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 7TH


JESUS IS COMING TO HIS CHURCH TO JUDGE EVERY LAST "SHEPHERD" OF HIS FLOCK

Words of prophecy:

JESUS:

+ In this hour, I shall now remove the "unholy" [unrighteous] shepherds from their position. For because of their unholy words and unholy actions they have led many away from Me instead of to Me. And, through an ardent pursuit of the praises [approval] of men, they have sought to conform a people to "themselves" [and to their own way of thinking for their own selfish purposes] rather than to My Image - and the highest purposes of the Father. Because of these things, I will strip them of their position, and I will lead all those that were entrusted to them to My righteous servants - those whose deepest heart-desire is to see My sheep "flourish".

"flourish" - thrive; to be successful; prosper; to grow luxuriantly, as a plant;


...."Woe to the shepherds who are destroying and scattering the sheep of My pasture!" declares the LORD. Therefore thus says the LORD God of Israel concerning the shepherds who are tending My people: "You have scattered My flock and driven them away, and have not attended to them; behold, I am about to attend to you for the evil of your deeds," declares the LORD. "Then I Myself will gather the remnant of My flock out of all the countries where I have driven them and bring them back to their pasture, and they will be fruitful and multiply. "I will also raise up shepherds over them and they will tend them; and they will not be afraid any longer, nor be terrified, nor will any be missing," declares the LORD. "Behold, the days are coming," declares the LORD, "When I will raise up for David a righteous Branch; And He will reign as king and act wisely And do justice and righteousness in the land. In His days Judah will be saved, And Israel will dwell securely; And this is His name by which He will be called, 'The LORD our righteousness"....

In these days, Jesus is coming TO His Church to judge every last "shepherd" of HIS flock. On the one hand, He shall bring with Him great promotion and reward - and the fulfillment of EVERY vision that has been held to in faith and obedience [Habakkuk 2:2-4]. And, on the other hand, He will SURELY expose the deepest "thoughts and intentions" of the hearts of those who have exalted themselves over [above] His people in ANY way - those who have sought for a position of honour and respect for who "they" are rather than for Who He is - in them. These are serious times, and all of Heaven awaits with great joy the advent of a Glorious Church [Ephesians 5:27]. So, again, let each one examine themselves in the secret place of God s Presence [the "inner chamber"] in this most critical and glorious hour [on a continual basis] that they might be "found" making the necessary adjustments that will empower them to step into the "fullness" of their true Kingdom-position. For it is certain that in this final hour, NOTHING except that which has "come forth as gold" [Job 23:10-12] - that which has been the spontaneous by-product and fruit of the deepest work of the Cross in/by the power of the Holy Spirit will stand in the path of the great Glory [holy fire] that is about to be poured forth in the midst of God s people.
