EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER
["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]
[october 31ST 2010]
+ Many of My
children [in their own thinking] are not afraid to "die" [physically] for they have a
revelation of the Eternal Life that is theirs, in Christ [as My sons and
daughters]. But, in many cases, they seem afraid [are hesitant] to
"live" [experience the fullness of superabundant life in the
Kingdom] and, thus, enter fully into the liberty of a life that is both
Spirit-filled and Spirit-led. One cannot enter into the Kingdom apart from the
forsaking [by faith] of ALL fear and pride - for it is certain that the failure [refusal] to
"die" to one's "self" [on a daily basis] will SURELY open
the door wide to a life [existence] far, far below the glorious destiny that
I have prepared for them from before the foundations of the earth. It is ONLY
the continual accessing of My Grace [through the exercising of a continual
faith and trust in Me] [Romans 5:1-2 KJV] that will empower one to both
overcome and fulfil ALL that I created them for, in Christ. Therefore, NOW is
the time for those who have held to [maintained] ANY aspect of
the "lower [soul] life" to rise up [stir themselves up] in the power of
My Spirit [Who is the Spirit of obedience]! For these are the days wherein I
am "gathering together" My faithful ones [both in
"spirit" and physically] from every corner of the earth, and it
is certain that the fruit [result] of these things will be both immediate and glorious - with
great and far-reaching effect, right through to the end of the age.
"lower
[soul] life" - a life wherein the soul and body remain in a place of
dominance [control] over the spirit man [and the fruit thereof].
