Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

Dwell no longer in a prison house, and make not the bars of sin your window. Dwell not in the darkness of this life, but come forth unto the light of grace. Hold forth your heart, and I will cut asunder all of your chains. I have come with deliverance in my hands. The gates of evil and the gates of mistakes and misfortune cannot bar me from you. I love you, and I have come with plenteous redemption. I have forgiven all your sins, and now you will not be afflicted because of your transgressions. I will deliver you out of all of your troubles and distresses. Sickness has plagued you and tormented you for years, yet it has not consumed you. Its threat is void of power, and its effect has failed in its expression to manifest defeat. You have been weak, and you have been worn, yet are you not defeated, nor destroyed. I sent my word and healed you. Destruction must now look for another avenue of expression, for I closed the pathway of your life and barred out sickness and destruction.

(RHEMA: The Gates of Mistakes and Misfortune Cannot Restrain God from You)

I will not dwell any longer in a prison house, and I do not make the bars of sin my window. I do not dwell in the darkness of this life, but I come forth unto the light of grace. I hold forth my heart, and he will cut asunder all of my chains. He has come with deliverance in his hands. The gates of evil and the gates of mistakes and misfortune cannot bar him from me. He loves me, and he has come with plenteous redemption. He has forgiven all my sins, and now he will not be afflicted because of my transgressions. He will deliver me out of all of my troubles and distresses. Sickness has plagued me and tormented me for years, yet it has not consumed me. Its threat is void of power, and its effect has failed in its expression to manifest defeat. I have been weak, and I have been worn, yet I am not defeated, nor destroyed. He sent his word and healed me. Destruction must now look for another avenue of expression, for he closed the pathway of my life and barred out sickness and destruction.

Your Heart Shall Not Fear When Men Come Against You

I have brought you into a large room of victory. Angels accompanied you here. They watch over you and keep you in all your ways. They have also encamped round about you and will deliver you in every trial. I have ordained mighty victory for the church. A multitude of souls are destined to come into the church. The names of many are already written in my book of life. There is a war for these souls. I have already won the war. No one can prevent the salvation of these souls. I have built them into my body. No one that I have predestined shall miss the good pleasure of my will. I have chosen them in me before the foundation of the world that they should be holy and without blame before me in love. I predestinated them unto the adoption of children to myself, according to the good pleasure of my will to the praise of the glory of my grace.

You are accepted in me, the beloved. In me, you have obtained an inheritance and were predestinated according to my purpose. I work all things after the counsel of my own will, and no one can hold any counsel against me; therefore, worry not. I foreknew you and predestinated you to be conformed to my image. I was the firstborn of many brethren. Whom I predestinated, I have also called them I also called, and whom I called, I have also justified them I also justified. Whom I justified, I also glorified. If I am for you, then who can be against you?

Though a host is arrayed against you, your heart shall not fear. Though war should rise against you, be confident that the whole army shall stumble and fall. Those who are with you are more than those who are against you. I have opened your understanding to know and believe this. In your time of trouble, I have you hidden in my pavilion. You are hidden in the secret of my tabernacle. I have set you upon a rock with your head lifted up above your enemies. Now offer the sacrifices of joy, and sing praises unto your God. I delivered my Son up for you and did not spare him. In that I delivered him up for you, I will also give you all things. Do not worry about those who lay things to your charge. I am the one who justifies. Who will condemn you?

I died in the flesh, and I am risen again. Now who shall separate you from my love?

Be secured in the love of God, and fear not what man will do unto you. Fear has torment. If you fear, then you are not made perfect in love. Who kept you while you slept?

Will you fear while you are awake?

If the enemy did not seize you while you slept and did not know you were in the world, why worry about him seizing you while you are awake?

I am the Lord, your God and Savior. I will protect those who are mine.

RE: RHEMA - Your Heart Shall Not Fear When Men Come Against You

Battles may fill the spectrum of our lives but the light of revelation fills our vision with the bold image of the cross always defeating every enemy. Every attack of man or spiritual bing will always fail because we are promised continual triumph in the name of Jesus Christ. Just recently these words came to me.

"Armies shall flee before you. I will scatter multitudes like the dust before the wind. The most immense giants will be as cinders in the fire of the intensity of my love for your defense. Mountains will be removed as quickly as the morning sun lifts the fog from the valleys of despair. Men's words will become the fleeting shadow of the birds of prey blown along by a mighty wind of my power. Every force that is against you will be confused, and I will put defeat in their hearts so that they will run at the sound of your footsteps.Be not dismayed by the forces before you for I, the Lord will bring my breath against all their threats, and you will have peace and assurance as my covenant with you."

As sure as we are his, he will not fail to cause us to ride in the chariots of his victory.

RHEMA

RE: RHEMA

I was praying this evening and this came to me.

Darkness has been the cloud of dread and the printing paper that my people have received their messages on long enough. Take the pages of light that come from the words I have already spoken. Pens with the ink of love await those who will let me write across the tables of their mind. Grace will take the precepts of my power and dance with them across the paragraphs of promises. Satan has been able to get people to listen to the music and the words of death long enough for them to be blinded to the sunrise of the day of my power. I will swallow up death in the joy of the celebrated victory of the prophetic worship of my people. Satan will try to tell you that you will only speak and write nonsense, but he will become the one following the only path that makes no sense. My people are lifted above the power of death by the feast of life I have already proclaimed. I will not give you the pauper's seat but the seat of the wealthy and confident. Those who have invested themselves in me will receive the true hundred fold blessings in this world now.

(Continued)

The prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience, is expressing himself in many. Be not ignorant of the devices of the evil one, but know of a truth, that he is leading you into conflicts that you do not have to be involved in. Do not make other people's wars your wars and then you will not be distracted from the purpose. You must agree with me if you are to walk after me. Think on the things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, and of good report. If there be any virtue and if there be any praise, think on these things.

391. How will you walk with me, if you think after the inspiration of another voice?

I have hidden you from the pride of man, and I keep you secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues. Notice how the strife of tongues works in the war that your nation is involved in. Learn a lesson from the wars and rumors of wars. Division is possible because of the division of tongues. Look at the violence and strife that is prevalent among the people. Mischief and sorrow are in their midst. Wickedness is in their midst. Deceit and guile are always among them and does not depart from them. Men of wrath continue to stir up strife.

392. Where are those who are slow to anger?

I do give you perfect peace. Simply keep your mind on me and not on the news of the day. Many are being plagued by interferences caused by their trust in what they are listening to. Turn from the news reports, and hear the heavenly news report. There is light in the church. The darkness that you are hearing about is in the world. Cease teasing with this tormentor, or he will break down your love and confidence in me. You say, "How have you teased with the tormentor?"

394. I say, "Why listen to a monster that is on a leash?"

Terrorists are really cowards hiding behind a corrupt view of me. You should reject the extreme degrees of fear fostered by them, for I have given you peace in me. The peace of God rules in my kingdom. You are in a kingdom that is ever increasing. It has no ending, for I am eternal. Look unto the glory of God, and behold my power and might. I am supreme and cannot be defeated. Look unto me, the author and finisher of your faith. I started a good work in you, and I will finish it. I have granted you peace. I am peace. You are one with me.

395. Have I given you less than what I am?
