THE LIFE OF FAITH AND THE GLORIOUS CHURCH - 2009
MARCH 7th
WHEN THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM AND REVELATION [HE IS ALSO THE SPIRIT OF
LOVE] IS THE PREDOMINANT FORCE IN ONE'S LIFE THEN THE SPONTANEOUS OUTFLOW IN
WORD AND DEED WILL ALWAYS BE IN PERFECT ACCORDANCE WITH THE FATHER'S HEART
Proverbs 3:5-8 NASB
All that the
Father is doing in these days in the hearts of His children [the refining
process] is making a way for His love to flow forth unhindered through them.
Each and every one of God's children have a great purpose in the Kingdom, but
it must be clearly understood by each one truly seeking the fullness of the
Father's purpose that there is a distinct call and command to ACKNOWLEDGE Him
in ALL of their ways. He will [and is already] directing perfectly the path of
all those whose heart has been wholly given to Him. When the Spirit of wisdom
and revelation [He is also the Spirit of love] is the predominant force in
one's life THEN the spontaneous outflow in word and deed will ALWAYS be in
perfect accordance with the Father's heart [as long as that one is truly
seeking God and, thus, seeking to be righteously motivated in ALL things]. If
there is something that rises up from the flesh from time to time - then it is
easily recognizable, and can be quickly repented of by one whose heart is
"wholly" given because [in their continued faithfulness] their heart
will remain both sensitive and flexible [yielding] to the direction of the Holy
Spirit.
ALL THOSE WHO TRULY LOVE GOD [THOSE WHO
HAVE DRAWN NEAR TO HIM IN FAITHFULNESS AND OBEDIENCE] CAN HAVE THE DEEP
ASSURANCE IN THIS HOUR [REGARDLESS OF CIRCUMSTANCES] THAT THEY ARE "RIGHT
ON SCHEDULE" AS FAR AS THE FATHER'S PERFECT PURPOSE FOR THEM GOES - BOTH
INDIVIDUALLY AND CORPORATELY
These are glorious days - days in which the Father is pouring out His love upon
[and within] His faithful ones. What those who are wholly given to the highest
purposes of God are experiencing in this hour [sometimes in a very intense way]
is simply a deeper acclimatization to the Father's love in "perfect" preparation
for the glorious days ahead. His presence is a holy fire that consumes any
"dross" within us - dross being defined as any remaining ground of
fear [fear rooted in our past experience and relationships apart from Christ].
All those who truly love God [those who have drawn near to Him in faithfulness
and obedience] can have the deep assurance in this hour [regardless of
circumstances] that they are "right on schedule" as far as the
Father's perfect purpose for them goes - both individually and corporately.
