EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[february 9th 2008]


+ If My children [through faith and revelation] are not continually "controlling" the evil spirits attempting to work around them, and even in them [through them] THEN they are surely being "controlled" by both their circumstances and by those around them to a certain degree. This is because those who are "around them" are those that they have chosen rather than the ones that I have chosen and, thus, the very thing that they feared has come upon them - the fear of being "controlled" by others.

+ All selfishness [fear] amounts to "idolatry" [2 Timothy 1:7].

+ Idolatry is defined as anything or anyone that is given pre-eminence over Me [My Will].

+ Love always seeks My interests [purposes] through an abiding in godly desire, while self always seeks its own interests - through holding to self-desire [self-agenda].

+ Put your trust in the Anointing - not only abiding in you, but the Anointing abiding in all those with whom you have to do [1 John 2:27]. Never trust in anything that has its origin apart from My Spirit - for all that is apart from My Spirit is unrighteously motivated.

+ If any one of My children "maintains" a fear of being "controlled" then they shall surely leave themselves "open" to failure in discerning the voice of My Spirit in "certain" areas of their lives. My children must deal both immediately and harshly with even the subtlest movement of the spirit of fear, and the only way that they can do this is to "abide" in My Word and, in that place, bring EVERY thought captive to a perfect obedience [a revelation of My Will] - through an absolute faith [trust], working through a perfect love.
