Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

Many do not know what they have lost in the bundles of time that they squander each day. Their habits of squandering shall be their snares in the hour of my coming. Watch, for you do not know what hour that I am coming. If the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Be ready, for in such an hour as you think not, the Son of man will come. I have spiritual news for you in the morning. Come and receive the kingdom news, and cancel your entertainment before the voice of your own thoughts. Come and cast yourself before me, and the first-fruit of your strength, mind, soul, spirit, and heart shall be embraced by me as precious incense. I have given you the kingdom of God. It is my good pleasure to give it to you. Immerse yourself into a relationship with the King of the kingdom each morning, and no thief will approach you, nor corrupt your treasures. What are your treasures?

Your heart will be buried where you have buried your treasure. How valuable am I unto you?

(RHEMA: Spiritual News Delivered by Hearing Exposes the Murderer of Time)

Many do not know what they have lost in the bundles of time that they squander each day. Their habits of squandering shall be their snares in the hour of his coming. "Watch," God says, for I do not know what hour that he is coming. If the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. I purpose to be ready, for in such an hour as I think not, the Son of man will come. He has spiritual news for me in the morning. I come and receive the kingdom news and cancel my entertainment before the voice of my own thoughts. I will go and cast myself before him, and the first-fruit of my strength, mind, soul, spirit, and heart shall be embraced by God as precious incense. He has given me the kingdom of God. It is his good pleasure to give it to me. I immerse myself into a relationship with the King of the kingdom each morning, and no thief will approach me, nor corrupt my treasures. God's treasures are my treasures. My heart will be buried where I have buried my treasure. The Lord is more valuable to me than anything else.

The Knock of the Bridegroom At the Door of My Heart

I have knocked at the door of your heart. If you will hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to you and sup with you. You must desire to sup with me if you are to receive the inspiration and fellowship that I have designed for you to receive. I have removed sleep from your eyes, but is your heart awake?

Does your heart know that it is the voice of your beloved that knocks?

I have placed my hand by the hole of the door of your heart, but you were not moved for me. You were moved for other things that had no real value. What value have you placed on this fellowship and communion that has been offered to you?

You must learn to open unto me immediately when I call at the door of your heart, or you shall miss my coming. Those who wait on me will hear me when I come and knock so that they may open unto me immediately. This is a precious thing that has been given to you. You have taken it for granted. Instead of hands of gratitude and fingers of affection for me, you have given your hands and fingers to other things in the morning. I could have withdrawn myself and left the door of your heart, but my lovingkindness motivated me to linger at the door of your heart. I am not far from anyone of my people. If they would only happily feel after me and seek me with all of their heart, they would find me.

The world cannot know me, but you know me. I have given you peace and many blessings. The things that I have given you are not as the things that the world gives, so do not let your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Rise up with a grateful heart, and be filled with the voice of thanksgiving. Blessed are the people of the Lord who will be found watching. I will make everyone who watches to sit down and eat meat with me. Do not lose your relationship with me to a thief. I will come in an hour that you think not; therefore, be ready always. If you do not have faith to watch, then how will you have faith as a grain of mustard seed?

If you do not have faith to say unto yourself, "Watch." How will you say unto the sycamine tree, "Be thou plucked up by the root, and be planted in the sea"?

Arise and worship out of a love for me and not out of duty. Do you love me?

Then keep my words. I will come unto you continually if you love me, and keep my sayings. These words that you are hearing are the words of the Father who lives inside of you. Be thankful that you are called and chosen. Now be faithful. Prepare yourself for my coming. My wife will make herself ready. She shall be given grace that she might be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white. She shall be adorned with the righteousness of saints. I have sent out the call unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. If you dishonor me, how will you be ready when I come for my wife?

Though you express gladness and rejoice to the music in your worship services, these things will not prepare you for the catching away of my wife. You must give honor to me in all things. Prepare yourself, for heaven is being prepared to open up as I prepare to judge and make war. The armies of heaven are prepared already. I shall tread the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of God. I shall come with my armies. All shall know that I am KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. Call on my name today, and be delivered, for the hour cometh when I shall come to judge all ungodliness. I have sanctified you through the truth. Remain faithful, and receive the grace to endure unto the end then will you be saved.

RE: RHEMA - The Knock of the Bridegroom At the Door of My Heart

Behold the voice that knocks on our door in the Song of Solomon and the book of Revelation. It is the same voice of prophecy that has announced every promise and blessing in the kingdom of God since the beginning of time. He never changes. We are the ones who get used to the effects of environment and conditions around us. We should never get adjusted to the things around us that work to destroy our faith and commitment to the Lord. We have made dedications and commitments to God that should never be trivialized by any event in our lives. We are looking for and anticipating the coming of the Lord. We are warned that we would become sleepers at that hour if we are not careful. We cannot afford to be lulled to sleep and say in our hearts that the Lord delays his coming. We cannot let the oil in our lamps run low. We must continually renew and refresh the supply of the oil of the Holy Ghost in our lives. We have come too far to go back into the depths that God has brought us from. As we become sensitive to the voice of God, we will open the doors of our lives and spirits on a continual basis. If we are used to hearing the voice of God, we will readily hear his warning and his call to come up higher. If we are not attuned to his voice, we will miss the call to come away with him. If we have prepared ourselves and made ready for the wedding, we will be filled with a fierce and intense love and yearning for him. Every letter of his words and every hint of his nearness awake us to a different dimension than the every day life. We must not be part of those who are thrust out with the portion of the hypocrites. Ours is an ardent love and determination to never turn loose of the faith and love that has been forged in our lives by the fire of his love that water cannot drown out.

UNBELIEF

God has knocked at the door of my heart. If I will hear his voice and open the door, he will come in to me and sup with me. I must desire to sup with him if I am to receive the inspiration and fellowship that he has designed for me to receive. God has removed sleep from my eyes, but many times my heart is not awake. My heart knows that it is the voice of my beloved that knocks. God has placed his hand by the hole of the door of my heart, but I was not moved for him. I was moved for other things that had no real value. I have not placed a high enough value on this fellowship and communion that has been offered to me. I must learn to open unto God immediately when he calls at the door of my heart, or I shall miss his coming. Those who wait on the Lord will hear him when he comes and knocks so that they may open unto him immediately. This is a precious thing that has been given to me. I have taken it for granted. Instead of hands of gratitude and fingers of affection for God, I have given my hands and fingers to other things in the morning. God could have withdrawn himself and left the door of my heart, but his lovingkindness motivated him to linger at the door of my heart. Jesus is not far from anyone of his people. If they would only happily feel after him and seek him with all of their heart, they would find him.

The world cannot know God, but I know him. He has given me peace and many blessings. The things that he has given me are not as the things that the world gives, so I will not let my heart be troubled, neither will I let it be afraid. I rise up with a grateful heart, and I am filled with the voice of thanksgiving. Blessed are the people of the Lord who will be found watching.

God will come in an hour that I think not; therefore, I purpose to be ready always. If I do not have faith to watch, I will not have faith as a grain of mustard seed. If I do not have faith to say unto myself, "Watch," I will not be able to say unto the sycamine tree, "Be thou plucked up by the root, and be planted in the sea."

I arise and worship out of a love for God and not out of duty. I love the Lord; therefore, I will keep his words. He will come unto me continually if I love him and keep his sayings. These words that I am hearing are the words of the Father who lives inside of me. I am thankful that I am called and chosen. Now I will be faithful. I will prepare myself for the coming of the Lord. His wife will make herself ready. She shall be given grace that she might be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white. She shall be adorned with the righteousness of saints.

I call on his name today, and I am delivered, for the hour cometh when he shall come to judge all ungodliness. God has sanctified me through the truth. I elect to remain faithful and receive the grace to endure unto the end then will I be saved.

INSPIRATION

By Don Grigsby

RE: RHEMA - Rejoice Expectantly While You Prepare To Receive Your Miracle

In prayer, the Lord spoke to me and said,

Rejoice and shout because the barriers of interference are being destroyed. All the things you have looked for in expectation will come forth from the darkness you thought had swallowed them. All the clouds that you thought would bring a storm are just my chariots and host bringing to you the spoils of the battle you thought you would have to fight, but I have already won.

His word has been spoken upon the indelible scrolls of power in the mouth of his prophets. All of the promises are not just DNA floating in a part of the body. They are already the full term child of promise about to break forth and cry aloud. As we worship and praise the Lord, we prepare the room of the new arrival. Old bottles cannot hold new wine, neither can old containers of worship hold the celebration of the birth of the miracles of today. Miracles that have come to abide in our presence will bring a new atmosphere to our living. Faith will be the oxygen we breathe, and grace will be the red blood cells that take it throughout the body.

(Continued)

I made the clouds the garments, thereof, and thick darkness a swaddling-band for it, brake up for it my decreed place, set bars and doors and said, "Hitherto shall you come, but no further and here shall your proud waves be stayed?"

132. Have the gates of death been opened unto you?

133. Or have you seen the doors of the shadow of death?

Believe on me as the scriptures have declared of me, and the rivers of living water will flow in you and through you. Allow true faith to work. True faith is in you. True faith has not come to the threshold of revival and turned back. True faith has no reverse, for true faith overcomes all things. If you believe, then all things are possible if you truly believe. With men, things are impossible, but with me, all things are possible.

134. Is anything too hard for me?

I have said, "Come and follow me." I am the way, the truth, and the life. I am the only one who has walked the path of life, met death, and overcame it.

135. Who else will you follow to the grave and be assured of eternal life?

136. What man will you follow with total assurance of everlasting existence?
