Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

I have heard the cry of my people. They have called on the name of the LORD, and they shall be delivered. I have called them, and they have responded. I am good and ready to forgive. I am plenteous in mercy unto them that call upon me. You have prayed, and I have answered. I have spoken direct utterances in your hearing. I have chosen you to bear my name before many and to preach the living word. Be not weary in well doing. Do not faint. I have sent help and understanding. Your strength shall increase, and your words shall confound the adversaries. Go preach Jesus, and worry not about those who seek to destroy you.

(RHEMA: Marked For Blessings by the Pen of Persecution)

God has heard the cry of his people. They have called on the name of the LORD, and they shall be delivered. He has called them, and they have responded. He is good and ready to forgive. He is plenteous in mercy unto them that call upon him. I have prayed, and he has answered. He has spoken direct utterances in my hearing. He has chosen me to bear his name before many and to preach the living word. I will not be weary in well doing, and I will not faint. The Lord has sent help and understanding. My strength shall increase, and my words shall confound the adversaries. I will go and preach Jesus, and I will not worry about those who seek to destroy me.

Moses Hightower

Hidden In the Light During Gross Darkness

The night is coming and then no one will be able to work. Work while it is day. I have given you light. Now walk in the light as I am in the light. Gross darkness has covered the earth, and the hands of darkness seek to devour everyone and everything in its path. The horror of great darkness has fallen upon the entire earth. This darkness is very thick. I will keep your feet and keep the wicked silent. Your adversaries shall be broken to pieces, for I shall thunder upon them. I have given you more strength and exalted the horn of my anointed ones.

The darkness is under my feet. I ride upon the wings of the wind and make the darkness pavilions round about me. Fear not during this time of gross darkness. I shall send out arrows and scatter your enemies. My lightning shall discomfit them. The hour of great calamity has come, but I will keep you safe during this hour. You have been brought into a large place of grace. I have rewarded you according to my righteousness. The cleanness of my hands is keeping you and recompensing you according to my mercy. With mercy, have I reached for you, and with grace, have I engulfed you. My compassion has overwhelmed you, and my light has hidden you from all that seek your hurt. The haughty ones that have attacked you shall be brought down. I am your lamp, and I have lightened your darkness. By me, run through this troop of foes. By me, leap over the wall of hindrance. I am your strength and power. I will make your way straight. Your feet shall be like hinds' feet. They are set upon my high places. I have taught your hands to war. The bonds of steel will be broken by my strength and power, for I am the shield of your salvation. I have been gentle toward you. I have shown you great patience.

Your steps have been enlarged under you so that your feet will not slip. The enemies that gave chase have slipped into a ditch. I pursued them and destroyed them so that they will not rise again. They fell under my feet. They have been subdued under your feet. I gave you their necks. They have been beaten small as the dust. They have been stamped as the mire of the street. The strivings that were among the people have been done away with. Worship me in the beauty of holiness. I am your rock and the God of your salvation. I will make even your enemies to be at peace with you in this time of darkness. Busy yourself in the work of the Lord, and fear not the violent men in the darkness. Give thanks continually, and sing praises unto my name. I am the tower of salvation, your King. I am showing you mercy. Go and give what you have received.

RE: RHEMA - Hidden In the Light During Gross Darkness

God has given us the treasures of the darkness. Even green plants grow in the dark phase of photosynthesis. Pavilions of power are hidden in the clouds we cannot see through. At the cross, Jesus let us know in the three hours of darkness that he would be with us in the greatest dimension of his love at the darkest times of life. Even though the gross darkness may affect the culture and most of the people around us, the darkness will never swallow up the light. In the Psalms, the writer let us know that the light and the darkness are alike to the Lord. Some have said that darkness is only light that we cannot see. Just look through the night vision optics of the military. These instruments take the light that is in the darkness and give us a clear vision. Our God called the light out of the darkness! Grace has brought us through the battles when we could hardly see the road before us. If we will allow the Lord to open our vision, we will see that the thunderous sound we hear are not the approach of the might host of the enemy but the sound of their complete destruction.

GROSS DARKNESS

The night is coming and then no one will be able to work. I must work while it is day. God has given me light. Now I walk in the light as he is in the light. Gross darkness has covered the earth, and the hands of darkness seek to devour everyone and everything in its path. The horror of great darkness has fallen upon the entire earth. This darkness is very thick. Jesus will keep my feet and keep the wicked silent. My adversaries shall be broken to pieces, for he shall thunder upon them. He has given me more strength and exalted the horn of his anointed ones.

The darkness is under God's feet. He rides upon the wings of the wind and makes the darkness pavilions round about him. I do not fear during this time of gross darkness. He shall send out arrows and scatter my enemies. His lightning shall discomfit them. The hour of great calamity has come, but God will keep me safe during this hour. I have been brought into a large place of grace. He has rewarded me according to his righteousness. The cleanness of his hands is keeping me and recompensing me according to his mercy. With mercy, he has reached for me, and with grace, he has engulfed me. His compassion has overwhelmed me, and his light has hidden me from all that seek my hurt. The haughty ones that have attacked me shall be brought down. Jesus is my lamp, and he has lightened my darkness. By him, I run through this troop of foes. By him, I leap over the wall of hindrance. He is my strength and power. He will make my way straight. My feet shall be like hinds' feet. They are set upon his high places. He has taught my hands to war. The bonds of steel will be broken by his strength and power, for he is the shield of my salvation. He has been gentle toward me. He has shown me great patience.

INSPIRATION

RE: RHEMA - Polish Your Horns of Praise, and Allow Your Praises To Be a Horn That Sounds the Testimonies of God's Faithfulness

The symphony of the miraculous has been scored for the ages. Now our magnificent Director has assembled enough participants to lift up the instruments of praise and begin the intro with gusto. All the circumstances that presently surround us will be the back drop to contrast his greatness with our inability. His supernatural work is the carpet laid into barren rooms of those who have never experienced his greatness. His proceeding work will swallow up all the conventional wisdom and logic in its sweeping impact. Words must be spoken to open the flood gates of creation. Behind the curtains of the visible await the fresh designs of deity's delight. All the noise of other instrumentation that is playing to drown out the triumph of his power will be silenced by the cries of those experiencing the miraculous.

(Continued)

I execute judgment, and my fury goes out like fire. It will burn all that plan evil against you, and none can quench my fire. Men who have planned evil against you shall be punished according to the fruit of their doings. My fire is kindled against them. I am jealous and furious. I will take vengeance on all my adversaries. I reserve wrath for my enemies. I am slow to anger and great in power. I will in no wise acquit the wicked.

335. Who can stand before my indignation?

336. Who can abide in the fierceness of my anger?

I have rescued you from the villainous lord that you served under. The depravity of the actions against you was cruel. You were lead to believe that you had children and then told that you had no children. This is the action of a villain.

337. What if Paul had been told that Timothy was not his son in the gospel?

My strength does not fail when it encounters the strength of evil or your weaknesses. My strength crushed the satanic power and strength of Satan. It is working in you to crush all the power of evil working against you. The strength of the devil will not prevail against you. Submit yourselves unto me. Humble yourselves unto me. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. You cannot overcome this attack of the devil by carnal means. You cannot overcome this attack of the devil and his forces by choosing sides with the devil. You must agree with me if you are to overcome.

338. How will you overcome these forces of evil in the last days, if you cannot overcome in your present trial?

This trial was to train you for future trials.

339. If you neglect this trial, how will you prepare yourself for the ensuing trials of the future that are sure to come?
