Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

The gates of hell shall not prevail against my body, the church. I have stormed hell's gates with an army of praisers walking in holiness and righteousness. What value are wicked and unrighteous praisers in a holy priesthood?

The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to me. The way of the wicked is an abomination to me. I love those who follow after righteousness. Behold the lively stones offering up spiritual sacrifices that are acceptable and effectual. How can you deal treacherously without profaning the holiness of the LORD?

I am holy, and I inhabit the praises of holy people with the high praises of God in their mouths. This holy priesthood swings two-edged swords and executes vengeance as they glorify me in praise. The gates of hell have no power to resist against the redeemed of the LORD, for they are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people showing forth praises unto me, their King.

The gates of hell shall not prevail against the Lord's body, the church. He has stormed hell's gates with an army of praisers walking in holiness and righteousness. There is no value in wicked and unrighteous praisers in a holy priesthood. The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to God. The way of the wicked is an abomination to him. He loves those who follow after righteousness. I behold the lively stones offering up spiritual sacrifices that are acceptable and effectual. I cannot deal treacherously without profaning the holiness of the LORD. God is holy, and he inhabits the praises of holy people with the high praises of him in their mouths.

Transported from the Entertainment Center of Doubtful Debates Unto the Table of Active Performances of Our God On Our Behalf

I have brought plenteous redemption unto you. You are no longer a slave to passions, pride, and evil. I have redeemed you from all these evil influences. I am your owner, protector, and pastor. I am the good shepherd. I gave my life for you. Now what else will I do for you?

Look not at the impossibilities that stand before you and render doubtful thoughts in my presence. Look to my love, and be fully persuaded that with my life, I also pledged to give you all things. You have looked for judgment to come to you for your failures, but remember, I have not dealt with you after your transgressions, sins, and failures. I have dealt with you after my lovingkindness and my tender mercies. I get no glory out of judging you; therefore, be not a judge in this hour, but be an encourager, for by the voice of encouragement, I will lift many out of the pits of despair and hopelessness. Give me an opportunity to provide you with the freshness of my love. From the heavens, I am imparting the fresh bread for the evening time. Manna is sent from my throne room, and the wine of the last days is served for all flesh. Withdraw yourself from the table of doubt, and draw near the table of plenty. There is room here for you, a Gentile. Leave your doubts at the table of doubt. Though the spirit of doubt follows you, listen not to his inspiration, but allow his words to go on to the vacuum of wasted attempts to distract you from love and faith. I have come to you today and extended my hand of acceptance to you again. I have come to confirm my love for you. Receive this guarantee of faithfulness, and allow it to be the foundation of your belief. I am faithful. I promised, and it is impossible for me to lie. Have I promised and decided not to perform what I promised?

Look up at arriving redemption, and see that it is very near, much nearer than when you first believed. As death lurks on every hand, I have given you everlasting security and safety in my name. Be not distracted by fear's wave throughout the earth, but be focused on my faithfulness and my power to save to the uttermost all those who come unto me by the faith of Jesus Christ. I have given to every man the measure of faith, which is necessary to achieve all things. Will you allow a thief to steal the possibilities that wait to serve you with success?

Arise from the entertainment center of doubtful disputations, and come to the table of active performances of your God on your behalf. Behold my hand. It is full of gainful possibilities, which are being converted into powerful realities while I yet speak.

RE: RHEMA - Transported from the Entertainment Center of Doubtful Debates Unto the Table of Active Performances of Our God On Our Behalf

The gospel is the good news. In a sense it is the announcement of good news on our behalf. Many media sources would like to invade our minds and spirits with failure and debate. Every answer has already been settled in Jesus Christ. As the gates of the cites in the Old Testament was where strangers would come and spread rumors, so the enemy would like for us to hear and believe every false report. We must detest and deny every false report as it pertains to the provision of God. If we have been transported from darkness to light, we also have been carried form the chambers of fear into the rooms of revelation. Our understanding has been opened by his Word. We will not choose to eat at the tables of libel and slander. Truth is the pen of the ready writer God has placed in our lips. We have been given reservations at every briefing that heaven gives. Words of power have flowed like rivers out of our hearts and minds. We are not swimming in the polluted waters of doubt. We are immersed in the depths of his delights.

DOUBTFUL DEBATES

God has brought plenteous redemption unto me. I am no longer a slave to passions, pride, and evil. God has redeemed me from all these evil influences. He is my owner, protector, and pastor. Jesus is the good shepherd. He gave his life for me. Now he will do much more for me. I will not look at the impossibilities that stand before me and render doubtful thoughts in God's presence. I look to his love, and I will be fully persuaded that with his life, he also pledged to give me all things.

INSPIRATION

By Don Grigsby

RE: RHEMA - Go and Turn the People Unto True Righteousness and True Holiness

As the toes of the image of Daniel reflect the extreme mixture in these days that is not present at any other stage of history, so is the mixture of pressures and voices that pressure the saints of God in this hour. There will never be an excuse for unrighteousness or sin, but we understand that men and women must be called by the voice of concerned shepherds to come away from the world and into the protection of the kingdom. As we turn to him in true holiness of spirit, we will attract and draw others to him. If we believe that God can do anything, then we can and will believe he will turn people away from their weaknesses to his strength. His grace has paved a highway over the roughness and the steep inclines of this system. As the enemy reaches for us, the Lord holds us closer to himself and invites us for deeper relationships still. He has baptized us with boldness and anointed us with love to pull saints away from the arms of false lovers. Even though the love of some will wax cold, the love of the chosen will intensify and expose the lie of the pleasures that pull on others.

(Continued)

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.

166. Who can make a star?

167. Who can make a galaxy?

168. Who can make a planet?

I have proven myself by my mighty acts.

169. 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 have waters that are alive. Look no longer to the dead water of this world. When you were raised in the newness of life, rivers of living water began to flow in you. Withdraw your own thoughts today, and I will water this valley with waterfalls of freshness and beauty. Hear the voice of many waters. These waters are speaking with power. These waters are falling upon your ears with resounding power. Hear the melody of the waters that flow.

170. How can you hear a melody, if you considered the sound upon your ears to be an unwanted noise?
