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 19TH
THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING FAITHFUL IN THE "LITTLE THINGS"
Words of Prophecy
* "Boredom"
is a certain symptom of a hardness of heart towards Me, a hardness of heart
caused by a degree of conformity to the "world" and the
"enmity" that that conformity produces. For when one of My children
chooses to conform to the ways of the world to ANY degree, it is to that degree
that "self" is still on the throne of their heart. If one experiences
"boredom" then it is certain that they have "wilful
disobedience" in their lives.
"enmity" - a
feeling or condition of hostility tending to display itself in action [or inaction - as the case may be]; hatred; ill
will;
* Although the
physical positioning [location - residence]
that I have many of My children in presently is "temporary" [as they are being prepared by My Spirit to move forth into
the "fullness" of their precious destiny in Christ] that which
I establish in their heart in this particular season will be Eternal. For in
these days, it is of extreme importance for those who are truly seeking first
the Kingdom to "allow" Me to establish both the proper [profitable] and necessary "patterns" [of obedience] in their daily life [in even the smallest details and habits] [Luke 16:10]
- the fruit of this "establishing" being that when My blessings [which are superabundant] begin to "overtake"
them in this most glorious hour they will already have been established in the
place of "abiding" in spiritual reality
[revelation, odedience] - and, thus, they will not set their heart on
the "increase" but, rather, they will simply enter into the fullness
of all that I have planned for them with great peace and joy - and My Grace [divine empowerment] will continually abound towards
them right through to the end of the age.
...."All
things are legitimate [permissible - and we are free to do anything we please],
but not all things are helpful [expedient, profitable, and wholesome]. All
things are legitimate, but not all things are constructive [to character] and
edifying [to spiritual life]".... 1 Corinthians 10:23 The Amplified Translation
...."If
[when] riches increase, do not set your heart upon them".... Psalms 62:10
NASB
...."And
God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that always having all
sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good [righteous]
deed".... 2 Corinthians 9:8 NASB
...."Let us
not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow
weary. So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and
especially to those who are of the household of the faith".... Galatians
6:9-10 NASB
...."He who
is faithful in a very little [thing] is faithful also in much".... Luke
16:10a The Amplified Translation
"boredom" - dullness;
depression; weariness;
There is no such
thing as "boredom" in the Kingdom! Therefore, if one finds themselves
"bored" it is certain that there is an adjustment "they"
must make. Things will never change - nor will one be in position to receive
the "fullness" of their inheritance [salvation]
- if they continue to do the same
things [in unbelief] day after day. They
must make whatever adjustment they need to make [in
obedience] as they position themselves to hear the still, small
voice of the Holy Spirit - and, as they do exactly what He instructs them to do
for it is then that they will be found faithful in the "little"
things and, thus, entrusted with much authority and power in the Kingdom in
this most critical and glorious hour.
