EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[january 1st 2008]


+ My children must never "allow" themselves to be deceived into thinking that ANY form of compromise is acceptable in My sight. For there shall indeed be times when it shall "seem" more profitable to lay aside "obedience", and the pin-point accuracy that I desire from all those who would truly serve Me from a pure heart [John 6:63].

+ There are many of My children whose eyes are fixed on others, and that which they are doing. I did not command My children to keep their eyes fixed on others, I commanded them to keep "their eyes fixed on My Word [Hebrews 12:1-4]!

+ One is always in the position to "do all things"; either all things concerning My Will or all those things that Satan attempts to counterfeit My Will with. To the degree that one is "in Christ", it is to that degree that they can do all those things that proceed from the deepest thoughts and intentions of My heart - concerning My Will for their life and ministry [Philippians 4:13].

+ Those who are truly seeking My Will need never "fear" losing an opportunity to speak those things that I have revealed to their heart. For if, in a certain situation, I call them to "silence" [even though the very things that I have taught them "clearly" seem to be called for in that situation] they can know "by faith" that they will surely be given not only one opportunity, but many opportunities to deliver the revelation[s] that I have blessed them with. Therefore, to the degree that one is "caught up" in time [which in turn has its root in that one seeking to assert "themselves" - the pursuit of self-glory] it is to that degree that a call to silence shall be ignored. For if the soul is "allowed" to assert itself over the spirit-man in ANY way THEN that one shall be rendered deaf, and blinded to the gentle impressions of the heart that originate in My Spirit. But if one is truly willing to do all of My will [John 7:17], THEN, even when they find themselves in a critical situation, they will still be able to hear the still, small voice of My Spirit, and discern even His most gentle impressions upon their heart.
