Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

Lift up your eyes unto the ministry of my Spirit, and saturate yourself with knowledge from this heavenly source. Lift your hands, and allow the fear of the Lord to generate wisdom as a continual stream of power. I have sent forth the ray of righteousness that your standing before me is without condemnation and guilt; therefore, go forth in a new quality of life today, for I have touched you with the anointing that destroys all yokes. Men walk about in the earth with earthly crowns of achievement. I am your crown of glory and a diadem of beauty. I have placed the spirit of judgment upon you. Now will you make right decisions while I fight for you in the battles at your gate. Come. I am carrying you in the spirit of my ministry. Look to the valleys of this world, and see the need of life in the dry places all about you. The people are as dry bones. They need a living voice spoken over them. Prophesy according to the proportion of faith that is in you. Speak unto the dry bones of the day and say, "Hear the word of the LORD." Be not afraid to speak, for it is not you that is speaking. It is the spirit of your Father that speaks in you. Hear the noise, and behold the shaking caused by the wind of my Spirit. I have sent a wind rushing into hopeful vessels that have sat in darkness and have not seen this great light of love. Rise up in faith, and believe that the power of the resurrection is creating new creatures in Christ Jesus because of promise and love.

(RHEMA: Carried by God In the Spirit of Jesus' Ministry)

I will lift up my eyes unto the ministry of God's Spirit and saturate myself with knowledge from this heavenly source. I will lift up my hands and allow the fear of the Lord to generate wisdom as a continual stream of power. He has sent forth the ray of righteousness that my standing before him is without condemnation and guilt; therefore, I will go forth in a new quality of life, for he has touched me with the anointing that destroys all yokes. Men walk about in the earth with earthly crowns of achievement. He is my crown of glory and a diadem of beauty. He has placed the spirit of judgment upon me. Now will I make right decisions while he fights for me in the battles at my gate. I have come to God, and he is carrying me in the spirit of his ministry. I look to the valleys of this world and see the need of life in the dry places all about me. The people are as dry bones. They need a living voice spoken over them. I will prophesy according to the proportion of faith that is in me. I will speak unto the dry bones of the day and say, "Hear the word of the LORD." I am not afraid to speak, for it is not me that is speaking. It is the spirit of my Father that speaks in me. I hear the noise and behold the shaking caused by the wind of God's spirit. He has sent a wind rushing into hopeful vessels that have sat in darkness and have not seen this great light of love. I rise up in faith and believe that the power of the resurrection is creating new creatures in Christ Jesus because of promise and love.

The Melody of Salvation Is In Harmony With the Tune Played by the Apostles; Therefore, Take Up the Trumpet of Truth, and Play the Same Tune

I have given you life and that more abundantly. Do not bargain with the enemy at the gate and exchange the life that I have given you for the empty package that is being offered. You have tried the spirits at the door. Now beware lest you are led away with the error of the wicked and fall from your own steadfastness. Continue to grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Not everyone that says unto me, "Lord, Lord," is hearing my voice. There are many voices, and none of them are without signification. The voice of antichrist is speaking loudly in this hour. I have shortened the days. If I had not, no flesh would be saved, but for the elect's sake, which I have chosen, I have shortened the days. Many voices beckon people to come into the empty chambers of idolatry. Follow them not, neither be enticed by the glamour of recognition. I have said, "Be ye holy as I am holy." I have not changed my mind and gone in a different direction. Forsake not the ancient landmarks of truth. I have not devised a different plan for saving mankind. Read the words of Paul, and live by them. Paul did not compromise with the false teachers of his day but rather reproved them. He reproved them because I instructed him to do so. He labored with me in building my body. I have not changed, neither will I change. I am the same yesterday, today, and forever. I am the Lord, and I change not. Paul's message is the message for this hour and this time. Take up the trumpet of truth, and play your tune of truth in this hour. Do not play another melody because the hearers reject the melody played by you. You are ordained to play the melody of salvation that harmonizes with the apostles of the early church. The discord played by the false apostles and deceitful workers, who have transformed themselves into the apostles of Christ, is being declared from every point on the globe. Do not marvel, for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light; therefore, it is no great thing that his ministers also are transformed as the ministers of righteousness, whose end shall be according to their works.

Pray, "Lead me not into temptation, and deliver me from evil and the evil one." Make this a part of your daily prayer. Deception is rampant. As the serpent beguiled Eve, so are deceiving spirits beguiling people today. Through great subtlety, they seek to corrupt minds from the simplicity that is in Christ. Remember, if he that comes preaches another Jesus, whom you have not preached, or if you receive another spirit, which you have not received, or another gospel, which you have not accepted, you might well bear with him. Stand fast in the truth. It has made you free. Now be not entangled with the yoke of bondage at your door. Speak to the enemy in the gate, and press on toward the mark for the high calling of God that is in Christ Jesus. Go, for I am with you until the end of the age.

RE: RHEMA - The Melody of Salvation Is In Harmony With the Tune Played by the Apostles; Therefore, Take Up the Trumpet of Truth, and Play the Same Tune

Heaven has begun to play the symphony finale. We must be sure that we are not in the condition of being discordant. As we with one accord and in tune with the key of salvation burst upon this hour with thunderous percussion, the deaf will hear and the blind will see. Miracles are in the notes that the trumpets of redemption will play. Entire sections of the harmony are reserved for the blending of the sounds of thanksgiving that is gushing from our hearts. Other voices and sounds will try to interfere with the sound we are hearing from the heavens. Others will say that there is a better song that is more pleasing to the ear. Some will play the notes of another gospel. We have heard the song of creation. If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. Creations song is the same song as the powerful song of redemption. Salvation has been declared by the prophets and apostles. Our director and writer of every note and word is the same at all times. He does not change with the times. He changes the times that he is in. Truth's music will always ring true in our hearts.

DISCORD AND DECEPTION

Jesus has given me life and that more abundantly. I will not bargain with the enemy at the gate and exchange the life that he has given me for the empty package that is being offered. I have tried the spirits at the door. Now I will beware lest I am led away with the error of the wicked and fall from my own steadfastness. I purpose to continue to grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Not everyone that says unto him, "Lord, Lord," is hearing his voice. There are many voices and none of them are without signification. The voice of antichrist is speaking loudly in this hour. God has shortened the days. If he had not, no flesh would be saved, but for the elect's sake, which he has chosen, he has shortened the days. Many voices beckon people to come into the empty chambers of idolatry. I purpose not to follow them, neither be enticed by the glamour of recognition. God has said, "Be ye holy as I am holy." He has not changed his mind and gone in a different direction.

I determine not to forsake the ancient landmarks of truth. He has not devised a different plan for saving mankind. I will read the words of Paul and live by them. Paul did not compromise with the false teachers of his day but rather reproved them. He reproved them because God instructed him to do so. He labored with God in building his body. He has not changed, neither will he change. Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He is the Lord, and he does not change. Paul's message is the message for this hour and this time. I take up the trumpet of truth and play my tune of truth in this hour. I will not play another melody because the hearers reject the melody played by me. I am ordained to play the melody of salvation that harmonizes with the apostles of the early church. The discord played by the false apostles and deceitful workers, who have transformed themselves into the apostles of Christ, is being declared from every point on the globe.

INSPIRATION

RE: RHEMA - Perform On Behalf of God Almighty As a Power of Attorney With Authority

His name executes the will in all its phases as we wake up to the reality we are the heirs of all the things that he is and possesses. Works that follow, using the authority of his name, portray a grand scene of apostolic venues. His kingdom is full of his character of holiness. We will not compromise the principles of his kingdom for fleshly gratification. Our declaration of all the components of the will and his loving kindness to all who will hear will sweep away all the false systems of man's design. All earthly kingdoms are hollow and void of power, but our God delights in showing his great power to his children. Our world and communities cry out for deliverance from the torture of the torment of the kingdom of darkness. As we boldly declare the liberty of the creation of God, the auditorium of fear will be emptied into the house of the Lord. Thirsty in the desert, they wait for the words that are backed with the authority that is only in his name.

(Continued)

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.

201. Now what else will I do for you?

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.

202. Have I promised and decided not to perform what I promised?

The love of many is waxing colder and colder. Take heed that no man deceives you. Come away from the table of devils.

203. Can you eat from the table of the Lord and the table of devils?

Many are coming in my name saying, "I am Christ," and shall deceive many. Iniquity is abounding more than ever before, and the love of many is at a very cold point. Love my law and me and then will your heart be armed against being offended. Betrayal is rampant. Hatred has become a sea of coldness. Its waves flow through the earth like a river when it is out of control. The unfaithful shall be cast into this river of hatred, and many shall die for the word of God and the testimony that they hold. I have called you. I have chosen you. Now be faithful.

204. How will you endure unto the end if you are not persuaded to be faithful?

205. How will you be caught away before the great day of my wrath with spots and wrinkles in your garment?

206. Am I pleased with spots and wrinkles in the garments of salvation?
