EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[january 7th 2008]


+ Which outweighs which as one "holds" to the desire to "keep part back" from Me in certain aspects of their life and ministry? The burning desire to exalt oneself through self-effort, or the fear of not being able to have complete control over their own life and ministry - which is based on an absolute mistrust, and refusal to acknowledge My Word [Will] and, which, is fuelled by the desire to operate independent of My Provision?

+ If the power of My anointing was flowing freely in the midst of the congregations the way I desire it to be then one would rather "die" [to self] than commit any "blatant" act of sin or presumption!

"blatant" - obvious;

+ The words, "I can not wait" should never be spoken by one of My children! For living fully the life I have called them to live hinges completely upon both their willingness and their obedience to the command to "wait upon Me" [minister unto Me through an active obedience]. It is a most dangerous thing for My children to forsake waiting upon Me in any way! For if they are in a "position" apart from waiting for the revelation of My Word [Will] and the unction of My Spirit THEN, surely, they will be found to be in a position wherein their "own" desires [self-desire] are their priority and, thus, they shall be found seeking to please [exalt] themselves with no thought whatsoever for the true work of the Kingdom. This is something that each one of My children must guard diligently against falling into. For even though there are times of "seeming inactivity", and they are called upon to exercise a perfect patience, in that time an absolute "emptying" of their souls takes place that shall prepare them perfectly to receive My absolute best for EVERY facet of their lives.
