Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

It would be better to lose the functions of your right hand than to forget me and my grace. It would be better to be an invalid whose awareness is just as real as yours, yet not able to function with normal mobility than to forget me and my mercy. Behold the invalids of the hour, and reflect upon their agony. Behold those with strokes, and reflect upon their torment. They are tormented day and night as they hear every sound, yet cannot communicate or activate their desires and wills. Count all your pains joy, and rejoice in your salvation, for the Lord, your God, has blessed you with abundance of grace and goodness. Come and praise me with your whole heart before the gods of the world as they seek your praise and adoration. Worship in the body of Christ, and praise the name of God for his lovingkindness and his truth. I have magnified my word above my name. In the day that you cried unto me, I answered you and strengthened you with strength in your soul. Every tongue shall swear, and every knee shall bow unto me. All the kings of the earth shall praise me; therefore, let those who gather around to take you captive hear the words of your mouth in praise. Sing in the ways of the Lord, for great is the glory of the Lord. I am high and mighty, yet I have respect unto the lowly. It is the proud that must know from afar off. Humble yourselves unto me, and when you walk in the midst of trouble, I will revive you.

Miracles Blossoming In Hopeless Situations

I have made you as a palm tree. In this season of drought, I have fertilized you with grace. You shall flourish and grow in grace and in good works. You are in a prosperous state. You shall spread out, and enlarge your coast. I have ordained that you shall become more eloquent in presenting me, and I will parade the words of grace as never before. My word shall adorn your life and decorate the atmospheres that you dwell in. It shall abound with goodness and liberty for all who hear it. The beauty of my word shall go forth as the splendor of a mighty tree. It shall flourish in wisdom and understanding. The spirit of wisdom and understanding shall leap within you and produce new arenas of liberty and miracles. Behold the miracles blossoming on the trees of impossibilities. In the Spirit, the flowers of miracles are blooming even their shrubs are cultivated for ornaments of victory.

I have given you spiritual eyes so that you may see the beauty of these flowers before they appear. By faith, you shall behold the flower of miracles as they expand their buds. Miracles are blooming. They are shooting forth from impossibilities. Though impossibility holds forth an ugly presentation, grace stretches forth the beauty of a finished product, crowned with the affection of love. Grace has adorned itself with the shoot of a miracle. Though it is a winter presentation, you will behold it unfold in summer. The covering of impossibility is merely protecting it from the cold weather and the external enemies that seek to injure your miracle. Do not remove your spiritual eyes from the flower and the leaves contained in the bud. The bud of your miracle may be ugly, but remember, it shall blossom into a thing of beauty. The germinating power of grace will not fail. It shall be what I have sent it forth to be. The enemy meant it for an obnoxious experience, but I meant it as an experience that will benefit you and all that will hear you.

I have turned the expectations of the devil into a flower of love. Dry your tears, and adorn yourself with gladness. You have anticipated a miracle. It is growing. Do not attempt to open the petals of your miracle before time. Simply allow it to unfold into the beautiful flower it is destined to become. The flower of love is the best part of my revelation. This miracle that I am working for you shall be very valuable to your faith. Your faith shall become more vigorous and powerful as a result of this experience; therefore, despise not the agitating voices sent forth from impossibility. I shall place my hand over the mouth of these voices, and grace shall speak loud and clear. While you wait, adorn your miracle with the fresh aroma of praise. Cast aside the odious smell of doubt and unbelief. Unbelief and doubt has sought to fill you with the fermented drink of death. Throw it down, and wait on me. I have strengthened your heart. I aborted sickness and death at Calvary. It was unwanted and unproductive then. It is discarded and sterile now. Rejoice. There are miracles blossoming in hopeless situations.

RE: RHEMA - Miracles Blossoming In Hopeless Situations

Candlesticks of faith are fitted with the bowls like almonds. In the tabernacle, the almond shaped bowls that emitted light were the shadow of the great revelation that was to come in the vision of the prophets of the New Testament. As Solomon took items from the tabernacle and brought them into the larger dimensions of the temple, so does God multiply the greatness of our understanding. Instead of one candlestick, as was in the tabernacle, there were ten in the temple. They were all across the front before the oracle. We then have wall to wall light just before the oracle of his word. If the dead almond branch blossomed before the arc of the testimony, dead, forgotten promises will come to pass before the Rhema word of God. We are the planting of the Lord. If we are in the wilderness or the swamp, the Lord has designed us with the DNA that will cause the blossom of the harvest to flourish in our lives. Our lives are as the trees of righteousness. Limbs of faith will bear the fruit of sweet victory. Its leaves will be the healing medicine of the soul. Its intake of the toxic air around it will be replaced by the oxygen of grace. While our miracles are blooming, the enemy would like to sow a planting of deception. God will spray it with a pre-emergent spiritual weed killer that will not allow it to effect the blessing of God in our lives.

RE: RHEMA - The Promises and Blessings of God Are Not Diminished by the Thoughts and Actions of Men

Cold, hard logic is the graveyard for inspiration and any thought of the blessings of God that every spirit of man or the enemy has amassed themselves at the borders of our spiritual existence, but God has already sent his hosts of good news to scatter them upon the mountains of highest praise and their own destruction. We will go forth with the mind of God, and they will flee seven ways before the breath of his promise. Calvary did not pay the price it did for us to be defrauded by anyone. Truth has already stood before the seat of judgment for us, and the enemy has no jurisdiction in our case. Heaven has ruled that it is done!

(Continued)

An enemy sent the trouble that has come your way. Many are in an uproar because of the trouble that has come their way. Their pride will put them to shame, and dishonor shall be their reward. He that believes on me shall not be ashamed.

406. How can you say that you believe on me and do not believe on those who I have sent?

Your entire house shall be in confusion if you listen to the voice of wrath that speaks loudly in this hour. If you think you are great of yourself, then you walk after the spirit of error, and the spirit of truth is far from you. I seek the humble in heart and resist the proud. Choose not to dwell with those who are being brought low because of their pride, but choose to dwell with the lowly and humble of heart. Everyone that is proud and lofty, shall be brought low. Those who are high and lifted up shall be brought to naught. The fear of the Lord is to hate evil, pride, and arrogance. Abide by these admonitions, and you shall not be moved. Pride goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall.

407. Why choose to fight the leviathans of the spirit when you have no defense against them being proud in your heart?

I have said that, "You can do all things through Christ." Now go, and do what I have said is possible. I am working in you. Fear not. You cannot be stopped if you align your purpose with my purpose. I will succeed; therefore, be focused on my word. My word will not return to me empty. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my word will remain. I have given you an example. Follow my example. Do what you see me do and then will you succeed in every endeavor that is attempted. As many as are led by my spirit, they are the sons of God. So much of what my people attempt is what they think.

408. I have said, "Which of you by thought can add one cubit to your stature?"

409. Will you succeed going contrary to my word?

You must practice what I have said in my word. Unless you execute these things, they will not work for you. I am in you to perform what I show you in the spirit. I am the Father in you to do the work; therefore, release your faith, and allow me to work in you.

410. If disobedience is all that is required to allow a spirit to work in you, how much more shall obedience yield the Father working in you?
