Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

Iniquity is abounding as a storm blanketing the earth. The people of the earth will lose their ability to love because of this cold storm. The love of many is waxing colder than ever before. I have brought you grace to endure unto the end. Grace brought you to the kingdom, and grace shall keep you in the kingdom. Man cannot remove you from my kingdom. I bought you with my blood and my sufferings. I did not bring you this far to lose you because of man's concept of my word. You are being persecuted because of the word. Be not offended, for I have told you this would happen. This is for my name's sake; therefore, gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

(RHEMA: The Icy Deluge of the Last Days Will Not Effect the Broadcasting of Love)

Iniquity is abounding as a storm blanketing the earth. The people of the earth will lose their ability to love because of this cold storm. The love of many is waxing colder than ever before. God has brought me grace to endure unto the end. Grace brought me to the kingdom, and grace shall keep me in the kingdom. Man cannot remove me from the Lord's kingdom. He bought me with the blood of Christ and his sufferings. He did not bring me this far to lose me because of man's concept of God's word. I am being persecuted because of the word. I will not be offended, for the Lord has told me this would happen. This is for his name's sake; therefore, I gird up the loins of my mind. I am sober, and I hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto me at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Moses Hightower

God Is Faithful (Part 2)

I am shortening the days so that the elect may be saved. Grace is given so that you may endure to the end so that you may be saved. Do not despise the chastening of the Lord, for I chasten every son that I receive. My love is constraining you. It has constrained you in the past. The constraints that I have placed on you have sometimes been misunderstood. You would have gone the way of all flesh if these love constraints had not been placed on you. Rejoice when you are restricted by me. It is the work of my love in your life. You are not missing anything worthwhile in this life. As a father pities his children, so have I pitied you. I have saved you from destruction many times by the limitations that I have imposed on you.

I desire you to be found faithful in the end. An enemy has sought to steal your faithfulness; therefore, be not faithless in this hour of great deception. A good and faithful servant is what I am seeking. Enoch walked with me and was not, for I took him. He had this testimony, that he pleased me. I desire to say concerning you, "This is my son in whom I am well pleased." How can I say that if you are not constrained but left to yourself to walk after the flesh?

There are many spirits and many voices seeking to spoil your allegiance to me. These spirits are treacherous. They promote disloyalty and disharmony. I am promoting true fidelity in this hour. Do you really love me with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength?

The actions promoted by wicked spirits are very delusive. The motive of these spirits is to persuade you not to please me. Pleasing me should be at the center of your desire. Be faithful unto death, and I will give you a crown of life. Not even death should persuade you to be unfaithful. I am faithful and true. I will faithfully execute the benefits of my covenant in your life. A blessing is promised. I will not retract it. Only believe. I am not a liar. I am obligated to be faithful to you. I have an allegiance that must be expressed toward you. If I died in the flesh to save you, what else will I do?

The expression of the resurrection is the easy part. Love caused me to die for you. Now love will cause the resurrection to work on your behalf. I am the way, the truth, and the life. My truth will insure that my power will work for you today and forevermore. The performance of my promises and covenant is with all faithfulness. My love is constant. It never changes. My interest in you coincides with my duty toward you. It is my duty and my obligation to look after you. Some men are counted loyal. Am I less in loyalty than a man?

I am faithful, and I will keep my part of the promises. Only believe.

RE: RHEMA - God Is Faithful (Part 2)

We have not been stripped down for this hour but equipped for this hour. We have been loaded with his blessings and assurances in a time of almost vacuum of hope in every day life. We are walking through these desolate times with the voice of the Creator and Consummator in our ears. We are dancing in the light of the evening time of prophetic light that has transformed our thinking in the very shadows cast by the nay sayers. Some may fail and go by the wayside, but we will run on with the faithfulness of the first born and run from the dead in our hearts. Our faith may be stretched and under attack, but the blistering barrages of the enemy will be swallowed up by the greater demonstration of the power of the faithfulness of his manifest word. Voices and spirits may come to pull us down, but he will lift us above the destruction that is not hidden from his eyes. Yesterday in the prison service, there was a message that was given to me that I wrote down and read to the entire conference. I have come to loose the weapons of my armory. I asked for Moses' mouth when I called him, and he said, "I cannot speak." Later on when I asked him to speak to the rock, he said, "YOU REBELS, MUST WE FETCH YOU WATER OUT OF THIS ROCK?" (Nobody but God could do it. Never we! When we speak in obedience to the Spirit, that is when the waters of the miraculous flow.) He missed the miracle of water out of the impossible place. He could have had the water of wonder flowing in the experience of all the people. You will speak my words. The weapons you never thought existed will perform the work that you have said that you are not able to do.

DOUBT

The Lord is shortening the days so that the elect may be saved. Grace is given so that I may endure to the end so that I may be saved. I do not despise the chastening of the Lord, for he chastens every son that he receives. His love is constraining me. It has constrained me in the past. The constraints that he has placed on me have sometimes been misunderstood. I would have gone the way of all flesh if these love constraints had not been placed on me. I rejoice when God restricts me. It is the work of his love in my life. I am not missing anything worthwhile in this life. As a father pities his children, so has the Lord pitied me. He has saved me from destruction many times by the limitations that he has imposed on me. He desires me to be found faithful in the end. An enemy has sought to steal my faithfulness; therefore, I will not be faithless in this hour of great deception. A good and faithful servant is what God is seeking. Enoch walked with him and was not, for he took him. He had this testimony, that he pleased God. He desires to say concerning me, "This is my son in whom I am well pleased." He can not say that if I am not constrained but left to myself to walk after the flesh.

There are many spirits and many voices seeking to spoil my allegiance to God. These spirits are treacherous. They promote disloyalty and disharmony. The Lord is promoting true fidelity in this hour. I am striving toward really loving God with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength. The actions promoted by wicked spirits are very delusive. The motive of these spirits is to persuade me not to please him. Pleasing God should be at the center of my desire. If I will be faithful unto death, then he will give me a crown of life. Not even death should persuade me to be unfaithful. The Lord is faithful and true. He will faithfully execute the benefits of his covenant in my life. A blessing is promised. He will not retract it. He is not a liar. He is obligated to be faithful to me. He has an allegiance that must be expressed toward me. If he died in the flesh to save me, there is nothing that he will not do for me.

The expression of the resurrection is the easy part. Love caused him to die for me. Now love will cause the resurrection to work on my behalf. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. His truth will insure that his power will work for me today and forevermore. The performance of his promises and covenant is with all faithfulness. His love is constant. It never changes. His interest in me coincides with his duty toward me. It is his duty and his obligation to look after me. Some men are counted loyal. He is not less in loyalty than man. He is faithful, and he will keep his part of the promises. I believe.

INSPIRATION

RE: RHEMA: Arrested by Grace and Given a Restoration of a Desire For Much Prayer

Mention the word prayer and the carnal man wants to run away. Our spiritual man longs for and desires to breathe the atmosphere of prayer. Sometimes in his grace, God allows what seems to be very negative events to move us toward a time of prayer that reaches simply for relief but then grace opens the door into treasures of his power and blessings that we have never experienced before. Our relationship with him in prayer empowers us with the grace that abounds to every good work and makes us zealous for every good work. Dungeons of darkness await those who eat at the tables of fleshly indulgence. Chambers of revelation and glorious vision open for those who will desire to see beyond the normal. Feasting tables of the miraculous are prepared for those who will allow grace to usher them into the presence that overwhelms every difficulty.

(Continued)

You have collided with unbelief. This is no accident. Unbelief intends to run you off the highway of holiness and into the ditch where the blind are falling. Allow me to anoint your eyes with eye salve that you may see during this time when many are reckless because they walk not by faith. You must learn to be confronted by unbelief and not lose your focus. Unbelief never ceases its war against you. Unbelief is in the darkness, and you are in the light.

291. What fellowship has light with darkness?

Your faith will be contradicted. Do not allow disloyalty to your faith to surface, for disloyalty is also of the darkness. I have revealed myself unto you. Now walk in the steps of Jesus Christ, and walk on the water of my word, and you will not sink. Now abides faith, hope, and charity.

292. Which is the greatest?

I am the Hope of Glory and Love.

293. If I am LOVE AND HOPE, then where is your faith?

I have come looking for faith. I gave it to you.

294. Now where is it?

My grace is sufficient and upon you. With great power, go and give witness of the resurrection. As you go, continue in the grace of God, and speak boldly in my name, and I will confirm the word of my grace with signs and wonders by your hands. I am going to continue confirming souls; therefore, continue in the faith. You must, through much tribulation, enter into the kingdom of God.

295. Do you have to be recommended to the grace of God over and over to go forth to do the work that I have given you to do?
