EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[january 24th 2008]


+ There is a "certain" current of unbelief [darkness] that has been "allowed to rise up" in the heart of many of those who are walking in "ministry" at this time. And yet this unbelief, and the ground thereof, is "undetectable" by those walking in it - due to their failure to fellowship with Me, daily, in the "inner chamber". Through this unbelief [darkness], a spirit of "self-exaltation" works continually to subtly "lead" these "ministers" into a place where they will continually lean upon their "own" understanding concerning their "service". It is ONLY close and intimate fellowship with Me that will prevent self-exaltation from creeping into one's ministry. Indeed, as I send My holy apostles and prophets forth, every "foundation" [through revelation] that I call them to lay shall have as its root and source, the command for all those who serve Me to walk before Me, and fellowship with Me in My presence. This is not something that is just required of those I have called to a position of leadership in the "true" Church, this is something that is required of "every born-again believer" - that they might fulfil their perfect destiny, in Christ.

As horrendous as the "network" of carnality [fleshly activity] amongst My children has been as I look out across the earth, in the case of each child of Mine not walking in the fullness of My will for their lives, there needs to be only a "minor adjustment" - a letting go of "all those things" that fill their time with empty and futile thoughts and actions. For if they would only hearken unto the voice of My Spirit, and cast down the "idols" in their lives they would surely and suddenly have "large blocks of time" in which to "immerse" themselves in My Word and in prayer [communication with Me]. This is the only way that any of My children can walk in the "fullness" of all that I have called them to in this final hour. It is also the only way that they are able to enter into their "proper" place in My "true Church [Glorious Church]. For to walk in the fullness of My power means that they must come to that place of an "absolute emptiness". That place where the "flesh" has been rendered ineffective by the power of My Word [and the Spirit of the Cross], and the power of the Blood - in order that the "torrents" of My life that I desire to pour forth through My holy vessels not be "impeded" in any way [John 7:38]. 

There needs to be only one thing in the forefront of the hearts and minds of My children, as they go forth into each new day, and that is to guard their heart with "all diligence" [Proverbs 4:23], and continually seek from Me that which I require of them in that day as far as time in the "inner chamber". For truly I say to you, as My children "seek" to walk in perfect obedience, they shall become a most holy sign and wonder to all those who cross their path, and I shall surely bring those walking in perfect obedience together and, corporately, they shall swarm the strongholds of the Evil One - and they shall shine brightly in the midst of this crooked and perverse generation; and indeed, the veil that had blinded the eyes of many shall be "rent", and it is in this time that all those in the earth who "desire" to be free shall be set free [Acts 2:21]!
