EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[february 13th 2010]


+ Everything concerning the Glorious Church and the Kingdom in this final hour will be established by "revelation" in the midst of My people - and revelation, alone. For truly I say to you, I have ALREADY prepared My "best" in EVERY facet of life and ministry for each one of My beloved children from BEFORE the foundations of the earth, and it is through their "obedience" [a revelation of My Will carried through to its fulfillment in and by the power of My Spirit, alone] that they will just simply walk right into the "fullness" of all that I have planned for them [ministry, divine connections/relationships, finances, etc.] [2 Peter 1:2-4]. Their "path" has ALREADY been both laid out and prepared - and, thus, as one continually seeks My face [heart] for a revelation of My Will, and they take the simple steps of obedience [faith], day in and day out in the power of My Spirit, they shall SURELY "inherit" the "fullness" of the blessing. For, truly I say to you, ALL that I have prepared for them will continually overtake them and unfold before them, and whatever they ask [desire] from this position of abiding in My Presence will come to pass, sometimes immediately, sometimes not BUT ALWAYS in My perfect timing with a view to the accomplishing of My perfect purpose - not only in their lives but also in the lives of all those I have placed in their sphere of existence. Many of My children are attempting to try and get Me to "do something" on their behalf when, in reality, it is ALREADY done. I am a loving Father, and I withhold NO "good thing" [that which I have specially prepared for them] from those of My children who walk "uprightly" before Me. What does it truly mean to walk uprightly before Me: it means for one to abide in My Presence [John 14:21,23] and, from that "place of abiding", go forth in faith, love and obedience to do great exploits for the Kingdom.

Indeed, as one enters into this place of abiding they will soon come to realize [gain a revelation of the spiritual reality] that their healing [and divine health], divine prosperity, the "ability" [Grace] to walk in love in EVERY relationship [and in obedience with a pin-point accuracy] was accomplished at the Cross, and that they need only access it continually through an absolute faith and trust in Me - in order to walk perfectly before Me [Matthew 5:48]. How I long to see My children walk with BOTH feet firmly planted in the Kingdom - for this is the place wherein true [divine] faith is continually exercised, and it is the place in which My Beloved Son walked at ALL times in His earthly ministry - as will My Glorious Church. Those that will hearken to these words in this hour will immediately be "catapulted" to a place [spiritually speaking] that they never even thought possible this side of Heaven, itself - for truly I say to you, ALL things are possible [available] to the one who will simply believe and trust in Me. Nothing for the Kingdom and the Church can be established or accomplished apart from My Grace. There is no aspect of "salvation" [from the New Birth to the fullness of every Covenant blessing] to be "earned". Healing [or the supernatural ability to live in divine health] cannot be "earned". Financial prosperity cannot be "earned" [although many in the midst of My people are still attempting to do so through a "mental ascension" to the Kingdom principles found in My Word]. For the finances I have for My children have ALREADY been set aside for them IN CHRIST and, so, as they go forth in obedience [I did not say "good intentioned" works - which are rooted in self-will and self-desire] they, THEN, access My Grace [on a continual basis] thus, allowing the necessary Kingdom-finances to "overtake" them - as they continue to focus on their obedience and NOT the flow of blessing [in whatever form], itself [Psalm 62:10b].

"catapulted" - to thrust forward and upward; move quickly or suddenly;

Let it be CLEARLY understood by each and every one of My precious children that "true" obedience [again, a revelation of My Will carried through to its fulfillment in and by the power of My Spirit, alone] on their part is THE "perfect" expression of their love [thanksgiving] towards Me [John 14:15]. It [obedience] has absolutely nothing to do with "performance" [which is rooted and grounded in fear - and the perception that I am a stern "taskmaster" who will only love or reward based on one's efforts] it has to do with a heart that is "wholly" given to Me - a heart that desires to glorify Me to the greatest degree in ALL that they say and do. In these days, let each and every one of My precious children be found entering into an absolute faith and trust in Me - in the secret place of My Presence! For, truly I say to you, it is time to do great things [John 14:12] - and blessed [empowered] in EVERY way is the one who will be found trusting in Me in this final hour with an absolute faith and trust!

...."For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand [anywhere else]; I would rather be a doorkeeper and stand at the threshold in the house of my God than to dwell [at ease] in the tents of wickedness. For the Lord God is a Sun and Shield; the Lord bestows [present] grace and favor and [future] glory (honor, splendor, and heavenly bliss)! No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly. O Lord of hosts, blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man who trusts in You [leaning and believing on You, committing all and confidently looking to You, and that without fear or misgiving]!"....
