EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[MAY 1ST 2007]

+ All of the answers to the prayers of My children concerning believing me for "finances" [and the meeting of "specific needs"] are dependent upon a perfect obedience on their behalf. This is in NO WAY a call to "earn" the blessing. It is simply a call to each one of My children to position themselves perfectly [both spiritually and physically] in order that they might continually access exactly what is needed from their heavenly account in any given moment and situation. For truly I say to you, all those who have called upon Me from their heart already have obtained their precious inheritance in Christ. It is now simply a matter of accessing the fullness of it through the exercising of an absolute faith - working through a perfect love - and manifesting in a perfect obedience. For as they go forth abiding in perfect obedience day to day I shall not be hindered from bestowing upon them a superabundance of wealth and riches - revelation, finances and all else that pertains to life and godliness in the carrying out of My highest purposes.

+ As one continually casts their "bread" upon the water, and as they continue to sow bountifully [love, truth-revelation, finances etc.] in accordance with My Word and the voice of My Spirit, they shall reap a great harvest in this season. And in the midst of this time of great blessing I will make My faithful ones great signs and wonders, and all shall begin to see clearly in this hour that apart from a deep desire to abide in perfect obedience - and doing "nothing" apart from my Word and the unction of my Spirit - the "cycle of Divine prosperity" [the supernatural ability to meet the deepest need of those who cross one's path] shall break down. Listen closely! I have such tremendous blessings planned for all those who are faithful to Me in every area of life, that My faithful ones shall see clearly the necessity of ministering first unto Me in prayer and communion [intimate fellowship]. First to receive, then to "appreciate", and then to "disperse and scatter" fully the superabundant blessing which they in no way themselves could ever contain, or use properly in their own strength [wisdom].

JESUS:

        Soon is the time of My return, and I have much "work" to do in a short time. Hold fast My beloved ones! Focus yourselves upon Me [the Word of God] that you might not "miss" the abundance [John 10:10] that I have planned for you. For I desire each and every one of you to experience the fulness of My blessing each day, and as you diligently carry out My commands, your daily obedience will cause a "snowball effect", and this walking from obedience to obedience shall cause you to rise up to "demolish" the strongholds of the Evil One, and you shall indeed be the "shining light" set in the midst of the former darkness!

+ To the degree that one "spends" according to the gratification of their "flesh", it is to that degree that they "eat" their "seed" [Psalm 62:10b].

+ A "poor" man spiritually is one who has a "distinct"  lack of revealed knowledge; a poor man "soulically" [mind,  will, emotions] is one who fails to bring "every" thought  captive to a perfect obedience; a poor man physically [materially] is one who  has, in some way, been ravaged by a spirit of poverty.

+ Many times My children hear My voice only up until the point that meets "their" approval in carrying out the "imaginations" of their own mind [self-agenda]. Once one of My children has appropriated a revelation of My will concerning anything it is their responsibility to abide continuously in My presence and in My Word until the "fulness" of My purpose and plan concerning them - and that which was revealed to them - is completed. For it is in this perfect completion that I am glorified to the greatest degree.

[MAY 3rd 2007]

+ It is time that all of My children realize that to condemn, to criticize, or to judge unrighteously makes one nothing more and nothing less than "vessels of evil" - always tearing down and never "building up"; always exalting themselves and never exalting the name of Jesus; always seeking the praises of men instead of My glory.

+ All "fear of failure" manifests itself in the mistrust of Me.

+ As one seeks first to abide in fellowship with Me [and My Word], desiring only to love and obey at all times, then "at all times" the Kingdom shall be established to the greatest degree; the Church shall be edified continually to the greatest degree, and the "greatest eternal benefit" shall be experienced by all those who "cross the path" of the one truly loving Me from a heart "wholly given".

[MAY 4th 2007]

+ Heart-fellowship with the world is fellowship [to the same degree] with the law of sin and death.

+ For My children to hover between perfect obedience and carnality only breeds great trouble for them at the hands of the Evil One. It is time for all those who truly love Me to enter into the place of abiding in the secret place of My presence. For in this place of ministering unto Me, My faithful ones shall come to know Me in ways they never thought possible this side of Heaven itself. Great are the rewards that I have in this season and hour for those who have truly forsaken all to "know" My heart and will.

+ Acting in "perfect obedience" [on a revelation of My Will, and by the empowerment of My Spirit alone] ALWAYS leads one to a deeper understanding of the "fullness" of My purposes and plans, through My Church, in the earth - and also a deeper understanding, in "due time", of My perfect purpose behind the "action" [obedience] called for - in any given moment. Rest assured that one - in their exercising of faith and obedience - shall ALWAYS know exactly what they need to know in any given situation.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[MAY 5th 2007]

+ One of the greatest tendencies of the "old man" [ones own natural strength and understanding] is to lay out a "path" for the one who is seeking to walk in perfect obedience [holiness] that "fulfils not the desires of the flesh" [asceticism: one who leads a very austere and self-denying life in the power of the soul] - in an "attempt" to walk by My Spirit. From this one can clearly see the futility of such fleshly action for is it not written, "Walk by My Spirit and THEN you will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh?"

"Good intentions" have nothing to do with walking in a perfect obedience. For to walk in perfect obedience one must first "hear" - that is, receive a revelation of My Word [Will] concerning whatsoever thing I desire of them - and then having heard the Word, they must then "act" in accordance with the voice [and by the unction of] the Holy Spirit.

There are indeed many of My children who hear the Word but who - through the "wearing-down tactics" of the Evil One [that they have allowed to effectively work against them] fail to hear the voice of My Spirit calling them to "specific actions". The direct result of this is a "self-delusion" which assures them that they are performing "acceptable" service in My sight while, in reality, Satan is able to keep them in a place [passivity] wherein they can do him no "serious" harm [Matthew 7:21-27].

Truly I say to you, this last hour is an "hour of action" for My beloved bondservants and handmaidens. And as all those who truly love Me begin to walk "by My Spirit they shall surely be found abiding in a perfect obedience - and they shall go forth in great power. From all of these things one can see clearly the provision I have made for the resurrection and ascension [entrance into the fullness of Her authority] of My true Church in the earth - a Church filled and consumed to overflowing with My glory!

[MAY 6th 2007]

+ There is a "power structure" in the midst of many of My people that needs to be "brought down"! For as long as there is even one in "leadership" in My church who "pridefully" exalts themselves above My Word and the voice of My Spirit, those who are in bondage shall remain in bondage! But truly I say to you, as I send forth My holy apostles and prophets, all positions of "authority" and "power structures" built on the understanding of men, apart from a revelation received from My Spirit, shall be consumed by holy fire. And then shall My "sent ones" be "free" to minister My uncompromised Word in this last hour. For it is only as My uncompromised Word goes forth in "His absoluteness" that the "multitudes" of My people shall come into the "fullness" of their inheritance in Him [Christ], and thus shall the "spotless and unblemished" Church become a reality "in the earth" - Satan and his forces having been forced to "exit" by the "entrance" of the "fullness" of My Spirit dwelling in the midst of My people.

+ For a born-again, Spirit-filled child of Mine the ultimate act of rebellion is to step out into "presumptuous activity" - apart from My Word and the unction of My Spirit.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[MAY 7th 2007]

+ The cycle of "perfect obedience" [faith - love - obedience] is related directly to "food intake" [spiritually and physically]. And not only "food intake" but the intake of all things. This is precisely why it is written, "Take heed what you hear," and "Let not the light that is in you be darkness".

As My children constantly feed on My Word THEN their spirit man shall become stronger and stronger - thereby eliminating the "strength" [power] of the flesh. Up until this time, many of My children have had no clear revelation of these things, and thus they have "allowed" themselves to be "held captive" in a "cycle of disobedience" [fear - selfishness - disobedience] and the bondage that it brings.

Truly I say to you, in this last hour, as I send forth My holy apostles and prophets, all those of My children who truly desire to break free from the snares [bondages] of the Evil One shall do so, and a "remnant" shall rise up in the midst of My people - holy ones, who are "possessed" by My Spirit! And no more shall those who call themselves "Christians" be "able" to make any provision for the flesh in the midst of the congregation of My True Church. And although these things that I speak of are impossible with men, truly I say to you, they are possible with Me! For I have made the "Provision" for each and every child of mine to "rise above" the dregs of this world and the bondage of sin in the flesh. But one thing is certain: on their behalf they must "seek" to obey Me in all things - in every aspect of their lives.

From this point forth all those of My children who "maintain" any fleshly dependency shall find quickly that they have no defense against the Evil One and his forces, and unless they are at "least" willing to be made willing to do all of My will for their lives, they shall be attacked freely and openly by Satan and the hosts of darkness - through the open door that they, themselves, have opened [Hosea 8:1-3; Hosea 4:6a;].

[MAY 8th 2007]

+ I desire My children to see themselves  "always" as being in Christ - for this is the "position" that always gives "Us" the greatest of pleasure and satisfaction. My children need never fear "neglecting" in some way, My dear Son as the continually seek My face - for it is only in abiding in Him that any of My children are able to draw near to Me, and fellowship with Me in My presence.

+ Many of My children are "playing a dangerous game"!  They continue on in their sin "knowing" that I will forgive them. Yet, because of their hardness of heart they have stopped asking for forgiveness, and thus they "unknowingly" have stepped outside the "Covenants of promise and protection"! There is only one way  - and one way only - for My children to remain in that place wherein the Evil One "touches them not" [1 John 5:18], and that is to guard their heart with all diligence through a continued fellowship with Me [and My Word].

+ Apart from the exercising of an "absolute faith" one can do nothing but hinder the flow of My power and, in some way, "underestimate" My unlimited ability to set the captives free.

*****

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[MAY 9th 2007]

+ If any one of My children truly desire to receive all that I have for them then they will have to "systematically" lay down every "idol" in their lives.

"systematic" - organized; a series of orderly actions [actions ordered by the Holy Spirit];

+ The "closer" one is to the "truth" in the various congregations of My people - and yet they [both the leadership and the congregation] continue to walk apart from a "spirit of perfect obedience" and a "spirit of consecration" - the more danger there is of falling short of My "entire counsel" [absolute truth]. For indeed there are some who "feel" they have already "arrived" [Philippians 3:12-16] - and thus they leave the door open for darkness to "remain".

+ "The "inward action" of My bondservants and handmaidens is the prerequisite to "any" outward action that is righteous and blameless in My sight.
As My bondservants and handmaidens abide in a perfect obedience I am using that precious obedience to "continually" minister to My people. All those who "lust after" the "outward" actions of ministry before placing themselves in an intimate and close fellowship and communion with Me are doomed to failure and defeat and great dissatisfaction! For at any given moment one is either seeking to please Me - and thus obtaining the "lavish rewards" of true service - or they are seeking to please "flesh and blood", and thus are seeking after "vainglory", and the "emptiness" it conceals.

[MAY 10th 2007]

+ The methods of the world are  not going to "prevent", or  deliver My people from sickness and disease [mental or physical or spiritual] in this final hour. If any one of My children maintain a dependency on "anything" that is apart from My Word then the Evil One will surely use that "ground" to attack them openly - for their faith and trust shall be found to be in that which does not have its origin in Me. There is no true "salvation" [Gk: soeteria - deliverance from every temporal evil] apart from Jesus Christ!

+ That which has been "acceptable" in the eyes of many of My children is about to become "unacceptable" - as My Spirit is poured forth in His fullness [the former and latter rains] in this season.

+ "Procrastination" is designed by the Evil One to keep My children in a place of "passivity". For in this place of passivity [fear] there may be those who "intend" to serve Me, but because of an "unclear conscience" - which is the result of their inability to act on, and fully measure My Word - they are left in a position of continual weakness, and thus they lack the necessary strength to resist the Evil One continually - a continual resistance which is necessary if one is going to carry out the fullness of My will for their life and ministry.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[MAY 11th 2007]

+ There is not one thing that can come upon My children as a result of their perfect obedience that is "worse" [although it may seem uncomfortable to the flesh for a time] than "any" circumstance in the life of one of My children that is there as a result of "passivity" or "presumption". For in the former [perfect obedience] I am in "complete' control, and thus I am "able" to order every step of their way; but in the latter [passivity or presumption], although one may seem content for a time, and although they may deem their way "right" before Me and before men, its end is the way of death and darkness.

+ Every child of Mine must have "any" ground  removed from within them that causes them to reach out and "blame" others for that which is, in reality, a product of their own "transgression" against Me.

+ The principle [law] of "Resurrection" power supercedes the law of "gravity".

*****

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[MAY 12th 2007]

+ All unrighteousness is always "directed" towards the destruction of My purposes and plans. All righteousness is always directed towards the complete devastation and ultimate annihilation of Satan's purposes and plans.

+ The greatest danger for My children in this earth arises when they "allow" themselves to come to a position wherein a "spirit of delusion" is able to blind their spiritual eyes. And, thus, and as they are held captive by Satan to do "his will", they are totally blinded to the fact that they are apart from My perfect will for their lives. But truly I say to you, as I send forth My holy apostles and prophets, the light and the consuming fire of My Spirit, that emanates forth from them continually, shall do great destruction to Satan's plans in the midst of My people. And through this fiery Judgement all those children of Mine whose hearts are truly towards Me [but who have been held captive] shall be set free, and all those who in spite of the absolute truth set before them, retain the unholy desire to exalt themselves, shall become immersed in an even greater darkness than before, and "death" shall remain master over them in their rebellion.

For these are the days of My "final judgements" in the midst of My people, and in this time "all" corruption and darkness and fear shall be removed from the midst of the congregations of those who truly love Me, and from the ashes of this "fiery" judgement shall My true Church be established throughout the earth and My spotless and unblemished Bride shall stand before Me in all Her glory - and the peoples of the earth shall know beyond a shadow of a doubt that all that My beloved ones carry out, is of Me, and they shall see My power poured forth to a degree that even My own children never thought possible! Always remember, My beloved ones, that the chief characteristic of these final hours shall be the manifestation of My all-consuming power and My never-failing love for all mankind.

[MAY 13th 2007]

+ The "answer of the mind" [which is devoid of revelation - divine light] seems like the next best thing to My perfect will, but in reality it is at the exact opposite end of the spectrum, and is the Devils ploy [maneuver] to keep one walking in the power of their "own" understanding - apart from My Will.

+ One should certainly not be trying [seeking] to "justify" any sinful action in their lives. But just as importantly they should maintain no desire to justify [in their own strength] any righteous action. For if anyone seeks to justify themselves in any way - at any time - then it is "self" that they seek to exalt and not My Word.

+ To the degree that one of My children makes a provision for the "flesh" [Romans 13:14], it is to that degree that they shall "fail" to accomplish that which they have set their hand to.

+ The power of true prayer supercedes the "power" of Satan [darkness and bondage]!

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[MAY 14th 2007]

+ The deceitful "heart" of the flesh will always sow to the flesh. The undefiled and pure heart will always sow to the Spirit. The one who keeps themselves cleansed from all defilement of the flesh and spirit shall always be found sowing to the Spirit in every aspect of their life and ministry. The one who fails to guard their heart with "all" diligence will always "sow" to the flesh in the moment of temptation and pressure. From these things one can clearly see the need to be "cleansed" continually for it is in this way alone that the love walk is able to be maintained, and it is also only in this way that the "righteousness-consciousness" can remain "predominant" over the "sin-consciousness" in the lives of My children.

+ Perfect obedience is the root from which "all" righteousness flows.

+ Words spoken or written without corresponding action in faith and love are futile in the building up of My Church and the furthering of the Kingdom.

+ Feel what you feel but speak only that which you believe.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[MAY 15th 2007]

+ The reason that there is so much chaos, strife and division in the midst of My people is because - for the most part -My children fail to guard their heart with all diligence, and thus their spirit-man is not kept in a position of continued" dominance over their soul and their body. It is their failure to bring every thought captive to a perfect obedience [a revelation of My Will] that continually leads them into [and holds them in] bondage to Satan and his schemes. Let it be clearly understood that now is the time to move forward in faith - from glory to glory and obedience to obedience. Now is the time to put aside "all" that would hinder My beloved ones from walking in the fullness of the ministry that I have called them to. It is time to forsake the "drowsiness" that has afflicted not only the multitudes but also many of those I have called to lead them into the "fullness" of their inheritance. I command all those who would truly love Me to abhor and forsake all "remaining" love of the world [1 John 2:15-17]! For it is only then that we can move forward as One and destroy "all" the works of the Devil in the lives of those who are truly "seeking" to be set free.

+ It is the time for all those who would serve Me and walk in the fullness of their inheritance in Christ to "fix" their eyes and their ears upon My Word. For it is only in this way that they can remain cleansed from all defilement of flesh and spirit. And it is only in this way that they can handle the degree of glory that shall soon be manifested in the earth. For truly I say to you, the power of My presence shall "set afire" the schemes of the Evil One in the lives of the captives. And like the wood, the hay and the stubble the schemes of the Evil One shall be ashes under the feet of My beloved bondservants and handmaidens. For truly I say to you, not one of the prayers of My intercessors shall remain unanswered. But rather, I shall exact My holy vengeance upon Satan and His forces, and a great many captives shall be set free - and not only free to live again but free to serve Me, and thus fulfil My highest will and purpose for their life and ministry.

[MAY 16th 2007]

+ If My children do not put themselves in the position to gain a continually deeper revelation of the fact that there is no good in them - no, not in the flesh [Romans 7:18] - then they shall, to a degree, maintain a grip on the reins of their life and ministry. For without the "full" realization that even those things which they deem "good", but yet have their source in the flesh, are in no way pleasing to Me, and are unacceptable in My sight - they shall continue to "unknowingly" be used by Satan to "misrepresent" Me. For the source of their "ungodly" action is a pride that exalts only self and, therefore, deems itself and its actions "righteous". Truly I say to you, even though one's intentions are "good" only those things that have their source in My Word and My Spirit are found pleasing in My sight.

+ The principle of "received blessing": to experience the "fullness" of a received blessing [from Me] one must continue to abide in a perfect obedience - in order the the fullness of My purpose through that blessing might continue to unfold - perfectly.

+ It is only to the degree that one has a "revelation" of My [Loves] heart and character that one can be found "walking" in love.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[MAY 17th 2007]

+ Selfishness is always a "bad" thing, never a "good" [righteous] thing. Selfishness is never "profitable", but always unprofitable not only to oneself but also to "all" those who "cross their path.

+ There are three stages in the life of "self". Those who participate in the first stage live their lives totally for themselves. They may - for a brief moment - turn their attention to Me because - by My mercy and grace - they receive a revelation of their need for an "eternal" salvation, and thus they are born-again. But they immediately return to the way of "selfishness" - even though now they begin to abide in a "form of godliness".

In the next stage there are those who - to a degree -  have come to a realization that selfishness is not "always" profitable, but they have "allowed" themselves to be deluded into believing that their selfishness harms only themselves. The true motivation of all selfishness is to "exalt" self and look out solely for one's own "best interests". Thus, all those who act selfishly render themselves incapable of doing anything but "harm" to both themselves - and to all those who "cross their path".

Then there are those who have truly humbled themselves before Me from the position of a heart "wholly" given and, thus, they have received deep within their spirit a revelation of the fact that there is "no good" [righteousness] in the flesh [Romans 7:18] and that the flesh indeed profits nothing at all [John 6:63], and thus they go forth abiding in a deep reverence for My Word [Will],and they remain extremely sensitive to the "unction" of My Spirit. This last group has come to the "full" realization that perfect obedience equals perfect [living] intercession and love, and that perfect [living] intercession and love ultimately manifests [through the fire [light] being poured forth through them] in many captives being set free to enter into the fullness of their destiny in Christ.

[may 18th 2007]

+ All self-righteousness is unrighteousness.

+ The passage of scripture found in Matthew 10:34-39 refers to the fact that I require all those who would serve Me to be in "agreement" with Me, and not with flesh and blood. For one to set themselves in agreement with flesh and blood is to set themselves at enmity with My will. For not only their ministry but also for the very relationships that they cling to with a "fleshly" affection. As one sets themselves in perfect agreement with Me - regardless of their "physical circumstances" [family relationships] they will have the assurance that as they abide in perfect obedience their words and actions shall continually reap the greatest eternal benefit in the lives of all those with whom they have to do - regardless of whether they are accepted initially or not.

+ Selfishness is "also" no respecter of persons, for selfishness seeks only its own end. Therefore, one is either walking in love or walking in selfishness in any given moment -  regardless of how "good" or how bad the word or action may seem.

+ When My Anointing is released through My servants it will "always" provoke one to "action". That action shall either be towards a perfect obedience to My will or, ultimately, total rebellion against it.

[may 19th 2007]

+ As My holy apostles and prophets [bondservants and handmaidens] preach My Word in the "fullness" of conviction in this hour the anointing on the words they speak shall "lift up" all those in the midst of the congregation who truly desire to walk in the fullness of the ministry [destiny] that I have created them for - and it shall take them through the "final barriers" that have held them back up until this time. And thus shall they, too, become "glorious leaders", and they shall go forth throughout the land in the power of My Spirit and help lead My children into the "fullness" of their precious inheritance in Christ.

+ To the degree that one loves "self" it is to that degree that they hate Me.

+ My children should not be "looking" at anyone else but Jesus [My Word]. For if they do fix their eyes on the "foibles" of those who cross their path they shall surely be found to be not walking in love for they shall surely be controlled by a "spirit of self-exaltation", and thus they shall be of no benefit whatsoever to the "captives".

"foible" - a personal weakness or failing;

[may 20th 2007]

+ If any one of My children "allow" themselves to be controlled in any way by a spirit of self-sufficiency, then it is certain that they "must" lean on their own understanding. For the source of all desire to be self-sufficient is rooted and grounded in the "love of money" and the seeking after the things that the world has to offer - things that gratify the flesh. Whereas the source of all those who desire to abide only in My All-Sufficiency is rooted and grounded in their love for Me, and their only aim is to be edified in their spirit man. From these things you can clearly see that for one to continually keep their spirit man in dominance over their soul and body they must come to the place where they are abiding in My All-Sufficiency.

+ Love has no part with "coveteousness".

+ There is no power in "natural" courage that can overcome the "law of sin and death".

+ Many of My children have mentally ascended to how My glory is manifested and, thus, they limit Me. For "mental ascension" of any kind will always fall short of the fulness of the manifestation of My glory that I desire in any given situation.

[may 21st 2007]

+ There shall be a series of "final judgements" realized as I send My holy apostles and prophets forth to minister to My children - both individually and corporately. Truly I say to you, the failure to acknowledge the words that I minister through My holy apostles and prophets shall result in those who refuse to hear, "perishing" [become uncovered as strangers to the covenants of promise] - and continuing to perish - because of their failure to receive the "knowledge" that, if acted upon in perfect obedience, would surely cause them to rise above "any" and "all" schemes of the Evil One against them. For is it not written, "My people perish for lack of knowledge?" How then can those who have hardened their hearts against Me, and who refuse to hear that which I have to say to them, escape the Destroyer?

+ This is the end of the end times, and truly I say to you "time" has run out on the rebellious and hard-hearted attitudes of many in the midst of the congregation Remember the story of Korah's rebellion [Numbers 15:37-16:50]. So let all those of My children who have up until now refused to deny their "self-life" - thus allowing themselves to be deceived by the Evil One - turn to Me with hearts wholly given for truly I say to you, this is the "only" way that they will ever come into the proper position that I have set out for them in My Church and Kingdom.

+ To the degree that My children hold on to the "things" that are a result of their own desire to be self-sufficient, then to that degree they "block" the superabundant provision that I have made for them in to walk in the "fullness" of the ministry I have called them to.

+ As my children enter into the fullness of their Kingdom-position in this most glorious hour, time shall be consumed by "timelessness".

+ Operating in anything apart from divine love [absolute faith - perfect obedience] will be "dangerous" for My children in this last hour.

+ My children cannot please "themselves" - and Me - at the same time. For it is certain that there is no faith or love or obedience in any form of "self-indulgence".

+ I do not "over-equip" [or under-equip] My children. Truly I say to you, everything that I have provided for them in Christ they must use diligently [wisely] to fulfil the ministry that I have created them for in this last hour.

+ Pride blinds! It is the anointing that brings clarity.

+ The "fullness" My blessing is found in the path of perfect obedience.

+ Lust [self-desire] precludes all true relationship - first with Me, and then with all others

+ In this season I shall make many ministries of this Third Day [both individual and corporate] "sovereignly" wealthy in the realm of Kingdom finances, and they shall go forth and carry out My perfect purpose and highest will - devoid of the entanglements and hindrances of the religious mind-sets and mental ascensions to My true [divine] prosperity that became rampant in the "second day" - through coveteousness and unbelief. For - up until this time - religious bondage and the love of money have kept My church in relative poverty compared to that which I have truly ordained for her. Let it be clearly understood that the Kingdom finances I speak of are a powerful and perfect extension of the authority of My Dear Son, and in this final hour those of My children who will "abide" in My wisdom [Isaiah 23:18] shall surely use all that which I bless them with to turn Satan's world [schemes and strongholds] upside down - and many captives shall be set free from financial bondage - and every other bondage that has plagued them. For the "gospel of the Kingdom" shall go forth unhindered through the unlimited finances that shall come into the hands of My faithful ones, and I shall make them great "signs and wonders" in the midst of the nations - and, because of these things, the absolute truths of My Word shall become clearly evident throughout the earth to all those whose hearts are "toward" Me [the One True God].

"sovereignly" - exercising or possessing supreme authority or juristiction; independent, and free from external authority or influence;

+ Prosperity ruins the fool and the fool will ruin prosperity [My blessings].

+ Finances and family are two areas where My children are "prone" to lean upon their own understanding.

+ All ground for a self-exaltive spirit to work through is rooted in one's lack of knowledge of who they are in Christ Jesus - and who He is in them.

+ It is time for a great light [My Glorious Church] to shine forth across the nations [Isaiah 60:1-3].

+ True ministry cannot fail because true ministry is motivated solely by perfect love - and love never fails to accomplish My perfect purpose in any given moment.

+ I have made no provision for My children to speak or act outside of "revealed" knowledge - in the establishing of My Kingdom.

+ If My children do not "maintain diligently" a revelation of the importance of the "inner chamber" [time spent in fellowship with Me], then they shall surely fail to receive the needed revelation  of My will or, at best,  having gained a revelation of My will - they will then proceed forth in their own understanding.

+ My holy apostles and prophets are not set in the positions I have set them in to be "popular" [people-pleasers]. They are there to be "effective" in helping lead those who truly love Me into the fullness of their inheritance - and Kingdom-position.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[may 26th 2007]

+ Many who are now in positions of authority in My church are too "rigid and stern", and the reason they are this way is because they have, to a degree, "maintained" fear in their lives - and the reason that they still have "ground for fear" to work through in their lives is because their hearts are not yet wholly given to Me. It is this "ground of fear" that causes them to fear making mistakes [and being "criticized" by flesh and blood] - which they surely will! It is also this "ground of fear" that "maintains" a "sin-consciousness" - and continually drives them with a "dogged determination" [compulsion] to "correct" all those who do not conform to their "imperfect" views [in many cases, false doctrine].

+ When all those who are called to this last wave of Kingdom service and ministry experience the New Birth and are filled with the Holy Spirit [the Baptism of holy fire] they will surely need "schools" [true spiritual environments] provided for them wherein they shall be "immersed" in My anointed Word for a time. As the "harvest"  begins to accelerate in this season I shall surely move powerfully in the establishment of the aforementioned true spiritual environments, and I shall release the necessary Kingdom-finances to establish every good and perfect [righteous] work - and truly I say to you, My Glory shall abide in their midst.

+ As My children diligently keep their spirit man in dominance over their soul and body, quite simply, they just will not have any desire to do anything that "gratifies" the soul - in a spirit of self-indulgence.

+ Many of My children have not yet even begun to comprehend the power and the effectiveness of the Anointing that abides within them - but they shall.

[may 27th 2007]

+ If one's attitude towards "any" problem or difficult situation [trouble] is wrong then that wrong attitude will only "perpetuate" the problem! Thus, the true root of the "problem" is their "bad attitude" [their failure to abide (walk) in love]. For if one will make the quality decision to walk in love - even in the face of great provocation - then they shall surely rise above the storm, and My peace will flood their heart and mind.

+ There is a severe price to pay in this last hour for one's alignment with the "lies" of the Evil One.

+ I have called My holy apostles and prophets to be vessels of My Spirit of judgement and burning.

JESUS:

+ It is an inherent tendency of the flesh to "ordain" leaders which "they" then set their eyes upon in "worship", rather than fix their eyes upon Me. It is most important for every member of My Body to abide in "intimate fellowship" with Me [the Word], and thus keep their hearts in tune with all that I desire to accomplish through them - free from the various spirits of idolatry whose main goal is to cause wrong "focus" [allegiance or dependence] in the course of one's spiritual walk.

+ When My children truly desire to "know" what I think about a situation more than what they themselves "think", then they shall surely gain the needed revelation.

+ There are many of My children who "believe" that they are walking in faith. But truly I say to you, faith works by [is motivated by] love, and if one is not abiding in perfect love then they are by no means walking in divine faith, but rather by a "natural" faith - a faith in their own abilities and intellect.

+ Many of My children act like they are an "impoverished race" when, in reality, they are the most blessed and prosperous people on the face of this earth - without exception.

+ When one truly desires "all" that I have for them in Christ [and the fullness of their true Kingdom-position] THEN they shall surely have it.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[may 29th 2007]

+ Satan is the biggest fool of them all! A fool then [in its root definition] is simply someone who sets themselves in agreement with his lies!

+ Divine order [perfect obedience] precedes divine prosperity - and divine order [perfect obedience] "maintains" the flow of My divine prosperity in one’s life and ministry.

+ "Fleshly" thought may seem to start out with its "good intentions" for the establishment of My Church and Kingdom, but it is only capable of effecting the schemes of the Evil One to hinder My true work. For every action and word of the flesh is rooted in fear and selfishness [and the seeking after self-glory], and it is through this ground that Satan is enabled to first "control" the vessel and then continually use them until his schemes are brought to the point of physical manifestation.

+ If I gave many of My children a "physical" sword and told them to go forth and "clean up" the church they would surely slaughter everything in "sight" that did not conform to their "own" imperfect views. This is exactly what many of My children have done with the "sword of the Spirit" - they have spoken the "truth", but not in love [or accuracy], and thus they have caused division and strife in the midst of the congregations. And unless they "soon" repent they shall surely bring My wrath down upon themselves - for I shall indeed judge all in this hour that serves only to lead My precious children astray.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

[may 30th 2007]

+ There is a "spirit" behind all that My children do and it will either be rooted in the Spirit of love or the spirit of fear - from which all "selfish" and "prideful" activity has its source.

+ To desire to walk in love towards "some" but not others allows the "leaven of hatred" to eventually consume the thoughts and inclinations of one's heart. And, thus, even though their original "intention" was to walk in love, by "maintaining" hatred, soon they will be completely out of the love-walk and completely out of My will for their lives - for there is no such thing as "hatred" in the way of the Kingdom.

+ One can be assured that they shall not experience the manifestation of "the sound mind" [2 Timothy 1:7] if they continue to meditated on the fear-filled thoughts and lies of the Evil One.

+ There is no such thing as a "superabundance" of perfect obedience - for perfect obedience is perfect obedience. But truly I say to you, there is a "divine" superabundance that is the continued and direct result of that perfect obedience.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[may 31st 2007]

+ As those who truly love Me go forth in the "fullness" of the authority that is theirs in Christ in this hour there shall be no "hesitancy" on their part to carry out the true works of the Kingdom. For I shall surely empower them, through My Word and the Anointing that abides within them [gifts of the Spirit] and, truly I say to you, My people [and the world] shall see My absolute authority manifested, and all those who will receive Me [My servants] shall experience a "complete deliverance" from whatever has held them in bondage - up until this time.

+ Satan and his forces continually attempt to "jam" the thought-patterns of those who are truly seeking to do all of My will for their lives. And thus, it is extremely important for each and every one of My children to bring every thought captive to a perfect obedience [revelation of My Will]. For it is only in this way that they shall continually gain the true discernment needed to remain on the correct path for their lives and ministries.

+ If My children remain content with any physical manifestation or circumstance in their lives that is a result of sin and fear, then - through their unbelief and mistrust - they shall surely "perpetuate" a cycle of defeat in their lives. As those who have "held part back" give My Word pre-eminence in this season then they shall experience a "restlessness" [dissatisfaction] that shall cause them to incline their heart wholly towards Me, and I shall surely cause them to "break out" of any negative cycle and into a cycle of divine prosperity.

+ Unforgiveness is the most dangerous form of "leaven" to the spiritual walk that exists.
