FIRE BY NIGHT
"Reflections Upon Reflections" [of The Father's Heart]
FEBRUARY 9TH
ALL THOSE WHO HAVE ALIGNED THEMSELVES WITH THOMAS IN SPIRIT [DOUBT
AND UNBELIEF] HAVE SHUT THEMSELVES OFF FROM THE REVELATION OF THE KINGDOM AND
ITS PRINCIPLES
Words of prophecy:
* The "ground" of
"sin-consciousness" must be "removed" from every one of My
children who truly desire to walk in the fullness of the ministry I have called
them to!
* One must not allow themselves to
"think naturally" for if they do then they remain bound by a
"sin-consciousness", and this will preclude them from receiving My
"best" into their lives - spirit, soul, body and financially!
* Now is the time, My beloved ones, to cast
aside all which has its root in "sin-consciousness". Let all pre-
conceived notions and thoughts as to what I have called you to be, pass away;
and take as your only reality the "revealed" knowledge of My Will.
For in this last hour I am raising up many who will walk in the fullness of all
that I have for them, and they shall surely walk in a degree of power that has
never before been seen in the earth - both individually and corporately - as My
Body. Stretch out your faith upon My ability to make you what I have called you
to be and do not hinder, through unbelief, the wondrous blessings that I have
prepared for you - and all those who are with you. It is indeed time for the
world to see the unlimited power of Almighty God. It is time for My sons and
daughters to go forth in the power of My anointing to devastate the works of
Satan!
Hebrews 11:1 The Amplified Translation
2 Corinthians 4:17-18 NASB
There are yet many
children of God who refuse to believe anything until they "see" it in
the physical realm and/or discern it with their "own" understanding
but we, as children of God, are called to believe even before we
"see" [the physical manifestation of the revelation we are standing
upon]. All those who have aligned themselves with Thomas in spirit [doubt and
unbelief] have shut themselves off from the revelation of the Kingdom and its
principles and, thus, because of this, they have placed themselves in a
position wherein Satan needs only to throw up a few adverse
"circumstances" around them to lead them out of the Father's will for
their lives. And, in continually "believing" only that which they see
and understand through their five physical senses, they continue to base their
every word and action on the "circumstances" rather than on the
"revealed" knowledge of God's Word - and this, of course, is contrary
to the life of faith - and the true Kingdom-service that is its spontaneous
fruit.
EVERY ELEMENT OF "SIN-CONSCIOUSNESS" WILL
BE "ERADICATED" FROM THE MIDST OF ALL THOSE WHO TRULY LOVE GOD IN
THIS FINAL HOUR
There are those in the
church at large that continue to steadfastly maintain [in their thinking] that
we "MUST" make mistakes and most assuredly fall into sin at times -
as if it was somehow God-ordained! These same ones will "praise" God
[with an empty praise - a praise devoid of faith in or love for God] for His
tremendous grace and mercy [and, indeed, His mercy is GREAT] that continually
"picks them up and dusts them off" in their sinfulness - even though
they have no intention of forsaking their sin or seeking a true repentance [one
born of a "godly" sorrow through the convicting presence of the Holy
Spirit]. This "seemingly" humble praise is a direct product of their
desire to still maintain a grip upon their own life and, thus, shut God out, in
order that their selfish "desires" [which, in reality, are apart from
God] might be gratified. If this "unbelief" is "maintained"
in any way then it will never "allow" them to rise above that latent
deception - and, thus, come to that place of abiding in the fullness of the
victory of Calvary and walking in the heights of the authority of the ascension
life and the power of resurrection life. Let us understand clearly once and for
all that every "mistake" [through ignorance or pride] or "error"
[through a maintained rebellion] in ministry is a direct result of an
"improper or partial consecration" unto the Father and His Word [in
the "inner chamber"] - thus leaving the blame not on God or Satan, or
anybody else, but on one's own selfishness and rebellion. To declare that we
"MUST" make mistakes and "MUST" sin from time to time is a
blatant and outright denial, in unbelief, of God's Word and the power of the
Blood of Jesus to "cleanse us from all unrighteousness" [1 John 1:9], and keep us in the place of an
"abiding" holiness. For what God commands He empowers - without
exception!
THE "INCORRUPTIBLE
SEED" OF GOD'S WORD
Satan's main aim
in his attack against the children of God is to keep them in sin [guilt] and
fear - and, thus, under its power. It is not needful for him to develop all
sorts of "elaborate schemes" - unless he runs across a child of God
who has obtained some "revelation" of the deeper things of the
Kingdom. It is then that he must desperately fight with all that he has at his
disposal to try and remove [or bury] [Mark 4:15-19]
the "incorruptible seed" of the Word that has been implanted in that
child of God. It is through the strategy of "wearing-down tactics"
that he - if "allowed" to by the believer - is enabled to accomplish
his task. This is precisely why God has commanded us to continually guard our
heart with ALL diligence - forsaking sin at every turn. This is not because he
is a "mean" God [not letting us do what we want to do], but rather
because He knows that the way to victory and the fullness of our destiny is
through a constant diligence in "maintaining" [cultivating] the
revelation in our heart of ALL that He has blessed us with, in Christ [2 Peter 1:2-4]. It is also the "implanted"
seed of God's Word in our hearts that causes our faith to rise up and become
"developed" to such a degree that we shall readily take the Word of
God and control [devastate] Satan and his activities with it. So then, to
summarize, it is to the degree that one guards their heart with all diligence
that they will experience the "victory" of God in their lives, and it
is to the degree that one fails to maintain their heart before God [through a
diligent "hearing" - a diligent hearing that is the spontaneous
by-product of intimate fellowship with Him in His Presence], that will allow
Satan to keep them in sin and defeat, bound in a "sin-consciousness"
[unworthiness-consciousness - unrighteousness-consciousness] and, eventually -
if he is allowed to control them [direct their paths] long enough - he will be
enabled to destroy them and their ministry to the Body of Christ, through their
OWN foolishness. Let us come to a clear revelation in this most critical hour
of the danger of holding onto a "sin-consciousness" in any of its
deadly forms! For we are called to be a holy people, a people who abide in the
spiritual reality of who we TRULY are in Christ: those who BY HIS DOING have
been made the righteousness of God, in Him [1 Corinthians
1:30].
