EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[JUNE 1st 2007]

+ Do My children not realize that when I continually flood their lives with a superabundance of divine blessing that it does great harm to Satan - as they continually abide in My Wisdom, and go forth in perfect obedience?

+ If any one of My children are in what they consider a "bad situation" or circumstance, and they have a revelation of the fact that what caused it was fear and unbelief, then they must realize that to continue exercising fear and unbelief  in any way is to, in some way,  perpetuate that negative situation.

+ Not one of My children should expect to enter into the fullness of the ministry that I have created them to walk in, whilst they harbour and maintain unforgiveness and bitterness in their heart.

+ I bring people "across the path" of My children - both physically and spiritually [divine connections] - in order to fulfill My highest purposes for their life and ministry [both individually and corporately].

[JUNE 2nd 2007]

+ Everything that the world prides itself in as being "moral", righteous, or courageous is quickly "dissolved" upon receipt of a revelation of the reality of My Precious Son, and all that He did in perfect obedience before Me!

+ If My children would just simply "act" in obedience, and continue to do so, they would soon find that they would have neither the time nor the desire for "worldly amusements".

+ "Self-satisfaction" is a chief characteristic of the fool.

+ The flesh exercises a "natural love" to the degree that the object or person on which it bestows its affection, serves its own "self-interest".

+ Perfect love [obedience] will always effect a perfect deliverance.

[JUNE 3rd 2007]

+ One "underestimates" the Evil One by failing to guard their heart with all diligence [Proverbs 4:23].

+ There is an "empowerment" that comes through an act of obedience that begets continued obedience. There is an "empowerment" in an act of the flesh that begets continued fleshly action.

+ My children are the only people in this earth who do not have to remain in darkness - for by their spiritual positioning those in the "world" have darkness as their due.

+ It is certain that a "single eye" will ALWAYS, always produce the needed light.

+ Those things that I am speaking to My holy apostles and prophets, in these last days, are truly My "final words" to My children in this "dispensation" [Church Age]. These "words" [of Absolute Truth] are greatly anointed, and when received into a heart that is "wholly given" to My highest purposes they shall surely help lead that one [or ones] into the fullness of their precious inheritance in Christ. And truly I say to you, they shall be perfectly equipped to fulfil the ministry that I created them to walk in and they, too, shall help prepare and lead My spotless and unblemished Church to the "Catching Away".

[JUNE 4th 2007]

+ Those who are quick to judge with an "unrighteous judgement" have already left themselves wide open to deception - and a lack of true discernment.

+ If the "self-life" is not denied then it shall "flourish" [bloom] under the hand of Satan in much the same way that weeds and thorns "flourish"! And thus, refusal to deny self - continually - shall surely lead to those "entanglements" which shall surely keep one in the place where they "misrepresent" Me.

+ If My children "maintain" a fear of being deceived then they shall surely be deceived.

+ My children need to discern moment to moment those things that are profitable or not profitable to the establishment of My Church and the furtherance of My Kingdom in the earth. For in doing so they shall surely "rise above" the schemes of the Evil One, and they shall begin to "control" him and his forces to a "degree" never before seen in the earth [John 14:12]!

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[JUNE 5th 2007]

+ Sometimes it is a very fine line between whether one is looking at their opposition as Satan or "flesh and blood". If one speaks a word in "fear" then whether they realize it or not - and even if they deem themselves to have a revelation that their battle is not against flesh and blood - that word is directed toward "flesh and blood". On the other hand, if they have truly allowed themselves to be empowered by love, then regardless of their "tone" or the words they speak, they shall have the "assurance" in their heart that those words are directly aimed at the evil forces behind the "ground" in those used by Satan. A word spoken in fear and pride [offense] shall always produce strife and division for its root is found in bitterness and hatred. A word spoken in love - regardless of the reaction of the one spoken to - shall always sow the seeds of My "greatest eternal benefit" in that one.

+ When has one walked in a true and perfect love and then not "known" Who empowered it? Truly I say to you, if My children shall diligently focus on My Word, that "abiding" Word shall give them a "constant" discernment between that which is of the soul and that which is of the spirit.

+ If one is abiding in the "flesh" then to them all that is of the S(s)pirit they shall consider to be of the flesh and all that is of the flesh they shall consider to be of the S(s)pirit. Hence the importance of abiding in My presence.

+ Many have "allowed" themselves to be deceived concerning the love walk. They consider themselves to be walking in love towards a person or in a situation - and for a time are able to "maintain" good appearances. But truly I say to you, if they do not repent of their unforgiveness [hatred and bitterness] then, eventually, the true state of their heart shall be brought out into the open.

[JUNE 6th 2007]

+ If the fear of being "taken advantage of" is "allowed" manifestation in one's life then they are surely being controlled by a "spirit of poverty".

+ The only "concern" of My bondservants and handmaidens should be to measure fully [use to the greatest degree] "all" that I have blessed them with in Christ to carry out the work of the Kingdom - with a "pin-point accuracy".

+ No matter how far any of My children have "allowed" themselves to be "backed into a corner" by Satan and his forces My full and absolute deliverance has already been accomplished for them in Christ. They need only "receive" it" - and walk in it.

+ As My children flood [saturate] their heart with My Word in this season THEN they shall surely see that wherever they set foot there shall be an outpouring of My Spirit through them.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[JUNE 7th 2007]

+ There is only One that is good [righteous] - and that is the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. There is only one that is bad and that is Satan [Romans 6:16]! Quite simply, this is why one's battle is never against "flesh and blood". And it is also why one should never accept anything as "good" unless they have the assurance [revelation] that it is born of Me.

+ As My handmaidens and bondservants abide in perfect obedience the Spirit of obedience that is continually manifested through them shall cause all those whose hearts are "wholly given" to be lifted up into the "fullness" of their inheritance in Christ, and they shall surely fulfil completely the fullness of My calling upon their life and ministry.

+ Many of My children are constantly talking about the things that are apart from Me [from My Kingdom], and they are constantly walking in a place outside of My perfect and absolute will for their lives. Truly I say to you, my beloved ones, it ALWAYS comes down to only this one thing: perfect obedience - before Me.

"perfect obedience" - a revelation of the Father's will, and the carrying out of that Will in the timing [unction] and power of the Holy Spirit - alone;

+ My children must not "stand around" waiting for the "outpouring of the Holy Spirit" - they must be found abiding in My presence. For it is through My people that My Spirit is poured out upon the earth - as, in their obedience,  they create a "true spiritual environment" - both individually and corporately. First in their own individual time in the "inner chamber" with Me and then, corporately, as "I" divinely connect those who are of a kindred spirit.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[JUNE 8th 2007]

+ Many complain and grumble about the fact that their children never call upon them unless they need something - usually finances. And this grumbling and complaining is a result of the "love of money" remaining the dominant factor in their own lives. And, thus, they fail to realize that they do to Me exactly what their children are doing to them.

+ I always write the "perfect script"!

+ To "waver" or not to waver from the quest for My perfect will for ones life and ministry is always based on the deepest inclination of the heart - never the "temporary" actions of the flesh [ones own understanding or preconceived notions]. For there is, indeed, a learning process in the ways of the Kingdom and, thus, a transition to be made from the ways [mind-sets] of the world. But if ones heart is wholly given to Me - and to My highest purposes then they shall never be found wavering in My sight.

"waver" - to move one way and the other; to be uncertain or undecided; show irresolution; vacillate; to show signs of falling back; falter;

+ Only I know a person's "heart" - whether, and to what degree, they will ultimately serve Satan or serve Me.

+ Truly I say to you, a "holy caution" is another constant by-product of an abiding love in one's heart.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[JUNE 9th 2007]

+ If a certain thing is of Me then it is "perfection" - regardless of what it may "seem" like or "feel" like to those who are present.

+ Any ground of fear [pride] "maintained" in the heart will always translate itself into selfish words and selfish actions because "all" selfishness has its root in fear [self-sufficiency] - based on a certain mistrust of My Provision.

+ What would happen if My holy apostles and prophets fail to exercise a "holy intolerance" [perfect obedience] when they come upon a situation of less than "My Best" being manifested in the church? Would it not remain the same [and acceptable] to the undiscerning eye , and yet continue to "worsen" [go further into darkness]? At times My holy apostles and prophets shall surely be accused of "self-exaltation" as they are used as "vessels of correction and reproof" but they must not fear, for as they abide in perfect love [perfect obedience] I shall surely vindicate fully their every word and action! They must take no thought for themselves, but rather, they must continually lay down the "self-life" in order that My perfect love [absolute truth] might flow forth through them to all those who cross their path.

+ Many of My children are walking around viewing the revelation being put forth concerning My highest purposes [the Glorious Church and the establishment of the Kingdom] in this last hour as some sort of "dream-like" and improbable existence. But truly I say to you, as they draw near to Me in the "inner chamber" this so-called dream-like and improbable existence shall become their one reality.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[JUNE 10th 2007]

+ The only reason that one would question a "decision" made by one of My delegated authorities is because they have been deceived into believing that that "decision" is going to "cost" them something. In other words, they fear that they shall suffer "loss". Let it be clearly understood that when one of My handmaidens or bondservants makes a "decision" based on the revelation knowledge that I have placed in their heart - that knowledge being in perfect accordance with My will - then that decision rendered shall ALWAYS be for the greatest eternal benefit of all those who are affected by the decision - both directly and indirectly.

+ One can never come to the place of abiding in perfect obedience if they are afraid to allow Me to confront "any and every" ground of fear in them.

+ Only perfect love [obedience] will get the job done!

+ Love never fails to obtain what love desires.

+ All rebelliousness in the midst of My people is going to be "unearthed" [exposed] as I send forth My holy apostles and prophets in this last hour [1 Corinthians 3:13].

*****

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[JUNE 11th 2007]

+ Only those who are in some form of fear seek to "hide" [escape].

+ Many are "attempting" to bear fruit in My Church under the "unction" of the flesh; but truly I say to you, this is futility [vanity] personified - regardless of how good their words might sound or how good their works might look.

+ If one does not "allow" My love to be "expanded" [shed abroad] in their heart [Romans 5:5] then selfishness [fear-pride] shall surely "increase" in their life [1 John 4:18].

+ At any given moment one is either putting those who cross their path in the "presence" of Satan - or My presence.

+ Any word or act of "self-justification" always leads one deeper into darkness, and the false assurance that they are in the center of My Will - while, in reality they are not in My Will at all.

*****

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[JUNE 12th 2007]

+ Regardless of how good one's "intention" may seem concerning their following after Me, if their soul-life [self-desire] has any part in their motivation then it will most certainly manifest itself in a "holding part back" from Me - as far as carrying out the fullness of My Will for their life and ministry.

+ Passivity is rooted and grounded in fear and "self-consciousness". Presumption is rooted and grounded in a spirit of pride and self-exaltation.

+ Holding to any form of unforgiveness is a time-consuming and harmful "pastime".

+ To the degree that one of My handmaidens or bondservants tolerate unbelief [sin] in their own lives, it is to that same degree that they will "tolerate" unbelief [sin] in the lives of all those who cross their path.

+ To the degree that one denies their "self-life" it is to that degree that the Anointing will flow freely through them to give life to all those who cross their path.

*****

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[JUNE 13th 2007]

+ The failure of many of My "ministers" to abide in perfect obedience perpetuates a "cycle of darkness" [fear, doubt and unbelief] in the midst of the congregations.

+ There is no room for self-indulgence on the "narrow path".

+ The flesh [old nature] "always" deems its every thought and action as justified - regardless of the circumstance - because the flesh is always in a perpetual state of deception.

+ It is a dangerous thing for any one of My children to be "satisfied" with anything less than perfect obedience. Because to the degree that they are satisfied with anything less than a perfect obedience it is to that degree that they maintain "unrighteous leaven" in their heart.

+ The S[s]pirit of the fear of the Lord's chief manifestation is whole-hearted reverence towards Me - and ALWAYS produces superabundant life and growth. The spirit of  [unholy] fear [unknownly]"reverences" Satan and his lies and its chief manifestation is darkness, continually leading one away from Me and from My will and highest purpose for that one. It also always produces death [in some form] and corruption [disorder] - spirit, soul, body, financially, relationship-wise, environment-wise and ministry-wise.

*****

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[JUNE 14th 2007]

+ If any one of My children holds "any" part of their heart back from Me then that "ground of leaven" that remains shall surely cause them to "strive" by the power of their own understanding to formulate continually their "own plan" for serving Me, and thus they shall become increasingly more "frustrated" until such a time as that ground of fear [selfishness] is truly given up.

+ Any word or action spoken or carried out by the power of the "flesh" cannot, in any way, bear fruit for My Kingdom - or the establishment of the True Church.

+ If My children are truly thankful to Me for all the blessings that I have bestowed upon them then they will obey Me.

+ "Perfect obedience" is the key to the "true" prosperity.

+ "All" frustration in one's life is rooted and grounded in disobedience towards My will for their lives - both believer and non-believer.

*****

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[JUNE 15th 2007]

+ There is no faith in "any" word or action that is "motivated" by the fear of what others think.

+ My children should not be looking for a certain "feeling" but rather they should be looking to be found in their  "proper positioning" according to My will - regardless of how they "feel" or do not feel - as the case may be.

+ There is an "exactness" [a desire for pin-point accuracy in service] lacking in the lives of many of My children.

+ If one is set in their heart on maintaining" sin in their lives then they shall "conveniently" reject the words that are spoken by My holy apostles and prophets in this hour.

*****

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[JUNE 16th 2007]

+ Many of My children have been "sitting around waiting" [passively] for the prayers that they prayed to be answered [the "physical manifestation to come forth], instead of continually moving on from faith to faith, obedience to obedience  and glory to glory and, thus, allowing My perfect unfolding to take place.

+ Divine authority in Christ is most certainly a part of My children's inheritance.

+ My way is not to "gratify the soul" of My children it is to both bless and gratify [fill to overflowinging and satisfy] their spirit in such a way that My "blessings" [life-light-love] shall flow forth out of their spirit into their soul [mind, will, and emotions]; into their body; and into the lives of "all" those with whom they have to do [all those who "cross their path" - spiritually and physically].

+ "Pin-point accuracy" is one of the direct and spontaneous by-products of "every" thought brought captive to a perfect obedience" [a revelation of My Word-Will].

*****

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[JUNE 17th 2007]

+ "Sin-consciousness" is the "mind-set" that believes and practices [holds to] words or doctrines that are the product of a  "mental ascension" to My Word. It is "any" belief held to apart from the "revelation knowledge" imparted by My Spirit - the Spirit of wisdom and revelation. The chief characteristic of ALL "sin-consciousness" is that it denies to some degree the power of the Precious Blood of My dear Son - a "power" that is needed for each and every one of My children to victoriously "rise above" the attempts on their life and ministry by the Evil One in this last hour - and ALWAYS leaves that one holding to [believing in] it in a position of "non-resistance" to the destructive schemes of Satan and his forces.

+ By the power of My Spirit, working through My "pure" and holy vessels, I am going to "obliterate" [efface] the "sin-consciousness" that has plagued the vast majority of the congregations of My people and held them in bondage to fear.

"efface" - to rub out; to obliterate, as a memory;

+ If My children are going to walk in the fulness of their inheritance in Christ [abide in perfect obedience] then it is certain that they are going to have to partake of "all" that I have provided for them in Christ, moment by moment, day by day!"....

+ There are no "corners" ["no cutting corners"] on the Highway of Holiness!".... [Isaiah 35:8-9]

+ I did not call My holy apostles to "discuss" [theorize] My Word with My children. I have called them as "messengers" [sent ones] that they might receive from Me in My Throne Room, and deliver the Word [revelation] that expresses the deepest thoughts and intentions of My heart in any given moment.

"theory" - a supposition based upon an ignorance [lack of revelation] of the subject at hand;

"theorize" - speculate;

+ My law[s] of "divine increase" [multiplication] in the Kingdom are like nothing the "world" has ever seen within its own "confines" [boundaries]. In this final hour I shall cause those who have been faithful and true to the "Vision" [the revelation of My Will and plan for the Glorious Church - and their part in it] to be great signs and wonders in the realm of Kingdom finances -  in order that the multitudes might both see and experience Who I truly am.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[JUNE 18th 2007]

+ As I do a continually deeper work of the Cross in the hearts of all those who are seeking to walk in the fullness of My calling upon their lives any "resistance" toward [against] My will [Word] - a resistance that is a product of the "flesh" ["desire for other things" - Mark 4:19] shall gradually be broken down until, in the "fullness of time", they will have been brought to the "end" of themselves, and then - and only then - shall they be ready [fitted] to enter into [receive and walk in] the fullness of their inheritance in Christ. For truly I say to you, as long as My children continue to "make their own plans" Satan will be enabled to formulate His schemes against them - keeping them out of the fullness of what truly belongs to them in Christ - while maintaining any "stronghold" [yoke of bondage] he has in their lives.

+ Leaning on one's own understanding will always produce "manifestations" of the "curse" in one's life and ministry.

+ If My children are truly "touched" by the outpouring of My Spirit [the former and latter rains] in this hour, and take heed to the revelation of the "true" prophetic timetable that is being "revealed" from the Throne Room [the Glorious Church -> the "catching away" ->  and THEN the Wedding Feast -> and the GREAT Tribulation simultaneously;] then it shall surely lead them into a continually deeper consecration and devotion towards Me. Let it be clearly understood that only those whose hearts are "wholly given" to Me shall see and understand My perfect ordering and unfolding in this final hour. There are still many shepherds and teachers who are deceived concerning my highest purposes, and yet they continue to put forth My Word and portray it as absolute truth and correct doctrine - and, thus, many of My precious sheep have been led astray [some through their own adherence to following after "flesh and blood" as opposed to Me]. They do not have My heart nor do they have My mind concerning these things. Let it be clearly understood that EVERY false doctrine and every element of error shall be exposed in this most glorious season through the holy fire that shall be poured forth through those who are pure in heart, and because of these things many shall repent [turn around and face the other way], and find the "true" spiritual environment, and the true delegated authorities that I have provided for them.

+ Those seeking "solely" an "emotional uplift" in the midst of the outpouring of My Spirit may experience a certain state of  "euphoria" for a time but it shall not last, and it shall enable Satan to come in and snatch any "blessing" that they partook of in the midst of the congregation. For truly I say to you it is the "heart" that I look upon, and it is My deepest desire that all of My children seek Me continually from their heart [with "all" of their heart] - for anything less on their part is just another form of "self-indulgence" [a temporary "fix"]. If any of My children seek Me with a "wrong motive" then I shall surely expose it in the manner that is for their "greatest good" that they might become partakers of My holiness [Hebrews 12:10].

+ Perfect obedience is a catalyst to an "absolute" faith - and an absolute faith [perfect love] is a catalyst to a perfect obedience.

*****

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[JUNE 19th 2007]

+ An absolute faith works through an absolute [perfect] love; which works through an absolute [perfect] obedience; which works through an absolute love; which works through an absolute faith; which works through an absolute obedience.

+ Many of My children seem "surprised", at times, when one of their prayers is answered. As they begin to "abide" in My Word they shall soon see that every one of their prayers shall be answered quickly in this season - and exceedingly beyond "all" they can ask or think.

+ The "substance" of a "diligent man" is precious to him, and he "continues" to handle it diligently.

+ The reason that many of My children have not yet grasped the "reality" of My Kingdom within them and, thus, have it continually manifested in their physical lives, is because they have been slow to grasp my Word which states, "Do you not discern and understand this parable [the parable of the sower - Mark 4:10-20]? How then is it possible for you to discern and understand "all" the parables? As My people will maintain a "seed-consciousness" - spirit, soul, body and financially - then they shall surely be found "abiding" in My Kingdom. But truly I say to you, if one remains in "fellowship" with the world than that shall be the "kingdom" that their feet are firmly planted in.

[JUNE 20th 2007]

+ What does it matter if men "name" something [denominations] if the spirit and "power" behind the name that they have chosen is not of Me?

+ It should be of a far greater concern to "offend" Me than to "offend" flesh and blood [fear what others think].

+ Putting forth revelation without "unction" [the anointing abiding within] is both incomplete and presumptuous ministry.

JESUS:

+ As the outpouring of My Spirit continues to increase in this Third Day [Hosea 6:1-3] you shall truly see amazing and magnificent things! There is a "certain" unregenerated man who shall physically die - be raised from the dead - fulfil the fulness of My purpose for his life and go on to rule with Me in the Millennial Kingdom when for all intents and purposes it "looked like" he would spend eternity in Hell! Such is the power of My Spirit that shall be continually poured out as My Glorious Church begins to truly "take legs" in this hour!

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

[JUNE 21st 2007]

+ There is a difference between "seed-mindedness" and "money-mindedness". One is a product of the spirit, and the other is a product of the soul [flesh].

+ If My children do not take the "authority" that I have given them over Satan then [through their fear and unbelief] Satan shall surely take authority over [control] them!

+ Unless those in positions of leadership are abiding in perfect obedience - enlightened continually by the Spirit of wisdom and revelation that abides within them - then somewhere along the line they shall "abuse" in some way the authority that has been given them and the sheep will remain in bondage. Truly I say to you, I am raising up a mighty wave of bondservants and handmaidens in this last hour and they shall not be "abusers of authority"! And they shall minister My Word perfectly in order that My people's "needs" might be met, and all the "captives" in the midst of the congregations might be set free.

+ Faith is spiritual courage.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[JUNE 22nd 2007]

+ There are those of My children who at this time are out in the "world", and they shall come to the "certain realization" that unless they seek Me with "every" fibre of their being they are headed for certain "unmitigated [absolute] disaster" in every area of their lives - not the least of which would be their financial ruin! Truly I say to you, as they begin to seek Me, and set themselves to acknowledge Me in "all" of their ways, THEN I shall surely direct their paths and I shall lead them to My holy apostles and prophets [handmaidens and bondservants], and through them I shall speak forth the "wisdom" [revelation] that will set them back on My "proper course" for their life and ministry. And not only shall they be delivered from the "circumstances" they had previously been in, but I shall take them to "unimaginable levels" of Kingdom-service and financial wealth, and they shall become My "distributors" [fulfil the "office" of giving] throughout the earth in this final hour - and they shall bless My holy apostles and prophets greatly! For they shall "know" that it was the very "anointing" upon the holy apostles and prophets that delivered them in their darkest hour!

+ A "spirit of lethargy" attempts to produce a state of "indifference" [apathy - lack of devotion]. The "physical symptoms" include excessive drowsiness or abnormally deep sleep. "Food intake" [both physical and spiritual - excessive physical food intake and lack of spiritual food intake] is a key "tool" in any effective attack that "they" [the evil spirits] attempt. When one of My children experiences an attack by this "spirit" they must simply "forge" ahead in perfect obedience ignoring the "physical symptoms", and as they speak the words that will take authority over this spirit the anointing that abides within them shall surely "crush" the attack and drive that "spirit" into oblivion!

+ It is the aim of a "spirit of lethargy" to make My children "forget" previous spiritual experiences [revelation] - through a sustained and oppressive attack [many times heaviness] against both the soul [mind, will, and emotions] and the body. But it can only accomplish what it sets out to accommplish if one of My children choose to walk by "sight" [be moved by what they "feel" by taking the five physical senses as their final authority] and not by faith. For if they walk by faith and not by sight then they shall surely remain "above" the attack against them. For it is certain that these evil spirits only have "dominion" in the "sense realm" [feelings - emotions].

"lethargy" - indifference;  Gk: "lethargos" - forgetful;

[JUNE 23rd 2007]


+ If one of My children maintains "any" ground of unforgiveness then it is certain that they shall be bound by a "spirit of hypocrisy".

+ All overeating is the result of a seeking after an "outward consolation" - apart from Me.

+ Today [this season] is the beginning of the very end of Satan and his "schemes" in My church.

+ One cannot consider themselves faithful in the "little things" if they "allow" themselves to be controlled in any way by a "spirit of self-indulgence".

+ Perfect obedience shall always lead to the "soon-crushing" of Satan under your feet.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[JUNE 24th 2007]

+ Money without My Spirit is "worthless"! "Authority" without My Spirit is powerless!

+ Always remember, My beloved ones, that the Spirit of Christ is greater than the spirit of antichrist.

+ One should never "succumb" to the "pressure" [reproach] that comes upon them through Satan's attack [through flesh and blood] of "not being loved" by a brother or sister. For if they do they shall surely be found walking in less than a "perfect love" towards those Satan used against them. Rather than succumb to the aforementioned pressure, this very pressure exerted upon them "should" result in an "intensified effort" to walk in perfect love [perfect intercession] toward the one[s] being used by the Evil One as vessels of persecution and division.

+ If one's spirit-man "remains" in dominance over their soul and body then it is certain that their "senses" are trained, and continue to be trained, to discern between "good and evil" [righteousness and unrighteousness - Hebrews 5:14 ].

[JUNE 25th 2007]

+ To the degree that one of My children "pursues" righteousness, it is to that degree that My blessings - spirit, soul, body and financially - shall "pursue" and overtake them.

+ Every time that one moves - in any way - because of the "fear of what others think", then they are exalting "flesh and blood" above My Word [Will].

+ One is not going to walk in the "fullness" of divine prosperity until they "allow" Me to deal with any "ground" of the "love of money" working in their lives.

+ Walking by faith [obedience] and walking by revelation are one and the same thing.

+ "All" self-desire limits Me.

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[JUNE 26th 2007]

+ Always remember this: a "miracle" [My intervention into the natural scheme of things] shall always have a profound [glorious] and far-reaching effect on the "natural circumstances" in any given situation.

+ It is certain that if one asked any one of My children if a certain thing "belonged to them" that they would have to answer "yes". But if I asked them who it belonged to then what would their answer be?

+ I have called My children to "stewardship" not "ownership".

+ The one who has "possession" [ownership] is the one that has "full" control.

+ If I call any one of My children to give anything - at any given time - it is for this one purpose and this one purpose only [as far as they are concerned]: that they might continually sow [in a perfect obedience-love] the "necessary" seeds in order to bring them into a state of "continual increase" - and My greatest blessing in their own lives. This, in order that they might be a continual blessing to all those who cross their path, and perfectly meet the "needs" of the people through the divine prosperity that continually overtakes them.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[JUNE 27th 2007]

+ Any act that is apart from Me is an unrighteous act! Any word [or prayer] that is spoken apart from a revelation of My Word and the unction of My Spirit is an unrighteous word [prayer].

+ The desire to be "self-sufficient", in any way, is a most dangerous desire for one to "maintain"!

+ My children must "consciously" make an effort to humble themselves before Me - day in and day out. For it is in this way - and this way only - that they will remain "above" the place wherein they would surely "succumb" to a spirit of self-exaltation in their dealings with others.

+ It is the anointing abiding within that does the "work". It is the anointing that sets the captives free. It is the anointing that breaks the yoke. It is the anointing that enlightens hearts. It is the anointing that heals the sick. It is the anointing that raises the dead. It is the anointing that empowers one to a perfect obedience. It is the anointing that empowers one to "give all" to Me continually. Truly I say to you, it is the anointing that does "all" things pertaining to the edification of My Church and the establishment of My Kingdom in the earth.

+ Regardless of what "flesh and blood" does [or does not do] in their dealings with My bondservants and handmaidens the only real "hindrance" to My bondservants and handmaidens [those whose heart is wholly given to Me] both "receiving", and walking in, the "fullness" of the ministry that I have called them to is the exercising of "self-desire" on their own part. As My bondservants and handmaidens put aside "all" self-desire they shall surely find themselves walking in the "fullness" of the anointing abiding within them and upon them - for the fulfillment of My highest purposes in the earth.

[JUNE 28th 2007]

+ If My children do not set their hearts "continually" on the carrying out of My will then it is "certain" that they shall set their hearts - to a certain "degree" - on "any increase" [of blessing] that comes [Psalm 62:10b].

+ Whatever one has a "consciousness" of [righteousness or sin] then that is what controls their "attitude", and it is one's attitude that motivates and controls [empowers] both their words and their actions [2 Corinthians 5:21].

+ I have called My holy apostles and prophets as vessels for the development of a "righteousness-consciousness" in My children - for it is only from a "righteousness-consciousness" that one can be found "abiding" in a perfect obedience.

+ Every one of My children must have a clear revelation that they are called to be "pure and clean" vessels, for if they continue to maintain any ground of unrighteousness within them then that "leaven" shall allow Satan to stop - through "their" hardness of heart - the "flow" of the anointing abiding within them.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[JUNE 29th 2007]

+ When the spirit-man is kept in dominance over the soul [and body] then the "mind" becomes simply a "servant" to the spirit in the carrying out of My holy plans and purposes. But when the soul [the mind, the will and the emotions] is "allowed" to control one's existence then the mind [thought-life] dominates [squelches] the "divine impulses" [revelations] that are "continually" rising up out of the spirit-man. The "discipline" of bringing every thought captive to a revelation of My Word - Will [perfect obedience] is of "extreme" importance! For the failure to do so "negates" that one's effectiveness in edifying My people, and establishing My Kingdom in the earth.

+ As you speak My Word [absolute truth] in perfect accuracy - and thus continually release the anointing that abides within in the "fullness of conviction", then truly I say to you, it allows Me [by the power of My Spirit] to begin "painting the masterpiece" [a revelation of My heart and character] in the hearts of all those who will hear. And, as they continually guard their heart with all diligence, the incorruptible "seeds" that you have sown in them shall "continually expand" their vision of My Body - both concerning their individual calling and the corporate calling of My [Glorious] Church in this last hour.

+ How many "grains of sand" do you reckon are in the entire earth? How many "seeds" do you reckon are in the entire earth? These questions are beyond "mental ascension" for the answer to them lies only in Me! One must cast down any ground of "mental ascension" [the desire to "grasp" Me [My Word] in one's own understanding] for it is only in this way that the "Spirit of wisdom and revelation" can continually "enlighten" My children, and direct them "continually" in the paths of righteousness.

"grasp" - intellectual comprehension or mastery;

+ There is nothing so devastating to Satan and his forces as the praises rising up out of a heart that is wholly given to Me!

JESUS:

+ The "unbelief" [religious spirits] and the "hardness of heart" were the toughest things that I had to face in My earthly ministry - and so shall it be with you, My faithful ones. Rejoice! For I have anointed you to carry out every task with a pin-point accuracy and, truly I say to you, you shall both expose and devastate every religious stronghold that crosses your path in this most glorious hour.

[JUNE 30th 2007]

+ If one does not walk in love towards the people they are closest to [present environment] then what would make them "think" that they would love anyone anywhere else?

+ If those of My children who have allowed themselves to be "controlled" by a spirit of envy or a spirit of jealousy "knew" what I "require" of all those I have put in positions of great authority in My Church then they would quickly repent of their evil ways, and "allow" Me to "consume" that ground of fear within them!

+ Did I not say that wisdom is far greater and more precious than gold and silver? Truly I say to you, apart from My children abiding in My wisdom, financial wealth will not only keep them from answering and walking in the fullness of their calling, but it shall consume and destroy their entire lives.

+ The anointing that I have placed within and upon My holy apostles and prophets shall empower My people to prosper - as they [My people] truly begin to seek first the Kingdom, and to be righteously motivated in all things.

+ There is no defense against the exercising of a "perfect love"!
