EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[January 1st 2007]

+       Those who have held fast to My will - at all cost to themselves - in this final hour have shown great "courage", and displayed a powerful sense of "justice" [desire for righteousness], and in this I am well-pleased! Hold fast, My beloved ones! For truly I say to you, you shall do many great exploits in the time remaining between now and the "catching away" of My Church.

"exploit" - a deed or act - especially one marked by heroism or daring;

+       You "must" be a people who allow My Spirit to leave "no stone unturned" in your life and ministry.

+       A "servant" has no rights with regards to "service". Today, in this Third Day, I call you sons and daughters of the Most High - for your desires are My desires and My desires are your desires, and I have judged you to be righteously motivated in all things. Therefore, I have entrusted you with the fullness of My authority and, as I send you forth, you shall surely cut a swath through the darkness wherever I send you - from this day forth!

+       Up until this time, My beloved ones, I have had to keep those who are not "acclimatized" to My presence, apart from you. For the sin which they have retained in their lives would have caused them to demonstrate a "rampant emotionalism" and, in their blatant rebelliousness and clear blasphemy of the glory, they would serve only to dig themselves a deeper pit than the one which they are already ensnared in. But truly I say to you, now is the time for Me to confront [judge] all those who I have called to a place of "delegated authority", and I shall indeed expose the deepest thoughts and intentions of their heart towards Me - whether righteous or unrighteous. So stay ready - both individually and corporately! Be found guarding your heart with all diligence, that you might be pure vessels of My presence, and thus shall the establishment of My "true" local Church begin throughout the earth. Do not be swayed or moved by "any" preconceived notions or thoughts concerning My will, for as you continually minister unto Me in the "inner chamber" I shall make clear the deepest thoughts and intentions of My heart - day in and day out.

JESUS:

+       I watched many die [unnecessarily-tragically] as I walked the earth - even though the power to heal and deliver was present. So shall it be in this Third Day, but truly I say to you, whosoever shall call on My Name from the deepest recesses of their heart shall SURELY experience the "fullness" of My salvation [soteria-deliverance from temporal evil], and they shall be found walking with Me in My Kingdom [Acts 2:17-21].

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[January 2nd 2007]

+       To many of My children it is easier to "let their mind go" rather than to bring every thought captive to a perfect obedience [revelation of My Will].

+       Because many of My children "maintain" a degree of "self-desire" they are therefore unable to discern My Word rightly in certain areas.

+       To tolerate self-pity is to "minister" death.

+       One cannot stand in "faith" for anyone or anything unless it is My will - and also, that they have a "revelation" of My will (Word) to affix their faith to! Many of My children exercise a "faith" that is not rooted and grounded in love [a revelation of My will] but rather it is rooted and grounded in their own "self-desire". As it is written, "The way of the righteous is level [smooth] and "the way of the transgressor is hard" - and so, as one exercises a "counterfeit faith" upon the object or objects of their "self-desire", they blame Satan and his forces for the "seeming" turmoil and "obstacles" which spring up before them. They do not realize that, in reality, I am seeking to get them to turn their attention from that self-desire to a "pure" [godly] desire to carry out "My" will - and from that position receive the "necessary revelation" in order that they might affix their faith [love] to it. It is certain that "mental ascension" to "any" aspect of My will for one's life shall cause great turmoil and confusion in their lives and ministries, and there shall be a definite lack of the peace that passes all understanding. Tell My children to hold out for My very "best" in "every" aspect of their lives and ministries. For this is the time of the advent of My Glorious Church - a Church that shall do nothing and say nothing apart from a revelation of My will (Word).

+       One's greatest "resource" is always the Anointing abiding within them.

                         *****

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[January 3rd 2007]

+       If one of My children "maintains" self-desire then they shall "unconsciously" - and continually - put themselves in such a position as to maintain that "self-desire". And, it is certain that in that "position" they shall not be able to hear My voice - particularly pertaining to the object or objects of self-desire that they are "actively" maintaining. In essence, the very fact that they maintain a "desire" for anything less than My "best" for their lives and ministries precludes them from receiving the "necessary" revelation which they need in order to fulfil "all" that I created them to fulfil. Truly I say to you, if - because of self-desire - one makes the decision to settle for less than My "best" then it is certain that they shall have to "avoid" those who are pure vessels of My light. For the "absolute" light and life that abides within My holy apostles and prophets shall "surely" disclose every element of self-desire that crosses their path in this final hour.

+       If one of My children is found speaking under the influence of a "spirit of self-justification" then it is "certain" that they do not have the "necessary" revelation of My will in that instance.

+       The Truth is a mortal enemy to "self-desire".

+       If any one of My children "hold onto" [maintain] any degree of unforgiveness in their heart then they shall surely leave themselves wide open to "any" evil spirit that Satan chooses to use against them to build "vast strongholds" in their life and ministry. Always remember: "All" unforgiveness has its root in rebelliousness and self-exaltation.

+       Always speak what My people "need" to hear - not what they "think" they need to hear.

+       One can truly make a difference every moment of every day - regardless of how "obscure" their opportunities might seem - if they will just simply devote themselves "wholly" to walk in love.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[January 4th 2007]

+       My beloved one, if you desired to "stay here" [keep your eyes "fixed" on the ends of the world], would you not be serving the forces of Anti-Christ?

+       It is certain, My beloved one, that you shall not "lose" one of those whom I have given to you for the purpose of interceding for them. For as long as one remains "in Christ", the same promise holds true for "all" those who are placed in positions of delegated authority; those who are called to bring My people into the unity of faith and into the full and exact knowledge of the truth.

+       I have some "special" things in store for those of My children who "allow" themselves to be vessels of Satan's deception; those who would feign obedience to Me while seeking their own selfish interests - and in their attempts to trick you and deceive you into error and sin, they shall meet their end. For I shall no longer tolerate the blatant abuse of My bondservants and handmaidens - My faithful and obedient ones, who bring joy and blessing to My heart. Truly I say to you, I shall expose the heart of every man in this final hour, and their deepest thoughts and intentions [righteous or unrighteous] shall surely be exposed for all to see. There shall be great reward for those who are found abiding in righteousness and a great "awakening" for those clinging to unrighteousness.

+       Those who truly love Me will know whereof the "source" of all that I  give you to both write and speak  in this hour, and those who do not "truly" love Me will look upon this time as an "open opportunity" to deny your ministry. Fear not! For both those who are for you and those who are against you shall immediately reap what they have sown to. To those who believe and thus understand - a deep and glorious revelation of My true Church and their part in it, and to those rebellious ones whose every move is to suit their own purposes and plans - even to the denying of My will (Word) - their "folly" shall become evident before all, and it is they themselves who shall lose the "credibility" which they so earnestly pursue in the power of the "mind of the flesh".

+       There is a "rejection" [persecution] which is good; not good for the one who rejects, but rather for the one who is rejected [persecuted].

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[January 5th 2007]

+       If I am truly in control of one's life then they shall never be overcome by fear and anxiety.

+       Any time that one puts the concern for their own well-being before My Word then they shall surely fail to discern My provision [best] for them.

+       All "insecurity" [feelings of inferiority] in the midst of My children is the direct result of a lack of revelation concerning the fulness of their inheritance in Christ - an inheritance that includes the continual manifestation and revelation of My love for them if they will only open their heart to receive.

+       Concerning money:  one is either operating in "My" wisdom or the wisdom of the "world" - in any given moment.

+       Love heals.

+       One who is "carnally-minded" will always discern the exercising of an absolute faith [God-assuredness] as "ego" [pride]. One who abides in love shall always know the difference.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[January 6th 2007]

+       One inherent tendency of the "flesh" is to make excuses [justify oneself].

+       One cannot operate from a position of unbelief and "elevate" My people.

+       "Self"-assurance has no relevance in the Kingdom of Heaven!

+       One cannot "deceive" a Spirit-led man or woman [1 Corinthians 2:12-16].

+       "Any" effort - apart from a perfect obedience - on the behalf of My children is "self-serving".

+       If one does not have a pure desire to "know the absolute truth - in any given situation - then, quite simply put, they will "think" what the Devil wants them to think.

                         *****

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[January 7th 2007]

+       My children "must" put away from them the "leaven" of mistrust.

+       To measure My Word "fully" - and to act on it immediately once one has the necessary revelation - is a "true exercise" in believing.

+       My children must make the "transition" from putting their faith in "past experience" to putting their faith solely upon the revelation of My Word - in any given moment.

+       One aspect of My "judgement" upon those of My children who have ignored My Word which I have sent to them through My "messengers" - the holy apostles and prophets - is for Me to "permit" [allow] circumstances to arise in their life that can only be countered by the very revelation which they "rejected" in their foolishness. Truly I say to you, that in their time of repentance the very "word" that I had previously sent shall be there "waiting" for them, and as they hearken to it - and "believe it" - their complete deliverance from "any" and "every" evil circumstance shall "immediately" begin to come forth.

+       Abiding in the "Spirit of the Cross" and preaching My "absolute truth" [in the "fulness" of conviction] - are "inseparable".

+       Preaching My Word [absolute Truth] in the "fulness" of conviction is the key to the full manifestation of My "glorious" Church in the earth.

                         *****

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[January 8th 2007]

+       There is a clear difference between "self-exaltation" and one having a "revelation" of who they are in Christ [a "righteousness-consciousness"].

+       If any of My children are "controlled" by anything other than My Spirit then they are either in the "wrong position" - or somewhere along the line they have "radically departed" from the "faith-walk.

+       "All" deception gives the "illusion" in the mind of the one being held captive that what they are doing is "right". It may be "right" for Satan and his schemes, and it may be "right" for the pursuit of selfish goals, but this "counterfeit righteousness" [fleshly activity] has nothing whatsoever to do with My true Church and My Kingdom.

+       "Unwholesome" words are "harmful" regardless of where, when and who they are spoken against [Ephesians 4:29] - including oneself.

+       Before one can be "used" by a "spirit of condemnation" or a "spirit of accusation" they "must" have a "selfish" motive [hidden agenda] - a motive which seeks only to exalt one's "self" in the pursuit of self-glory.

+       If one "beholds" perfection long enough then, truly I say to you, they shall have no use for "imperfection" [Matthew 5:48].

                         *****

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[January 9th 2007]

+       To the degree that one "allows" self-desire prominence in their life - in any given situation - it is to that degree that their heart will be hardened and their "eyes" will be blinded to a revelation of My will for them.

+       Revelation always counteracts "wishful thinking".

+       If one "mistrusts" Me in one area then that doubt and unbelief, if not repented of, shall "seep" into other areas of that one's walk - even "areas" wherein they had previously been walking in revelation knowledge.

+       All "true" ministry is the direct product of one setting themselves before Me constantly.

+       Perfect obedience is never based upon how much "money" one has in their pocket! Perfect obedience is the continual outworking of a heart that abides in love.

+       Mighty things come from small beginnings.

                         *****

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[January 10th 2007]

+       All true ministry is rooted and grounded in perfect love. There is no "unforgiveness" in perfect love.

+       If one is not diligently "battling" the ground of unforgiveness within them then by their "passivity" [fear-pride] they shall surely come to the place wherein they are "unconsciously" maintaining it.

+       Anyone who truly loves Me [seeks to obey Me with all of their heart] shall both clearly discern and "despise" any and every manifestation of a "religious spirit" that crosses their path.

+       The first principle of divine prosperity is: "Seek first the Kingdom of God and My right [eous] way of doing all things [to be righteously motivated in all things].

+       If one chooses to reject My love [wisdom] in any given situation then they shall surely choose to reject you - and the anointing abiding within you - in that situation.

+       To "know" [have a revelation and unction of] what to do and not do it is sin.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[January 11th 2007]

+       "Self-justification" stops the flow of My anointing.

+       One who is more concerned with what people think unconsciously place themselves in a position wherein they continually mistake [fail to discern] the difference between the conviction of My Spirit and a spirit of condemnation or accusation. And thus, because they have lost the power of understanding they discern any anointed word spoken into their "sinful state" as the product of a critical or self-exaltive spirit and thus they ignore both My words and the "messenger" I have sent to them. They have "allowed" themselves to become so bound by a "spirit of self-justification" that - in their "own" thinking - they must always set themselves apart from anyone or anything that does not conform perfectly to the "goals" and "motivations" of their own self-desire and thus they surround themselves with those they are "comfortable" with and thus they "allow" Satan - little by little - to harden their hearts to a continually greater against Me. It is in this way that he is "enabled" - unless a deep and thorough repentance is forthcoming - to "destroy" My people.

+       I have both called and prepared My holy apostles and prophets to be "revelators" of My perfect will - in any given situation that I so choose - and I have also called and prepared My holy apostles and prophets to reveal the deepest thoughts and intentions of My heart [absolute Truth] to all those who have ears to "hear"! Every word they speak to My people is "calculated" by Me to accomplish this one thing: that My people might come into the fulness of their inheritance in Christ in order that they might "fulfil" gloriously the "ministry" [destiny] that I "created" them for.

+       This is no time for My children to "mince" words!

"mince" - moderate the force or strength of;  Latin - "minuere": to lessen, make smaller;

+       How can a word or action be righteous - regardless of how "good" it seems - if the motivation behind it is unrighteous?

+       My "judgement" is My Word and My Word is My judgement. The first and foremost purpose of My "judgement" [Word] is to heal [reconcile].

                         *****

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[January 12th 2007]

+       To the degree that one of My children "maintain" a "soulish" relationship with flesh and blood it is to that same degree that they maintain a soulish relationship with Me - the direct by-product of this being a continual "mental ascent" to My Word [Will].

+       If My children retain "any" [heart] fellowship with the world then it is certain that they will become "tolerant" of unbelief - both in their own life and in the lives of those who cross their path.

+       It is a much tougher thing to deal with the consequences of sin than it is to deal with the "consequences" of perfect obedience.

+       One question that every one of My children must ask themselves is this: "Do I only hear the voice of the Holy Spirit up to the point that it begins to affect the "plans" and "provisions" of My own self-desire?

+       As long as My children "maintain" any manifestation of the "mind-set" which embraces a "cheap grace" then they shall surely be found denying the precious Blood of Jesus to some degree! If My children truly have a revelation of the "price" that was paid at Calvary in order to provide them with their glorious inheritance in Christ then they would not dare to "undermine" it in any way. In essence, the purveyors of "cheap grace" say, in their heart, "we are "lowly sinners" and therefore we "must" sin! But it does not matter because our God will forgive us!" Truly I say to you, this is simply a convenient excuse for one to continually lean upon their own understanding and maintain control of their "own" life. One who has a revelation of My grace states in their heart, "By the precious Blood of Jesus we have been delivered from a "sin-consciousness" - and from the consciousness of any need to sin - and we have been bought with a great price in order that we might no longer live for ourselves but for Him Who died and rose again on our behalf [perfect obedience]!

+       "Cheap grace" is a self-serving doctrine.

+       "Freedom" CAME with a price - and freedom COMES with a price [self-denial]!

[January 13th 2007]

+       One abides in a "deep and thorough repentance" as they abide in a perfect obedience.

+       One never worries about "falling asleep" when they are already asleep! One only concerns themselves with "falling asleep" when a soberness and vigilance and alertness is "needed" [Proverbs 4:23].

+       Do not look at "any" of My blessings as a "hindrance" to walking in the fulness of ministry. But rather, as the "necessary" provision for it.

+       Many of My children are at an "impasse". On the one hand they know that the position they are in now is not of Me and yet they "see" no way out.

+       In this last hour Satan's schemes against My bondservants and handmaidens must be very "subtle" in nature. Therefore, it is of the utmost importance that My children abide in My Word. For it is only in this place that they shall be able to walk "above" all the schemes of the Evil One - continually.

+       "Presumption" is the "spawn" of mistrust and rebelliousness.

                         *****

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[January 14th 2007]

+       Abiding in "self-desire" constitutes "wickedness" in My sight.

+       My children forgive the sins of "any" by speaking words of love at all times. My people "retain" the sins of any by speaking "unwholesome" words - words that are rooted and grounded in unforgiveness, and which seek only to, in some way, exact "retribution"! Wholesome words of love "always" heal the situation. Unwholesome words serve only to "multiply" the negative effects of the transgression, and thus they "widen the chasm" initially forged by the Evil One.

+       The "deceitfulness" of sin causes all those of My children who have "allowed" themselves to be entangled in it to "ignore" certain "instructions" that I have given to them by My Spirit - as if I had never spoken them in the first place. When they first receive these instructions they are quick to say, "yes" and "amen" but their failure to "act" quickly upon them "allows" a spirit of procrastination to move them to a place wherein they become "unconscious" of their failure to obey, and thus they enter into a "wilderness cycle" until such a time as they come to the realization that all is not right.   
As they "cry out" to Me then "every" time - without fail - I shall take them back to the very "instruction" they "ignored" [in some cases many years have passed], and if they are truly willing to do "all" of My will then I shall surely bring to their remembrance, by My Spirit, the clear and concise instruction that had been given previously. And, if, they are truly repentant they shall act quickly to carry it out - and thus they shall "move on" from the "plateau" [spiritual and soulish] that they were "bound" to.

+       The "deepest" heart-motive of one who is "holding part back" to some degree is "always" the fear that they will lose the "ability" to "control" their path.

+       My people must "maintain" a "spirit of readiness" in this most critical hour.

+       If you trust Me you "will" obey Me.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[January 15th 2007]

+       As My children are obedient in the times of "fasting" that I call them to then they shall surely have the "continued" assurance deep within that their spirit-man is in dominion over their soul and body.

+       Perfect obedience brings forth the "necessary" confrontation while sin always brings forth an "unnecessary" confrontation.

+       Many are "obtaining" both "things" and "status" apart from faith in My Word and obedience to My will, and thus all that they say and do has its root in a "spirit of vaingloriousness" - and it is certain that from this spirit one can only "minister" death and darkness.

+       One reaches their full potential in Christ through abiding in a perfect obedience.

+       I have raised up My holy apostles and prophets for a specific task in a specific time - for a specific people.

+       Up until now many of My children have chosen the "leadership" that they desire - without any regard for the "position" that I would have them in. But truly I say to you, this is about to change!

                         *****

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[January 16th 2007]

+       My children must never make a decision based upon anything that is apart from a "revelation" of My Word [Will-Wisdom].

+       If one's spirit-man is not "kept" in a place of dominance [through a continual diligence to guard ones heart] over the soul and the body then that one shall be found placing a greater importance on the "assimilation" of physical food [self-indulgence] over the assimilation of spiritual food [My Word].

+       To the born-again, Spirit-filled believer "second best" is simply not good enough! For if one settles for less than My best - spirit, soul, body, financially, relationship-wise or location/environment-wise [physical locationing] then the "leaven" of self-desire and mistrust shall surely allow Satan to have "control" of their life and ministry, and this "control" [bondage] shall prevent them from gaining the clear and abiding revelation they need of My plan for their part in the establishment of My Glorious Church in this last hour.

+       False authority is any authority with an "improper" [unrighteous] motive.

+       My "best" [highest Will and Purpose] is always THE best!

+       Darkness is a manifestation of the curse! There is no need for any one of My children to walk in darkness - for to abide in darkness is to be separated from My light.

+       Let every "expectation" be rooted and grounded in the belief and assurance that I am indeed watching over My Word to perform it [Jeremiah 1:12]! Therefore, one need only apply My Word to every situation and circumstance that arises - according to a revelation given by My Spirit - knowing that through a continued exercising of an absolute faith on their part it shall always come to the "fulness of fruition", and thus reap the harvest that is of the greatest eternal benefit for all who are involved.

                         *****

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[January 17th 2007]

+       One who exercises a "false" authority is one who has allowed themselves in some way to be deceived by the Evil One into "maintaining" a selfish motivation or ambition and this will always manifest itself in words and actions that are contrary to My absolute truth. Thus, they are used by Satan to mislead - if possible - even the "elect". If any one of My children align themselves in any way with these "leaders" then it is certain that they shall fall under a "spirit of deception", and thus, at some point, they themselves shall be found mounting an attack against those who are walking in a position of true authority.

+       As for those I send My holy apostles and prophets to - whether they listen or not - they will "know" that a true authority has been among them.

+       If any of My children "maintain" any type of "security" based upon what their five physical senses can discern [such as material possessions] they shall surely allow themselves to be "lured" by the Evil One to a place wherein My never-failing, all-powerful Word is no longer their "sole" (soul) security! Truly I say to you, in this last hour all shall clearly see that the only "true" security one has is found in the place of "abiding" in My Word.

+       If one in leadership is not found abiding in the fulness of their inheritance in Christ then they shall surely keep those they "lead" from walking in the fulness of their inheritance in Christ.

+       If one places "any" security at all upon their finances then they shall "surely" set their heart upon any "increase" that comes to them.

+       A "fleshly" vision maintained in one's heart always falls far, far short of My highest and greatest purpose - in any given situation.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[January 18th 2007]

+       The chief hinderance to the "building up" of My Glorious Church is the "undealt-with-ground" in many that "compels" them to fear what men think above what I think. It is this same ground of fear that causes a continual "mental ascent" to even the "infrequent" revelation received concerning the establishment of the Church, and thus many abide in a "trust" in their own "ability" to get the job done! Truly I say to you, every last detail concerning the establishment of My true Church must, and shall, be the product of "revelation". And therefore, from this, one can see clearly that the continual and intimate fellowship that I so desire to have with each one of My children is both necessary and compulsory if they are to fulfil "all" that I have created them for. No longer can the "casual attitudes" - born of an "ardent" self-desire [self-agenda] - continue in the midst of the congregations of My people! For truly I say to you, it is time for all those who truly love Me to lay aside "any" and "every" encumbrance - in order that they might set their heart "wholly" upon the task at hand. For it is only in this way that My Church shall be established according to My purpose and according to My plan. Truly I say to you, I shall "raise up" and "prepare" one final wave of My five-fold ministry to lead and guide and prepare all those who truly love Me for the glorious task at hand.

+       Just as an angry thought born out of a "spirit of unforgiveness" can grow into a raging hatred and, just as a simple thought rooted and grounded in a "spirit of self-desire" can become adultery, so shall the "holy thought" [spiritual impulse] - the product of a heart wholly given - become an all-consuming reality in one's life! Such is the "principle of leaven".

+       Those who are walking after the flesh do not regard My holy ones as precious gifts but rather they are continually offended by the fact that their every word and deed [which are the product of My perfect love abiding within them] convicts them - continually speaking to their heart of anything that is apart from Me. Truly I say to you, in this final hour the fire and light which issues forth from My holy ones shall expose every element of  "self-desire" - and the plans thereof - that enters into its presence.

+       If one "wilfully" holds to unforgiveness then they have already made themselves a "stranger" to the covenants of promise [Ephesians 2:12].

+       Come up to Me on the "mountain" and remain [abide] there.

+       When one "allows" themselves to become "self-absorbed" [self-focussed] they immediately lose sight of My Word - and the "needs" of all those around them.

+       In any given moment, and in any given situation, there is only "one way" - the narrow path of perfect obedience.

+       Unless one's eyes are continually fixed upon My Word then it shall not be long before the desire for "revelation knowledge" diminishes, and is replaced by a "thirsting and hungering" after "sense knowledge" [soulish gratification].

+       "Sense knowledge" is gratifying to the soul whereas "revelation knowledge" is the "food" of the spirit [John 4:34].

+       If one is truly and entirely dependent upon My Word then they shall "never" be disappointed - for ALL disappointment has its root and source in a misplaced faith.

+       "Self-indulgence" - to yield to, or gratify, the whims and desires of the "flesh".

+       Fear "triggers" selfishness in all of its different forms and characteristics.

+       The exercising of an absolute [perfect] love leaves no room for "self-desire".

+       One can "never" walk in love based solely upon their "good intentions". For one to truly abide in love they must continually "allow" My Spirit to shed abroad "divine love" within their heart. It is only as one obeys the "command" to guard their heart with all diligence that they shall have the "assurance" that they are indeed walking in love - and thus fulfilling My commandment to "love one another" at all times.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[January 21st 2007]

+       I am going to make "certain" proclamations through My holy apostles and prophets in this season that shall come to pass immediately in the lives of all those who will hear.

+       All rebellion has its origin in a "premeditated" deviation from the path of righteousness.

+       It is only a rebellious heart that fears being "controlled" [by the Holy Spirit].

+       To the degree that one "nurtures" self-desire it is to that degree that their eyes shall be blinded.

+       One cannot "maintain" any element of self-desire and still "hope" to walk in the "fulness" of the ministry that I have called them to! The "fulness of ministry" in any given moment always manifests itself from a heart "wholly given".

+       There is no such thing as one "hurting nobody but themselves" if they "choose" to walk to "any" degree apart from the perfect obedience that I have called them to! Truly I say to you, every act of "selfishness" in any of its forms - self-sufficiency, self-indulgence, etc. - shall produce a "deficit" somewhere in the Body of Christ. Whereas, when one abides in perfect obedience there is a continual "building up" being manifested in the Body and the continued strengthening and empowerment of those I have given to them to intercede for to come into the fulness of maturity in Christ! This is an absolute Kingdom-principle and every one of My children "must" come into a deep revelation of its "reality". For as they do their first and foremost desire shall always be to abide in perfect obedience [love].

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[January 22nd 2007]

+       Now is the time wherein the deepest heart-motivation of each one of My children shall be revealed [exposed].

+       Anything less than an "absolute trust" in Me shall "always" lead to a definite compromising of My Word [Will].

+       One can in no way continually obey the command to "love one another" unless they first continually obey the command to love Me with their "whole" heart".

+       All seeking of an "outer consolation" [soulish gratification] is the direct product of the "maintaining" of a "soul tie" [emotional attachment].

+       One cannot "deny" the Blood of Jesus - through unbelief - and still be found walking in the "fulness" of their inheritance in Christ. And if they are not abiding in the fulness of their inheritance in Christ then it is certain that they will be found walking in a position far below the "fullness" of the ministry that I have called them to.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[January 23rd 2007]

+       If one of My children speak a word of "correction" without first having a "revelation" - and then the "unction" of My Spirit - then the very lack of one or both of these two aspects that "ensure" a perfect obedience [the exercising of a perfect love] would surely provoke a "rampant emotionalism" in the one being "corrected"! Always remember that any word spoken or any action taken apart from a revelation of My Will [Word] and the unction of My Spirit is always rooted and grounded in a self-serving purpose [self-exaltation, self-desire etc.] in the one "ministering" presumptuously.

+       In any given moment one is either being moved and influenced by the Holy Spirit or by an "unholy" spirit.

+       "Knowledge" without the application of wisdom always runs "rampant"!

"rampant" - exceeding all bounds; wild; widespread or unchecked;

+       One who truly desires to love shall obey Me and, in that obedience, they shall always "readily" confront their greatest fear - as I produce the necessary confrontation.

+       Self-desire is a "poison" to the spiritual life of My children.

+       The same Anointing [the Holy Spirit] that empowered Jesus to walk sinless and error-free in ministry is available to all those who continually heed the command to guard their heart - and thus their anointing - with all diligence.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[January 24th 2007]

+       One must continually "exercise" a "holy intolerance" towards sin but they must also "maintain" an abiding "compassion" [a deep, yearning desire to do them good, and set them free with the yoke-destroying, burden-removing power of God] towards the "sinner".

+       In the way of righteousness is life, and in its pathway there is no death - for death cannot "touch" life (Zoe) [Proverbs 12:28].

+       When you pray expect "immediate" results.

+       To the degree that one controls their own life it is to that degree that they "will" attempt to control the others around them".

+       Whatever "[S]spirit" dominates the life of the one ministering shall be imparted to the one being ministered to.

+       Seek first the "manifestation" of My power, My authority and My Kingdom [and thus abide in righteousness] and you shall have no "limitations".

                          *****

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[January 25th 2007]

+       Every one of My children "must" continually put themselves in the position wherein they are cleansed from all defilement of flesh and spirit for it is only in this position that they can be a continual and open vessel of My "best blessing" to all those who cross their path.

+       If one is walking in a perpetual state of being cleansed from "all" defilement of flesh and spirit THEN there is no limit to what I can do through them.

+       My heart is always "touched" by the faithfulness of My people - in even the "smallest details".

+       Just because one has the "finances" to carry out My will it does not necessarily mean that that in itself is enough - an "abiding wisdom" must be applied at all times, in any given moment.

+       Always remember, My beloved ones, that when "Israel" was right with Me they were "unstoppable" before their enemies and continually laid great "devastation" upon them! In that context "Israel" is a clear type and symbol of the "Glorious Church" and truly I say to you, the "devastation" I have planned for Satan and his forces [schemes] between now and the "catching away" of My Church shall be "unparalleled"!

[January 26th 2007]

+       Everything I give My holy apostles and prophets in this final hour shall be expressed in "absolute" terms - for the hour is late and the aforementioned "final judgement" of My "household" has begun.

+       When one is "slow of heart" to obey Me they create a "deficit" in another's life.

+       True love has no "conditions" attached to it.

+       The entire empowerment of the spiritual life is rooted and grounded in obedience [love].

+       My angels know My heart and mind, and will begin to act immediately [in perfect accordance with My highest will and purpose according to the need of the moment in any given situation - with a view to the ultimate fulfillment of that word] as soon as the prophetic proclamation is spoken.

+       Let this be made clear: I "am" going to judge "all" unrighteousness [all that is apart from Christ] in the midst of My people.

+       Self-desire is a deadly thing - spirit, soul, body, and financially.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[January 27th 2007]

+       Having a "spirit of integrity" does not mean that one never makes a mistake in their discerning of My will - and, thus, may travel off course a short ways. It means that "if" there is a wrong discernment and/or action on the part of one having a spirit of integrity they shall immediately and ultimately - at all cost to "self" - rectify the aforementioned "blip". Thus, in My sight, their "absolute" integrity was [is] always before Me - for I do not judge [discern] as man judges. I look upon the heart.

+       When one is walking in "absolute truth" Satan must combat it with an "absolute lie".

+       Tell My people that if one abides near a "perpetual spring" they will never "visit" the parched places" [Psalm 1].

+       Every one of My children must come to the point wherein they realize that sin is "pointless" [futile - non-profitable].

JESUS:

+       Quite simply, those in the "world" have a "long memory" because those in the world are bound by the "spirit of unforgiveness" and therefore, in that system, once one is wronged it is never truly forgotten - as it is only the power of My Blood that can "release" one from the "bondage" of unforgiveness.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[January 28th 2007]

+       You are to remain "behind the scenes" until such a time as I bring you forth; but through prayer and the ministry of the Word you shall play a most important part in the "fruit" that those I have given to you shall bear. Hearken only to the voice of My Spirit and seek to operate in a "pin-point" accuracy in all things.

+       As you go forth to minister My Word, you must do and speak only that which I have "revealed" to you. For there are many of My children who are "good-intentioned", but who through these "good intentions" [intentions which are rooted and grounded in the fear of what others will think of them] are used by the Evil One [unknowlingly] in his attempt to "diminish" the power of My Word which goes forth through a spirit of compromise. You must not, in any way, attempt to meet the "approval" or the "expectations" of flesh and blood [compromise], but rather, you must seek only "My" approval in all things; and, in having the "assurance" that you have a revelation of My will, again, you must, in a spirit of non-compromise [perfect obedience], do "only" that which I have revealed to you. For I have great purpose in even the smallest details and tasks, and through all these things that are about to take place in the days just ahead I shall make you a great "sign and wonder" to My Church!

+       The reason why so many of My children "stumble" into a "false revelation" [mental ascension]of My Will concerning "women in ministry" in the Scriptures is because of the hardness of their own hearts.I shall deal very harshly and openly with those who limit Me in this hour - in their mind-sets of unbelief and self-exaltive practices toward My precious daughters!

+       Many shall accuse you of "accusing", and condemn you for "condemning"! But, in reality, you are abiding in a perfect love before Me. Hold fast - knowing that the suffering for righteousness sake that I have called you to shall surely bear much fruit for the Kingdom, and shall help lead many into the fullness of their precious inheritance in Christ.

+       Through your prayers I can turn the situation "upward".

+       There is no "real" salvation [deliverance] apart from Jesus Christ!

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[January 29th 2007]

+       Truly I say to you, it "is" possible! For "all" things are possible to those who will maintain a "believing heart".

+       The "spiritual impulses" [glimpses given by My Spirit] which rise up out of a heart wholly given shall become "full blown" revelation in this season - as one continually guards their heart with all diligence.

+       There is no "doubt" in the "Kingdom" of Heaven.

+       My "judgement" "always" produces My greatest eternal benefit in the life of the one being judged. Therefore, even though the aforementioned judgement may seem "harsh" to the undiscerning it is, in essence, "always" My perfect love towards them - to set them free from "all" unrighteousness.

+       The root "ground" that allows a "spirit of legalism" to establish a stronghold in ones life and ministry is the fear of man [seeking after the approval of men - self-glory], and their "assignment" is to ensnare their captive in a "web" of perpetual self-exaltation [self-effort and self-agenda].

JESUS:

+       As it was in the days before My entering into the earth "great darkness" shrouds this world but truly I say to you, a great and glorious light [My Glorious Church] shall shine forth in this final hour such as this earth has never seen before.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

[January 30th 2007]

+       If one is not empowered by love then they will not be able to "empower" [bless] anyone else.

+       The "leaven of unforgiveness" is a bitter root which if not forsaken shall poison one's "entire" existence.

+       Without a continually deeper working of the Spirit of the Cross" one shall never come to the place wherein they can be trusted with the "full measure" of the power that abides within them. As one abides in love - day after day after day the "leaven of compassion" shall surely "consume" them, and it is in "this place" that I am enabled to trust them with the aforementioned "full measure" of anointing [My power].

+       Having been "loved" by Divine Love one can never settle for the "emotional gratification" that many attempt to define as "love".

+       Truly I say to you, in this last hour the righteous shall be "clothed" with honour. But, in the same way, it is certain that the unrighteous shall be clothed with "dishonour".

[January 31st 2007]

+       I have not called My children to handle "injustice" by "cursing" it.

+       Leaning upon one's "own" understanding is rooted and grounded in "lawlessness".

+       All those who hold to the "doctrine" of "cheap grace" presume that [mentally ascend to] My grace is the continual "overlooking" of irresponsibility [rebellion] and sin. It is not! While My mercy endures over one as long as there is still a seed of desire in their heart to repent - My grace is accessed by the believing and trusting heart.

+       "Faith" without true "corresponding action" [actions carried out in the revelation and power of My Spirit] is in reality, unbelief.

+       As My people abide in My Word then it is certain that the Spirit of wisdom and revelation shall continually supercede the "spirit of mental ascent" [soulish reasonings in the power of one's own understanding].
