EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[january 18th 2008]

+ All disappointment stems from a "certain" unbelief in My Word [lack of a revelation of My Will] - and, thus, ones faith is misplaced.

+ The only way that My children can hinder and limit Me in their dealings with Me is through a "continued" disobedience - through the pursuit of self-desire.

+ There is a difference between "knowing of" and "knowing" someone. Indeed, there are many who will make you "outcasts" in this hour and, in their "persecution" [reproach] of you they will think that they are offering service to Me, but truly I say to you, they have not known the Father or the Son! "Known of" yes, known - no [John 16:2-4]. Even the most perverse sinners in the earth know of Me, but unless one truly knows Me - that "knowing" derived through intimate fellowship with Me - then they shall surely be entrapped by the spirit of Anti-Christ to persecute the "true Church" in some way. Fear not and rejoice! For through this persecution the "strongholds" of Satan in the midst of My people shall be destroyed.

+ The only people who continually make "mistakes" are those who fear making them [Job 3:25; 2 Timothy 1:7].
