EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[december 31st 2009]


+ Why is there so much "angst" in the midst of My people? Am I not faithful to finish the work that "I" have begun? Am I not a Faithful Creator? Am I not worthy to be trusted? Truly I say to you, blessed is the one who will continually lay down their soul-life [mind, will, emotions] to pick up their cross to follow Me in this most glorious hour.

"angst" - a feeling of anxiety or apprehension [fear] often accompanied by depression;

...."Therefore, those also who suffer according to the will of God shall entrust their souls to a faithful Creator in doing what is right"..... 1 Peter 4:19 NASB

...."And may the God of peace Himself sanctify you through and through [separate you from profane things, make you pure and wholly consecrated to God]; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved sound and complete [and found] blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah). Faithful is He Who is calling you [to Himself] and utterly trustworthy, and He will also do it [fulfill His call by hallowing and keeping you]".... 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 The Amplified Translation

...."Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me. "For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it".... Matthew 16:24-25 NASB
