EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

                                                           ["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

                                                                                    [february 1ST 2008]


+       A "full realization" [revelation] of My Will [Word] means certain "action" [in faith, love, and obedience] [James 2:17]!

+       There is a form of "soulish gratification" that comes from words and actions of unforgiveness and bitterness and hatred. My children must always guard against falling into this "trap" [self-vindication through self-justification] by continually denying their self-life - through the bringing of EVERY thought, word and deed into perfect conformity with a steadfast love and obedience. For failure to do so shall SURELY "allow" Satan inroads [an open door] into their "circumstances".

+       Any action carried out [or word spoken] apart from the "revealed" knowledge of My Word, and the unction of My Spirit, constitutes wickedness [unrighteousness] in My sight
[Ephesians 4:29].

+       One cannot sow in fear and selfishness and expect to reap love - My manifested presence in their circumstances
[Galatians 6:7-9].

+       As My "intercessors" [faithful ones] continually allow My Spirit to do the deepest work of the Cross in them they shall experience two manifestations in their lives in this hour. First, they shall experience the fullness of freedom [perfect liberty] that comes from the absolute removal of any "ground" of fear [pride] within them. Secondly, because of their intercessions over the years, the hearts of My children are now turning wholly to Me and, thus, My "intercessors" are freed up to fellowship with Me in My presence "far above" the daily rigors of their "former warfare". For I shall hand the torch of intercession to "others", and I shall continually speak forth My absolute [perfect] Will and purposes to all those who have laid their lives down these many years. Because of these things, they shall be prepared perfectly for this next phase [operation] concerning My Body. This is not to say that they will not "intercede", but it is to say that their "intercession" will be their very life [presence] - as I send them forth into the midst of the congregations. For, truly I say to you, they shall be "walking ultimatums" before all those who cross their path
[John 7:38] and, thus, many shall be brought to the point of "absolute decision" - either totally for Me [My Will] or against Me. And as I pour forth My Spirit through these holy vessels, all sin, darkness and fear shall be "driven out" from before them [Proverbs 12:28], and there shall be a continued "momentum" in the midst of all those who truly love Me that will continue to expand and accelerate right up until the moment that I catch My Church up to be with Me - to live [abide] in My Presence forever.

JESUS:

+       Always remember: I am coming TO My Church before I come FOR My Church!
