Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

I have shown much compassion and granted abundance of patience and mercy. They have mocked me. They have mocked the people of God. Now I will move to teach them of the folly of rebellion, deception, and disobedience. I have called, and they did not come. I have beckoned, and they did not hearken. Their crops are sown, and now the reaper shall come through their lives. A strong delusion has been sent to some because they did not receive a love of the truth. The ungodly are not so but are as the chaff which the wind drives away. I am spewing the lukewarm out of my mouth. I am blowing away the ungodly. Be not surprised who is spewed out and blown away. Do not attempt to hold on to those that I am spewing out of my mouth. Do not attempt to hold on to those that I am blowing away. The trash of their attitudes and their words will only cloud your vision. Stand aside as I purge my body. Behold the multitudes in the distance that are appointed to be heirs of salvation.

(RHEMA: The Folly of Rebellion, Deception, and Disobedience)

God has shown much compassion and granted abundance of patience and mercy. They have mocked the Lord. They have mocked the people of God. Now God will move to teach them of the folly of rebellion, deception, and disobedience. He has called, and they did not come. He has beckoned, and they did not hearken. Their crops are sown, and now the reaper shall come through their lives. A strong delusion has been sent to some because they did not receive a love of the truth. The ungodly are not so but are as the chaff which the wind drives away. The Lord is spewing the lukewarm out of his mouth. He is blowing away the ungodly. I will not be surprised who is spewed out and blown away. I will not attempt to hold on to those that the Lord is spewing out of his mouth. I will not attempt to hold on to those that he is blowing away. The trash of their attitudes and their words will only cloud my vision. Through faith, I will stand aside as God purges his body. I behold the multitudes in the distance that are appointed to be heirs of salvation.

Lay Up Mercy In the Vault of Heaven, and You Will Be Able To Stand In the Evil Days Ahead

Goodness and mercy have followed you. Goodness has led you unto repentance. Now you will not perish, for goodness has saved you from the devastating blow that sought to cause you to lose your life and be damned. Goodness has invaded the temples of God, while mercy has stayed the hand of my wrath. All have sinned and come short of my glory; therefore, I have given more grace in this time of need.

Rejoice that I have counted you worthy to escape the things that have come upon the earth. You have heard my voice. Now give thanks that you are my sheep. Many who thought they were mine have gone down the path of illusion. Many wise men desire to experience what you are experiencing and have not experienced it. Rejoice, for I have been good to you. You deserved to die, but I gave you grace instead of judgment. Go and do for others what I have done for you. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. Lay up mercy in the vault of heaven, and you will be able to stand in the evil days ahead. How will you stand if you have not been merciful to others who have sinned against you?

The fact that others have done wrong unto you granted you an opportunity to express mercy. If I had not allowed others to do you wrong, mercy would be stagnant and shut up inside of you. This is an opportunity to express mercy and cause it to abound in a greater way unto you. Do not use the time of being done wrong to express judgment. Express the same mercy and goodness unto others that I have given you when you deserved judgment. My love is shed abroad in your heart. That love is giving you the desire to forgive and abound unto a better relationship with others who have been too weak to love as they ought to love. Pity those who are weak in their relationship with me. Do not take me for granted, but rejoice that you are in your right mind to love even those who do not love you. Seek more charity in this hour of cold love. You have not suffered from the coldness of love because I have given you a freshness of Rhema in a time of a famine of the hearing of the words of God. The fire of my word has warmed your love, and now you abound unto the victory of love. Love will overcome a multitude of sins. Rejoice.

RE: RHEMA - Lay Up Mercy In the Vault of Heaven, and You Will Be Able To Stand In the Evil Days Ahead

We can forsake our own mercy, or we can treat it like a treasure. Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy. As we freely give away mercy, we are investing in something better than stocks and bonds. It will return to us in so many ways and from so many directions. Mercy is multiplied in the mouth of those who will not mix regret with grace. With the same measure that we meet, it shall be measured to us again. As we forgive and have mercy by the barrel and truck load, it will return to us again. If all we give out is a sparing thimble full, then that is the measure that will measure our mercy when we need it. In the days that we live, there is such gross darkness and evil present that we need to be dispensers of mercy with a greater urgency that the drug dealers. So many broken hearts and wounded spirits will only be healed by those who have tender hearts and gentle spirits. God has called us to erase the scribbling of sin and the graffiti of the canvas of the hearts marred by sin. As we engage in this, we may come to a time when we or our own family needs mercy, and then there will be abundance in the field we have sown in and in the account we have deposited in. We have been so blessed by his grace and mercy, why should we not want everyone to be as blessed as we are?

RE: RHEMA - The Size of the Miracle Is Never Bigger Than Our God

Old Testament believers were exhorted to underline the magnitude of his greatness. In the Psalms, the Hebrew word for greatness means to be multiplied by myriads or millions. When you multiply the greatest entity in all creation, that it cannot even contain, by millions, the degree of greatness is beyond any word or measure that we can express. Particles that are below atomic size are filled with the greatest powers known to man. When we understand that massive objects are filled with such subatomic particles that are unseen to the eye and yet filled with enough power to annihilate the massive object, then the Spirit of the Almighty that we cannot see is truly able to do the exceeding beyond our stretched abilities to grasp. Our need is his desire to fulfill. He has, by his grace, given us all things freely. He will never hold us hostage over the degree of difficulty of the need or the failures that may be going on in our lives at the same time. When we are weak, he is strong to supply!

(Continued)

I placed the kingdom of God inside of you. Now do not sell it, for it is the truth. Buy the truth, and do not sell it. There are no treasures in this life and the life to come that are worth what I have given you. I have touched you this morning with a renewed desire for prayer. Now the effectual prayers that I will cause you to pray shall avail much. I have purified your heart by faith. Now abides faith, hope, and charity. The greatest of these is charity. Be not barred out of victory's zone any longer. Allow charity to reign, and you will enter into new dimensions of ministry and life. Come into the zone of victory, and enjoy its full benefits. There is no lack in me.

256. Why is there lack in you?

Walk uprightly before me, and you shall not want any good thing. I have ordered your steps. Now set your face as a flint, and be not discouraged by the stares of devils and wicked people. They are in another kingdom, and their power is futile against you. I have given you power. You have received the Holy Ghost; therefore, power is yours.

257. Is my power weak against the things that have come against you?

Rise up, and possess all things, for all things are yours. The word is nigh you even in your mouth and in your heart: that is, the word of faith, which you preach; that if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and shall believe in your heart that God hath raised him from the dead, you shall be saved, for with the heart, man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation. You shall not be ashamed. I am not a respecter of persons. I am rich unto all that call upon me. Whosoever shall call upon my name, shall be saved. There are people calling on my name. Go and give them the words that I have placed in your heart. There are many that wait on a preacher so that they may hear what to believe.

258. How shall they believe in someone of whom they have not heard?

259. How shall they hear without a preacher?

I am come that you might have life and that more abundantly. You have lived far beneath the level of life that I can afford. I have laid up wealth for you. Do not buy into the mentality that I do not want you to be wealthy.

260. Why have I laid up the wealth of the sinner for you if I did not want you to possess it?
