Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

There is pleasure in sin, yet only for a season. Remember your pleasures while you sinned, and learn that all the pleasures enjoyed in the bread and wine of sin are not worth the judgment and cost of these sins. Where are the pleasures now? Where are the remembrances of their gratifying feelings? Behold a better way, the way of the cross where emotions are crucified with me. Come to the cross, and live with a cross borne upon you then will you enjoy the victory of discipleship.

(RHEMA: Behold a Better Way, the Way of the Cross, Where Emotions Are Crucified With Jesus

There is pleasure in sin, yet only for a season. I remember my pleasures while I sinned, and I learned that all the pleasures enjoyed in the bread and wine of sin are not worth the judgment and cost of these sins. The pleasures are gone now. The remembrances of their gratifying feelings are gone. I behold a better way, the way of the cross where emotions are crucified with Christ. I will go to the cross and live with a cross borne upon me then will I enjoy the victory of discipleship.

Revival On the Horizon

I have sent a revival of prayer into your midst. It has started with you. Now it will spread to other parts of the congregation. You had grown cold in prayer, but I have brought you back to a fervent, hot desire for communion with me. Grace has abounded toward you. You did not seek me. I sought you. I have poured fresh water upon you this morning, and you were revived. I will pour fresh water upon the people and breathe a fresh breath of love and power upon them. The events in the earth today should stir you and bring you to the hot shower of repentance. Drink the tea of gladness while you wait on me to respond to your prayer request. I have allowed all the things that are happening. These things shall revive interest in me. Prepare yourself for the wave of revival that shall sweep the earth. I am the chief executive, and I am reviving the Acts of the Apostles. Do you want to be a part?

Throw down your traditions, for by tradition, you make my commandment of none effect. Do not hide behind your traditions any longer. Maximize your ministry, and encourage the people to sing new songs unto me as they minister to the people. They have things to teach by singing that are not taught in every day ministry. The new life that comes through new songs that are sung by the Spirit is powerful and mighty. Many will be brought back to life by these songs, for they are spiritual and full of life. A spirit of depression has attacked the congregation. I will bring them out from under the blanket of this spirit, and they shall return to activity and joy. I shall bring them back to a true spiritual consciousness, power, and existence. Many are like unconscious worshippers in a comatose state. Go and preach the resurrection to them, and watch them come again to a revived state and back to their first love. Many are resurrecting the wrong things. The things in the past should be left dead. Go on beyond these graveyards of bitter experiences. Do not bring these experiences to life again. Forget them. They are in the past. Reach forth unto the things that are before. Why stumble over the past into your future?

Then leave these things behind you, and stumbling over them will cease. Set your eyes upon the horizon of love. On the horizon, there is a revival of love and power. It is in the distance. Behold it coming rapidly. Heaven has touched down to earth. Now allow my will to be done in you. Who are those silhouetted on the horizon?

Who are those profiled on the horizon?

Lift your hands and your heart to me, and I will transport you there.

RE: RHEMA - Revival On the Horizon

Doom and gloom will leave you as a bone dry. Many boldly declare the destruction that is coming in graphic detail. Jeremiah declared the judgment that was at the gate of Jerusalem, but he also indicated that all the good things that God promised would come to pass just as vividly. We know that the world will be judged for its sins and rejection of the Word of God. We are also told that the last parable of the kingdom is one of a net so full of fish that the angels will have to separate them. God has begun to pour his Spirit out on all flesh. I saw last year in the prison over 375 receive the Holy Ghost. Over 200 have received the Holy Ghost this year. We are baptizing people on death row! God is truly doing the work that he has promised. Those who shout in our ear that the day of revival is over have been buried in their negative gainsaying a long time ago and do not even have a tomb stone. God is illuminating the horizon with the light of the evening time of revelation. Everyone is seeking a word from the Lord. In the midst of the famine for the hearing of the word, has been created a vacuum pull for the hearing of it.

God spoke to us and said,

I will take away the veils of darkness. I will remove the voices that stand and say there is no rain on the horizon. I will hasten my word to perform it. See the budding Almond rod with almonds on it. I will give you the instant harvest of revival as you lift the rod of your promise before me.

DEPRESSION

The Lord has sent a revival of prayer into my midst. It has started with me. Now it will spread to other parts of the congregation. I had grown cold in prayer, but he has brought me back to a fervent, hot desire for communion with him. Grace has abounded toward me. I did not seek him. He sought me. He has poured fresh water upon me this morning, and I was revived. He will pour fresh water upon the people and breathe a fresh breath of love and power upon them. The events in the earth today should stir me and bring me to the hot shower of repentance. I will drink the tea of gladness while I wait on him to respond to my prayer request. He has allowed all the things that are happening. These things shall revive interest in him. I prepare myself for the wave of revival that shall sweep the earth. He is the chief executive, and he is reviving the Acts of the Apostles. I definitely want to be a part.

I throw down my traditions, for by tradition, I make his commandment of none effect. I will not hide behind my traditions any longer. I maximize my ministry and encourage the people to sing new songs unto God as they minister to the people. They have things to teach by singing that are not taught in every day ministry. The new life that comes through new songs that are sung by the Spirit is powerful and mighty. Many will be brought back to life by these songs, for they are spiritual and full of life.

A spirit of depression has attacked the congregation. Jesus will bring them out from under the blanket of this spirit, and they shall return to activity and joy. He shall bring them back to a true spiritual consciousness, power, and existence. Many are like unconscious worshippers in a comatose state. I will go and preach the resurrection to them and watch them come again to a revived state and back to their first love. Many are resurrecting the wrong things. The things in the past should be left dead. I purpose to go on beyond these graveyards of bitter experiences. I will not bring these experiences to life again. I choose to forget them. They are in the past. I reach forth unto the things that are before. There is no reason why I should stumble over the past into my future; therefore, I leave these things behind me, and stumbling over them will cease. I set my eyes upon the horizon of love. On the horizon, there is a revival of love and power. It is in the distance. I behold it coming rapidly. Heaven has touched down to earth. Now I allow God's will to be done in me. Those lost and dying are silhouetted on the horizon. Those hungry and thirsty for righteousness are those profiled on the horizon. I lift my hands and my heart to Jesus, and he will transport me there.

INSPIRATION

By Don Grigsby

RE: RHEMA - A Renewed Love Is Given, and Now Faith Is Worked by a Restored Force

God abideth faithful. If some deny him, he cannot deny himself. In doing this, he will never unlove or unlamb himself. He will never say that Calvary was not what he should have done. Faith worketh by love, so intensified relationships puts faith on a fast track in our lives. Our adversary is so subtle that many allow him to pervert our faith by allowing improper attitudes to get us all bent out of shape about trivial things. Many cannot believe God because there are hidden, lingering sicknesses or injuries that are internal that have never been healed. Anger and unforgiving spirits have carved out festering wounds and holes in their spirits that cannot retain the blessing of God until they reach the parking lot. A new day of healing, with pastors after his heart, to heal and deliver from these spiritual syndromes unto complete victorious faith has come.

(Continued)

If you continue to squeeze regret's arms as a lover in the time of misunderstanding, then regret will squeeze the desire to live from your bosom. Come to the arms of eternal love, and allow the embrace of holiness to blow the fresh breath of life within you.

462. I have allowed you to keep the spirit that I gave to you then why choose to allow your soul to live in misery?

Truth paints a picture that brings pain and exposure to that which is wicked. Ask truth not to lie for you, for it does not know how to lie. It can only tell the truth that it is. This is truth's picture of your life. Now allow me to change this reality by the transformation of my righteousness upon this ugly scene. Look at this ugly scene again.

463. Do you like what you see?

464. Are the pleasures you remember worth this scene filled with the death of efforts, dreams, and visions?

The world will live in fear, but my love is casting out the fear that has entered the lives of those who really believe. The spirits that have orchestrated these war tactics of fear have no authority to enforce their strategies. Come again to the cross, and behold my sentence upon them and then will you behold your freedom. I have made you free by the truth. Now rise up, and preach the gospel. Rise up, and preach Jesus. I have revealed to you the power of Paul's message. Now go to the written word, and trace his message throughout the Bible.

465. Have you read of his beginning and his ending?
