Thoughts Higher Than Mine_Living Word Chronicle

I made the sun. I can command it, and it will not rise. I made the stars. I can seal them up, and they will not shine. I made all things, and I have all power. From the dust, I created man. The wonder of this accomplishment should enlighten your understanding and instill confidence within you. I will take the things that have no shape and fashion them into living dreams before your eyes. I will take the dusty things before your eyes and frame miracles beyond your comprehension. Be not discouraged by the dust in your presence. I will use these things that seem like only dust and formulate structures of wonder. Do you believe?

(RHEMA: The Creative Power of God Is Working Daily)

God made the sun. He can command it, and it will not rise. He made the stars. He can seal them up, and they will not shine. He made all things, and he has all power. From the dust, he created man. The wonder of this accomplishment enlightens my understanding and instills confidence within me. He will take the things that have no shape and fashion them into living dreams before my eyes. He will take the dusty things before my eyes and frame miracles beyond my comprehension. I will not be discouraged by the dust in my presence. God will use these things that seem like only dust and formulate structures of wonder. I believe this.

The Blinding Light of God's Glory Skipping On the Mountains of Life

You are not alone in this pasture of life, but you are dwelling with brethren and sisters of a common faith. Dwell with them in unity and harmony. Be not drawn away from the spirit of unity and peace, for my spirit will not strive with the disharmony of the hour. Those who do not desire unity and peace shall look upon the hinder parts of the church as it ascends out of this world. The hinder parts of the church shall be seen by the sowers of discord and unruly believers, for only the pure in heart shall be caught away. Be not beguiled by the spirit of discord, which runs through the church. You cannot run with the legs of the sowers of evil. Their legs are powered by another spirit and not the spirit of truth.

I have freed you from bondage; therefore, return not to the wallow and the vomit of your past life. Press toward the mark before you. You can hit the mark of righteousness through faith, which is in me. I have called you to overcome these things before you. Look not into the mouth of the devouring lions of trouble, but look to the hills of salvation. Your help has come skipping on the mountains of life; therefore, look not into the pit of trouble. Its belly will never be satisfied. Do not be a part of its diet, but let it continue to hunger for your life.

I have designed you to be a part of my purpose and my plan. Lean not to the understanding of your own mind. Your mind is a limited source of limited knowledge, but the mind of Christ is the source of unlimited knowledge and ability. Come and see the great things which are being shown unto the Church in this hour. I have brought you to the threshold of great victories. The blinding light of my glory has already caused your enemies to retreat. Do not look at the dust of their heels, but look at this place of rest in my presence where joy is flowing as a river. The bed of this river is not seen, for its bed is from the heavens. The bed of the river of life has my rock of revelation as its bottom. Now look no longer at the dust from the heels of damnation. My finger and my authority have judged already, and damnation shall be thrown into the lake of fire.

The spirit of error has gone around your life for the last few weeks. You have gone in circles as you have watched the dust from its feet. You shall be dizzy with confusion and trampled by the pressure of its toronadic expression if you continue to look upon the display of this spirit. Look away from this performance in the dark, and look at the finished work of Calvary. When you have looked away again to my finished work, then shall you behold the benefits of redemption and the activity of my word working on your behalf.

Have you believed in vain?

I say, "Nay. You have not believed in vain, but you have believed unto my righteousness and unto my salvation." The door of the glorious victory of my cross and my blood is being expressed this moment. Rise up from the dust of error's heels, and shout for the glorious triumph of faith, for my faithfulness has overwhelmed the dust of error and blown it away with the breath of life. I do breathe upon you and grant you the true liberty of the gospel and of salvation. You have bought the truth. Do not sell it.

RE: RHEMA - The Blinding Light of God's Glory Skipping On the Mountains of Life

God come to us as our beloved skipping on the hills and the mountains. His power can melt the hills and cause the mountains to tremble at his presence. He has come to us to draw us closer to himself in this hour. Harmony and unity with him are of the highest priority. If the enemy can distract our focus or cause us to get involved in the secondary things, he will have put a road block in our path. Darkness will be exposed by the light of God's glory. If men seek their own glory, they will be exposed as a fraud. God will see to it that the foolish and the liar will have the same demise in public opinion. Some spirits are like the dust of the streets. God will send a flood in the streets of our lives, and the dirt and these spirits will be washed down the storm drains of the Spirit. His glory is about to be revealed in such glory that at the evening time, it shall be light and will be like a small candle compared to the blazing flood lamp of power that God will turn on. Truth will triumph over the terror tactics of the devil.

CONFUSION, ERROR, AND DISHARMONY

I am not alone in this pasture of life, but I am dwelling with brethren and sisters of a common faith. I purpose to dwell with them in unity and harmony. I am determined not to be drawn away from the spirit of unity and peace, for God's spirit will not strive with the disharmony of the hour. Those who do not desire unity and peace shall look upon the hinder parts of the church as it ascends out of this world. The hinder parts of the church shall be seen by the sowers of discord and unruly believers, for only the pure in heart shall be caught away. I am not beguiled by the spirit of discord, which runs through the church. I cannot run with the legs of the sowers of evil. Their legs are powered by another spirit and not the spirit of truth.

The Lord has freed me from bondage; therefore, I will not return to the wallow and the vomit of my past life. I press toward the mark before me. I can hit the mark of righteousness through faith, which is in him. He has called me to overcome these things before me. I will not look into the mouth of the devouring lions of trouble, but I will look to the hills of salvation. My help has come skipping on the mountains of life; therefore, I will look not into the pit of trouble. Its belly will never be satisfied. I will not be a part of its diet, but I choose to let it continue to hunger for my life.

Jesus has designed me to be a part of his purpose and his plan. I will not lean to the understanding of my own mind. My mind is a limited source of limited knowledge, but the mind of Christ is the source of unlimited knowledge and ability. I will come and see the great things which are being shown unto the Church in this hour. He has brought me to the threshold of great victories. The blinding light of God's glory has already caused my enemies to retreat. I do not look at the dust of their heels, but I purpose to look at this place of rest in God's presence where joy is flowing as a river.

RE: RHEMA - Fulfill Obedience, and Have a Readiness To Revenge All Disobedience

A while back I was wrestling with the idea that I was just ranting and going on in my own feelings. God stopped me and said, "I note even the sighs of my people. Do not ever think that I would never be listening to even your groans. Every word of my people is precious to me."

I knew that as I spoke, even in my imagination, that God would many times rush in with a response that would take my breath away. Our enemy has done his best to silence us as he did with Jeremiah. God will silence the lie into a faint wind that the thunder of the trumpets of prophecy will drown out. As we continue to relate to God's leading, he will demolish the reaching incursions of the enemy that comes against us.

(Continued)

I am the Lord, your God, the builder of the Church. I have started a good work in you.

266. Will I end in a bad work?

I am the author and the finisher of your faith.

267. Have I started faith and not provided the means to finish this faith?

Do not fear wealth. Seize it.

268. Have I laid up the wealth of the sinner for you and not planned for you to be wealthy?

The icons of this world are living out examples of the evil devises of the evil one. The evil one has glorified sin. My people are imitating evil acts instead of the godly example placed on display by me in the Spirit. Go on. Direct my people's attention to Christ's example. The lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life are the enticements used by these icons. Many are worldly because they are ignorant of these devices. I have shown you the end of these acts of ignorance. The wages of all sin is death.

269. Why be sentenced to death when you can be an inheritor to life?

The end of the glory that the devil puts on display is hell.

270. Are you prepared to go there?
