EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER
["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

In the same way that there is a distinct difference between a supernatural hope
and a natural hope [supernatural hope being based on a "revelation"
of My Word {Will} - the origin of which is in Heaven, and natural hope based on
what can be discerned through the five physical senses in the natural
{physical} realm] there is also a distinct difference between the exercising
of a supernatural patience and the exercising of a natural patience.
Supernatural patience [like supernatural hope] has its foundation in a revelation
of My Word [Will], and is exercised through a steadfast faith [which is
continually "activated" by love] and obedience - a faith and
obedience that CANNOT fail to inherit the fullness of the promise and divine
blessing. As the "force of patience" is continually released into
[and over] any given situation it also opens the door for the release of
whatever other Kingdom "forces" [righteousness, wisdom, faith, love]
are necessary - and, thus, it allows Me to carry out My highest purpose and, in
My divine ordering, unfold all things perfectly [on ALL fronts]. It is through
the exercising of this supernatural patience by those who have been faithful to
"hold fast the vision" that I will now move powerfully to cause ALL
things [concerning My Church and My Kingdom] to come into
their "fullness" in ways that are exceeding abundantly beyond all
that one could have ever imagined.
The exercising
of a natural "patience" still maintains an element of self-desire [in most cases the
desire to see something come to pass for their own sake and benefit], and serves only
to activate "soulish forces" [fear, impatience, self-righteousness,
double-mindedness etc]. This profits NOTHING where My Church and My Kingdom are
concerned - the "exercising" of it being totally dependent upon the
degree that the one exercising the natural patience can carry on in their own
strength and understanding or see "results" that are satisfactory to
their "flesh" [agenda]. Ultimately, the one found exercising a
natural patience will give up - being fully persuaded in their "own"
thinking [by a "spirit of disheartenment"] that what they
were "standing for" [in their unbelief] was a hopeless
cause [or not My Will] all along. This is precisely why one must
ALWAYS be found seeking a "burning" [active] revelation of My Will in
all things for it is ONLY from this place of "abiding" in revelation
knowledge that they will be able to enter into My divine order [Will] for their
life and ministry - a divine order that is a sure sign that one has
"both" feet planted firmly in My Kingdom.
