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

                                                WE MUST ALL BE ON GUARD WITH "ALL" DILIGENCE IN THIS FINAL HOUR

Words of prophecy:

JESUS:

* The "unbelief" [religious spirits] and the "hardness of heart" were the toughest things that I had to face in My earthly ministry - and so shall it be with you, My faithful ones. Rejoice! For I have anointed you to carry out every task with a pin-point accuracy and, truly I say to you, you shall both expose and devastate every religious stronghold that crosses your path in this most glorious hour.

THE FATHER:

* The reason that, up until this time, the "religious spirits" and the "self-exaltive" spirits have been "allowed" to walk in the midst of My people "virtually unchallenged" is because - for the most part - My children have not been "consistent" in their obedience to My command to guard their heart with "all" diligence - in order that they might be found abiding in a perfect love! And thus, their discernment has been impaired and their eyes have been blinded to a certain degree by a "spirit of darkness". But truly I say to you, as they come into the place of abiding in the "inner chamber" that I "require" of them they shall soon "see" what has been going on in their midst, and they shall immediately turn on Satan and his forces and drive them out from the midst of their congregations! If those in "leadership" do not "challenge" - and thus drive out - "all" Satanic activity in the midst of their congregation then truly I say to you, that "activity" shall increase in this hour! But as they are faithful and diligent in their "gatekeeping" truly I say to you there shall be great victory and the corporate anointing in their midst will reach proportions that they would not have thought possible this side of Heaven, itself!


...."Now we have not received the spirit [that belongs to] the world, but the [Holy] Spirit Who is from God, [given to us] that we might realize and comprehend and appreciate the gifts [of divine favor and blessing so freely and lavishly] bestowed on us by God. And we are setting these truths forth in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the [Holy] Spirit, combining and interpreting spiritual truths with spiritual language [to those who possess the Holy Spirit]. But the natural, nonspiritual man does not accept or welcome or admit into his heart the gifts and teachings and revelations of the Spirit of God, for they are folly (meaningless nonsense) to him; and he is incapable of knowing them [of progressively recognizing, understanding, and becoming better acquainted with them] because they are spiritually discerned and estimated and appreciated. But the spiritual man tries all things [he examines, investigates, inquires into, questions, and discerns all things], yet is himself to be put on trial and judged by no one [he can read the meaning of everything, but no one can properly discern or appraise or get an insight into him]. For who has known or understood the mind (the counsels and purposes) of the Lord so as to guide and instruct Him and give Him knowledge? But we have the mind of Christ (the Messiah) and do hold the thoughts (feelings and purposes) of His heart. [Isa. 40:13]"....

          The "activities" [schemes] of the various "religious spirits" still operating in the midst of many congregations [environments] are about to escalate in their attempt to [not so subtly] remove those who are truly seeking the fullness of the Father's will for their lives and ministries [and, thus, the "fullness" of the authority that is theirs in Christ] from the Word [Will]of God, and the fellowship in the "inner chamber" that is so important for receiving the revelation knowledge that causes us to overcome in ALL things. Therefore, we must all be on guard with "all" diligence and keep ourselves in the proper position to continually "rise above" the schemes of the Evil One to "derail" us in this most critical hour.

  "BLESSED ARE THE PURE IN HEART FOR THEY SHALL SEE"....

          Only those who are "pure" in heart will be found helping [cooperating with and understanding] those who are truly seeking first the Kingdom in this final hour. So when you see someone who is "truly" helping you THEN you can "know" that they have a heart "towards" the Father and His Will - because those whose heart is not "wholly given" [Luke 10:27] will most certainly be used in Satan's attempt to hinder the plans of God at every turn. It is written, "Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall SEE the Kingdom of God" [Matthew 5:8]. Only those who are "pure in heart" will even recognize the Will of the Father in this hour and great shall be their reward - both in this age and in the ages to come. Having said all this: the negative side is that those whose hearts are not "wholly given" to the Will of God will not be able to "see" the Kingdom [and the Father's plans thereof] regardless of how "spiritual"/or "religious" they deem themselves - and this, without exception!

WE WILL NEED EVERY LAST OUNCE OF THE GLORIOUS PROVISION THAT THE FATHER HAS BLESSED US WITH IN CHRIST IN ORDER TO CONTINUALLY "REMAIN ABOVE" THE EVIL ONE AND HIS SCHEMES IN THIS FINAL HOUR!

          As the "revelatory" words spoken forth by the true servants of God are received [assimilated] into the hearts of those God has sent them to, and also has sent to them, [in many cases, these will be "pastors" {shepherds} who have finally come to the realization that the "gifts" [apostles, prophets, Third Day teachers] of God are for their greatest benefit and not to hurt them in "any" way] those who will hear shall then turn and, in obedience to the Holy Spirit, "feed" their flocks with the perfect food and nourishment from the Throne Room, itself, that the Father has provided in that time through His holy vessels. Thus, shall strong and glorious true spiritual environments [congregations of the righteous] begin to be established throughout the entire earth, and the captives shall begin to be set free in vast numbers - immediately turning against Satan and his forces with hearts wholly given to God. From this, one can see clearly the "supernatural increase" that will take place in the Glorious Church in our remaining time in the earth and how important it is for each and every one of us to be "perfectly ready" for this soon coming "explosion" of God's grace and power throughout the remnant Church in "every" nation. This is a "moment in time" like no other before it. Let us receive [be found appropriating] the "fullness" of the authority that is ours in the Anointed One and His Anointing for it is certain that we will need every last ounce of the glorious Provision that the Father has blessed us with [in Christ] in order to continually "remain above" the Evil One and his schemes - both individually and corporately - in this most glorious hour.

Words of prophecy:

*       These are the days wherein I shall judge ALL self-righteousness [pride] in the midst of My people. Therefore, let all those who truly love Me set themselves in a position before Me each day in the "inner chamber" that I might be "allowed" to examine their heart to reveal [expose] any motivation that is apart from Me, therein. Many still attempt to make it on their "own" strength [understanding] in their "service" to Me - but that can never be [John 15:5]. In this hour, the Enemy has sent a horde of extremely "vile" demonic forces to stop the advent of My Glorious Church, and they will attack ANY ground before them in the the hearts of My people that is rooted in unrighteousness and, because of this "ground" they will "compel" them [exert great pressure] to do and say that which is "misrepresentitive" of My true character - and, through all these things, those that hold to self-righteousness will "revile" My true servants, and they shall cast them out from their midst. But truly I say to you, they shall reap My unrestrained wrath [righteous indignation] and, thus, the fruit of their words and actions shall be made known to all [1 Corinthians 3:10-15].  For I will no longer tolerate the mistreatment of those who have been faithful and obedient to Me [My Will] at all cost to themselves and, thus, it is certain that I will humble all those who have exalted themselves while, at the same time exalting [giving a platform to] all those who have truly humbled themselves before Me [entered into a complete dependence and trust in Me] [Matthew 23:11-12]. Again, apart from an "abiding revelation" of the Cross they will not be able to discern [believe] those that I send to them in theses days for their edification and prosperity [divine well-being]. Let all those who truly love Me be found forsaking every unrighteous motivation towards Me for it is ONLY the pure in heart that will have eyes to see and ears to hear in this most critical and glorious hour [Matthew 5:8].

"vile" - repulsive; debased; depraved; vicious; foul; evil;

"compel" - to force or drive to a course of action; to secure or bring about by force; to overpower; to have a powerful and irresistible effect, influence;


...."And His gifts were [varied; He Himself appointed and gave men to us] some to be apostles (special messengers), some prophets (inspired preachers and expounders), some evangelists (preachers of the Gospel, traveling missionaries), some pastors (shepherds of His flock) and teachers. His intention was the perfecting and the full equipping of the saints (His consecrated people), [that they should do] the work of ministering toward building up Christ's body (the church), [That it might develop] until we all attain oneness in the faith and in the comprehension of the [full and accurate] knowledge of the Son of God, that [we might arrive] at really mature manhood (the completeness of personality which is nothing less than the standard height of Christ's own perfection), the measure of the stature of the fullness of the Christ and the completeness found in Him. So then, we may no longer be children, tossed [like ships] to and fro between chance gusts of teaching and wavering with every changing wind of doctrine, [the prey of] the cunning and cleverness of unscrupulous men, [gamblers engaged] in every shifting form of trickery in inventing errors to mislead. Rather, let our lives lovingly express truth [in all things, speaking truly, dealing truly, living truly]. Enfolded in love, let us grow up in every way and in all things into Him Who is the Head, [even] Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). For because of Him the whole body (the church, in all its various parts), closely joined and firmly knit together by the joints and ligaments with which it is supplied, when each part [with power adapted to its need] is working properly [in all its functions], grows to full maturity, building itself up in love"....
