EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

                                                            ["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

                                                                                     [january 19th 2008]


+       Many of those who are in "leadership" at this time are walking in "abject" spiritual poverty compared to all that I have for them if they would only lay down their entire lives to walk in a perfect obedience before Me; and, thus, the doubt and unbelief that Satan has sown into their lives has become "embedded" deep within them and given them "hearts of stone" - devoid of sensitivity to the deepest thoughts and intentions of My heart. But truly I say to you, I shall raise up My anointed ones, My holy apostles and prophets, and like a "giant sledgehammer" their words shall shatter the stony places, and every hardened heart that they come upon, as I send them forth [for, indeed, "hardened hearts" do not come to Me therefore I must go to them], shall be "stripped bare", left only to repent and rejoice - or to curse and blaspheme My holy Name to a "greater" degree!

+       The root of all disobedience is rebellion.

+       Selfishness "retained" in the heart and, therefore, in the words and actions of My children, makes them a vessel of "death and darkness" to all those who cross their path.

+       I came not to bring "peace", but a sword
[Matthew 10:34-41]! And so everywhere I send My holy apostles and prophets there shall be a "dividing" take place, for now is the time for ALL to choose their allegiance. They will choose either life or death, light or darkness, healing or sickness and disease, rest and peace, or unrest and anxiety, faith or fear, love or hatred, humility or arrogance [haughtiness], submission to My Word or the pride and rebellion that manifests itself when one rejects My Word that has been "delivered" by My holy bondservants and handmaidens.
