Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

Sing of my righteousness, for I am gracious and full of compassion. I am slow to anger and of great mercy. I am good to all, and my tender mercies are over all my works. Look at my works, and behold how they praise me. Trust in me, and those who follow you shall speak of the glory of my kingdom and talk of my power. They will make known to the sons of men my mighty acts and the glorious majesty of my kingdom. My kingdom is an everlasting kingdom. How can you control an everlasting kingdom?

Do not disconnect yourself from the mind of Christ and connect to your own mind. You do not know where you are going, and you do not know what to do. Give your life back to me, and remove your hands from the controls. Be not another spiritual tragedy. Return unto total trust in me.

(RHEMA: Be Not a Spiritual Tragedy; Return Unto God)

I will sing of his righteousness, for he is gracious and full of compassion. He is slow to anger and of great mercy. He is good to all, and his tender mercies are over all his works. I look at his works and behold how they praise him. I settle to trust in him, and those who follow me shall speak of the glory of his kingdom and talk of his power. They will make known to the sons of men his mighty acts and the glorious majesty of his kingdom. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom. I cannot control an everlasting kingdom. I purpose not to disconnect myself from the mind of Christ and connect to my own mind. I do not know where I am going, and I do not know what to do. I give my life back to God, and I remove my hands from the controls. I conclude not to be another spiritual tragedy but return unto total trust in him.

A Diet of Life During a Time of Famine

You are hidden in me. The terror in the land cannot find you. I have secured you in the bosom of my love. The love that I manifested in saving you works constantly for you in all things. Open your eyes to the love of God today, and behold the magnificent demonstration of its power on your behalf. An innumerable entourage of angels has been sent into your presence to guarantee victory for you. My love holds fear far from you. I have given you my love and shed it abroad in your heart; therefore, fear not. He that fears is not made perfect in love. I am perfecting you in love. Continue ministering to the people about my love. They are growing in it. Exercise my patience in dealing with them, and always remember what you have received from me. Freely you have received, so freely give what you have received. You did not receive judgment. You received grace and mercy. Comfort the people with your speech, and allow it to be seasoned with salt. You will know how to answer every man if your speech is in grace and seasoned with the salty preservative that I have given.

Look out on the horizon, and behold the great multitude coming your way. They are coming for the bread of the morning and the water of the end time. A famine of the hearing of the words of God is already in the land. I have made you rich in the word of God. Now prepare to feed the multitude. They are hungry and thirsty. Their countenance is made heavy because of the weariness of their journey. I desire to give them a new countenance and strengthen them by my Spirit. Spread a table before them, and allow them to eat of the fresh bread that I have given you. They are hungering and thirsting for righteousness. The kingdom of heaven is reserved for them. They are poor in spirit. They are mourning; therefore, comfort them. Many are about to perish. I have stayed the hand of death and provided grace for their lives in the time of a spiritual food shortage. The diet of death is plentiful, but the diet of life is scarce. I am sending my people with an abundance of life for the children. The children's bread is given to you. Arise and serve the hungry. You will be blessed for your service.

RE: RHEMA - A Diet of Life During a Time of Famine

Love does not look for a way to ascend but a way to come down in the ditches of life to the brutalized of this hour. It is not so much the outward suffering as the inward bruises that people need to be healed and liberated from. We use the parable of the Samaritan in a before salvation setting. It is just as much for after salvation. The Holy Ghost doesn't just wholesale fix everything that is lacking in our lives. We are the Joseph's of this hour with the corn of healing and encouragement in the world that is in the worst famine of real experiences with God. Inside the church and outside the church is the hungry multitude that need more than natural bread. Bread that endures unto eternal life is the abiding relationship that is not developed overnight. We are the entrance into the chambers of plenty. Love that we articulate and example will deliver the people from the fears and doubts that haunt them as we guard their existence with compassion. Tables of bread will be placed before those who are afflicted with pain beyond words by the words of life that love has written in our hearts.

FAMINE

I am hidden in the Lord. The terror in the land cannot find me. He has secured me in the bosom of his love. The love that he manifested in saving me works constantly for me in all things. I open my eyes to the love of God today and behold the magnificent demonstration of its power on my behalf. An innumerable entourage of angels has been sent into my presence to guarantee victory for me. His love holds fear far from me. He has given me his love and shed it abroad in my heart; therefore, I do not fear. He that fears is not made perfect in love. Jesus is perfecting me in love. I purpose to continue ministering to the people about his love. They are growing in it. I exercise his patience in dealing with them, and I always remember what I have received from the Lord. Freely I have received, so freely I give what I have received. I did not receive judgment. I received grace and mercy. I will comfort the people with my speech and allow it to be seasoned with salt.

INSPIRATION

By Don Grigsby

RE: RHEMA - The Open Pathway Out of the Prison of Debt and Regret Is Paved With Blood

His sacrifice at the cross bought us more than freedom from sin. Savior in the Hebrew has as much to do with prosperity as it does with being saved from the penalty for sin. As he takes away sin, so does he our sickness and even our irresponsibility. I was praying, and the Lord spoke to me these words. All that I do and have done for you is established from eternity. It was given you without thought of your merit. It is a continual flow out of my nature. Will I change my nature now and cease to abundantly provide and have in place even the remedy for your mistakes? As I provided abundantly for those who had no bread, will I not give you your need and abundant baskets full, left over for another day? Rejoice in the blessing that is yours and that is coming. No intruder can stand in the door and turn it a way. I have commanded the blessing upon you, and none shall prevent it.

(Continued)

The enemy has devised tactics of war against my people to restrict the peace of the people. Go and declare that my peace is not incomplete, neither is it imperfect or inadequate. It is boundless. Consider my grace.

76. Where would you be without it?

These words came unto me,

77. How are the mighty fallen?

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.

78. Who can defeat grace?

Your adoration of me is weighed in the balance and found wanting. The first commandment is "Hear, O Israel: the Lord, our God, is one Lord and thou shalt love the Lord, thy God, with all thine heart, with all thy soul, and with all thy might."

79. Is this commandment in your heart?

80. How can you teach your children and the church this if you do not have it in your heart?
