Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

Refrain yourself from this foolish war, and allow the gift within you to make room for you. It will bring you before great men. The truly great men of the age are not in the war along the by-pass. The by-pass is filled with offended brethren. A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city. Their contentions are like the bars of a castle. Cast down your bars of contention, and pick up peace. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God. Those who are mine will not kill, nor destroy good names. Behold the name of the LORD, and trust in it. It is your rock. It is your shield. A fortress has been supplied for you. Here is safety. Dwell in the name of the LORD.

(RHEMA: The Seduction of Arrogance Is Eluded by Humility)

I refrain myself from this foolish war, and I allow the gift within me to make room for me. It will bring me before great men. The truly great men of the age are not in the war along the by-pass. The by-pass is filled with offended brethren. A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city. Their contentions are like the bars of a castle. I cast down my bars of contention and pick up peace. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God. Those who are the Lord's will not kill, nor destroy good names. I behold the name of the LORD and trust in it. It is my rock and my shield. A fortress has been supplied for me. Here is safety. I dwell in the name of the LORD.

Beware of Deceitful Workers Who Are Transformed Into Ministers of Righteousness

How many things do I do for you that you don't ask me to do?

Do you think I am a God that only acts on your behalf when you ask me to?

I am your God, your Lord. I am acting on your behalf while you are asleep. Why do you think you are safe this morning?

When your children were small, why did you rise up in the night to see if they were alright?

Do you think that I am less than a man?

Don't you know that I am concerned about your welfare?

I have taken care of today and tomorrow. I am the beginning and the ending. In your beginning, were you destroyed?

In your ending, will you be destroyed?

I began a good work in you, and I will finish the good work that I have started. I desire my people to understand my nature. I am a God of compassion. I am longsuffering, tender, and full of patience. I am all wise and have all power. Rest in these everlasting arms, and allow the fears of the last days to pass through the atmosphere unnoticed by your mind and spirit. I have said, "Fear not." Fear has torment, but my perfect love casts out fear. Fear cannot invade the domain of perfect love. I am perfect love, and I reside in you. Greater am I, who is in you, than the evil one who is in the world.

There is no darkness in me at all. If you say that you have fellowship with me and walk in darkness, you lie and do not the truth, but if you walk in the light as I am in the light, you have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses you from all your sins. Walk in the light of my love so that you are found clean and worthy of being caught away at my coming. Make no mistake. I will take no one with me who is not walking in love. Many struggle with loving because they do not keep my word. The love of God is perfected in those who keep my word. People lie when they say they know me and do not keep my commandment. The truth is not in them. Another Jesus has taken up residence in them, and they are deceived. If you abide in me, you ought to walk as I walked.

People should cringe at the thought that an angel of light could be working in them and not know it. There are deceitful workers among you who have been transformed into the ministers of Christ. Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light; therefore, it is no great thing that his ministers also are transformed as the ministers of righteousness. Their end shall be according to their works. Peter received the revelation of who I am. A few moments later he was deceived, and another spirit spoke through him. I rebuked him. There are some among you who are in line to be rebuked, for they are allowing another spirit to speak through them. I am the same always. Are you the same?

Could you minister to my body in the same spirit that you display at home?

Could you minister to my body in the same spirit that you display in secret?

Are you deceived?

Do you have another Jesus?

If you have the hope of eternal life dwelling in you, then purify yourself even as I am pure. It does not yet appear what you shall be, but when I appear, you shall be like me, for you shall see me as I am. I was manifested to take away your sins, and in me, there is no sin. Why do many wrestle with their sins?

I was manifested that I might destroy the works of the devil. Continue teaching on loving one another, for this is the message that has been heard from the beginning, that they should love one another, not as Cain, who was of that wicked one and slew his brother. Why did he slay his brother?

His own works were evil, and his brother's works were righteous. This is at the heart of the strife and the hatred among the people. Go and destroy this jealousy among the people with my word by my Spirit. Go.

RE: RHEMA - Beware of Deceitful Workers Who Are Transformed Into Ministers of Righteousness

Satan is no longer a detestable looking figure with at tail and horns. He uses a designer suit and has the latest technology with him. We should never be fooled by the presentation or the appearance of the enemy. He will come into the camp just like one of the best. Discerning of spirits is our weapon of choice at this time. When the Words goes forth and the normal operation of the church is engaged in and there is disharmony in this spirit the we know we have an enemy presence. God will act to prevent the disarray of the enemy even when we are not hearing the lies that he is speaking. His libel and slander may be believed by many who are easily persuaded. God knows those that are his and they will not hear the voice of a stranger. Sheep should flee from the voice of the stranger into the shepherd's arms. Jealousy is a monster that will rise up and try to destroy love. Those who walk in love and love the truth will not be embraced by the tentacles of jealousy and pride. Ministers of light could be the agents of the enemy. Let us be careful what we hear and how we hear.

DECEITFUL WORKERS

God has done more things for me that I did not ask him to do than I can number. I do not think that he is a God that only acts on my behalf when I ask him to. He is my God, my Lord. He is acting on my behalf while I am asleep. I know this is why I am safe this morning. When my children were small, I rose up in the night to see if they were alright because of my love for them. God is not less than a man. I know that he is concerned about my welfare. He has taken care of today and tomorrow. He is the beginning and the ending. In my beginning, I was not destroyed. In my ending, within the Lord's arms, I will not be destroyed. He began a good work in me, and he will finish the good work that he has started. He desires his people to understand his nature. He is a God of compassion. He is longsuffering, tender, and full of patience. He is all wise and has all power. I rest in these everlasting arms and allow the fears of the last days to pass through the atmosphere unnoticed by my mind and spirit. He has said, "Fear not." Fear has torment, but his perfect love casts out fear. Fear cannot invade the domain of perfect love. He is perfect love, and he resides in me. Greater is he, who is in me, than the evil one who is in the world.

There is no darkness in the Lord at all. If I say that I have fellowship with him and walk in darkness, I lie and do not the truth, but if I walk in the light as he is in the light, I have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses me from all my sins. I walk in the light of his love so that I am found clean and worthy of being caught away at his coming. I must make no mistake. The Lord will take no one with him who is not walking in love. Many struggle with loving because they do not keep his word. The love of God is perfected in those who keep his word. People lie when they say they know him and do not keep his commandment. The truth is not in them. Another Jesus has taken up residence in them, and they are deceived. If I abide in him, I ought to walk as he walked.

People should cringe at the thought that an angel of light could be working in them and not know it. There are deceitful workers among us who have been transformed into the ministers of Christ.

There are some among us who are in line to be rebuked, for they are allowing another spirit to speak through them. Jesus is the same always. I desire to be the same at all times. I desire to display the same spirit at home as I do when ministering to his body. I cannot minister to his body in the same spirit that I have displayed in secret. If I am deceived, then I have another Jesus.

If I have the hope of eternal life dwelling in me, then I purpose to purify myself even as he is pure. It does not yet appear what I shall be, but when he appears, I shall be like him, for I shall see him as he is. He was manifested to take away my sins, and in him, there is no sin. I do not understand why so many wrestle with their sins. He was manifested that he might destroy the works of the devil. I will continue teaching on loving one another, for this is the message that has been heard from the beginning, that they should love one another, not as Cain, who was of that wicked one and slew his brother. He slew his brother out of an evil heart of envy and jealousy. His own works were evil, and his brother's works were righteous. This is at the heart of the strife and the hatred among the people. I purpose to go and destroy this jealousy among the people with his word by his Spirit.

RE: RHEMA - The Miracles Conceived In Us Shall Come Forth and Testify of the Greatness of God's Power and Faithfulness

The sovereign work of the Almighty shall overshadow and displace the resentment of the pride of the religious. Such a flood of the DNA of the supernatural and the miraculous is in the being of true believers. There is enough genetic code for there to be non stop miracles. If there is enough DNA in the physical body, if it were unraveled that it would reach to the Sun and back 100 times, how much more of the supernatural has been conceived in us by the Rhema word of God?

All the prophets felt the shame of the stigma of announcing the miracles and promises that now one would believe long in advance of the actual event. Abraham must have been the joke of the neighborhood while he was looking for a child at his advanced age. Elijah must have been the laughter of all the people when he announced miracles of weather that no one thought could control except God. Our great God is announcing things that go beyond the realm of Joshua in speaking to planets to win the battles of every day life. Victory is assured to those who will boldly declare the Word of the Lord. As we will finally enjoy the reality of the miracle, others will live in the abject spiritual poverty of their own cynicism.

(Continued)

I am removing all the idols from the hearts of my chosen ones. I will be first, and I will not be second. If you make someone or something first in your life, then you are not worthy of me. If you cannot offer praise, then you have come into bondage unto another spirit. I will not stand in line while you worship another god. You have put your hands to the plow of faith. Now do not look back and declare yourself unworthy of me. This trial is about the god of the world and the Living God. The accuser of the brethren has brought you before my throne and accused you of loving another more than me; therefore, this trial was sent your way. You must prove the worth that grace has supplied you with.

331. Are you worthy of me?

Do not think that the situations that have happened unto you are unusual. These things are not out of the ordinary. You should expect these things, for I have told you of them in my word. Though these things have brought unto you great pain, disappointment, rejection, betrayal, and sorrow, they are the ingredients of greater good that is in the making. These things are alien to the mentality of some Christians, for they do not know me in the fellowship of my sufferings.

332. How can you rule over disappointment, grief, sorrow, rejection, betrayal, and impossibility, if you have not overcome them?

These things rule over most Christians because they have not bought gold tried in the fire. These things rule in the dimension of the fire. You should rule in these domains, for your God is a consuming fire, and you are a son of the fire. These things rule as giants over most people because they are weak in faith.

333. How will you overcome the world, if you have not faith?

I am sending forth a new decree into my body requiring those who are deemed worthy of me to know me as I want them to know me. Because you have become familiar with songs about me and had experiences with me, does not mean that you know me. My name is a familiar word used in Christian exercises, but a real knowledge of me is absent from these same exercises. I have come to give you living experiences that will train you for ministry beyond the good things of this life.

334. What good is a ministry that can only minister to recipients of good things?
