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 10TH


THIS SEASON THAT ALL THOSE WHO ARE TRULY SEEKING GOD ARE ABOUT TO ENTER INTO IS MUCH, MUCH DIFFERENT THAN THE SEASONS OF THE PAST

Words of prophecy:

*       The "deceitfulness" of sin causes all those of My children who have "allowed" themselves to be entangled in it to "ignore" certain "instructions" that I have given to them by My Spirit - as if I had never spoken them in the first place. When they first receive these instructions they are quick to say, "yes" and "amen" but their failure to "act" quickly upon them "allows" a spirit of procrastination to move them to a place wherein they become "unconscious" of their failure to obey and, thus, they enter into a "wilderness cycle" until such a time as they come to the realization that all is not right. As they "cry out" to Me THEN "every" time - without fail - I shall take them back to the very "instruction" they "ignored" [in some cases many years have passed], and if they are truly willing to do "all" of My will then I shall surely bring to their remembrance, by My Spirit, the clear and concise instruction that had been given previously. And, if, they are truly repentant they shall act quickly to carry it out - and, thus, they shall "move on" [rise higher] from the [soulish]"plateau" that they were "bound" to.

*       The maintenance of a "sin-consciousness" [leaning upon one's own understanding and strength] - to any degree - shall cause the [a] "cycle of failure" to be repeated. In the same way, the diligent and continual maintenance of a "righteousness-consciousness" [abiding in the revelation of who one truly is IN Christ][2 Corinthians 5:17,21] shall cause the "Kingdom cycle" of faith, love and obedience to continually manifest in that one's life and ministry.


...."Take care, brethren, that there not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God. But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called "Today," so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our assurance firm until the end, while it is said, "TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE, DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS, AS WHEN THEY PROVOKED ME." For who provoked Him when they had heard? Indeed, did not all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses? And with whom was He angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who were disobedient? So we see that they were not able to enter because of unbelief"....
                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Hebrews 3:12-19 NASB

        ...."Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. 'You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart"....

                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Jeremiah 29:12-13 NASB

          Many have stood by over a period of many years and watched prophecy after prophecy after prophecy come forth and pass them by because of a lack of understanding - a "lack" due to an improper heart-position. They have watched season after season after season pass them by without them truly understanding and recognizing the significance of that which the Father was seeking to carry out in that hour - for them individually, and concerning their part in His corporate plan. As simply as I can explain it, this season that all those who are truly seeking God are about to enter into is much, much different than the seasons of the past. In this season before us there will be a distinct call to an absolute accountability for ALL that which the Father has revealed to the individual believer's heart. Many have lost sight of the divine "vision", and many have let go of the wondrous revelation that at one time "consumed" their heart - and, thus, consumed their EVERY thought and desire. Because of these things, it is very important for every last Christian to seek the Holy Spirit daily in this hour, asking Him to refresh their heart and restore the vision [if necessary], and also for accurate direction for the very season they have entered into - for, indeed, the "fullness" of time has overtaken us.

THESE ARE THE DAYS WHEREIN THE BODY OF CHRIST SHALL BE FOUND ACCOUNTABLE FOR EVERY LAST BIT OF REVELATION KNOWLEDGE THAT HAS BEEN RELEASED INTO THE HEARTS OF GOD'S PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE AGES

          Again, these are the days wherein the Body of Christ shall be found accountable for EVERY last bit of revelation knowledge that has been released into the hearts of God's people throughout the ages. Rather than this being a confusing thing it is exactly the opposite! Why? Because each and every pure-hearted Christian [Matthew 5:8] has the Holy Spirit continually working in them and revealing to them that which they "need" to know to bring their individual part to the corporate Body - and, thus, [in their obedience] bring to manifestation the corporate plan of the Father for the Church [Ephesians 1:17-23]. There is only one thing that can complicate the life of a Christian - that is, "holding fast" to anything [or anyone] that is apart from Christ. If the child of God will keep their eyes "fixed" upon Jesus [Hebrews 12:1-2] - the Word of God - [Who, I might add, is sitting at the right hand of the Father in the heavenly places] [Ephesians 2:6], THEN not only shall their life remain a life built entirely upon a simple obedience, but they will also be found gaining a continually deeper revelation of the "absoluteness" of God. In gaining this continually deeper revelation of His holiness they shall enter into [and remain steadfast in] a glorious cycle of true "Kingdom-living" [faith -> love -> obedience; faith -> love -> obedience etc.] right through to the end of the age.
