FIRE BY NIGHT
"Reflections Upon Reflections" [of The Father's Heart]
JANUARY 30TH
EVERY PERSON IN THIS EARTH IS WALKING IN A "FORM"
OF OBEDIENCE
Words of prophecy:
* One cannot stand in "faith"
for anyone or anything unless it is My will - and also, that they have a
"revelation" of My Will [Word] to affix their faith to! Many of My
children exercise a "faith" that is not rooted and grounded in love
[a revelation of My will] but rather it is rooted and grounded in their own
"self-desire" [through fear and pride]. As it is written, "The
way of the righteous is level [smooth] and "the way of the transgressor is
hard" - and so, as one exercises a "counterfeit faith" upon the
object or objects of their "self-desire", they blame Satan and his
forces for the "seeming" turmoil and "obstacles" that
spring up before them. They do not realize that, in reality, I am seeking to get
them to turn their attention from that self-desire to a "pure"
[godly] desire to carry out "My" will - and from that position
receive the "necessary revelation" in order that they might affix
their faith [love] to it. It is certain that "mental ascension" to
"any" aspect of My will for one's life shall cause great turmoil and
confusion in their lives and ministries, and there shall be a definite lack of
the peace that passes all understanding - and the joy that continually
strengthens. Tell My children to hold out for My very "best" in
"every" aspect of their lives and ministries. For this is the time of
the advent of My Glorious Church - a Church that shall do nothing and say
nothing apart from a revelation of My Will [Word].
* All that I have for you, My beloved ones,
awaits only your "perfect" obedience.
Romans 6:16 NASB
Every person in this
earth is walking in a "form" of obedience. If one has not submitted
themselves "wholly" to the authority of God and, thus, given His Word
[Will] pre-eminence in their life, then it is most certain that they are slaves
to sin and fear to some degree. On the other hand, one who has submitted
themselves entirely, day in and day out, to the absolute authority of the
Father and His Word, shall be found to be "slaves" unto
righteousness. If one, through a spirit of idolatry, allows themselves to be
deceived into making [heart] "fellowship" with the world and its ways
their priority, then, in the deepest fibre of their being, there remains an
element of rebellion, and unless there is a deep and abiding repentance
forthcoming then God will not be able to use that one in the building up of His
Glorious Church in this final hour. If one continually puts themselves in the
position to hear the fear-filled lies of Satan then, through the fear that is
nurtured [maintained] in them they will come, not to the place of an absolute
submission before [dependence upon] God, but rather to the place of an absolute
dependence upon themselves - building their security upon the "sand"
[their "own" wisdom and understanding] and, thus, preventing the
Father and His Word from being their "all in all" [Ephesians 1:17-23].
EVERY CHILD OF GOD MUST BE "WILLING" TO HEAR THE VOICE OF THE HOLY
SPIRIT IN THIS LAST HOUR
A bondservant or
handmaiden of the Lord can be defined as one who seeks and hears the Word of God
at all times - continually measuring that Word "fully" through
distinct acts of obedience, led and ordered by the unction and power of the
Holy Spirit. Let there be no misunderstanding as to what the Father requires of
each of His precious children, and let us remember with reverential fear what
Jesus said in John 15:5:
...."Apart from Me
you can do nothing"....
Every child of God must be willing [and, therefore,
able] to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit in this last hour for two reasons:
1. so that they might walk in perfect obedience before God - doing
and saying nothing apart from Him [Ephesians 4:29].
2. to walk in the fullness of their inheritance in Christ and,
thus, experience the "fullness" of God's salvation [His all encompassing
provision for deliverance from anything that has its origin in the law of sin
and death and the curse - thus enabling them to walk "above" all the
schemes of Satan that shall surely be formed against them] [Isaiah 54:14-17].
...."All those who
desire to live godly lives in Christ Jesus, shall be persecuted"....
2 Timothy 3:12 NASB
ANY ACTION OR WORD WHICH IS NOT IN PERFECT ALIGNMENT
AND AGREEMENT WITH THE REVEALED WORD OF GOD AND THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS A
MISREPRESENTATION OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AND OF GOD THE FATHER
Let me again repeat,
that ANY word or action that is not in perfect alignment and agreement with the
"revealed" Word of God and the Spirit of God [Who is the Spirit of
Love], is a misrepresentation of the Lord Jesus Christ and of God the Father.
Somewhere along the line, no matter how good it "looks" or sounds,
presently, that word or action will come back to somehow distort the image
[true character and nature] of the Father and Jesus. So we must NEVER discount
even the smallest acts of disobedience as unimportant before the Father but,
rather, let us humble ourselves and submit ourselves before Him in the
"inner chamber" on a daily basis - thus, allowing the Holy Spirit to
do the deepest work of the Cross in us continually. It is the Father's deep
heart-desire to bring each one of us to the place wherein there is no ground
for fear to operate within us [1 John 4:18]. As the Father's love is continually
shed abroad in our hearts [Romans 5:5], THEN
any ground for rebellion, for selfishness or any desire to do anything apart
from Him [His Will] shall be consumed, and our every word and our every deed -
and even our very presence - shall boldly proclaim the spiritual reality:
"it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me"!
