EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[april 1st 2007]

+       Many of My children, in this last hour, desire only to hear the words that proceed forth from "flesh and blood" rather than the absolute truths of My Word. Thus, they fix their eyes upon those whom "they" deem to be of Me, and hold fast to the words that proceed forth from their mouth - even though in many cases there is error [and a spirit of false prophecy] proceeding forth from that ministry. They have not sought Me in this matter, and because of this they have "allowed" themselves to be deceived. But truly I say to you, those who would "attempt" to represent Me, yet in their hearts there is only wickedness and the seeking after self-glory, shall surely fail in this hour, and as those who have attached themselves to them begin to see this, they will surely repent; and as they open their hearts to hear My voice THEN they shall be led into their "proper place [Kingdom-positioning].

+       If one has a fear of offending people, then compromise will set into their walk - and in seeking to please flesh and blood first and foremost, they shall surely be found to be displeasing Me.

JESUS:

+       As I walked day to day in My earthly ministry, I too had to face the struggles of this temporal realm, and indeed I felt restrained by the physical body that was given to Me. But in total dependence upon the Father and the words that He spoke to Me, I was both enabled and empowered to accomplish "all" of His will. To those who would walk in perfect obedience in this hour, there is the promise of their being filled with My presence, and as they allow themselves to be continually filled to a greater degree with each passing day [walking in all of the light that they have received], there shall be nothing that can defeat them or cause them to take their eyes off of Me. If one of My children did not "feel" in some way restrained, it would surely mean that their eyes were not "fixed" upon the Heavenly [Eternal] vision and the will of the Father. For it is faith and obedience that cause My faithful ones to walk in an area out beyond "time and space. For what are faith and obedience, but an "absolute" and continual dependence upon the things that are not seen!

+       In these days of the advent of the Glorious Church , the spirit of "rapture" [the fullness of joy] shall rest heavily upon those of My children who have opened wide their hearts to receive Me. As I walked this earth, My first and foremost objective was the accomplishing of My Father's will in every way, but truly I say to you, there was not one day that went by without Me acknowledging in some way [through faith and prayer], My heart-desire to be reunited with My Father in every way, and as I kept My priorities straight [obedience unto the death of the self-life] all of My prayers were answered - eternally. Truly I say to you, the heart that is wholly given to Me shall indeed have its deepest desires fulfilled in this most glorious season!

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[april 2nd 2007]

+       In this last hour Satan has set for himself a trap from which he shall not escape! As the forces of "anti-Christ" go forth to lure and persuade men into doing those things which "seem  good" [but are not of Me] they shall not know what to do as "My" children begin to go forth in faith and obedience and in the power of My anointing - for it is certain that Satan shall not be able to find "recruits" who are willing to come face to face with My power.Therefore, the Evil One shall not be able to confront [in the eyes of men] My bondservants and handmaidens as they go forth in My Name, without "undoing" some of the work which he has already set in motion. By this I mean those who have been held captive to do his will in the area of "peace" and "ecumenism". Satan shall indeed be hesitant to confront those who are walking in love and worshipping Me in Spirit and in truth. Indeed you shall see My light and My power drive those who would align themselves against Me in this final hour, into their caves and hiding places; for it is the time of the advent of My "Glorious" Church, and for the revelation of My sons and daughters in the earth.

+       In this last hour it is My purpose, to do a great work in the earth. At no time in the history of My people did I ever call them to conform themselves to any "system" which has its roots and its origin in the "world". As I raise up many great ministries in this last hour, they shall go forth in faith and obedience to My Word alone - taking no thought whatsoever for any "false security" that might be temporarily derived through compromise. Go forth and do those things that I have given each of you to do, and I shall surely show you the better [higher] way - for indeed the world's systems are perishing to a greater degree with each passing day. Darkness and confusion have set in to such a great degree that many of My children through a "holding part back" have become "willing pawns" in the schemes Satan. One does not have to be conformed to the world systems in order to carry out My "business" in the earth! For truly I say to you, My Word and My Spirit are enough!

        In this last hour it shall be those who desire to live and succeed, who shall remove themselves from the "world system" in order to learn the "Kingdom principles" [absolute truths] that I have set forth in My Word. It is for this reason My children must be ready at all times to put forth My uncompromised Word, in order that the "captives" might be set free in EVERY area of their lives. So again you are able to see that it is not My will [desire] that My children conform themselves in any to the world system, but rather that they conform themselves to My system of doing things, thus enabling them to lead the way and guide the multitudes out of darkness. Truly I say to you, My Word alone [and the revealed knowledge of that Word] is the only standard by which one can set themselves in this last hour if they choose not to perish [be uncovered, unprotected] at the hands of the Evil One!

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[april 3rd 2007]

+       If My children truly wish to "extol" Me, they will obey My every command.

extol: to praise in the highest terms; exalt, laud;

+       One cannot discern the affairs [depths] of the heart by their five physical senses.

+       To have "fellowship" with someone or something, means that in their deepest heart of hearts there is some form of "agreement" with the person or thing they desire to fellowship with.

+       Bondage to time and space will cause My children to "feel" that their prayers are ineffective unless they can perceive the results with their five physical senses. Indeed, fervent effectual prayer transcends all time and space, for it is the power resting on the Words which are spoken that shall cause the physical manifestation to come, and this has absolutely nothing to do with time and space, but rather only faith in My Word, and the fact that I am watching over My Word to perform it [Jeremiah 1:12].

+       There are many dangers found in My children continuing on in their carnality, but certainly one of the greatest dangers is the "sin of presumption" - that is, presuming that they are in My perfect will and yet, in reality, they are far from Me. As My bondservants and handmaidens go forth in this last hour, the anointing that rests upon them shall surely cause those of My children who have been in an area of "presumption" to realize their folly, and because of this those who truly love Me shall be led back onto the proper path.

[april 4th 2007]

+       Operating in the "flesh" will produce nothing but death and corruption - until repentance is forthcoming. From the time that My children repent and get back on the path that I have for them, it is then that I am enabled to turn what would have been disastrous had they continued on the "broad path" into a blessing for all concerned. But never should My children believe that they can "sow to the flesh" and still reap some form of blessing for My Kingdom - for, truly I say to you there is nothing in the Kingdom that is apart from Christ - and the revelation that abides therein [John 15:5].

+       As My children you are indeed free from every form of death, and as this revelation becomes real in your hearts, you shall have no fear [of death or man], for it is only "wrong thinking" towards "death" [unbelief] that can "fuel" fear.

+       It is as "all" stumbling blocks - that is, the traditions and doctrines of men, and all rebellion - are removed from My Church, that My righteous ones shall shine forth as the sun. To the degree that My Spirit is allowed to flow unhindered through the hearts of those who truly serve Me, it is to that degree My "glorious" Church shall come into manifestation in the earth - both individually and corporately.

+       The deeper the revelation of Heaven [and the Heavenly vision] that My children have, the easier it is for them to put away the things of the temporal realm. For in having the "knowledge" of the ages to come, this present age [the temporal world and its problems] shall diminish in its importance in every way in the lives of My children, and they shall truly be found seeking first "the Kingdom" - and abiding in a place [spiritually] far above the "world" and its ways.

+       I am dealing strongly at this time with those who are called to a position of great authority in My Church. For those who would lead [serve] My army must walk with both of their feet planted firmly in the Kingdom - receiving ALL of their instructions from the Throne Room. And, they must not in any way be "influenced" by what they perceive with their five physical senses, but rather only that which is revealed to their heart by My Spirit - for "revelation" is the way of the Kingdom.

[april 5th 2007]

+       The reason My discipline "seems" not to be joyful in the lives of My children [Hebrews 12:4-13] is because in the beginning of their consecration and sanctification there still remains within them the tendency to "view" all things through the eyes of the flesh. But as they diligently pursue holiness, and as they separate themselves from the world and are continually transformed by the renewing of their minds, this same discipline becomes the joy of their heart because they now have a revelation of the fact that ALL of My discipline is for their greatest eternal [and temporal] good [benefit] that they might become partakers of My nature [2 Peter 1:2-4].

        Without the revelation that ALL that I do concerning them in this area of discipline, is for their greatest eternal benefit, they will not let go of "the ties that bind them", and in not believing that I am a rewarder of those that seek Me, they shall not diligently seek Me. Because of this, they shall not draw near to My Word, and thus the work that I desire to do in their heart shall be greatly hindered. From all of these things that I have just spoken one can easily see that the one who sets themselves in the position of abiding in My Word, shall allow the Holy Spirit to do the "deepest work of the Cross" in them at a more "accelerated" pace.

        As My children place themselves in a position wherein they expose themselves to the purifying fire of My Spirit, all that is not of Me shall be consumed - and truly I say to you, they shall come forth as gold, a fit vessel for My use in this most glorious hour.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[april 6th 2007]

JESUS:

+       The revelation knowledge that I am blessing My holy apostles and prophets with shall lift up My Church to Her rightful place in the earth. For indeed I have raised up a mighty army, a new wave, who shall go forth as one, in My Name. As the revelation of My absolute life goes forth through this last wave of My five-fold  ministry, death in all of its forms shall be put under their feet. Because there is no fear in the hearts of those whom I have chosen to lead the way in this last hour, Satan shall have "no opportunity" to even hinder their advance upon his strongholds.

        In this last hour My Church shall see the fulness of the apostolic and prophetic ministries that I have blessed Her with. There are certain ones whom I have chosen to do "special tasks" in this last hour, and truly I say to you, they shall be looked upon with great awe by the multitudes, for My power, and My power alone, shall rest upon them and they shall walk in the places I send them with hearts devoid of fear, intent only on carrying out the task that I have set before them; and they shall be viewed as sons and daughters of Almighty God because they are one with Me; and great signs and wonders shall follow them, and through them I shall establish the "local" [Glorious] Church throughout the earth in a mighty and everlasting way. I shall raise up many great "cities" [of spiritual refuge] to lead the way in this last hour and some of these cities [true spiritual environments] shall not be those cities which one might "think"; for My selections are not based on quantity, but rather the quality of heart; and because of My holy apostles and prophets entire cities shall fall under the power of My Spirit. Never before have signs and wonders such as the signs and wonders that shall follow this last wave of the five-fold ministry and those with them], been seen in the earth.

        Many, even at this late hour, refuse to recognize that My hand is upon My holy apostles and prophets; but truly I say to you, the time has come, and now is, wherein they shall no longer be able in any way to reject My ministry. For indeed all those who truly know Me refuse to take offense and refuse to walk outside of love, and in this I am well-pleased!  And because they take no offense at anything that Satan attempts to throw their way, My love is able to flow forth from them unhindered to bless My people, and to represent Me in the way that I desire to be represented; and those whose hearts have been abused and broken shall surely be restored unto Me.

        It is now the time of moving all of My bondservants and handmaidens into that place where I desire them to be and I shall bring together the prophets and the apostles and I shall establish them in the cities [true spiritual environments] from which they shall operate. All of My people must seek Me diligently in prayer in order that they might know the place that I have called them to, and that they might know those whom they are to be "associated" with. Truly I say to you, this is a matter of great importance, and Satan is attempting to lead many away from the place where I desire them to be, for it is certain that I do not have "two" places for My people to be and truly I say to you the time is short! Therefore, let all those who would serve Me, harken to the voice of My Spirit for when all have entered their "proper place", they shall see My Glory descend upon them and they shall go forth and do mighty deeds in My name!

        This is a time wherein I desire My people to proceed forth in every move and action they take, with great caution; refusing to move in any way big or small, until they have received the revealed knowledge of My will in their heart. In this way they shall "safeguard" against all the deceptions of the Evil One; for truly I say to you, there is not one who, in knowing those wondrous things that shall come to pass in My Glorious Church, would desire to be in the "wrong place". For I shall open up the heavens and pour forth blessings which shall thrill the hearts of My beloved ones in this most glorious hour!

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[april 7th 2007]

+       In My dealings with My children throughout the ages, My every action, judgement and word have been rooted and grounded in the deepest fibre of My nature, for I am love! And nothing that proceeds forth from My Spirit and My will [Word] could ever be separated from My nature! Because of the refusal of some of My children to put themselves in a position to be continually transformed by the renewing of their minds, they deem some of My actions to be harsh and uncaring - not realizing that the eyes through which they see are the darkened eyes of Satan, and their own past experiences. It is as My children forsake the foolish misconceptions of man and truly place all of their dependence upon My Word and My Spirit, that My love shall be shed abroad in their hearts to a continually greater degree and, because of this, they shall clearly see and understand the deepest thoughts and intentions of My heart towards them. If some of My children continue basing their faith on the lies of the Evil One instead of My Word, they shall surely begin to perish to a certain degree [Hosea 4:6a] - for they shall lack the revealed knowledge of My Word that they need to survive in this earth. The hour is late and the battle of the ages is upon them, and they must choose this day the side on which they shall stand [Joshua 24:14-15]!

+       Children love the discipline and reproof [Wisdom] that proceeds forth from My Spirit. As parents walk in [and entirely depend upon], the anointing that abides within them, their children shall grow in wisdom and in truth, and they shall have no fear of anything in this hour. For indeed it is a "critical spirit" and controlling spirit that so often hardens the hearts of little children. All that is critical controlling in nature issues forth from a heart that is "filled" with fear and selfishness - without exception. Therefore, as parents abide in My Word and My Word abides in them, My love [which is shed abroad in their hearts by the power of My Spirit] shall be poured forth upon their children. As it is with all of My children, it is of the utmost importance that no "unwholesome" word proceed forth from the mouths of parents, but only such a word as is good for the edification of the child, that the family might be built up and established in love. Most certainly there is a "direct correlation" between My Church and the family - for the Kingdom principles that cause them both to flourish in the earth are identical.

+       It is certain that all those things that are truly successful in this earth, have their source in My wisdom; but to those who would lean upon their own understanding, and upon the darkened wisdom of the world even what seems to be temporarily successful shall surely end in "absolute failure" in this hour. For this is the time of My great separation process and judgement - a "separation process and judgement" that shall cause "all" to be found standing either with Me in My Kingdom or against Me in the "world".

+       My children must let no unwholesome word proceed  form their mouths [Ephesians 4:29], but only such a word as is good for the building up of My Church in love, for the time is short and the hour is late. Let all those who love life and desire to see good days, refrain their tongue from evil and their lips from speaking deceit. For it is certain that the mouths of those who speak lies shall be stopped, and all unrighteousness shut its mouth in the presence of My Glory in this final hour [Psalm 107:40-43]!

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[april 8th 2007]

+       I am not slow about My promises as some count slowness. But because it is My will and My desire that not one soul should perish - and indeed that everyone who calls upon the name of Jesus might enter into the fullness of their inheritance in Him - I shall continue to the deepest work of the Cross in My children until such a time as "all" things are conformed to My will. From this, one can clearly see that those who hold fast to the world's concept of "time" in the receiving of My blessing still retain selfishness [self-desire] as their root motivation and, thus, the very thing they desire to receive from Me must be "withheld" until such a time as they come into "perfect accordance" with the thoughts and intentions of My heart - and, thus desire My perfect unfolding and order for their life and ministry. For truly I say to you, I withhold NO good [righteous] thing from those who walk uprightly before Me.

+       Not only do I require My children not to be moved by what they "feel", but they are not to be moved by what others feel. They are only to be moved by the revealed knowledge of My Word and the unction of My Spirit in "all" things.

+       The effects of the words spoken by My bondservants and handmaidens in this last hour shall come to pass at a greatly accelerated rate. For as My faithful ones saturate their hearts with My Word, overcoming faith shall rise up in their hearts and they shall fully believe that the words which they speak shall come to pass. For they will have no dependence whatsoever on physical circumstances or be influenced in any way by those things which they perceive with their five physical senses - and, thus, they shall do great and mighty exploits in and for My Kingdom.

+       Some events are about to take place that will cause all those who live an "imitation" [counterfeit] Christian life to see clearly [beyond a shadow of doubt] their need for a personal and intimate relationship with Me in the "inner chamber". And because of these events that shall take place they will be forced to scramble hurriedly into My presence [and the presence of those who walk with Me] or, in rejecting Me, by an act of their own will, they shall be attacked openly by the Evil One in this most critical hour.

+       Egotistical parents produce egotistical children. Holy parents produce holy children, and faithful parents produce fearless children!

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[april 9th 2007]

+       In many cases, those whom I have called as shepherds [pastors] have a very "shallow view" [or no view at all] of My eternal plans and purposes concerning the Glorious Church. Therefore, it is not surprising to see them reject My holy apostles and prophets, for if they do not understand the deepest thoughts and intentions of My heart or My will for the very Church which they themselves are called to build, how will they even be able to recognize those who I send to them for their edification? Truly I say to you, the hour has come in which I have chosen to reveal My holy apostles and prophets to My people - in the fulness of their ministry [office]. And I shall do it in ways that will astound even the hardest hearts. And great signs and wonders shall follow My holy ones, and all shall see and understand that it is My hand that is upon them. For death shall surely flee before them as My Spirit is poured forth through them - in torrents. In this hour, those "means" that Satan has used to hinder the advent of My sent ones shall be both exposed and consumed by the fire of My Spirit, and all those who truly love Me shall have their eyes opened wide and, thus, they will no longer bow their knee to the lies of Satan. Because of these things, all shall see what it truly means to serve Me, and to abide in the absolute life and light and love that I have provided for them, in Christ.

+       There should never be any doubt in the hearts of My children as to how they shall accomplish My will, but only the strong desire to "know" what My will is. For in having My will "revealed" to their heart, I shall surely empower them in all the things that they set their hand to in obedience.

+       As My children let go of the fear of what others think they shall see clearly that their most important task is to continually lay down their lives [through self-denial] in order that they might be a pure and open vessel of My life and power.

+       It is only selfishness that could cause one to move farther away from Me, rather than closer to Me. For I draw all things that are in accordance with Me to Myself, but constantly "repel" all that proceeds from the mind of Satan [the fallen nature].

*****

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[april 10th 2007]

+       My grace is summed up in one word: Jesus! For My grace is summed up in all that has been provided through Jesus Christ, and He is the exact representation of My nature - and He is indeed the One who fills all in all. Many, in their attempt to separate My grace from faith in My Word [Will], have slipped deeply into sin and darkness - vainly believing that their continued sin and rebellion are somehow overlooked because I am such a "loving"  God. But truly I say to you, in their desire to remain in their sin - and, thus, fulfill their own selfish desires - they have separated themselves from the only provision [the Blood of Jesus] I have made for them to be without sin, and blameless in My sight. And if they "refuse" to repent of the evil that they have maintained in their heart, they shall come under the judgement that I have already proclaimed for the one that they truly serve.

        They are My children and I love them dearly, but should they "choose" the broad path of destruction rather than the narrow path of perfect obedience, they can be of no use to Me in the establishing of My Kingdom in the earth - for it is certain that those who are not building My Church are being used by Satan in some way to hinder and tear it down! Therefore, all of My children who stubbornly refuse to walk in love and obedience must be removed from the battle - and this is precisely why My judgement has fallen heavily on those who are called to lead My sheep in this season. For many of those called to leadership have forsaken intimate fellowship with Me in order to establish their own kingdom and, thus, the sheep have been led into a place of non-resistance [passiveness] to the destructive schemes of the Enemy that have been forged against them.

        But as the "uncompromised" [absolute] truth is preached to the vast multitudes of My children throughout the earth many shall turn from their bondage and rebellion and serve Me in the way I desire to be served - from the position of a heart "wholly" given. Only those who attempt to continue on in their pride and arrogance [by their own choice] shall be removed from their place of authority and suffer at the bands of Satan. Have I ever forsaken one of My children? No I have not! But many [in their hearts] have forsaken Me and yet still believe that, in some way, [because of their "mental ascent" to My mercy, love and grace] I will justify them in their so-called "good works" - works that are, in reality, unrighteous and have their source in sin and rebellion, and the seeking after self-glory.

        The hour has come wherein the thoughts and intentions of My children shall be exposed for all to see [both righteous and unrighteous], and all sin and rebellion shall be removed from the hearts and minds of all those who truly love Me by the power of My indwelling Spirit - that they might enter fully into their precious inheritance and destiny, in Christ.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[april 11th 2007]

+       The heart-attitude of every one of My children should say constantly [as they diligently seek My Word], "I want to hear it only from the Holy Spirit". For until that attitude is found in their heart, and until they have revelation of My desire for their "perfect" obedience, they will easily be led into an area of presumptuous sin. For it is only a deep abiding in My Word that can separate continually, the soul and the spirit of a man, revealing to them at all times those things that proceed forth from the "flesh" and those that are of My Spirit.

+       Arrogance and selfishness in parents evokes a spirit of rebellion and independence within their children. Love and unselfishness in parents ultimately evokes a spirit of consecration and obedience [trust] within their children.

        To the degree that My children set their "own" joy before them - in other words, those things that would satisfy their own desires apart from Me - it is to that degree that they shall continue to strive in their own power to attain their own goals [self-agenda]. It is only as My children lay down their lives entirely and, thus, "allow" Me to do "all things", that I am enabled to "flood" their hearts with the revelation and the vision and the joy that will allow them to endure the "cross" [continually live the life of self-denial], and fulfill every facet of My will for their lives.

+       An "unrighteous act" is an act that one commits apart from My righteousness. If one "allows" compromise in their walks to any degree - that is, do those things that are apart from the Head, who is Jesus - then they commit an unrighteous act. Every person who crosses the path of one of My children has the "right" to hear My uncompromised Word, and see the "living" Christ within them. Therefore, if My children make the choice to compromise My Word in some way, then they have committed an unrighteous act against those who hear the words they speak.

+       "All" disappointment stems from a "misplaced" faith [trust]. Every one of My children must take as their only standard, the revealed knowledge of My Word - for it is then and only then, that they will be able to walk above the "certain disappointment " that comes from a continued reliance upon the things which are "seen" [perceived through the five physical senses]. Therefore, if one of My children are found to be suffering disappointment and defeat in an area of their walk, they need only seek My will and wisdom in that area, and as they "fix" their eyes solely on the revealed knowledge of My Word, they will no longer suffer any disappointment and frustration, for their faith shall no longer be misplaced and they shall surely gain the victory [Romans 9:33].

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[april 12th 2007]

+       It is a very high calling that has been placed upon those whom I have called to the five-fold ministry in this last hour. For I have called and chosen them to lead [through serving] My people into the "fullness" of their inheritance, and into the sinless perfection [holiness] that I desire in My Church. Indeed, it shall take a mighty turn around, for through the past twenty centuries, the multitudes have strayed farther and farther away from Me. There have only been a "handful" who have remained faithful and obedient to Me. These "overcomers" passed down, from each succeeding generation, the knowledge of My Word [Will] that was revealed to them by the Holy Spirit. And even though at times it appeared as though the reality of the Gospel of the Kingdom had become a small and flickering flame - all but extinguished by the winds of worldly doctrine - nevertheless, I have always had a "remnant" in the earth who desired nothing else but to do "all" of My will. And now, we have reached the end of the age and truly I say to you "all" that is not of Me [all that is apart from Christ] shall be torn down and consumed by the fire of My Spirit. Over nineteen hundred years of scheming by the Evil One shall be destroyed in a moment's time; for this is the hour that I have chosen to reveal My sons and daughters in the earth in the fullness of My Glory.

        There are many who would call the lives they live, the Christian life; but truly I say to you the lives they live no more resemble Me than darkness represents the day. Everyone who would call themselves Mine will have to repent of any carnality [self-desire] that remains within them. This is not a game - and never was! The reality of the new life that I have given them in Christ through the power of the precious Blood is a very serious thing. For not only were all those who would call on the Name of Jesus from their heart delivered from the sin and darkness and death of this "lower" world, but they were transferred into the Kingdom of My dear Son - and equipped perfectly to fight the battle of the ages.

        I did not call My children out of this world only for them to return and align themselves with Satan and his lies. My anger burns against those who have hardened their hearts and, thus, have refused to break their allegiance with the Evil One. There are those who think they should not be held responsible, because they have been deceived by Satan, but truly, truly I say to you, if they had "any" desire in their heart to obey Me, they would have "known" the futility of the path that they were on. I have said before that My mercy endures forever - while there is still a seed of  repentance in the heart; but as I look out upon the hearts of many I have found that "seed" to be lacking and it is certain that as the judgements that have already been proclaimed [upon this "world" and its ruler] are carried out, they shall be swept along with all those who have made selfishness and greed their "god". Indeed it is time to put an end to the "comfort that kills" amongst My people!

[april 13th 2007]

+       In this season things shall begin to both accelerate andintensify[spiritually speaking] and, thus, My Word shall have two very clear and distinct "effects" on My people. As My uncompromised Word is put forth in the fullness of authority and conviction by My holy and faithful servants, they shall experience My great blessing - or a righteous and holy fire that will both expose and consume ALL that is apart from Me. What one experiences will truly be the result of their love for Me or their rebellion against Me; and in this way the darkness in every man's heart shall be exposed, and truly I say to you many shall turn completely from the broad path and enter onto the highway of holiness [Isaiah 35:8-10] in this most glorious hour.

+       The influence of the Evil One shall be "completely removed" from My [remnant] Church as the power of My anointing flows "unhindered" through the spirits of those who have cleansed themselves from "all" defilement of flesh and spirit. Indeed, the faith of those who are clean before Me shall rise up and devastate the works of Satan, and My light shall abide within them, and in them there shall be no cause for error or for stumbling. For behold in Zion I have laid a stone, a tested stone, a costly cornerstone for the foundation, firmly placed, and he who believes in it shall not be disturbed; and there shall be no fear in the hearts of those who have aligned themselves with Me - spirit, soul, and body; and, if no fear, then it shall be only an "absolute" faith that pours forth upon the words that  they speak out of the abundance of their holy hearts. For in this day and in this hour I shall do a work of great magnitude in My Church for all the world to see, and no more shall the scoffers scoff or the mockers mock; for they shall see clearly the revelation of My sons and daughters in the earth.

JESUS:

+       Did not those who were filled with My Spirit at Pentecost, turn the world upside down? Indeed, My Spirit shall be poured forth in this season in such a manner as to uproot "all" of the walls and foundations that have harboured the lies of the Evil One and led many of My people astray; and all those who truly love Me shall marvel at all of these things, and they shall "wonder" how they could ever have been held captive by darkness for so long; and they shall turn, and through the anointing that abides within them, they shall be vessels of the greatest attack and assault upon the strongholds of the Evil One that the earth has ever seen. Thus shall My ministry be fulfilled - as My spotless and unblemished Church rises to meet Me in the heavens.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[april 14th 2007]

+       Every one of My children - as they receive those  blessings that I have for them - should seek one thing and one thing only in those blessings, and that is that they might learn a deeper revelation of obedience. For as they seek this one thing, surely all other things shall fall into place [unfold perfectly] in their service to Me.

+       Because many of My children have removed themselves far from My Word [and the intimate fellowship that I desire to have with them] they do not have a revelation of all that My love encompasses and, thus, when those whom I have sent as vessels of My love and truth come before them, they scorn and despise them and accuse them of not walking in love. For their eyes have been blinded by the hardness of their hearts and their minds have been darkened by the Evil One. But truly I say to you, all those who have prepared themselves as vessels of My love shall surely be vindicated in all of their words and  actions in this hour - for they have represented Me well, and in this I am well pleased!

+       All fear is based on the thought of what "self" cannot do or handle. Therefore, when My children come to the "full realization" that they indeed can do nothing of themselves, My love shall be shed abroad in their hearts, and all that proceeds from fear and self shall be cast aside. For they shall know that although they can do nothing of themselves [in their own strength and understanding] to further My Kingdom, they can do "all" things through the power of My Word and My Spirit.

+       For My children to truly obey My command for them to love one another they will need to lay aside any thought for themselves. For as they go forth in obedience there shall be many that cross their path who, in their blindness and hardness of heart, shall come against those who have been sent by Me. My bondservants and handmaidens must hearken diligently to the voice of My Spirit in every circumstance and situation - in order that through their intercession and through their words, they might cause that which is for the greatest eternal benefit of the one who has come against them to come to pass. They must, at all cost to themselves, let no unwholesome word proceed from their mouths. Indeed, there shall be many times when their actions are not "recognized" by those who do not have eyes to see; but truly I say to you I shall recognize all those things that they have done in My name and great shall be their reward - both in this age and in the age to come.

[april 15th 2007]

+       It is much easier for My children to stand in faith as they gain a deeper revelation of the power of the Blood of Jesus. For in gaining this revelation, they shall begin to understand that My power transcends both time and space, and because of this, by the words which proceed forth from their mouth, they shall be able to "control" [through their faith and right standing with Me] every circumstance with which Satan has attempted to lure them into an area of fear.

+       Without a willing heart towards Me as My children walk this earth, they become tools of Satan [2 Timothy 2:26], moving [unknowingly - although they should know] step by step closer to the destruction that he has planned for every one of My children. But as they "allow" Me to sustain them and create in them a steadfast and willing heart, every step they take shall lead them into a deeper revelation of My absolute life, and they shall become pure vessels of My life to a world which is perishing rapidly.

+       Every time My children speak words that are not in perfect accordance with the revealed knowledge of My Word the words they speak "exalt themselves" above My Word [Will], and by speaking these words they align themselves and set themselves in agreement with the lies of Satan. By speaking words that exalt themselves above My Word one's rebellion against Me is revealed. Words that are spoken in accordance with the revealed knowledge of My Word [Will] shall build up My Church. Words that exalt themselves above the revealed knowledge of My will, shall serve to tear down [hinder] My Church in some way.

+       I desire each one of My children to have a "Body of Christ"-consciousness and a "Covenant"-consciousness in this last hour. I desire every action that they take to be within the framework of the Covenant that they have with Me, and every word they speak to be for the edification of My Church - both individually and corporately.

[april 16th 2007]

+       It is the "preoccupation" of some of My children with things in the physical realm [the things that are seen and heard] that have continually caused them to be ensnared and trapped by the schemes of the Evil One. It has led them into doctrines and traditions which rob My Word of its power in their lives, and causes them to walk in darkness. In this last hour I shall expose every "false doctrine", and I shall tear down every man-made tradition from the foundation up - and there shall be no more "error" in My church. For all those who truly love Me shall come into the perfect knowledge of My Truth - by the power of My Spirit.

+       Through My forethought and foreknowledge I have already prepared the path for each one of My children to walk in this earth [Ephesians 2:10]; and it is because of this that every thought [desire] that is acted upon by My children that has proceeded forth from the  "flesh" is only expressing rebellion against Me. It is as My children set themselves in agreement with the thoughts and intentions of My heart that they shall truly walk in the fullness of the revelation that they have the "mind of Christ" and enter into the fullness of their precious inheritance in Him.

+       Those who continue on in [heart] "fellowship" with the world will always find it much easier to believe the lies of Satan above the revealed knowledge of My Word.

+       A clean and pure heart is a heart that is always perfect [faithful and true] in its thoughts and motivations towards Me - and towards My Will [Matthew 5:8].

+       Reliance upon My Word and the Holy Spirit alone fuels godly desire, and shall always lead one into those "things" that they need to fulfill their ministry in the earth. Dependence upon the flesh shall produce those things in their lives - through an adherence to self-desire - that are "excess",  and serve only to hinder their carrying out of My will.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[april 17th 2007]

+       The "old nature" of man [the "flesh"] has within it only the capacity and capability to "misunderstand" both Me - and My purposes.

+       When one is diligently "pursuing" their enemy, that enemy does not have time to set up an ambush or attack against them. The way in which My children diligently pursue the Enemy is to walk in perfect obedience before Me - for in doing so they shall surely pursue the Enemy until he is "consumed", and his strongholds found in their path shall be brought to nothing [2 Samuel 22:38].

+       Fear [selfishness-pride] triggers "all" demonic influence in the lives of My children. It is for this reason that they must replace every fear-filled thought with My Word. For in doing so they shall eliminate the opportunity for Satan to work in them and through them. Those of My children who "choose" to operate in fear and selfishness rather than faith and love, shall surely "allow" the Evil One to do them great harm; and they shall surely be found to be fighting against Me in this last hour - as I move powerfully to establish My Glorious Church.

+       My children shall only find satisfaction in the things that they do in obedience to Me, if they do those things out of love for Me alone. For if there is any element of self remaining within their heart in their "attempt" to carry out My will, they cannot experience the "true" satisfaction that comes only from love. Every motivation of heart in Christian service must be rooted in the desire for all of My will to be accomplished in the earth [to destroy the works of Satan and to exalt the name of Jesus - and to represent Me perfectly] . Any motivation that proceeds from self shall only serve to "allow" the Evil One to enter into, and remain in control of, their lives in some way. I am an absolute God, and in the perfect fulfilling of My will, it shall take an "absolute" [perfect] love abiding in the hearts of My children. For indeed there is no provision, in the building of My Church, for anything that is outside of, and apart from, Me"....

+       All disappointment comes from an "unrealistic" expectation [a misplaced faith] based in selfishness [self-desire].

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[april 18th 2007]

+       The driving force within My children that causes them to love Me with their "whole heart" - and hate evil [unrighteousness] with a vengeance - is all part of the anointing that I have bestowed upon My Christ, and that anointing dwells in every one of My children. It is as My children depend entirely on the anointing that abides within them that they will pursue the enemy until he is consumed. If one loves the darkened wisdom of Satan rather than My wisdom, they will not pursue him; for in their maintaining of selfish desire they shall forsake obedience to Me in order to fellowship with the world and its ways. But those who forsake "all" to follow Me shall go forth as a "great army" in this hour, and they shall drive out the darkness and death which - up until this time - has infiltrated My church; and with a holy "intolerance" of sin and unbelief this world has never seen before, they shall expose the lies of the Evil One; and his hold on the hearts and minds of  all those whose heart is towards Me shall be broken [Acts 2:21].

+       I am about to unleash the fulness of My power through all those of My children who have given themselves wholly to Me, and they shall "enter fully" into the realm of the miraculous.  For they will have transcended both time and space and shall no longer be held in any way by the temporal realm - thus enabling them to carry out My will, and allowing Me to cause great signs and wonders and miracles to come to pass through them. Hold fast, My beloved ones, for even though at first these things I have said to you, as they manifest themselves in the physical realm, may "seem" like a dream they are not, and you shall surely turn the world upside down wherever you walk in this last of the last hou!

+       The anointing that abides within My children is released in its [His] fullness through faith in My Word, working through love - that is, a perfect state of heart towards Me at all times [Matthew 5:48].

+       I did not create a man to "rule" over [dominate] a woman, but rather with a woman as "one" flesh. He is to give himself entirely to Me [and My Will] - for her. For only in that position of close and intimate relationship with Me does he have the "authority" to make decisions. He does not have the right to make any decision based on any insecurity or any egotistical desire to "look" like a man. He gets that right only by conforming himself to what I created him to be: the protector, provider, friend and beloved one of the woman, in Christ.

+       The more revealed knowledge one receives, the more responsibility one has to use that knowledge correctly.

+       In seeking nothing for themselves, My children can go about freely doing all things - knowing, by faith, that they are walking in accordance with the deepest thoughts and intentions of My  heart.

+       All reliance on "feelings" has its root in a fear and mistrust of Me.

+       Whenever My Spirit comes into "contact" with something, order is restored.

+       My children entering into a place of an abiding and perfect obedience is dependent upon them gaining a deep and "living" revelation of the fact that what is continually sown to the flesh shall end in death, and what is continually sown to the Spirit shall end in life [Galatians 6:7-8].

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[april 20th 2007]

+       The sole reason for one of My children being used as a vessel of persecution against another one of My children is the fact that they do not know the thoughts and intentions of My heart. In this last hour, those of My children who "know" Me shall be able to discern clearly those things that are from Me; whereas those who have hardened their hearts against me shall "slip into darkness", and shall in no way be able to discern the things that are of Me. For they have been enshrouded with a deluding influence - that "evil" influence being a direct product of the hardness of their hearts towards Me [My Will].

+       The reason why many of My children still continue to stumble over the doctrines of healing found in My Word, is because their eyes rest on the defeats and failures caused by unbelief [their own and other's], rather than keeping their eyes "fixed" on a revelation of My Word - revelation[s] that would cause them to have the necessary faith to overcome every manifestation that crosses their path.

+       The "spirit of unbelief" is that spirit which causes My children to harden their hearts against Me, and causes them to refuse to receive My uncompromised Word  [absolute truth] into their hearts - its prime manifestation being "offense taken" at the Word spoken under the unction and anointing of the Holy Spirit.

+       I desire to bring each one of My children to the place wherein every "heart motivation" of theirs is to please Me - rather than flesh and blood.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[april 21st 2007]

+       As My children receive My wisdom and the  revealed knowledge of My Word into their hearts, it is of extreme importance for them to continue on in My Word - for it is then and only then that they shall be able to minister My Word in love. For it is certain that it is only as My love is shed abroad in their hearts that they shall be enabled to rise above "self-seeking" - and the tactics of the Enemy which seek to deceive them into using My wisdom and prosperity as a tool for their own selfish gain. The key to "perfection" in the Christian life in this earth is "abiding"; indeed the key to walking in the fulness of the true Christian life which I have set before each one of My children, is "continual fellowship" with Me. Multitudes of My children do not yet have the revelation that it is not "I" [self] but Christ who lives within them, and thus they continue to rely upon the "old nature" in an "attempt" to serve Me. Truly I say to you, this is a time of great separation within My church and, as this judgment moves into full swing, those who truly love Me - and all that they set their hand to - shall be filled with My glory, while those who remain content in their rebellion shall surely begin to "perish" [be uncovered] at the hands of Satan! For in this season, to those who already have much, much more shall be given; but to those who have little [because of their unfaithfulness], that which they have shall be taken away from them.

+       For one to take offense at something one says or does means that they are not walking in love; and for one to fear someone taking offense at something they say or do is also not walking in love - and shows a fear in that person of what other people think.

+       I find in many of My children that their spirit is indeed willing, but their flesh is weak. Even though one's spirit is willing, they must remain constant in their obedience to the revealed knowledge of My will and the voice of My Spirit.  In other words, they must walk in all of the light they have - at all times. For if they choose to lean upon their own understanding to even a small degree, then their soul shall begin to supercede their spirit [inner man] and gain control of their thoughts and actions. But as they guard their heart with all diligence - and walk in obedience to even the smallest detail of My will - their spirit shall grow strong and neither the soul or the body shall be able to control them or move them, in any way, to a place outside of My will.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[april 22nd 2007]

+       The desire of one of My children to obtain the promise of "never leaving" is born from a deep mistrust of Me to supply "all" their needs; for when one truly seeks first My Kingdom and My righteousness, I shall be enabled to supply "all" of their needs and this includes "brothers and sisters" of like mind and heart! But the goal and aim shall not be based on emotional insecurities nor any fear of rejection. The goal shall be one of "selflessness" - and the establishing of My Kingdom in the earth.

+       The "covenant" made between two believers in Christ - and as a result of Divine empowerment [divine connection] - will be to do all things and say all things only for the building up of one another, desiring only to speak the revealed knowledge of My Word, letting no unwholesome word proceed from the mouth of the "flesh". The question should not be "will you never leave me?" But, "Will you always seek God's face concerning Me?" "Will you never speak apart from His revealed will to Me?" "Will you continually lay down your "natural life" that I may be a partaker of God's life, and desire and not your own for me?" And, "Will you, if need be for my correction, separate yourself from me at the instruction of the Holy Spirit?" Indeed, this is what it truly means to walk in obedience to My command for My children to "love one another".

+       To prevent any of Satan's "wearing down tactics" from taking effect in the lives of My children, they must guard their hearts every moment of every day with all diligence. This is the essence of true obedience: that one be watchful, holding fast to My Word at all times.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[april 23rd 2007]

+       A deep love for Me shall spontaneously manifest itself in a deep hatred for Satan - and all that proceeds from him.  Therefore, to the degree that one is diligent in fellowshipping with Me in the "inner chamber" - and in the "handling of My Word" - it is to that degree that they shall pursue the "enemy", even to the total consuming of his strongholds; having been prepared by the love that is constantly shed abroad in their hearts, to pursue the enemy into darkness.

+       The deeper one's revelation of their "vulnerability" [vulnerability to sin, temptation, and fellowship with the world] without My power, the more "absolute" their dependence upon [their faith in] Me.

+       Proclaiming My Word in the power of the "Cross" causes a holy fear and reverence to rise up in the hearts of those who hear, and places them before them the distinct choice of either doing or forsaking My will - as it pertains to their lives. But but truly I say to you, those who put forth My Word in the fulness of My power must first have emptied themselves of all that is not of Me and, in doing so, they shall find themselves in a position to be used as pure vessels as I pour forth My Spirit upon "all" flesh in this last hour. For over two thousand years many in My "church" - through their arrogance and unbelief - have "allowed" a veil to be drawn over the eyes of the multitudes through each succeeding generation. But truly I say to you, the veil of darkness shall be removed in this most glorious hour, and My light and My truth shall be poured forth as a flood - and before the catching away of "My" Church, everyone who is still walking in the earth shall have been affected greatly. For now is the time of "the greatest manifestation of My power" that this earth has ever seen and, truly I say to you, all shall be laid bare before the consuming fire of My Spirit - both that which is righteous [with great reward], and that which is unrighteous [with great loss]!

[april 24th 2007]

+       My children must be led by My Spirit in this final hour! If in their daily walk there is a "breakdown" in their communication with the Spirit - Who abides within them - then they must humbly present themselves before Me, seeking diligently to have any "ground" within them both exposed and consumed. As they are faithful to do this moment to moment, day by day, they shall surely come to the place wherein all desire to act "impulsively" [compulsively] is no more. For even the most "harmless-looking" deviation from the narrow path has, as its root motivation, fear, pride and selfishness.

+       Many, to whom I have entrusted the ministry of My Word, have ignored My command to set the captives free at all cost to themselves - and because of their unbelief and the hardness of their hearts, they shall experience the various afflictions and distresses that they have caused [allowed] My people to be afflicted with. For had they obeyed My command to consecrate themselves and seek to do only the desires of My heart, they would have caused Satan and his forces to flee before them - thus allowing Me to heal and restore My people back to Myself. But now the time has come when "all" shall be found to be fighting for Me or against Me. For those who are fighting against Me [unknowingly - although they should have known] have surely "allowed" themselves to be deceived by the Evil One, and so they shall suffer the judgements that shall come upon all who place their trust [faith] in his lies.

+       Up until this time, there has been a great deal of misunderstanding in My church with regard to "what I require of each one of My children" [Luke 10:27]. But truly I say to you, the darkness and confusion shall be removed by the consuming light and power of My Spirit in this season, and no more shall those who truly love Me, be in discord and disharmony. Truly I say to you, they shall all be of one heart and one mind - as they "abide" in the power of the Spirit of wisdom and revelation.

+       Without a deep revelation that they can do nothing apart from Me [John 15:5], and that there is no "good" thing [that is, no thing which has its source in Me or can please Me in any way] in the flesh [Romans 7:18], My children render themselves unfit for My service - and in this last hour these things shall be clearly shown and seen.

+       My "presence" [Glory] judges sin - and rewards righteousness.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[april 25th 2007]

+       Pleading the Blood [exercising faith in the power of the Blood of Jesus] shall keep the reverential fear of Me working in the heart of the believer, and through this holy fear "all" presumption shall be eliminated in the life of that believer. For it is through a constant abiding that one will overcome all that crosses their path in this final hour. Is it not written, "And they overcame him because of the Blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony?" Therefore, as My children abide in My Word [love] they shall experience a continually deeper revelation of the "power" of the Blood,  and thus shall they come into a place of worship and fellowship with Me that they "thought" impossible this side of Heaven itself - as they fulfill My will in the earth in this last hour.

+       I desire the prayers of My children to take on a "new dimension" of faith! As they set themselves apart unto Me, and as I reveal My Word to them to a continually greater degree, there shall be found a great "authoritativeness" in their words and they shall indeed "control" all those things that cross their path. For it is time for My Glory to be manifested in the midst of My people in ways that - up until this time - I have not been "enabled" to accomplish. Let all those who would do My will, cleanse themselves from "all" defilement of flesh and spirit in this season. For truly I say to you, My Glory shall indeed "abound" in the midst of the congregations of My people; and all sin and all fear and all darkness shall be removed from within My Church [the spotless and unblemished Bride of Christ].

+       It is a time wherein many of My children shall come to be with Me. For indeed the battle lines are drawn - and only those who are strong in My Word and pure in heart shall enter into battle and come away unscathed. It is no "shame", for those who have left the earth to come and be with Me, for even though I had many, many great blessings for them, which they did not choose to partake of while in the earth, they are still Mine and they belong to Me. So carry on My beloved ones, for the time is short and the work that shall be accomplished in this most glorious hour is great. Therefore, do not turn your eyes back on the events that have happened, but rather look forward, keeping your eyes "fixed" opon My Word [Will] in all things.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[april 26th 2007]

+       There will be those of My children who shall be openly deceived by the Evil One in this hour - in spite of their "apparent spirituality". For unless one's heart is "wholly given" to Me in this last hour, and unless all things are discerned through the light of My Spirit - that is, through a perfect dependence upon Him as: Teacher, Counselor, and "sole" Guide, then even some of the "elect" shall be deceived and be found to be fighting against My "true" Church. But through the fullness of the anointing of fire upon My true apostles and prophets all that has its source in darkness shall be openly exposed. Many of those who have been "influenced" greatly by the "Pentecostal" revival of the twentieth century [but have since slipped into darkness], and all that which has been a result of "anti-denominationalism" [local fellowships that began in the Spirit but shall end in the flesh] shall crumble and fall. For truly I say to you, each and every step and action taken by My children outside of the revelation of My Word and the unction of My Spirit, shall crumble and fall and be utterly destroyed, and thus shown clearly to be a work that was not of Me.

+       Satan's greatest scheme against the "spiritual  man" [or woman] is his attempt, through a "self-assurance" and "self-reliance" of any degree in that spiritual one, to cause one to move forward in a "soulical" power [psuche] rather than by the power of My Spirit [zoe], and thus deceive them into believing that all along they are operating by the power of My Spirit, while, in reality, they have been deceived by the powers of darkness.

        It is only through a close and abiding fellowship, and a "perfect maintenance" of the heart that will allow the living Word to divide between that which is of the soul and that which is of the Spirit. This is a very "sensitive" area and one can see clearly why I call for "moment to moment" obedience by all of My children; for it is only this obedience that will preclude "all" deception and keep them safe from every Satanic trap and snare and hindrance.

        From these things, you can see why "any" dependence upon feelings [emotions], "renewed" or unrenewed is most unacceptable! For any dependence upon a feeling breeds only a deeper dependence on feelings and it shall not be long before one is deceived into an "absolute dependence", based upon how and what they "feel" rather than on the revealed knowledge of My Word.

        All those that seek only to walk in perfect obedience shall indeed have their share of "good" feelings, but truly I say to you, never must they ever, even for one fleeting moment, place any dependence upon them as their final authority. For it is in the absence of any "self-assurance" that I am "enabled" to show Myself in the strongest manner, through My children, and continually grant them a "divine assurance" deep in their heart that will sustain them supernaturally - to the end of their race.

[april 27th 2007]

+       When one of My bondservants or handmaidens are confronted by a rebellious spirit, then they must walk the "fine line" between perseverance in love and a "holy intolerance" - which is also a manifestation of My love. The measuring line for "every" action of My people is the "unction" of My Spirit, and if even for one moment they "attempt to love" apart from that unction [the power that abides within them] then they shall surely fail to effect any change in the situation. Every "presumptuous" action  has as its root the desire to exercise an "authority" that is apart from Christ - an authority that has, as its root motivation, the desire to exalt oneself into a position of dominance over their fellow-man, for the purpose of their own "furtherance". All "true" authority - that is, an authority exercised through perfect obedience to My Word and My Spirit - is the "all authority" that was given to Christ, and has as its sole motivation the furtherance of My Kingdom, and the greatest "eternal benefit" of all those who are "touched" by it.

+       There is a power that will stop  "rebelliousness" dead in its tracks. Behold, it is the same power [the Holy Spirit] that cast down rebellion from Heaven, and Who is found "abiding" in the hearts of those who truly love Me. It is never a matter of My children doing "things" to counter Satan's efforts, but only a matter of them being "saturated" with My Word and My presence. For then, as they go forth in "My power", all darkness and rebellion shall be put under their feet and spiritual order shall be restored. Those who, through presumptuous acts, attempt to overcome that which they perceive with their five physical senses as "wrong", only fuel the fires of lawlessness, and thus "hasten" their own end. For unless the "Greater One" resides [abides and rules] within one in this most critical hour they shall surely be overcome by the "world" and its ruler to some extent.

+       Many have such a "shallow" revelation of My love [My true character and nature] that even one word or "appearance" that is outside the realm of their "preconditioned notions and set religious responses" [mental ascensions] drives them into a frenzy of "iniquitous" activity against those who are pure vessels of My love - in the "belief" that they are serving Me, and protecting that which is "righteous". But no more shall I tolerate, in any way, such wickedness, and My judgement shall be immediate upon "all" those who come against Me to hinder the furtherance of My Kingdom in this last of the last hour.

+       How can My "ministers" walk in an "absolute sensitivity" concerning the deepest needs of My children if - in forsaking close and intimate fellowship with Me - they choose not abide and walk moment to moment in the revelation of My Word, and by the unction of My Spirit?

+       There is a great danger of "self-importance" creeping into the lives of all those who are called to walk and minister on the "front lines". For it is in this place that My great and awesome power is most freely manifested and thus, unless one's eyes are fixed upon Me at "all" times to carry out My will, one shall "begin to see", and then seek to retain, their position of authority by their "own" striving. But, in their refusal to be motivated solely by the Spirit of the Cross, that true authority shall become false authority, as they strive to maintain their appearance before men - apart from Me.

+       It is the desire to "hold part back" that blinds many of My children from having a clear revelation of the blessings of obedience. If any of My children truly desire to maintain the "belief" that a life of "partial" consecration is superior to a life of perfect obedience, then through their own choice they shall ultimately take themselves outside of the "Blood" [and therefore outside the covenants of promise}, and they shall reap that which they have sown in their fear and rebellion until a deep and thorough repentance is entered into.

+       Any of the "books" that are written about Me - apart from the Spirit of the Cross [a perfect obedience] "abiding" in My children - are being used by the Evil One to divert the eyes of many of My children from the "narrow path".

+       There is a destruction that is perverse and a destruction that is holy.

+       Unrighteous judgement is influenced by a "critical spirit", and motivated by unforgiveness - causing a hardness of heart.

+       There are different "degrees" of conviction. The words that bring My children under a "full" conviction [exposure] are always the product of a pure heart saturated with My Word and My Spirit.

+       To be in the perfect place at the perfect time "continually", means "abiding" in perfect obedience.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[april 30th 2007]

+       There is a "holy jealousy" that rises up in those who abide in My Word [and who are "continuously filled" with My Spirit] that always manifests itself  in such a way as to "devastate and destroy" the lies of Satan!

+       Many of My people continue to live in the bonds of "tradition" and the doctrines of men [and demons] and, thus, they forsake the perfect liberty [freedom] and continual illumination [enlightenment-divine wisdom] that is theirs in Christ to overcome in all things.

+       My children must set themselves in a position [consecration] to receive a revelation of My "reward system".  For truly I say to you, it differs completely from the system of reward which is inherent in the world - and those who "dwell" therein. It is only as My children receive the revelation of Kingdom-reward that they will stop striving to attain to a position that seeks to obtain the "power" and the "benefits" that come as a result of seeking the approval and esteem of men - above seeking to walk in perfect faithfulness to Me.

+       If the flesh and the world are the "power centers" of sin then to deny oneself, and separation from the world unto Me, shall surely result in their continual "appropriation" of the power of the Cross and power of the Blood - unto a perfect obedience!
