Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

I have given you a tree of life. Eat the fruit of this tree, and you will have spiritual nourishment. The strength derived from this tree is necessary in your walk. Follow not the spiritual invalids of the age. They are not able to focus on the priority of life. Being without strength, they are no longer focused on me as their first love. They have become invalids in spiritual convalescent homes. You cannot eat from the devil's table and my table. No man can serve two masters. You will love one and hate the other. Some say that they love me with their mouths and stretch forth their hands and rob me in tithes and offerings. Righteousness is far from them, for they are thieves. The unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God. Be not deceived, neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. They have chosen to walk after the flesh and journey to the pit of corruption. Corruption shall not inherit incorruption.

God has given me a tree of life. I eat the fruit of this tree, and I will have spiritual nourishment. The strength derived from this tree is necessary in my walk. I do not follow the spiritual invalids of the age. They are not able to focus on the priority of life. Being without strength, they are no longer focused on God as their first love. They have become invalids in spiritual convalescent homes. I cannot eat from the devil's table and the Lord's Table. No man can serve two masters. I will love one and hate the other. Some say that they love the Lord with their mouths and stretch forth their hands and rob him in tithes and offerings. Righteousness is far from them, for they are thieves. The unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God. I am not deceived, neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners shall inherit the kingdom of God. They have chosen to walk after the flesh and journey to the pit of corruption. Corruption shall not inherit incorruption.

We Are Saved from the Wrath of God by Jesus, Our Ark

Life is resident in you. You were dead in trespasses and sins. Because of redemption, your trespasses and sins are forgiven and not remembered against you any longer. You are now blessed and counted righteous. Now the effectual, fervent prayers that you pray, avail much. I have summoned you for communion and fellowship. No man can come into my presence unless I draw him. You have found grace today. Noah found grace in my sight and was saved from the flood of his day. The flood of your day shall not find you, for the ark of salvation has lifted you above the flood of darkness. The down pouring rain could not take the ark under, neither did the down pouring wrath of God take under the Son of God. I was baptized with the wrath of God and came out victorious. You will now come out victorious because you are in me. Not one of those who were in the ark drowned. They were saved from drowning; therefore, are you saved from the wrath of God because you have been baptized into me.

You are the apple of my eye. You are my eyeball. The eyeball is very sensitive and easily hurt. I realize how sensitive you are. I created you this way. You are easily injured and very valuable to me. My enemies have attacked the apple of my eye in an attempt to hurt me because they know how vulnerable you are. Weep at the low state you have accepted. You are the apple of my eye. Now cry until you have come to a place of perfect obedience and true worship unto me. Your enemies shall know how precious my body is unto me. I will protect you from the wrath of your enemies. Those who touch you have placed their hand in my eye. I have covered your sins. My blood has blotted out your transgressions; therefore, awake unto godliness, and bend your ear to hear my voice. You have been indifferent and have not realized the greatness of salvation. Awaken unto the reality of your God in you again. Return to activity, and be earnest about the work of God again. Shall you sleep on the battlefield?

Awaken from your slumber, and prepare yourself and souls for my coming. My people are becoming like the people of the world who are around them that and are dead in trespasses and sins. They are unresponsive to me. They are becoming indifferent just like the ungodly. Go and awaken them from their slumber, and tell them to put on love and strength.

RE: RHEMA - We Are Saved from the Wrath of God by Jesus, Our Ark

Wrath had begun to send its destructive floods of violence into our lives. We would not have any craft that was able to withstand the violent storm that would have surely taken us to the depths of the abyss of this life and into the oblivion of eternity beyond. Out of the cloudy heaviness sailed the ark of his grace. It was pitched on the inside and outside with the blood of the precious lamb. Arc of the covenant and ship of the flood was more than enough to takes us beyond the wilderness of the destruction of sin. His blessing has wrapped us in the protection of forgiveness that is beyond our understanding to truly appreciate. Many times our focus in the trivial things of our lives prevents us from seeing the greatness of the grace that sweeps us above the vortex of the winds of negative gravity. As the ark rode above the flood, so do we ride above the waves that would bring us crashing upon the rocks of the shore of man's judgment. God has sent forth judgment unto victory at the cross. He took the blow of death that was intended for us and gave us the embrace of the arms of grace instead.

RHEMA

A Fresh Word

I was praying and this came to me.

My eternal power brings to you words that the waves cannot whisper and the thunder cannot shout. Mighty waves of the sea sit in tranquil silence at the voice of their creator. Listen, you instruments of praise, and hear the mystery of the end times. So many voices have said "no" to what I have said "yes" to again and again. Only those listening for my expressions of greatness will have these treasures whispered in their ears. Every structure and association that wraps itself around the things that will be dissolved, will melt in the destruction that is inherent in itself. All those who have attached themselves to the arrows of my light and the shock waves of my thundering voice will ride in the chariots of war with me. These have lifted their voices, and the winds of the critical and cynical have tried to howl them into silence. Those who have tried to silence them will be held up for rebuke because their own failures that they tried to cover up will shout louder than any trustworthiness they would try to set forth in themselves. The thunder of my power will cause them to stand in muted silence in awe of my displayed power. They will fall into the streets as the casualties of the waves of promises fulfilled come riding down the streets in the chariot thrones of my salvation. My salvation will ride upon the wings of grace to the ends of the earth and sweep away the lies and derogatory statements.

Feel the wind of my greatness now as it descends into the deepest pits of failure and reveals the treasures I had hidden there. Statues of the efforts of men will crumble into dust before the shock waves of my Words of power. I say to all you that think you have it figured out, "Who is holy and who is righteous. Think again." You have no righteousness except I give it to you. If you cannot accept the words of righteousness that would be uttered into your lives, then you will have nothing at all unless I preserve you with righteous words of my prophets that you have banished to the wilderness of rejection.

All those who set themselves as learned, shall appear as fools. All those who think they know, will be left with their own empty thoughts because they cannot grasp one event of my power. All those who have tried to extinguish the influence of the inspiration of prophecy, will be destroyed by the flames of inspiration they have tried to put out. All those who have said, "God did not say it," their words shall be burned across the face of their own shame as they look for a word of help but will not find it because they have seared their own sensitivity to that which would be the way of deliverance out of their own despair.

(Continued)

The powerful manifestation of my strength and vigor of love was displayed on Calvary's tree. It is one thing to have the ability to lay down one's life and another thing to actually lay it down. I expressed a greater love toward fallen man when I actually laid down my life for him. I am the supreme authority in heaven and earth. My power has always been the same, but at Calvary, I magnified it. The magnification of my love is only seen through the act of love that I displayed. You may now, without doubt, express a dependent attitude toward me because of the love that I expressed. The gospel is the power of God to everyone that believes. There is no major power in the earth more powerful than preaching the gospel.

276. What power can turn a sinful man into a righteous man?

I am the true God, the Living God, and an everlasting King. At my wrath, the whole earth shall tremble. I made the earth by my power and established the world by my wisdom. I stretched out the heaven by my discretion. Men who ruled earthly kingdoms shall know the Most High rules in the kingdom of men and that I give these kingdoms to whosoever I will. I shall bring men low to show them that I rule in the kingdoms of men. They shall become as nothing as I show them that I do according to my will in the army of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth.

277. None can stay my hand or say to me, "What doest thou?"

You need a good report given to you by a faithful witness. I have given you the best witness as the foundation of your belief. I have sent the testimony of Jesus Christ, the Faithful Witness, to bear record of the truth of my promises to you. Through this persuasion, you may now comprehend, with all your being, the truth of the report sent. This is a spoken persuasion that is full of life and power. It penetrates the darkness of unbelief and brings down the walls of doubt. There is creative power in my spoken words. In the beginning, the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep. The Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters and I said, "Let there be light, and there was light."

278. Is it a wonder that the Rhema sent on your behalf separates the light of my promises from the darkness of unbelief?

I have come to save that which was lost.

279. Do you have another purpose for being sent into the world?

There are many sick people in the world.

280. Who will go and be a physician unto them?
