Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

Be not ridiculed in the enemy's mockery of Holy Ghost praying. The enemy has made spiritual mummies of my people and led them down powerless prayer diversions. I have not degenerated to this form of prayer for you. Be not a laughingstock, nor a clown in the theater of religious acts of devotion. Close off this road to religious distraction and entertainment. Return to effectual praying in the Holy Ghost where you may build up yourself. Return to true prayer in the Spirit. I have poured the spirit of grace and of supplication upon you this morning. Now cast out all these diversions from the true path of prayer, and allow the Spirit to help your infirmities. The Spirit desires to make intercession for you with groaning that cannot be uttered. You do not know what you should pray for as you ought. The Spirit of Jesus is in your heart. Hear it cry, "Abba Father." You are not a slave in the minstrel show of the devil. You are a son and an heir to the glory and the power of God. Rise up, and pray always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit. Pray without ceasing. Be careful for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto me.

(RHEMA: Seal Off the Road To Religious Distraction and Entertainment Where Prayerless Flyers Are Distributed, and Return To Holy Ghost Praying)

I determine not to be ridiculed in the enemy's mockery of Holy Ghost praying. The enemy has made spiritual mummies of the Lord's people and led them down powerless prayer diversions. He has not degenerated to this form of prayer for me. I choose not to be a laughingstock, nor a clown in the theater of religious acts of devotion. I close off this road to religious distraction and entertainment. I will return to effectual praying in the Holy Ghost where I may build up myself. I purpose to return to true prayer in the Spirit. He has poured the spirit of grace and of supplication upon me. Now I cast out all these diversions from the true path of prayer, and I allow the Spirit to help my infirmities. The Spirit desires to make intercession for me with groaning that cannot be uttered. I do not know what I should pray for as I ought. The Spirit of Jesus is in my heart. I hear it cry, "Abba Father." I am not a slave in the minstrel show of the devil. I am a son and an heir to the glory and the power of God. I rise up and pray always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit. I determine to pray without ceasing and to be careful for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, to let my requests be made known unto God.

The Corn of the Last Days Is Given To You; Therefore, Feed the Children the Living Bread

The tempter is no match for those whose heart is upright before me. A man is not tempted by God but drawn away of his own lust. I will not suffer you to be tempted above that which you are able, and with every temptation, I will make a way of escape that you may be able to bear it. Allow not the voice of the tempter to lead you away from my presence, but bring all your thoughts into captivity unto my obedience. Think on the right things, and you shall escape the lure of seducing spirits. Cast yourself upon my faithfulness in the time of trouble, and have no confidence in the flesh. Pray always, and you will not venture in the paths of temptation. Pray that your heart remains pure. Pray that your mouth has a watch set before it and that the door of your lips is kept. Pray that your eyes not behold any wicked thing. Pray that you enter not into temptation.

I have placed gifts in you. These gifts are fruitful and spring forth for my glory. Allow the gift of God to operate in you. It brings you before great men in due time. Fear not to open your mouth, and speak the words that I have placed in your heart. Fear not, for I have ordained the ministry within you. Fear not to allow the gift to operate in the presence of the lords of the hour. Fear not.

Come from the corners of ministry, and allow me to lead you into the paths of ministry that I have chosen for you to minister. I am with you. Now fear not. The gift is within you and so is the kingdom of God. I will give you favor with man. Your gift shall speak for itself. The time has come for the manifestation of my power in this earth. Now believe the words spoken in your ears. There is a famine of the hearing of the word of God, but I have given you corn for the last days. The corn that I have given you shall be used to feed the children the living bread for their faith. Spare not the expressions that desire to leap from your heart and life. I have ordained the expressions in you. They shall flow freely if you allow them to. Now go, and allow the operation of the gift within you.

RE: RHEMA - The Corn of the Last Days Is Given To You; Therefore, Feed the Children the Living Bread

We are the spiritual Josephs of the last days. As God gave him abundant store houses of corn, he has given us exceeding, precious promises without number. God still does wonders without number. God has given us prophetic words and dreams for this hour. As we have planted them, the abundant harvest has come up in the lives of others. Visions of the last day are not of doom and gloom but that the glory of God will be revealed. Miracles without number have been promised, and we will see them and experience them in our lives. We are living in the filling up of the top of the container. The floors of harvest will overflow with wine and oil of joy and anointing. God will use us as the supply system for the hungry and thirsty all around us. Dreams are not just a fantasy, and prophecies are not just personal whims. We have a more sure word of prophecy, because we are built on the foundation of every other prophecy that has been spoken and fulfilled before us. Every gifting that God has given us will multiply itself in the bosom of all that we minister to.

TEMPTATION

The tempter is no match for those whose heart is upright before the Lord. A man is not tempted by God but drawn away of his own lust. He will not suffer me to be tempted above that which I am able, and with every temptation, he will make a way of escape that I may be able to bear it. I will not allow the voice of the tempter to lead me away from God's presence, but I bring all my thoughts into captivity unto his obedience. I purpose to think on the right things, and I shall escape the lure of seducing spirits. I cast myself upon his faithfulness in the time of trouble, and I will have no confidence in the flesh. I pray always, and I will not venture in the paths of temptation. I pray that my heart remains pure. I pray that my mouth has a watch set before it and that the door of my lips is kept. I pray that my eyes not behold any wicked thing. I pray that I do not enter into temptation.

The Lord has placed gifts in me. These gifts are fruitful and spring forth for his glory. I allow the gift of God to operate in me. It brings me before great men in due time. I will not fear to open my mouth and speak the words that he has placed in my heart. I do not fear, for he has ordained the ministry within me. Without fear, I allow the gift to operate in the presence of the lords of the hour. I do not fear.

I come from the corners of ministry and allow him to lead me into the paths of ministry that he has chosen for me to minister. The Lord is with me. Now I do not fear. The gift is within me and so is the kingdom of God. He will give me favor with man. My gift shall speak for itself. The time has come for the manifestation of the Lord's power in this earth. Now I believe the words spoken in my ears. There is a famine of the hearing of the words of God, but he has given me corn for the last days. The corn that he has given me shall be used to feed the children the living bread for their faith. I am determined not to spare the expressions that desire to leap from my heart and life. God has ordained the expressions in me. They shall flow freely if I allow them to. Now I go and allow the operation of the gift within me.

INSPIRATION

By Don Grigsby

RE: RHEMA - Miracles Are Conceived In Us

There will always be a "lord spirit" that people lean on for counsel that will say, "If the Lord will make windows in heaven, might this thing be? "

In the circles of religious tradition there are those who wait to explain away the operation of the supernatural. All those who are hungry will turn these folks into pavement as they go to receive the miracle. The enigma of the statement is that God has opened windows in heaven already. Miraculous seed has been conceived in us, and it is bringing forth an abundant harvest as we speak. Our inabilities will be placed in the background as the supernatural ability of God is working constantly in this last day. Miraculous faith is speaking in our mouth and leaping in our womb. At the Holiday unit, I simply spoke simple words of faith and that the voice of the Lord in creation now is on the flood that they were experiencing there. Eight men received the baptism of the Holy Ghost. I saw a vision just recently where those who believe and declare this prophetic ministry were gathered and the people could not find parking places. They parked in the streets and were breaking in at the door. As soon as the music began and those who sang began to speak the words of power in song, there was a flood of power from the front to back. People were falling in the back door, delivered as the Lord did the work. This is the work that is coming to birth in us at this hour.

(Continued)

The kingdom of God has come unto your life with all of its power and provision. Accept faith's choice for your life, and do not settle for things on the right hand of evil. I have called you to be first in line. You were last, but now I make you first. Patience is given to you. It is a virtue of my Holy Spirit. In it, you possess your soul. Now glorify me, and give me honor. Allow this day to be a special day in your life. I awakened you and removed sleep from your eyes so that I might commune with you. This morning is special to me.

121. Is it special to you?

Rejoice. I make you glad in the presence of the depressing things of the hour. The depression that you feel comes from principalities and powers. The prince of the power of the air has sent his pressure against your mind. Be not persuaded by this pressure. Greater am I who is in you. I continually work on your behalf. I have caused the author of pressure to bow. Go on in the will of God, and be not distracted by his tactics of warfare. I have built a bridge over distraction.

122. Why halt at the mouth of distraction?

Your righteousness is as a filthy rag. I have given you my righteousness. All have sinned and come short of the glory of God. I am your righteousness. I have come to live inside of you. You are wretched and so is every man. Be not disturbed by the accusations of men. In your flesh, you fall short. I do not fall short. You are crucified with me, nevertheless, you live, yet not you, but I live in you. The life you now live in the flesh, you live by my faith. I love you and gave myself for you. There is, therefore, now no condemnation to you, for you are walking after the Spirit and not after the flesh. The law of the Spirit of life in me has made you free from the law of sin and death. I was cursed for your sake.

123. If I took the curse, who is it that will place you back under the curse?

Take the resurrection's elevator, for we must go and witness to lost souls. There is no darkness on this elevator. You are supplied with all that you need. Do not be alarmed by the souls that are dying all about you. My anger and my fury are being poured out. I have made many an execration, an astonishment, a curse, and a reproach. Spiritual death is rampant. Die not with the masses.

124. Why should you die before your time?
