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
SEPTEMBER 30TH
NUGGETS FROM THE "INNER CHAMBER"
[Part 29]
* All
"true beauty" initiates from within - and what a wonderful sight it
is [to those who love the Lord] to
behold [the beauty of the Lord] in one
who dwells in the Presence of the Lord.
...."When
Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tables of the Testimony in his
hand, he did not know that the skin of his face shone and sent forth beams by reason of his speaking
with the Lord. When Aaron and all the Israelites saw Moses, behold, the skin of
his face shone, and they feared to come near him".... Exodus 34:29-30 The
Amplified Translation
...."One
thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek, inquire for, and
[insistently] require: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord [in His
presence] all the days of my life, to behold and gaze upon the beauty [the
sweet attractiveness and the delightful loveliness] of the Lord and to
meditate, consider, and inquire in His temple".... Psalms 27:4 The
Amplified Translation
* The GREAT
importance [necessity] of true
"corporate anointing" [and the continual
flow of Divine Love between those who truly love God] in this very
critical hour grows clearer and clearer with each passing day.
...."Behold,
how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity! It is
like the precious oil upon the head, coming down upon the beard, even Aaron's
beard, coming down upon the edge of his robes. It is like the dew of Hermon
Coming down upon the mountains of Zion; For there the LORD commanded the
blessing - life forever".... Psalms 133:1-3 NASB
* The Enemy's main
priority is to keep God's children away from the "inner chamber" [the secret place of God's Presence] - which is
the place of "divine empowerment" and revelation. He knows that if he
can do that he can continue to control them [through
fear and pride] to some degree - as well as keep them away from the
revelation and continual accessing of Grace that will do him GREAT harm on a
daily basis.
...."Your
people will volunteer freely in the day of Your power; In holy array, from the
womb of the dawn [the "inner chamber"]"....
Psalms 110:3 NASB
...."You
will make known to me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In
Your right hand there are pleasures forever".... Psalms 16:11 NASB
...."the
joy of the LORD is your strength".... Nehemiah 8:10b NASB
* When one walks in a
place of closeness and intimacy with the Father [and
His Word] THEN the spontaneous fruit of that right relationship will
be continual thanksgiving to Him - and for all those who allow Him to work
through them.
...."He
who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who
loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose
Myself to him.......... If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father
will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him"....
John 14:21-23 NASB
...."He who
offers a sacrifice of thanksgiving honors Me; And to him who orders his way
aright I shall show the salvation of God".... Psalms 50:23 NASB
...."O
come, let us sing for joy to the LORD, let us shout joyfully to the rock of our
salvation. Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving, let us shout
joyfully to Him with psalms. For the LORD is a great God and a great King above
all gods".... Psalms 95:1-3 NASB
