Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

I am the author and the finisher of your faith. Look unto me. Set my joy before you, and you will endure your cross. The threat of shame shall not silence your faith. Continue looking unto me. I have taken your hand in my hand. Lay aside your weights and besetting sins, and run with patience the race that is set before you. I will not cast you aside, neither will I help evil doers. I will fill your mouth with laughing and your lips with rejoicing. Everyone who hates you shall be clothed with shame, and their dwelling place shall come to naught. I have taken up the cause against you. I will fight against that which is unjust. I am your shield and your buckler. My spear is against your foes. I have shut up the way of those that persecute you, for I am your salvation. Your foes shall be confounded and put to shame. They shall be turned back and brought to confusion. They shall be as chaff before the wind, and the angel of the Lord shall chase them. Their way shall be dark and slippery. The angel of the Lord shall persecute them. Though men hide their nets for you in a pit and dig for your soul, they shall be ashamed and brought to confusion. I will clothe them with shame and dishonor that magnify themselves against you. Confusion shall cover them as a mantle.

(RHEMA: Set the Joy of the Lord Before You, and by Faith, Endure Your Cross)

God is the author and the finisher of my faith. I look unto him. I set his joy before me, and I will endure my cross. The threat of shame shall not silence my faith. I continue looking unto the Lord. He has taken my hand in his hand. I lay aside my weights and besetting sins, and I run with patience the race that is set before me. The Lord will not cast me aside, neither will he help evil doers. He will fill my mouth with laughing and my lips with rejoicing. Everyone who hates me shall be clothed with shame, and their dwelling place shall come to naught. God has taken up the cause against me. He will fight against that which is unjust. He is my shield and my buckler. His spear is against my foes. He has shut up the way of those that persecute me, for he is my salvation. My foes shall be confounded and put to shame. They shall be turned back and brought to confusion. They shall be as chaff before the wind, and the angel of the Lord shall chase them. Their way shall be dark and slippery. The angel of the Lord shall persecute them. Though men hide their nets for me in a pit and dig for my soul, they shall be ashamed and brought to confusion. God will clothe them with shame and dishonor that magnify themselves against me. Confusion shall cover them as a mantle.

The Voice of the Spirit Declaring Faith As a Weapon At the Table of Voices

I have not allowed you to come to this place in life to have an enemy take you under to the pits of corruption. I have brought you to the place of redemption and not to the places of defeat. An enemy has lied to you and attempted to abort your faith in my faithfulness. Come from the table of voices. There are many voices and none of them are without signification. I have sent forth the voice of the spirit of God. My voice is speaking clearly in this hour. I have begun a good work, and I will finish the work that I have started. Fear not the enemy and his threats. Be confident of the victory that is already won. I won your victory at Calvary. Now rest in the victory of the cross. My blood is a paved way to the victory over all the things that I have won for you.

Lift your voice, and praise me even in the times when you see no victory. The victory that I have won is not a victory that is beheld by the natural eyes. It is a victory that is beheld by the eyes of faith. I know your shortcomings. I know your failures. I know where you are. I know your destiny. Now come to the throne of grace, and behold the victory that is in my right hand. The same right hand that brought out Israel is the same right hand that has brought you out. Now lift your eyes from these pits and the threats of your enemies. These things have no power over you. You are redeemed by precious blood. Lift your eyes again to my blood and its power then offer fervent praises because of faith. Faith is a weapon that I have freely given every man. Shall faith fail in the presence of the threats of voices from the darkness?

Come to the belief of Abraham, and offer a good profession in the face of these things. The territory that I have sent you unto is no different than any other place. I am the God that shall save those people from their sins and bring them out of bondage. Is anything too hard for me, the Living God?

Then minister unto me, and you shall behold the power of my deliverance that I have wrought on behalf of my own name. My name is a mighty weapon in your bosom. Speak my name, and behold the things that back away from your presence. Lift your voice in the sanctuary. Lift your voice in the streets. Be not silent in this hour of harlotry. Show forth the faith within you. The enemy desires you to falter and doubt in this hour of opportunity. Arise to the occasion before you, and speak words of faith in this due season. Be not weary in well doing. You will reap if you do not faint. Why faint when you have faith?

Faith will move these mountains. Faith will bring you out of the horrible situations that torment your mind. Faith will cause you to abound when your body does not feel like going on. Faith is not residing in the impossibilities. Faith has leaped from your heart, for you have spoken it. Lift your voice, and speak words of faith in this due season. Your words shall cause doors to be opened. Your words shall thrust the enemies out of the doors of opportunity. The enemy has camped round about. The enemy has no power to bring down the light of the Church. Fear not, the power of redemption is working on your behalf. Now rise up in praise, and bring down these strongholds that have vented themselves against you.

You are the light of the world; therefore, be not set on the hills of revival with bushels over your heads. Thrust out the bushels that have shaded my glory and bring the light of praise in the face of the doubtful expressions from the warriors against my body, the Church. The light of my glory shines, and now shall my light of glory blind the eyes of the enemies against the church. Rise and behold the time frame of the Lord. I am the Lord, and I change not. Behold the glory of the Lord. Behold it, for it fills the whole earth. This glory shall overshadow the gross darkness that is also covering the land. My glory shall use it as a background for my brightness of victory and power. Only believe.

RE: RHEMA - The Voice of the Spirit Declaring Faith As a Weapon At the Table of Voices

Many voices are in the world and none of them are without significance. Voices of other lovers and influencers vie for our affections. Our enemy will speak words that are as smooth as silk and slide like a well oiled portion down the throat of our thinking if we will listen. We must silence the voices in our lives that are not the voice of our beloved. Faith is the voice that is running like a river and fresh as the breeze with inspiration in us. If something only sounds good but has no power of creative impact in it, we must delete it from our hearing. Tables have been set for us that are a snare to our faith. We will eat only the fresh Rhema of the Lord that comes to us daily. Our daily bread is the portion that will multiply even more abundantly that the five loaves in the hands of Jesus Christ. Tables of shewbread are set before us as the voice of a trumpet for us to boldly declare. The book of Revelation is filled with the voices of power that open and shut ages and dispensations. They are the powerful pendulums of prophecy that swing the tides of power in the universe in every direction. As the print of a voice pushes our 360 degrees in every direction the pool of power that goes out from us in the words of faith are more powerful than any earthly tsunami. We will sit at the table that Abraham sat at alone in the wilderness outside of Sodom. We can speak in faith and save entire cities of evil if we will not leave off speaking. We will not sit at the table of debate or normal discourse but at the table that faith alone has prepared. His voice will launch the words of faith into the battle at a point that will defeat every foe.

Jesus has not allowed me to come to this place in life to have an enemy take me under to the pits of corruption. He has brought me to the place of redemption and not to the places of defeat. An enemy has lied to me and attempted to abort my faith in his faithfulness. I come from the table of voices. There are many voices and none of them are without signification. He has sent forth the voice of the spirit of God. His voice is speaking clearly in this hour. He has begun a good work, and he will finish the work that he has started. I will not fear the enemy and his threats. I am confident of the victory that is already won. He won my victory at Calvary. Now I rest in the victory of the cross. His blood is a paved way to the victory over all the things that he has won for me. I lift my voice and praise him even in the times when I see no victory.

RE: RHEMA - Positioned In the Secret Place of the Most High and Abiding Under the Shadow of the Almighty

As our life is hid with Christ, in God, the extension of God's creation in that it is exposed to attack and has a permanent shield in the manifestation of God in Flesh. Our God is truly the shadow of not any mountain here on earth but the extension of the influence of the mountain of God upon which his throne sits in heaven. So massive is the power centralized in the throne of God over the universe, that when its shadow extends to cover us, it is more than a shadow but like the cyclone-like storms of wind that are prominent in the tropical zones of the earth. All the enemy can see is a great dust storm that he has to eat because the feet of the Lord are all about his hidden people. Our defenses are not unequal to our offensive weapons of battle. Not only is the sword of the spirit lifted in the mouth of his prophets, but we become the state of the art weaponry in our transition to songs of worship and prayer, ICBM's that are hurled with prophetic anointing into all the installations of the forces against us. Men may mock and ridicule but will be consumed in their own exposure because when they do this, they are casting away their own covering. They open the city of their own dwelling to the attack of the enemy because God says, "If you do not like what I am doing, let us see what you can do on your own." Our feet shall be on the necks of our enemies. Eternity is hearing now the triumphant cry of a victorious people who know their God and his voice. Their tread will echo throughout the heavens.

(Continued)

I have given my life a ransom for the world. I have not cancelled my salvation because of the tragedies in the earth. Healing is available in spite of trouble. Comfort is available by the voice of the church. I have sent out the call to minister. Hear the call of purpose in midst of the blast of trouble. I have not given you the spirit of bondage again to fear, but I have given you the spirit of power, of love and of a sound mind. My love is casting out fear. Be perfected in love, and there will not be a place for fear to reside. Emergency workers are risking their lives to help those in trouble.

366. Where are my people in fulfilling their purpose?

367. Who will take up the broadcast of truth and play the tune of eternal life today?

Grace and truth has come to the world. I desire to journey to someone's house to deliver salvation to the waiting arms of faith. Today is the day of salvation.

368. Who suspend their fears and their issues to make known the message of life?

The rescue workers are to be commended for the job that they are doing. They have a job ahead of them. I will be with them. You have a job to do. I am with you. Many are perishing without me all over the world. I desire to amass a team of rescue workers for the gospel's sake and for my name to reach those who are lost. Souls are perishing while you are wasting time. Come and follow me. I have opened your ears to hear my voice. Now hear what I am saying to the Church. The world rescue workers have their responsibilities. The church rescue workers have their responsibilities. You cannot take care of their responsibilities. I have given you a specific calling. Now arise, and preach the gospel to every creature. Their purpose is obvious.

369. When will you realize the urgency of your purpose?
