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

[Part 41]


* We must always be found believing the best of [and for] all those who cross our path HOWEVER it has been my experience over many years that unless one who has been used against us by the Enemy [whether they know it or not] in the past speaks words out of their mouth indicating that they were wrong [unrighteous] in their attitudes and words towards a person or a situation [and, thus, asks for forgiveness] THEN that same seed [ground] the Enemy used previously is still in their heart - and can be "activated" again against us at the Enemy's bidding when it suits his purpose. It must be clearly understood by every child of God that as long as there is ANY form of wilful self-agenda remaining in one's life and ministry they CANNOT be trusted [will not be found trustworthy] - for "self" ALWAYS runs cross-grain to the highest Will and purpose of the Father.

...."Many a man proclaims his own loyalty, but who can find a trustworthy man/woman?".... Proverbs 20:6 NASB


* One can NEVER suffer "loss" in the true sense of the word when they have laid their life down to pursue the fullness of destiny with ALL of their heart. For in the Kingdom what many in the world would deem "loss" is, in reality, great gain - both now and throughout Eternity.

...."I count everything as loss compared to the possession of the priceless privilege [the overwhelming preciousness, the surpassing worth, and supreme advantage] of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord and of progressively becoming more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him [of perceiving and recognizing and understanding Him more fully and clearly]. For His sake I have lost everything and consider it all to be mere rubbish [refuse, dregs], in order that I may win [gain] Christ [the Anointed One]".... Philippians 3:8 The Amplified Translation


* "Proclamation" increases one's faith - as faith "comes" [is exercised and increases] by hearing. That is precisely why it is so important for a child of God to "speak" a revelation of His Word "out loud". For what we speak out loud we also "hear" - both outwardly [superceding the lying and fear-filled thoughts of the Enemy] and in the depths of our being [strengthening and edifying the heart].

...."So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God".... Romans 10:17 KJV

...."Now faith is the assurance [the confirmation, the title deed] of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses]".... Hebrews 11:1 The Amplified Translation


* NO ONE [and I do mean NO ONE] has the right to hinder another in their diligent pursuit of the Lord - and if there is not a deep and thorough repentance in this hour many who have abused [hindered] the "sheep" will find themselves out in the "outer darkness" looking in [on the outside looking in] to the Father's wonderful plan for the Glorious Church.

...."But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you shut off the kingdom of heaven from people; for you do not enter in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in".... Matthew 23:13 NASB
