THE LIFE OF FAITH AND THE GLORIOUS CHURCH - 2009
APRIL 6th
EVERYTHING THAT THE FATHER REQUIRES OF US IS BASED ON AN ONGOING
RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM - AND AN ONGOING RELIANCE UPON HIM
Joshua 1:8 NASB
The force of faith -
working from the position of an "abiding" love - is the impetus and
empowerment in ALL true Kingdom-service. In these days, we need to be
"partakers" of the Word on an ongoing basis. We need to be those who
meditate in the Word of God day and night, and continually bring EVERY thought
captive to the revelation knowledge that will be the sure and certain by-product
of our time spent in that diligent meditation before the Father and His Word.
EVERYTHING that the Father requires of us is based on an ongoing relationship
with Him - and an ongoing reliance upon [trust in] Him. If one does not enter
into the place of total reliance upon the Father and His Word in this last hour
then they will SURELY come into a place of total reliance upon themselves [the
lies of the Evil One] - and will not even realize that they have departed from
the perfect will of God for their life and ministry.
WE ARE COMING DOWN TO A TIME OF "ABSOLUTES"!
In the days ahead, those
of God's children who are truly seeking Him with ALL of their heart will be
very, very conscious of the fact that they are abiding in the center of His
perfect will for their life and ministry. The darkness and the
"pressures" are going to increase continually in this last hour, but
so is the presence of the Glory of God in those whose hearts are faithful
toward Him. We are coming down to a time of "absolutes". One can no
longer have one foot moving towards the Kingdom and one foot in the
"world". Every last person shall be brought to the point of an
absolute decision - either for God [and His Will] or for themselves. In this
last hour, if one's heart is inclined towards the "world" then it
will be pulled "fully" into its ways [drawn in the same way a magnet
draws iron filings]. On the other hand, if one's heart is inclined towards the Kingdom
and the fulness of the Father's purpose THEN that heart will surely be brought
into an abiding and proper positioning before Him. Every child of God must come
to the deep realization of the fact that when it comes right down to it all
that matters is what God has said, what God has done - and what God is doing!
If one is abiding in the center of the God's will then not only will they
overcome in ALL things, but they shall be used by the Father to turn and
devastate the very "ground" in the people that the Enemy is using
against them [1 John 4:18]. Because of this,
many captives shall be gloriously set free in the days just ahead because they
will have been put in the presence of a Living [Loving] God by all those who
have made it their priority to be pure and holy vessels.
