Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

The royalty and majesty of an eagle is not full of glory when it lowers itself to stand and walk in the low places of the environment. You were not chosen to stand on the straw and brush of carnality, but you were chosen to soar in heavenly places in Christ. The enemy will corner you if you walk after the flesh and not after the spirit. Though the enemy gives tactics that are wise in the eyes of man, these tactics and their results can be defeated by man. Choose spiritual tactics and spiritual weapons rather than carnal methods of living. Beware of the strategies of the enemy. He will accuse and draw you into the line of his fire as you seek to justify yourself. Fight not the enemy's accusations with your own words, neither with a compromise of the spiritual principles given you. Fight the enemy's accusation with a silent heart and a silent tongue. Remember, I am your defense and your avenger. Trust and then you will not be ensnared in these subtle devices of the devil.

Eat from the Master's Table, and Feed the Lord's Lambs With the Living Bread

I have brought you to the forefront of a battle for the souls of this area. I am seeking to save those who are lost. Labor with me as I add to my body daily such as should be saved. I have not called you to wander aimlessly. You know my purpose. I have not changed. I am the same yesterday, today, and forever. Lean not to your own understanding, for that is fruitless. I have made you to lie down in a green pasture. This desert is blossoming as a rose. I have supplied fresh water and living bread in a dry place. Go and preach the gospel. The spirit of the gospel is drawing many souls to my name. The diet of the King is prepared for them. Now go, and bring them to my hand.

You have wasted much valuable time, and you have allowed yourself to be hindered by men. Do not entangle yourself with their yokes again. I have made you free. Go call sinners to repentance. I have not come to call the righteous to repentance. They that are whole do not need a physician, but those who are sick need the Great Physician. I send you among wolves; therefore, be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. When you go, do not sound a trumpet, but go in humility and quietness. Go to the sick, the diseased, the dead, the demon possessed, and the blind. I will heal them. Do not worry about your needs. I will supply all your needs according to my riches in glory. In glory, there are no insufficiencies, neither are there any insufficiencies in my kingdom.

I have bruised Satan under your feet; therefore, do not worry about devils, principalities, and powers. Your mouth is filled with my word. Go in the attitude of a child, and your head will not fill the platters of your enemies. Be not desirous of vain glory. Some are planting, some are watering, but I give the increase. The will of the Lord is being done in your life. Do not be a fool, but be wise, redeeming the time because the days are evil.

I have given you much. There is an abundance of my word hidden in your heart. You will not sin against me, for my word is hidden in you to prevent you from the sins that snare many. The testament of the Lord is in your heart. The spirit of wisdom and of revelation is working in you. Follow the divine direction of the Spirit. Grace has touched you. Allow your speech to always be with grace, seasoned with salt, and you will know how to answer every man. Grace has empowered you with ability, power, and sufficiency to accomplish the mission authorized by me. By grace, you are saved through faith and that not of yourself. The gift of God is working exceedingly great. There is no reason for boasting; therefore, humble yourself under my mighty hand. I will exalt you in due time. I have sent you with the bread of the children. Eat the bread from the Master's table, and feed my sheep the bread of life.

RE: - RHEMA - Eat from the Master's Table, and Feed the Lord's Lambs With the Living Bread

We are instructed to not labor for meat which perishes but for that which endureth unto everlasting life. God has always prepared a feast table for Israel and the church. His table is spread with all the pleasant fruits of the Spirit and the living bread that has the fragrance of the supernatural exuding from it. Our enemy has a table that has plastic and synthetic provision that seems good for a while, but it turns into bitterness within us. Our invitation is to come and dine. Would he give an invitation and not have wonderful and delightful things prepared?

God has spread out a feast of his spiritual words that extends into eternity both past and present. Many have only come to get a bite here and there. He wants us to sit down and consume his powerful words, and allow them to consume us! As the rain comes on the earth, so shall the Word of the Lord come, and bring forth the rose and the lily. It shall bring forth and abundant harvest, and we will eat of the bread of the fruits of the abundant harvest of his Rhema Word. It brings a harvest where there is none sown. As the rod bore almonds before the arc, so will the barren land and harvest of the lost come to the barns by the spoken words of the Lord. We may be surrounded by the enemy, but the Lord will surround us with his blessings and host that are more numerous than all our problems. We will sit down in peace and not in fear. We will partake and give thanks for the provision than cannot be provided from any earthly source. Our enemy will be as the begging dog that whimpers on the outside of our life, because he has had nothing to devour. Our God will seat us in the seats of grace before his presence. Every atmosphere of doubt and pain will be swept away by the wonderful aroma of the fresh bread of promises that fill the room almost like perfume. We will eat, and be satisfied and have no desire to seek other tables but the Table of the Lord. We will not only partake of the blessings of his provision but gather from the streets of the needy and hurting all that are hungry for a word from the Lord.

Jesus has bruised Satan under my feet; therefore, I do not worry about devils, principalities, and powers. My mouth is filled with God's word. I will go in the attitude of a child, and my head will not fill the platters of my enemies. I am not desirous of vain glory. Some are planting, some are watering, but God gives the increase.

INSPIRATION

By Don Grigsby

RE: RHEMA - March To the Rhythm of God's Love and To the Tune of Spiritual Taps

Our God is a responsible Father. He knows that we did not choose to be born on the same block where the Devil is running loose. So in this compassion, he has provided grace that has made a way out of every incursion of sin into our lives. He has commended his love toward us while we are yet held in the clutches of lust and error. When God looks at us and deals with us, he is dealing with himself. He foresaw the failure we would become but prepared a way for his glory to cover our shame. He intends to present this flawed and failing flesh spotless and blameless before the presence of his glory. Our redeemer has not called us to a death march but a victory march.

Not long ago the Lord gave us this word.

Judgment has lost all the files of your case. They have been cleaned out by the power of my blood. All your mistakes are gone forever. All the gravediggers of condemnation have lost their shovels that they would dig your grave and bury you with. I have covered you with the garments of my grace. You do not appear in the clothing of the condemned but of the justified. Do not fear something that will come upon you unaware. I have silenced every tongue that would rise against you and locked up all that would pursue you.

Our sins have been blotted out by the blood of Jesus in the waters of baptism. God is leading us past all the death and fear that would try to encircle us into the safety of the secret of his presence.

(Continued)

I have taken care of today and tomorrow. I am the beginning and the ending.

32. In your beginning, were you destroyed?

33. In your ending, will you be destroyed?

People should cringe at the thought that an angel of light could be working in them and not know it. There are deceitful workers among you who have been transformed into the ministers of Christ. Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light; therefore, it is no great thing that his ministers also are transformed as the ministers of righteousness. Their end shall be according to their works. Peter received the revelation of who I am. A few moments later he was deceived, and another spirit spoke through him. I rebuked him. There are some among you who are in line to be rebuked, for they are allowing another spirit to speak through them. I am the same always.

34. Are you the same?

35. Could you minister to my body in the same spirit that you display at home?

36. Could you minister to my body in the same spirit that you display in secret?

37. Are you deceived?

38. Do you have another Jesus?
