EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[march 1st 2007]

+       There is a great difference between "My" joy and "My" peace and the "security" [provision] and "comfort" [happiness] the world "appears" to supply.

+       All "compromise" is rooted and grounded in one of My children "allowing" themselves to be moved by fear rather than being moved by faith [love].

+       I did not heal My people's memory[s] by the power of the precious Blood of Jesus so that they could "dredge up" past sin - through "choosing" to abide in a "sin-consciousness" [self-consciousness].

+       All "condescension" [disdain] is the result of one being "controlled" by a spirit of self-exaltation" [pride].

"condescension" - displaying arrogance and scorn;

"disdain" - look down on; reject with contempt; lack of respect accompanied by a feeling of intense dislike;

+       If My children do not "discipline" themselves to bring every thought captive to a perfect obedience [perfect love - absolute faith] then they shall surely be found, to a certain degree, to be speaking and acting apart from the "Spirit of wisdom and revelation".

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[march 2nd 2007]

+       Not that Satan, in himself, has the power to do anything but, rather, because of the "unbelief" [fear - mistrust] residing in the hardened heart of certain ones in "leadership", then that "agreement" with the spirit of fear releases the force of fear through that one's  words, and through their very presence in the midst of the congregation. Thus, instead of My people being set free and greatly edified they continue on in bondage to some degree, and thus they are literally "trapped" - through their own ignorance and "wrong environment" - into "fellowship" with the world and its self-serving ways! Truly I say to you, in this last hour I shall send forth My holy apostles and prophets, and the anointing abiding within them shall cause all of these things that I have just spoken to become abundantly clear in the midst of "all" My people - and they shall have a very small "window of opportunity" to "seek" a thorough repentance. But truly I say to you, the time is coming [and now is] wherein each man's work shall become evident [1 Corinthians 3:11-15], and whatever "position" they have "chosen" to be in - through either faith or unbelief - then in the same way as a "freeze-frame" is taken [on photographic equipment] that position they have chosen shall literally be, for the moment, frozen in time - exposed for all to see. Such is the power of the Third Day Anointing - an anointing of holy fire and light! So therefore, My children, incline your hearts diligently to My Word for the hour is late and "all" must make the choice of a clear allegiance to the Word and My Spirit or to the lies of the Evil One and the spirits of antichrist.

+       The "flesh" only knows itself and does not care about anyone or anything else but its own interests [agendas].

+       My children must "continually" put aside all "ill-will" [malice] towards "anyone" and seek My will [greatest eternal benefit] for them in any given situation.

+       When it comes right down to it the "religion of the unholy" is all about "self".

+       Any time that one is used as a vessel of "accusation" or "condemnation" the motivation of that "evil" [wicked] vessel is always rooted and grounded in the principle [law] found in Romans 2:1.

+       A vegetable or a flower growing in a garden is a "miraculous" harvest from the seed sown. How much more "miraculous" then is the harvest of the seeds sown in love [1 Corinthians 13:4-8a]?

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[march 3rd 2007]

+       The time has come, and now is, that all those who worship Me in spirit and in truth, shall be set apart and exalted [given the perfect platform to release all that I have blessed them with]; for they have humbled themselves before Me and I know their heart, and have heard their prayers.

+       Fear not My beloved children, for I will never allow the righteous to be shaken. You shall grow stronger in your love for Me - and for one another in this season. And a spirit of unity [one accord] as never seen before shall be developed in the midst of all those who truly love Me; and through the diligent and continuous wielding of the sword of the Spirit, you shall walk [abide] in great wisdom, power and light.

+       As long as one takes into account the evil done to them through Satan's vessel [flesh and blood], they are not walking in love.

+       "Rapture" [the great "catching away"] shall come at a time when even some believers who "have been" baptized with My Spirit will not [initially] be able to discern the lateness of the hour. But those who are "filled" continually with My Spirit - those whose hearts are truly "one" with Me - shall sense and know the lateness of the hour, and they shall discern the times and seasons with a pin-point accuracy. Therefore, let each one of My children heed the voice of My Spirit, and be found speaking and acting in "perfect" obedience - in order that all of the glorious works I have purposed  begin to unfold in My perfect order. And, after a short while, I will raise you up with Me - and you shall live in My presence forever.

+       Cast not your eyes back on your brothers and sisters who have been misled by the Evil One, My beloved ones - for by your example [holiness] you shall shine a great light that all may see those who are truly Mine. It is a time of unprecedented joy and blessing for My true servants; for they have been found faithful in the small things and they shall be entrusted with greater things. And now, the world shall see that which they have been searching for - but could not see because of the weakness of the church at large. But now, they shall see My glorious Church - and the glory which is manifested will draw many into the Kingdom. What the world is about to see, they have never seen before, and I say to you this day, My glory shall abound!

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[march 4th 2007]

+       My children, listen closely to My voice! For I am seeking those who are one with My heart. Do not lean upon your own understanding when you see what is going on around you - and amongst you. Walk by faith [love] in all things, and not by sight - for My ways are higher than your ways and My thoughts higher than your thoughts. Lean heavily on My Word with an absolute trust [faith] in all things and do not fear - for I am with you. Pay no heed to those who persecute you with the tongue, for in that time I will surely give to you words of wisdom and truth - and My power [love] will abound.

+       My bondservants and handmaidens [faithful sons and daughters] shall ride high on the crest of the wave of this outpouring of My Spirit [the former and latter rains] - in order that all might truly see My face, and come to know My heart and character.

+       I say to you this day, My children, that this "judgement" which is about to  come down upon My household [in its fullness] shall consume all that is not of Me, and how clearly shall the works of My people be made manifest in these days. For there is nothing that is hidden from Me, yet a "veil of darkness " remains over the eyes of many of My children. You will see many great signs and wonders in these very last days. I will show all of My people that I am surely watching over My Word to perform it [Jeremiah 1:12], and as they open their hearts and receive and stand upon it, they shall know that I am "El Shaddai",  and they shall know that I am "The Holy One of Israel"; and they shall all come to Me in one accord - and great and awesome shall My works be amongst the nations in this most glorious hour.

+       Be assured that there is nothing more intensely "practical" in any situation one enters into, than an act of "real" [absolute] faith.

+       When one mentally ascends to My Word, their eyes are closed to what I see - but in total reliance upon My Spirit, "revelation knowledge" is born and their eyes are opened wide to see "all" things as I see them.

+       The intense desire and determination to do "all" of My will is the secret of knowing it.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[march 5th 2007]

+       Any believer who acts on his own, immediately leaves the authority of the Word and comes directly under Satan's control. Every person in the earth - in any given moment - is either being controlled by Me through My Word or by Satan through disobedience to My Word [Will].

+       The life of faith is a life of obedience.

+       Time, when set in place as an idol in the lives of My children, opens the door for the Evil One to lay all manner of deception upon them - thus swaying them off of the narrow path of perfect obedience.

+       Man's own understanding and wisdom [and his self-esteem] are the "poison" that will cause him to harden his heart against Me.

+       In this hour you shall see great miracles [attesting signs and wonders] in the lives of those who - in believing -  forsake all to follow Me.

+       I say to you this day, My beloved children, incline your ear to My Word. Shut out all those things which "open the door" to the world; for even though the road is narrow which leads to perfect obedience, My eyes are fixed directly on those of My children who seek to walk on it - and truly, truly I say to you, they shall have the desires of their heart.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[march 6th 2007]

+       Only I know what is needed to be ministered in any given set of circumstances, and only the one who abides in My Word and fellowships with Me will truly be able to minister My "indignation" [righteous judgement]. For to those who walk with Me I have revealed the depths of My heart. And to those who allow their "emotions" to rise above their spirit, they cannot, and will not, be given any authority to put forth My Word; for in giving the Evil One ground, they would enable him to twist the word which is put forth, thus leading many of my flock astray.

+       There is an immense danger in My children retaining their sin in the face of the outpouring of My Holy Spirit [the former and latter rains]. For if they have made a heart decision to do so, then the ground they allow the Evil One to stand on, will cause them to cower in the presence of My Spirit, and because of this they will run away from Me instead of to Me. They will "feel" accursed [condemned] in My presence and they will deny all that proceeds from Me - and Satan will have been successful in his deception temporarily [it can be changed]. Even some who had sought Me previously will be swayed because of their adherence to their five physical senses [circumstances]. It is for this reason that I, through My bondservants and handmaidens, shall set forth great examples of "divine prosperity" and "divine restoration" in those lives which are based solely on My Word; for I say to you that those who have put My Word first place in their lives shall discern all things correctly in this final hour, and will not be deceived in ANY way.

+       I am infinitely more real than any thoughts or feelings which "fluctuate" continually in the soul of the one whose focus is on that which they perceive through their five physical senses.

+       Great shall be the works of those of My children who rely on My Spirit to guide their every move, and one is not able to comprehend the good things I have in store for them. I have called My children not to be moved by their five physical senses, but rather by My Word alone. In this My children have a surety, for My Word is eternal and truly I say to you I am the same yesterday, today, and forever. Rejoice My children for I am with you always!

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[march 7th 2007]

+       I am going to lead you to a person who will be an "integral" part of the ministry that I have called you to in the days ahead.

"integral" - existing as an essential constituent or characteristic;

+       A spirit of deception is prevalent within My church because many of My children persist in walking in and partaking of the things of the "world", and because of this Satan is enabled to keep them sick and in want. Put forth My Word concerning these things, that the veil of deception might be lifted. For truly I say to you those of My children who remain under bondage to the Evil One in some form, are perishing [remain uncovered; protected] because of a lack of knowledge of My Word. But, in this hour,  even many of  those  who have hardened their hearts against Me shall repent and seek My face; for My Word is living and active, and able to judge the deepest  thoughts and intentions of their heart

+       My children need to seek My face, for I have many great and wonderful things to show them. I see many of My children walking in an area far below that which I have provided for them. It is My desire to have My children walk with Me  moment by moment, that all their steps might be ordered by Me and that whatever circumstance they come across in the physical realm, their spontaneous reaction will be to take My Word - and the Power that comes with it - and control "every" circumstance in the areas that I have led them into. Therein shall My will be accomplished in the earth as it is in Heaven. Hence the importance and necessity of a heart given wholly to Me.

+       You need not fear any lies or slanderous accusations which are brought against you, My child; for every tongue which accuses you in false judgement, you will show to be in the wrong. Only abide in My Word and let My Word abide in you. For your battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the forces of the Evil One and I will deliver you, for vengeance is mine and I will repay!

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[march 8th 2007]

+       My beloved ones, you shall speak My Word in every situation that I lead you into, but behold, in speaking the truth continually with no compromise, those who continue to lean upon their own understanding and forsake My counsel shall surely be "offended". Make no apology for the words you speak, for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks and your hearts are filled with My Word! Therefore, speak out boldly, knowing that it is I who give you the words. Did I not say to you, "I have put My words in your mouth?" Only listen to all that I speak to you and hearken diligently unto the voice of My Spirit, for the words which you speak are life and only those whose hearts are hardened against Me - and who choose to sow the seeds of death in the face of the abundant life I have provided for them, will be offended.      

        Truly, truly I say to you, they shall be "pierced" in their hearts, for My Word is living and active and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. I am taking you into an area, My beloved ones, where you shall walk in the "fulness" of the ministries that I have called you to. Be not concerned in any way with the reaction of those I am sending you to, for I am with you to deliver you and even though they are a rebellious house, they shall surely know that I am with you. Some will receive you and some will throw their hands up in disdain, refusing to forsake the traditions and doctrines of men in which their hearts are well established.

        Do not be dismayed for I have made your face as hard as their faces and your forehead as hard as their foreheads, and no flesh will be able to stand before you! For from this moment forth I have "enlarged" your hearts and I have given you a "special anointing" to fulfill your ministries. Indeed, the time has come for you to walk in the fulness of all those things which I had planned for you, even before the foundation of the earth!

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[march 9th 2007]

+       As My children speak the words which flow from the "abundance" of their heart, and "know" that what they have said is in perfect accordance with My will -  in other words "speaking My word" in all things - they shall soon see that any form of "compromise" in their walk has become "extinct". For in the speaking of My Word there is no room for "apology" [compromise].

        As My prophets [and apostles] walked the earth throughout the centuries I trained them and prepared them in every way and THEN I sent them to My people. And even though, at times, My people did not take heed to the words that they spoke My servants did not relent, and despite the circumstances of threatening danger which continually surrounded them, they were not moved by anything but My Word [Will].

        I have trained you well in every way, My beloved and faithful ones, and I have placed you in a position of great authority in My Church for you are "vessels" of honour unto Me - and My people shall surely know that I have anointed you powerfully. Many have prayed and "believed" that I would send them those who would fulfill a true working five-fold ministry in the Church, and they shall know that their prayers have been answered - for they shall see that My hand is upon you. Guard your hearts with all diligence, My beloved ones, for from them shall flow the springs [torrents] of life [John 7:38]. Fear not and proceed with great boldness, for I shall be watching over every word you speak in this final hour to perform it [Jeremiah 1:12]!

+       The time is coming and now is that everyone of My children will be in the position of "having" to use their faith in "all" situations [it has always been this way]. They must learn to use their faith in order that they might be found relying upon Me for all things - for surely I am able to meet ALL of their needs. Yet many turn their faces away from Me, having been deceived by the Evil One. It is time for My people to build their firm foundation on the Rock [of revealed knowledge] for the "heavy rains" are fast approaching. I love all of My children, but I cannot take pleasure in those who continue to walk in their own understanding, for it is only faith that pleases Me.

        It grieves Me when I see My children continue to walk in the ways of this world, for the whole world lies in the power of the Evil One, and they leave themselves wide open to deception. And, if they continue to harden their hearts against Me [in rebellion], inevitably it will lead them into the torment [terror], darkness and destruction that is the fruit of those who align themselves with his lies.

        I have put forth My Word [absolute Truth] in every area of My Church, and I say with great urgency in My heart, let those who have ears to hear, hear! For the hour is late and My judgement is upon My household - and great shall be the manifestation of My glory in all the earth in this time of the Glorious Church!

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[march 10th 2007]

+       Rejoice My faithful ones, for I have many in the land who would gladly give all that I have blessed them with to support the five-fold ministry. Behold, even as I speak, the ministering spirits are busy gathering that which you need to carry out My will - in this most critical and glorious hour.

+       Giving is a matter of the heart. The giving and receiving of material things is only the manifestation of it in the physical realm. For it is the obedience of the heart I desire in each one of My children.

+       "Persecutions" and "affliction" are attempts by Satan to move My children from their position in the Kingdom of Heaven in Christ [faith, love, and obedience] - to the "world" and its ways [fear, unbelief, darkness and pride].

+       My Word and My Spirit are enough [to carry out the fullness of one's destiny, in Christ]! And to all those who are willing to walk by faith in all things, I say to you this day: it is you who will inherit the fullness of My Kingdom. For in humbling yourselves before My presence, you shall surely be exalted in the sight of My people, and I shall be able to manifest My power through you - and I shall begin to "pour forth" My Spirit upon all flesh in these days because of your faithfulness and obedience.

+       To "listen closely" [Ezekiel 3:3-10] is to take that portion of my Word which I have spoken to you and continually meditate on it - NEVER allowing yourselves to fix your mind by your own understanding. But rather, continuing to keep your heart open that I might reveal, by My Spirit, the fullness of the given Word as it pertains to your walk with Me in any given moment - and its part in My overall [corporate] plan for the Church and the Kingdom.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[march 11th 2007]

+       The thoughts and words and actions of My children declare the deepest intentions of their heart. As I have spoken, each one of My children shall be laid bare by the light of the consuming fire of My Spirit; for I desire holiness in My children and yet some refuse to walk uprightly before Me, but choose only to appear upright before men. But I say to you, in this day of My judgement, all will clearly see those who serve Me and those who do not, and My name shall no longer be blasphemed amongst My people. For by honouring traditions and doctrines of men, they have broken covenant with Me and truly I say to you this is a serious matter.

+       Dreams that cause fear and often denote tragic situations which are beyond hope are not from Me! For when I speak to My children in this way, I will not leave them in confusion and darkness, but will shine My light to guide them and teach them in the way that they should go. If one is plagued with constant nightmares it is because they have a deep-rooted fear in their hearts and because of this Satan has "ground" to tread on and cause his hatred for My children to be manifested in their lives. Have I not said in My Word, "Give the devil no opportunity?" As My children remove the sin from their lives and begin to walk by faith in My Word, the darkness in their lives shall be consumed by My light and they shall make their abode with Me and I with them.

+       "Bad report" [confession] is any word or group of words spoken by My children that in any way demeans their Redemption which was bought and paid for at Calvary; any word that denies the fact that Jesus is Lord of all; any word that denies that Jesus is the name above all names; any word spoken which denies the Blood of Jesus Christ - in any way, shape, or form.

+       "Absolute faith" is the force that is released from the abundance of one's heart by way of the tongue - completely independent of the five physical senses -  with the revelation of My Word as its only focus [trust and hope].

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[march 12th]

+       As My children begin to walk in the fullness of their inheritance the world will be "awestruck". For never before in the history of mankind will such power have been manifested. Look closely at My Word! For all these words I have spoken to you are portrayed clearly, but many of My children believe that the passages which describe My glorious Church throughout the Scriptures are speaking of something else - and for a different time. Truly, truly I say you this day, there will indeed be a group raised up in the earth who will speak My Word and carry out My Will - and nothing else.

+       Ego [self] is a counterfeit of faith. Faith [divine] is fully persuaded of what God can do. Ego is fully persuaded of what self can do. Ego says, "I can do all things". Faith says, "I can do all things through Christ [the Anointed One and His Anointing] which strengthens me".

+       When one acts in wisdom, the action that was taken will always come to light as the "perfect action" - whether or not this is shown immediately or some time down the road. It is a spiritual law. When one acts on My Word, even though it would seem easier to handle or control the given situation by one's own efforts, this stand on My Word will always produce the greatest blessing - and will allow My perfection to shine forth. In this way every circumstance, when handled by the usage of My Word, will show forth My wisdom continually in the lives of My children and they will indeed be "vindicated in all" that they have done - no matter how much shame or disgrace this world attempts to heap on them. For they will always walk in ways that are viewed as foolishness to the natural man, but the discerning heart shall see that they are sent from Me, and those given to operating in My wisdom shall be open vessels of My power and blessing, and they shall be a sign and wonder to all those who cross their path in this final hour.

[march 13th 2007]

+       Fear not, My beloved ones, for I have made your paths straight, and the way I have chosen for you has been prepared from before the foundations of the earth [Ephesians 2:10].

+       Truth, in His fullness, must be revealed to the masses in this last hour!

+       This illusion of calm is about to break, for the Evil One is fleeing in desperation from My Spirit. And in this last hour he [Satan] will be seen by My children for what he really is [a totally vanquished foe] and they, in turn, will exercise on him the "full authority" which they have been given in the earth, in Christ.

+       As My children resist the Devil continually in this hour, so shall he be in a constant state of fleeing before them - as they go forth to do the "works of the Kingdom".

+       A wholesome [pure - absolute] faith is one that does not attempt to peek around corners.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[march 14th 2007]

+       An "accusation" is a charge brought against a person, which is founded and based on a source other than the exact, or true, knowledge of My Word [revelation knowledge], and is always brought by one who has been held captive by the Evil One to do his will [2 Timothy 2:26]. It is in this way that Satan will attempt to persecute those of My children who seek only to live lives of godliness, in Christ.

+       Spiritual darkness is caused by a greater  desire to be "right" in one's own thinking, than to come to the knowledge of the truth at all cost to the "flesh".

+       Spiritual darkness only exists when the "natural" is put in the place of the "divine".

+       Anything less than walking in My perfect will - in the power of My Spirit is a "misrepresentation" of the Lord Jesus Christ.

+       As the minds of My children are renewed to My Word, they will surely grow to love Me more and more. For one must build a capacity for My Spirit to dwell within the "temple", and indeed My love shall be shed abroad in their heart, and through them that Love shall be poured out [in torrents] on all those who cross their path in this final hour.

+       "Unfailing" courage is courage which is based solely on love [absolute faith] - and every aspect of My will [Word].

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[march 15th 2007]

+       Everything you do and say must be based upon your love for Me - without regard for anything else.

+       The basic motivation of sin is the desire to be independent of Me.

+       Hold fast My beloved handmaidens and bondservants! Do not be moved by what you perceive through your physical senses; for I am about to do a great thing amongst you. Do not be  moved from your position of steadfastness. Take the authority that has been given to you and tread upon the Evil One at every turn, for the days of "misrepresentation" are over and it is the time of the revelation in the earth of My sons and daughters. I say to you this day that the traditions and the doctrines, which have hardened the hearts of My people, shall "melt as wax in the sun" for nothing that proceeds from evil [unrighteousness] is able to stand before the Word of My power. Truly, truly I say to you My day has arrived! Blow the  trumpet in Zion! Go forth and proclaim the deepest revelations of My Word unashamedly. Do not fear the taunts of men for the words you shall speak shall melt the hardness of their hearts - and render them powerless. No "flesh", or any manifestation thereof, shall stand in the presence of My glory in this final hour!

+       In this most critical and glorious hour it is imperative for My children to hearken to the voice of My Spirit in order that ALL giving might accomplish the "desired end" - which is the establishment of My Kingdom in the earth by the spread of the Gospel [of the Kingdom] to every nation. 

+       The Evil One will do what he will do in this hour, and I [the Father] will do what I will do! Draw near to Me, My beloved children, for that which I do in this hour through you will continually devastate Satans schemes and strongholds, and you must be ready to minister the Gospel [absolute truths of the Kingdom] to the multitude of
captives that shall gloriously be set free.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[march 16th 2007]

+       It has not been an uncommon thing - up until this time - for many of My children to desire separation from My Word before separation from their sin. For in desiring to retain "wilful" sin in their lives, they literally force themselves away from My Word. For indeed it is only My Word that has the capability of illuminating sin in the heart of a man/woman. In realizing this fact, one can easily see why many are running from the light [John 3:19-21]. The wilful retaining of sin in the hearts of My children causes great spiritual darkness to enshroud them and, in this final hour, they will have no way of knowing where they are going unless a deep and thorough repentance is forthcoming - because this darkness shall blind the eyes of anyone who hardens their heart against Me. Do not be surprised at any of the manifestations of this "deep darkness" that shall surely shall cover the peoples [the world]. Only arise, shine, for your light has come, and My glory has risen upon you and nations will come to your light - and kings to the brightness of your rising.

+       As My children put aside any reliance on a strength or conviction [preconceived notion] that is not of Me, and will continually cast their care on Me, there will be no more "fleshly" striving to walk in faith - and, indeed, they will surely enter into the fullness of My rest. The confession of, "I believe, cause me to be separated from any unbelief that is in me", allows the Holy Spirit to continually illuminate the hearts of My children, thereby dispersing any darkness therein - and indeed every thought will be brought captive to My Word as they truly humble themselves before Me.

+       Do not be concerned about those whose hearts have been hardened by years of doctrine and tradition; for as they repent and humble themselves before Me by forsaking all to make their abode in My Word, I shall restore all that the Evil One seeks to take, or has already taken from them - and they will surely enter into the fullness of their "Kingdom-position".

+       The Holy Spirit is as "destructive" of evil as He is "creative" of good!

+       If My children are not in a position to hear "clearly" the voice of the Holy Spirit, they are in a position to hear "clearly" the lying voice [thoughts] of the Evil One.

[march 17th 2007]

+       The key to unlocking the door to spiritual revelation of the deeper things of My Kingdom is to handle that which has already been given as holy, and with diligence - in obedience.

+       There still remains, to a certain degree, within some of My bondservants and handmaidens, a fear of being called arrogant and prideful as they put forth My Word in accuracy and power. My children must fill their hearts with My Word and know by faith when they speak that every word is Mine! I said in My Word that I would give My Spirit without measure to those whom I have sent to proclaim My Words, for it is written,

        ...."Since He whom God has sent, speaks the Words of God, proclaims God's own message, God does not give Him His Spirit sparingly or by measure, but boundless is the gift God makes of His Spirit, for the Father loves the Son and has given, entrusted and committed everything into His hand".... [John 3:34-35]

        Are those whom I have called not My sons and daughters?  Truly, truly I say to you is it not written in My Word that I love all of My children as I love Jesus? Indeed it is! Therefore My children must put aside all fear and they must walk in the power of My anointing which I have placed within each of them.There is no need for My beloved ones to misunderstand the anointing, for as they seek to understand I will surely reveal to them all they need to know by My Spirit, who lives and makes His home in their hearts.

        I desire My children to walk in My power in the earth - in all things - and as they do My glory shall fill the earth to a continually greater degree. How I long for the revealing of My sons and daughters in the earth; and as My children make their abode in My Word, they shall immediately begin to walk in the earth with the true authority that is theirs, and all the world shall know that they are indeed My sons and daughters.

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[march 18th 2007]

+       Many times My servants in the ministry are "insensitive" as they minister to My children and, thus, a degree of compulsion is put forth as they lead My people to receive from Me. Always remember this: hardness or insensitivity of heart in ministering will only serve to close the door of the heart of the one being ministered to! Traditions have developed in even the "frequent" altar calls and this must stop; for I desire the ministers of My Word to speak only the words I have given them to speak at that moment - never basing anything on a "preconceived notion" but, rather, always desiring to hear the voice of My Spirit in order that they might minister perfectly in all things. For it is not the "tone" of the words spoken in the natural realm [hearing by the physical ear], but rather the anointing of My Spirit on the words that are spoken that will get the job done. It is in this way that the deepest needs of those being ministered to will always be met perfectly.

+       One does not need financial prosperity and My blessings but for one thing: to accomplish My perfect will on the earth. When My children's hearts are in continual right-standing with Me, they shall indeed be entrusted fully with all the riches of My glory, and their hearts shall become an "open receptacle" of My grace and power - a grace and power that shall be poured out on all those who cross their path.

+       The pure desires of one's heart will always override the desires of their flesh when I am truly put first in "all" that they set out to do - and when their heart has been filled with an abundance of My Word. Even if one of my anointed ones "senses" that they are beginning in the natural, I because of the pureness of their heart towards Me, will be enabled to set them and keep them on My perfect path - whether it be concerning the words they speak or their actions in the circumstances which surround them at any given time.

[march 19th 2007]

+       The anointing I have placed on My bondservants and handmaidens in this last hour will shake the very "foundation" of the hearts of My people, and they shall come to know that there is no security or peace outside of obedience to My Word [Will].

+       If one of My children continually take a thought from their past experience it will only serve to cause the fear - which at one time controlled that area of their lives -  to arise. My children must bring every thought captive to My Word and they must hear and judge every word that comes out of their mouths. For any fear or sin that is "retained" in their heart will be manifested sooner or later through their mouths. If My children will deal immediately and harshly with every corrupt word that proceeds forth out of their mouth, it will soon allow them to purge themselves of any "unrenewed ground, and thus all fear and sin, and any bondage to a "sin-consciousness" shall be removed.

+       The anointed words spoken by My children have within them the potential to bring the hearer of those words into conformity with those words - which are spoken from My heart - and which are in accordance with My perfect will for that individual.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[march 20th 2007]

+       The Spirit of revelation will cause the spirit of a man to see that which it has already obtained in the New Birth, and the Spirit of wisdom will cause the spirit of a man to understand how to use what it has "seen" to continually further My Kingdom in the earth.

+       Keep your eyes on the end goal, My beloved children, and in all that you do seek to establish "My government" in the earth. Fear not for I am with you to keep you from falling. Disregard those things which have their roots in the world system, and preach the good news of the Kingdom. Many of My children openly bow their knee to Satan by their continual fellowship with his world system. They have allowed themselves to be deceived because of the hardness of their hearts. Tell My people that "all" that is not of Me shall perish, and that the works of the flesh in My church [works which hinder the furthering of My Kingdom] shall be made evident for all to see - regardless of how "cleverly hidden" they appear to be.

+       Those people whom I have prepared to "lead" [serve] My Church are taught to build up My Church. Therefore, the true apostles and prophets and evangelists and pastors and teachers, shall be seen to have one desire - and one desire only - and that is the edification of the Body of Christ at all cost to themselves. There will be no speculations or lofty imaginations towards My Word from those who serve Me from a pure heart. Many things that have been written in My name are solely the product of the "vain reasonings" of men, whose only desire is to exalt themselves above My wisdom - and has nothing to do with building up of My true Church, but rather, Her destruction!

+       The only way My children are able to be completely free from the effect of tradition and the doctrines of men, is to obey both My written word and the voice of My Spirit at all times. For "tradition" has its root in the wisdom of this world, while I desire My children to abide in My wisdom at all times - thus allowing My life and light to manifest spontaneously in "every" circumstance through them.

[march 21st 2007]

+       It is never a matter of My children having to "earn" My blessing. It is a matter of them being in "position" to allow My blessing to overtake them and rest upon them; and it is perfect obedience to My Word and the voice of my Spirit alone which will cause My children to be in that position which shall bring them forth into the fulness of the rich inheritance I have given them in Christ.

+       The only way for one's "emotional" needs to be met is for them to have their "spiritual" needs met first - through a revelation of My Word [Love].

+       Real faith is the product of a deep and clear revelation in one's heart of "abiding" in Christ.

+       To the degree that My children rely on My Word, it is to that degree that they are "in Christ" - in any given moment. Therefore, the continual exercising of faith and obedience, moment by moment, day by day, will ensure their appropriation of the "fullness" of their salvation.

+       Feelings of unworthiness and insecurity in My children are a product of believing a lie. For if one is not believing the truth, in faith, then they are exercising "natural" faith [fear] in the reciprocal lie of the Evil One.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[march 22nd 2007]

+       There have been few of My children, My beloved ones, who have walked above "all" compromise - walking in accordance with My Word in perfect obedience. But truly I say to you I have My holy bondservants and handmaidens in position, and they shall lead My people powerfully, in this last hour. I shall form a bond "supernaturally" by the power of My Spirit [divine connections], between all those who have answered their call to this last wave of My five-fold ministry and they shall be living vessels of My love and light and truth to all. Truly I say to you, in this last hour My people shall indeed be known by the love which they have abiding in their hearts for one another. A love that will melt the coldest hearts and mend the "irreparable" wounds of the soul. For indeed My love "never fails" to meet the needs of a heart that will open itself to be a partaker of My blessing [grace].

+       If one does not "know " who Love is [I am], then how would they ever know if they were being loved or not?

+       In order to walk in the fullness of excellence of ministry, your words must be in accordance with My will and purposes at "all" times.

+       All traditions and false doctrines were instituted by Satan, through his schemes, in order to keep men in a place of subjection to himself; and through these schemes and the institution of traditions in the church, he deceived men into believing that they had an outlet through "good works" to ease their guilty conscience. As one looks closely at the various traditions and false doctrines that infest My church at large, they will see clearly the hand of Satan. It is for this reason that - through the power of My Holy Spirit - these traditions and doctrines shall be exposed to their very root, and the selfishness of men, who have aligned themselves with Satan, shall become evident to all in this most glorious hour.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[march 23rd 2007]

+       Without the deep heart desire to obey My Word, the path of revealed knowledge is blocked. As My children bring every thought captive to My Word and the obedience of Christ, the path to revealed knowledge is opened wide - for obedience is the catalyst of light.

+       The key to My children overcoming in all things is, through their diligence, to reach the place wherein their minds have been renewed to the point that they are able to "appropriate fully" the authority which they have been given, in Christ.

+       When one appears to come up short because of the disobedience of a brother or sister, they should never complain or grumble about the fact that they were harmed. But rather they should forgive and pray for those who have harmed them, and say in their hearts, "What can I learn from this lesson that I might not fall into the same snare?"

JESUS:

+       The time wherein My Church is mocked and scorned has come to an end! For in this last hour My power shall be manifested in such a way as to dispel any doubts as to Who is Lord. Those who, in their ignorance, continue to push aside My Word in order to go their own way, shall surely "perish" [be uncovered]. For My wrath shall surely fall upon those, who, in their rebelliousness, align themselves with Satan. This is a time for those who would serve Me from a pure heart, to keep their eyes "fixed" upon Me alone, and in keeping their eyes fixed upon the things that are not perceived by the five physical senses, they shall be enabled to minister My salvation powerfully - free from the sway of any bondage to the "flesh". Those in the five-fold ministry who have refused to fellowship with Me, shall lack the power to set the captives free, and because of this My sheep will desert them as they stand in their sin, and I shall both lead them and send them to My faithful ones - and, in their "perseverance", they shall surely win the day and Satan shall indeed be trampled underneath their holy feet.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[march 24th 2007]

+       As My faithful children give in obedience [by revelation] into My true ministries, they shall receive My superabundance in this season. All things in the Kingdom must [and will] be done with a pin-point accuracy - according to My Will.

+       Obedience to My Word [a revelation of My Will carried out in the power of My Spirit from beginning to end] is the key to entering into a deep "knowledge" [revelation] of all of the spiritual principles of the Kingdom found therein.

+       The key to maintaining "righteous judgement" [discernment] in all areas of ministry is for one to be willing to do ALL of My will - at ALL times [John 7:17-18].

+       Those who would walk in the "fullness" of true ministry in this Third Day must develop the attitude of [holy] intolerance towards "all" influences - both inward and outward - that are apart from the revealed knowledge of My Word. They must remain in the secret place of My Presence and, therein, develop the "sensitivity of heart" toward Me that comes only through fellowship with Me. Then - and only then - will they be entrusted with the authority to minister the "absolute" truths of My Holy Word to others in the power of the Third Day anointing.

+       In this last hour, My children must continually do those things [in obedience to Me] - that will cause them to have a greater capacity for Me. For as they "maintain" a pure temple I shall surely pour out My life and power on all those I shall bring across their path in the glorious days ahead.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[march 25th 2007]

+       It is as My children incline their ear towards My statutes and commandments that they shall be enabled to hear the voice of My Spirit - thus enabling them to walk in perfect obedience in "all" things, and at all times.

+       It is certain that there is a spirit of darkness hovering over those who are in the world, and if My children "allow" themselves to be conformed to the world and its ways then that darkness shall have a very negative affect upon them also, and they shall surely be lead into sin and disobedience. Hence the exhortation to those in the Church at "Philadelphia", to hold fast to that which they have already received from Me [to walk in all the revealed knowledge they have continually], in order that they might continually receive more. In holding fast there surely will be a battle but the victory is already won - for I shall perfectly empower those whose hearts are toward Me, in all that they do.

+       Great fear and trepidation [feeling of alarm or dread] of those who are walking in the anointing of this Third Day shall come upon those who have been held captive by Satan to do his will and to carry out his plans [2 Timothy 2:26] - and because of this they shall in no way be able to carry those "orders" out in the days ahead.

+       As one confesses My Word and My Name [character] boldly in "every circumstance" they find themselves in, it puts into motion those aspects of the Covenant which bring about their perfect protection and continual victory through My power - and no weapon formed against them shall ever prosper.

+       In this most critical season, all those of My children who truly sense their utter need of Me shall spend the proper amount of time "ministering" unto Me - and shall reap a great harvest of love, wisdom and revelation. Those who still have a strong dependence upon their own understanding [self-sufficiency] shall forsake that quality time spent with Me in the secret place of My presence [the inner chamber], and continue to pursue their "own" goals"[self-agenda] in darkness - at great peril to themselves.

[march 26th 2007]

+       Fear not, My beloved ones, only continue on in obedience to "all" of the commands that I have given you. For once again the hearts of My people have turned towards Me, and they long to hear the deepest thoughts and intentions of My heart. I have placed My vessels in their proper position in order that I might reveal an abundance of truth to My people in this most glorious hour. Truly I say to you, the light that shines forth through My bondservants and handmaidens in this last hour shall "drive out" all fear and darkness from the hearts and minds of all those who truly desire to be free [1 John 4:18].

+       All traditions, all doctrines and all actions which are based on a thought that has proceeded forth from the "flesh" [fallen nature] must be eradicated from My church. For all of Her thoughts and words must proceed forth from the "Mind of Christ" for Her to be a "spotless and unblemished" Bride.

+       It was "total dependence" upon [faith and trust in] My Word [Will] that allowed [empowered] My precious Son to take His place on the Cross.

+       Hearing the voice of My Spirit will be perfectly clear; when "all" of the "obstructions" have been removed.

+       I have called My Church to submit themselves to My Word - and to My Word alone - for it is to My "living" Word that they are "accountable". The hopes of those who lean upon flesh and blood for the "gratification" of their soul, shall be brought to the place wherein they shall surely see the foolishness of their selfish desires. I do not desire a fixed "organization" amongst My people. I desire for them to live moment by moment, empowered by My Holy Spirit in all things - thus allowing My life to flow spontaneously from their inner man in "torrents".

[march 27th 2007]

+       I am well pleased with you, My beloved ones, and because of your continual desire to fellowship with Me above all else, you shall receive great reward in both this age and in the age to come. It is no small thing to Me when I see My handmaidens and bondservants consecrate themselves to Me, and though at times, it seems to those that are walking in the fullness of their callings, that they have not done enough, this has nothing to do with the distortion which the world presents, giving the impression that they can never do enough to satisfy. Indeed, I am greatly satisfied, for it is the pure root of love in the heart which is wholly given to Me, that continually drives them on, seeking only to please Me in all they do. They are so busy pursuing the furthering of My Kingdom, that they refuse to cast a glance upon themselves, and in this I am well pleased. Rejoice My beloved ones, for the place which I have prepared for you is ready.

+       It is obedience in the lives of My children that allows My light to flood their hearts, thus causing the seeds which have been planted within - that is, the incorruptible seed of My Word - to grow and flourish into revealed knowledge. As My children gain more and more revelation knowledge in this season it shall free them completely to go forth in My Name with great boldness - proclaiming the absolute truths [principles] of the Kingdom.

+       My children must never attempt to see themselves as others see them, but rather ALWAYS as I see them, in Christ.

+       Fear of a "critical spirit" [being criticized] causes one to have a critical spirit [to criticize].

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

[march 28th 2007]

+       Through negligence on their part, many of My children do not have a revelation within their heart of My plans and purposes for the establishment of a Glorious ["spotless and unblemished"] Church in the earth - or their perfect part in it. It is time for every one of My children to lay down any preconceived notions concerning their view of the church and its place in the earth, and begin to fellowship with Me in the "inner chamber" that they might come to know "My" heart and plans. For it will only be those things that have proceeded forth from Me that shall be found standing in this last of the last hour. Truly I say to you, I am coming to both expose and consume every last trace of the "organization of men" in the midst of My people.

+       My children must not place their hope in their past spiritual "experience", but rather they must continually exercise faith based on the Word that led them into their past successful experiences.

+       "Partial" obedience is not something that one ought to attempt - for in doing so they deny My love and they deny Me. Am I not a God of absolutes?  It is only as My children view My Word and My commandments as absolute, that they shall allow themselves to be lifted up to their true and proper position in Christ - and, thus be found walking in the fullness of their inheritance [authority].

+       In every circumstance and situation, it is not so much the "physical outcome" that is important, but rather having the knowledge [assurance] in your heart that you have been obedient to Me in "all" things. Satan will always attempt to lead My children into an area of presumption through condemnation, attempting to compel them to act out and beyond My wisdom. It is for this reason that every aspect of the walk of My children must have its source in the law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus. For from that place Satan has no ground [opportunity] to work against them with.

+       Regardless of the so-called "struggles" of My people - as they toil in My will and in My Name - there is always a deep satisfaction [divine assurance] that fills and strengthens the heart of those who walk in obedience to Me.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[march 29th 2007]

+       The greatest single cause for My children not separating themselves unto Me is their refusal to let go of EVERY "emotional attachment", and this serves only to bind and restrict them from carrying out the fullness of My will. They do not realize that a continual dependence upon that emotional attachment will eventually lead them into death and darkness - the end result being separation from the very thing or person they attached themselves to. It is a foolish thing for My children to believe that I, in any way, would hinder any one of their relationships [that I have established], but it is certain that I desire to have each and every relationship both "renewed" and sustained by the power of My Spirit. For it is only as My children have My love continually shed abroad in their hearts, that will enable them to be a pure vessel of My love to "all" those with whom they have to do.

+       Attempting to reach My children at "their" level will keep them at that level because if My "ministers" deny [hinder through compromise] My anointing as they put forth My Word they will fall short of My perfect purpose in any given situation. Therefore, to the degree that My ministers attempt to reach people on their level of understanding, they themselves will have to descend from their Heavenly position in Christ. Compromise only serves to keep the captives in captivity.

+       As their capacity is enlarged to receive the fulness of My presence, My children shall find themselves "in the Spirit" instantaneously - as they direct all of their energies towards Me. Indeed, all those who have believed that I am a rewarder of all those who seek Me, and continue to walk in that revelation, shall never be disappointed. All those who would seek Me from a whole and pure heart have My "guarantee" [the seal of My Spirit] that they shall be empowered to live every facet of their life in the "supernatural".

+       In this time of the advent of My Glorious Church many in the "world" shall begin to come and seek the answers they need to "survive" [overcome] from those who are abiding in My Wisdom [revelation].

+       My divine order within the Church shall take care of itself as those whom I have called to the five-fold ministry take their rightful places in this season - by the leading and empowerment of My Spirit.

JESUS:

+       When I expressed the question, "Will I find faith on the earth?", I was referring to that time just before the advent of My Glorious Church when "great darkness" would be present in the hearts and minds of many of My children. But behold, the night is past and the day has come. Let your light shine in its perfect radiance, and "all" who cross your path shall indeed see that there is a "force" [love, righteousness, wisdom etc.] that transcends the turmoil and the confusion and darkness which has blinded many.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[march 30th 2007]

+       It is through the revealed knowledge of My Word that I am able to bring My children to the place wherein they are willing to do "all" of My will. Therefore, as My children open their hearts to receive My Word in His fulness then their hearts shall be conformed in every way to the accomplishing of My will. Therefore, from this, one can see clearly that they must remain close to My Word; for in doing so, My light shall replace the darkness, and My faith [love] shall replace the fear.

+       I have given each one of My children the Spirit of power, not a spirit of fear; the Spirit of love not a spirit of selfishness; and the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, not a spirit of mental ascent.

+       The closer one is to the truth, the less words they will have to use to "paint the picture" in the spirits of those they minister to. For it is total reliance upon the anointing that abides within them that will allow a work of great magnitude to be accomplished in the hearts and minds of those they minister to. It is not just the words themselves which contain My power, but rather My Words "united" with the faith of those who speak them, that causes My anointing to be released. Therefore, because of this, even though two people may speak the same words, one in faith and one in dependence upon their own understanding of those words, one would release My power, the other only darkness - for My power is found only in the "Cross". Therefore, to the degree that one will depend upon [trust in] Me will determine the amount of My power that is manifested in their life. Did I not say that he who was willing to do My will would know of the teaching [John 7:17]? Go forth My beloved ones, and speak My words unashamedly, for as you believe that the words you speak shall come to pass, they shall come to pass at a continually accelerated pace - and in great power.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[march 31st 2007]

+       The only way in which Satan can hinder the obedience of My bondservants and handmaidens is to get them to partake of those things which are harmful to them - that is, harmful to their minds and bodies. Therefore as they are obedient to My Spirit in their "food intake" [both spiritually and physically], and as they bring every thought captive to perfect obedience - forsaking the lying thoughts of the Evil One at every turn - they shall truly walk above all of the schemes of Satan. The only way in which Satan would be enabled to cause hardness of heart towards Me in the innermost being of My bondservants and handmaidens, would be for them to "allow" themselves to be lured into an area wherein they are continually "saturated" with the excesses of the world. Therefore, as My children guard their hearts with all diligence, they will come to view all things which would only serve to remove them from the "high life" as poison, and because of this Satan's schemes against them shall be stopped before they even begin [Isaiah 54:17].

+       It is those who love My wisdom who shall have My power manifested greatly in their lives in this hour. For in loving My wisdom above all else, they shall transcend the darkness of this evil world, for once one has truly "seen" the Wisdom that created this universe, that Wisdom shall indeed be the only thing that will truly satisfy their heart. As the multitudes begin to consecrate themselves unto Me, My knowledge and wisdom shall flow into the earth as never before, and "true authority" shall be established throughout the earth, pushing aside the darkened wisdom and knowledge of Satan in the midst of My people. It shall not take long once the peoples of the nations begin to realize that the life and the answers they need are found only in My Word.

+       It is not the unbelief in others that causes My children to be worn down spiritually [althought that most certainly is a factor]. It is the unbelief that is allowed to remain within themselves that causes the eyes of their spirit to dim and the ears of their spirit to cease hearing - thus impairing seriously their ability to judge righteously in all things.
