Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

I am granting you joy, unspeakable joy, in the midst of the storm of confusion. I am not the author of confusion. I am not the author of strife. I am not the author of misunderstanding. I am the author of peace; therefore, embrace the Prince of peace within your life. I am the peace-bringer. I am the prosperity-bringer. I shall show forth my love in dimensions that you have not imagined. I shall show forth the glory of the revelation of myself, and the fire of the revelation shall bruise the head of trouble and conspiracy. I have already made a way through the deserts of your life. I have already made a way through the low places in your deserts of life. I have provided a table here. This table is filled with fresh bread, meat, water, and wine. This is your table of victory. Now prepare to eat from Victory's table. In my name, you have this victory.

(Rhema: The Fire of Revelation Bruises the Head of Trouble and Conspiracy)

The Lord is granting me joy, unspeakable joy, in the midst of the storm of confusion. He is not the author of confusion. He is not the author of strife. He is not the author of misunderstanding. He is the author of peace; therefore, I embrace the Prince of peace within my life. Jesus is the peace-bringer. He is the prosperity-bringer. He shall show forth his love in dimensions that I have not imagined. He shall show forth the glory of the revelation of himself, and the fire of the revelation shall bruise the head of trouble and conspiracy. The Lord has already made a way through the deserts of my life. He has already made a way through the low places in my deserts of life. He has provided a table here. This table is filled with fresh bread, meat, water, and wine. This is my table of victory. Now I prepare to eat from Victory's table. In Jesus' name, I have this victory.

A New Pasture In a New Valley After the Storm Ceases

I have kept you as the apple of my eye. I found you in a desert place and in the waste wilderness of this world. I have given you instruction in your night season. As an eagle stirs up her nest, flutters over her young, spreads abroad her wings, takes her young, and bears them on her wings, I have lead you in the past. I will continue to lead you. I have flown into your life forever. I did not visit you. I came to live inside of you. As I spread my wings, ride out of this present trouble on my wings. My wings are great and long winged. They are full of feathers. I am the everlasting God, the Lord, and the Creator of the ends of the earth. I do not faint, neither do I grow weary. There is no searching of my understanding. I give power to the faint and to them that have no might; I increase their strength. Wait on me. I shall renew your strength. You shall mount up with wings as an eagle. You shall run and not be weary. You shall walk and not faint. I have brought you unto myself. I have given you grace so that you may obey my voice and keep my covenant. Now you are a peculiar treasure unto me. You are a priest unto me and a part of a holy nation. By my power, you are stronger than a lion and swifter than an eagle. Exercise the power given unto you.

I have given you precious promises. I placed a rainbow in the sky as a reminder to my people that I would never destroy the earth again by water. The light that I have given you will not fade. The manifold light that I have given is supplying all that you need right now. The raging waters shall not destroy you. You shall not drown in the waters that seem to have swept you away. You shall not fall to the rocks below. Though the waters seem to carry you high into the mountains of trouble, you will not be abandoned there. Though the waters carry you low into the ravine of the valley below, you will not be deserted there. Though the rains beat down upon you with an unrelenting force, I have supplied you shelter from them. I have placed the wall of my power in front of these waters. Now will they be halted and cease to rage.

Look upon the horizon, and see that the sun rises in the distance. The storm is passing, and the sun is going to shine on you again. You have felt like you were all alone. Not many understood what you were going through. With the sunlight in the distance, there come many friends, brethren, and sisters to lift up your heavy hands and feeble knees. Weeping has endured for the night, but joy comes with the sunshine. You will know that the ministry, which is given to you, is appreciated by many. I have many people in the world whose ears are opened to hear my voice. I have many sheep that hear my voice. The prophetic word, the therapeutic word will continue to speak through you even in a greater measure.

I have given you grace to endure unto the end. You will not let go of your faith, for love will not depart from you. Love and faith are one. Love works faith. The trouble will not last always. The sunshine brings a new joy to your soul. You have wept in secret, but now I will turn your weeping into laughing. The dark veil of fog that has been before you has been moved. There comes the sun of my love to warm your heart and your spirit. At the end of this storm, there lies a valley of green pasture. You will lie down there in peace and tranquility. Rest, the storm is over. Drink of the fresh waters in the new valley of blessings. Milk and honey wait on you to taste.

RE: RHEMA - A New Pasture In a New Valley After the Storm Ceases

He who carved out the rivers and raised up the mountains has made a place of pasture in valleys of pristine life for his sheep. Every storm has an antitheses. Every problem has its parable of power that is written in the earth. Finite difficulties are soon erased from the sand they are written in. Eternal power is written on the wind and the light of the morning. Declarations of peace are whispered in the early light of the dawn. Meditations of the Almighty are magnified in the prism of spectral grace that pulls the shades on a new day. As we are in the middle of the valley of life we are on the stage where all things are made new. We wait and renew our strength as we take the wings of grace and fly into the winds of the heavens. Grace will cover the storm with the curtains of the darkness. As we rest in the promises that have never failed, the storm will pass quickly by in the silence of the peaceful sleep of his provision. Storms are not the excess of danger poured out all at once but the outpouring of deliverance that is opening the doors of a pasture of a new creation in our lives. Covenants of promise prevent the passing over the commandments to the starry systems above. In the earth beneath, there are laws of commandments that evil cannot pass over to harm us. Storms may appear to hurl us into its bay's of oblivion, but God will bring us into our desired haven and safe pasture.

God has kept me as the apple of his eye. He found me in a desert place and in the waste wilderness of this world. He has given me instruction in my night season.

INSPIRATION

By Don Grigsby

RE: RHEMA - The Promises of God Are Sure

Immutable and unequivocal is the One who, with the minutest detail, arrayed us in tailor-made fulfillment of his promises. Consuming fires await the ascending incense of our praise as it in turn regenerates it as high impact results in the earth. Earthquakes of natural origin may have made room for seas and oceans as the Lord shook out creation like a wrinkled folded garment with the words of his mouth. Now he proceeds to reveal the raw intent of his intense purpose to bless us through the most unexpected means. Nothing too high or too deep escapes his reach. His love and compassion reaches to give abundantly to us so that we have not enough room to receive it. All those who have played the harlot and the whoremonger have given themselves to the wholesale ruin of this unbelieving generation. They will never have inheritance with the righteous seed. We will follow after precious harvest of promises that are ripe in the fields of truth.

Through ignorance, the enemy has seduced my people and influenced them to make negative confessions. Go and remove this ignorance from your midst. I am the mighty God in them, but they speak as though I was not among them or in them. They bring shame to my name as they belittle my presence and my power in my body. I am greater than the one in the world, yet they act as though they are without me when they are placed on trial. It is in the fiery trial that I should shine brighter than the noonday sun. I am the Sun of Righteousness.

1. Will you allow the shade of trouble to cover your mouth and prevent you from making a good profession?

The darkness that trouble has covered the earth with does not affect my ability to shine. I am the Light of the world.

2. Who or what shall prevent me from shining?

Arise and pray for your enemies and your friends then will I turn your captivity. Pray for them, and I will open the windows of heaven and pour you out blessings untold. Go to the sanctuary, and eat the manna from heaven with gladness and faith. I have given you manna in a time of a famine of the hearing of the words of God. Many people have the word of God, but not very many are hearing the words of God fresh from my mouth. Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. The spirit gives life, but the letter kills.

3. Why would men rise up to kill you if they had words from my mouth that gives life?

They rose up to slay your name because they had the letter, which kills. Pray for them that their eyes would see, their ears would be opened, and their hearts would no longer be hardened. The spirit of slumber has been given to them. They are sleepwalkers who kill in their slumber. They are drunk, and their minds and hearts are darkened. Their table has been made a snare, a trap, a stumbling block, and recompense unto them. I have darkened their eyes so that they cannot see. Be not wise in your own conceit, but be humbled that I have opened your ears and eyes and given you a heart that is not waxed gross. I took away your sins. Look to the depths of the riches of my wisdom and knowledge. My judgments are unsearchable, and my ways are past finding out.

4. Who has known my mind?

5. Who have I counseled with?
