Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

I have turned your opponents against each other. I have set them against themselves. The spirit of the world, which has opposed you, shall fail in the midst of the world. I will destroy the counsel of those that oppose the living word. They shall be turned to idols and familiar spirits. The spirit of sorcery has come to take those who oppose the truth. I am the chief cornerstone. My body is built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets. In Christ Jesus, all the building is fitly framed together and grows unto a holy temple in me. In Christ Jesus, my body is built together for a habitation of God through the Spirit. Look unto tomorrow with confidence in me, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, and a sure foundation. Let patience have her perfect way in you, for he that believeth on me shall not make haste. The refuge of lies that have stood in your face shall be swept away by the acts of my Spirit. I have laid judgment to the line and plunged righteousness headfirst into this war. The waters of prophecy shall flood the hiding place of the enemy. The waters of prophecy are my testimony for my own sake.

Dream and Perform the Greatest Works Ever

Be not discouraged because some do not believe in my voice in the earth today. It is their loss. Be not distracted by their criticism. They have fenced themselves in a prison of their own words and locked themselves up with their own tongues. Lie down on your bed and dream. I will open your understanding as you journey with me in the secret chambers of the Spirit. I have not saved these experiences for Abraham, Joseph, Daniel, Elijah, Elisha, and the Old Testament prophets while excluding people today. I have saved the best for last. The first shall be last, and the last shall be first. To which of the Old Testament prophets did I say, "Greater works than these shall you do"?

I say unto you, "The glory of this latter house is greater than of the former house." The prophets inquired and searched diligently for what you have received. They prophesied of the grace that has come unto you. The Spirit of Christ signified and testified in them. The same Spirit of Christ testifies in my people today. The prophets knew that it was not unto them, but unto you, they did minister the things that are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven. You have received a glorious gift. The angels desire to look into what you have received. Gird up the loins of your mind, and refuse to drink the wine of spiritual drunkards of unbelief. Be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. I have called you. I am holy. Now be holy, for I am holy. Be holy in all manner of conversation. Continually call on me who, without respect of persons, judges according to every man's work.

RE: RHEMA - Dream and Perform the Greatest Works Ever

Our dreams are the frames of the portraits of prophecy. Our dreams are the streams of heaven's inspiration flooding our soul with the waters of hope. Dreams always multiply the imaginations into images that may seem exaggerated to those who do not understand. Those who dream the dreams of deity's designs are filled with the understanding of the dimensions that transcend time and space. Eternity is revealing its intent to the dreamer's steps of faith. Every prophet and seer was a dreamer. Many people are so near sighted that they never get out of the grave of yesterday and stay parked in today's garage of fear. God who gives the dreams that lift us to higher heights and greater things has spoken in the dreams of the day and night. Greater works that any recorded in scripture are ours for the seeing and speaking. If we see it and speak it, we are the owners in the Spirit.

INSPIRATION & RHEMA

By Don Grigsby

RE: RHEMA -The Power of God Is Protecting You, and No Evil Shall Befall You

The service at the Walls unit turned into a prophetic service. As I read the words of this prophecy, I knew the Lord was speaking to us along the same lines. No power will ever transcend the power of the Almighty. All the assembled eon's of anarchy cannot take one inch of God's property as we give no place for him to attempt it. Our declarations will raise up barriers and walls of defense that they cannot breach. God has built a platform of power that the church and every true believer is fastened upon. All the storms of hell and the assaults of fear and unbelief cannot dent the special armor of the righteousness he has provided for us. Satan cannot do anything that God does not give him permission to do in our lives. Winds of the spirit will guide our vessel to the harbor of victory.

In the service, the Lord began to speak to us on this wise.

Many of you have written the lies of the enemy in your minds. I have come to erase the words and illustrations of fear from your heart and mind. Satan has sought to bury you in a grave of premature, spiritual atrophy that would leave you helpless. I have come to tell you to lift up the rod of faith over your situation. Blow the trumpet of prophecy over your circumstances and family and as sure as I have given cities unto my people before, I will give you certain victory and deliverance. Many times your mind has said it has not happened yet. I have come to curse your "not yets" and cover your mountains of impossibility with the sea of my provision. I, alone, have treaded the waves of the sea. I have come to you in the midst of your storm, and I have turned your tide to not uncover more mountain of impossibility to see but to cover it in the depths as I did the Egyptian army and gave them a sea of salvation and prosperity from the robbers of the worship of the One true and living God. Worship me with a loud voice, and declare my ways, and I will bury the fear of the wicked into the grave of his defeat.

(Continued)

Allow not these limitations to rule over you any longer. I am the God of all power, and I live inside of you. All power is mine. All things are in subjection to me.

186. If I am for you, then who can be against you?

Do not complicate your way by doing things your own way. You have predetermined the way things are going to be. Give me your predetermined plans, and I will redirect your path. I am the strength of your life. Allow pure strength to have the controls of your life again. The walls before you are not insurmountable. I am on both sides of the walls. I know all things. I have met you on this side of the wall to carry you to the other side. I have considered your frailty, your hurts, your limits, and everything about your humanity. I am the God that makes all things grow.

187. Who replanted the flowers that came up again this season?

Though it seems as though your dreams were dead, they will sprout again as a flower in its season. Behold your dreams come alive, and grow up to worship the sunshine of my love. The cold ground of doubt and unbelief did not destroy your hope. I gave you hope that would not fail while you were covered with the coldness of uncertainty. I have made a way for you; therefore, discard these boundaries that were placed on you by your traditions and men. The way is made. Rise up, and walk in it. Walk in the way of faith. You are justified. Live by the Rhema word of God. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Rhema of God. The just shall live by his faith.

188. What is your faith today?

All things are for your sakes. The abundant grace abounds through the thanksgiving that you offer, which is for my glory. Do not faint. Your inward man is being renewed. You died this morning, but now you live. Because I live, you live also. You have the same spirit of faith as Enoch. As you have believed, speak. Cease speaking after the inspiration of your old man. Come up higher, and speak of things in heavenly places. Take hold of the things that I am showing you. All things are possible with me. It is me, your heavenly Father, that will do the work. Cease from your own works that my works might be glorified. You are of faith; therefore, you are blessed with faithful Abraham. I have blessed you in Abraham and in Christ.

189. Why accept the things from the curse that have been offered to you?

Deceitful lust will attempt to empower you through your emotions. Be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and put on the new man, which after God, is created in righteousness and true holiness. You have not learned Christ as a Christ who is empowered by lust and driven by emotions. The just shall live by faith. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Rhema of God. You shall live by every Rhema that proceeds out of my mouth. I gave you the Rhema of God.

190. Now why are you living by your feelings and by your sight?
