[Reflections Of The Father's Heart]
February 8th 2012
+ Worry [anxiousness] is unbelief while "concern" rising up in one's heart is simply an "alert" for one to focus their faith on whatever aspect of the Covenant needs to be "activated" on their part.
...."Who is the man who fears the LORD? He will instruct him in the way he should choose. His soul will abide in prosperity, and his descendants will inherit the land. The secret of the LORD is for those who fear [reverence] Him, and He will make them know His covenant".... Psalms 25:12-14 NASB
...."the lovingkindness of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear [reverence] Him, and His righteousness to children's children, to those who keep His covenant and remember His precepts to do them".... Psalms 103:17-18 NASB
...."Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus".... Philippians 4:6-7 NASB

January 24th 2012
+ I call each and every one of My children to a life of prayer and fasting - "prayer" being defined as constant communication with Me and "fasting" [the fasted life] being defined as obedience to Me in even the smallest details of one's life and ministry.
...."pray without ceasing".... 1 Thessalonians 5:17 NASB
...."He who is faithful in a very little thing is faithful also in much; and he who is unrighteous in a very little thing is unrighteous also in much".... Luke 16:10 NASB

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER
[Reflections Of The Father's Heart]
January 17th 2012
+ "Perfect obedience" perfectly positions one to be continually "overtaken" by my divine blessings. For perfect obedience is the spontaneous fruit of an "abiding" [indwelling] faith and love - an abiding faith and love that continually accesses My Grace and "activates" the fullness [every aspect] of their precious Covenant with Me, in Christ.
"perfect obedience" - the seeking after and gaining a "revelation" of God's Will and, THEN, carrying it out to fulfillment from beginning to end [regardless of how long that may take] in the unction and power of the Holy Spirit, alone.
...."If you love Me, you will keep [obey] My commandments".... John 14:15 NASB
...."If you will listen diligently to the voice of the Lord your God, being watchful to do [obey] all His commandments which I command you this day, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth. And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you if you heed the voice of the Lord your God. Blessed shall you be in the city and blessed shall you be in the field. Blessed shall be the fruit of your body and the fruit of your ground and the fruit of your beasts, the increase of your cattle and the young of your flock. Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading trough. Blessed shall you be when you come in and blessed shall you be when you go out. The Lord shall cause your enemies who rise up against you to be defeated before your face; they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways. The Lord shall command the blessing upon you in your storehouse and in all that you undertake. And He will bless you in the land which the Lord your God gives you. The Lord will establish you as a people holy to Himself, as He has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of the Lord your God and walk in His ways. And all people of the earth shall see that you are called by the name [and in the presence of] the Lord, and they shall be afraid of you. And the Lord shall make you have a surplus of prosperity, through the fruit of your body, of your livestock, and of your ground, in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers to give you. The Lord shall open to you His good treasury, the heavens, to give the rain of your land in its season and to bless all the work of your hands; and you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow. And the Lord shall make you the head, and not the tail; and you shall be above only, and you shall not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you this day and are watchful to do them. And you shall not turn aside from any of the words which I command you this day, to the right hand or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them".... Deuteronomy 28:1-14 The Amplified Translation

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER
[Reflections Of The Father's Heart]
December 23rd 2011
+ Faith and patience have always been required for one to both enter into and fulfil their precious destiny. It has always been this way for My true servants that I have called - and to whom I have given great responsibility. You know about Abraham and Joseph - their waiting is well known, but consider Moses. He was in the wilderness for 40 years. He knew the people were going to the Promised Land [and that it was not all that far away] but he had to travel around and around and around with My people for 40 years. He held onto the vision and when the nation was disobedient and were walking out of My Will and working against that vision, Moses was there to correct and reprove and to stand in the gap for them. It was 40 years until he could stand on the top of a mountain and see the Promised Land - and know that they were about to enter it.
Be encouraged, My faithful ones! My Spirit is mightily upon you - and you were chosen because I knew you would be tenacious and would submit to My workings and My timetable. It has never been a quick fix or a quick journey for those who truly love Me. It has been a pathway of holding fast to Me and to My Word [Will] against all odds.
Moses spent 40 years in the wilderness because of the disobedience of the people he was leading. You have likewise spent many years waiting for the promise to be fulfilled - for a disobedient church has not been ready. Moses stood in the gap for the nation of Israel and you are standing in the gap for the Church. I was getting the people ready in the wilderness for what was to come - so that they could step into the "fullness" of My purposes for them with courage [without fear]. When they entered the Promised Land, they would then be a people who would fight in My strength, relying on Me to conquer their enemies - thus allowing Me to bring about My plan for the nation and the establishment of the kingdom of Israel. So too, I have been using these years to perfectly prepare My remnant Church for what is to come - to bring My Bride into a "full reliance" upon [trust in] Me with a view to establishing My Kingdom in great power on the earth while, at the same time, bringing about My purposes for the world at large [the nations and Israel]. So continue to hold fast the vision [revelation] "burning" in your heart - for the things that are now [in the natural] shall soon be no longer!
...."Therefore He said that He would destroy them, had not Moses His chosen one stood in the breach before Him, to turn away His wrath from destroying them".... Psalms 106:23 NASB
...."Then the LORD answered me and said, 'Record the vision and inscribe it on tablets, that the one who reads it may run. For the vision is yet for the appointed time; It hastens toward the goal and it will not fail. Though it tarries, wait for it; For it will certainly come, it will not delay. Behold, as for the proud one, His soul is not right within him; But the righteous will live by his faith".... Habakkuk 2:2-4 NASB
...."But we do [strongly and earnestly] desire for each of you to show the same diligence and sincerity [all the way through] in realizing and enjoying the full assurance and development of [your] hope until the end, In order that you may not grow disinterested and become [spiritual] sluggards, but imitators, behaving as do those who through faith [by their leaning of the entire personality on God in Christ in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness] and by practice of patient endurance and waiting are [now] inheriting the promises".... Hebrews 6:11-12 The Amplified Translation

SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by Marsha Burns:
You are entering a season when you will be able to gain new perspective and perhaps see a theme as the details begin to come together in a comprehensive overview. It would be a mistake to give the temporary details of your life more significance or power than they deserve. In the long run what really matters is your spiritual relationship with Me, says the Lord, and not the natural things that distract you from that which is really important. Maintain a positive outlook as you continue to progress in spiritual reality.
Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

+ "Hindering spirits" always attempt to work in some way from the ground in the heart that is not truly seeking Me - but rather maintaining their "own" agenda". It will always be that way as long as there are those in one's environment who are self-seeking in ANY way. As these "spirits" rise up in their attempt to hinder the spiritual progress of the one truly seeking Me they must simply continue to acknowledge Me in ALL of their ways - KNOWING [having and maintaining a deep revelation of the spiritual reality] that I will give them the perfect discernment [Wisdom and guidance] in each individual circumstance and situation as it arises.

SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by Marsha Burns:
Beloved, you must not be moved by anything but My Spirit. Be aware that there are forces around you that are waiting to move you away from truth, righteousness, and obedience to My Word. Temptations will be tantalizing, but you must test the spirits and discern. Consider the ultimate results of the changes and decisions that you are entertaining. Yield only to the moving of My Spirit, says the Lord.
1 John 4:1a Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God.
