EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[december 1st 2007]


+ One thing I am "forced" to hold many of the "leaders" in the church at large "accountable" for is their "adamant" refusal to place themselves in the "necessary" position to hear the voice of My Spirit concerning the "advent" of My holy apostles and prophets - and not only apostles and prophets, but also My "last wave" of evangelists, pastors and teachers. Because they have not set themselves in the secret place of My presence [the place of abiding] - although they do "visit" from time to time - they have become incapable of receiving the necessary revelation because of an "increasing" hardness of heart and, thus, they remain ignorant of My perfect will and plan for My "true Church", and their perfect part in it. But truly I say to you, there is no excuse for "ignorance" on the part of "any" of My children for is it not written: "walk no longer as the Gentiles also walk, in the futility of their mind, being darkened in their understanding, excluded from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart [Ephesians 4:17-24]?" Why is it that many of My children find it so difficult to understand that to walk in "carnality," that is, to continually lean upon one's own understanding and, thus, pursue one's own goals through self-desire, is to walk just as the "heathen" [those without Me] walks?

Large buildings with spiralled steeples, topped with an image of a "cross", and filled with "vessels" whose greatest concern daily is still for their own "self-sufficiency" and "self-preservation" do not a holy people make! For indeed I desire a people set apart unto Me that they might no longer live for themselves [2 Corinthians 4:14-15]! Hold fast, My beloved bondservants and handmaidens, for truly I say to you, the time has indeed come for you to be "unwrapped", and as I send you forth there will be such powerful "shock-waves" in the midst of the congregations of My people that they will quickly be brought to the place wherein they shall see clearly - some for the first time - the fact that "all" that proceeds from the flesh is at enmity with My Will; and there will be those who, in moment, forsake all to truly follow Me, and there will be those who "stand" and fight for their "right" to live the way they want [desire] to live. But as My people are truly knit together in love, and as a "true Spirit of unity" encompasses the hearts of those who truly love Me, ALL those who set themselves to stand against them shall most certainly be "abased" and "humbled" in My presence!

+ The "last wave" of the five-fold ministry that I am about to bring forth in the fullness of My power are a "remnant" who have been taught by Me in the "place of abiding", and who have "none" of the "qualifications" which many of My "leaders" in My Church "look for". But the one thing that will "characterize" My remnant will be My presence [and all the power thereof], and truly I say to you, as I send them forth they shall hit the "walls" of darkness and unbelief in the midst of My people like a giant sledgehammer!

+ The fear of man [fear of what others think] will "always" take one out of My Will "for a time" - that time being directly proportionate to the time in which they "choose" to exalt what "flesh and blood" thinks over what I think [Galatians 1:10].

+ It is time for every one of My children, who have been seeking Me with all of their heart, and who have sought only to live in the secret place of My presence [that "place of abiding"] to specifically set themselves before Me that I might reveal to them how to "best" use the "resources" that I have blessed them with. To some I have given an abundance of "revelation"; some have been blessed to great degree "financially". Others may feel that they have little to offer, but truly I say to you, as they come forth into My presence with a "willing" heart, I shall bestow upon them a blessing which they shall in turn bless those whom I would have them bless. Those who have been blessed with an abundance of revelation knowledge and who have "sown" spiritual "seeds" over the years, through the ministry of My Word and their devotion to prayer [intercession], are those who "now" need to partake of the "financial resources" that I have blessed many of My children with, and I shall "order" circumstances in such a way, through a "series" of "glorious connections", that will allow My ministers to sow "spiritual things" in the hearts of My people, and in turn they shall reap "material things" from those they have ministered to [Galatians 6:6]. For indeed, a "spirit of giving shall "consume" the hearts of all those who are "wholly given" to Me in this final hour; and out of their great "abundance" - an abundance which is the "heritage" of My true servants - I shall accomplish "all" those tasks that I have "ordained" for the Church in Her remaining time in this dispensation. Blessed are those who are faithful and obedient to My highest purposes in these days.

+ If any one of My children "allow" themselves to be "deluded" [influenced strongly] by a "spirit of procrastination", then the seed of unbelief [fear] that they have "allowed" to enter into their heart will "allow" the "principle of leaven" [Galatians 5:9] to remove them "entirely" from My will until such a time as a "true" repentance is forthcoming.

+ Indeed, many of My children have been deceived into believing that even though they have put the things off [consciously or unconsciously - although they should be conscious] that I have given them to do, they can somehow remain in the "center" of My will. Those of My children who have allowed themselves to be "caught" in this position are in this position because of their failure to "abide" in My Word. For in that place of abiding, their spirit and soul and body shall continually be "flooded" with My light and, thus, they shall be made aware of any "tasks" that have been left undone.

+ There are those who shall mock and scorn that which you speak to them by the unction of My Spirit in this hour, My beloved ones. Do not be dismayed [Ezekiel 2:4-8; Ezekiel 3:3-10]! For from the beginning of time there have been those who have refused to listen to those whom I have sent. As you go forth, being led by My Spirit, your righteousness and holiness shall shine forth as the noonday sun, and it is certain that no "flesh" shall glory in the presence of the anointing that abides within you.

+ Every one of My children whose heart is not "wholly" given to Me will ALWAYS reach a "certain plateau", and in this place they will say in their heart: "No more! We have seen enough of the "absoluteness" of God. Surely He can require no more [Luke 10:27]!?" And yet the very "seed" of this fear [pride] serves only to rob them of the fullness of the ministry and Kingdom-position that I have called them to. It robs them also of the glorious "experiences" that I have prepared for them - wondrous
[blessed] experiences in the Kingdom that are "incomprehensible" to the fleshly mind. Let there be no mistake! Unless one's heart is "wholly" given to Me THEN the seed of "rebellion" that remains shall "germinate" in the place of this "level ground" [plateau] they have come to, and as it is nurtured [through a continuing disobedience] it shall grow as a fast-growing weed and, thus, regardless of what "perfect service" they have carried out in My name in the past, they will "allow" themselves, in "some way", to be used by the Evil One against My "holy Remnant". But truly I say to you, there will not be a long time frame wherein these "unholy vessels" shall be able to persist in their rebellion, for I shall judge quickly those who "should have known better" [Numbers 15:37-16:50]!

Now, at this point, there are many who would say: "how can a loving God judge so "harshly" His own children?" But truly I say to you, I am a HOLY God, and ALL that is apart from Me [Christ] must, ultimately [in the fullness of time], be judged. I have made EVERY provision [in Christ] for My children to "abide" in a perfect obedience - and with the amount of revealed knowledge available in this last hour to ALL those who have taken My name, there are no "excuses" for any one of My children to enter into an "alignment" with the lies of Satan - in ANY way. The turning of one's back on the love-walk through self-desire, and a continual "seeking" to live for oneself  constitutes one thing - and one thing only - and that is the "desecration" of the precious Blood of My dear Son! Up until this time, I have been most "lenient" towards the "ignorance" that has been "maintained" by many of My people. But truly I say to you, if the "sons of disobedience" [Ephesians 5:1-17] are not judged both quickly and thoroughly at this time then they would "surely" lose "all" of their eternal reward, and ANY opportunity to enter into the fullness of My Will for their life and ministry - through a deep and thorough repentance in this hour!

"desecrate" - to divert from a sacred to a common use; profane;

        Whether one believes that I am a just and righteous God, or whether, through listening to the lies of the Evil One, they "believe" that somehow I have treated them unfairly makes no difference - for I am who I am, and I shall never change [James 1:17; Hebrews 13:8] - and truly I say to you, in this hour I shall judge ALL that is apart from Christ in the midst of My people! Is it not written that, "apart from Me you can do NOTHING [John 15:5]?" It saddens Me greatly when I look out upon many of My people and see their failure to learn the "lessons" that I have provided throughout history. Is it not written, "nevertheless, with most of them, God was not well-pleased; for they were laid low in the wilderness. Now these things happened as examples for us, that we should not crave evil things, as they also craved".... [1 Corinthians 10:1-12]? And is it not also written: "there remains therefore a Sabbath rest for the people of God. For the one who has entered His rest has himself also rested from his works as God did from His. Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall through following the same example of disobedience [Hebrews 4:9-11]?" As I have said earlier, there is no excuse for "ignorance" [darkness] in any of My children! As I send forth My "ministers of fire" in this hour, those whose hearts are towards Me shall be immediately blessed with the "spiritual knowledge" [revelation] they need to have, and all of the ignorance [darkness] that had beset them and held them captive shall be "driven out" by the light which flows "superabundantly" through those I have sent to deliver My Word.

        As My ministers minister in this last hour, they shall meet perfectly the needs of all those whose hearts are "inclined" towards Me. For this work that I have chosen to do in My Church in this last hour shall lift all those whose hearts are "inclined" towards Me to a "higher and deeper" consciousness of My Person; and My Spirit - the Spirit of love and truth and obedience - shall flow freely from "spirit to spirit" in all those hearts are "wholly given to Me" [Luke 10:27], and through My anointed vessels I shall "plunder" the "resources" and strongholds of the Evil One. Because of these things, the "multitudes" who had been left standing in the darkness because of the previous "ingloriousness" of the church [at large], shall be touched by My "glory" - that is, My manifested Presence being "poured forth" through My "spotless and unblemished" Vessel [the true Church] [Ephesians 5:27], and because of these things "instantly" they [the aforementioned "multitudes"] shall have eyes to see the "one true God" they had been searching for in the midst of the "muck and mire" [darkness] of the various "philosophies" and religions of the world [Colossians 2:8-9]; and the principalities and powers over "all" the nations of the earth shall, for a time, be "forced" [because of the "intercession[s]" of a Church filled and consumed to "overflowing" with My Spirit] to let go of that "territory" which they had previously held. And great [spiritual] liberty shall abound - "allowing" those throughout the nations whose heart is toward Me to enter into the Kingdom! Each one of My children must seek Me with "all" of their heart, that they might begin to understand My most Glorious Plan for this last hour. For unless one places themselves in a position to have their heart "enlarged", and their vision [revelation] expanded continually, then they could never comprehend the way that they need to comprehend [understand] all that I have planned - both for them as individuals, and corporately as My "spotless and unblemished" Church. Truly I say to you, all Heaven rejoices as these words go forth - for it is the time of the fulfillment of the deepest thoughts [desires] and intentions of My heart! And, as My children "believe" them and, thus, receive them into their heart and act upon them - in accordance with the direct leading and guidance of My Spirit [James 2:17] - I shall be enabled to "enlighten" them as to their perfect part and position in the establishment of My Church and Kingdom and, THEN, it is certain that they shall venture out into the "fullness" of the glorious destiny that I have called them to, and prepared them for, in Christ"....

+ My children must "maintain" a holy intolerance of all that is apart from Me. A spirit of "holy intolerance" is the spontaneous by-product of an "abiding" righteousness in My holy vessels. For as My righteousness meets sin it is certain that fire [light] will spontaneously flow forth to both expose and consume all unrighteousness [the deepest motivations of that one's heart] in its path - with a view to that one entering into a deep and thorough repentance. As the outpouring of My Spirit [Who is the Spirit of wisdom and revelation (light)] continues to increase with each passing day [through a holy Remnant] many will come to a deep realization of the fact that although they "thought" they were in My Will, in reality, they were not. From these things, one can see the importance of "maintaining" an attitude of non-compromise concerning the things [principles] of the Kingdom [a holy intolerance of all that is apart from Me] - for it is from that state of heart and mind in My holy and righteous vessels that many captives shall be gloriously set free in these days, and in the days ahead.

+ A "full realization" [revelation] of My will [Word] means perfect corresponding action in obedience to the voice of My Spirit is required [James 2:17].

+ When one of My children is "suffering for righteousness' sake" the desire to complain about their "circumstances" [through discontentment] is nonexistent. But when any of My children are suffering for "unrighteousness' sake" [due to sin and disobedience in their lives] they are "surely" held to a degree by a "complaining spirit". For it is certain that faith begets obedience which begets thanksgiving and praise, while fear [sin] begets disobedience which begets an ungrateful or unthankful and complaining spirit [Philippians 2:14-15].

+ My children must continually strive, by My Spirit, for the "perfection" that is theirs in Christ. They must "continually" resist the schemes of the Evil One, and never "allow" themselves to be moved by the "imperfection" that is all around them. For as they keep their eyes "fixed" on Jesus they shall surely reach the exalted position in My Kingdom that I have prepared for them, and they shall surely come to "abide" in My perfection [Matthew 5:48]. And, in this final hour, the nations shall see a "spotless and unblemished" Church [Ephesians 5:27] raised up before them - a blinding and powerful light set on high, in their midst.

+ Many "worldly attitudes" have crept into the midst of My people - even some of those I have called to a position of leadership in My church. As I send My handmaidens and bondservants forth into the midst of the "congregation" every word I give them to speak and every act I give them to carry out shall be "calculated to offend" these "worldly [unrighteous] attitudes". For truly I say to you, many have "allowed" themselves to be deceived into thinking that their daily lifestyle and routine can "accommodate" that which is of the "world" to some degree, and it is precisely this "ground" that "allows" the Evil One to hold them back and keep them in bondage in some way. And, thus, gradually, over a period of time, the faith that they once exercised in My Word alone is set aside, and they come to the place wherein the only "faith" they exercise is in themselves, their circumstances - and all those they "surround themselves" with. This is precisely why all those of My children whose hearts are not wholly given eventually come to "surround themselves" with those of a "like mind" and, thus, they forsake the "perfect" provision I have made for them - a provision that includes: friends, teachers, husbands, wives - and even those they are called to minister to. Truly I say to you, it is now time for each one of My children to come to the "perfect position" I have for them - spirit, soul, body and "positionally" - through a perfect obedience. Failure to forsake all "heart-fellowship" with the world shall surely render their "so-called" Christian service useless. For when have I ever honoured "any" action of the flesh, and when have I ever counted such action as "profitable" in the establishment of My Church and My Kingdom [John 6:63]? The answer is never - and it shall ever be that way!

"accommodate" - to be suitable for; contain comfortably;

+ It is never a matter of "deserving" - it is always a matter of love.

+ There is no fear in a "holy" silence.

+ How do My children "worship" Me in Spirit and in Truth [John 4:23-24]? With their "entire" lives [perfect obedience in every aspect of their lives and ministries]  moment to moment, day in and day out.

+ No man goes to Hell, except by their "own" choice and, truly I say to you, there is not one man in the past or in the future who will not, in some way, have had their "options" clearly laid out before them in the very center [core] of their being [2 Peter 3:9].

+ Those in "leadership" who have rejected, in one way or another, My holy apostles and prophets, shall not go "any further" [spiritually-speaking] until they repent and obey Me, and the follow the "instructions" that I have given them concerning My holy apostles and prophets!

+ I have called each and every one of My children to live within the "moment" - within the day. This is the way of faith and revelation, and this is the way of the Kingdom [Matthew 6:33].

+ If My children do not put themselves in a position to receive the revelation that everything they own [possess]  - spirit, soul, body and financially - is potential "seed" then they shall surely be held back by a "spirit of self-sufficiency" and/or a "spirit of money-mindedness" until such a time as they do.

+ The only true "lack" that any one of My children can ever have is a lack of perfect obedience.

"lack" - that which is absent or deficient; to be without; to be short of;

+ The way for each one of My children to truly "exalt" My Word[s] is to live them and obey them [John 14:15].

+ To the degree that one is in bondage to a "love of money", it is to that degree that they shall worry about "finances" and, thus, they shall lean upon their own understanding and "fuel" the will to sustain themselves through fear - apart from My perfect Provision and Will.

+ There is no "true" power apart from love.

+ Many of My children are so concerned with what others think that they have "lost sight" of what I think.

+ If one is not taking the provision of the Word and the Spirit then it is certain that they are "making a provision for the flesh" [Romans 13:14].

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[december 11th 2007]


+ A series of final warnings shall be given to those of My children who have hardened their heart against Me [Hebrews 3:7-13], and they will be called to make an [absolute] decision for Me or against Me - concerning "MY" Will for their life and ministry. I will make this choice very clear and, because of this, NO man will be able to look back and say that I am not a God of great mercy, longsuffering and justice [righteousness]. The hour is late - and truly, truly I say to you, although I desire for ALL of My children to walk in the "fullness" of the precious inheritance I have provided for them in My Dear Son, many have found their "security" in man [flesh and blood] through idolatry, and in the things of the "world". And even though they worship Me with their lips, their hearts have not been "wholly" given to Me and, thus, they are far from Me [My Will]. And it is because some will make [and some have already made] a "conscious" decision [by an act of their will] to conform to the things of the world, that they have removed themselves out from under the "protection" of My Covenant and, thus, they are [temporarily - if a deep and thorough repentance is forthcoming] without hope and without Me in the world. For the "whole" world lies in the "power" of the Evil One [1 John 5:19], and he has laid a snare[s] of great magnitude, for he seeks to destroy all of My children, and those who "allow" themselves to be lured by the spirit of the world will begin to "perish" [become "uncovered"; unprotected]. For I say to you, that great spiritual darkness shall continue to cover the earth and its peoples, but My glory shall rise upon My faithful and obedient children, and they shall be the glorious "light" [beacon] I have called them to be [Isaiah 60:1-3]; for they have unreservedly given their heart to Me and, because of this, they shall be exalted in the sight of all of My people, and they shall prosper superabundantly while others fail. They shall remain in health while others begin to perish [in their unbelief and rebellion], because they [My faithful and obedient ones] have hearkened to My Word, and because they have "known" and "heard" My voice. I have cried out to My people, and through My servants the holy apostles and prophets, I have continually spoken the deepest thoughts and intentions of My heart. But some of My people have continued to harden their heart against Me - and truly, truly I say to you, ALL will reap just as "they" have sown! Because [in their pursuit of self-desire] they have not sought for nor heard Me, I am obligated to honor "their" choice, and to the degree they have "allowed" themselves to be conformed to this world, to that degree will they also perish at the hands of the Evil One in this final hour.

[december 12th 2007]


+ One's "word" is only as good as the "quality of relationship" they have with Me and, thus, if any of My children seek to exist outside the place of "abiding" in My Word then it is certain that their actions will ALWAYS fall short of the words they have spoken. It is only as My children "abide" in My Word that they will, first, know which words to speak in any given situation [according to My Will and highest purpose], and THEN have the power to carry out the words they have spoken to perfection.

+ When one of My children encounters another's "mistrust" or "non-believing" of the words I have given them to speak [Ephesians 4:29] [those words being for their edification, and in perfect accordance with the deepest thoughts and intentions of My heart] then it is certain that the one in unbelief and mistrust has first mistrusted Me [My Word] in one or more areas of their own life [John 7:17].

+ To the degree one "holds part back" from Me it is to that degree that a "pall" prevents them from seeing the absolute truth of My Word [Will] and, thus, they are unable to discern the "ground" which Satan is working from in them - ground which prevents them from walking in [or even seeing] the "fullness" of the ministry [Kingdom-position] that they are called to, and which "allows" the Evil One to both attack them and control them - through fear.

"pall" - a dark, heavy covering, cloud; a gloomy or oppressive atmosphere;

+ If you want to do well in school find out what the "teacher" would have you do - and do it! If you want to do well [prosper] in life and ministry find out what I would have you do - and do it!

+ Persecution for "unrighteousness' sake" ALWAYS brings with it a certain emptiness and deep remorse [sorrow] - along with the deep realization that that one has "fallen short of the glory" [My highest will and purpose]. Persecution for righteousness' sake, on the other hand, always brings forth - deep within the heart - the assurance that they are in the center of My will. It also brings forth the "fullness" of My presence [the Spirit of Glory] which results in the supernatural deliverance [1 Peter 4:14], in the fullness of time, from "any" weapon that is formed against them [Isaiah 54:17].

+ It is only to the degree that one abides in the presence and power of the Holy Spirit that they are able to "make good" on the words that have proceeded forth from their mouth. For words that are spoken APART from My "revealed" will, and the unction of My Spirit, have a tendency to fall prey to the "foibles" and the self-seeking of the flesh - and seek to "control" another for their own selfish purposes. Whereas, words spoken in perfect accordance with My will and in the power of My Spirit shall always come to pass. For they contain within them the very presence of My power - the power that shall cause them to come to pass against all odds. One should never put their faith in the words of one who is walking apart from the Anointing for the words that they have spoken shall surely be rooted in "fear", darkness and selfishness - without exception.

"foible" - a personal weakness or failing;

+ One can "facilitate" and "expedite" the work that I desire to do in them through abiding in a perfect obedience. Yet, although they are able to "hinder' the inner working of the Cross through "disobedience" they can never accelerate it. For only I know the deepest fibre of their being, and only I know the "fullness of time" concerning entrance into the fullness of their Kingdom-position. It is a far better thing to learn while in obedience than while in disobedience [sin].

+ The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus transcends the law of sin and death - in Satan [Romans 8:2].

+ Human "love" [which is, in reality, selfishness "refined" to suit its own purposes and desires] is always "conditional". My love is always unconditional [1 Corinthians 13:4-8a].

+ Self-effort is sin.

+ Any word or action that is apart from Christ [the Anointed One and His Anointing] is a "selfish" action - even though it may "look and sound good" to the undiscerning heart.

+ All [permanent] failure is caused by a continual lack of obedience toward My [Word] Will"....

+ There is NEVER anything more important to do than what I am telling you to do in the "now".

+ It  takes the "fullness" of My Provision [grace - empowerment] for one to walk "above" the "tentacles" of the world.

+ The direct "wage" of disobedience is darkness.

+ There is no "good" [righteousness] in the "flesh" [Romans 7:18]. And it is indeed time for each one of My children to open wide their hearts and receive a clear and concise revelation of this fact. For failure to do so can only serve to keep them under the heel of the Evil One to some degree. Without a revelation of the fact that they can do nothing apart from Me, and without "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God" as the source of all their endeavour they will "unknowingly" set themselves as a hinderance to the "spotless and unblemished Church", and their feet shall surely remain "ensconced" in the mire and muck of the world. Beware My beloved children, for there is a most dangerous and pervading darkness encompassing all those whose allegiance remains with the "kingdom" of the world. But truly I say to you, the "darker" it gets the greater the contrast with the vessels of light that I shall send forth to every corner of the earth; and indeed the nations shall see a great light, and they shall hear a mighty and resounding word of love and truth - and they shall both see and experience a mighty "consuming fire" in their midst. For now is the time of an "unparalleled" judgement upon all those who would call themselves "Christian" [1 Peter 4:17]. And, thus, there shall be a swift and ever-widening gap between those of my children who truly love Me and those who do not. And indeed every man, woman and child's "allegiance" shall become evident in the midst of this raging fire, and there shall be nothing hidden for EVERY motive of the heart shall be disclosed and laid bare before Me and before all men, and the walls of tradition and denominationalism shall crumble and be scattered as dust in the wind and the so-called "power structure" [the organization of men] shall be humbled mightily. And, then, in a short time, by My great and awesome power, all those whose only purpose and only motivation is to carry out the fullness of My will, shall be bonded together as one in Christ - devoid of the self-interest, devoid of the self-motivation, devoid of the self-exaltation that, up until this time has been so prevalent amongst those in positions of leadership. And I shall surely have My way in the midst of My people and, truly I say to you, the product of this supernatural bonding shall produce signs and wonders and miracles such as the earth has never seen before - both in scope and in magnitude.

"ensconced" - to be fixed securely or comfortably in some place;

+ Because many of those in leadership who had once sought Me "pulled up short" - that is, they refused to let go wholly of "self-interest" [self-desire], they never put themselves in a position [in My presence] to receive an absolute and clear revelation for the "last days" of My Church in the earth and, thus, Satan was able to infiltrate their thought-life, and to a degree their words and their vision [doctrine] were "tainted" by a sin-consciousness. And, thus, they taught only "half-truths" [lies] concerning the suffering [for righteousness' sake] that I have called My children to and, because of these things, they have portrayed a bleak and unpleasant picture of true service. But let it be clearly understood that for every "ounce" of one's suffering for righteousness' sake My glory and My presence shall be in evidence a "hundred-fold" [1 Peter 4:14]. Indeed, "suffering" seems a very unpleasant matter to the "flesh", but to one who has a clear revelation of My will it is but a joyous opportunity to release My love and My truth and My light in the midst of the people. There are so many things I have on My heart, and desire to share with My children in these days. How blessed are those of My children whose hearts are open wide to Me. For I shall send forth My true ministers, and I will bless them and thrill them with My presence [love]. But again, let it be clearly understood that the same burning fire of My love shall consume "all" rebellion and sin in its path. Therefore, My beloved children, set your hearts and your minds on high. Bring every thought captive to a perfect obedience, and you shall SURELY know the deepest thoughts and intentions of My heart to a greater degree with each passing day.


"suffering" - The "suffering" that we are called to in this earth is to stand continually against all the things which we have been redeemed from. It is in no way associated with physical sickness or any other manifestation of the law of sin and death, but rather it is to continually release faith in the Word of God - regardless of the pressure of the circumstances which surround us. As our minds become transformed and renewed to the Word of God, "suffering" [for righteousness' sake] shall become the joyful opportunity to further establish God's Kingdom in the earth it was intended to be rather than the sorrowful, painful, concept "religion" has made it to be through unbelief! The time frame we are now entering into is like no other and we must all find our "proper position" within the framework of the "heavenly blueprint" through an "abiding" consecration unto the Father and His Word. Again, our "suffering" [for righteousness' sake] is the absolute and continual stand against ALL that we have been redeemed from in Christ – through an "abiding" faith, love and obedience.

+ To the degree that one of My children retains fear [unbelief] and, thus, retains a dependence upon "self", it is to that degree that the manifestation of My character [Person] through them is "defective" [a misrepresentation]. In this final hour each one of My children must open their hearts wide to receive a revelation of My "absoluteness" - an absoluteness that pertains to all matters [both spiritual and physical] otherwise they will be found lacking in their "service" to Me, and the "direct result" or product of this lack in My "ministers" shall be the failure of those who "sit under" them to receive a revelation of the "fullness" of their precious inheritance in Christ.

JESUS:

+ The same "spirit" that causes My people to act "presumptuously, as they attempt to "adhere" to the "Great Commission" [Mark 16:15-18], is the same spirit [the spirit of self-sufficiency] that has kept them apart from a "perfect obedience". Thus causing them to be "unprepared", and "void of the power and faith it takes to believe that the "actions" they carry out will effect a "true deliverance" in the ones they minister to. Is this not why there is a "definite" power shortage in the "ministers" of healing? For indeed, faith in oneself [and "their" ability to discern, in any way, My Word and the voice of My Spirit] shall "never" generate the power necessary to "defeat" [push back] the Evil One!

Is this not also why there has been a "vast" failure in the efforts of many to "evangelize" the world? Truly I say to you, when I said, "Go into all the world and preach the Gospel" [of the Kingdom], and when I said, "They shall lay hands on the sick and they will recover", and when I said, "They shall cast out demons in My name," I never gave these commands as some sort of "general statement" - but, as with every command I give, I demand a "perfect obedience". That is, first, the "reception" of a  revelation of the Fathers Will and, second, the unction of the Holy Spirit in applying divine "wisdom" to the given revelation in the moment when "action" is required by Me. Truly I say to you, every one of the works I call My people to do must be "wrought" by a "sufficiency" found only in Me. For the "pride of the flesh is sufficient for nothing but the "experiencing" of darkness and bondage and death on the part of all those who "lean" upon it [Proverbs 3:5; Galatians 6:7-8]!

+ All fear is "unreal" where My Word [Will] is concerned [allowed entrance] [1John 4:18].

+ There are times when one of My children is called to "walk in love" that it will look, both to them and to the one[s] they are ministering to, as if their actions seem unkind or unduly harsh - but, in reality, they are walking in an "absolute love"[perfect obedience] before Me. If the one being loved "chooses" to become offended, it is because they are "viewing" through carnal eyes, and if the one called to minister [speak] the truth in love "allows" themselves to become "uncertain" of the "source" of their action, then, that too is a result of viewing through carnal eyes - due to the fear of man.

+ When one of My children "chooses" to "make a provision for the flesh" [Romans 13:14], the choice that they make can never be "beneficial" only "detrimental" to the process of sanctification".

+ The reason that many of My children are "trapped" by Satan into remaining apart from the perfect fellowship with Me that I desire with them in the inner chamber is that they, in their disobedience and sinfulness, keep their conscience in a "state of defilement" and, thus, "unconsciously" they continue to "drift" further and further from My presence [2 Corinthians 7:1; 1 John 3:21-22].

+ It is not only a matter of being in the place of abiding in order to "receive" My blessings; it is necessary for My children to remain in that place that they might fully "appreciate" and handle properly the blessings - according to the fullness of My purpose [Genesis 12:1-3].

+ It is only when one has "sin" actively working in their lives that they "take offense" at a wrong [real or imagined] done to them [1 Corinthians 13:5].

+ If My children will lay aside "every" encumbrance, then "sin" will not be able to "entangle" them, and thus they shall run, with endurance [divine empowerment], the race that is set before them [Hebrews 12:1-4].

+ To "regard reproof" [instruction] is to both receive it and to "act" [obey] in accordance with it [James 2:17; Hebrews 12:10b].

+ It is to the degree that one "allows barriers" to be raised up in their relationship with Me that they "allow" barriers to be raised up between themselves and others in the Body of Christ.

+ There is a "distinct" difference between "patience" [obedient waiting] and "passivity"; for patience is rooted and grounded in love, and passivity is rooted and grounded in fear [2 Timothy 1:7].

+ My children should never be preparing for the "worst", but for the "best".

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[december 20th 2007]


+       If My children refuse to come to, and remain in, the place of "abiding", then their "zealousness" for My works will always have its source in a "knowledge and inspiration" [motivation] that is not of Me.

+       If those of My children who have been blessed to a great degree financially do not continue on in obedience to My Word [Will], and hearken to the voice of My Spirit when I call upon them to "give" in the areas where I desire My "true Body" to be established, then they are little more than "Satanic reservoirs"; and in their "prolonged" disobedience and sinfulness, they shall "allow" the Evil One to "dissipate" their prosperity. But if they will obey, then truly I say to you, not only will they continually "prosper to a greater degree", but also , Satan will not be able to "touch " anything that belongs to them [1 John 5:18]. For no weapon that is formed [against them] shall ever prosper against all those who walk in a perfect obedience [Isaiah 54:17]!

+       As many of My children go forth to preach the Gospel, their fear of what the "world" thinks of them "overrides" the anointing that abides within them and, thus, renders them incapable of leading those, both in the church and in the world, into a "true" repentance from their sinful ways - a true repentance that would allow each repentant one to experience the "fullness" of their salvation, in Christ. For if in their heart one places the world and its opinions above the establishment of My Kingdom - without any regard whatsoever for anything other than My "opinion" [Will] and the power of My Spirit, then surely they will be as "fools" in the eyes of the "children of darkness". For it is only a "true" love that shall overcome the evil and the darkness in men's hearts in this last hour.

+       Always remember, that "true belief" [believing] can NEVER be separated from perfect obedience.

+ There is a "growing resentment" amongst many of My children against all those who strive for the "perfection" in Christ I desire for each one of My children to walk in. Fear not! And do not "allow" yourself to be dismayed by the unbelieving words of those of My children who have made themselves "enemies of the Cross" [Philippians 3:18-19]. Only keep your eyes fixed upon My Word in order that you might expose "all" the darkness and the lies which you are confronted with.

+ In this last hour, it shall be seen that all words and actions are either righteous or unrighteous. For "good and bad", "moral and immoral", have no true definition apart from My Word and My wisdom. Therefore, it is only as one inclines their heart fully towards the carrying out of My will that they will have the "assurance" in their heart that their actions and words are "good or bad", "moral or immoral", righteous or unrighteous.

+ What many of My children have yet to realize fully is that I hold them "accountable" for all of their "unconscious" motivations.  For is it not written that I "weigh the thoughts and intentions of the heart" [1 Samuel 16:7b]? It is only as My children seek to abide in My Word that their mind shall be renewed to a constant degree, wherein they will be able to "discern" any motivation which has departed from a "perfect love".

+ It is a basic fundamental of "human" nature [the flesh] to continually exalt itself above another. It is only the godly character of a pure and gentle [sensitive] spirit that seeks at ALL times to humble itself first before Me and, as a product of this, seeks to exercise a "perfect love" [perfect obedience] on the behalf of all those who "cross their path".

+ When I call My children to "calculate the cost", the cost they are calculating is the choice between abundant life and the death and darkness which comes from "any" alignment with the Evil One and his lies. If one truly seeks to "calculate the cost" then they shall not be long in coming to a clear revelation that My will, at anytime, is the best course for them. When one of My children continually calculates the cost, and thus continually chooses life over death, then in due time their "struggle" will lessen and they shall no longer make any provision for the flesh. The call to "calculate the cost" was never meant by Me to be a "hard thing", but rather it is a "necessary point in time" where My children must choose their "allegiance" [Luke 14:25-33]. For it is in this choosing that they fix themselves "wholly" upon the thing which they have chosen, and if they have chosen My provision then they shall continue on from faith to faith and glory to glory, to fulfill the ministry that I have called them to.

+ If a "blessing" is obtained through the devices of a "spirit of fear" then the one who exercised fear in order to obtain that which they desired, will remain in bondage to fear as they seek to "cling" to that which they have obtained through the "impure" motives of the "flesh". On the other hand, as one exercises faith in My perfect will [Word] to meet their "every" need and desire, not only, through a steadfast faith, will they obtain the "true blessing", but as they continue on in love, they will remain in the position wherein nothing can steal that blessing away from them.

+ "Spiritual pride" [self-righteousness] is a far greater force, and has greater "effect" than a natural or "worldly" pride. The spiritual pride I speak of can only be found in one who has been "born-again". If one of My children fails to enter in by the narrow gate THEN they "allow" themselves to be guided and influenced by the forces of darkness. Because of these things, they remain in a place wherein "self" is still on the throne of their heart and, thus, they are "devoid" of any true spiritual knowledge [revelation], and their motivations and goals are not of Me, and the "kingdom" [ministry] they seek to establish is one wherein they themselves are exalted. I do not say that these ones are "conscious" of their folly; indeed, they have "allowed" themselves to be deluded and, thus, they can do nothing other than abuse the "authority" they have been given as a child of Mine; for they do not seek to establish "My" Kingdom in love, but rather they seek to establish themselves in a position wherein they are continually esteemed by flesh and blood - without any "true" regard for the Truth.

Truly I say to you, these "unholy ones", these sons and daughters of disobedience, are a short time from stepping out [in their rebellion] beyond the "covenants of promise" that continually protect all those who truly love Me - those who are always seeking to exercise faith and walk in love at all cost to themselves. And though it grieves My heart [My Spirit] to see any of My children turn their back on My Word [Will], nevertheless, the "fullness of time" has arrived for the "absoluteness" of My Judgement upon My house to be manifested [1 Peter 4:17].  For as I look upon many of the congregations of My people I see much fear and much sin and, thus, much evidence of the deadly effects of the "law of sin and death"! Indeed, unless My leaders are "abiding" in Christ, then there is NO way for them to "supercede" the "curse of disobedience" [the law of sin and death] [Deuteronomy 28:15-68; Romans 8:1-2], and now you shall begin to see clearly, those in My Church who have truly loved Me and those who have not! For Satan and his forces shall begin to "claw" and "maul" all those who have "wandered" out into his territory [the world] and aligned themselves with his lies - through their own pride and rebellion! But all those who have reverenced Me, and esteemed My Name above every other name, I will begin to exalt [give them a platform] in the sight of the nations, and they will rise up on wings of eagles in great power and glory and, because of these things, vast numbers shall both see and experience the reality of My Kingdom in this hour.

+ All those of My children who have sought Me from a pure heart are able to discern the things I speak of. The ones who shall be "trapped" by the Evil One are the very ones who have a "false revelation" [mental ascension - preconceived notion] of My grace and My mercy, a "revelation of darkness" that "assures" them that they can do just as they please, because they have become deluded into believing that there is always forgiveness for their "wilful and rebellious" words and actions - even though they never truly repent. But truly I say to you, there is no such thing as an automatic forgiveness for a rebellious and "unrepentant" heart!  For the unrepentant heart seeks not its forgiveness with a view to a perfect obedience in the carrying out of My will, but so that it may continue on in its evil ways - deceived into believing that somehow they are in right-standing with Me! Is it not written that I am not mocked, and that what a man sows, that he will also reap? Hold fast My beloved ones, for the time for Me to "exalt" all those of My "chosen ones" - all those who have sought only to carry out My will - has come. Indeed, all those of My children who are seeking after righteousness shall "know" in their hearts and "see" with their eyes a great "void" in the leadership of My Church, and in one accord they shall cry out to Me for the advent of a true working five-fold ministry, and I shall send forth My holy apostles and prophets [Ephesians 4:11-16] to help "lift up" My children to the plane [sphere] of holiness and righteousness that exists far above the "principalities and powers", and all the hosts of darkness [Ephesians 1:17-23]. And, THEN, shall the earth [the world and the religious church] see My true Church in all Her Glory, and the world in all its darkness shall be "turned upside down" and, because of these things, multitudes shall begin to "flow towards the one, true Light!

+ To the degree that one of My children takes a "preconceived notion", it is to that degree that they fall short of "perfect obedience". The very reason that it is called a preconceived notion is because it is a product of the old nature [the flesh] and, in reality, is a thought "taken" [believed in] before a "revelation" is received in the spirit man through the Holy Spirit. This is why one will always fall short of a perfect obedience unless their spirit man is continually kept in a position of dominance over the soul and the body.

+ All "failure" is the direct result of a departure from the love-walk - for love [faith - obedience] NEVER fails!

+ To the degree that one of My children remains "undisciplined" it is to that degree that their "thinking" [thought-life] is apart from My Word [2 Corinthians 10:5].

+ Any time one of My children "maintains" sin in their life they are under the influence of a "spirit of independence" - which manifests in a non-dependence upon [and mistrust of] Me.

+ "Needs" in Philippians 4:19 are those things that only I truly know for each individual - according to the highest purposes of My Kingdom. As your heart is filled with My Word, and you are, thus, transformed by the renewing of your mind, those heart desires and needs are expressed and believed for in prayer - and, then, met perfectly according to My riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Because of these things, all that is a product of self-desire is no longer sought after, and your relationship with Me shall be continually refined to a greater degree.

+ I have never asked a question of My children whereof an answer was not commanded, for you are My partners in covenant; do I not have the right?

+ I desire My children to be in a constant state of "giving". Each one of My children need to come to the point where they are seeking to give in some way, spirit, soul, body or materially at any given time - in order to meet fully the need of the moment for every being who crosses their path. I have said in My Word give and it shall be given to you, and as My children give I will see to it that they are blessed with the wealth and riches of My Kingdom, and that they are continually able to give to a greater degree on every level - and, because of these things, My Covenant will be established in the earth [the hearts of the people] at an accelerated pace [Deuteronomy 8:18].

+ Those of My children who persist in relying on their own darkened understanding rather than a revelation of My Word [Will] shall, in the comfort they have sought to attain by their alliance with the lies of the Enemy, be in a state of continual need - spirit, soul, body and materially - and darkness will abound both in them and around them until such a time as a deep and thorough repentance is forthcoming.

+ In the face of persecutions simply continue to walk in love [obey Me] and rejoice [Matthew 13:57]!

+ There is a great deal of difference between "questioning" [righteous motive) and "questioning" [unrighteous motive] what one has already said.

+ The reason why many of My children have such little knowledge of the "true" Christian life [the fullness of their Covenant and inheritance] is because they stand in the place of rebelliousness [self-desire] with their backs turned to My Word, and their "hands over their ears" - in order that they might not hear the voice of My Spirit. But truly I say to you, if one shall "turn" and take their "hands" from their ears in this hour they shall indeed come into the fullness of the knowledge [revelation] that is necessary for them to both enter into their true "Kingdom-position", and be victorious in every aspect of their lives [Romans 8:37].

+ For every need, and desire, and "vision" [revelation], that I give  you - or impress" upon your heart - concerning  "physical  materials" [lands, houses etc.] and the anointings [people] necessary for the work of the ministry that I have  called you to, simply continue to believe and trust in Me, through a perfect obedience, for all things  to come to "full fruition" in My perfect timing and unfolding [Mark 10:29-31].

+ The time has come for the chaff to be separated from the wheat in the midst of My people. For many of My children have continually resisted My call to holiness and, because of this, they have allowed themselves to become firmly entrenched in the Evil One's territory [the world], and he has mounted a continual campaign to lead them into the pit by deceiving them at every turn and, in their self-desire and rebellion, they run headlong towards the trap which has been set for them - without even knowing it. The rulers of the darkness of this world are working furiously to bring destruction and death to My people [before they enter into the fullness of their precious inheritance in Christ - a place of great power and authority] and, in many cases they have been given abundant opportunity to do so - and because of this I am grieved to a great degree. Have I not spoken in My Word, "take heed therefore that the light that is in you be not darkness [Luke 11:35]?" Have I not spoken also that the friendship of the world is enmity with Me? And again, that "whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God [James 4:4]?" Why do My people forsake Me for the darkness, fear and torment that are the certain by-product of fellowship with the world? Why do they make My word of no account in their lives - choosing to believe the lies and false doctrines that are running rampant in the midst of those whose hearts are not wholly given to Me? For truly I say to you, I desire to lead them victoriously EVERY moment of their existence. But they, through their own arrogant pride and haughtiness, have "allowed" themselves to be deceived by Satan and, thus, they have sought after the "wisdom" that is NOT from above, but which is earthly, sensual and devilish. Is it not written, "I am opposed to the proud, but give grace to the humble [James 4:6]?" Truly, truly I say to you, in this hour ALL of My children shall reap exactly what they have sown to. BLESSED is the one who is found trusting in Me, alone! BLESSED is the one found seeking to walk by revelation in all things, and not by sight [their own understanding]! BLESSED is the one whose heart is wholly given to the fullness of My Will for their life and ministry - for they shall surely be found accomplishing all that I created them for from before the foundations of the earth. A great sifting shall now begin to take place in the midst of My people [1 Peter 4:17] - for I have a great and magnificent work to do in the earth through a "spotless and unblemished" Church. And through My holy vessels My will shall be done on earth as it is in Heaven and, thus, My glory [the weight of My presence] shall fill the earth. Truly I say to you, all of these things that I have spoken shall come to pass in ways that shall amaze the multitudes in this final hour!

        In My Word did I not admonish My people to build their foundation upon the Rock of revealed knowledge [Matthew 7:24-27], yet even at this late hour they seek only to build castles of sand. I say to you this day, that My Spirit shall flow forth in "torrents" in this final hour [John 7:38], and all that is not of Me shall be exposed for exactly what it is, in the lives of My children; for the consuming fire of My Spirit shall purify My household, and My spotless and unblemished Church shall stand before Me. Are not all these things I have spoken written in My Word? I say to you this day My beloved children, repent! Draw near to Me and I shall surely draw near to you [James 4:8]. Cleanse your hands you who have sin, for in keeping yourselves in your sinful ways, you have made the precious Blood of the Lamb of no effect in your lives. It is the spirit of anti-Christ who seeks to deny Me in every way, and yet many of My people still hearken to the voice of the Evil One, and continue to ignore both My Spirit and My Word. Purify your hearts you who are double-minded! Lean not on your own understanding any further. Trust Me with ALL of your heart, and in all of your ways acknowledge Me and I will surely make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes, but rather present yourselves unto Me a living and holy sacrifice. Turn away from evil and cast all your care upon Me, and I will care for you. For I love you and desire to fellowship with you and give you every good thing that I have provided for you [Psalm 84:10-12].  Only humble yourselves before Me that I might exalt you [give you a platform], for truly I say to you, My eyes search to and fro throughout the earth that I might show Myself strong on behalf of those who walk uprightly before Me. Establish your heart for the day of the Lord draws near - a day in which He will come TO His Church before He comes FOR His Church.

I shall move on their behalf in all that they set their hand to, and they shall be prosperous and successful in all things because of their obedience to My Word [Will]. In this hour, the world shall continually see great signs and wonders in the lives of My faithful and obedient ones, and all shall know that they belong to Me and that it is My hand which is upon them. Do not think, for even a moment, that I have not seen every ounce of faith [love] exercised by My children - and again I say to you they shall see their reward!

+ I say to you, My beloved ones, that the day shall come, and now is, when My people shall begin to cry out to Me from a pure heart, and they shall seek My counsel and they shall regard My holy apostles and prophets, and the Word that is spoken forth from My Throne Room. It is not My desire to see My children wallow in their despair, but the "desperate" situations that they have "allowed" themselves to be ensnared in are clearly a product of their intense desire to lean upon their own understanding, rather than the godly wisdom that resides within them in the person of My Spirit. Have I not said in My Word, "put your trust in the Lord your God and you will be established?" Have I not also said, "Put your trust in My prophets and succeed [2 Chronicles 20:20]?" Men who seek to operate in and form plans based on their "own" fleshly wisdom [self-agenda] will continue on in their plans in an effort to establish them. It is when with their five physical senses, they begin to discern "failure" that they will turn to Me with a pure heart and, thus, put themselves in a position to hear My voice. I will not waste the time of My servants, the holy apostles and prophets, in sending them to speak My Word to those who have hardened their hearts against Me; for quite simply they would only "pretend" to hear, with no intent of heart to act on what was spoken to them. The days of My Glorious Church are at hand, and truly, truly I say to you, I shall now begin to exalt those who have humbled themselves before Me in the eyes of all My people. It must be clearly understood that the days of carnality in My church are at an end - for have I not desired a "spotless and unblemished" Church? And, indeed, My glory [the weight of My presence] shall fill the earth. I say to you again, I shall honor to a great degree those who have laid aside the things of this world for the sole purpose of drawing near to Me. Indeed, I will do exceeding abundantly beyond their fondest dreams, and I will "thrill" their hearts to the core. For it is the time for the "revealing" of My sons and daughters in the earth - and truly I say to you, both the religious church and the world will see all those who are truly Mine [Malachi 3:16-4:3]!
