FIRE BY NIGHT
"Reflections Upon Reflections" [of The Father's Heart]
MARCH 8TH
THE EXERCISING OF LOVE IS "NEVER" IN VAIN [FUTILE]
Words of prophecy:
*
...."This is a time wherein My bondservants and handmaidens who have been
faithful to Me through these years of turmoil and strife and division in the
midst of the congregations, shall be exalted [Proverbs
29:25; Luke 14:11]; for the time wherein the "sinner" seems to
have "prospered" has come to an end! For truly I say to you, there
shall be a great "influx" of demonic activity in every place
[environment]in the midst of My children where there is "ground"
given [through their wilful rebellion], and the "destroyer" shall
come forth to destroy, the "thief" shall come forth to steal and the
"murderer" shall come forth to kill. Only those who have an
"active overcoming faith [love]" abiding in their hearts [these
things being a product of godly diligence and obedience to My command to
separate themselves unto My Word and enter that place of "abiding",
apart from the world] shall come through this time of attack and confrontation
by the Enemy unscathed.
As I look out upon the
hearts of My children, I still see many who are "content" to
some degree to hold the reins of their life [ministry] and, truly I say to you,
this is a most dangerous thing! For Satan will surely take that ground given
and turn that one's heart against My true purposes and plans - and, in
"allowing" themselves to be deceived, they shall surely [as they
continue on their "misguided path"] run directly into the
"point" of the sword of My Spirit in the form of My beloved
handmaidens and bondservants speaking the Word that I give them to speak in
that hour of "confrontation". And many shall be
"grievously" convicted of their sin and their rebellion and many
others shall perish because in their heart they cannot conceive that they
"in themselves" could ever be wrong. Such is the danger of the deep
darkness [Isaiah 60:2] that pervades the nature
of the flesh - and such is the seriousness of the call to close and intimate
fellowship with Me. For indeed, without the "required" time in My
presence one will surely be deceived - and, thus, overcome by a "spirit of
self-exaltation" [spiritual pride - self-righteousness] in this hour.
Have I not spoken before
of this "absolute judgement" upon My household - a time wherein each
man's work shall become evident so that even the deepest thoughts and
intentions and motivations of all who have "taken" My Name shall
become evident [1 Corinthians 3:10-15]? Blessed
is the one who trusts only in Me, for there is nothing that can stop that one
from accomplishing ALL that I have created them for and, in knowing this in
their hearts, they shall enter onto a most glorious path; and they shall be
bright lights in the midst of this crooked and perverse generation - a
generation which causes My wrath and My fury to rise up upon every remembrance
of their existence! Fear not My beloved ones - for I am with you ALWAYS, even
to the end of the age. Hold fast! Continue faithfully in the "small
things" that I might bring forth the "greater things" that I
have prepared for you. Take no pre-conceived notions or thoughts, only abide in
Me - KNOWING that I shall surely reveal to you the deepest thoughts and
intentions of My heart - plans and purposes that will astound and confound the
peoples of the earth. For they shall indeed see My presence abiding in [and
resting upon] all those of My children who truly love Me, to such a great
degree that they will have no comparison from any of their past experiences,
"spiritual" or otherwise, and they shall clearly see that Jesus is
Lord of Lords and King of kings - whether they "choose" to believe it
or not!
For I shall exalt the
name of My beloved Son above "all else" in this last hour, and the
foolish plans of Satan, and all those who choose to believe his lies above My
truth [Word] shall crumble and "evaporate" regardless of how
"omnipotent" they may have appeared to be. I have sat back and waited
for My perfect time to "unleash" the fullness of My Spirit upon the
earth, and truly I say to you, I have prepared a "selected and chosen"
few to lead all those who "truly" love Me, "HOME". Take
heed of these Words! For as the manifestation of My glorious Church comes forth
boldly and triumphantly, it shall be "non-stop" supernaturally until
the catching away of My "spotless and unblemished" Church [Ephesians 5:27]. Go forth to where I lead you and
proclaim boldly My "absoluteness" [the absolute truths and principles
of My Kingdom], and the need for My children to abide in My absolute Provision;
for even now My mighty and glorious angels stand ready - rank upon rank - to
devastate all the forces of darkness, and My holy apostles and prophets stand
ready in "perfect position" to carry out My every Word of command;
for indeed Satan's "day" is over, and he has exhausted every plan and
scheme to divide - and, thus, defeat - those who truly love Me; and, now, I
shall build My true Church through the "supernatural" power of My
Spirit; and, indeed, that same Spirit [the Spirit of love] shall abound in the
hearts of My elect and they shall be tremendous signs and wonders - both in
word and deed - and the fullness of My power shall "inundate" their
every word and all of the nations shall see My sons and daughters as they are
in the fullness of Christ and many, in seeing the "true heritage" of
My children, shall drop ALL to take their place with Me"....
2 Timothy 3:12 NASB
Psalms 26:1 NASB
Isaiah 54:17 The Amplified Translation
All those who have been
faithful to hold fast the vision [dream - revelation] in their heart that the
Father has given them [Habakkuk 2:2-3] will be
vindicated in this hour. We must never allow ourselves to fall into the trap of
being ashamed in standing [in faith] for God's promises, and the vision that He
has blessed us with. Those who truly love Him will be vindicated so thoroughly
in these days that those who took a "wrong position" in their
thinking towards them shall surely be put to shame, themselves. This is very
serious business in the eyes of the Father - as He truly delights in those who
are loyal to Him! We must not think FOR EVEN A MOMENT that we, as His faithful
children, will not be both honoured [by the Father] and proven right[eous] in
every last step of faith and obedience we have taken. We must never bow our
knee to [compromise because of] ANY selfish [fearful and self-exaltive]
thinking and behaviour from those in our "sphere of existence" - and,
thus, give in to the schemes of the Evil One against us. We may not know
exactly what is going on in every circumstance that we are presently involved
in, but I will say this: we soon will. Part of the present situation we [those
who are walking by faith] find ourselves in will be used to formulate a
"certain judgement" against certain individuals who are still putting
themselves [and their own fears] ABOVE the Will of God - for it is certain that
ALL things, ultimately, work together for the greatest good for those who truly
love [obey] Him [Romans 8:28]. As we continue to acknowledge the Father in ALL of our
ways He will direct our paths with great clarity - and, at the same time, we
will have a deep and divine assurance in our heart that EVERYTHING IS STILL
RIGHT ON SCHEDULE concerning the fullness of our destiny, in Christ! It doesn't
matter what it "looks" like or "feels" like to the one who
is truly sold out to faith and trust in the Father and His Word - although it
is certain that reproach [reviling] and resistance are never pleasant. When the
"smoke clears" in this hour those who are found faithful will be
standing in a very esteemed position in the Church and the Kingdom - in the
perfect will of the Father! So, again, we must NEVER allow ourselves to
"get under" condemnation to ANY "words and actions"
[thinking] that differ from the Will of God! In the years that one has been
walking by faith [revelation] it may be that you have always had someone telling
you [subtly - and sometimes not so subtly] that you must have made a mistake
and that you were wrong [not walking in love etc.] - and often it may have
"looked" like they were right - but I am here to tell you that even
though, at times, the "evidence" may have "seemed"
overwhelming in their favour - THEY WERE/ARE WRONG! And now, those who have
come to the place of a perfect heart motivation and attitude of walking in love
[towards both God and man] will be found in a position to love [bless, impart
Grace to] all those who "resisted" them every step of the way - with
a view to them [those who were used as vessels of persecution and reproach]
gaining a revelation of the truth and, themselves, entering into the fullness
of their precious destiny, in Christ. The exercising of Love is NEVER in vain
[futile] [1 Corinthians 15:58] - and, it is
certain, that all those who have "sworn to their own hurt" [Psalm 15:1-5] at all cost to themselves will receive
great reward in this hour - part of that reward being to see those that they
loved [in the face of great adversity - and without that love ever being
returned] set gloriously free to enter into the perfect liberty that is theirs,
in Christ. For Love NEVER fails to accomplish that which Love has set HIS heart
upon [1 Corinthians 13:8a] - our task, then, is
to simply obey Him [the Father], KNOWING that His perfect purpose will be
accomplished in the lives of all those in our sphere of existence - both
spiritually and physically - in this most glorious hour!
Matthew 5:10-12 NASB
