Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

Words and schemes are afflicting you. Some words are meant to kill you and your ministry. Hatred is spewing, and offenses are rampant. Many are being offended, and many are betraying one another. Many hate one another. The sorrows of the age announce the approaching of the skyline of heaven and of hell. Do not be offended in me because you are reproached for the Rhema of God. You are blessed; therefore, be not a reed shaken by this cold wind. Warm by the sword of the Spirit. Its fire will light your path. Its flame shall keep your heart from the frostbite of the age. Its light shall be your refuge. Put up your sword to defend yourself. If you live by it, you will perish by it. I brought you to this place to live and give life. Will you halt here to bite with others? Cease defending yourself and the truth of the spirit of prophecy that is within you. It will speak and stand for itself. Go preach the living word. It will not fail. Abraham believed in my voice. Now you believe in it, and the righteousness imputed shall make your prayers effectual. I am your defense. I am your counselor. Accept my counsel unto you today. You are not alone. Only believe.

(RHEMA: The Fire of the Living Word Shall Keep Your Heart from the Frostbite of the Age)

Words and schemes are afflicting me. Some words are meant to kill me and my ministry. Hatred is spewing, and offenses are rampant. Many are being offended, and many are betraying one another. Many hate one another. The sorrows of the age announce the approaching of the skyline of heaven and of hell. I make up my mind not to be offended in God because I am reproached for the Rhema of God. I am blessed; therefore, I will not be a reed shaken by this cold wind. I warm by the sword of the Spirit. Its fire will light my path. Its flame shall keep my heart from the frostbite of the age. Its light shall be my refuge. I put up my sword to defend myself. If I live by it, I will perish by it. God brought me to this place to live and give life. I determine not to halt here to bite with others. I cease defending myself and the truth of the spirit of prophecy that is within me. It will speak and stand for itself. I will go preach the living word. It will not fail. Abraham believed in the voice of God. Now I believe in it, and the righteousness imputed unto me shall make my prayers effectual. The Lord is my defense. He is my counselor. I accept his counsel unto me. I am not alone. I believe.

The Inexhaustible Supply of God Has Supplied All Things For Now and In the Future

You are the prisoner of love. Abide here in peace. Do you desire to be the prisoner of hate?

Many are the prisoner of hate, and they think that they are having a good time. Look at the end of those things, and your feet will not slip. The wicked prosper at first, but their end is bitter. Do not confuse the bad things that happen to you as brutal things, but look upon these things as part of the big plan where the end is joyous and successful. I have not begun this good work in you only to end in a bad work. Have faith in my word, and know that I have not intended these things that are happening as bad. The devil means them for bad, but I mean them for good. How will you differentiate the truly good from the truly bad unless I teach you of my way?

You are on a journey. The uncomfortable path is a path that you must lead others down. You must be a first partaker of the fruit so that you may become skilled in leading others down this path. Learn to rejoice in the uncomfortable times and then will you lead others in joy and not in grief. I am not slack concerning my promises. I have provided everything that you need for the journey. I have an obligation to provide for you, and I will give you all things that are necessary for this life and in the call of God. I have not called you and not provided for you. I have provided for you in this life and the life to come. When you die, I have ensured that you are provided for. Have you provided for your family in the event of your death?

I am not a man. I am God, and I am your provider. The church will not collapse in the spiritual "devilquake" of the hour. I have made it "devilquake" proof. Though your home cannot be earthquake proof, I have made the church secure. It is designed to go through all calamities. I have not left you without vision. The foresight of vision is accurate. My providence includes accurate foresight and care for you. The providence of God is filled with wisdom. There are no temptations that you can encounter that have not been planned for before time. A way of escape is planned in every temptation. Do not worry about a failing economy, for I have provided finances for you in the turbulent times. Come alive unto the power of my provision. I have provided and prepared for everything in advance. I have taken care of all things beforehand. Why do you think I instruct you to observe the birds and the flowers?

Do they worry about tomorrow?

They have it built into them to trust me to provide for them. Are you better than they?

I have looked out for you in advance. Go and preach about the inexhaustible supply of God. I see the beginning and the ending at the same time. I have provided against the inclemency of the spiritual weather and taken measures to protect you in an unexpected need at the same time. Your enemies cannot creep up on you. Your defense against them is already planned, so why stay awake and worry when I am keeping the city?

I am building the house. Do not labor with those who do not labor with me. I am the builder, and I have elected you to labor with me. The house will be finished, so do not worry. I know you have need of a worship center. It is provided in the future. Journey down the plain path, and offer thanks each day for the completed work that is already supplied in the future. I have supplied resources beyond the requirements of obligation. Prepare yourself for the miracle that I am manifesting while I yet speak.

RE: RHEMA - The Inexhaustible Supply of God Has Supplied All Things For Now and In the Future

Peace is the result of eternal tidings that wrap our soul in its infinite plans. Eternity hides around the corner of our perception. His supply seems just out of our reach, but as we reach for him, we already have our fingers on the door of his inexhaustible supply. If we were to divide by millions and subtract by billions, we would still not have enough words to describe all the things that he brings to one dimension of time. He opens his hand and every living thing is fed. He opens his mouth and every fiber of our being vibrates with abundant life beyond our capacity to hold. We are, many times, satisfied with our needs in this life being met. This is just the dust on the door steps of eternity. All our requests added together are just a spot on the windshield of the vehicle of his supply that is racing toward us. In his love, he has promised all things in this world and the world to come. Streets of gold and mansions are just faint ripples on the pool of Love's infinite supply. He has begun a good work in us. He will not fail to bring everything to the building site of our lives to finish the project. Tomorrow's sunlight is just beneath the surface of the sun. Yet, it is coming this way! Tomorrow's supply is on the landing pad as we speak. If God supplied 20 billion quail for Israel for their lust, then faith has an unlimited supply of promise on the train of love that is pulling into our station.

The devil means them for bad, but God means them for good. Unless the Lord teaches me of his way, I will not rightly differentiate the truly good from the truly bad.

I am on a journey. The uncomfortable path is a path that I must lead others down. I must be a first partaker of the fruit so that I may become skilled in leading others down this path. I purpose to learn to rejoice in the uncomfortable times and then will I lead others in joy and not in grief. He is not slack concerning his promises.

The Lord is not a man. He is God, and he is my provider. The church will not collapse in the spiritual "devilquake" of the hour. The Lord has made it "devilquake" proof.

He has provided and prepared for everything in advance. He has taken care of all things beforehand. He has instructed me to observe the birds and the flowers to confirm that he has left nothing undone. They do not worry about tomorrow. They have it built into them to trust him to provide for them, and God has not made them better than me. The Lord has looked out for me in advance. I will go and preach about the inexhaustible supply of God. He sees the beginning and the ending at the same time. He has provided against the inclemency of the spiritual weather and taken measures to protect me in an unexpected need at the same time.

My enemies cannot creep up on me. My defense against them is already planned, so I do not need to stay awake and worry when Jesus is keeping the city. He is building the house. I will not labor with those who do not labor with him. He is the builder, and he has elected me to labor with him. The house will be finished, so I will not worry. He knows I have need of a worship center. It is provided in the future. I journey down the plain path and offer thanks each day for the completed work that is already supplied in the future. He has supplied resources beyond the requirements of obligation. I prepare myself for the miracle that God is manifesting while he yet speaks.

INSPIRATION

By Don Grigsby

RE: RHEMA - Authoritative Grace Labors Effectually and Prevents Sin from Ruling Over Us While Aborting the Menace of Failure

Thank you for this wonderful word of grace in dealing with failure. The Lord gave me this word on failure and dealing with it. Receive a fresh revelation of my power and grace. In the difficulty, I will bring forth victory.

Out of the deepest pit, will walk Dynamic Deity. Out of the awful situation, will be revealed my awesomeness. Out of your lowest points, I will cause you to ascend to my highest points of blessing. Be as Job who saw creation's graphic beauty sweep the night sky of his pain with the canvass of spoken power. Be as Ezekiel who saw the vaulted ceilings of captivity retracted to see the open door of heaven where the universe poured out glittering and shimmering jewels of a billion points of power. Behold John as he lifted his face from the sandy granite hardness of isolation to see the One who took him and the church with one hand and with the other hand, opened the door of time and carried them into and eternity where no harsh hands would ever inflict suffering on his body again.

Look as Moses when he lifted his eyes above the limp tents of the groaning, complaining masses to see me mobilize days of creation like troops on parade to march down into the formless void of the beginning of time. See David as he grabbed angels and stars as he danced in his dreams across fields of battle that others had never fought on before. Isaiah saw the heavens filled with the measureless greatness of my ability to mete out the heavens with the span of my hand and stretch out everything out of the closet of nothing. Daniel wept for home but soon beheld the Builder of the houses of eternity push down kingdoms and build temples and kingdoms that only kings could dream of. In the lion's den, he saw his Creator cradle lions like kittens and feed them with the milk of silence. When David looked so painfully into the mirror of his own disappointments, he saw the face of Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow fill a glory cloud with the presence that picked him up like a shepherd would a lamb and anointed his pain with oil and his empty cup ran over with the blessing that had seemed to run and hide from him.

(Continued)

Lay not up your treasure for yourself, but lay up your treasure in heaven that you may be rich toward me. Your life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. You are better than birds. They neither sow nor reap. They neither have storehouses nor barns, and I feed them.

307. Can you add one inch to your stature by taking thought?

308. If you are not able to do that thing which is least, why take thought for the rest?

The lilies of the field grow. They do not toil. They do not spin, and Solomon in all of his glory was not dressed like one of these.

309. If I clothe the grass that is in the field today and is cast into the oven tomorrow, will I not clothe you, O ye of little faith?

Cease wasting your time, and get busy in the kingdom. I will add all the things that you seek in due time if you seek the kingdom and my righteousness. I have given you a kingdom and placed it within you. Get busy laboring in this internal kingdom. You do not have to worry about thieves stealing your treasure in heaven, for no thief can approach this kingdom. Moth cannot corrupt this internal kingdom. You do not need to insure the treasure of this heavenly kingdom. Men do not have to insure that which they distribute to the poor and give away.

310. You have insured earthly things, but have you laid up treasure in heaven?

I have magnified my mercy, and you have found grace in my sight. You should have died in your sins. Hell should have been your lot, but I allowed your soul to live. Do not look back at the world, for there is nothing there but the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life. Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If you love the world, the love of the Father is not in you. The world will pass away and the lust thereof, but he that doeth the will of God abides forever. The world hated me before it hated you.

311. If men hate you, then are they of the world or of the truth?
