EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father’s Heart]

[DECEMBER 1ST 2006]

+ The key to obtaining "spiritual knowledge" [revelation] is a pure heart.

+ If one is not being "controlled" by the Spirit of faith in any given moment then it is certain that they are "allowing" themselves to be controlled by the (a) spirit of fear.

+ If one is truly committed to Me then they are committed to "living in the now".

+ You must remember, My beloved ones, that as the Anointing that abides within you flows freely it will "provoke" demonic activity at "certain" times. This is exactly why you must always be in a continual state of "readiness".

+ To the degree that one trusts in themselves it is to that degree that they will lean upon their own understanding.

+ My call to to My holy apostles and prophets to "elevate" My people is just simply the beginning of [prelude to] that most glorious "Final Elevation"!

+ When the Evil One is attempting to "lure" My children apart from any aspect of My will, he does not always "blatantly" attempt to introduce a thought which will "alert" My child of his schemes. But rather, he - over a period of time - will attempt to introduce subtle thoughts which seem "spiritual", but which have their root and source in the "mind of Satan" [the mind of the flesh], and their entrance in the "soul" of man (mind-will-emotions). This is precisely why every one of My children must be diligent in bringing every thought captive to a "perfect obedience" [a revelation of My Will] and, thus, continually cast down any "speculations" and refuse to take any "preconceived notions". For I communicate with My children, "Spirit to spirit". Always remember this: "all" revelation of My will (the deepest thoughts and intentions of My heart) is revealed first in the spirit of a man [woman]! Any "thoughts" will always have their source in one of two places: either in the spirit of a man [woman] - that "revelation" then surfacing as the "spiritual thought" in the "renewed mind" - or a thought taken through the influence of the Evil One in a "sense-ruled" man [woman], and then surfacing in the mind, the will and the emotions. These latter "thoughts" always being in a perfect enmity to My will.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father’s Heart]

[DECEMBER 2ND 2006]

+ "Non-profitable" things held to in the lives of My children "lead" to sin.

+ It is self-will [pride-rebellion] - and the ensuing "seeking after self-desire" - that will keep one out of the "proper position" they need to be in to receive the "continual" revelation that is needed for them to be in "the right place at the right time" all of the time - concerning the establishment of My Glorious Church, and Kingdom in this final hour.

+ My children must come to the "full realization" that there are spiritual implications and consequences - good or bad - behind "every" physical action they carry out and every word that they speak [Ephesians 4:29].

+ If one of My children "maintains" - in any way - an "emotional attachment" with any person (or persons) then they shall have a strong tendency to view them as "flesh and blood" in their daily dealings with them, and thus when Satan attempts to enter in - as he surely will - they shall fail to take the "proper" authority over "any" demonic activity, for they will have "lost sight of" the revelation that their battle is NEVER against "flesh and blood", but against the spiritual forces of wickedness attempting to work through them (flesh and blood)!

+ If one "truly" humbles themselves before Me then they shall never be afraid of [avoid] any necessary "chastisement" (correction rooted in divine love) [Hebrews 12:5-6].

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father’s Heart]

[DECEMBER 3rd 2006]

+ As long as one keeps their eyes upon themselves they are "useless" (unfit - unusable) to be used in the establishment of My Kingdom and the "proper" edification [elevation] of My Church.

+ One must "have faith" in order to "have no fear".

+ My children cannot go where I would have them go in this last hour unless their spirit-man is continually in dominance over their soul and body.

+ There is nothing that can hold My children back in this last hour except for fear and selfishness.

+ A "single eye" towards Me produces great light [godly desire]. A "single eye" towards one's "self" [self-desire] produces "great" darkness.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father’s Heart]

[DECEMBER 4th 2006]

+ If My children do not walk with both of their feet firmly planted in My Kingdom then how will those caught in the "bondage" of their sin (the unrighteous) "know" that there is a "Kingdom" for them to inherit?

+ "All" selfishness [pride] manifests itself in a form of "contempt" for the precious Blood of Jesus.

+ What I require of every one of My children is a simple concept: perfect obedience. What every one of My children must realize is that the only thing that can "complicate" the simplicity (purity) of a perfect obedience is if they "maintain" any element of "self-desire" in their lives.

+ If one maintains "any" ground of fear (selfishness) then they shall "override" the "force of patience", for truly I say to you, if one maintains self-desire then their words and their actions will automatically conform to their "fleshly" goal. On the other hand as one humbles themselves before Me and thus they gain a revelation of My will (Word) then automatically from the moment they make the "quality decision" to believe for the full manifestation of My will in their lives, in any given situation, the force of faith and patience begins to operate regardless of what Satan attempts to "derail" them with in his "certain assault" on their five physical senses.

+ The love and wisdom abiding within My faithful ones shall "draw" like a powerful magnet all those with whom they have to do - according to My will and purpose [divine connections].

+ The "force of wisdom" draws financial wealth - and indeed all manner of the "true" prosperity - towards whosoever shall continually release that force within them - through a perfect obedience.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father’s Heart]

[DECEMBER 5th 2006]

+ If, by faith [and obedience], one does not "allow" the Holy Spirit to continually do the deepest work of the Cross in them then, to a certain degree, they shall allow themselves to be "controlled" by a "spirit of presumption" (rebellion).

+ "All" self-desire [self-agenda] leads only to failure, and their is no "failure" in My Glorious Church - for "perfect love NEVER fails!

+ The maintenance of any self-desire shall always lead one under the "control" of a spirit of deception. But truly I say to you, as I send forth My holy apostles and prophets in this last hour the light that abides within them - and which flows forth out of them as they speak the words that I have given them - shall expose "all" deception abiding within the hearts and minds of My people. And because of this all those who truly love Me shall be set free and they shall draw ever closer to Me. But to those who love "death" and "darkness" more than Me they shall be "forced" to flee a "great distance" from those places where My Word and My Spirit are being poured out [true spiritual environments], and thus shall one be able to distinguish (discern) between those of My people who love Me and those of My people who do not. And one shall also be able to distinguish (discern) between those who serve Me and those who do not; between those of My people who "know" Me (intimately) and those who do not "know" Me (intimately).

+ "It is "self-desire" [self-agenda] that "cripples" My children's "ability" (the Anointing) to both hear and act on that which My Spirit is speaking to them continually.

+ My children must not take any "preconceived notions" of how I will "provide" for them. For if they do, they shall surely not be able to discern My "provision" properly and, thus, they shall always find themselves bound with some form of lack. And this "cycle" of lack -  set in motion by their "self-desire" - shall continually spiral (expand) until such a time as that one sets themselves in My "presence".

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father’s Heart]

[DECEMBER 6th 2006]

+ Every one of My children, in any given moment, is going to be found "having faith" or "having fear".

+ In the past nearly two thousand years, you have seen certain individuals, and even small remnants (groups) of My people, abide in a perfect obedience and you have seen the impact of their lives upon both the church and the "world". But it is certain that compared to what you are about to see, these lives - as glorious as they were - are just a "glimpse" compared to the "soon manifestation" of the Glorious Church through which the entire earth shall be filled with My Glory - a remnant of My people through whom the "former and the latter rain" shall be poured out as a "flood". There is no possible way for any one of you to fully comprehend "at this time" the "magnitude" of the "impact" that this outpouring shall have in one way or another on "every facet" of human existence before you leave the earth. Have I not spoken to you previously saying, "There is no limit to what I can accomplish through one who will diligently keep their spirit-man in dominance over their soul and body?

One then can "begin" to imagine what will happen in this earth when thousands upon thousands of My children begin to guard their hearts with "all" diligence! Certain hospitals shall "supernaturally" be emptied as My power flows down every hall way and throughout every room - driving out every sickness and disease and the "spirits" behind them. And the "spirit of death" - the final foe - shall literally be put to flight before the "continuous onslaught" of My children in this last hour!

Even this slight glimpse into the time of the Glorious Church is "mind-boggling" apart from the Spirit of wisdom and revelation! And thus your only recourse, as My precious sons and daughters is to abide moment to moment in the "Spirit of wisdom and revelation" so that each one of you individually - as you are diligent to obey - can bring about the divinely ordained, corporate, glorious manifestation of the Body of Christ in this last hour. For My children to walk in anything less than "revelation" - moment to moment, day to day, would serve only to impede this most glorious outpouring. One thing that I have made superabundantly clear in My Word is this: in this last hour "all those" who "truly" desire to be completely freed shall be completely freed and all those who "refuse" to be freed shall abide in an ever increasing state of death, darkness, torment and bondage!

Therefore, let all those who truly love Me be diligent in their handling of My Word that they might be found "abiding" in the place of absolute freedom - the secret place of My presence. For it is certain that where My Spirit is there is the "freedom" (liberty) to carry out the fulness of My will for their lives - along with the "abiding power" (the Anointing) to set the captives free wherever  " I " send them.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father’s Heart]

[DECEMBER 7th 2006]

+ Every time that one of My children acts on a revelation of My will by the unction of My Spirit a "scheme" of Satan is devastated!

+ If one "maintains" a fear of "lack" then regardless of how much "self-effort" - which is continually "fuelled" by this fear - attempts to accumulate "security" through the "hoarding" of finances and the attaining of "possessions" they shall still experience to a continually greater degree in their lives the very thing that they had feared [lack]! Only a "thorough repentance" before Me shall cause that one to "rise above" the "schemes" that the "spirit of poverty" is attempting to carry out against them.

+ The spirit of self-exaltation - and its "manoeuvers" - are easily discernible to those of My children who are abiding in My Word.

+ As you continue to abide in perfect love, My beloved ones, there shall be many manifestations of "answers to prayer" in these days concerning all those that you have been in intercession for over the years.

+ An "increased and acute" discernment [wisdom] is the chief characteristic of all those who are walking in the "narrow path" of perfect obedience in this last hour.

+ If one does not acknowledge Me in "all" their ways then they shall "surely" direct their own paths [lean upon their own understanding].

+ The anointing abiding within My children is "sufficient"! Sufficient for what?  All!

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father’s Heart]

[DECEMBER 8th 2006]

+ If one is not going to abide in a state of "continual revelation" then they shall abide in a state of "continual mental ascension" to My Word [Will].

+ Those who have "ignored" the words that I have spoken through My holy apostles and prophets, to any degree, have done so because they are "entrenched" in a "mind-set" that they have formulated, and thus they "refuse" to accept the "paradigm" shift in their thinking that I desire to accomplish with "every" word that I speak concerning My Glorious [spotless and unblemished] Church.

+ It is the "revelation" released through the speaking of My anointed Word that will "effect" a "paradigm" shift in the hearts of all those who will hear.

+ Many of My children "fear" the life of the Cross (self-denial; obedience unto the death of the soul-life (psuche), and thus they "bypass" it and they "seek" to walk in resurrection-life - and the blessings therein. But truly I say to you, without a "continual" abiding in the Spirit of the "Cross" they shall never find what they are looking for. For My Cross and My Resurrection and My Ascension [Authority] are "inseparable"! They are the sum total of the "holiness" I require of, and have provided for, each one of My children.

+ To the degree that one "allows" their soul and body to be in dominance over their spirit-man it is to that degree that they exalt themselves - and the "kingdom of this world" - over My Word and the Kingdom of Heaven.

+ The key to "maintaining" the "love-walk" - day in and day out - is for My children to spend the "required" time with Me in intimate and personal fellowship.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father’s Heart]

[DECEMBER 9th 2006]

+ The "spirit of the world", in "all" that it says and does, promotes the "lie" that there is no such thing as a "last days".

+ My people "must" believe that I am who I say I am and that I will do what I said I would do! Is it not written I am watching over My Word to perform it? If My people will just simply trust Me then I shall surely show them what it means when I said, I will "give them the desires of their heart." For as they acknowledge Me in "all" their ways then I shall be enabled to place My "perfect desires" in their heart and thus they will in no way "allow" the Evil One to deceive them with false desires - desires that, as they are sought after, shall surely lead My children continually farther from My "best" for their lives and ministries.

+ "All" authority [Luke 10:19] goes hand in hand with "all" diligence [Proverbs 4:23].

+ For one of My children to be moved by what they "feel" is a certain by-product of the "greater desire" to lean upon one's own understanding and to exalt oneself rather than to humble themselves before Me - which is the certain by-product of a deep desire to love Me with all their heart and to carry out the fulness of My will for their lives in perfect obedience.

+ As one keeps their spirit-man in dominance over their soul and body - through abiding in a perfect obedience - then they release continually all the "forces" of the spirit-man [faith, wisdom, love, righteousness etc.], and they set in motion every law (principle) that "subsists" under the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus [the law of increase, the law of divine restoration etc.].

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father’s Heart]

[DECEMBER 10th 2006]

+ In these most glorious days, one must continually seek to be "fine-tuned" by the Spirit of "fine-tuning".

+ You have discerned correctly, My beloved one. These past number of years I have set you apart unto Myself in order to "reveal" and "work out" in your own life the glorious plan that I have for My Church in this last hour.

+ A "decision" has been made by ________ .

+ There are many of My bondservants and handmaidens walking in a position of leadership in My church, even now, who shall benefit greatly from the time that they spend with you in the days ahead.

+ It is better to be hated and despised for speaking words and carrying out actions that are the direct product of your abiding in divine love than to seek after that "artificial [counterfeit-soulish] love that is "always" the direct by-product of an agreement with "any" word or action that is outside of My Word [Will]!

+ You are going to be "picking up" ________ in intercession in these coming days.

JESUS:

+ I was never a "bluffer"! [John 6:66-67]


***   Regarding "blanks" [empty lines]:   If that particular word is quickened by the Holy Spirit to "whosoever" is reading it then He will fill in the blank [name] according to their own personal circumstances as a direct word of knowledge [wisdom], and with it will come a revelation of exactly how it applies to them.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father’s Heart]

[DECEMBER 11th 2006]

+ I speak the "end" from the beginning. The end is not the beginning and the beginning is not the end.

+ Did I not say that perfect obedience [holiness] is the quickest way home [the "catching away" of the Church]? Therefore, from this, one can see clearly that it is only "heart-fellowship" with the world and the "doctrines of man" that can "prolong" one's stay in the earth!

+ I "said" - and, therefore, you "know".

+ Many shall "accuse" you [religiously] of showing a "profound disrespect" for both My Word [Will] and for Me [My character]. They shall be shown to be wrong - by My great and awesome power!

+ As you go forth in perfect obedience [love], My beloved one, you shall surely have this prayer ["shepherds" at the "crossroads" set free from stubbornness and rebellion;] answered mightily [Jeremiah 23 - Matthew 23].

+ These daily exhortations [reflections] are anointed to not only lead those I have called to the five-fold ministry into the "fulness" of their inheritance in Christ it is also to help them - as they "abide" in that fulness - to both minister to, and set free any, and all, captives in the midst of those I have given to them.

+ You know what it is like in the "high altitudes" [the Glory], My beloved one!

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father’s Heart]

[DECEMBER 12th 2006]

+ You shall "turn many heads", My beloved one!

+ All those of My children who "seek" to condemn and criticize love unrighteousness more than My righteousness [right way of doing things - love]. For truly I say to you, the one who truly loves Me would never dare to exalt themselves over others in such a way.

+ It is as My children "resist" the Holy Spirit and His ministry that they "allow" the Evil One to formulate his schemes against them. His [Satan's] first aim is to deceive them into holding onto those "things" which are no longer theirs in Christ [sin-consciousness, poverty, sickness, hatred, unworthiness etc.].

+ As one of My children diligently seeks Me concerning a "thorough repentance" of any "ground of sin" within them then truly I say to you, I shall remove it from them "eternally"! And thus, they shall come into a continually deeper revelation and experience of a "righteousness-consciousness" [and the fullness of their inheritance].

+ There has been much abuse suffered by My people at the hands of a rebellious and self-serving "leadership" but they must never allow themselves to be held by a "spirit of unforgiveness" - for if they do they shall end up being held captive by the same self-serving ways they saw previously in those "counterfeit" leaders. As those of My children who have been harmed in some way by those in "authority" humble themselves before Me and forgive any previous transgressions against them THEN I shall surely lead them to those delegated authorities who are abiding in My love and, thus, they shall "begin" to be "elevated" into the fulness of their inheritance in Christ as they partake of the anointing upon that ministry.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father’s Heart]

[DECEMBER 13th 2006]

+ The "fasted life" includes no "maintaining" of self-desire.

+ The "fleshly desire" to "help" Me in the carrying out of My will (mental ascension) may begin as a simple desire to "assist" but its ultimate purpose is to "overthrow"! For the flesh is the flesh - and there is no righteousness or love in it.

+ The days of My people "bending" My Word to fit their own "philosophy(s)" and "religious" practices are over.

+ The only reason that one of My children gets "offended" in the first place at any "wrong" done to them is because their first and foremost desire was acceptance and approval by "flesh and blood" - rather than abiding in perfect love [obedience].

+ The "more" sin is - the "more" damaging My presence [Third Day anointing] shall be to that sinfulness!

+ The only "ability" that "self" (the flesh) has is to sin!"....

+ The amount of My Word that My children take (assimilate) into their spirit-man is the degree of My glory (presence) that can be manifested through them in this final hour.

*****

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father’s Heart]

[DECEMBER 14th 2006]

+ There is "always" a way out of any "temptation" the Devil brings against My children - in his attempt to bring them to the place wherein they shall succumb to his pressure to trust in their own understanding ["fed" by the lies of the Evil One], and thus to "mistrust" Me! Truly I say to you, there is no "pressure" that Satan can exert upon My children that, in reality, "necessitates" compromising My Word in order to act in the flesh. It is a "deception" of the Evil One! In any given moment - regardless of circumstance - that one under pressure need only incline their "heart" towards Me, and I shall surely deliver them from any and every tactic [scheme] of Satan and his forces against them.

+ It is a "spirit of apostasy" that sets itself against all those of My children who begin to seek understanding from Me with a view to walking in an absolute faith. This "spirit" will always move immediately in the circumstances [surroundings] of the one seeking to walk in a "perfect" faith - in order to exert the "necessary" amount of pressure needed in order to draw that one back into "mental ascension" - and trust in "sense knowledge" rather than revelation knowledge.

+ Fellowship with the world [James 4:4] results in "occupation" and "domination" by the world and its ways [fear, rebellion, pride and selfishness].

+ One cannot walk [abide] in the anointing that abides within them and be "presumptuous" at the same time.

+ "Faithfulness" [loyalty] is always the perfect by-product of a heart that is both consumed by, and saturated with, My Word [Will].

*****

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father’s Heart]

[DECEMBER 15th 2006]

+ I have called My holy apostles and prophets to break through any "barriers" [of fear and unbelief] that My people have concerning My "Divine Requirement" [Luke 10:27].

+ The maintenance of a "sin-consciousness" - to any degree - shall cause the (a) "cycle of failure" to be repeated. In the same way, the diligent and continual maintenance of a "righteousness-consciousness" [2 Corinthians 5:17.21] shall cause the "Kingdom cycle" of faith, love and obedience to continually manifest in that one's life and ministry.

+ Any ground of fear [pride] maintained in the life of one of My children shall always manifest itself to a certain degree in resentment, bitterness and hatred [unforgiveness].

+ Fear [pride] does not release the anointing abiding within! It is faith - working through an abiding love - that causes the anointing to flow freely.

+ If one continually speaks in fear then they shall surely be found moving (acting) in fear and unbelief. In the same way, if one continually speaks words of faith then they shall surely be found moving (acting) in a way that "corresponds" with the "revelation" that I have placed in their heart.

+ As My children continually keep their "spirit-man" in dominance over their soul and body the "eyes" of their faith shall become clearer and clearer until such a time as the "revelation" that I blessed them with becomes more real to them than ANY circumstance (s) surrounding them. And thus, from that point on, they shall be able [through faith and patience] to continually carry out the necessary "corresponding action" to bring that revelation (manifestation of My will) to pass - perfectly.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father’s Heart]

[DECEMBER 16th 2006]

+ When one of My children comes into the position wherein everything in their life and ministry is beyond "their" control" then it is certain that they shall never fear being controlled by others.

+ If any one of My children are "meddling" in another's "business" then it is certain that their own "business" is not in order.

+ For one to express "agreement" on any given matter there must be words spoken - and thus one should never view one's "silence" as agreement or disagreement.

+ It is a "deception" of the Evil One for one to take a thought at any time that doubts - in any way - My desire to meet any one of My children's needs - spirit, soul, body or financially.

+ Life [Love] is more than a "feeling" but death and darkness are not!

+ The number one enemy of faith and love and revelation is "sense-knowledge" [psuche-soul life].

*****

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father’s Heart]

[DECEMBER 17th 2006]

+ If My children "allow" fear to control their lives in any way then they "block" Me from blessing them in that time with the "revelation" that they need.

+ To avoid perfect obedience is to avoid the "necessary confrontation" of any ground of fear,  and to avoid the necessary confrontation of any ground of fear is to avoid perfect obedience. This "cycle of fear" shall always prevent one from entering into the fulness of their inheritance in Christ - until such a time as a thorough repentance is forthcoming and, thus, they act in obedience in the area that they had previously avoided. Always remember: perfect love [obedience] casts out fear [I John 4:18].

+ The first and foremost prerequisite to a "perfect intercession" is for the one called to intercession to themselves be found abiding in that place of a perfect obedience.

+ For one to "succumb" to "peer pressure" is for one to be held captive by a "spirit of idolatry".

+ Such will be the anointing on My holy apostles and prophets in this last hour that all those who cross their path - and whose heart is "wholly given" to Me - shall know that the words I speak through them are absolute truth spoken in a perfect love.

*****

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father’s Heart]

[DECEMBER 18th 2006]

+ Always remember, My beloved ones, you are dealing with the "hearts" of all those who cross your path. Not just the words they speak and the actions they take, but the "motivations" behind them. These motivations are "unsearchable" and "hidden" to the five physical senses - but truly I say to you, I shall reveal them to you by My Spirit [the Spirit of wisdom and revelation].

+ Fear "blocks" discernment.

+ Abiding sin produces much "frustration".

+ Any time that one puts a person, thing [possession] or money before - and above - a revelation of My will (Word) then they are being held captive by a "spirit of idolatry".

+ "Time" is never an issue unless one "allows" themselves to be held captive by a "spirit of unbelief".

JESUS:

+ It is My will to walk in the midst of My people.

*****

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father’s Heart]

[DECEMBER 19th 2006]

+ Preconceived notions [mental ascension to my Will] are "fodder" for the Devil.

+ Fellowshipping with Me daily in My Kingdom shall result in a perfect obedience and a constant worshipping of Me "in spirit and in truth". Fellowshipping with the "world" results in disobedience and a "worshipping" unconsciously of Satan and his evil ways.

+ All those who have allowed themselves to be held captive by a spirit of self-exaltation are deceived! For they "unconsciously" hold to the belief that in their own "self-exaltive" practices I shall be glorified and exalted but that is "never" the case! Truly I say to you, that which proceeds from the flesh is flesh, and seeks only to exalt "self" in its endless pursuit of "self-glory" and "self-exaltation" and its end is increasing darkness and distance from My true plan for their lives. Because of this their eyes cannot see and their hearts will not hear the "revelation knowledge" pertaining to My true Church and My true plan in this last hour. And unless a thorough repentance is forthcoming they shall surely be found fighting against My obedient ones in this last hour.

+ Plan B [self-desire] always seems easier and more convenient than "Plan A" [My Will].

+ One who is "conceited" [haughty-arrogant] understands nothing.

*****

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father’s Heart]

[DECEMBER 20th 2006]

+ Selfishness and deception are "inseparable".

+ Every time that one leans upon their own understanding they are "unconsciously" saying by their words and actions that, There is no God.

+ There is no righteousness apart from the Anointed One and His Anointing.

+ If one does not first desire "My best" in their life and ministry then they shall surely not exercise the necessary faith to receive all that I have for them in Christ.

+ My children must do "all things" - spirit, soul, body and financially - by "revelation" (faith).

+ My children will never "lose" anything as they continually abide in My love at all cost to themselves - regardless of what it may "look like" initially.

*****

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father’s Heart]

[DECEMBER 21st 2006]

+ In this last hour My children shall not be able to discern perfectly all that crosses their path, nor will their ministering be accurate, unless they first spend the "required" time with Me in perfect fellowship [the inner chamber].

+ No one "forces" anyone to worry! If one "chooses" to worry then they do it entirely of their own volition.

+ Many of My children treat "worry" as if there was something worth worrying about.

+ The same "spirit" that built the "golden calf" is working in the lives of all those who seek "any" acceptance or approval from "any" person or thing - above Me.

+ It is very easy for one to get into "unbelief" in an unbelieving world if they do not constantly guard their heart with all diligence.

+ Every time that one of My children launches out into "Plan B" [leans upon their own understanding] it "initiates" a flurry of fleshly activity [self-effort] in order to perpetuate the aforementioned "Plan B". Whereas, when one of My children continually acknowledges Me in all their ways and I am, therefore, able to reveal My plan [Plan A] to them in any given situation, it produces peace and rest - and a "clarity" deep within them that guides them step by step - in perfect obedience.

*****

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father’s Heart]

[DECEMBER 22nd 2006]

+ To the degree that one of My children hardens their heart towards My Word concerning "finances" it is to that degree that they shall become "self-absorbed" [fall prey to self-indulgence].

+ If one of My children should sin against another one of My children then the one that has been sinned against should, first of all, take no offense. For, in reality, the "sin" was not against them - regardless of what it may "look like" - it is against Me. Therefore, the one who experiences the "consequences" of another's sin should immediately set themselves to "intercession" on the other's behalf - in order that I might release the necessary love and wisdom and revelation to set them free from any "ground" of fear (selfishness - independence) that "motivated" their sinful action.

+ If one is truly trusting Me with "all" of their heart then what one does - or does not do - concerning them shall have no effect on their ministry.

+ My children are either going to be contributing to the "watering" of My Word or the "drought" which is a result of their failure to exercise an absolute faith upon the seeds sown.

+ Until one puts themselves in a position to receive a revelation concerning the necessity of being "faithful in the little things" [Luke 16:10] then they are, quite simply, just "playing" at walking in the "fulness" of  My divine prosperity.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father’s Heart]

[DECEMBER 23rd 2006]

 + Unless one "allows" the light of My Word to enter in to the depths of their being then they shall never come to know fully the "no greater selfishness" [fear] of the "flesh" nor the "no greater love" of the Christ - the Anointed One and His Anointing.

+ It is the root of "self-desire" that "fuels" mental ascension to My will [Word].

+ Only that which is of Me is truly "supernatural". All that which is of Satan, that is, all of his dealings with mankind, is  bound to this "natural realm" - even though at times certain manifestations may appear to the "untrained" eye to be "above" the mainstream of soulish activity".

+ Many believe that they truly desire to "hear" Me but if they "maintain" sin of any kind then the sinful action that ensues shall cause them to "hear" only that which does not affect or hinder the "self-desire" [fear] they are maintaining. Only a "full and thorough" repentance before Me [in My presence-the inner chamber] shall "unstop" their spiritual "ears" and open their spiritual eyes.

+ Mere talk is "cheap" - and involves no "cost" to one's self - but faithful, corresponding action to a "revelation" of My Word [Will] always involves a "certain" cost [self-denial].

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father’s Heart]

[DECEMBER 24th 2006]

+ One is either going to use the time they spend separated from others to "fuel" self-desire or godly desire.

+ Those of My children who "cling" to unforgiveness are, in reality, allowing themselves to be used as "vessels of hatred".

+ "Holy endurance" is in no way sustained by "soulish motivation".

+ To the degree that one trusts Me it is to that degree that they shall gain a continually deeper revelation of the foolishness of "mistrust".

+ Fear is a catalyst to the law of sin and death the way faith is a catalyst to the "law(s) of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus"!

+ There are no "set methods" in ministering to any given person - in any given moment. It is only the Holy Spirit that "sees" all things and "knows" all things; and it is only He who can both guide and empower one to abide in perfect ministry [love].

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father’s Heart]

[DECEMBER 25th 2006]

+ Acknowledging Me in all one's ways is a simple instruction. To carry it out is a full-time task.

+ If My children will acknowledge Me in all their ways then I shall surely guide them into My "absolute best" in any given situation - or aspect of life and ministry.

+ One exercises an "absolute faith" [perfect love] by obeying Me absolutely.

+ Obedience is the prerequisite to "all" divine increase.

+ The number one enemy to the "faith-walk" is for one to "allow" themselves to be "moved" by what they "feel" or do not "feel".

+ Apart from the "anointing of love" [the Holy Spirit] parents are simply preparing their children for "failure".

+ Only believe - only receive.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father’s Heart]

[DECEMBER 26th 2006]

+ To the degree that My children "affix" themselves to a "preconceived notion" it is to that degree that they hinder Me from manifesting My best in their lives.

+ Many of My children exercise fear in the name of Love and deem it as an acceptable thing amongst themselves! Truly I say to you, unless My children are seeking to abide in a perfect love then the "ground of fear" within them cannot be "expelled" (cast out) for it is only perfect love that can cast out all fear.

+ If one follows after the lusts of the flesh - through a "spirit of self-indulgence" - then they are surely "feeding their fear" [unbelief]! If one diligently practices a life of "self-denial" by abiding in My Word then their faith [love] shall be "fed" continually.

+ If the "catching away" of the Church is one's true priority then they shall surely "purify" themselves and their eyes shall remain affixed upon the "things above". Whereas, if one's eyes are fixed on the ends of the earth then it is certain that they shall "maintain" a certain fellowship with the world and thus they will "abide" in a form of "impurity" - and the darkness and unbelief that is its spontaneous by-product.

JESUS:

+ If one "fellowships" with the world then they are going to think as the world thinks and act as the world acts! If one "fellowships" with Me in My Kingdom then they shall think as I think and act as I act.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father’s Heart]

[DECEMBER 27th 2006]

+ You are anointed to perfection - to be righteously motivated in all things [Matthew 5:48].

+ If My children do not put themselves in a position "continually" to have their minds renewed by My Word and My Spirit then they shall surely be dominated to a degree by "self-desire".

+ The only thing that the "flesh" profits is Satan and his schemes [John 6:63].

+ The moment that one stops exercising faith [obedience] concerning the "law of increase" working in their life, and begins to operate in fear then - in that moment - the "law of decrease" shall begin to "supercede" the law of increase and thus Satan shall be "allowed", through the unbelief and mistrust of that one, to both hinder and steal from them.

+ Never "focus" on someone else's obedience or disobedience before your own.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father’s Heart]

[DECEMBER 28th 2006]

+ If one "pleads" [confesses] poverty" [spiritual and otherwise] then poverty shall have control over their life and "ministry".

"poverty" - the condition or quality of being poor; scantiness of supply; absence or scarcity of necessary qualities     
                      [through unbelief and lack of revelation knowledge];

+ If the "love" of money is maintained in one's life then it shall surely "supercede" the loving of one another.

+ There is no "excuse" for any of My children to be walking around devoid of the "true" understanding in any given situation - for "love" understands all things. It is only the failure on one's part to abide in love [constituting disobedience and faithlessness] that causes one to lean upon the darkened understanding of the "flesh". Obedience begets obedience and "allows" the My love to be shed abroad in one's heart to a continually greater degree. Disobedience begets disobedience and "allows" Satan to dominate one's thought-life, and thus he is able to deceive that disobedient one into believing that they are "inspired" by Me while, in reality, they are being "motivated" by fear and rebellion.

+ The one who abides in revelation knowledge "spares" their words according to the anointing [unction] abiding within them [1 John 2:27].

+ In any given moment My children are either practicing self-denial [the exaltation of Christ - the Anointed One and His Anointing] or self-exaltation [the denial of Christ - the Anointed One and His Anointing].

+ Entering into "covenant" with anything or anyone apart from Me [My will] - is rebellion.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father’s Heart]

[DECEMBER 29th 2006]

+ The "spirit of false prophecy" - when "acted upon" - is rooted in the ground of the flesh that fears what others think of them, and thus it seeks their "approval" by saying those things [unconsciously - but nonetheless soulishly] that they "believe" those they are speaking to desire to hear, and which would be a blessing to them. Satan's strategy in this is simple: it is, through deception, to move the "hearer" of the "prophecy" to a place outside of and apart from My will. "All" true prophecy is rooted and grounded in love with no element of self-desire or motivation on the part of the one giving the prophecy, and "always" leads the hearer - if they will hearken to the words spoken - into a fuller and deeper manifestation of My will for their life and ministry. Truly I say to you, as I send forth the "final wave" of My holy apostles and prophets I shall thoroughly "devastate" the schemes of the Evil One in the "midst" of My people and I shall restore "perfect order" in this area of the "gifts of the Spirit".

+ Anyone who seeks Me with "impure" motive - that is, a self-serving plan for any aspect of their life or ministry is "wide open" to deception at the hands of the Evil One and his forces.

+ The "ground" from which "every" religious spirit works is the "desire" to exalt oneself.

+ Those who have "allowed" themselves to be held captive by a "spirit of self-exaltation" are always "justified" in their own mind - regardless of what they have said or done. There are no "holy tears" on the behalf of those they "minister" their words of death and darkness to - and yet, many still "revere" these rebellious ones in the midst of the congregations. But truly I say to you, as I send forth My holy apostles and prophets I shall expose "all" that which is apart from Me in the midst of My people, and the root and source of "all" things shall be made clear. For indeed, every word and action spoken is ultimately rooted in one of two spirits: the Spirit of love or the spirit of fear [pride].

+ The "spirit man" remaining in ascendency over the soul and body is simply the result of a consistent diligence in accordance with the deepest thoughts and intentions of My heart [Proverbs 4:23].

JESUS:

+ I am not coming for a "distracted" [double-minded - wordly] church.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father’s Heart]

[DECEMBER 30th 2006]

+ Some things are more imminent than others but - because of the "lateness" of the hour - let it be known that "all things" pertaining to My Glorious Church are imminent.

+ Many of My children are not quite as "open" to the "absoluteness" of My Truth as they think they are.

+ If one does not learn to "give" freely then they shall have difficulty in learning how to "receive" freely.

+ If My children are truly experiencing the "inner consolation" [divine assurance] that I have provided for them in the Holy Spirit then they shall have no "desire" to seek the "outer consolation" (soulish gratification) that the "flesh" craves.

+ A "spirit of provocation" is rooted and grounded in fear and self-exaltation.

+ Whatever is not from faith is fear.

*****

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father’s Heart]

[DECEMBER 31st 2006]

+ The fear of what others think precludes "true" ministry.

+ If one is not walking by revelation then they are not walking by faith. If one is not walking by faith then they are not walking by revelation.

+ In any given moment one is either going to be found fleeing youthful lusts and pursuing righteousness or fleeing righteousness and pursuing youthful lusts.

+ True love is "real".

+ There is no true fulfilment in sin.

+ It shall take a perfect self-denial to "cut through" any remaining strongholds.
