Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

There is war in the earth and great war in the heavens. Take up the weapons of your warfare during this onslaught against the mind. Spirits have assaulted the people in their dreams with sensual darts of lust. Many beget lust in their dreams and do not pray through this subtle conception when they awaken. The people must learn to think on the right things while they are awake. They must keep their hearts at all times. My people must give me all their hearts and let their eyes observe my ways. Set no wicked thing before your eyes. Seek to find wisdom and get understanding. Sow wisdom as a tree while you are awake. While you sleep, wisdom shall bring you the riches of peaceful sleep and her ways of pleasantness. Your sleep shall become a beautiful garden to walk through in safety. It shall become a place to lie down and not be afraid. It shall become a place where your thoughts and your ways are sweet and undefiled. Sow wisdom and discretion. By wisdom, I founded the earth, and by understanding, the heavens were established. Keep these things before your eyes and your ears, and they shall be life throughout your sleep.

(RHEMA: Peaceful Dreams Are Sown While We Are Awake)

There is war in the earth and great war in the heavens. I take up the weapons of my warfare during this onslaught against the mind. Spirits have assaulted the people in their dreams with sensual darts of lust. Many beget lust in their dreams and do not pray through this subtle conception when they awaken. The people must learn to think on the right things while they are awake. They must keep their hearts at all times. God's people must give him all their heart and let their eyes observe his ways. By grace, I will set no wicked thing before my eyes. I seek to find wisdom and get understanding. I sow wisdom as a tree while I am awake. While I sleep, wisdom shall bring me the riches of peaceful sleep and her ways of pleasantness. My sleep shall become a beautiful garden to walk through in safety. It shall become a place to lie down and not be afraid. It shall become a place where my thoughts and my ways are sweet and undefiled. I sow wisdom and discretion. By wisdom, the Lord founded the earth, and by understanding, the heavens were established. I will keep these things before my eyes and my ears, and they shall be life throughout my sleep.

The Mighty Light of Love Against the Dark Clouds of Uncertainty

Why wait at the gate of uncertainty?

I have not led you to this gate. This place is not your place of abode. I have directed you in a plain path, the path of righteousness for my name's sake. Though you walk through uncertain territories, fear not. I am with you. My rod and my staff are for your comfort. The things that seem to be against you are not forces that can overcome you. You are more than a conqueror through me. Stand fast in my liberty, and be glad in your salvation. I have saved you from defeat and made you a mighty victor. I have placed the traits of victory in you. The traits that I have placed in you are expressing themselves as I would express them. Do not allow these superficial attacks to affect your identity or alter your vision. I have given you all things that pertain unto life and godliness. I am in you to do the work required of you.

You can do nothing of yourself, but through me, you can do all things. I have given you the finger of God. Now devils shall be cast out because the kingdom of God has come unto you. The kingdom of God is not in word only but in power also. Righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost are yours. All the identity that I have given you is speaking in your life. The evil investigators of condemnation and guilt will not detect your fingerprints and footprints. Nature teaches you that my word is true. Birds use many things as they migrate. It is built within them to know these things. Have I left you without direction and knowledge of my love?

You are in the world but not of the world. Your home is not here. You are simply a sojourner on your way to the place that I have prepared for you. I have given you a map and a spiritual compass to use that you may arrive at the right place. I have given you an intimate knowledge of your spiritual environment. You can navigate precisely in the dark trials of your life and not be detoured from the plain path to heaven. The Holy Spirit in you knows where it is going though you have never been where you are going. I have more than a programmed direction in you. I am in you as your director.

Derive your information and knowledge from the godly, and the cloudy days of the end times will not keep you from losing sight of your goal. The homing pigeon, a bird, can be carried a hundred miles in a covered box and immediately orients itself and heads accurately for home. Though the enemy attempts to cover you with doubt and fear, know of a truth, that the spiritual orientation within you is sufficient to bring you clear and accurate directions to your new spiritual home. Allow not these dark times to discourage you. The colors of these things depend chiefly on the dark things' relationship to me, the Light. Though these dark things cover you completely and their depth creates the blackest night, remember that I am the Light that cannot be diluted by these things. My strength is shining in the face of the dark things; therefore, the wavelengths of love will not be blocked by the darkness, but the wavelengths of love shall shine through and manifest the glory of victory. Be encouraged in me. I have not forgotten you in the face of uncertainty and dark questions from your enemy. I have reflected the dark things in your face back to the pit where they came from. Now rejoice in the face of all these uncertainties.

RE: RHEMA -The Mighty Light of Love Against the Dark Clouds of Uncertainty

We do not abide in the shadows of the hallways of shadows and fear. Every room of our dwelling is filled with the furniture of grace and the decor of peace. Hope has placed us under the roof of faith's enduring promises. Clouds of doubt and uncertainty may try to fill the windows of our life with questions. Answers in the hands of love's eternal messengers ring our doorbell with greetings of power. Light will never be overwhelmed by the darkness. Our energy of faith and love flows to us in a main circuit that cannot be disconnected. Our light is the understanding of the liberty of the spiritual words of invitation and not rejection. Failure is not the house of the faithful. Our entire being is filled with the assuring words of love's never ending embrace. Our world and the fleshly nature will wax cold, but the love of God will increase in intensity and volume. We cannot measure its rivers or oceans, but its revelation will cancel out the clouds and shadows of the evening time.

CONDEMNATION, DISCOURAGEMENT, GUILT, AND UNCERTAINTY

I elect not to wait at the gate of uncertainty, for God has not led me to this gate. This place is not my place of abode. He has directed me in a plain path, the path of righteousness for his name's sake. Though I walk through uncertain territories, I will not fear. God is with me. His rod and his staff are for my comfort. The things that seem to be against me are not forces that can overcome me. I am more than a conqueror through God. I stand fast in God's liberty, and I will be glad in my salvation. God has saved me from defeat and made me a mighty victor. He has placed the traits of victory in me. The traits that he has placed in me are expressing themselves as God would express them.

I purpose not to allow these superficial attacks to affect my identity or alter my vision. God has given me all things that pertain unto life and godliness. He is in me to do the work required of me. I can do nothing of myself, but through God, I can do all things. He has given me the finger of God. Now devils shall be cast out because the kingdom of God has come unto me.

Now I rejoice in the face of all these uncertainties.

INSPIRATION

By Don Grigsby

RE: RHEMA - The Voice of the Evening Time Guarantees the Birth of Miracles

The Rhema that came to Mary was certain that nothing was impossible with God. As God created in the beginning with his voice, so is he doing in the last days.

I was praying for a service and the Spirit of the Lord came to me and said,

Light and sound will demonstrate a demonstration of my power in a magnitude never before seen in the earth. Revelation will remove the walls of obstruction and tradition. My utterance sends forth hosts of heavenly hosts to defeat the foes that have been assembled against my church. What will be uttered in the ears of my faithful servants, will become more powerful than any technology man has ever considered. My words will not only sweep aside oceans of resistance, but they will absorb the deep seas of hurt and pain that have tried to drown multitudes. All the words you have uttered that have not seemed to bring forth will bring forth fruit overnight as the rod did before my oracle. Prayers that have seemed to be stored in forgotten files will be the front page story of heaven's declaration. All of this I will do for my great name's sake. All the lies and skepticism that have been cast into your face will be swept away like dust before the wind. Do not fret of the loud voices of those who declare that miracles are few and far between. Soon, even they will be amazed at the multitude of the miracles that will multiply throughout the land.

(Continued)

These unusual things have no ending in this life. They will grow until the end of time. They are all the same to me. Trust me to take each of these designs and unfamiliar patterns and make beautiful and profound testimonies out of them. Though you do not understand the why of these things, rest in the fact that I am faithful. You continue to ask why.

222. How many times must I repeat these lessons?

Do not think it strange that I have allowed walls of impossibility to come before you. Stand at the wall of impossibility, and see the salvation of the Lord. The wall of impossibility shall be as water parted by my right hand of power. The wall of impossibility shall cover your foes and your enemies. They shall fall beneath the parted wall that I shall bring down upon them. Fear not their many voices and the forces of their power. None of these things shall prevail against you. The right hand of my power is against them, and they shall perish. Look to me, the finisher of your faith. I am faithful and will not suffer you to be moved. The enemy has been stifled again. I have triumphed for you again. I am your God, and you are my children.

223. Who is like me?

224. Who is mighty as I am?
