EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[january 14th 2008]

[part 1 of 2]


+ It is a time wherein each and every one of My children must begin to stand in "all" of the provision that I have made for them in Christ. For failure to be "wholly" dependent upon Me in this hour will most certainly end in those who come under pressure from the Enemy denying My purposes and plans [the true Church] - the end result being a departure from some aspect of My Word [Will]. Many of My children have looked upon the call to "perfect obedience" in a very casual manner, but truly I say to you, unless they measure "fully" this "command" they will in no way be prepared to stand in this evil day. Many of My children "worry" and are "anxious" over these words "perfect obedience" but they are viewing this command through "carnal eyes" - that is, they have "allowed" their soul and body to remain, to some degree, in a position of dominance over their spirit - and this is a most dangerous situation for ANY of My children to be in at any time! Quite simply, many have stumbled over the "absoluteness" of My divine requirement [Luke 10:27] because they continue to "allow" themselves to be ruled by a "sin-consciousness" rather than a "righteousness-consciousness". It is when My children begin to hearken to the voice of My Spirit in even the smallest details of their lives that they will be in the "right place" at the "right time" - at "all times" - because, in their obedience to Me, their spirit shall "maintain" an absolute dominance over soul and body [Proverbs 4:23] and, thus, make them [the soul and body] the servants rather than the master. Satan's warfare against those who are seeking to live godly lives in Christ Jesus, is against their spirit [through their soul and body] and truly I say to you, if he is "allowed" continually to tread down the spirit of a man, then, through his evil schemes, their lives and their ministries, will be "dominated" by the law of sin and death [the fruit of which is darkness] rather than the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. Have not these words which I have spoken already been confirmed in many parts of My "church"? Has not darkness "seemed" to win the day when one measures what has been done "in My Name" to what I have called My people to? Truly I say to you, darkness will NOT win the day for I am about to "come on the scene" - and enter into the midst of those who truly love Me!
