EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[January 21st 2010]


+ I was in no mood [disposition] to tread lightly then [just after Calvary], and I am in no mood [disposition] to tread lightly now on the behalf of My beloved ones - those who have denied themselves to take up their "cross" to follow Me [Luke 9:23]! Truly I say to you, I have seen and heard everything and, NOW, I shall move forth to vindicate My faithful ones perfectly on every front - and I shall remove every "stumbling block" [hindrance] in the midst of all those who truly love Me.

"mood" - a state or quality of feeling at a particular time; a distinctive emotional quality or character;

"disposition" - the predominant or prevailing tendency of one's spirits;

"stumbling block" - those who set their mind on the pursuit of self-glory and the praises of men, and not on the Will of God - for either themselves or the people of God; 

...."And behold, a severe earthquake had occurred, FOR [because] an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled away the stone and sat upon it. And his appearance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. The guards shook for fear of him and became like dead men".... Matthew 28:2-4 NASB  

          ...."The Son of Man will send forth His angels [messengers], and they will gather out of His kingdom all stumbling blocks, and those who commit lawlessness, and will throw them into the furnace of fire; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear".... Matthew 13: 41-43 NASB

          ...."But He turned and said to Peter, Get behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me; for you are not setting your mind on God's interests, but man's".... Matthew 16:23 NASB
