EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[october 1st 2007]


+ The "signs" sought for by those of My children who continue to adhere to their five physical senses as their guide will never be found. The truth that they say they are seeking cannot be found by them because of the unrighteous motivation of their heart and, thus, they allow themselves to spiral off into the confusion and darkness that awaits those who seek to lean [rely] upon their "own" understanding [through the pursuit of self-desire and self-agenda]. Many seek to judge those whom I have sent, with a false [unrighteous] judgement. They rely on the circumstances that surround them in trying to discern the credibility of My servants, the holy apostles and prophets, in their own mind and, truly I say to you, because of these things, I shall "allow" a "deluding influence" to come upon them because of the hardness of their hearts, and they shall scornfully disdain [reproach] My true servants and, thus, they shall separate themselves from their only route of escape from the vile snares which the Evil One has formulated against them. But blessed are those who receive My servants, the holy apostles and prophets, in My name, for they shall receive a reward from Me [Matthew 10:40-42]! As My children seek to discern from the pureness of their heart whether one is sent by Me or not I shall open their eyes wide, and they shall be given understanding to discern the one "I" have sent to them.

+ If My children were obedient to My command to keep their eyes "fixed" on My Word, they would be able to discern "all things" accurately because they would know what I had said and thought in My Word, about the circumstances they find themselves in. In this last hour anything less than full obedience to the command to put My Word first, will cause My children to suffer loss in some way [Hosea 4:6a]. For the Evil One preys upon those of My children who "choose" to remain outside the covenants of promise [Ephesians 2:12-13], and thus neglect the wondrous salvation I have provided for them in My Word.

[october 2nd 2007]


+ Many of My children are held captive by their "inordinate affections". They seek, first and foremost, the gratification of their own soul and, thus, they seek to have "their" needs [which in reality are selfish desires] met through partaking of the "things below" rather than "maintaining" godly desire and partaking of the "things above". This is both a serious and dangerous situation for any one of My children to place themselves in. For in this last hour it is only faith in My Word and obedience to the voice of My Spirit that shall enable them to remain in a place where the Evil One "touches them not" [1 John 5:18-19].

+ All those of My children who are still searching for a good "feeling" shall always have, as the "direct result" of their "seeking", a "counterfeit consecration". How can one who "allows" themselves to be subject [submitted] to a "feeling" be wholly submitted to Me? And while, outwardly, it may "appear" that the things that they do  and say are in line with a seeking after holiness, in reality, their words and actions betray a heart that is not "wholly" given to Me - a heart that, to some degree, still seeks after its "own" desires.

+ The exercising of fear on the part of My children serves only as an indication of a lack of love "shed abroad" in their heart, and a "belief" within them that in some way they are capable of carrying out My will in their own strength. If My children have truly "cast their care" upon Me in any given situation then they will have no fear. In other words, they will exercise no "faith" in a lie. The "deeper" one abides in My Word the clearer the revelation they will have of the fact that they "themselves" are "incapable" of carrying out My will [Romans 7:18; John 6:63].

+ Failure to "abide" in My Word in this final hour will most surely mean failure to succeed! There are many who have termed their ministry a success, but their idea of success is not based solely on the fulfilment of My will, but on the fulfilment of their "preconceived notion" of My will. For if they had a "burning vision" of My purposes and plans - kept alive by a continual guarding of their hearts with "all diligence", and a forsaking of all that serves only to remove them from the "high life" [zoe] - they would never have come to a place of "comfort" [thinking they had "arrived] wherein they selfishly set their heart on the "increase" of My blessing rather than pressing on in My perfect will, oblivious to Satan's attempts to hinder or stop them from fulfilling all that "I" called them to.

+ For all those who would "maintain" a sin-consciousness" it shall continually seem impossible for them to remain in the place of "abiding" in perfect obedience and indeed, on that plane [level], it is. But truly I say to you, all things are possible with Me, and as one pursues a "righteousness-consciousness" with all of their heart [2 Corinthians 5:21] they will soon gain the necessary revelation that will sustain them on the narrow path of perfect obedience - day in and day out.

+ My children must never take a "thought" for their circumstances, but rather bring every thought captive to a perfect obedience [a revelation of My Will - Word].

+ The sole reason that one still "sees" manifestations of the "curse" in the midst of My people is because - through their own self-reliance - they have hindered, to various degrees, My "absolute power" from being manifested continually in the very place that they are in any given moment - both individually and corporately [Galatians 3:13].

+ If My children fail to maintain their heart with "all diligence" then it is certain that they will set their heart on any "increase" [blessing] that is manifests in their life and ministry.

+ Circumstances are never the real problem. One's "attitude" towards their circumstances is the source and root of every problem. For in the exercising of faith one will quickly rise above their circumstances and, ultimately, the problem will be eradicated through their steadfastness [faithfulness].

+ The "ground of unforgiveness" can be formed on even the simple basis that one "feels" they are not being treated the way they "think" they should be treated - regardless of the fact that they may or may not have been mistreated. For one to hold to unforgiveness on this basis is for that one to exalt themselves above My Word [Will] through a spirit of self-exaltation. From these things, you can see clearly the seriousness of holding to "any" ground of unforgiveness. For as I stated before, all "maintaining" of unforgiveness is rooted in rebellion - working through a spirit of self-exaltation.

+ If one does not have an answer they need it is because they have not put themselves in a position to gain the necessary revelation from Me - concerning any given situation they might be involved in.

+ All "ignorance" of spiritual things, and any lack of the "necessary" revelation come as a result of a "definite" ignoring of My Word [Joshua 1:8].

+ Before My children can become the "spotless and unblemished" Church they must "willingly" repent of their "spots" and "blemishes" [Ephesians 5:27].

+ The entrance of My Word [revelation] into one's heart produces an ever-increasing light. The exercising of "self-desire" [leaning upon one's own understanding in the pursuit of self-agenda] allows darkness and "self-assurance" [self-dependence] to enter in to a continually greater degree.

[october 5th 2007]


+ My children must beware of the inherent tendency of the old nature to "glorify" past deeds of the flesh, by remembering them in light of anything but My Word. For I do not need the witness of what My children once were, but rather only what they are now "in Me" will be sufficient witness to those around them. Did I not say "all the old things have passed away" [2 Corinthians 5:17-21]? Every word that is spoken about the past must be spoken in accordance with My Word, and under the direct unction of My Spirit. For there are those who still seek to "gratify" themselves by taking a form of enjoyment in expressing their past sins. First of all there is no record of those sins in Heaven and second, the person who committed those sins is "dead". This quest to see who has received the most mercy and grace must stop! For it is a very subtle form of self-exaltation, and is designed to cause the believer to keep their eyes on themselves and sin, instead of Me.

+ Nowhere in My Word does it state or comment on how "easy" it is to walk "cross-grain" against the law of sin and death, and to remain out of the trap of having fellowship with, or being conformed to, this evil world. But there is the promise to each one who will believe, that they shall be empowered and strengthened in the maintaining of a "perfect relationship" with each person of the Trinity [Father, Son and Holy Spirit]. It is their love for Me that drives My children on in obedience to My Word, regardless of any persecution or hindrance laid across their path by the Evil One. There are many who have received the authority I have given them, in Christ, and they are controlling Satan and his forces by the words of their mouth. One is not able to measure the pleasure I receive when My children continually make the decision, by an act of their will, to love Me [obey Me] in all that they do. Truly this earth could not contain the blessing that I desire to [and will] pour forth upon the children of obedience in this most glorious hour.

You shall see in the coming hours and days, a pouring forth of My love and power that will shake this world and its sin to the very core. All the times that My children have stood in faith against the forces of darkness shall bring forth fruit in such a way that the world shall know that God Almighty is in league with them. And they shall stand in awe of the things that shall come to pass because of the love and faith that have been continually exercised in My name. There is nothing "natural" about My Church, but only supernatural. For does not My power transcend the realm of "soulish" power? Truly I say to you I am a rewarder of those who seek Me with a pure heart [Hebrews 11:6], and indeed they shall see Me - and the multitudes shall see that My hand is mightily upon My beloved ones. Well done My good and faithful servants! Well done! The day that you have longed for [the time of the Glorious Church] has arrived - and I shall be found "abiding" in your midst.

[october 6th 2007]


+ The Word does not "work" for the wilfully disobedient.

+ The reason why many of My children have a "fixation" with the "things below" is that they seek first something other than the establishment of My Kingdom. For if  any one of My children seeks first the establishment of My Kingdom, and continually makes it their first and foremost priority, they shall know and have a revelation of the "things that are not profitable to their spiritual walk [1 Corinthians 10:23].

+ If anyone of My children chooses to "measure" the calling upon their life by their "own" limitations in the natural, then they shall become enmeshed in a deep and stagnant "passivity" - through fear. I have not called those whom I have called to abide in any strength apart from Mine, and I have not asked them to see through any eyes but Mine. It is as My children exercise an "absolute" faith, moving forward in simple obedience to My Word, that I am "enabled" to increase their "vision" and, indeed, I shall surely reveal "things to come" [John 16:13] in this hour to all those whose hearts are "wholly" Mine.

+ The "attempted" [and constant] pressure by Satan against every one of My children truly desiring to live a godly life in Christ Jesus [2 Timothy 3:12] should come as no surprise; because the first and foremost "active" characteristic of a heart that loves [reverences] Me is a "holy hatred" of Satan - and all that he stands for [Proverbs 8:13]! The chief aim of that holy desire being to destroy Satan's strongholds, and to pursue him until he is consumed [2 Samuel 22:38]!

[october 7th 2007]


+ Unholy fear of any kind has no part with absolute truth [2Timothy 1:7]!

+ As My children go forth in perfect obedience all that I have provided for them in Christ shall continually be manifested in them and upon them - and upon all those who cross their path.

+ Many of My children, instead of seeking a continually deeper revelation of the "absoluteness" of their authority in Christ, have allowed themselves to "slip back" into the cloudy atmosphere of the "world" and, thus, Satan is able to keep them in a place wherein they are continually in bondage to a "spirit of mental ascension" - and, thus, they are continually deceived into leaning upon their own understanding. It is indeed time for Me to send forth My holy apostles and prophets into the midst of the congregations, and they shall walk in the fulness of the authority that is theirs in Christ, and the demonic forces shall flee before them as My absolute authority and power and light are continually manifested through them. And they shall speak forth a revelation of My absoluteness and, thus, shall many come into the "fullness" of their inheritance in Christ in this most glorious hour.

+ The flesh looks upon "fasting" as a major inconvenience.

+ The "maintaining" of self-desire [presumption] supercedes "godly desire", and opens the door wide to a "deaf and dumb spirit" - an evil spirit that causes one to ignore My Will, and "hear" and "see" only that which lines up with the fulfillment of the aforementioned "self-desire".

[october 8th 2007]


+ I know exactly what each of My children need each moment of each day they spend on the earth. Therefore, it is imperative that every one of My beloved children place themselves in perfect position to hear the voice of My Spirit. Many of My children continue to seek to meet their spiritual needs through their five physical senses [their own understanding], and because of this they allow themselves to fall prey to the darkened traditions and doctrines of men. My children must come to the realization that all things that they need are received from within and, as they are received in their heart, the physical manifestation shall surely come. Many of My children seek first the physical manifestation, in unbelief and, therefore, are never able to receive from Me what they truly need, because of their unbelief.

It is time for all of My children to partake of My Word to a much greater degree than they ever have before. For the end of this age has come, and all the weapons of their warfare must be in perfect working order for them to walk in "absolute victory" [victory that is devoid of any failure or defeat]. Those who obey this command shall surely succeed, and those who do not shall surely fail in this final hour. Satan is mounting an attack based on the darkness and ground of fear that some have allowed to both infiltrate and remain in their hearts. It is because of this that you will see many who were once seeking My light attempt to downgrade those who have continued on in My Word. But fear not, for by My power those who are targets of this vile persecution shall be made to stand far above all that comes against them, and they shall be mighty vessels of My Spirit of burning and judgement in this hour; and all who choose to forsake My Word shall from this day forth, walk in dread of My faithful ones. For such power as has never before been seen in the earth shall rest upon [and flow forth through] My beloved ones.

Fear not! For in these days the Spirit of courage and boldness shall cause My children to be a mighty sign and wonder to the peoples of the earth, and all shall know that their deliverance [salvation] is found only in Me. Go forth into every place I lead you, and be that living testimony that I have prepared you to be, My faithful ones.  Stretch your faith out on My Word alone and all of these things that I have spoken of shall come to pass at an "ever increasing" pace in the earth. Rejoice My beloved ones, and hold fast to your obedience, for those things that have been established by the hand of men in the midst of My people shall soon be no longer. For indeed all shall be conformed to the image of My dear Son in the midst of all those who truly love Me, and He shall surely fill all in all, and have the pre-eminence over all things [Ephesians 1:17-23].

+ "Not Christ but I", is still the most common  "expression" of many of My children in their words and deeds [Galatians 2:20].

+ One cannot "suffer" for righteousness' sake [resist, in faith and love, against all that they have been redeemed from] and continue to walk in the "flesh". For every scheme of Satan against those who desire to live godly lives in Christ Jesus [2 Timothy 3:12], is aimed at the pride of the flesh and the lust of the flesh.

+ It is obedience to the command to keep one's eyes "fixed" on My Word that enables one to truly lay their life down. For to diligently obey the command to incline one's heart towards My Word constitutes "self denial" - for it takes self denial to keep ones eyes fixed on My Word. It will either be: eyes fixed on the Word - self-denial; eyes fixed on the world - self-indulgence.

+ For My children to have the assurance in their heart that they are in the centre of My will is enough. For to "search" for anything more betrays a "lingering", double-mindedness. A wholesome faith does not "seek" its confirmation through outward things but, rather, through the inward reality [revelation] of My Word [Will] abiding in one's heart.

+ Whatever in one's life that is not a product of a deep and abiding dependence upon [trust in] Me - is sin [Romans 14:23b].

+ Selfishness [self-desire] trangresses My Word [Will] - and it is certain that the way of the transgressor is hard [difficult] [Proverbs 13:15 KJV].

+ The motivating force behind the flesh is "self", and the motivating force behind "self" is Satan!

+ Many of My children are walking on a "plane" far below the fullness of their inheritance in Christ. This must end! In this hour, they must be "elevated" by the uncompromised Word [absolute Truth] ministered in the fullness of conviction in order to enter into the "fullness" of their destiny, in Christ. It is for this reason that I have established My holy apostles and prophets, and as My children inquire of Me I shall surely lead them to those who will be instrumental in them entering into - and remaining in - the proper spiritual positioning in this most critical and glorious hour.

+ Many of My children will be "tempted" to "relax" as I send forth My holy apostles and prophets. For they have "allowed" themselves to be deceived into "thinking" that "their" work is already done. But truly I say to you, "every" word that I speak through My holy bondservants and handmaidens shall serve only to put the "onus" on the hearer to come into a "continually closer fellowship" with Me in order that they might gain the aforementioned "necessary revelations" for their life and ministry. For without these "necessary revelations" they shall "continue" to fall short of walking in the fulness of their inheritance in Christ.

+ Without a burning [active] revelation of My "divine requirement [Luke 10:27] My children will not be able to walk [abide] in the "fullness" of their inheritance in Christ.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

[october 11th 2007]


+ Any element of self-desire maintained to any degree will most certainly produce a "half-hearted" effort in the diligent seeking, and the "attempted" carrying out, of My Will.

+ "Religious" spirits "warp" [pervert] My Word [Will] in order to carry out Satan's highest purpose in the life of the one that they are seeking to "control".

+ I have no "problem" with one of My children going to a "doctor" if they find themselves in a "weakened state" and, thus, they lack - in that time - the "necessary" revelation to appropriate their healing that was "bought" [purchased for them nearly two thousand years ago. But it is certain they must "first" acknowledge Me in order that "I" might direct their paths to a physician who "knows" Me and, as they do, I shall surely reveal to that physician what is "necessary" - in that time - to "stabilize" the "physiological" attack of the Evil One. The next step I expect "all" those in this position to take is that they "continually" seek a deeper revelation of My Word concerning divine healing and divine health. For it is certain that as they do I shall be faithful to bring them to the place, ultimately, wherein sickness and disease can no longer "touch" them!

+ Presently, there are many who are walking around in the midst of My people that should not be! As the outpouring of My Spirit continues to increase in this hour [and right on through to the end of the Church age] all that is apart from Christ [the Anointed One and His Anointing] in the midst of those who truly love shall depart [flee] from their presence. For ALL that proceeds from unrighteous motivation will not be able to stand the intensity of My Glory, and there shall be NO enemy in the camp and, thus, shall many true, spiritual environments be established throughout the Body of Christ - in every nation - in these days, and in the glorious days ahead.

[october 12th 2007]


+ Those whom I have called and anointed to walk in the offices of the apostle and prophet, hold the keys to the life and success of all My children. For it is by My beloved apostles and prophets that I shall reveal those things that My children need to know in order to deal successfully with the "coming onslaught" of the Evil One. For he has been enabled [allowed] to lead many of My precious ones astray and into an area where he will destroy them. 

There are many of My children who are beginning to sense in their hearts that all is not right in their lives. Indeed it may even appear that they are prospering "outwardly", but day by day the restlessness in their heart increases. It will be but a short while before they repent and seek My face from a pure and whole heart, and I shall send them to My holy apostles and prophets for instruction. It has been because they have not submitted themselves to My "authority" [Word] entirely that has continually caused them to reject those that I have sent to them for their own edification and blessing. Many shall realize the folly of their ways and repent, and they themselves shall lead those who are under their charge, to those whom they once called "false teachers" and "false prophets".

Hold fast My beloved children, for Satan's grip on the hearts of many is slipping rapidly. He has fought to bind up My sent ones, but truly, truly I say to you this day, he has failed! I say to you that once the power of My anointing, which I have placed upon My handmaidens and bondservants in this last hour, is unleashed in its fullness, they shall indeed "turn the world upside down" and the hearts of men shall melt in the presence of Almighty God! For I am about to do in the earth My greatest work of the Church age; it shall be the "grand finale", that I have been waiting to bless mankind with. I have My holy apostles and prophets in position, and this earth shall be ministered to in ways never before seen by the eyes of men. Do not be staggered My beloved children by these things which shall surely come to pass before your eyes; only keep your eyes fixed upon Me. For then, you shall surely be continually in a position of dependence on the voice of My Spirit - in order that you might be found pure vessels of My wisdom and power. The wisdom and power that shall truly set the captives free, and lead them into My Kingdom in its fullness.

+ In reality, to be "true" to oneself is to be true to Me.

+ All "foolishness" has its beginning in the mistrusting of Me.

+ My children must always place themselves in the "position" of their persecutors - something that is made possible by their initial desire to love rather than hate. For as one steps out beyond their "feelings" to love at all costs, My wisdom and understanding and compassion shall come forth immediately, thus allowing My children to render My "greatest eternal benefit" on "all" who cross their path.

+ To "play it safe" may be considered wise in worldly circles; but never is "holding part back" [through fear and unbelief] acceptable to Me.

+ Many show an "outward" concern for those in need of deliverance, but they continue to pray amiss due to their failure to forsake all to obey the voice of My Spirit, and their failure to measure "fully" My Word in their own lives. Did I not say that it was the fervent, effectual prayer of a "righteous" man that avails much [James 5:16b]? All "burden" for prayer is brought forth from My Spirit, through the spirit of the one who is "clean" before Me; and while they may wrestle and battle fiercely with the hosts of darkness as they are set apart to pray, the true intercessor will in no way ever be moved to pray by what is perceived, solely through the five physical senses but, rather, according to the "revelation" rising up in their inner man.

[october 14th 2007]


+ The one great downfall or by-product of a lack of diligence on behalf of any in a position of delegated authority is the fact that it will always cause My Word to be preached in less than the fullness of conviction. This will hinder the flow of the Anointing to such a degree that the "captives" shall remain in bondage until such a time that the "impediment" in those who preach My Word is removed by the power of My Spirit - as they set themselves apart, unto Me, in fasting and prayer. For it is only as they come into this position of intimate fellowship with Me that they will "immersed" in the "absolute" light necessary to reveal the ground of fear, unbelief and darkness within them that hindered the flow of the Anointing.

+ Self-exaltive practices produce soulish gratification.

+ If one acknowledges the "flesh" [their own understanding] in all of their ways then, surely, it will be Satan and his forces who direct their path [Proverbs 14:12]!

+ All those who are called to minister My Word must never "come down" [through compromise] to the level of those they minister to. For truly I say to you, it is their job to "elevate" those who will hear.

+ I never set up any of the Kingdom principles of divine prosperity and increase based on coveteousness and hardness of heart in My people. The whole system that I instituted through My Word, as in all things pertaining to the Kingdom and the Church,  is based upon a perfect obedience  - motivated and carried out by My love shed abroad in My children's hearts.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[october 15th 2007]


+ The way one moves from faith to faith and glory to glory is to bring "every" thought captive to a perfect obedience [a revelation of My Will - Word]. For, as they do, they shall surely remain on the "narrow path" of perfect obedience. If there is a failure to do this then they shall surely be found leaning upon their own understanding and, thus, Satan shall be "enabled" to take them off the course that I have set before them. Truly I say to you, this is most "unacceptable" to "all" those who are "walking in" positions of leadership at this time. For if one stands to minister in the darkness of their own understanding would it not be, in some form, the "blind leading the blind"? I have called all those in leadership to "elevate" the people that I have given them for the purposes of ministering and ministry and, thus, I call all those who have "held part back", but yet have been quick to take a "position of leadership", to seek a "thorough repentance". As they do I shall send My holy apostles and prophets and they shall minister My Word in the "fullness of conviction", and all those whose hearts are "wholly" towards Me shall be themselves "elevated" into the position and ministry that I have ordained, and they shall immediately begin to bear ["maximum"] fruit - an hundred-fold compared to their "previous" ministry, and they shall know in their hearts that all of these "glorious" manifestations were because they became "partakers" of the anointing [anointed words] that abides within My most holy apostles and prophets! Truly I say to you, from this day forth I shall surely set My Church, throughout the entire earth, on Her final course to the "fullness" of My Glory!

+ To the degree that one of My children "holds part back" from Me through the maintaining of self-desire it is to that degree that they will "rob" all those who cross their path of the "blessings" that I had prepared for them.

+ I did not call My people to "allow" themselves to be "controlled" by people. I called My people to "allow" themselves to be "controlled by My Spirit - Who is the Spirit of Love [2 Corinthians 5:14a].

+ It is never My will for any one of My ministers to put "pressure" on any of My children - emotional or physical - concerning finances. But it was, and is, most certainly My will for My ministers to pray for those with whom they have to do - that by My power I might lead them into the place of abiding in a perfect obedience.

[october 16th 2007]


+ If one of My children continually "walks" [acts or speaks] in selfishness it means that they have a deep-rooted ground of fear in their heart, and if that ground of fear continues to be "maintained" then that one shall become even more "self-absorbed" [self-focussed] until such a time as they "allow" My Word to both expose it and cast it out [1 John 4:18].

+ The reason that, up until this time, many "religious spirits" and "self-exaltive" spirits have been "allowed" to walk in the midst of My people "virtually unchallenged" is because - for the most part - My children have not been "consistent" in their obedience to My command to guard their heart with "all" diligence in order that they might abide in a perfect love! And, thus, their discernment has been impaired and their eyes have been blinded to a certain degree by a "spirit of darkness". But truly I say to you, as they come into the place of abiding that I "require" of them they shall soon "see" what has been going on in their midst, and they shall immediately turn on Satan and his forces and drive them out from the midst of their congregations! If those in "leadership" do not "challenge" - and, thus, drive out "all" Satanic activity in the midst of their congregation then truly I say to you, that "activity" shall increase in this hour.

+ In this last hour, I shall make this "final wave" of My holy apostles and prophets "walking ultimatums" before My people - and vast multitudes shall be brought to the point of "absolute decision" concerning their service to Me [Joshua 24:14-15].

+ Every "unwholesome" word that is spoken by My children produces the reciprocal effect to "edification" and, thus, such words tend only to draw the hearer "downwards" onto the "ground" of the world - and the spirit thereof [pride, fear darkness etc.]. Instead of meeting the need of the moment and ministering grace they "build up" - through a spirit of self-exaltation - the one speaking [themselves], and give nothing to those who hear! If My children will only shut out the "world", and continually put themselves in the position where their "inner man" is being "saturated" with My Word THEN it is certain that "every" word that proceeds from their mouth shall minister "life" [John 7:38]. For is it not written, "out of the "abundance" of the heart the mouth speaks [Matthew 12:34b]?" Therefore, let every one of My children guard their heart with "all" diligence and, thus, put aside from them "all" that would produce an "unwholesomeness" in the words they speak [Ephesians 4:29].

JESUS:

+ I desire holiness in all of My people! I have not called just a special few to walk in the fullness of the inheritance that is theirs, in Me. Indeed, it is certain that those of My people who have allowed themselves to be deceived into believing that I am pleased with, or honor in any way, actions that do not proceed from faith, are tragically mistaken. They neither know Me very well - nor do they desire to draw near to Me. Such actions on their part, "betray openly" their heart-desire to lust after the things of this world, and seek glory for themselves in that which they deem "Christian" service.

Truly, truly I say to you, I shall surely hand over those who "flaunt" their rebellious attitudes before the eyes of the world, to open and public defeat, and they shall wallow in their shame and despair. For the time has come to humble those who have sought to exalt themselves, and to honor and show Myself strong before the nations, on behalf of all those who have humbled themselves before Me [Matthew 23:10-12]. For let those who boast in themselves know that I, the Lord, shall expose all of the "cleverly" hidden and secret issues of their heart, and in all they do they shall suffer devastating defeat. For what have I to do with the acts of unrighteousness they commit before the peoples? Indeed, I will never vindicate the actions of those who are apart from Me; for is it not written, "apart from Me you can do nothing?" How My wrath burns at the flagrant disobedience, and the self-righteous and rebellious attitudes that characterize many of My people. They have clearly pushed aside My Word, and have deemed their own darkened wisdom as sufficient for "their" purposes. Indeed, they shall have the desires of their heart; for as they remain [abide] in fellowship with the Evil One and his domain, so shall they reap the death and corruption [darkness] they have sown to. My anger shall burn against them, and I shall not relent of My judgement upon those who call righteousness, evil and unrighteousness, holy and profitable - for they are nothing more than messengers of Satan!

Behold, by My power and through My holy vessels, My beloved apostles and prophets I shall utterly devastate and destroy the false prophets. Truly I say to you, My beloved ones, be prepared in all things, and in all things guard your heart with great diligence, for My day has come; a day in which I shall show Myself strong with great signs and wonders, and both My people, and the peoples of the nations, shall see clearly those whom I have sent, and those whom I have not sent. For the false prophets and all those who teach My people under "false pretences" [outside of and apart from the Anointing], shall surely perish in their lies, while My true apostles and prophets, and all those who minister My Word only by the power of the Anointing that abides within them, shall continually prosper in ways that exceed abundantly all that one could comprehend at this time, and surely all shall know that it is I who prosper them, and that it is I who hold each of them in My arms to love them and protect them. For their faithfulness and obedience shall be vindicated in every way, and the strongholds of Satan shall crumble to dust, and be utterly destroyed, as they march forward in this most glorious hour!

"diligence" - showing perseverance and proper application in whatever is undertaken;  persistant application to ones work or duty; steady; constant;


Lest we forget:

        ...."These will wage war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, because He is Lord of Lords and King of Kings, and those who are with Him are the called and chosen and faithful"....
Revelation 17:14

        ...."Hallelujah! For the Lord our God, the Almighty reigns. Let us rejoice and be glad and give the glory to Him, for the Marriage of the Lamb has come and His bride has made herself ready. And it was given to her to clothe herself in fine linen, bright and clean; for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. And He said to me, "write, blessed are those who are invited to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb" and He said to Me "these are true Words of God".... 

Revelation 19: 6-9

       ...."And I saw Heaven opened; and behold, a white horse, and He who sat upon it is called Faithful and True; and in righteousness He judges and wages war. And His eyes are a flame of fire and upon His head are many diadems (crowns), and He has a name written upon Him which no one knows except Himself. And He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood; and His name is called the Word of God. And the armies which are in Heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following Him on white horses. And from His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may smite the nations; and He will rule them with a rod of iron; and He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty. And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written, "King of Kings, and Lord of Lords"....

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[october 18th 2007]


+ In  many cases "evangelization" has become a work organized solely by the energies of men, apart from Me.

+ There is an anointing abiding within [and resting upon] every last one of My children that will empower them to walk [abide] in a perfect obedience.

+ The Church must be separated from the world [system] as a "whole", this being the direct result of an "individual" separation from the world unto My Word [Will].

+ The "force of love" will be predominant in all of your words and actions as you go forth to minister to My people in this hour, and as My love is poured out through you, and as My people are ministered to, that Love will draw those who truly love Me near to Me and "repel", in some way[offend], those whose hearts are not yet wholly given - and, thus, shall a great separation process take place in the midst of My people [Matthew 10:34] in these days.

Take no thought: for what anyone "thinks" at any time. For as you go forth, adhering only to Me, and hearing only the voice of My Spirit as I direct you moment to moment, those of My children whose hearts are towards Me shall surely be "set free" from all hindrances and unholy attachments, to enter into a deeper revelation of My glory and My love and My faith. This is not a time for the "comfort that kills" to have a hold on the lives of any of My children. For in the lateness of the hour every thought must be brought captive to a "perfect obedience" and, thus, shall "true harmony" [one accord] reign in the midst of the congregations. For it is then - and only then - that My children will see the fullness of My power to accomplish all that I have planned for them "corporately" in this final hour.

Many of My children "crave" power that they might carry out the "Great Commission", but first and foremost they must realize that it is only as they are "blameless and holy" [Ephesians 1:3-4] - seeking only to be found in a perfect obedience - that will "allow" My power to flow in such measure as to accomplish "quickly" that which is required of My Church, and thus shall the "Church Age" be brought to a close in a most glorious way!

+ The root [ground] of every scheme of Satan in the church at large, through his "religious spirits", is "fellowship with the world.

+ Every time that one of My children speaks My Word, that very act of speaking shall bring forth the necessary light - and at the same time "release" the necessary faith to bring to pass that which was just revealed to the heart.

+ Faith works by love; fear works by selfishness [pride].

+ If one maintains the "thought" that someone has done them wrong [even though they may not have done anything wrong] it is still "ground" for the spirit of unforgiveness to work in the offended one's heart.

+ Fear breeds ignorance.

+ For one to "retain" control of any aspect or facet of their life or ministry is to maintain a "ground of leaven" that will continually affect them adversely until such a time as they "allow" Me to both expose and consume that ground of pride.

+ "Casual" [unwholesome] words produce a "casual" [diminished] consecration, and a casual [diminished] consecration produces casual [unwholesome] words [Ephesians 4:29].

"casual" - irregular, occasional; without intention or plan; negligent;

"diminished" - to make smaller or less - as in size, amount or degree;

+ There is no aspect or characteristic of holiness that is rooted and grounded in the fear of what others think.

+ Many of My children continue to "mentally ascend" to My Word [through a fear and mistrust of Me] and, thus, they "maintain" a distorted view [vision] of "love" [My true character and Person] - and remain bound to that which is soulish and self-serving in their pursuit of happiness. One will never have a perception of what love truly is "beyond" the degree of revelation knowledge that they have. Without a revelation of My true character one will continue to "maintain" a distorted perception of the deepest thoughts and intentions of My heart - and great love - towards them. It is only as My children draw near to Me in the "inner chamber" that they will come to know the deep and tender affection I have for them on a personal [individual] level - and, in coming to know this great truth, enter into the perfect liberty and abiding love that is theirs, in Christ [John 14:23].

+ A "righteous intention" must be followed immediately by "righteous" [perfect corresponding] action [James 2:17].

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[october 21st 2007]


+ Many of My children "presume" too much! It is necessary for every one of My children to keep their hearts open to the revelation of My Word by My Spirit. It is at the point where one believes they have a "sufficient" revelation that darkness begins to set in, and their light will dim. It is for this reason that many of My beloved ones have faltered, for "pride" [self-desire] has entered in, and caused them to be deceived in their hearts. Indeed it was to some of them that I opened up the revelation of faith and the life-changing power of My Word; but I say to you this day that once one's faith has been shifted from My Word alone, to dependence on the "natural circumstances" then will the "flow" of revealed knowledge cease in that individual. It is for this reason that I must remove some of My ministers from the place to which "they" have attained; for they have stopped doing those very things that caused them to walk in the fullness of My blessings. Their first thought is no longer to minister unto Me in the "inner chamber". Instead, they have allowed the Evil One to deceive their hearts and, thus, they run to and fro seeking to meet the needs of My people by the arm of the flesh. I have earnestly spoken to them on many occasions, but they have placed themselves in a position wherein the voice of the world has all but drowned out the voice of My Spirit, yet they refuse to step off of "the treadmill of fleshly activity" in order to be still before Me.

Truly I say to you, it is time to proceed with the fullness of My Plan for a Glorious Church, and as "My" judgement of "My" household intensifies with each passing day you will see many, who were "thought" to be beyond reproach by My people, fall - and all of their works that did not proceed from obedience to My Word and My Spirit shall be exposed. For as the end of this age draws to a close, every one of My children must know beyond a shadow of a doubt that ANY form of dependence upon the darkened wisdom of the Evil One must end in death and corruption. For indeed My Church shall be spotless and unblemished before the nations, and they shall see the "reality" of My presence to a continually greater degree, until this sinful world can no longer contain the righteousness and holiness of My beloved children; and then I shall "catch them away", and darkness shall have its final hour. And so shall My eternal purpose be fulfilled as I have proclaimed clearly in My Word. Go forth My beloved and faithful servants, and set your gaze upon the hearts of My children, for I will both reveal and empower you to meet their deepest needs in this hour. There are yet many of My beloved ones who remain in bondage to fear - thus causing them to seek their place in the traditions and mental ascensions of men, rather than the spontaneous life and light of the Spirit of wisdom and revelation. Move forth as one, strong in the knowledge that I shall back every Word you speak, by My great and awesome power; and truly My glory shall fill the earth, and My Kingdom shall be established in the hearts of the people - and, ultimately, in the earth"....

"presume" - assume to be true; to take upon oneself without warrant or permission; to act or proceed presumptuously;

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[october 22nd 2007]


+ None of My children should be "levelling" their "criticisms" upon those whom they deem as "less righteous" than themselves. For the only standard of true righteousness is "perfect obedience", and if they themselves were walking in perfect obedience, and abiding in Me and I in them, then there would be no unwholesome or "unloving" comments going forth from their lips [Ephesians 4:29]. Therefore, from these things, one can see clearly that to judge one "unrighteously" is a most abominable thing in My sight; and it is certain that all "righteous" judgement going forth through the lips of My bondservants and handmaidens will be but the "spontaneous" uttering of the deepest thoughts and intentions of My heart [love] on behalf of the ones being ministered to. In other words, as I send my handmaidens and bondservants forth to "intervene" on My behalf with a view to "correcting" any ungodly course, the words spoken shall be as "flames of fire" and "shafts of light" and thus shall each one's work become evident, and the "hearer" shall always be brought into the position wherein they must choose to either obey with a perfect obedience or continue to rebel against My perfect will for their lives.

+ To believe that the things which are perceived by the five physical senses are more real than My Word - to any degree - indicates clearly that one is "gripped" by a spirit of darkness and, thus, they are deceived and easily moved from the narrow path of perfect obedience - which is located in the centre of My will for their life and ministry.

+ It is a dangerous thing for any of My children to "underestimate" the call I have placed upon their lives. For if they "view" things only through their own understanding, they will most surely be "limited" in what they believe they can accomplish in My service. But as they keep their eyes fixed upon My Word, and as they continually place themselves in a position wherein they might continually come to a deeper understanding and revelation of who they are in Christ Jesus, THEN their faith will no longer be in their "own" abilities, but rather in Mine alone. And truly I say to you, all things are possible to those who will be found believing in this final hour.

+ The only thing that one of My children has the capability for - apart from the Anointing that abides within them - is sin [Romans 7:18; Romans 14:23b].

+ The "flesh" [old nature] is selfishness personified.

+ There is no "anointing" for all those things taking place in the midst of My people that are not ordained by Me.

+ Truth is a "Spirit" [Person], and all those who will "receive" My Word - ministered in the Spirit of truth - shall be set free in this final hour [Acts 2:21].

+ "All" rebellion has its root in the same iniquity that was found in Satan, and which manifested itself in his rebellion against Me. I shall not deal lightly with "any" in My church who "allow" themselves to be "held" by a spirit of rebellion [iniquity] in this most critical hour [Isaiah 14:12-16].

+ My children cannot abide in love apart from abiding in [making their abode in] My Word. Therefore, to the degree that one truly desires to walk in love it is to that degree they shall give My Word pre-eminence in their lives.

+ One is either putting into effect the "law of divine increase" or the "law of decrease" in any given moment through their obedience [righteousness] or disobedience [unrighteousness]. The law [principle] of increase is a manifestation of the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. The law [principle] of decrease is a manifestation of the law of sin and death [Romans 8:1-2].

[october 24th 2007]


+ There are many in positions of "leadership" in My church who have "allowed" themselves to become "self-satisfied", and thus they are deceived by a "contentment" that is not of Me! And thus, they have need of My light - a light that shall shine only through intimate fellowship with Me in the "inner chamber" and the "anointing" resting upon and abiding within My holy apostles and prophets in this last hour. If one allows themselves to be continually held captive by a spirit of self-satisfaction then it is certain that they will "tolerate", to a degree, the "curse" in their midst, and through the power of that darkness [and the hardness of their own heart] many in their "flock" shall continually suffer the "tragic" consequences of their pride and unbelief! Truly I say to you, I shall remove My "hand" from them for a time in order that they might come to the place wherein their eyes are opened wide to see the folly of their ways! Truly I say to you, "any" manifestation of Satanic activity of "any" kind should be recognized as a clear and distinct sign that there is something "seriously wrong" in the midst of their congregation, and that they must "immediately" set themselves to attack - with a holy violence - the very root of Satan's scheme! It is because of the aforementioned "self-satisfaction" - a perverse and temporary "satisfaction" that is fuelled by the lie that they have been deceived into believing that they themselves are both responsible for, and able to, meet the needs of My people. But it is certain that unless a deep and thorough repentance is forthcoming by these "rebellious ones" I shall expose every last one of their "unrighteous works", and I shall immediately consume them [the unrighteous works] with "holy fire"! And I shall make them a "sign and wonder" for the admonishment [warning] of My people - in order that all those with whom they have to do come to a clear understanding of the folly of "self-assuredness" and "self-sufficiency.

+ A "spirit of independence" [non-dependence upon Me] works from the "ground" of ungodly and selfish desire - through fear.

+ I have sent My holy apostles and prophets, and I shall continue to send My holy apostles and prophets, to those who should listen. Yet, in some cases, they will not be willing to listen since they are not willing to listen to Me [Ezekiel 2:3-7].

+ If one "maintains" a "certain expectancy" for anything that is apart from My Will [Word] then that one shall surely allow themselves to be held captive continually to a certain degree by a "sin-consciousness" [unrighteousness-consciousness].

+ If one's love is pure then it will not matter how many times it is "abused" by flesh and blood. For it will always spring forth, even in the face of the most vile persecution, constant and never changing in its desire to bless all with its presence. Rejoice My beloved ones! For the seeds of love that you have planted in faith and obedience [in a time of famine] have now reached fruition - and truly I say to you, you shall reap the joy which you have sown in tears [Psalm 126:1-6].

+ Great and awesome shall be the displays of My power that proceed forth from the mouths of My holy vessels in this last hour! In the beginning of My Church My children walked in great power [because they were in one accord] but truly, truly I say to you, that they had only a little revelation of Me compared to that which is in the earth at this time [that "revealed" knowledge having been acquired generation to generation through the centuries by My beloved bondservants and handmaidens, and passed on to all of My children]. My glory fills the earth to a greater degree than ever before, with each passing day, and as you take the deepest revelations of My Word [love - Will] forth, they shall remove "all" of the obstacles that have hindered the flow of My Spirit. Then, once again, My people shall be in one accord and of the same mind, thus allowing My life and power to flow unhindered, and truly I say to you, GREAT shall be the ruin of the Evil One! Hold fast to your obedience My beloved ones, for I have chosen you to lead My people in this "relentless onslaught" against the Evil One, and indeed they shall know that you are Mine, and that it is My hand which is upon you!

+ One important reason why My children need to rid themselves of the fear of what others think, is that they will be greatly hindered in their attack against spiritual foes if they place ANY importance at all on what "flesh and blood" think [Galatians 1:10]. As My children put aside the "fear of men" and what they think, they are then able to tackle demonic influence  - whether it be during times of intercession and prayer, alone by themselves, or whether they stand face to face with people who are being strongly influenced by the demons.

+ Hold fast, My beloved ones, to your obedience, by guarding your hearts with all diligence. For behold, My day has come in its fullness and truly, truly I say to you, the deceitful and blaspheming tongue shall be removed from My church - by My great and awesome power.

+ The key to resisting temptation is to acknowledge Me "fully" from the first moment that Satan comes on the scene [usually the thought-life]. For, indeed, no temptation is "irresistible" in the secret place of My presence, and there is ALWAYS shelter from the storm. A continued, simple acknowledgment of My Word and My Spirit [bringing every thought captive to a revelation of My Will] shall always keep one on the proper path [2 Corinthians 10:5].

+ There is something very special to Me about a heart that goes "all out". In their "youth" I shall indeed cover their mistakes, and I shall surely teach them and instruct them in My counsel and in the way to go. But again I say to you, how pleasing it is to Me to see those of My children who have no "fear of man" and, as the "rough edges" are smoothed, they shall surely come forth as gold [Job 23:10-12] - precious vessels of My holy presence in the midst of My people.

+ When that which is done in the name of "politeness" sets itself in agreement with that which is apart from Me, then one is in sin [Romans 14:23b].

+ My children must not base their walk of obedience upon "past experience" of any sort, but rather on a moment to moment abiding in My Word, and an "open ear" to hear the voice of My Spirit [the Spirit of wisdom and revelation]. For I shall indeed do a different thing in this last hour. No, not a different thing  apart from My Word, but a deeper and fuller manifestation of My love and of My Word [Will], that I might both expose and make foolish the wisdom of the world [1 Corinthians 1:18-29]. As I send each of My bondservants and handmaidens forth in this last hour, their every word and action shall be calculated by Me to "confound" the darkened wisdom of the "wise" - and only those who truly love Me [and who thus are abiding in Me and I in them] shall know that these words and actions are of Me. It is for this reason that each of My bondservants and handmaidens must have a steadfast and established heart - in order that they might be found "rising above" the pressures [reproach] that shall SURELY come from those of My children who are living outside the "revealed" knowledge of My Word [Will], and apart from the voice of My Spirit. But overcome they shall, for I have prepared them well, and they shall live for Me - and for Me alone - in all that they do and say, and greatly shall I be glorified by their love for Me in this final hour.

"established" - to make secure, stable or permanent; to initiate and cause to last; to clear from doubt;

+ "Sin-consciousness" and a "failure-consciousness" are one and the same thing. For indeed all thoughts, words and actions that are apart from Me are doomed to failure if they are not cast down and replaced with a revelation of My Will [Word]. It is ONLY love that never fails [1 Corinthians 13:8a].

+ If My children will meditate on the "words" that I have given to My holy apostles and prophets - with a view to gaining a "continually" deeper revelation of the deepest thoughts and intentions of My heart - then I shall "expand" the "words" before them in their time in the inner chamber in such a way as to enlighten them as to how these words affect them - both directly and indirectly - for the purposes of their ministry to all those who cross their path, and all those with whom they have to do.

+ Fear not, My beloved ones, only abide in Me and truly I say to you, the force of [My] righteousness shall be poured out upon all those who cross your path and, thus, I shall judge mightily the "unrighteous practices" [which are an abomination to Me] of the "politically correct" in the midst of My people. For they serve only to exalt "self" and, thus, keep the "captives" in bondage. Take no thought for the "bleatings" of political correctness for they are regarded by Me as less than nothing, and are meaningless in My sight [1 Corinthians 1:18-29]!

+ In many cases, it is the "love of money" [1 Timothy 6:10] that has kept pastors from receiving the words [apostolic revelations] that I have sent to them through My holy apostles and prophets.

+ Just because one is "looked upon" as a "good" person does not mean that they are walking in the paths of righteousness.

+ Walk by revelation and not by "sight". I expect nothing more; I accept nothing less!

+ Each one of My children must continually seek new ways to place their dependence upon the anointing that abides within them [1 John 2:27]. They must, through time spent in My presence and diligent meditation in My Word, remove "all" dependence upon their own understanding [mental ascent], in order that the anointing might flow forth from them unhindered.

+ When one fixes their eyes only on the temporal realm in search of "discernment", they are only able to discern those things that have already manifested. But by keeping their eyes fixed on Me, and by listening to the voice of the Holy Spirit, they shall be enabled to discern all things. For indeed the Holy Spirit reveals things to come, and continually guides the pure in heart into all truth [John 16:13]. Therefore, it is diligent prayer and meditation in My Word that shall stop Satan's evil schemes even before they start.

+ Many of My children place only those portions of My Word before their eyes that "they" believe will cause My "blessings" to flow to them. From the beginning their heart-motivation is wrong, for it is rooted and grounded in selfishness. Therefore, how can My light and love be shed abroad in their hearts? It cannot! It is only from the position of a "pure heart" that My children will be able to receive the revelation of My Word - unhindered. For what fellowship has light with darkness and what fellowship has truth with rebelliousness [2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1]?

+ It is a foolish thing for My children to fear what other people think - because unless those people who are attempting to discern their actions are filled with My Spirit and seeking My wisdom, then it will not be possible for them to understand the words and actions that were carried out in love and obedience. Therefore, one can see clearly that it is only the compromise of My Word by the one who fears what others think, that will cause those attempting to judge them falsely, to drag them down to the level of their spiritual pride and darkness. This is why My children must persevere without compromise in ALL things, "knowing" that their vindication is from Me, and "knowing" that all things shall be brought into their proper place by their continued obedience - in a spirit of non-compromise.

+ As much as this last generation of those in the "world" shall be a generation of those whose "faith" is in their own ability to survive and prosper in the earth, so shall it be in My spotless and glorious Church, that all those who truly love Me shall gain a continually deeper revelation of the Cross. On one hand, there will be those who follow after the "flesh" and glory in their "self-accomplishment" [even many who attempt to do "My works" in "My Name"] while, on the other hand, there shall be a "remnant" whose entire lives are continually cast upon Me. And while one group becomes "submerged" in great darkness, the other shall "bask" in My glorious light and they shall be pure vessels of My love and life to a word consumed by darkness.

Many of those whom I have called to positions of delegated authority have forsaken My Word for the approval of men, and they cherish "self-esteem", thinking that in some way they themselves can accomplish My work. But truly I say to you, My works can only be accomplished by those who are "wholly" in Christ - those wholly given to Me spirit, soul and body - and these words that I have spoken shall become evident as wave after wave of My Spirit is poured forth upon "all" flesh in this hour.

Watch closely the lives of those that I shall point out to you, and you shall see time after time that I shall "permit" them to be afflicted in the very areas they have forsaken dependence upon Me, and in each case they will be brought to one of two choices: to either repent in great "sorrow" for their "idolatry" and, thus, become partakers of My great mercy and grace [that they might walk in their remaining time on the earth "in" My never-ending love for them] or they shall "perish" [become uncovered] as if they never existed, and I shall make them a "sign and wonder" to all those of My people who would dare to "bow their knee" to [align themselves with the lies of] Satan, having "discarded" the revelation of the "true" Christian life [holiness] and the Glorious Church - that is expanding continually in the hearts of all those who truly love Me in this hour. Indeed, they shall "rue" the day that they set aside My Word [Will] - a rebellious action confirmed through their failure to receive those whom I have sent to them - My holy apostles and prophets.

"rue" - to feel sorrow or remorse for; regret;

+ I have "calculated" the "entire" lives of My holy apostles and prophets to "offend" all that which is apart from My Word [Will]. But truly I say to you, I have also "calculated" their lives to bless greatly "all" those who seek Me, and love Me, with their whole heart.

+ A continual acting on the revelation "abiding" in ones heart is what continually "activates" the anointing abiding within each one of My children [1John 2:27].

+ One cannot be a "sign and wonder" financially - to all those who cross their path - if they are in debt.

+ Faith "works" [is empowered] by love, not by selfishness [self-desire - fear].

The "delegated" authority that I have blessed those in leadership in My church with is not to "control" the people or their actions - who sit under their ministry. It is to help "control" and defeat any demonic activity in their lives - with a view to them entering into the perfect liberty that is theirs, in Christ! And, thus, this exercising of perfect love [perfect intercession - obedience] on their behalf shall cause those who will "hear" to come into the "fullness" of the gifting and ministry that they are called to. If one attempts to control "flesh and blood", in any way through fear and/or pride, in order to bring them in line - even with the supernatural revelation previously received - then they shall fail! But as they abide in perfect love all those with whom they have to do shall be continually "elevated". Truly I say to you, there is ALWAYS a "perfect means" to the "perfect end" [vision - plan] that I have set out before them!

+ If one sins against another and the one sinned against does not make the "proper adjustment" [continuing to walk in perfect love] then they too have sinned! There is no justification for unforgiveness.

+ A "fool" is one who "acts" apart from Me - one who says in their heart, in any given moment, that there is no [need of] God [Psalm 14:1].

+ When one "maintains" sin [disobedience] in their life they also maintain a "sin-consciousness", and a "consciousness of sin" [1 John 3:21-24].

+ Every element of "sin-consciousnes" denies in some way the Precious Blood of Jesus!

"sin-consciousness" - any belief or mind-set that constitutes one "believing" that that which they have actually been redeemed from is still to be in force in their life [Romans 8:1-2;];

"righteousness-consciousness" - a continual awareness of who we "actually" are in Christ [1 Corinthians 1:30; 2 Corinthians 5:17];

+ "Sin-consciousness" is the "mind-set" that believes and practices [holds to] words or doctrines that are the product of a  "mental ascension" to My Word. It is "any" belief held to apart from the "revelation knowledge" imparted by My Spirit - the Spirit of wisdom and revelation. The chief characteristic of ALL "sin-consciousness" is that it denies to some degree the power of the Precious Blood of My dear Son - a "power" that is needed for each and every one of My children to victoriously "rise above" the attempts on their life and ministry by the Evil One in this last hour - and ALWAYS leaves that one holding to [believing in] it in a position of "non-resistance" to the destructive schemes of Satan and his forces. The "refusal" to separate oneself from the "bondage" and "darkness" of sin-consciousness in this last hour shall result in that one taking up a position - by their own choice - outside the Covenants of Promise and thus they [and those with them] shall be "openly" attacked by Satan and his forces due to the "lawlessness" at work within them until such a time as a deep and thorough repentance is forthcoming.
