EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[SEPTEMBER 7TH 2010]


+ Blessed [empowered and prosperous] are those who have remained faithful [loyal] to Me in the face of much adversity - and, thus, to those I have sent to them for their edification and spiritual well-being. For it is certain that Satan has continually attempted to destroy that which I have sought to establish through My holy bondservants and handmaidens but even through much persecution and reproach My faithful ones have stayed the course - through a continual dependence upon My Grace. Truly I say to you, great is their reward - both in this age and in the glorious ages to come!

...."You are those who have stood by Me in My trials".... Luke 22:28 NASB

...."MEANWHILE SAUL, still drawing his breath hard from threatening and murderous desire against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest And requested of him letters to the synagogues at Damascus [authorizing him], so that if he found any men or women belonging to the Way [of life as determined by faith in Jesus Christ], he might bring them bound [with chains] to Jerusalem. Now as he traveled on, he came near to Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him, And he fell to the ground. Then he heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me [harassing, troubling, and molesting Me]? And Saul said, Who are You, Lord? And He said, I am Jesus, Whom you are persecuting. It is dangerous and it will turn out badly for you to keep kicking against the goad [to offer vain and perilous resistance]".... Acts 9:1-5 The Amplified Translation
