FIRE BY NIGHT
"Reflections Upon Reflections" [of The Father's Heart]
...."You,
in Your great compassion, did not forsake them in the wilderness; The pillar of
cloud did not leave them by day, to guide them on their way, nor the pillar of
fire by night, to light for them the way in which they were to go"....
Nehemiah 9:19 NASB
JANUARY 5TH
EVERY GROUND OF FEAR AND SELF-DESIRE MUST BE DEALT WITH IF WE ARE TO
DO THE TRUE KINGDOM WORK OF THIS FINAL HOUR
Words of prophecy:
* The
"comfort zones" that many of My children have established are about
to become "mine fields" [stumbling blocks], and those things
[tactics] that appeared to "get one by" [in their fear and own understanding]
will no longer be found sufficient. For, ultimately, it will only be a pure
[absolute] faith and trust in Me that will empower one to stand victoriously in
this final hour.
...."Woe
to those who are at ease in Zion, and to those who feel secure in the mountain
of Samaria"....
Amos 6:1 NASB
...."Rouse
yourselves and keep awake, and strengthen and invigorate what remains and is on
the point of dying; for I have not found a thing that you have done [any
work of yours] meeting the requirements of My God or perfect in His sight.
So call to mind the lessons you received and heard; continually lay them to
heart and obey them, and repent. In case you will not rouse yourselves and keep
awake and watch, I will come upon you like a thief, and you will not know or
suspect at what hour I will come"....
Revelation 3:2-3 The Amplified Translation
The
remnant Church is not only in a very intense time of refining and transition
but also under very severe attack from the Enemy. Everything that can still be
shaken [flesh] will be shaken - as every ground of fear and self-desire must be
dealt with if we are to do the true Kingdom work of this final hour. It is the
Father's deepest heart-desire for each and every one of us to enter into a
perfect trust and complete dependence on Him in this most critical hour. We are
on the very threshold of an amazing breakthrough but faith [and patience] alone
will bring us to where we need to be - both spiritually and locationally in the
Body of Christ. All things are possible for the one who truly believes
[trusts]. As in the case of every last child of God in this hour it will take
faith and obedience - but the CERTAIN result will be to inherit the fullness of
the promise [Hebrews 6:11-12]. In these days,
in His great mercy, the Father is confronting head on the "comfort
zones" that many have continued to "maintain" in their own
desire and strength - even though the hour is extremely late, and the call to
holiness is clear. It is the deepest heart desire of the Father for the
Glorious Church [Ephesians 5:27] to come forth
in these days - a Church that will truly impact the world [and also confront
the "religious" church] in order that the fullness of all that He had
planned through a holy people might manifest in the earth.
LET EACH AND EVERY CHILD OF GOD AWAKEN TO AN
ABSOLUTE FAITH AND TRUST IN THIS HOUR FOR THESE TRULY ARE THE DAYS OF
"HARVEST"
When
the Father used the term "mine fields" in the word above He was
referring to the fact that in these days those things that have been
established through fear [pride] and one's "own" understanding will
now become evident, and the very things that one had put their trust in
[strategies and mind-sets that had "appeared" to sustain them] will
now no longer work at all. The very things that one had placed their security
in will now lead to great "insecurity" [and torment - if held to],
BUT if one's heart is truly faithful then they will forsake all dependence upon
themselves or others [soulish attachments], and they will turn their heart "wholly"
back towards the will of God - and, thus, enter into the fullness of their true
Kingdom-position and destiny, in Christ. It is no secret that God has ALWAYS
required an absolute faith and perfect trust in Himself [His Word] [Luke 10:27], and now it will clearly be seen that
those who enter into that place of an "abiding" faith and love will
experience great victory [and, again, the manifestation of the fullness of the
vision {revelation} for their life and ministry that He has given them], while
those who continue to maintain their life and ministry through fear and
self-effort will slip deeper into darkness - all things becoming evident
through the fruit of that one's life. Let each and every child of God awaken to
an absolute faith and trust in this hour for these truly are the days of
"harvest", and each one shall reap exactly as they have sown: those
who have sown to the flesh shall reap corruption and darkness while those who
have sown to the Spirit - the superabundant life and love of God [Galatians 6:7-8].
