EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[january 31ST 2008]


+ This is a time of great persecution [reproach], My beloved ones, for all those who are entering into the fullness of their Kingdom-position. The Evil One is pulling out all stops in a futile attempt to derail the progress of My faithful ones into the fullness of their precious destiny, in Christ. Hold fast in a steadfast faith, love and patience - for as you do, you shall SURELY enter into the fullness of all that I have planned for you [Habakkuk 2:2-4].

+ All that remains for the "fullness" of the outpouring of My Spirit to be manifested in the earth is for the "absoluteness" of My Word to be preached in the "fullness" of conviction - through My holy vessels.

+ The "compromising" in ministry is not necessarily manifested in the actual spoken word. The root of all compromise in the ministry of My Word is found in "adulterous action" [fellowship with the world and its ways] and unrighteous motivation [self-seeking] in the heart of the one ministering! Therefore, it is only as My children diligently seek me from the position of a heart "wholly given" that they will experience the assurance deep within that every word they speak is spoken in the "fullness" of conviction [the absolute truth in love].

+ The most "selfish" thing that anyone can do - in any given moment - is to disobey Me.

+ Many of My people seem so surprised at the manifestations of My power in these days because, up until this time, they have maintained - deep in the recesses of their heart - the "idea" that they were somehow capable of assisting Me and carrying out My will by the strength of their own hand. All those who have a deep revelation of the fact that they can do absolutely nothing that is OF Me, that is apart FROM Me [My Power] [John 15:5], view this tremendous "outpouring" simply as a much needed progression in the fulfilment of My highest aims and purposes for both the nations, and the entire Body of Christ.
