Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

Look not for the limelight of religious politics. The legal representatives of religious zealots will slay you for a spot before one another in their moments of fleshly glory. If you must slay someone's name to assure that you remain exalted, then I did not exalt you. He who exalts himself shall be abased. He who abases himself shall be exalted. Humble yourself under my mighty hand. Submit yourself to me then resist the devil, and he will flee from you. The accuser of the brethren is a ruthless prosecutor. I have taken the stand on your behalf. I am the Faithful Witness. I am in you to give my own testimony for you. I am present to give the testimony of Jesus Christ on behalf of those redeemed by precious blood and forgiven of their sins. The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. If you cast aside the spirit of prophecy, how will you hear my testimony?

I know that you are guilty and so is every man. Who is he that is without sin?

Throw down your stones, for all have sinned and come short of my glory. Whosoever judgest another, condemnest himself and is inexcusable, for he that judgest, doest the same things. My judgment is according to truth against all that commit such things. Do you think that if you judge them, which do such things and you do the same, that you will escape the judgment of God?

If I cast aside the spirit of prophecy, there is no way that I can hear his testimony. God knows that I am guilty and so is every man. There is no one that is without sin. I throw down my stones of judgment, for all have sinned and come short of the Lord's glory. Whosoever judgest another, condemnest himself and is inexcusable, for he that judgest, doest the same things. God's judgment is according to truth against all that commit such things. If I judge them, which do such things and I do the same, then I will not escape the judgment of God.

The Restoration of True Prayer

(Illustration: Computer virus, bacteria virus)

The heavens declare the glory of God. The firmament shows my handiwork. I have given you light. You do not dwell in darkness. Because you have light, is one of the reasons that you see. I have opened your spiritual eyes so that you may see. Many have eyes, and they see not. Many have ears, and they hear not. Rejoice that your eyes see and your ears hear. I am speaking clearly in this hour. My sheep hear my voice. My voice is heard by all those who are mine. I have given you hearing ears. Now come to me in the mornings, and commune with me, and I will teach you all things that are necessary for achieving my purpose in the earth. The enemy has sent spiritual viruses into the battle. These viruses have affected the prayer life of my people. You are not ignorant of the devil's devices. How can you keep free of spiritual viruses if you do not pray?

Pray so that you do not enter into temptations. My people spend most of their time warring with unnecessary temptations because they do not pray effectually. You will be infected with temptations that distract you from the purpose if you do not return to true prayer. The best saint is vulnerable to temptations without prayer. Without prayer, you will be shut off from your communication with me. This spiritual virus of prayerlessness is not only passed on by devils. It is passed on from saint to saint. Go and quarantine this prayerlessness before it costs you souls and unwanted time spent by this distracting bug. The virus is often contacted by walking after the flesh. The flesh wars against the spirit. The flesh aims to erase all true spiritual operations from your life. This is a dangerous virus. Go and alert my people of this infectious enemy. Carnality is not easily eradicated from your life. Return unto your first love. Communications without love executes the spread of carnality. If you love me, obey my commandments. This spiritual virus has modified real prayer, and real prayer is hardly found among believers. I have come to restore real prayer. Do not allow the spread of this so-called prayer. It is an attack on your love for me. Because people say they love me, does not mean that they love me. Many say they love me with their mouths, but their hearts are far from me. Remember the "ILOVEYOU" virus. The babies are being taught to execute empty words without true heart felt prayers, and this infectious disease is spread among the people. Go and be a real example of a prayer warrior among the people. Go and disable this virus.

Would I instruct you to pray if I would not speak unto you?

True prayer has been hijacked, and the people are being swindled. Go and make the people aware of this fraud. The enemy has extracted words from my people without the voice of God in their lives. This is a meaningless perversion of my intent. I will bring many into the fold of God, for they shall hear my voice. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them. They follow me. Everyone that is of the truth hears my voice. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door of his heart, I will come in to him and sup with him and he with me.

RE: RHEMA - The Restoration of True Prayer

Satan's devices in the original Greek are the minds or mind sets that he provokes or infects us with. If we get into a ritual type prayer, we are not much better than the chants of the heathen. Our prayer relationship was intended to be Spirit led and creative in scope. Excitement fills the hearts of those who seek his face and are thrust into the forefront of a fresh dimension and vision of the working of God's power. Riches that are untold are being robbed from the hearts that are caught in the religious speaking of empty words. God will craft every word we speak into a divine act of power. If we will cease to focus on what we can project from our own thinking and allow his thoughts to overwhelm us, we will become a well spring of flowing rivers of prayer. Every landscape that is dry and barren will flourish and be fruitful in the flow of the life giving power of his Spiritual infusion. As the spirit intercedes and interacts with our spirits, the kingdoms that were meant to be thrown down and demolished will not be able to stand against the power released in the mouth of his servants.

The prayer life of the people has been hijacked. Their prayer lives have been seized and diverted along the highway of religion. Prayer is not a religious deed. Prayer is communication with Jesus, the Living God. He desires to restore true communication with him. I should pray to communicate with God. God would not instruct me to pray if he would not speak unto me. True prayer has been hijacked, and the people are being swindled. I will go and make the people aware of this fraud. The enemy has extracted words from God's people without the voice of God in their lives. This is a meaningless perversion of God's intent. Jesus will bring many into the fold of God, for they shall hear his voice. His sheep hear his voice, and he knows them. They follow him. Everyone that is of the truth hears his voice. Behold, Jesus stands at the door and knocks. If anyone hears his voice and opens the door of his heart, he will come in to him and sup with him and he with God.

RHEMA

By Don Grigsby

RE: RHEMA - The Everlasting Light Arising Upon Us

This came to me in the Spirit. I will pull back the veil over the lives of those that you behold in the captivity of sin. All you can see with your natural eye are shadowy figures laboring under their own deception. I pull back the curtains now to show you men standing with hands reaching out for something that is not a fraud. I want to remove the veil from your eyes to see the greatness in me that you have never seen then I can be seen in you by the light of greatness they have never seen, and they will run to me. Their hands have only held failure. Invite them to hold eternal greatness that will flow to them by the revelation that is in you.

(Continued)

Many minds are blinded because they do not understand the righteousness of God. Go and turn my people unto my righteousness and me. Point them to Christ. Point them to the glory in Christ. I desire to reveal to them both Lord and Christ. I desire to reveal to them both God and the Son. I desire to reveal to them both the Spirit and the body. I desire to reveal unto them both the Spirit and the temple. I am Jesus, the Lord. There is only one Lord and one Spirit. I am that Spirit. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. I am both Lord and Christ. Christ is the image of God. Christ is the Word. In the beginning, was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. I am both God and the Word. I am both Lord and the image of God. I desire to touch the eyes of the people and change them into my same image. I will do it by the Spirit of the Lord. Behold the work that I do among the people by the Spirit of Christ.

346. How often have you found mercy in my sight?

347. Why are you not cut off from my presence?

348. Are your works a guarantee of fellowship with me?

349. What is the value of the mercy and grace that you have received?

Look to me again, and behold the awesome grace at my throne. I have stretched forth a sceptre of righteousness and invited you into my presence again. Be thankful, and acknowledge your helplessness to continue in the path of righteousness of yourself. You can of yourself do nothing. All of your righteousness is as filthy rags. Give me your filthy rags today, and I will exchange them for the justification you have left behind.

350. How will you continue in the narrow way without justification by faith, which is in me?
