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

THE GREAT SERIOUSNESS OF "PRESUMPTUOUS" SIN [REBELLION]

                                                                                                        [PART 2 OF 2]


                                        THE FOOLISHNESS OF PRESUMPTUOUS [UNRIGHTEOUS] JUDGEMENT


Words of prophecy:

*        I do not take the rejection of My bondservants and handmaidens lightly and I say to you this day, they shall be vindicated in their faithfulness - for their vindication is from Me. It is now a time of gathering together [divinely connecting] those of My children who are walking in the light [a revelation of My Will]; But to those who allow darkness to enter in - they shall reap just as they have sown, for there is a way which "seems" right to some of My children, but truly, truly, I say to you its end is the way of death [Proverbs 14:12]. Cast not your eyes behind you, for I shall deal with all who have come against you in a spirit of reproach and unrighteous judgement! Only keep your eyes "fixed" on Me, My beloved ones, for we have much work to do in this most glorious hour.

*       Those who are quick to judge with an "unrighteous judgement" [presumptuously] have already left themselves wide open to deception - and a lack of true discernment.

*       My call is irrevocable, and even though flesh and blood may judge with an "unrighteous judgement" I shall surely right all things, and bring forth My perfect result through you in these days.


...."For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God, which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words. But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised. But he who is spiritual appraises all things, yet he himself is appraised by no one. For WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, THAT HE WILL INSTRUCT HIM? But we have the mind of Christ"....

...."So do not make any hasty or premature judgments before the time when the Lord comes [again], for He will both bring to light the secret things that are [now hidden] in darkness and disclose and expose the [secret] aims (motives and purposes) of hearts. Then every man will receive his [due] commendation from God"....

          "All" presumptuous activity [words and actions] in the church produces "counterfeit" [counterproductive] fruit - without exception! ONLY that which is sown in the love [Will] of God [through the power of the Holy Spirit] will reap fruit for the Kingdom of God [a fruit which is both holy and eternal] for the "flesh" profits nothing [John 6:63]. One of Satan's greatest schemes to cause strife and division in the midst of God's people involves the premature judging of "fruit". By this, I mean that many times, as one is led to stand in faith concerning a revelation [vision] they have received from the Father, some who are not seeing the fruit "they" would expect to see in that one's life and ministry actually judge them "presumptuously" [unrighteously] because it does not line up with their "own" expectations of what things should "look like" - or how soon it should manifest in the physical realm in "their" estimation [opinion]. It is a spiritual fact that the "flesh" is ALWAYS in perfect enmity with the Spirit and, therefore, the one who is judging "unrighteously" does so because, firstly, they are incapable [due to unrighteous motivation in their heart] of discerning IN ANY WAY except through their own darknened understanding [Romans 2:1-2] and, secondly, because the Will of God [which is rooted in heart of the Father and the Mind of Christ] [1 Corinthians 2:16] NEVER [I said NEVER] lines up with the "mind of the flesh" [Galatians 5:16-17]. To all those who have brought forth counterfeit fruit [through their presumption], the true fruit of the Kingdom [a result of perfect obedience and a deep and abiding, waiting upon {ministering to} the Lord] grates against them in their hardened and jealous hearts. Because of these things, the words and actions of those who walk in perfect obedience are "foolishness" to those who perceive and judge those actions by their "own" understanding [rather then seeking a "revelation" of God's plan direct from the Throne Room] - and, thus, they are used as "vessels of accusation and condemnation" [reproach] by Satan to malign [revile] that which is truly of God. But as the faithful one maintains a steadfast course in the centre of the Father's will, they will SURELY be vindicated by God Himself, in His perfect timing [see the story of Korah - Numbers 15:37-16:50] - without exception.

WE NEED NOT HAVE ANY FEAR OF PRESUMPTUOUS WORDS OR ACTIONS IF WE SET OURSELVES TO CONTINUALLY ACCESS THE GRACE OF GOD - THROUGH A STEADFAST FAITH AND LOVE OF HIS WILL

        All of God's children should first be "listeners" and not "talkers"! For it is in listening to the still, small voice of the Holy Spirit and, thus, being conformed to the deepest thoughts and intentions of the Father's heart [as one humbles themselves continually before Him] that they will be entrusted with the words to minister in the perfect and divinely ordered timing - and on those words will be found the very power of Heaven itself to bring about the Father's "best" in any given circumstance. It is a holy and precious thing to minister the Word of God in perfect accuracy - a perfect accuracy born of the fervent desire in one's heart to be righteously motivated in all things - at all times. Again, we need not have ANY fear of presumptious words or actions IF we set ourselves to continually access the Grace of God - through a steadfast faith and love of His Will [Word]. The main reason why there has been a lack of power on the words of many "ministers" of God, up until this time, is because they have not placed themselves in a position of ministering unto the Lord in the "inner chamber" [secret place of His Presence] first - a true spiritual positioning that would enable them to both hear and experience in their own walks [life] the purity and power of God's Word. If one refuses to humble themselves ENTIRELY to the highest purposes of God in this hour it is certain that they will not be found as "fit" vessels to carry [administer] the revelations coming forth from the Throne Room in these days - revelations that will be a sure catalyst for entrance into a perfect liberty for all those who truly love God. Truly, those who are "first" [in their own thinking - and presumptuous activity] will be found last in this hour while those who have [seemingly] been "last" [in their faith and patience towards the fullness of the Father's purpose] shall be first [given the necessary platform by the Father, Himself, to accomplish His highest purpose in their own life and ministry - as well as help many others enter into the fullness of their own destiny] - for it is certain that ALL presumptuous activity [all that which is apart from Christ - the Anointed One and His Anointing] will be judged thoroughly [1 Corinthians 3:10-15].


...."So the last shall be first, and the first last".... Matthew 20:16 NASB

...."Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me. "For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. "For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? "For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and WILL THEN REPAY EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS"....
