EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

+       Those of My children who are NOT walking in an absolute faith [trust in Me] and obedience will NEVER understand [appraise properly] the words and actions of those who do! Because they, themselves, believe that they are carrying out My Will [when, in reality, they are operating in their "own" strength and understanding] their perception of My Will concerning My obedient ones is judged [discerned] by them [unrighteously] according to what relationship the words and actions of those walking in faith, love and obedience have to their own self-serving "agendas". Because My Spirit is ALWAYS in perfect enmity [exactly opposite to in motivation - righteous and God-serving as opposed to unrighteous and self-serving] with the "flesh" [old nature] - and the "flesh" with My Spirit [Galatians 5:16-23] - they are, therefore, incapable of discerning all things from any other position than that of their own darkened understanding and, thus, they are continually found calling that which is righteous - unrighteous, and that which is unrighteous - righteous. In this hour, I am calling each and every one of My children to "rise higher" - far, far above the trappings of this present world system and its ways, and into the heavenly realms [Ephesians 2:6] in order that they might have eyes to see and ears to hear that which is truly of Me. Truly I say to you, I have only one course for each of My children and that is for them to walk on the narrow path of perfect obedience - a perfect obedience that is the spontaneous fruit of one having "both feet' firmly planted in the Kingdom from the position of a heart "wholly" given [Luke 10:27]. The hour is late, and no longer will I tolerate to ANY degree the unrighteous judgements and false accusations that have become rampant in the midst of many areas of the church at large. For it is time for a Glorious Church to rise in the earth - a holy Church that is free from every element of demonic influence [James 3:13-18]; a Church both possessed and consumed by My Spirit - Who is the Spirit of Love, Truth, Wisdom and Revelation, Obedience, Righteousness and Holiness.

        ...."Now we have not received the spirit [that belongs to] the world, but the [Holy] Spirit Who is from God, [given to us] that we might realize and comprehend and appreciate the gifts [of divine favor and blessing so freely and lavishly] bestowed on us by God. And we are setting these truths forth in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the [Holy] Spirit, combining and interpreting spiritual truths with spiritual language [to those who possess the Holy Spirit]. But the natural, nonspiritual man does not accept or welcome or admit into his heart the gifts and teachings and revelations of the Spirit of God, for they are folly (meaningless nonsense) to him; and he is incapable of knowing them [of progressively recognizing, understanding, and becoming better acquainted with them] because they are spiritually discerned and estimated and appreciated. But the spiritual man tries all things [he examines, investigates, inquires into, questions, and discerns all things], yet is himself to be put on trial and judged by no one [he can read the meaning of everything, but no one can properly discern or appraise or get an insight into him]. For who has known or understood the mind (the counsels and purposes) of the Lord so as to guide and instruct Him and give Him knowledge? But we have the mind of Christ (the Messiah) and do hold the thoughts (feelings and purposes) of His heart [Isa. 40:13]".... 1 Corinthians 2:12-16 The Amplified Translation
