Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

I am the minister within you. Because of my Spirit, there are no secrets that can trouble you. The dream upon your bed was readily interpreted as you prayed. The minister of your sanctuary has caused the interpretations of dreams to grow up inside of you. The sunlight of grace has caused it to grow. This ability is for the edification of the body; therefore, be filled with the spirit of grace and of supplication so that pride is banished in my consuming fire. I have ministered unto you by my spirit this morning. I have anointed you to preach the gospel. I have improved your personal relationship with me through this spiritual ministry. Now go, and preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

God is the minister within me. Because of his Spirit, there are no secrets that can trouble me. The dream upon my bed was readily interpreted as I prayed. The minister of my sanctuary has caused the interpretations of dreams to grow up inside of me. The sunlight of grace has caused it to grow. This ability is for the edification of the body; therefore, I am filled with the spirit of grace and of supplication so that pride is banished in the Lord's consuming fire. He has ministered unto me by his spirit this morning. He anointed me to preach the gospel. He has improved my personal relationship with him through this spiritual ministry. Now I will go and preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

Climb Upon the Platform of Love, and Experience Victory and Success Over Harassment

The word of the Lord has come unto you. This word has not taken flight into the distance and forsaken its purpose. It has come to abide in you forever. This word is a speaking word. It speaks in the volume of my own design. There is no dimension that it does not cover. It is complete and all powerful. My word is creative. While you type, creative power is being imparted unto you. Gifts are being activated that have laid dormant in you. The resurrection power of my spirit has brought the gifts that were given to you to the forefront of your life that I may be glorified in you. Look at the platform of love, and climb onto it. Love awaits your entrance into the open dimension before you. You are chosen to stand on the platform of faith, and proclaim the good news of the hour. Open your mouth, and speak all the things that I proclaim in your ears.

The oppressor has attempted to burden you down with his wrongful acts of domination. I have removed his hand from your life and drawn you into the new dimension where his tactics of harassment are not seen or felt. I have come to let the oppressed go free. I will punish the oppressor. Simply go on to fulfill my purpose, for the battle is mine.

Go on and minister. Treat the oppression as a severe wind in a storm. I will sustain you though the wind of his noise is strong in your face. I am with you to keep down his unjust use of force and severe power. I have come to bring you life and that more abundantly. Be not oppressed by the poverty spirit of the hour, for abundant life is yours to possess in the face of his oppression. I have already crushed this oppression, and you now rule over it. Be not ravished or violated by these spirits that go to and fro in the earth. I will not allow you to be laden with grief, neither will I allow you to be oppressed by a sense of failure. Success has picked you up. Now journey in success, for it is destined for my glory.

RE: RHEMA - Climb Upon the Platform of Love, and Experience Victory and Success Over Harassment

Winds of change always seem to be blowing. Amidst the winds of adversity is hidden the winds of harassment. Satan will try to intimidate our walk and statements of faith. As many times as we have reminded ourselves that he is a liar, he never gets weary of lying. His pressure for us to give in and give up will always remain constant. God has built a platform of promises kept over the dust of the devil's defeat. The resurrection that would have never happened by man's efforts was accomplished by the work of the Almighty. His power is the surging sea of greatness that is in us pushing us up on the shore of the miraculous. Victory is ours in the moment of our praise and worship of the Lamb. God has created by his voice a place to stand when many are falling or sinking. Oppression and lack will not be the rulers of our hearts and minds. God has declared by his love that we have the abundance of acceptance in him. Rejection will not stand and taunt us but we will rejoice in his realm of greatness.

INSPIRATION

By Don Grigsby

RE: RHEMA - You Are Blessed Because Your Eyes See, and Your Ears Hear

Spiritual arenas are resounding and flashing with sounds and images that astound the most astute observer. Our adversary has tried to project images that overwhelm us and sounds that intimidates us. Our Savior has given us the true perspective of the eternal victory and the position that we occupy in him constantly. All the accumulated promises and provisions of his word are cascading toward us at surprising rate. Soon the church that has laid hold on the prophetic ministries will experience dimensions of power beyond any that we could have ever projected in our most vivid imaginations. As we have prophesied in a warfare that has been won by the One who is the source of our inspiration, we will not have to go back and fight those battles again. Those dominions are already under the authority of that which has been spoken. We will progress to the place that shock and awe will be insufficient words to describe the extensions of our God's greatness that will be displayed and heard in the midst of our worship services. Heaven will finally make the earth a vestibule of heaven. We will see the church as a launch pad and landing run for the hosts of heaven. They wait at a moment's notice to secure the very best that God intends for us. All the plans of the wicked one will fall apart, and the false reports of fear and the horror flicks of the darkness will be blown away by the resounding reports of heavens miracles and their attending images.

(Continued)

My sheep hear my voice. I call them by name and lead them. Seek to follow me, for I go before those who are mine. I have tuned your ears to know my voice. The voice of the strange shepherds is seducing many. Many are ensnared because they will not flee the stranger. My sheep do not know the voice of strangers. Go not out of the door of the sheepfold to follow those who have forsaken the right way. Your pasture is green, and your waters are still. I have led you here. Now lay down in my hand. You are safe from the thief who came to steal, to kill, and to destroy. There is life in my hand. It is abundant and full of satisfaction. I came and gave my life for you. I have given you the example of leadership through my life as the good shepherd.

207. Do you know each of the people in your pasture intimately?

Be content to dwell in my bosom and in my arms, for I will set my bride out of reach of my wrath before I shake the heavens and remove the earth out of her place. Take heed that no man deceives you and draws you away from this relationship. Allow not the discreditors of the hour to shake your faith in my voice. My sheep know and hear my voice, and they will not follow the voice of another. Seek to walk closer with me. Seek to please me.

208. If you do not please me, then how will you escape the hands of deception?

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.

209. To which of the Old Testament prophets did I say, "Greater works than these shall you do"?

I will take you on a journey where fish reside. You are a fisher of men. I called you to catch men.

210. How will you catch them if you do not fish?

211. What do you know about fishing?
