EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[MARCH 28TH 2009]


+ The "deferral" of hope can find its origin in two sources. One, internally, through the leaning upon one's "own" understanding [the forsaking of a revelation of My Will through fear and unbelief]. Two, through another's failure to walk by revelation and, thus, do their part in the carrying out of My Will where that one is concerned. In the former case, one must forsake all "mental" ascension to My Word [and the double-mindedness [James 1:8; James 4:8] that is its fruit] - thus allowing the "revelation" of My Will to once again become strong and vibrant in their heart. This will "activate" the faith and patience necessary to inherit the fullness of the promise. In the latter case, one must draw near to Me, and set themselves to steadfast prayer and intercession for the one who is causing a potential deferral of hope, externally - through their failure to adhere to My Will. In both cases, a deep and thorough repentance will surely lead all concerned into the fullness of My divine purpose - on every front.

...."Hope deferred makes the heart sick, But [godly] desire fulfilled is a tree of life"....  Proverbs 13:12 NASB
