Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

A crimson stream of blood paves an access to my throne for you. Enter into the joy of life by precious blood. Lift up your voice in triumphant praise in my presence. Fullness of joy awaits you on my right hand where pleasures are kept. The right hand of my presence brings to you comfort and blessed assurance. Spiritual beasts do not chase you today. The safety of my hand is a powerful refuge for your soul. My hand is a green pasture with living water. The guilty stains of sin are cleansed, and the echoes of the voices of worry are silenced. A space for rest is provided for you. Come and lie down in my hand. I have embraced you with the security of love. In the quietness of the morning, grace has filled you with desire to be here. Allow the throne of grace to serve as a resting place, and fall upon the foundations of mercy.

(RHEMA: The Echoes of the Voices of Worry Are Silenced by the Blood of Jesus)

A crimson stream of blood paves an access to the Lord's throne for me. I have entered into the joy of life by precious blood. I lift up my voice in triumphant praise in his presence. Fullness of joy awaits me on his right hand where pleasures are kept. The right hand of his presence brings to me comfort and blessed assurance. Spiritual beasts do not chase me today. The safety of his hand is a powerful refuge for my soul. His hand is a green pasture with living water. The guilty stains of sin are cleansed, and the echoes of the voices of worry are silenced. A space for rest is provided for me. I have come and lay down in his hand. He has embraced me with the security of love. In the quietness of the morning, grace has filled me with desire to be here. I have allowed the throne of grace to serve as a resting place, and I have fallen upon the foundations of mercy.

Instructions In Living

(Part One)

How are the mighty fallen?

When you think that you stand, take heed lest you fall. There is no temptation that you have encountered but such as is common to man. I am faithful and will not allow you to be tempted above that which you are able but will, with the temptation, also make a way of escape so that you may be able to bear it.

I have given you a ministry. Now take heed to it and fulfill it. Do not go to war against your brethren. If you do, you will be consumed one of another. There are many that are at war against each other now. Leave them alone. If the blind lead the blind, they will both fall in the ditch.

Take heed unto yourself and unto the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this, you will both save yourself and them that hear you. Purge your heart of all unbelief lest there be in you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from me, the Living God. By the spirit of prophecy, exhort the others, and remove the deceitfulness of sin from their midst. Many have become hardened because of the lack of a prophetic ministry of exhortation. Prophecy comes today, not by the will of man but by holy men of God, speaking as they are moved by the Holy Ghost.

Take heed that no man deceives you; therefore, watch what you hear, for faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. The entrance of my word gives you light. Darkness cannot dwell in you if my word resides in you. Take heed that the light, which is in you, be not darkness. If your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, then the whole will be full of light. Go and shine. The light is in you.

I will not allow your enemies to triumph over you. Be not insulted by the enemy. The sorrow that he has sought to place on you is a distraction and diversion from victory. I have already triumphed over your foes. All obstacles will be overcome by you by faith. Be glad as you worship me in spirit and in truth. Your jubilation is found wanting. Rise up, and declare your triumph over the things that have resisted you. Grace is a triumphal sound to your ears. It has been given to you as an ornament of victory. Who can defeat grace?

Many epigrams have been given you. Search the fresh words that have been given you. They are words to live by. The life that is in the epigrams is concise, full of energy, and power. Offer praise today and forevermore. Commend your God. I have put a new song into your mouth even praise unto me. Rise up, and express your gratitude, for I am your praise and your God. Applaud me, and express my worth in the midst of the congregation. Continue to extol in songs, music, and words. I am magnified and glorified on account of your praises. Strive for perfection and excellence in praise. Praise me in excess. You cannot go beyond what is merited. Pay me the highest compliment in your services and in your everyday life. Clap your hands, and praise me with every significant sign available. The power of God will come down when you applaud me. Make the people aware of real praise. It is the doorway. As they enter into my presence, teach them to pay the highest reverence and honor to me. It is an act of faith, in which they address me as God. I will receive their address. Go and instruct the people in worship.

RE: RHEMA - Instructions In Living (Part One)

Distraction is the art form of the Devil. If we can be sidetracked from the focus of our worship, we will daily get caught on a detour that is full of the robbers of our joy. If the enemy can steal our worship or eviscerate it so that it is without our complete fervent love, then he will thwart our blessing to a limited amount. Unlimited blessing flows all around those who are oblivious to the circumstances of daily living. Many are engaged in the battle of ideas and the competition of pride that causes us to devour one another. We are not in this battle because we know that the battle is the Lord's. We look into heaven and see wars going on in the earth. What is heaven doing?

They are engaged in nonstop intense worship. His will should be done in our earthly tabernacle as it is in heaven. God's Rhema word has designed and created a hall of celebration. We need to be dancing with the Creator with his voice and song in our ear. We need to refuse to hear the false instruction of this age. We will not bow down to their images. Their threats, like a furnace, may try to intimidate us, but we will praise God constantly in the atmosphere of undisturbed love. Our praise is creative. We will not die and be buried by any circumstance of religion or ritual as we never cease to ardently praise the Lord.

IDOLATRY AND IGNORANCE

The mighty have fallen because they did not take heed when they stood; therefore, when I think that I stand, I take heed lest I fall. There is no temptation that I have encountered but such as is common to man. God is faithful and will not allow me to be tempted above that which I am able but will, with the temptation, also make a way of escape so that I may be able to bear it. He has given me a ministry. Now I take heed to it and fulfill it. I elect not to go to war against my brethren. If I do, we will be consumed one of another. There are many that are at war against each other now. I leave them alone. If the blind lead the blind, they will both fall in the ditch.

I take heed unto myself and unto the doctrine. I continue in it, for in doing this, I will both save myself and them that hear me. I will purge my heart of all unbelief lest there be in me an evil heart of unbelief in departing from him, the Living God. By the spirit of prophecy, I exhort the others and remove the deceitfulness of sin from their midst. Many have become hardened because of the lack of a prophetic ministry of exhortation. Prophecy comes today, not by the will of man but by holy men of God, speaking as they are moved by the Holy Ghost.

I take heed that no man deceives me; therefore, I determine to watch what I hear, for faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. The entrance of God's word gives me light. Darkness cannot dwell in me if his word resides in me. I take heed that the light, which is in me, be not darkness. If my whole body is full of light, having no part dark, then the whole will be full of light. I will go and shine. The light is in me.

God will not allow my enemies to triumph over me. I am not insulted by the enemy. The sorrow that he has sought to place on me is a distraction and diversion from victory. Jesus has already triumphed over my foes. All obstacles will be overcome by me by faith. I am glad as I worship God in spirit and in truth. My jubilation is found wanting. I rise up and declare my triumph over the things that have resisted me. Grace is a triumphal sound to my ears. It has been given to me as an ornament of victory. No one can defeat grace.

Many epigrams have been given to me. I will search the fresh words that have been given to me. They are words to live by. The life that is in the epigrams is concise, full of energy, and power. I offer praise today and forevermore. I commend my God. He has put a new song into my mouth even praise to himself. I rise up and express my gratitude, for Jesus is my praise and my God. I applaud him and express his worth in the midst of the congregation. I will continue to extol in songs, music, and words. God is magnified and glorified on account of my praises. I strive for perfection and excellence in praise. I purpose to praise God in excess. I cannot go beyond what is merited. I will pay him the highest compliment in my services and in my everyday life. I clap my hands and praise him with every significant sign available. The power of God will come down when I applaud him. I will make the people aware of real praise. It is the doorway. As they enter into his presence, I will teach them to pay the highest reverence and honor to God. It is an act of faith, in which they address Jesus as God. He will receive their address. I will go and instruct the people in worship.

RHEMA

RE: RHEMA - A Work of God In Response To Rejection

Every lying spirit in the beginning lined up in mass and hurled the insult toward God, "It will never be!" God said let there be and there was. Nobody could have seen Genesis 1:31 "Everything that he had made was very good."...in Genesis 1:2 "...without form and void...." God saw it before, and he still sees all the created visible things coming forth from the invisible. The spirit of a liar opens up for every other unclean spirit to come and inhabit the vessel it lives in or around. Pride, anger, self justification, depression, and any number of destroying spirits would like to overrun the church. As overseers we must never allow those to hang around but send them back to the pit from which they came. Mighty works of God stand on our horizon, and the ingathering of the harvest of souls beckons us with open arms. We must never allow an intruder to abort the work God has destined to happen.

(Continued)

Show that you agree with me by the confession of your mouth. With your heart, you believe unto righteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation. Be not corrupted from the simplicity of this truth. Allow this truth to work in you, and behold the activity of salvation. The doings of salvation have been halted in you because you have not activated it in you.

411. Do you believe?

Teach them to use the principle of confession. The secret to real faith is revealed to you. Now go, and apply what you have learned. Go and teach what you have learned. Behold the truth working in your midst. The righteousness, which is of faith, speaks. It says that the word is nigh you even in your mouth and in your heart, that is, the word of faith, which is preached. You must confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, for with your heart, you believe unto righteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation. No one who believes on me shall be made ashamed. I am Lord over all, and I am rich unto all that call upon me, for whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord, shall be saved.

412. How shall they hear without a preacher?

413. How shall they preach except I send them?

The night is far spent, and the days are more evil than ever before. Walk while the light is with you lest darkness overtakes you as a thief. Walk in the light, as I am in the light. Walk in wisdom. Walk in love. Walk in harmony. Walk in praise. Walk in the unity of the faith of Jesus Christ and have no part with the unfruitful things of the darkness. Fellowship with the darkness will not generate the fruit of the Spirit. I have called you to be fruitful. Lean on me and not on your own understanding and then will you bear fruit unto faith and godliness.

414. Have I brought you to the table of plenty to starve?

415. Have I brought you to the table of the Lord and denied you the bread of victory and the wine of success?

416. Have I brought you to the throne room to show you the scepter of rejection?
