God shall be free from its carnal influences. I have come that you might have life. The life that I have brought you is an everlasting light. Be fully persuaded of my goodness, and the leash of its preparation shall lead you again. I have brought you goodness. I placed it in your path. Seek continually this goodness, and you will find joy unspeakable. This joy is full of my glory. This joy is endowed with power from on high. Place your trust in me again. You are leaning on your own arms of flesh. Lean on me, and experience the joy of the Lord again. You can of yourself do nothing. I am the God who aids with the small things also. You know me as the miracle worker and the great, glorious victor in difficult times, but do you really know me as the God who is concerned about the small things in your life?

I have brought revival in your midst. Enter into this new relationship that I am offering you. It is full of glory and power. Enter into the gates of praise, and there will you find me waiting to inhabit their expressions.

RE: RHEMA - The Everlasting Light of the Lord's Feet Upon the Head of An Evil Traitor

Jesus Christ is the light of the glory of the everlasting God. The revelation of his deity and Godhead firmly places the illumination of revelation in our lives. No place is any clearer than in the authority of his name in the waters of baptism. Baptism looks back to the laver of brass in the tabernacle where every priest had to wash that he would not die. Description of the laver is always "the laver and its foot." When we are washed in the waters of baptism, God really puts his foot down on the enemy in our lives. His influence and power is crushed by the promised blow to his head by the Savior's foot. Light becomes the final blow to the darkness of the lies of sin in our lives. Storms of flesh from within and without may arise, but we have the peace speaker on the ship. His power will still the storm of fear and lies that whirl around us. Gates of praise are open into the dimensions of light beyond the reach of every evil contention.

CARNAL INFLUENCES, THE FLESH, AND TREACHEROUS SPIRITS

I have hope, and it will not make me ashamed. The hope of glory resides inside of me. He is greater in me than the one in the world. I will not fear the treacherous spirits in my path. They are not in this dimension. I am walking in the light of God's word, and now the light of his feet shines upon the head of the enemy. I purpose to walk in the light of God's word, and I will not be halted by the evil schemes of the hour. I rest in Jesus. He is my security. I rest. He has made me whole. I determine to cease wrestling with my flesh. I will simply mortify the deeds of my body. The flesh is as a wild stallion seeking my attention by its rage. I will not give in to it. It is as a hurricane; however, it is losing power each day. God has designed its defeat. Now I will go forth and worship him. Through praise, I will overcome this warrior of Adamic influence. God has given me the shoes of the gospel. Now I conclude to run with the victory of my cross as my foundation.

The Lord's blood has been shed, and the price for redemption has been granted. I release my body to him, and the temple of God shall be free from its carnal influences. Jesus has come that I might have life. The life that he has brought me is an everlasting light. I am fully persuaded of his goodness, and the leash of its preparation shall lead me again. He has brought me goodness. He placed it in my path. I will seek continually this goodness, and I will find joy unspeakable. This joy is full of God's glory. This joy is endowed with power from on high. I place my trust in God again. I am leaning on my own arms of flesh. I elect to lean on Jesus and experience the joy of the Lord again. I can of myself do nothing. Jesus is the God who aids with the small things also. I have known him as the miracle worker and the great, glorious victor in difficult times, but now I have come to know him as the God who is concerned about the small things in my life. He has brought revival in my midst. I enter into this new relationship that he is offering me. It is full of glory and power. I enter into the gates of praise, and there will I find Jesus waiting to inhabit my expressions.

INSPIRATION

RE: RHEMA - Grace Is a Dependable Anchor; Therefore, Do Not Fear the Wind of Condemnation and the Effects from the Rage of Sin

Legalism, condemnation, works, law, and the fear complex all have their roots in religious pride. Each wants to be seen and noticed to the extent that others pay attention to what they did instead of what his grace accomplished in our lives. They negate the glory that goes to God and take it to themselves. Their idol worship will cause a swift downfall. Only those who are founded and anchored to grace will stand all the force of fear's fantasy and emotional short winded space. Emotion does not last or establish. Our faith and sustaining power is his grace. His blood has purchased beyond the cheap trinkets of works, a holy and excellent relationship for those who are consumed with the choice of loving the one who so graciously embraces us in failure and in success. His words to us sweep along on the sea of life beyond the ability of the tides of modernism and fashion to alter our course. Political winds of religious origin may raise a stormy caldron, but the one who walked on the water without any support but himself is our sure and steadfast line of security and the pilot of our ship.

(Continued)

You cannot work effectively in the harvest field if you spend each day warring with enemies you do not need to fight. Swing no longer at the elusive distractions that have sought to engage you in shadow boxing and shadow wrestling. Cast down the many imaginations that have been shot into your mind by the bow and darts of the host in distraction's army. Behold the host that marches through your midst in the Spirit. The angelic host of God has been here all along to fight on your behalf. Now leave the battle to the host of angels, and I shall show you a victory that you have never dreamed of. I am fighting against the foes from hell and from the darkness.

211. Can you see the enemy?

I have sent a blow to the head of the enemy of the church. The door of love has opened to those I am drawing. Lift up your voice, and proclaim the love of God and the forgiveness of sins. I paid the most expensive price known for your sins to be forgiven. Now it is time that the world knows the preciousness of what I have bought for them. Redemption has purchased a great salvation. Many do not know the value of this great salvation that they possess.

212. Do you know that angels desire to look into this relationship that I bought for you?

Silver and gold has no value comparable to the value of a right relationship with me.

213. What silver and what gold will you give in exchange for what I have freely given you?

214. What possessions will you relinquish for your soul?

215. What will you receive from the darkness in exchange for me?
