Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

I have never left you alone. I am with you unto the end of the age. I have eternal life dwelling within, and a place is prepared for you. I am preparing to receive my bride unto myself. She shall be with me forever. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump, for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and she shall be changed. Immortality awaits her as a beautiful garment. Incorruptibility anticipates a time to be her adornment. In victory, death will be swallowed up. Death's sting made her his slave. Blinded by the venom of death, she was held as a slave in the chambers of sin. She shall be changed, and her cry of victory shall sound. She shall say, "Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is your sting? O grave, where is your victory?"

Continue in Christ, for I am giving you the victory through the Lord, Jesus Christ. I am faithful; therefore, be steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

The Lord has never left me alone. He is with me unto the end of the age. He has eternal life dwelling within me, and a place is prepared for me. He is preparing to receive his bride unto himself.

O death, where is your sting? O grave, where is your victory?"

I will continue in Christ, for he is giving me the victory through the Lord, Jesus Christ. God is faithful; therefore, I will be steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as I know that my labor is not in vain in the Lord.

A Line of Love Drawn In the Sands of Time

I am come that you might have life. I have overcome all things that were against you. I have brought unto you this day a refreshing that shall change you forever. This refreshing shall be more than a shower. It shall be a washing of regeneration and a renewing of the Holy Ghost in you. I have come that you might have life and that more abundantly. Be not removed from the expression of the resurrection. There has come a spirit to separate the Church from the expression of the resurrection. Men will come and attempt to direct your attention unto the things that are about me, but I have come to direct your attention to me. I am the living Savior who brought power unto you and placed that power within you. You have received the Holy Ghost and power has come upon you.

Be not afraid, for I have extended the arm of trust unto you, even in your valley of defeat, I have brought comfort unto you. Even in your valley of defeat, I have brought comfort unto you. In your valley of failure, I have brought comfort unto you. In your valley of despair, I have brought comfort unto you. In your valley of sin, I have produced a repentant heart and extended grace that will comfort you. Be not filled with doubt today and look upon the past failures, but look unto the power of the resurrection. I have brought unto you a life that is not yielding to the threatening things from the spirit of condemnation.

Come unto these arms of grace, and be filled with faith and trust. Now abides faith, hope, and love. Reach out to all three, but know that love is greater and will not fail, neither can anything separate you from it. I have drawn my own line in the sands of time and no one will erase the line that I have drawn. It is the line of love that I have drawn in these sands. All of the floods of adversity cannot wash away the line of love that I have drawn. With the rays of light, I permanently fixed the line of love in the sand of time. Come to this line, and align yourself with me and those who have chosen to stand on my side of the line.

Satan drew many lines in the sand of time. Some retreat at each line; lines which begin with the smallest sin unto the greatest and most abominable; lines which merit little punishment and great punishment. I ventured into the dimension of Satan's lines in the sand and willingly allowed separation from the Father. I was abandoned by the Father because of my own choosing as he did willingly bruise me, but as I entered behind the lines of Satan's lies, I proved that I am love, and nothing can separate me from you. You were behind the lines drawn in the sand. On the other side of life did you reside in prison, and behind bars stronger than iron and stronger than steel. In the pits deeper than the holes in the earth, did you reside, but from glory did I come, and into the world, was I manifested, not for me, but for you, did I come. I entered the dimension of death where holiness need not come, but of necessity, I did walk to lead out those whom I would make my own.

Come unto the cross, and be drawn upward. Come back in time with me, and see the lifting up of love, then will you understand that because I was lifted up, all men are drawn to me. It was my love that was manifested on the tree that drew men unto me. They followed my miracles, and they followed my teaching. They left when there were no more miracles. They left after my teachings became hard, but all who look upon the manifestation of my love upon the tree are drawn to me to stay. Look with understanding, and behold with the understanding of the spirit, then shall you abide in my kingdom and reside on high with me. Come. There is work to do. Come, and I will show you an expression that you have not experienced. Come.

RE: RHEMA - A Line of Love Drawn In the Sands of Time

His Word is line upon line. Lines of power that are vibrating strings of power attach themselves in a connectivity that involves every particle of energy and matter in the universe. We are not able to understand the greatness of the sum total of all the components of creation. Lines of horizons of destruction and creativity are clearly delineated in the universe. If an entity of an object crosses certain barriers of limitations they are crushed or flung into the oblivion of nothingness. Love draws lines of blessings and cursing in our lives. Choices of mind and spirit are in a whirl every day that we live. Time and space are merged in the real world that encompasses the entire universe. Every component of our existence will eventually meet the lines of power of life and death. David spoke to us in the Psalms that the lines had fallen to him in pleasant places. Lines that are drawn by love mark the borders of safety or danger in our lives. God never intended for us to be harmed or destroyed. If we choose to walk across the lines of demarcation that love has drawn we do so at our own peril. Every good and perfect gift is ours within the boundaries that love has drawn for our inheritance. Satan's lines that seem to be bold challenges are just traps to ensnare us.

ADVERSITY, DEFEAT, AND FAILURE

Jesus has come that I might have life. He has overcome all things that were against me. He has brought unto me this day a refreshing that shall change me forever. This refreshing shall be more than a shower. It shall be a washing of regeneration and a renewing of the Holy Ghost in me. He has come that I might have life and that more abundantly. I am not removed from the expression of the resurrection. There has come a spirit to separate the Church from the expression of the resurrection. Men will come and attempt to direct my attention unto the things that are about him, but he has come to direct my attention to him. He is the living Savior who brought power unto me and placed that power within me. I have received the Holy Ghost and power has come upon me. I am not afraid, for he has extended the arm of trust unto me. Even in my valley of defeat, he has brought comfort unto me. In my valley of failure, he has brought comfort unto me. In my valley of despair, he has brought comfort unto me. In my valley of sin, he has produced a repentant heart and extended grace that will comfort me.

I am not filled with doubt today, and I look not upon the past failures, but I look unto the power of the resurrection.

INSPIRATION

By Don Grigsby

RE: RHEMA - The Everlasting Light Arising Upon Us

I was waiting for the bus to carry me to a service and this came to me in the Spirit.

I will pull back the veil over the lives of those that you behold in the captivity of sin. All you can see with your natural eye are shadowy figures laboring under their own deception. I pull back the curtains now to show you men standing with hands reaching out for something that is not a fraud. I want to remove the veil from your eyes to see the greatness in me that you have never seen then I can be seen in you by the light of greatness they have never seen, and they will run to me. Their hands have only held failure. Invite them to hold eternal greatness that will flow to them by the revelation that is in you.

(Continued)

Believe not the limits being expressed by demons. They do not set the boundaries for my plans, neither can they discontinue the fruit of my love unto you. They have no strategy to bar the passage of grace unto you. There is no gate that can block my grace from entering into your life. They have no power to deny grace an access unto you. They cannot suspend the grace of God, for I am the author of this eternal salvation and the finisher of the love that prompted me to grant it.

240. Who will separate you from my love?

241. What will separate you from my love?

242. If death and the grave could not hold me, who is it that can hold you?

I have overcome all these things by the resurrection. By faith, you are inside of the resurrected Christ who has died, been buried, and resurrected from the dead. By obedience to the gospel of Christ, you are alive forevermore, and the keys of the kingdom are in your mouth. Arise and use the keys of victory. They have been freely given to you to use for my glory and your benefit. Arise and enjoy the victory purchased by the offering of myself for you.

243. If I did not spare my own Son but delivered him up for all, how shall I withhold all things from you?

244. Do not accept the condemnation of the enemy, for who is he that will condemn you?

It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for you. Look at the love expressed for you as I laid down my life for you.

245. Who shall separate you from that kind of love?
