Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

I am the Lord, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, their King, and your King. I have made a way in the sea and a path in the mighty waters, which brings forth the chariot and the horse, the army and the power, the rockets and the bombs. I shall cause all of the artillery of the enemy to fall down and not rise up against you. I shall make the enemy's power against you ineffective and quench his fire of wrath with the water of my word. Remember, I am the God of old. I will do for you what I did in former times. I do a new thing for you. It is springing forth now. You shall know it. It is making a way in this wilderness. It is making rivers in your desert of helplessness. There is no temptation that has taken you but such as is common to you. I am faithful and will not suffer you to be tempted above that you are able, but with the temptation also, I make a way for you to escape that you may be able to bear it; therefore, rejoice. A way is made for you.

Jesus is the Lord, my Holy One, the creator of Israel, their King, and my King. He has made a way in the sea and a path in the mighty waters, which brings forth the chariot and the horse, the army and the power, the rockets and the bombs. He shall cause all of the artillery of the enemy to fall down and not rise up against me. He shall make the enemy's power against me ineffective and quench his fire of wrath with the water of his word. I remember, he is the God of old. He will do for me what he did in former times. He does a new thing for me. It is springing forth now. I shall know it. It is making a way in this wilderness. It is making rivers in my desert of helplessness. There is no temptation that has taken me but such as is common to me. He is faithful and will not suffer me to be tempted above that I am able, but with the temptation also, he makes a way for me to escape that I may be able to bear it; therefore, I rejoice. A way is made for me.

The Handiwork of Righteousness

I have brought you life and immortality through my gospel. My death, my burial, and my resurrection have abolished all the pains of sin and its consequences from your record. You are a free man. I have not saved you from your sins to sentence you to damnation and defeat. The stench of your sins should have been enough to remind you of what could have been, but now in me, there is a fragrance of love and forgiveness that should cause you to anoint me with your praise forevermore. Praise the living God with all that is within you. If you live a life of regret and worry about the past, the present, or the future, what glory is that unto me?

I have come that you might have life. Is the life that I give a product of sin?

Then why has it produced unbelief in you?

Regret no longer your past mistakes and sins. I do not remember them any longer. You are forgiven. I came and swallowed up death in victory. The diet of your God included the menu of your sins and the sins of whole world. I have consumed all that would have caused you to be trapped in the belly of hell because of the judgment against your sins. I swallowed up all for you. Now rest in the power of the redemption that came to pass by the offering of myself for you. I was offered in your stead. Now worry no longer, for you are forgiven. My mercy came forth being authored by my love to take your place and usher you into this throne room. Now lift up your head to the one sitting on the throne of grace, and ask boldly for that which you need. You have come with a broken and contrite heart. I will not turn you away. The miracle that you need is not too hard for me. Is any thing too hard for me, the Lord?

Believe on me as the scriptures have declared of me, and see the mighty handiwork of righteousness. The handiwork of righteousness works in the earth as the heavens have declared the excellency of my handiwork. Look to the heavens, and see that my excellency is declared. Who can make a star?

Who can make a galaxy?

Who can make a planet?

I have proven myself by my mighty acts. Will you look back to the pit where there is no water or will you look up to the heavens and agree that the heavens declare my glory and the firmament, my handiwork?

I came this morning to show you of my handiwork in your life. Behold the mighty handiwork of salvation.

RE: RHEMA - The Handiwork of Righteousness

Hands of the eternal have held our horizons in history. His directive will rolls back the hosts of hate and will release the fashioners of beauty on the hills of destruction. Failure and defeat in our past become the pastures that are covered over with the grasses of grace and the flowers of a new creation. New days of fresh fragrance of growth will cancel out the smell of death and destruction. Sunsets of complete defeat are replaced by the dawn of the destiny of the glorious splendor of the spirit. What seemed empty is overflowing with what he clothes the righteous with in the woven tapestry of his victory. The heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament his handiwork. This statement from the word pictures of the Hebrew describes the open hand of God that spans the heavens in his bestowal of righteousness. God told Israel that If they had only heard and responded to his voice, that their righteousness would have been like the waves of the sea. Our righteousness in this hour can also come from the waves of the sea of his unlimited provision.

God spoke to me yesterday and said, I want to engulf you in my mighty acts. I will cover you with the brilliant flashes of revelation that expose the darkness. You will not be vulnerable to the lies and exposure to any darkness or its false statements because you will ride the chariot of creation into the next wave of my power. Oceans of righteousness and power are in the hidden places of my power. Waves of power have been sweeping over you, but I desire to place you on the surface, walking in and riding the oceans of all I have desired to say and do. They have waited like undiscovered galaxies just behind the curtains of time. Now it is time for my people to pull back the curtains of all that is mine and to see what I have prepared for them. It is my righteousness and blessing, but do not be afraid because it is mine. What is mine is thine also!

DAMNATION AND DEFEAT

The Lord has brought me life and immortality through his gospel. His death, his burial, and his resurrection have abolished all the pains of sin and its consequences from my record. I am a free man. God has not saved me from my sins to sentence me to damnation and defeat. The stench of my sins should have been enough to remind me of what could have been, but now in Christ, there is a fragrance of love and forgiveness that should cause me to anoint him with my praise forevermore. I praise the living God with all that is within me. If I live a life of regret and worry about the past, the present, or the future, there is no glory that is unto God.

The Lord has come that I might have life. The life that he gives is not a product of sin. Though unbelief has surfaced in me, I will no longer regret my past mistakes and sins. God does not remember them any longer. I am forgiven. He came and swallowed up death in victory. The diet of my God included the menu of my sins and the sins of whole world. He has consumed all that would have caused me to be trapped in the belly of hell because of the judgment against my sins. Jesus swallowed up all for me. Now I rest in the power of the redemption that came to pass by the offering of himself for me. He was offered in my stead. Now I no longer worry, for I am forgiven.

God's mercy came forth being authored by his love to take my place and usher me into this throne room. Now I lift up my head to the one sitting on the throne of grace and ask boldly for that which I need. I have come with a broken and contrite heart. The Lord will not turn me away. The miracle that I need is not too hard for him. Nothing is too hard for him, the Lord. I believe on him as the scriptures have declared of him, and I see the mighty handiwork of righteousness. The handiwork of righteousness works in the earth as the heavens have declared the excellency of his handiwork. I look to the heavens and see that his excellency is declared. Only God can make a star. Only he can make a galaxy. Only he can make a planet. He has proven himself by his mighty acts. I will not look back to the pit where there is no water. I will look up to the heavens and agree that the heavens declare his glory and the firmament, his handiwork. God came to show me of his handiwork in my life, and I behold the mighty handiwork of salvation.

RE: RHEMA - Hidden from Lions and Serpents In the Light of Love

Floods of light are upon the surface of the plain of life. Revelation is not only revealing his blessing but exposing the enemy. All his snares and animals of prey will be exposed and neutralized. Promises that shine like laser weapons to smite the head of the serpent and what the mouth of the roaring lions has been loosed like the arrows of the Lord. In the citadel of protection and the tower of his name, is the defense he has declared that will be like a wall of fire about us that will cause the enemy to flee before us. All the enemies of the night will be dispatched by the power of the Lord, and none will spoil the harvest that grace has perfected in us in the last hour.

(Continued)

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.

101. Do you want to be a part?

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.

102. 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.

103. Who are those silhouetted on the horizon?

104. Who are those profiled on the horizon?

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

The enemy desires you to accept a handicap as a way of life. The impediment that he offers you is to be refused, for there are no obstructions that can stand in the way of my power. You are advantaged, not disadvantaged. I have given you power, for the Holy Ghost has come upon you. Now believe on me as the scriptures have testified of me, and overcome all these limitations. The Holy Ghost is a detriment to the devil. He is the one that is handicapped, not you. I have already won for you. You do not have to involve yourself in a demonstration against evil or the power of the devil. I took all the devil's grievances and nailed them to my cross.

105. Why argue with the devil over what has been given to you?
