EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[AUGUST 31ST 2010]

Vision - I saw two mirrors. When I stepped in front of the first one I saw Jesus. When I stepped in front of the other I saw Satan [the fallen nature].

The Father spoke to me and said:

+ The first mirror is representitive of My Word [Jesus], and the second mirror is representitive of "self-focus" - the fruit of which is a continual leaning upon one's own strength and understanding. Many of My children [due to a lack of diligence] are standing in front of the wrong mirror - and, thus, darkness and confusion becomes the fruit of their "eyes" [focus]. It is of the utmost importance for My children to keep their eyes "fixed" [focused] on My Word - the spontaneous fruit of this being to meditate upon it day and night [and, thus, bring EVERY thought captive to a revelation of it in the process]. The Enemy has sent many "spirits of distraction" ["hindering spirits"] forth in this hour to derail as many as he possibly can from the narrow path of true Kingdom-living - and, thus, entrance into the fullness of their precious destiny in Christ. Therefore, let all those who truly love Me be found giving My Word preeminence - maintaining a "single eye" on every front in their diligent pursuit of the "reality" of My Kingdom.

...."Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty [emancipation from bondage, freedom] [Isa. 61:1, 2]. And all of us, as with unveiled face, [because we] continued to behold [in the Word of God] as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another; [for this comes] from the Lord [Who is] the Spirit".... 2 Corinthians 3:17-18 The Amplifed Translation

...."But be doers of the Word [obey the message], and not merely listeners to it, betraying yourselves [into deception by reasoning contrary to the Truth]. For if anyone only listens to the Word without obeying it and being a doer of it, he is like a man who looks carefully at his [own] natural face in a mirror; For he thoughtfully observes himself, and then goes off and promptly forgets what he was like. But he who looks carefully into the faultless law, the [law] of liberty, and is faithful to it and perseveres in looking into it, being not a heedless listener who forgets but an active doer [who obeys], he shall be blessed in his doing [his life of obedience]".... James 1:22-25 The Amplified Translation

...."Your eye is the lamp of your body; when your eye [your conscience] is sound and fulfilling its office, your whole body is full of light; but when it is not sound and is not fulfilling its office, your body is full of darkness. Be careful, therefore, that the light that is in you is not darkness. If then your entire body is illuminated, having no part dark, it will be wholly bright [with light], as when a lamp with its bright rays gives you light".... Luke 11:34-36 The Amplified Translation
