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
FEBRUARY 4TH
TO BE FOUND APART FROM THIS PERFECT POSITIONING IN THE SPIRIT IN
THIS FINAL HOUR IS TO BE FOUND IN ABJECT DARKNESS CONCERNING THE WILL OF THE
FATHER [BOTH INDIVIDUALLY AND CORPORATELY] - AND, THUS, IN A PLACE FAR, FAR
BELOW THEIR TRUE KINGDOM-POSITION!
Words of prophecy:
* If one "fellowships" with
the world then they are going to think as the world thinks and act as the world
acts! If one "fellowships" with Me in My Kingdom then they shall think
as I think and act as I act!
* Seeking first My kingdom and self-denial
run hand in hand.
* Each and every one of My children have a
very important job [position] in My Kingdom, and they need to start speaking
and acting like they truly believe it!
* Many of My children are still caught
up in the "blessing syndrome"! By this I mean that they have set
their sights upon continued "blessing" for themselves [without
putting others first] and, thus, they not only hinder My ability to release all
that I have prepared for them from before the foundations of the earth [Ephesians 2:10; Psalm 84:10-12] but they lessen
their "capacity" to be a blessing. For indeed all blessing that I
direct toward My children is always given with a view to blessing others [Genesis 12:1-3], and this blessing of others is
directly linked to the "establishment" of My Church and Kingdom. If
any of My children lose sight of the fact that they are called to seek first
the establishment of My Kingdom in righteousness, then regardless of how good
their intentions and motivations look "outwardly"; and regardless of
even how much so- called fruit they "appear" to bear, they will be
nowhere near the place [true Kingdom-position] that I would have them be! Truly
I say to you, every blessing [element of divine prosperity] that I have for My
children is set out in a manner that will allow them to bring to all who cross
their path those things that will allow them to experience My greatest
"eternal benefit". In other words, although many consider themselves
a great blessing to the church, they are not even on the same
"wavelength" with Me - for "self" is still on the throne of
their heart to a certain degree! In many cases, what may seem to be a simple or
"seemingly meaningless" instruction is, in reality, the door through
which I am enabled to "pour forth" a superabundance of My blessing
and, thus, shall the needs of the people be met - and, thus, shall the captives
be set free! My children must never "allow" themselves to be caught
"mentally ascending" to any aspect of My will for their lives; for it
is through an "absolute faithfulness" and obedience, even in the
smallest details, that I am enabled to show Myself [and all that I Am] - to the
greatest degree.
...."For this reason
also, since the day we heard of it, we have not ceased to pray for you and to
ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual
wisdom and understanding, so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord,
to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing
in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all power, according to His glorious
might, for the attaining of all steadfastness and patience; joyously giving
thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the
saints in Light. For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred
us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the
forgiveness of sins"....
Colossians 1:9-14 NASB
...."Then those who feared
the LORD spoke to one another, and the LORD gave attention and heard it, and a
book of remembrance was written before Him for those who fear the LORD and who
esteem His name. 'They will be Mine," says the LORD of hosts, on the day
that I prepare My own possession, and I will spare them as a man spares his own
son who serves him. So you will again distinguish between the righteous and the
wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve Him. For behold,
the day is coming, burning like a furnace; and all the arrogant and every
evildoer will be chaff; and the day that is coming will set them ablaze, says
the LORD of hosts, so that it will leave them neither root nor branch. But for
you who fear My name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its
wings; and you will go forth and skip about like calves from the stall. You
will tread down the wicked, for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet
on the day which I am preparing," says the LORD of hosts"....
Malachi 3:16-4:3 NASB
There are many in the
church at large who still have a very shallow "revelation" of the
Father's heart [Love and Wisdom] and, therefore, they cannot - and, indeed, do
not - understand His glorious plan for the remainder of the Church Age. Because
of this, there are also many different views in the midst of God's people
concerning the unfolding of end-time events. One thing is certain: EVERY child
of God truly desiring to fulfil their destiny in Christ MUST come to truly KNOW
the heart of the Father - and His GREAT love for them. For it is ONLY from this
place of revelation [the spontaneous by-product of deep intimacy with Him in
the "inner chamber"] that they will be found overcoming the
"sin-consciousness" [unworthiness-consciousness] that, up until this
time, has continued to plague [curse] many of God's people - nor will they be
in a position to understand [comprehend] or righteously discern ALL things! For
one to be found apart from this perfect positioning in the Spirit [Ephesians 2:6] in this final hour is for them to be
found in abject darkness concerning the will of the Father [both individually
and corporately] - and, thus, in a place far, far below their true
Kingdom-position!
THE FAILURE OF ONE TO ABIDE IN PERFECT FELLOWSHIP
WITH THE FATHER AND HIS WORD IN THIS LAST OF THE LAST HOUR WILL SURELY RESULT
IN THE "FUELLING" OF THE REBELLIOUS SPIRIT WORKING IN THAT ONE'S LIFE
Again, the FAILURE of
one to abide in perfect fellowship with the Father and His Word in this last of
the last hour will SURELY result in the "fuelling" of the rebellious
spirit working in that one's life, and a spinning off into the deep darkness [Isaiah 60:2] that is even now engulfing the
"world" - and all those who continue to live by its self-promoting
creeds and doctrines [fear, pride, self-exaltation etc]. Each one of us, as
children of God, need to have a strong heart-desire to be filled to overflowing
with the Holy Spirit in this most critical hour - in order that we might
continually radiate His light in the midst of a crooked, perverse and
rebellious generation [Philippians 2:15]. In
these days, it will now become evident as to whether one is under the influence
of the Spirit of Christ [the Holy Spirit] or the spirits of anti-christ. The
admonition to "Choose this day whom you will serve!" found in Joshua
chapter 24 has never been more in the forefront than it is in these days. The
failure of one to make the "right choice" [concerning the will of the
Father] from the position of a heart "wholly given" [Luke 10:27] will SURELY cause them to be found
serving in some way those "forces" opposing the true works of God.
THE KINGDOM AND THE "WORLD" ARE POLES
APART
The Kingdom and
the "world" are literally poles apart and, thus, the heart-attitude
of EVERY Christian in these days must be to seek a revelation of the Father's
heart concerning whatever endeavors He has given them to pursue - in order that
they might gain a deep understanding of the fulness of "His" purpose
in all that He is leading them into. In these days, there will be much
revelation knowledge coming forth from the Throne Room - revelation knowledge
that will displace the many "methods" and "formulas"
[traditions of men and false doctrines] that, up until this time, many areas of
the church have held to. Unknown [although they should have known] to those who
have held fast to them these methods and formulas are rooted and grounded in
the wisdom of this world - the deepest motivation being "gain"
[increase] through a spirit of self-exaltation and greed. Anything gained - or
built - through a reliance upon the flesh [the darkened wisdom of the world] in
the name of Jesus will become very evident in these days, and shown for what it
truly is in the eyes of the Father: absolute futility and vanity as far as the
establishment of the Church and Kingdom goes [John
15:5; John 6:63]! There are many who believe that the "plans"
they have formulated are of God when, in reality, they are not. Regardless of
how good a thing "looks" - unless it is rooted and grounded in Christ
it will SURELY by the wayside in this last hour as the fire of the Holy Spirit
comes to expose all that which is truly of the Kingdom and that which has its
origin in the "world" - and the spirit thereof [1 Corinthians3:10-15].
FROM THE ASHES
OF THIS FIERY JUDGEMENT A NEW DAY SHALL DAWN IN THE MIDST OF ALL THOSE WHO
TRULY LOVE GOD
As mentioned previously,
many great "Kingdom-revelations" shall come forth from the Throne
Room in this season and, when acted upon in perfect obedience by the one who
truly "hears", many great and righteous works will be accomplished in
a very short time. This will affect and impact greatly the lives of vast
multitudes - as finally the "Living Christ" shall be seen front and
center in [and through] all those who are truly serving Him. This tremendous
outpouring of holy fire through a holy people will turn all that is of the
"world" and its ways in the midst of the church upside down - and
from the "ashes" of this fiery judgement a new day shall dawn in the
midst of all those who truly love God!
...."When the Lord has
washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion and purged the bloodshed of
Jerusalem from her midst, by the spirit of judgment and the spirit of burning, THEN the LORD will create over the whole area of
Mount Zion and over her assemblies a cloud by day, even smoke, and the
brightness of a flaming fire by night; for over all the glory will be a canopy.
There will be a shelter to give shade from the heat by day, and refuge and
protection from the storm and the rain"....
Isaiah 4:4-6 NASB
