EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

                                                            ["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

+       One does not give up what one "loves" [lusts after through self-desire] unless it is superceded by a greater love [godly desire].

+       Up until now, the vast majority of My children have come to "accept" a "mediocre Christian life". At a time when the deepest desire of My heart is to reveal Myself in My "absoluteness" in every aspect of My children's lives many are "content" with a continued mixture of My Word and the "world". But truly I say to you, this shall end "abruptly"! And all those who continue to "dishonour" My Word shall be "cut off" [due to their own self-will, and failure to commune with Me in the "inner chamber] as the fruit of their words and actions, and they shall move further and further out into darkness [the world]. They pridefully proclaim that they are still in the "way", but truly I say to you, their "way" is not of Me! And, thus, they shall "allow" themselves to be used as vessels of persecution against their very own brothers and sisters who are walking in the faith, love and obedience that pleases Me so. And though they are "family" there shall result a "clear separation" between those of My children who love [obey] Me, and those who do not
[Malachi 3:16-4:3] - and it is certain that "all" those who seek Me shall "know" which group of My children is truly of Me and which group is not. And so shall each man be presented with a clear option in this most critical hour. On the one hand, My "spotless and unblemished" Church, an ever-expanding "vessel" of My Glory and Light, and on the other hand, the dead and lifeless form of "religion" that acknowledges Me with their lips, but whose hearts are far from the place that they should be - considering their "relationship" [as children] with Me. But even in their folly I shall not forget them, and I shall send forth My holy apostles and prophets and they shall "devastate" the "strongholds" of the doctrines and traditions that have been a product of the "mental ascension" of those ones who have not drawn near to Me - a mental ascent made continually stronger by their "fellowship" with the world and its ways - a fellowship that gives Satan an "inroad" into their lives - on a continual basis.
