EXHORTATIONS FROM
THE FATHER
["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]
[march 8th 2010]
+ The
fear of being "misunderstood" is rooted and grounded in a deep desire
for acceptance and approval from "flesh and blood". This particular
fear is always controlled by a "spirit of idolatry, and keeps the one bound
by it from entering into a "perfect reverence" before Me. However, as
one determines to draw near to Me in the "inner chamber" [James 4:8] I will surely
draw near to them, and I shall change the desires of their heart to conform to
My perfect image and plan for them - and, thus, no more shall they bow their
knee to the fear of man in any of its forms [Romans 5:5; 1 John 4:18].
...."For
am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men?
If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a bond-servant of
Christ".... Galatians 1:10 NASB
+ I
am about to pour out My "goodness" upon [and then through] My
faithful and obedient ones in this hour.
...."Surely
[or only] goodness, mercy, and unfailing love shall follow me all the days of
my life, and through the length of my days the house of the Lord [and His
presence] shall be my dwelling place".... Psalms 23:6 The Amplified
Translation
...."[What,
what would have become of me] had I not believed that I would see the Lord's
goodness in the land of the living!".... Psalms 27:13 The Amplified
Translation
...."I will
fill the soul of the priests with abundance, And My people will be satisfied
with My goodness," declares the LORD".... Jeremiah 31:14 NASB
...."For
once you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord; walk as children of
Light [lead the lives of those native-born to the Light]. For the fruit (the
effect, the product) of the Light or the Spirit [consists] in every form of
kindly goodness, uprightness of heart, and trueness of life".... Ephesians
5:8-9 The Amplified Translation
