Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

I did not spare my own Son. I delivered him up for all. How shall I not, with him also, freely give you all things?

I justified you. Who shall lay anything to your charge?

Who is he that will condemn you?

It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for you. Who shall separate you from the love of Christ?

Be fully persuaded that nothing shall be able to separate you from the love of God that I have shed abroad in your heart by the Holy Ghost. Walk in love just as Christ has loved you. He gave himself for you as an offering and a sacrifice to me for a sweet-smelling savor. By the power of his offering, his sacrifice, his life, and words of your testimony, shame is banished. Joy that was set before you has strengthened your faith. Joy has placed you before the throne of grace in holy boldness. Rejoice. I have made you glad.

(RHEMA: Joy Will Strengthen Your Faith)

God did not spare his own Son. He delivered him up for all. If he gave his son, he will surely give me all things. He justified me. None shall lay anything to my charge. There is no one that can condemn me. It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for me. No one can separate me from the love of Christ. I am fully persuaded that nothing shall be able to separate me from the love of God that he has shed abroad in my heart by the Holy Ghost. I walk in love just as Christ has loved me. He gave himself for me as an offering and a sacrifice to him for a sweet-smelling savor. By the power of his offering, his sacrifice, his life, and words of my testimony, shame is banished. Joy that was set before me has strengthened my faith. Joy has placed me before the throne of grace in holy boldness. I rejoice. The Lord has made me glad.

The Goodness of God, As a Constant Companion, Who Has Brought Fulfillment On a Platter

I have been good to you. My goodness is leading you to repentance. Open the door to repentance, and enter into my bountiful blessings. Allow your praises to sound a joyful noise in my presence. Do not keep silent in this hour of noises. Make a joyful noise unto me. The light of joyful praise shall cause the darkness of noises to seem dim. My goodness is a constant companion. It is what drew you here to pray. It gave you a thankful heart and a yielded spirit. My goodness will continually lead you in the way of contrition. Look up. Your redemption is drawing nigh. I am coming for those who love my appearing.

Goodness has met you with a kiss, and my love has set your feet in a large room. Do not allow the limitations of your mind to rob you of the opportunities available to you. I have not set boundaries for you. I have opened up new avenues and given you fresh inspiration. The inspiration that I have given shall motivate you to seek my will, and abound by the power of grace. Be encouraged in me. I have not forgotten my promises to you. Fulfillment is on the horizon. Rise up, and kiss the sunlight of fulfillment. It comes speedily and with purpose.

I have subdued doubt and arrested fear. Fear has been cast out and sent back to the pit from whence it came. The love, which is shed abroad in your heart, has been revived in you, and now the power of faith leaps with the legs of a unicorn. Faith will not submit to the binding power of unbelief. It is destined to overcome the giant walls erected by skepticism. Allow not the failure of the past to come into the present or the future through the channels of your mind. Cast down the imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself above my knowledge. I know no defeat. I know no limitations. All things are possible if you believe. Is anything too hard for me?

Then rise up, and take your place as more than a conqueror. I have conquered the territories before you, and the spirits that once ruled in these territories have been banned. I have given you the land. Now go in, and possess it. All souls are mine. Do not allow man to dictate which souls you are to win. If you subject yourself to the lordship of man, you will miss the will of God for your life. I have shown you the selfishness and the spirit of error that controls many men. I have given you the spirit of truth. Now be not subjected to the spirit of error, which is antichrist. What fellowship has the spirit of truth with the spirit of error?

I am the head of the church. Be subjected to me. Cast your nets in the direction that I am pointing. There are many fish to be caught in the waters ahead. Come. Let's go fishing.

I have promised you goodness. I will not retract it. I have anointed you, and I will not turn my face from you. I was merciful unto David. I will also be merciful unto you. You are clothed with salvation. Now rejoice in goodness. The blessing of goodness will prevent you from sin and iniquity. I have placed a crown of pure gold upon your head. Now surely goodness and mercy shall follow you all the days of your life, and you shall dwell in my house forever. For my goodness' sake, I have not remembered your sins or your transgressions. According to my mercy, I have remembered you. You will live to see my goodness in the land of the living. Simply wait on me, and be of good courage while I strengthen your heart. I have laid up my goodness for you. You have trusted me before the sons of men; therefore, have I hidden you in the secret of my presence from the pride of men. I have kept you secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues. You have been shown kindness in a strong city. Now dwell here in perfect peace.

RE: RHEMA - The Goodness of God, As a Constant Companion, Who Has Brought Fulfillment On a Platter

God's good Word will not change. His immutability lets us know that he will not change sides. He is for us, and all the things that rise to do battle against us will be consumed by the same power of his mouth that will end the ages of history as we know it. His goodness is the eternal character that endures in his mercy and love. God wills unconditional benevolence for its intrinsic value. We are never more correct when we declare that he is good all the time! He will not take all his goodness away even in the judgment of sin because he remembers that we are but dust and a vapor. His covenant of creation is everlasting to the extent that the promise to have dominion did not die with the sin of Adam but is alive in the power of the second man Adam. Our future is not in the hands of defeat and difficulty, but we have been fashioned to be more than conquerors. God's goodness not only leads man to repentance but into a realm of gratitude that will liberate him from the selfishness that is the acid of the soul. Days of dark shadows may try to fill our horizon, but the sunlight of his goodness brings us the day that the night would not promise. His promises are already prepared in the ovens of heaven and heaped high on the platters of plenty. Disgrace and disappointment are standing on the outside as uninvited guests to the feast of fulfilled promises. Noises of the fight will not nullify the "yes" that has been spoken on our behalf. The gospel is the good news. It is really good declarations on our behalf. The gospel is only the beginning of a litany of volumes of promises that must come to pass in the lives of the believer that is in the city of goodness. Our residence is not in the uncertain slums of sour sarcasm but in the halls of inspiration's dance floors.

SELFISHNESS AND ERROR

God has been good to me. His goodness is leading me to repentance. I open the door to repentance and enter into his bountiful blessings. I allow my praises to sound a joyful noise in God's presence.

INSPIRATION

By Don Grigsby

RE: RHEMA - The Light of Love Guides Us In the Way of Peace

Light shall overwhelm and swallow up the darkness. Light will become so brilliant in the evening time that the shadows of darkness that hid many deceptive events will be boldly exposed. We must fall before him and repent of any propensity toward darkness. As children of light, everything that is born in us or of us should have the seed of the light of revelation that will cause to rise from its planting the dawning of the day of the Lord in every heart. His knowledge will cover the earth as do the seas. All that desire to hide their lust and false works will be swept away by the winds of revival and fresh inspiration.

(Continued)

You live in an awesome time. Do not be ignorant of my way. Follow and be obedient to my voice, and you will experience the deep things of the hour. The deep things of the Spirit are not experienced without viewing the simplicity of Christ. This is a paradox. It is illogical to the natural mind, but a reality of the Spirit. Do not be bound by your traditions, for behold I do a new thing. Many of the new things that I do will be nameless to you at first, so be not afraid to trust me when you do not recognize the things that you see happening. You have been bound by your traditions. You have made the word of God of no effect by them. Come unto the pathway of new things, and there you will behold me in a different dimension. I desire to reveal to you the depth of the riches of my wisdom and knowledge. My judgments are unsearchable and my ways are past finding out.

382. Who has known my mind?

383. Who has been my counselor?

384. Do you think that the things that you do in worship and praise are the extent of worshipping me?

Then come out into these new dimensions, and allow me to show you the things that are possible in true worship and true praise. Much of what you have done in the past is according to your traditions. I desire to teach you how to worship me in spirit and in truth. Behold the true worshippers coming in the distance.

385. Have you ever seen this kind of worship?
