Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

I am exposing this enemy and leading you around the pitfalls in your path. The enemy may lie in ambush and conceal himself behind the veil of the unknown, but I am your refuge, a sanctuary of peace. I am not your last resort. I am your only resort in the war against principalities and powers. These spirits are rulers of the darkness of this world. Make your home in my grace as you enter through the door of humility. My grace is sufficient for you. A diversion has been created. You are not a fugitive; therefore, do not allow suggestions in the spirit realm to lure you into the enemy's loophole. I do not need a loophole. I am God, and I am the light. Walk in the light, and look not for a diversion through the unknown. My sheep know and hear my voice. Hear the voice of confidence in God, and be not sealed inside of trouble through the doors of ignorance. Allow ignorance to be simple backgrounds that you ignore. Leave these backgrounds to me. I understand them. You see through a glass darkly. There is no film over my eyes. Remember, I know all things.

(RHEMA: Fugitives from Love Turned Unto Great Joy)

God is exposing this enemy and leading me around the pitfalls in my path. The enemy may lie in ambush and conceal himself behind the veil of the unknown, but the Lord is my refuge, a sanctuary of peace. He is not my last resort. He is my only resort in the war against principalities and powers. These spirits are rulers of the darkness of this world. I make my home in his grace as I enter through the door of humility. His grace is sufficient for me. A diversion has been created. I am not a fugitive; therefore, I do not allow suggestions in the spirit realm to lure me into the enemy's loophole. God does not need a loophole. He is God, and he is the light. I walk in the light, and I do not look for a diversion through the unknown. The Lord's sheep know and hear his voice. I hear the voice of confidence in God, and I am not sealed inside of trouble through the doors of ignorance. I allow ignorance to be simple backgrounds that I ignore. I leave these backgrounds to the Lord. He understands them. I see through a glass darkly. There is no film over God's eyes. He knows all things.

The Language of Love Is Without Hypocrisy, and Counterfeit Love Is Revealed by Double Standards

I am the way, the truth, and the life. If you walk in me, the truth and life shall be yours. You are made free, and life more abundantly has abounded to you. I have given you my spirit and shed my love abroad in your heart. The way to love is manifested in your heart. Follow after my love, and your faith will be worked by the love of God and not after the way of man. My love is exempt from decay and corruption. It is pure and filled with integrity and honesty. The wholeness of my love is entire and not lacking in any area. My love is not adulterated, for it is genuine. Hear the language of my love today, and know that it is understood in every speech. The language of my love brings a new confidence to those who have lost assurance because of the darkness of trouble in the world. My expression will lead the way in the restoration of broken relationships. I have called you friend. Now you go, and make friends.

Many speak a foreign language, a language not comprehended by others. Their verbal communication is not understood, for their actions are confusing. The language of love is without hypocrisy. I have sent you into the world to be a model of my love, not a model of power. The model of love is not a paradigm of one receiving but of one giving. I loved the world and gave my only begotten son. How can the world know you are of me, if you don't give your best?

Your love is corrupt if you present the world with a prototype of selfish love. My love is the first of its kind. The world does not know the love of God outside of the love of Jesus Christ. If any man has not the spirit of Christ, he is not mine. I have put my spirit in you so that you may show the world true love. Hide me no longer behind your veil of insincerity. Your double standards are a stench in my eyes and nostrils. This disgusting odor is a shame to anyone called by the name of Jesus. Will you be two-faced and represent me?

There is a high price to be paid for buying into hypocrisy. It tastes good to the flesh, but it is costly in the end. I hate double standards. Will you masquerade this form of love in my presence and survive the law of sowing and reaping?

Can you say that you are honest while living a double standard?

I have not sent deceivers into the world, and I will not tolerate insincerity. Insincerity is artificial and plastic. The world will never be reached by those bearing double standards, for I will not dwell among them. Open your mouth, cry aloud, and make known the truth of my love and have no part with this dishonesty. I told Abram to walk before me and be perfect. I have also said unto my church, "Be perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect." You will continue to manifest powerless ministries that are filled with many words and no Godly signs if you persist in double standards. Do you minister for the applause of men or do you minister to please me?

Am I pleased with your ministry today?

RE: RHEMA - The Language of Love Is Without Hypocrisy, and Counterfeit Love Is Revealed by Double Standards

We cannot speak love and harbor hate. Our love is not a song that we carry in worship and then burn in the fires of anger. Our adversaries and opposition will stand and test our resolve to allow the Lord to fight our battles. Love will stand the test of time and experience. We cannot wear the garments of sacrifice and dress later in the cloak of condemners. Love will cover the multitude of faults and failures and not turn around and expose the failings of others. Love speaks a language of reconciliation and never that of condemnation. God never said to humanity, "Oh ye my sinners, but Oh ye my children." Hypocrites may eat the gossip of the crowd but it will turn to gravel in their mouth. We were not created to be instruments of destruction but instruments of mercy. God looked at all the sacrificing of the Pharisees and then saw their hypocrisy in cutting down others Jesus answer to all this was, "Go and lean what this meaneth. I would have mercy and not sacrifice." It is easy to live some personal standard or standard of the church in the area of the weekly services. It is another thing to refuse what you seem to have every right to do to get even with others.

HYPOCRISY AND COUNTERFEIT LOVE

Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. If I walk in him, the truth and life shall be mine. I am made free, and life more abundantly has abounded to me. He has given me his spirit and shed his love abroad in my heart. The way to love is manifested in my heart. I choose to follow after God's love, and my faith will be worked by the love of God and not after the way of man. His love is exempt from decay and corruption. It is pure and filled with integrity and honesty. The wholeness of his love is entire and not lacking in any area. God's love is not adulterated, for it is genuine. I hear the language of his love today, and I know that it is understood in every speech. The language of his love brings a new confidence to those who have lost assurance because of the darkness of trouble in the world.

RHEMA

By Don Grigsby

RE: RHEMA: The Light of Revelation Exposing Spirit-Made Pits

Yesterday I was in prayer, and the Lord brought this to me.

All your concerns are for naught. Satan will even make you think the angel's shadows you see over you are the buzzards of prey. He would get you concerned with a dozen different things so I would not be able to give the treasure that is yours daily. With all your energy spent chasing the phantoms of fear, you would be too weary to pursue the greatness that is reserved for you in my presence.

(Continued)

I came into this world not to be ministered unto but to minister and to give my life a ransom for the sins of the world. I so loved the world that I gave myself for it so that all who believes on me should not perish but have everlasting life. No one took my life from me, but I willingly laid it down for the sheep. You must know my voice so that you can go forth and bring the other sheep, which are not of this fold unto me. I have many people out there that shall hear my voice. Go and declare unto them my great love. There is no greater love than for a man to lay down his life for his friends. I came as the man Christ Jesus and purchased you with my own blood. While men were yet sinners, I died for them. I commended my love toward them.

266. Now that I have justified you by my blood, will I not save you from wrath?

I have given you persuasive faith and irreversible promises. Allow this persuasive faith to abound in you, and it shall seize the promises that I have made to you. Faith always moves forward with abounding ability and reasons to believe my promises. Faith is speaking. It will convince you to believe. You have seen faith on trial many times. Invest in the faith of Jesus Christ, and you will never be a loser, neither will you be a spiritual pauper in this age where faith can hardly be found.

267. When I return, will I find faith on the earth?

Invest in faith. Allow love to manage your life, and you will have a management that does not have to be persuaded of the truth of my word. My word has gone out of my mouth, and it will not return unto me void.

268. What advantage do you have in doubting my promises?

I have redeemed your life from destruction. I have washed you in my own blood from all of your sins. Lift up your eyes from the dungeon prepared for you, for that is not the path chosen for you. Though you have done wrong, you found mercy and forgiveness in my sight. I saw the vengeance and all the imaginations that were against you. I heard their reproach and all the imaginations that were against you also. The lips of those that rose up against you shall not sing the music of joyful songs. I shall turn their planned joy unto sorrow, and their sitting down shall be a hell for them, for I shall render unto them recompense according to the works of their hands and the voice of their evil hearts. Lift up your eyes unto me, the Holy One of Israel and of the Church.

269. To whom will you like me unto?

270. Who is equal unto me?
