"Reflections Upon Reflections" [of
The Father's Heart]
...."You, in Your great compassion,
did not forsake them in the wilderness; The pillar of cloud did not leave them
by day, to guide them on their way, nor the pillar of fire by night, to light
for them the way in which they were to go".... Nehemiah 9:19
NASB

THE
GREATEST EXPLOITS OF THIS FINAL HOUR WILL BE THE SPONTANEOUS FRUIT OF A PEOPLE
WHO HAVE LEARNED TO WALK ABOVE THE "SENSE REALM"
Words of
Prophecy
* All natural
"expectation" is the product of a "natural" hope. All supernatural [holy] expectation is the product of a
supernatural hope [revelation].
* Supernatural hope [which is based on a
revelation of My Will] and its perfect result is "deferred" [lit. carried
away] by natural hope [that which is sought
after based upon a perception of one's own desires and
strength].
"defer"
- to put off; postpone; delay;
...."Hope deferred makes the
heart sick, but desire fulfilled is a tree of life".... Proverbs 13:12 NASB
* Supernatural hope is the product of revelation
knowledge and is continually "nourished" by the Holy Spirit as one diligently
pursues the Will of God. Natural hope is the product of self-desire [self-will] and is always affected by the natural
circumstances - through the five physical senses [soul].
* Those who
have held fast to My Word [at all cost to
themselves] - in this final hour have shown great "courage", and
displayed a powerful sense of "justice" [desire for
righteousness], and in this I am well-pleased! Hold fast, My beloved
ones! For truly I say to you, you shall do many great exploits in the time
remaining in this dispensation.
"exploit" - a deed or act -
especially one marked by heroism or daring;
* The effects of the words spoken by My
bondservants and handmaidens in this last hour shall come to pass at a greatly
accelerated rate. For as My faithful ones saturate their hearts with My Word,
overcoming faith shall continually rise up in their hearts - and, thus, they
shall "fully" believe that the words which they speak shall come to pass. For
they will have no dependence whatsoever on physical circumstances or be
influenced in any way by those things that they perceive with their five
physical senses - and, thus, they shall do great and mighty exploits in [and
for] My Kingdom.
* In these days, I shall make you
[My faithful and obedient ones] great signs
and wonders - and you shall begin to do many great exploits in My Name [Daniel 12:3].
...."Now faith is the assurance [the
confirmation, the title deed] of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of
things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving
as real fact what is not revealed to the senses]".... Hebrews 11:1 The
Amplified Translation
Natural hope isborn out`
of a dependency upon people and things [outward
circumstances]. Supernatural hope is born of a "revelation" of God's
Will [Word]. When Abraham was
standing on God's promise [Issaac]he
had no "natural hope" to cling to for he was [as
well as Sarah]well past ANY natural ability to bring the promise to
pass. So he "hoped [with a supernatural hope and
faith]against hope" [hope based on
physical circumstances and abilities] - and so it is in this hour as
the Father calls His children to an absolute faith and trust in His ability,
wisdom and power, alone. It is certain that the greatest exploits of this final
hour will be the spontaneous fruit of a people who have learned to walk above
the "sense realm" [soulish realm], a
holy people who have come to the place of "abiding" [dwelling] in the "supernatural" - who
have NO dependence whatsoever on anything other than God's Word [a revelation of His Will], and the
power of the Holy Spirit abiding within
them.
...."Therefore, [inheriting] the
promise is the outcome of faith and depends [entirely] on faith, in order
that it might be given as an act of grace (unmerited favor), to make it
stable and valid and guaranteed to all his descendants - not only to the
devotees and adherents of the Law, but also to those who share the faith of
Abraham, who is [thus] the father of us all. As it is written, I have made you
the father of many nations. [He was appointed our father] in the sight of God in
Whom he believed, Who gives life to the dead and speaks of the nonexistent
things that [He has foretold and promised] as if they [already] existed.
[Gen. 17:5.] [For Abraham, human reason for] hope being gone, hoped in
faith that he should become the father of many nations, as he had been
promised, so [numberless] shall your descendants be. [Gen. 15:5.] He did
not weaken in faith when he considered the [utter] impotence of his own
body, which was as good as dead because he was about a hundred years old, or
[when he considered] the barrenness of Sarah's [deadened] womb. [Gen. 17:17;
18:11.] No unbelief or distrust made him waver [doubtingly question]
concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong and was empowered by
faith as he gave praise and glory to God, fully satisfied and assured
that God was able and mighty to keep His word and to do what He had
promised".... Romans 4:16-21 The Amplified
