Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

Desire mercy for others, and allow not hardness of heart to become a rocky treasure for you. You will only take unto yourself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of my righteous judgment when I render to every man according to his deeds. Do not obey unrighteousness, indignation, and wrath. I am against all that do evil, and there is no respect of persons with me. I am the righteous defender, but I will not take the cases of those that do evil and destroy others. Render good for evil. Allow your great trial of affliction to be unto my glory. In your trials, the abundance of joy should abound unto the riches of liberality. In your trials, take upon yourself the fellowship of the ministering to the saints. They are in need. They are hurting. They are in heaviness. Teach them to greatly rejoice so that the trial of their faith, which is much more precious than of gold that perisheth though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise, honor, and glory at my appearing. I desire to see my people rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory, receiving the end of their faith even the salvation of their souls.

I desire mercy for others, and I will not allow hardness of heart to become a rocky treasure for me. I will only take unto myself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of God's righteous judgment when he renders to every man according to his deeds. I will not obey unrighteousness, indignation, and wrath. God is against all that do evil, and there is no respect of persons with him. The Lord is the righteous defender, but he will not take the cases of those that do evil and destroy others. I will render good for evil. I allow my great trial of affliction to be unto his glory. In my trials, the abundance of joy should abound unto the riches of liberality. In my trials, I will take upon myself the fellowship of the ministering to the saints. They are in need. They are hurting. They are in heaviness. I will teach them to greatly rejoice so that the trial of their faith, which is much more precious than of gold that perisheth though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise, honor, and glory at God's appearing. The Lord desires to see his people rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory, receiving the end of their faith even the salvation of their souls.

A Wonder In the Distance

I am here to lead you in a plain path today. Do not draw back from following me. I am aware of your apprehension. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, let your requests be made known unto me, and the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your heart and mind through me, your Lord. Be not distracted by the signs of the times. You cannot tell the hour nor the day of my coming by signs. I am coming in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye. Simply be ready every twinkle of an eye. No one knows when I will come. Just remain ready. Be ready always! Follow me, and you will constantly seek those who are lost. It is the priority of the times. What does it profit a man, if he gains the whole world and loses his soul?

I will do a wonder in your ministry that you will not believe even if a preacher told you. Prepare for the wonder that is in the distance. You have isolated your gift. I have broken the bondage of isolation and rejection. Now the gift will make room for you. It shall bring you before great men. Do not come behind in a gift. Gifts were imparted to you by the laying on of hands. Now do not neglect the gift that is in you. Stir up the gift of God, and allow me to use you without hindrance. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above and comes down from me, the Father of lights. There is no variableness, neither a shadow of turning in me.

I have not turned away from my purpose. I am seeking to save those who are lost. I have not withheld the rain of the latter days from you. You have eaten fresh bread and drank fresh water continually. You were not slain by the swords of men. Though many have been overthrown in this hour, you are yet standing. You have found favor in my sight. I am the God of hosts. The harvest is plenteous, but the laborers are few. I have sent forth laborers into my harvest. Cease worrying about the tares among the wheat. Let them both grow together, and in the time of harvest, I will say to the reapers, "Gather together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn."

The tares are the children of the devil. The enemy sowed them, and my reapers shall take care of them. They shall be gathered and burned in the fire. They have offended me. I will send forth my angels, and they shall gather out of my kingdom all things that offend and them which do iniquity. The angels shall cast them into the furnace of fire, but the righteous shall shine forth as the sun in my kingdom. You have an ear to hear. Now hear.

Take heed what you hear. I am preparing to give you more because you hear. With what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you again. Prepare for a great increase. The harvest has come. I have brought forth the blade then the ear, and now the full corn in the ear comes. I am preparing to put forth my sickle because the harvest has come. I am sending you forth as lambs among wolves. You have peace with you. Go and carry peace unto the houses in your cities. The kingdom of God is in you. Go and preach the kingdom of God.

RE: RHEMA - A Wonder In the Distance

God has given unto us the treasures of eternal power. Gifts and utterance have opened the eyes of more than we realize. Our enemy would like for us to feel isolated as the prophet Elijah, but there are thousands that are not bowing at the altars of the unbelief of Baal.

God spoke to me recently and said:

Do not be afraid to speak my words, and continue to speak them. They are creative. Creation is a continuing process that eternity has designed. Men who refuse or try to disparage the Rhema word have dead letters working in them. I have given you the wondrous words of life. Every time you speak, there are new floods that wash away the fortifications of the armies of darkness and its host. Do not be discouraged that everything that you have spoken or written has not come to pass. Every word is inscribed in my heart, and I will not let them fall to the ground.

APPREHENSION

God is here to lead me in a plain path today. I purpose not to draw back from following him. He is aware of my apprehension. I determine not to be anxious for anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication, I will let my requests be made known unto God, and the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep my heart and mind through Jesus, my Lord. I will not be distracted by the signs of the times. I cannot tell the hour nor the day of his coming by signs. Jesus is coming in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye. I will simply be ready every twinkle of an eye. No one knows when he will come. I purpose to just remain ready. I determine to be ready always!

I follow Jesus, and I will constantly seek those who are lost. It is the priority of the times. It does not profit a man anything if he gains the whole world and loses his soul. God will do a wonder in my ministry that I will not believe even if a preacher told me. I prepare for the wonder that is in the distance. I have isolated my gift. Jesus has broken the bondage of isolation and rejection. Now the gift will make room for me. It shall bring me before great men. I will not come behind in a gift.

RHEMA

RE: RHEMA - God Is Worshipped In Spirit and In Truth, Not the Way Man Devises Worship of Him

Worship is not a Broadway production. No earthly writer can choreograph the sacred and intimate love of the bride and her Bridegroom. Many things that are pure and holy have been so prostituted that they have tended to become profane or at least common. Worship is under the same withering attack. People are looking for their own pleasure alone and not the King that we worship. Our worship must remain hallowed and spontaneous out of the intense love of our hearts. In the chambers of our heart, are the scrolled intimacies of the most holy love. As we are swept into his presence and away from this world, the world is the last intruder that is welcome there. Redemption has prepared the atmosphere, and his commandments are the walls of defense all around us. We will worship in spirit and in truth with peace and safety holding up.

(Continued)

Take up the instrument of faith today, and begin refining the promises given you. You are begging and pleading. Rise up, and refine what you have then will you understand how much has already been given you. I have given you precious promises. Many promises lay along the roadside of your mind in the dust of carnality and unbelief. Rise up, and dust off yourself with the fervent expressions of praise and worship. Rise up, and behold the effect of faith expressed in the due season of blessings. Due season is here. You are looking into the future and the yesterdays of the past, but look to this day, and behold the power of salvation working on your behalf. Salvation came and brought the ransom price for sins.

351. Is salvation unable to bring the benefits of the ransom price?

Here. Receive my righteousness, and cast down your self-righteousness. Cast away your rags of filth, and be washed with the fuller's soap of love and the washing of regeneration.

352. I am pouring out my spirit, but have you come to the shower or to your face bowl of carnality?

I am very rich in mercy. When you were dead in trespasses and sins, I expressed my extreme kindness toward you. This same kindness is expressing its nature and victory toward you. Experience the victory that comes by my kindness toward you. You should have perished, but the riches of my grace rained kindness upon you. Now allow the enabling grace that has made you acceptable in my sight abound. Enabling grace is leaping with you in its arms. I am carrying you. I brought you out of darkness and into my marvelous light. I brought you out of the devil's family and into the family of the Most High God.

353. How much more will I bring you out of every snare and every temptation?

I have given you a heart of thanksgiving. The gratitude that you feel today is of me. I have sent my grace your way and caused it to abound unto thanksgiving. You can of yourself do nothing. The thankful heart that you have listened to is of your Lord. Worship me, and fall at my feet, knowing that I am with you even unto the end of the age.

354. I am for you then who can be against you?

Worry not about your life in this world. I have already sealed you with the spirit of redemption. The earnest of your inheritance is in you. No one can take it from you. Believe the prophets, and know that the ways of the patriarchs were ordered of me. I have also ordered your steps. Now rise up, and walk in the paths of righteousness for my name's sake, and not your own. From a child, the spirit of God has touched you. You could not miss this divine ordination because it was ordered of me.

355. Will you miss the providence ahead of you?
