THE LIFE OF FAITH AND THE GLORIOUS CHURCH febrUARY 24th

THE FIRST PREREQUISITE TO RECEIVING REVELATION=20 KNOWLEDGE IS THE DESIRE IN ONE’S HEART IS TO=20 "KNOW" THE FATHER AND HIS WORD IN THEIR "ABSOLUTENESS" - ABOVE ALL ELSE

=85."If you live in Me =96 abide vitally=20 united to Me =96 and My words remain in you and=20 continue to live in your hearts, ask whatever you=20 will and it shall be done for you"=85. = = John=20 15:7 Amplified Translation

The first prerequisite to receiving=20 revelation knowledge is the desire in one’s heart=20 to "know" the Father and His Word in their=20 "absoluteness" - above all else. If our first=20 and foremost desire is to seek a revelation of=20 the Lord Jesus Christ, then the Father, by the=20 power of the Holy Spirit, shall be "enabled" to=20 separate us from any desire which we might have=20 within us to "mentally ascend" to His Holy Word.=20 Many Christians believe that the Bible is true.=20 Some "believe" that in Christ there is=20 deliverance from every form of temporal evil;=20 some "believe" in the ministry of angels and the=20 divine protection we have under the Covenant, but=20 there are few who have a revelation of the fact=20 that ALL of these things [and more] belong to us=20 and, thus, they fail to walk free of the bondage=20 that "dependence" upon the ways of this world=20 brings, and when the storms of this life begin to=20 encompass them they shall surely begin to perish=20 to some degree in the area of their lives that is=20 "governed" by fear and unbelief. If one does not=20 "seek" to stay in a position of "abiding" in the=20 Word of God, moment by moment, day by day,=20 somewhere along the line they will find=20 themselves in a position of utter helplessness=20 before the enemy’s assault. Indeed, it is a very=20 subtle form of mental ascension in the child of=20 God that says, "I believe the whole Bible is=20 true", and yet through their lack of diligence in=20 their handling of God’s Word they have "allowed"=20 themselves to come to a place wherein Satan is=20 able to openly attack them. Because they have, in=20 some way, "maintained" [held to] a "carnal" life,=20 and because they have not "allowed" the Holy=20 Spirit to reveal those things that they need to=20 separate themselves from in order to CONTINUALLY=20 be cleansed from ALL defilement of flesh and=20 spirit, they leave themselves in a position of=20 great danger - particularly now that we have entered into the "final= stretch".

OUR=20 "CHRISTIAN WALK" IN THIS EARTH WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE HANDLED OR TREATED= LIGHTLY

The Father’s requirement is for His=20 children to live moment by moment, day by day, in=20 an absolute dependence upon His Word and His=20 Spirit, and if we "choose" to take a path that=20 does not conform with the Divine Requirement=20 [Luke 10:27] [self-desire as opposed to godly=20 desire] then, indeed, we have chosen - in some=20 form - death over life, darkness over light=20 [revelation] and hatred over love. Our strict=20 adherence to the "revealed" knowledge of God’s=20 Word [Will] is the sole standard of measure by=20 which we shall fail or succeed in this earth -=20 and there is no other! Therefore, as we love the=20 Lord our God with our whole heart and, thus, seek=20 to obey Him in ALL that we do, our every action=20 and word shall be found to be conformed perfectly=20 to His Will for His Church — and for all=20 mankind. These things I have just spoken of are=20 both "weighty" and eternal, but it is necessary=20 to speak of them as the finality and lateness of=20 the hour becomes more apparent with each passing=20 moment, and it is certain that our "Christian=20 walk" in this earth was never meant to be handled or treated lightly.

= THE=20 "BRIDLING" OF THE TONGUE

We, as children of God, should never=20 allow any word which is not in accordance with=20 the "revealed" knowledge of God’s Word to come=20 out of our mouths. As we allow the Holy Spirit to=20 "bridle" our tongues, and as we CONTINUALLY fill=20 our hearts with the Word of God until we can=20 truly say that His Word is in our hearts in=20 "abundance", we must refrain from speaking=20 anything that we are not "assured" of being in=20 accordance with the will of God. Every word that=20 the Christian speaks that is not in accordance=20 with the will of God serves only to=20 "misrepresent" both the Father and His Word - and=20 although I will not be expounding on this matter=20 to any great degree at this time it is of the=20 utmost importance! One of the greatest areas of=20 weakness in the "past" history of the church, is=20 the failure of God’s children to bridle their=20 tongues - disclosing both the fact that they=20 have little or no desire to accomplish the=20 fullness of God’s will, and that they have little=20 or no revelation of the "absolute" importance of=20 words and their effect in this earth. The Father=20 desires each of us to be conformed to Him in ALL=20 our ways, in ALL our thoughts, in ALL our words,=20 and in ALL of our actions, and to those who think=20 that this is not possible [unattainable] in their=20 own lives, they may rest assured that ALL that=20 God commands, and ALL that He requires of us, He=20 also empowers us perfectly, through the Anointing=20 that "abides" within us - that is, the Holy=20 Spirit - to fulfil ALL that He has called us to.

"CHRISTIANS"=20 SHOULD NOT BE FOUND SIMPLY VOICING THEIR "OPINIONS"

If one truly desires to speak the=20 Truth above ALL else then God is faithful to=20 enlarge our heart, and bless us with a=20 continually deeper revelation of the importance=20 of our obedience in this area of speaking=20 "wholesome words". Christians should not be=20 voicing "their opinions", but rather only the=20 revealed knowledge, that is, the absolute truth=20 of God, in all that proceeds forth out of their=20 mouth. For us, as children of God, there is only=20 one truth and, as mentioned previously, EVERY=20 word we speak MUST be in accordance with that=20 Truth [both in word and spirit]. For if any word=20 we speak is found to be outside of and apart from=20 that Truth then it is only possible for us to=20 "misrepresent" the One we serve and, thus,=20 "error" is born. Although there are many who=20 would choose to disregard the importance of these=20 things, if one’s words are not "representing"=20 Jesus Christ and the highest purposes of the=20 Father THEN they are representing Satan and his=20 purposes - which are to both hinder and divide=20 [destroy] the true Church of God. How absolute is=20 our God! Let us not be found fighting against Him=20 [and all those who truly serve Him] in any way,=20 through arrogance and pride, but let us draw near=20 to Him, and humble ourselves before Him that we=20 might truly represent Him in ALL that we do.

"opinion" - a conclusion or judgement held with=20 [self] confidence, but falling short of exact or true [revealed] knowledge;

"error" - something done, said or believed=20 incorrectly; the condition of deviating from what=20 is correct or true in judgement, belief or action;

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father’s Heart]

[february 24th 2008]

+ Only fools listen to ["hear"] fools.

+ Soulish relationship is acceptable to most but falls FAR short of My Will, and My highest blessings concerning true "covenant-relationship".

+ There is no such thing as "true" friendship [relationship] apart from love [Proverbs 17:17].

+ I will confirm things beyond a shadow of a doubt!

+ For one to pursue that which is apart from My Will is to preclude My highest blessing in that one’s life and ministry.

LFGC : The Advent Of The True Apostles

Glenn H. Jackson — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 18:21:43 +0000

THE LIFE OF FAITH AND THE GLORIOUS CHURCH febrUARY 23rd

THE ADVENT OF THE TRUE APOSTLES

…."Indeed, the signs that indicate [a genuine] apostle were performed among you fully and most patiently in miracles and wonders and mighty works"….

2 Corinthians 12:12 Amplified Translation

The days ahead shall bring forth the manifestation of the "fullness" of the office of apostle and, because of this, every other office of the five-fold ministry shall finally reach its "full" manifestation and potential in the [true] local Church. The advent of the true apostles shall begin a "rapid" birth and expansion of all five offices [ministry gifts] within every true local congregation of God’s people - both in and through all those who will "partake" of the "special anointings" upon this first of the last wave of the holy apostles and prophets! Through the anointing abiding within [and resting upon] the holy apostles and prophets the Father shall begin to "elevate" all those of His people who truly love Him to heights heretofore "unseen" by them, and they shall begin to operate for the first time - both individually and corporately - in the "fullness" of the authority that is theirs in Christ [the Anointed One and His Anointing].

THOSE WHO STRIVE TO "MAINTAIN" ANY DEGREE OF "RELIGIOUS" ACTIVITY SHALL BE FORCED TO "FLEE" FROM THE ANOINTING OF TRUTH AND RIGHTEOUSNESS UPON GOD’s HOLY VESSELS IN THIS LAST HOUR

They shall go forth in such power and glory that all those who cross their path shall be astounded. Those whose hearts are toward the Father and His Word - to "any" degree - shall immediately come under a powerful and heavy anointing of total and absolute "consecration", and from this place of communion and revelation they shall go forth - even as babes in Christ - to devastate every "stronghold" and "scheme" of Satan in their path. Because of these things, the Holy Spirit shall literally multiply [expand] the Church at a rate that is, in this time, "incomprehensible" to even the most sanctified of God’s children! Those who strive to "maintain" any degree of "religious" activity shall be forced to "flee" from the anointing of Truth and Righteousness [holy fire] upon God’s holy vessels in this last hour, but they shall know deep within themselves that something is very wrong. At first, they will be deceived by the Evil One into "thinking" that it is what they have witnessed being said and done by those the Father has placed in their path that is wrong, but any who have even the smallest seed of the desire to love God, and enter into the fullness of their precious destiny, in Christ, shall gain the necessary enlightenment [revelation]. Thus, He shall lead them into their "proper" position within the local Church, and for the first time in their entire lives and ministries they shall be found to be serving Him in perfect obedience and righteousness - for they shall be freed of ALL bondage to the "religious spirits" who had both controlled them, and used them to persecute [hinder] the true servants of God. In this final hour, there shall be NO enemy in the midst of the camp [congregations of the righteous] - WITHOUT EXCEPTION!

Let us hear the words of the Father:

"IN THESE DAYS I AM PLANTING THE SEEDS OF KNOWLEDGE AND REVELATION IN THE HEARTS OF "ALL" THOSE WHO TRULY LOVE ME"

…."As I seek to establish My "spotless and unblemished" Church in this last hour, one can in no way "look" out upon the masses of My children [the church at large] and see what needs to be seen. My next "key" move is the sending forth of the "final wave[s]" of My five-fold ministry. In these days, I am planting the "seeds" of wisdom and revelation in the hearts of "all" those who truly love Me and, THEN, as I send forth My holy apostles and prophets, speaking the deepest thoughts and intentions of My heart concerning My Church and My Kingdom, these consecrated and holy ones of Mine - through their continued "willingness" to do ALL of My will - shall "know" beyond a "shadow of a doubt" that the "actions" carried out by, and the words that have been spoken through, the holy apostles and prophets are of Me [Mine], and they shall "freely" obey and conform themselves to My Wisdom for My Church in this last hour. And, thus, shall the "true" Church [which from before the creation of the earth was a "spiritual reality"] become a "physical" reality, crashing down the boundaries of time and space, bringing the "true" light into the darkness, the holy into the secular, and the sacred into the profane - Kingdom against kingdom! There is much that many of My children have "mentally-ascended" to concerning "My" plan for the Church in this last hour, and unless they forsake their "own" ideas [and ALL of the religious activity that is its fruit] they shall never be found in the "right place" at the "right time" to make the "glorious [divine] connections" that I have ordained [ordered] for them"….

+ Wait until you see what "I" will do for you in this matter of "relationships" [divine connections]!

+ The "wilful" maintaining of any self-exaltive attitude precludes the reception of revelation knowledge, and is a catalyst for an ever-increasing darkness.

+ True love is divine in ALL of its ways, and leads to the fullness of destiny for all involved [found abiding in it] [John 15:7,10a].

LFGC : Many Children Of God Are Continually Fed Words Of “death And Darkness”

Glenn H. Jackson — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 17:30:30 +0000

THE LIFE OF FAITH AND THE GLORIOUS CHURCH febrUARY 22nd

MANY CHILDREN OF GOD ARE CONTINUALLY FED WORDS OF "DEATH AND DARKNESS"

…."Paul, a bond-servant of Christ Jesus called as an apostle, set apart for the Gospel of God"…….among whom you also are called of Christ Jesus"….

Romans 1:1,6 NASB

We must pay close attention to the words "called" and "set apart" because we are going to see clearly in the Word of God that they run together throughout the Scriptures. There is a great misconception [deception] in the minds of many children of God that says, once a person has received Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour, that that is the first and last step they need to take. This lie needs to be absolutely obliterated from existence - for how it demeans all that our beloved Lord sacrificed for us at Calvary. Many children of God are continually fed "words of death and darkness" from some of the pulpits of the land but, in these days, a true working five-fold ministry shall be purified and come forth as gold, and if all those who have been "ministering unrighteousness" fail to repent then it is certain that they shall be removed swiftly from their position [Jeremiah 23:1-4]. These are tough words, but we need only to look through the Word of God to see numerous examples of men who refused to do what they were called to by God - and, thus, they perished in their disobedience and rebellion. I do not desire to dwell on this topic at length for I have a great love for all those who are called to the ministry but, regardless, the truth must be spoken so that the rebellious shepherds of the Lord Jesus Christ might repent and enter into the knowledge [revelation] of the Truth. O how we must pray and intercede for all those who fall into this "category", for the souls of the sheep are precious in the sight of the Father, and He will not allow them to be led astray by evil and self-willed men and women who are interested in the continual pursuit of their own self-glory [self-exaltation] instead of the exaltation of the Lord Jesus Christ. Enough said!

THE "WORK ETHIC" [SELF-EFFORT AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY] - AS WE KNOW IT IN OUR SOCIETY - IS AN ABOMINATION TO THE FATHER FOR IT BREEDS DEPENDENCE UPON "SELF"

In Romans 8:28 the Word of God states:

…."And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose"….

This verse of Scripture is one that is widely misinterpreted within the church because many believers lack "revealed knowledge" in the area of their calling - and how "all-encompassing" it really is once they are born-again. In this verse, we see that it is written that we are "called according to His purpose". We are not called and then expected to just go our own way and accomplish our "own" purpose - hoping that what we do will somehow please God. I realize that this last statement may seem elementary to some, but there are "multitudes" who have "allowed" themselves to be led astray by the doctrines of "good works" that abound within many areas of the church at large. Let it be said here and now that the "work ethic" [self-effort and self-sufficiency] - as we have known it in our society - is an abomination to the Father for it breeds dependence upon "self", and our "own" ability to get by rather than the total dependence upon [and trust in] His Word that the Father requires of "every" child of His. If we truly desire to "work" for God then we will set ourselves to obey ALL of His commandments - for it is only faith [trust] in His Word that pleases Him, and, indeed, whatever does NOT proceed from faith [love, obedience, revelation] is sin! From the moment we are born-again we must realize fully that we are called according to the Father’s purpose, and that He will empower us perfectly to complete EVERY task we are given by Him.

WHEN THE CHILDREN OF GOD "MENTALLY ASCEND" TO THIS SCRIPTURE THEY LEAVE THEMSELVES OPEN TO "ALL MANNER OF DECEPTION"

Again, in Romans 8:28 the Word states that:

…."God causes all things to work together for good to those who love Him"….

Many believers leave off "to those who love Him" and, thus, end up with "God causes all things to work together for good" in their thinking! When the children of God "mentally ascend" to this scripture they leave themselves open to "all manner of deception" by the Evil One because they, THEN, hold to the idea that no matter what they do God will still make all things work together for good - regardless of how sinful and rebellious they may have been. Now it is certainly true that the Father is able to fully turn the works of the Evil One to serve His purpose in the lives of those rebellious ones AFTER they have repented of the unbelief and rebellion that "allowed" the Evil One to freely attack them and/or work through them in the first place. But what happens in many cases is that those children of God who mentally ascend to the above scripture become slothful [instead of diligent] towards the Word of God and the pursuit of holiness and, thus, they "allow" themselves to be deceived to the point that they will believe that sickness, poverty, or any other manifestation of the law of sin and death [the curse] that has come upon them, is from God to "keep them in line" or "teach them a lesson"! That is precisely when they will stand up and say, "I guess God causes all things to work together for good", and God will get the blame - far and wide - for the disaster and the tragedy that they brought upon themselves through their own unbelief and rebellion! These things ought not to be so! We need to go before the Word of God with ALL diligence and reverence, and not just read it casually - or to suit our own purposes. What this scripture is really saying, as we examine it more closely, is this: God is enabled to cause all things to work together for the greatest good of those who will "obey" Him!

THOSE WHO TRULY LOVE GOD ARE THOSE WHO OBEY HIS WORDS [WILL] AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS

Jesus said in John 14: 21,23:

…."he who has My commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves Me; and he who loves Me shall be loved by My Father, and I will love him, and will disclose Myself to him"….

and in verse 23

…."If anyone loves Me, he will keep My Word and My Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our abode with him"….

From the words of our beloved Lord we can see that those who truly love Him keep His Word by obeying His commandments. Therefore, as we look back to Romans 8:28, we can state this verse as follows, "God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God [and those who truly love God are those who obey His Words (Will) and keep His commandments]. From these scriptures, every believer can see clearly that this entire spiritual principle is based on the obedience of the believer to the Word of God. The last part of verse 28 states:

…."to those who are called according to His purpose"….

How else are we able to fulfill the Heavenly Father’s purpose for our lives but by constant obedience to His Word [Will]? Therefore, this whole passage was directed to those who were walking in faith at the Church in Rome, exhorting them to continue on - knowing that God would indeed make "all things work together" in order that His perfect will might be fulfilled in their lives. Every child of God needs to realize that the Word of God makes no provision for anything less than a full and absolute commitment [surrender] to God, and that it is futile to try and bend the Word of God to accommodate their own selfish desires because, quite simply, it will not work - and will, ultimately, end in some form of disaster or tragedy in their life and ministry!

EOTF : There is no such thing as love apart from Me [1 John 4:8]

Glenn H. Jackson — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 16:15:49 +0000

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father’s Heart]

[february 22nd 2008]

+ There is no such thing as love apart from Me [1 John 4:8].

+ Obedience is a simple concept - but it is "absolute". There is no such thing as "partial" obedience - only obedience or disobedience.

+ There is no such thing as walking in My Kingdom apart from obedience, and there is no such thing as walking in obedience apart from "abiding" in the Kingdom principles found in My Word [Matthew 6:33].

+ Tell My people that the Cross [obedience unto the death of the self-life] is not obsolete it is absolute: the perfect catalyst for entrance into the fullness of resurrection life - and the "ascension life" [fullness of authority and divine empowerment, in Christ] [Ephesians 1:20-23] that shall enable My faithful ones to fulfil the fullness of their precious destiny!

"obsolete" - no longer used or practiced;

+ I have saved the "best" for last.

LFGC : Choose This Day Whom You Will Serve [part 2 Of 2] The Right Of Free Will

Glenn H. Jackson — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 18:02:02 +0000

THE LIFE OF FAITH AND THE GLORIOUS CHURCH febrUARY 21st

CHOOSE THIS DAY WHOM YOU WILL SERVE

[part 2 of 2]

THE RIGHT OF FREE WILL

…."And I gave you a land on which you had not laboured, and cities which you had not built, and you have lived in them; you are eating of vineyards and olive groves which you did not plant now therefore fear [reverence] the Lord and serve Him in sincerity and truth; and put away the gods which your fathers served beyond the river and in Egypt, and serve the Lord. And if it is disagreeable in your sight to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves today whom you will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served which were beyond the river, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my house we will serve the Lord"….

Joshua 24:13-14 NASB

Throughout the ages, the Father has always called for His people to serve Him from a pure and obedient heart, yet He would never violate their right of "free will" to choose, and do, whatever they wanted to do. The time had come for the people of Israel to either go on with God and come to a deeper knowledge of Him or to go their "own" way - which was what they truly desired to do in their heart. Over the centuries, the heart of the Father has remained the same - while, throughout history, many of His children have readily forsaken Him in order to pursue their own selfish lusts. And, in retaining that evil desire to lust for the things that are apart from God, they have brought upon themselves all manner of death and destruction as they bowed their knee to Satan - the very one whose only intent was to destroy them [both Israel and the church] in order to remove them from the face of the earth. God knew then - and the same still applies today - that it is ONLY obedience to the Word of God that will keep us under the umbrella of His Covenant protection in this earth.

THE FATHER’S DEEPEST HEART DESIRE IS TO FELLOWSHIP WITH HIS CHILDREN AND SHARE HIS LOVE FREELY WITH THEM

In Joshua 24:15 God, through the prophet Joshua, was calling for each one of His people to decide which path they would choose and NOW - in the lateness of the hour - the Heavenly Father has begun a great "shaking process" that will separate the rebellious from the faithful. His deepest heart-desire is to have a people who will walk in perfect obedience to His Word [Will] in the earth, in order that Jesus Christ be "truly" represented, and that He Himself would have children who would be able to know and understand His ways - that He might fellowship, and share His love, freely with them.

TRUE CHRISTIAN CONVERSION IS NOTHING LESS THAN THE COMPLETE SURRENDER OF ONE’S WILL TO DO ALL THE WILL OF THE HEAVENLY FATHER

At the end of verse 15 Joshua, whom God had raised up to lead the people after the death of Moses, said "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord". Many leaders [servants] are being raised up in the Church today - men and women whose deepest desire is that every one of their thoughts and actions be in accordance with the Word [Will]of God. In this most glorious hour they shall become great signs and wonders in the midst of the congregations of the righteous, for the Heavenly Father has been enabled to bless them superabundantly because of their "constant" obedience to His Word. In this last hour, the Father is bringing each one of His beloved children to the place where they MUST make the decision to serve Him in ALL that they do [the "narrow path"] or go their "own" way [which is the wide path of death and destruction characterized by this present evil world system]. Many when confronted with this "absolute" choice become offended at the fact that they, as children of God, are expected to forsake ALL that is not of God and follow Jesus AS HIS DISCIPLE and, thus, they completely ignore the great price that was paid by Jesus at Calvary in the shedding of His Blood to redeem them from death and darkness unto life and light. It is this type of wilful "ingratitude" that stirs the fierce wrath of the Father, for the Blood of Jesus is a most precious and holy thing in His sight. We know that by His doing we are IN Christ Jesus Who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption - and, indeed, every "good thing" we have in this present life is because of Jesus. Everyone who calls themselves a "true believer" must have these two facts clearly established in their heart by the Spirit of God. They must first realize that true Christian conversion is nothing less than the complete surrender of one’s will to do ALL of the will of the Heavenly Father and, secondly, that "membership" in the true Church [the Body of Christ] of the Lord Jesus Christ implies strongly that the measure of Christ’s surrender of His own will in order to accomplish at the Cross our deliverance from the domain of darkness and the curse of the law, is the only "true measure" of our own calling to Him and His service.

IT IS TIME TO FACE UP TO THE SPIRITUAL REALITIES THAT SURROUND US

In Joshua 24:16-18 the people answered Joshua’s words and said:

…."far be it from us that we should forsake the Lord to serve other gods; for the Lord our God is He Who brought us and our fathers up out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage and Who did these great signs in our sight and preserved us through all the way in which we went and among all the peoples through whose midst we passed. And the Lord drove out from before us all the peoples, even the Amorites who lived in the land. We also will serve the Lord, for He is our God"….

As the people of God spoke these words, which "seemed" to be the right words, God opened the eyes of His prophet Joshua to see into their hearts and, thus, Joshua said in verse 19:

…."You will not be able to serve the Lord for He is a Holy God. He is a jealous God; He will not forgive your transgression or your sins. If you forsake the Lord and serve foreign gods, then He will turn and do you harm (allow or permit harm) and consume you after He has done good to you". And the people said to Joshua, "no but we will serve the Lord"….

Today, as we walk in the midst of the greatest outpouring of the Holy Spirit this earth has ever seen, every child of God is being brought face to face with the reality that the One they have pledged their allegiance to is indeed the Lord of lords and the King of kings. Many who have taken only the first step in their walks are being called upon and convicted of their lack of commitment to the One they owe EVERYTHING they have to. Again in verse 19 Joshua perceived the wilful desires of their heart and told them they would not be able to serve God because God was holy and sin cannot exist, or even stand, in the presence of His holiness. There are many children of God today who - even in light of their "new birth" and the baptism of the Holy Spirit - still "retain" [maintain] sin in their lives - while vainly attempting to walk in the perfect will of the Heavenly Father. The time has come for EVERY member of the Body of Christ to face up to the spiritual realities that surround them rather than continually being caught up in the temporal things that surround them. Below is a word of prophecy concerning these things:

Thus saith the Lord God:

…."Many of My children remain bound by the temporal realm. There remains within them, to a certain degree, a deep-rooted fear that only serves to keep their attention fixed on the circumstances that surround them in their own individual walk. Thus, they become entrenched by this bondage, and Satan is able to keep them from moving into a fuller consecration - and the reliance upon, and trust in, Me that is its spontaneous fruit. As long as My children desire to keep their eyes fixed on the things that are perceived by the five physical senses instead of Me, they will not be able to put themselves in total subjection [submission] to My Word [Will]. Impress upon the hearts and minds of My children the need to "uproot" the ground within them in which the seeds of fear [doubt, worry, unbelief] grow, and are nourished [fuelled] by all those things that are apart from My Word and My Spirit. For the days in which fear is manifest in My Church are at an end! All of mankind must choose their allegiance in this hour, and if they choose Me they must know from the beginning that all those who would call upon My name must walk in faith according to My Word - and, indeed, the one who calls upon My name from their heart will NEVER be disappointed. But each must come to KNOW [through revelation] that it is ONLY faith that pleases Me and they must know that I am a rewarder of those who seek Me"…. Amen

EOTF : Freedom from loneliness is found only in right relationship with Me

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father’s Heart]

[february 21st 2008]

+ Freedom from loneliness is found only in right relationship with Me.

+ Not "knowing" [intimately] My Word or My heart [true character] equates to spiritual ignorance [darkness].

+ Rising early and living the "fasted" [disciplined] life are "synonymous".

"synonymous" - closely related or alike in significance or effect;

+ True thanksgiving ALWAYS translates into obedience.

+ True friendship [covenant-relationship] in the Body of Christ is an eternal bond - both forged and sustained [maintained] by My love, alone [Proverbs 17:17].

LFGC : Choose This Day Whom You Will Serve [part 1 Of 2] “love The Lord Your God With All Your Heart”

Glenn H. Jackson — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 19:50:41 +0000

THE LIFE OF FAITH AND THE GLORIOUS CHURCH febrUARY 20th

CHOOSE THIS DAY WHOM YOU WILL SERVE

[part 1 of 2]

"LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART"

Joshua 24:13-14 NASB

The above passage was one I was led to some time ago and I have always been blessed by it no matter how many times I read it. In studying the writings of the Old Testament every believer must understand that everything found there is a "type" [pattern] or "shadow" of some area of our Christian walk today. There are numerous exploits of men and women of faith, as well as many stories of great value that will help us to know and understand our Heavenly Father, and the wondrous love He has for all of His children. In the Old Testament we see God’s dealings with His chosen people, the Israelites, and His efforts to keep them separate from the rest of the nations. The Bible is filled with many constant, never-changing themes - and this is not surprising when one comes to the realization that our God is the same, yesterday, today and forever - but perhaps the most striking aspect of our Heavenly Father’s unwavering will is His steadfast desire and command for those who would serve Him to:

…."love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength and with all your mind"….

Luke 10:27 NASB

Never has there EVER been made a provision anywhere in the Word of God for the believer to serve God with anything less than a pure and undefiled devotion. Yet, as we look around us today, we see much within the church that is "outside’ of the will of the Father and, thus, not in accordance with His Word. In this last of the last hour, EVERY believer must make some crucial decisions concerning their walk with the Father [and His Word] - for His righteous judgement is upon us in the Body of Christ, and the church is now in the intense process of being refined and purified of "ALL" that is apart from Christ!

PUTTING OUR TRUST AND DEPENDENCE ON ANYTHING THAT IS NOT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE WORD [WILL] OF GOD CONSTITUTES "IDOLATRY"

In the above passage of scripture, Joshua was reviewing the wondrous deliverance of the people of Israel out of Egypt, and he was reminding the people of the "promised land" that God had provided for them without "their" labour, and the cities which ‘they" had not built. This, is of course, a type of our inheritance in Jesus Christ. As we are born into the family of God we, too, come into an inheritance that has already been bought and paid for [established] by the Blood of Jesus. Many children of God "allow" themselves to be deceived by the Evil One into thinking that they must contribute something of their "own" ability when, in reality, they are called only to obey the Word [Will] of God. While this is certainly no small task, the believer can rest assured that the Father has sent His Spirit to come and dwell in our hearts - to teach us and lead us into ALL truth. Our Heavenly Father has made EVERY provision for us in Christ just as He made every provision for His chosen people, Israel, when they entered into the promised land. As we look closer at the circumstances that were taking place as Joshua spoke to the people of Israel we come to the realization that they had been in the promised land for some time and had inhabited the land. In just the same way, many children of God have been in Christ for a period of time after they were first born anew without much spiritual growth. As Joshua spoke to the people of Israel he put them in remembrance of what God had done, and in verse 14 he warned the people sternly to put away the idols and traditions which were in their past that they might serve the Lord with their "whole" heart. As Joshua spoke by the Spirit of God it was obvious that some of the people were either backsliding by worshipping other idols or that they had become "comfortable" with some of the customs of the previous inhabitants of the land. Both these areas are still prevalent amongst many children of God today, and our Heavenly Father is just as grieved today as He was then. Putting our trust and dependence on anyone or anything that is not in accordance with the Word [Will] of God constitutes "idolatry" in the life of the believer. To say it another way, anything that we cherish or exalt in any way over our Heavenly Father and His Word is an idol, and it must be cast down from its position in our lives - for these things will only lead the child of God to experience corruption, darkness [spiritual blindness] and death in their walk.

GOD HAS NEVER SETTLED FOR "SECOND PLACE" AT ANY TIME - AND HE NEVER WILL!

Many Christians have no concept at all of the fact that "heart-fellowship" with the world is sin! Centuries of "mental ascension" to the Word of God have made it acceptable to do almost anything in many areas of the church, and this is a certain abomination to God! As believers continue on in "fellowship" with the "world" Satan will easily keep them apart from the Word [Will] of God - for their eyes will be blinded to the truth, and they will continue on "unaware" that they are outside of the Covenants of promise - and, thus, have become "open targets" for the destructive schemes of the Evil One. How important it is for every child of God to find out what the Word of God truly "says" [through revelation], and "act" on it in the power of the Holy Spirit - for this is the only way for one who has departed to any degree from the Will of God to enter back onto the path wherein the "fullness" of their destiny, in Christ, lies. Again, it is very important for every child of God to stop the foolishness of retaining sin in their lives through the "self-desire" - a self-desire that is fuelled through fellowship with the "world", and the "spirit of idolatry" that is one of its chief characteristics. As Joshua spoke to the people in verse 15 he said, "and if it is disagreeable in your sight to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves today whom you will serve." Some of the people, as I mentioned before, were truly content to settle for what "they" wanted rather than to serve the Lord - so what Joshua was really saying to the people was "make your decision today, for the Lord your God will NOT settle for second place in your lives". It must be clearly understood by all that who would truly serve Him: God has never settled for "second" place at any time - and He never will!

EOTF : The mind-set: “Let us not do anything that we cannot control” - is the product of an adulterous heart towards Me

Glenn H. Jackson — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 16:58:17 +0000

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father’s Heart]

[february 20th 2008]

+ The mind-set: "Let us not do anything that we cannot control" - is the product of an adulterous heart towards Me. Thus, Satan has been enabled to build strongholds in the hearts who have "allowed" themselves to be held by a "spirit of rebellion" and, until a thorough repentance is forthcoming, they shall continue to slip deeper and deeper into darkness, and become more and more entangled in sin. But truly I say to you, the time is coming, even now, wherein the weight of sin and the black and heavy darkness that encompasses "My" rebellious ones shall become "too heavy" for them to bear, and many shall cry out to Me, seeking "desperately" for the deliverance that was already theirs in Christ. And I shall forgive them and restore them to the spirit of meekness and gentleness I require of all those that I have raised up to lead My people, and they shall become a great testimony to the Divine Requirement [Luke 10:27], and they shall turn on Satan and his forces with a holy vengeance. And I shall then use them to destroy the strongholds of "religious tradition" - and so shall the principalities and spirits of iniquity [religious spirits] be driven out before them!

The "line" has been drawn and now is the time for each one of My children to decide which side they shall stand on! Before these things come to pass I must "formulate" a mighty judgement against all those who have continually allowed themselves to be "bound" and "gagged" by religious spirits. These evil spirits of religion - plus the entrance of the spirits of greed and covetousness - and the "ground" they have had to work from in the midst of My people - must be completely devastated, demolished and eliminated! For indeed, the one great task that immediately confronts "all" of My holy bondservants and handmaidens is to remove "all" of the powers of darkness from the midst of the congregations of My people. Truly I say to you, the fruit and product of this most glorious work shall be that My faithful and obedient ones shall not "flinch", to even the slightest degree, as they call themselves the "Glorious Church".

LFGC : The Will Of The Father: Prosper In All Respects And Be In Good Health

Glenn H. Jackson — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 01:38:29 +0000

THE LIFE OF FAITH AND THE GLORIOUS CHURCH febrUARY 19th

THE WILL OF THE FATHER: PROSPER IN ALL RESPECTS AND BE IN GOOD HEALTH

…."Beloved I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health just as your soul prospers"….

3 John 2 NASB

Today we are going to examine the topic of healing [divine prosperity], and come to see by the light of the Holy Spirit that it is the Father’s will for each one of His children to walk in "divine health" and, for that matter, ALL manner of divine prosperity. This is an extremely important topic because for too long Satan has kept the children of God away from the fullness of their inheritance [salvation] - an inheritance that was bought for them with a very great price at Calvary. And, thus, we need to dispel those myths that are keeping the multitudes away from all of the wondrous things the Father has provided for them, in Christ. In the above scripture we find the apostle John praying under the unction of the Holy Spirit, according to the will of the Father, and we see that he prays for us to prosper in all respects and "be in good health". So from this, we have our first glimpse of the Father’s will concerning our health and healing. As we continue on to search the scriptures we are going to establish what the Bible says - NOT what men’s traditions and opinions say, but rather what God says! We must set aside "all" of our preconceived notions and mental ascensions to the Word of God in these days, and open our heart wide to both hear and receive the "revealed" Word of God. In this last hour, it is of the utmost importance to treat EVERY facet of our Christian walk in this very same manner - for, in doing so, we will have our heart and mind CONTINUALLY established in the "exact" [or true] knowledge of God Almighty.

WE MUST COME TO KNOW THAT GOD OPERATES FULLY IN THE LAW OF LIFE AND THAT THE EVIL ONE OPERATES FULLY IN THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH!

In Romans 8:2 the Word of God states that:

…."the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death"….

Right away, we can see that there are two different laws at work here and, also, that they are the exact opposite of one another. The law of the Spirit of life is put into effect by faith, love, and righteousness [obedience], and the law of sin and death is put into effect by fear, pride and unrighteousness [disobedience]. So we can see clearly that there are two different laws and two different forces at work. We know that the law of the Spirit of life [operated by faith and love] is the "law" [principle] of God, and the law of sin and death [put into action by fear] is the law [principle]of Satan, and that these two spiritual laws are in operation in the earth today. We, as believers, need to have a clear understanding of what these two laws encompass so that we can see clearly that God is not a God who operates in one law and then switches over to another law. We must come to know that He operates fully in the law of life, and that the Evil One operates fully in the law of sin and death!

EVERYTHING THAT GOD STANDS FOR, SATAN IS AGAINST AND EVERYTHING THAT SATAN STANDS FOR - OR IS A PART OF - GOD IS AGAINST

In John 10:10 Jesus states that:

…."the thief comes only to steal, to kill, and to destroy. I came that they might have life and might have it abundantly"….

In this verse, Jesus draws the distinct comparison between that which is the essence of the Father’s nature and that which is the essence of Satan’s nature. We need to meditate on this passage. We need to realize that everything that God stands for, Satan is against and that everything that Satan stands for - or is a part of - God is against. They are indeed two absolute opposites, and they cannot mix in ANY form or fashion - although it is certain that a vast multitude of religious spirits continue to attempt to paint a deceptive picture of that through legalism, "good works" etc.

THE FATHER NEVER MADE ANY PROVISION FOR HIS CHILDREN TO COMPROMISE HIS WORD IN ANY WAY!

Up until this time, there has been a great amount of sickness and disease amongst the children of God, and also a great amount of poverty and lack - as well as a great amount of strife and discord [division] - simply because many have taken the Word of God and, through a spirit of "mental ascension", they have "mixed" it with the lies of the Evil One. In the days ahead, as we look at some scriptures found in the Old Testament and some more in the New Testament, we shall see clearly that the Father never made ANY provision for His children to compromise His Word in any way! We must continually exercise a "holy caution" where the Word of God is concerned - for it is certain that anyone who does so [compromises it] shall reap some form of corruption and darkness in their walk and, thus, fall short of walking in the fullness of their precious inheritance [salvation]. For it is certain that whatever a man will sow that he will also reap, if to the flesh, corruption and if to the Spirit, life.

THERE IS NO ROOM FOR MAINTAINING SIN IN THE LIFE OF THE TRUE BELIEVER AND STILL APPROPRIATE THE FULNESS OF DIVINE BLESSING

Every child of God also needs to have a "burning" [active] revelation in their heart that the Father has commanded ALL of His children to "be holy as I Am holy", and that of course means there is no room for "maintaining" sin in the life of the true believer, and still appropriate the fullness of divine blessing [the fullness of their Covenant blessing, in Christ. Until the believer has this truth revealed to their heart by the Spirit of God there will remain within them the tendency, in some form, to sow to the flesh. This continual sowing to the flesh serves only to "allow" darkness and death to hold that one in a certain degree of bondage - UNTIL such a time as they allow the light [revelation] of divine truth to both expose and consume every ground of fear [pride] within them. The Father has set our path [destiny], and He has given us His Word. As we are obedient to that Word [Will], and as that Word [Will] is continually revealed to our heart by the Holy Spirit [having put put the Word of God first in EVERY area of our lives] we will SURELY begin to experience the fullness of the "divine prosperity" that the Father has provided for us, in Christ Jesus.

NO COMPROMISE…THE CHILD OF GOD’S SURVIVAL [ABILITY TO BOTH "RISE ABOVE" AND OVERCOME] IN THE EARTH WILL DEPEND UPON IT!

But on the other hand, if the child of God decides, by a conscious act of their will, to partake of those things that are apart from the Word [Will] of God and, therefore, come under the law of sin and death - in other words, if the believer voluntarily continues on in heart-fellowship with the world THEN, in some form, Satan will enter into that believer’s life to steal from, kill or destroy all that he can and, thus, remove that child of God from any position of blessing [revelation-empowerment] that would be a threat to his "domain" [strongholds]. We need to have it "established" in our heart by the Holy Spirit that there can be NO compromise in the Christian walk for the time is coming, and now is, that the child of God’s "survival" [ability to both "rise above and overcome] in the earth will depend upon it!

Glenn H. Jackson — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 00:35:17 +0000

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father’s Heart]

[february 19th 2008]

[part 2 of 2]

+ The second reaction to the "Spirit of judgement and burning" [Isaiah 4:2-6] that abides within, and rests upon, the holy apostles and prophets that I shall send forth shall cause great offense to all those who have "wilfully maintained" the ground of a stubborn and rebellious spirit, and their first impulse shall be to "stone" My holy bondservants and handmaidens. But truly I say to you, by My great and awesome power, I shall stop their evil intentions cold and by My grace and by My mercy I shall grant them one final opportunity to seek a deep and thorough repentance. And, as the volume of My power is "turned up" to a continually greater degree in the midst of My people, many of these ones shall repent and they, too, shall receive the "spiritual food" necessary for them to come into the "fullness" of all that I have called them to. But sadly, there shall be those who because of past experiences and bitterness [resentment] - hold fast to [cling] to a "spirit of unforgiveness" and, in their "refusal" to forgive they have denied My Covenant - and because of the "advanced state" of their hardness of heart they have "allowed" themselves to be held entirely captive by the Evil One and His forces - without even realizing it [2 Timothy 2:26]! And, thus, they become open vessels of a "spirit of blasphemy" - a spirit that sits directly under [and receives orders from] the "spirits" of antichrist, and whose task it is to "decry" all that proceeds from Me! Let this one thing become clear to all: I shall not stand for the blaspheming of My Spirit - and all of the words and actions thereof! And truly I say to you, I shall pour out My wrath upon these spirits, and all those who have "aligned" themselves with them! And ALL shall surely see that I am Almighty God and that I have a "fierce loyalty" to all those who truly love Me! Tell My children to put themselves in a position wherein I might expose "any" and "every" ground of unforgiveness within them for it is only those who "hold" to unforgiveness - even in the face of this great outpouring of My Spirit and the manifestation of the Glorious Church - who shall fall into this third category of reaction to My holy apostles and prophets. So then, let it be clearly understood by every one of My children that "wilful unforgiveness" is totally and absolutely unacceptable to Me [Matthew 6:14-15]! For every "wilful" word and action rooted and grounded in unforgiveness is a total and absolute "denial" of the precious Blood of My Dear Son!

"decry" - to condemn or disparage openly;

LFGC : To The Degree That One Begins To Enter Into A Revelation Of Divine [true] Prosperity It Is To That Degree…that They Shall Begin To Direct Their “energies” [in A Continual Obedience To ···

Glenn H. Jackson — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 16:02:02 +0000

THE LIFE OF FAITH AND THE GLORIOUS CHURCH febrUARY 18th

TO THE DEGREE THAT ONE BEGINS TO ENTER INTO A REVELATION OF DIVINE [TRUE] PROSPERITY IT IS TO THAT DEGREE…THAT THEY SHALL BEGIN TO DIRECT THEIR "ENERGIES" [IN A CONTINUAL OBEDIENCE TO THE STILL, SMALL VOICE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT] TOWARD OBTAINING ALL THAT THE FATHER HAS INTENDED FOR THEM IN CHRIST

…."Beloved I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers"….

3 John 2 NASB

…."How blessed is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gains understanding. For its profit is better than the profit of silver, and its gain than fine gold. She [wisdom] is more precious than jewels; and nothing you desire compares with her. Long life is in her right hand, in her left hand are riches and honour. Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her, and happy are all who hold her fast. The Lord by wisdom founded the earth; by understanding He established the heavens. By His knowledge the deeps were broken up, and the skies drip with dew. My son, let them not depart from your sight; keep sound wisdom and discretion, so they will be life to your soul, and adornment to your neck. Then you will walk in your way securely and your foot will not stumble. When you lie down you will not be afraid; when You lie down your sleep will be sweet. Do not be afraid of sudden fear, nor of the onslaught of the wicked when it comes; for the Lord will be your confidence, and will keep your foot from being caught"….

Proverbs 3:13-26 NASB

It is of the utmost importance for EVERY believer to have established in their heart the true meaning of the word "prosperity" - as seen through the eyes of God. One must not be "satisfied" until a deeper and fuller definition has been revealed to them by the Spirit of God - thus overriding any previous mind-sets and preconceived notions that were formed in the mind of the flesh [darkness]. To the degree that one begins to enter into a revelation of "divine" [true] prosperity it is to that degree - and to that degree alone - that they shall begin to direct their "energies" [in a continual obedience to the still, small voice of the Holy Spirit] toward obtaining ALL that the Father has intended for them in Christ. Those who "mentally ascend" to the Word of God are continuously deceived into directing themselves in areas where the sole purpose of their efforts is to fulfil the endless lust for the things that are apart from the Will of God.

ONCE THE TRUE BELIEVER EXPERIENCES THE SUPERABUNDANCE OF THE FATHER’S BLESSING THEY WILL SURELY BECOME A CHANNEL OF THAT BLESSING TO ALL THOSE AROUND THEM

It is this area self-desire [self-agenda] wherein the Evil One seeks to control and dominate the child of God, keeping them apart from the "true" prosperity offered in Christ Jesus, and leading them into a "cycle" wherein they are constantly sowing to the flesh - and, thus, continually reaping a form of darkness and corruption in their walk. Satan is not opposed to using any method that will keep the child of God in this position of being outside the blessings [grace-empowerment] of God - for once the true believer experiences the superabundance of the Father’s blessing they will SURELY become a channel of that blessing to all those around them - and, thus, they shall present a "true and proper" image of the One that they serve, and the Father’s desire to "superabundantly" prosper those that love Him and obey Him shall become evident to all. As in all things pertaining to our life in Christ we must keep our priorities and our focus in the proper position - in order that we might be found experiencing the Father’s best in any given situation and circumstance. It is from this position of abiding in the fullness of God’s blessing that we will be found glorifying Him to the greatest degree in all that we do and say - devoid of any desire to obtain for ourselves that which only leads to death [darkness].

FOR TOO LONG, THE CHURCH HAS BEEN A SLEEPING GIANT!

As we read the prayer of the apostle John in 3 John 2 we see clearly that it is the Father’s will for us to prosper in "all respects". How numerous are the misconceptions and mental ascensions [preconceived notions] to the Word [Will] of God concerning divine [true] prosperity. These wrong mind-sets have only served to rob the church of its rightful blessing of superabundant prosperity [spirit, soul, body, financially and relationship-wise] in the earth. The aforementioned misconceptions and mental ascensions serve only to establish the plans of the Evil One in "controlling" [dominating] the children of God. For in keeping many sick and in poverty, Satan has brought the church at large to a position of being "neutralized" - rendered almost "useless" by their own slothfulness [negligence in spiritual things] and the strong desire [lust] to seek things that are apart from God! For too long, the church has been a sleeping giant! But we can rejoice in the fact that this giant is beginning to arise and wipe the sleep from its eyes. How we must return to our God in this most critical hour with a whole and a pure heart, and "allow" the Holy Spirit to remove the lies that have become "established" within the church at large through centuries of devious scheming by the Evil One. It is only as the children of God allow His Word to enter their heart that His precious light will dispel ALL that is of darkness in their heart and mind. For too long, we have walked in the darkness of our own human understanding when we have within our reach the very Wisdom that created this universe - and all that is in it. What folly it is to proceed forth from our own understanding in light of this fact! Father soften our hearts in order that we might continually hear YOUR Wisdom - for we, indeed, have the mind of Christ!

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father’s Heart]

[february 18th 2008]

[part 1 of 2]

+ If those in "leadership" in the church do not themselves abide in the "Spirit of the Cross" then their actions and the words that they speak shall surely be devoid of the "spirit of consecration" and, thus, those in the congregation they minister to whose hearts are not yet "wholly given" shall become an "easy prey" for the "spirits" of idolatry [spiritual adultery - James 4:4]. The first manifestation of this "evil spirit" is found in a "definite conformity" to the world and its ways, and also an inherent "stubbornness" in one which that manifests itself in one holding to an element of self-desire. Unless these ones who have been subjected to the ministering of My Word - devoid of the power of the Cross draw near to Me in the "inner chamber" in perfect fellowship, they shall surely come into the place wherein they willingly accept words and actions that are contrary to the Spirit of Love and, thus, they place themselves in the "precarious" position of "spiritual adultery" - a position which if not repented of shall lead to all manner of sin in their relationships, and in their ministry!

Warn My children that "now" is the time to repent of "all" fellowship with [and conformity to] the ways of the world. For I am about to send forth the first of many "waves" of the specific group of holy apostles and prophets that I have raised up in this last hour - handmaidens and bondservants whose sole motivation is a deep and yearning "compassion" for every one of My children to "receive" and, thus, be entirely aware of - the fullness of their inheritance in Christ. For it is only from this position that one is enabled to be empowered to walk in the fullness of the ministry [Kingdom-position] that they themselves are called to. As this first line of My holy apostles and prophets go forth into the midst of the congregations of My people a great light shall surely shine forth immediately exposing the deepest thoughts and intentions of all those who come into their presence. And, thus, each and every individual shall instantly know exactly what it is I require of them individually - and truly I say to you there shall only be three "reactions".

The first reaction will be that those of My children who truly love Me shall move quickly to rectify their position by moving swiftly in obedience to the words spoken through My holy apostles and prophets in the power of the Spirit of the Cross [the Holy Spirit - the Spirit of Truth and Love] and I shall lead them to their proper position within My True Church [remnant Church], and I shall feed them with the food that is needful for them and, thus, they shall be elevated [resurrected] to the place wherein they are continually abiding in the "ascension life" [seated at My right hand with Christ in the heavenly places] - a place wherein the "fullness" of their inheritance in Christ is continually manifested to all those who cross their path. And, thus, My Glory shall rest heavily upon them, and be continually poured out upon all those who cross their path in this final hour.

[conclusion tomorrow]

LFGC : The=20 Ministry Of The Apostle + The Definition Of A True Prophet =85.”so Then You Are No Longer Strangers=20 And Aliens, But You Are Fellow Citizens With The=20 Saints, And Are Of ···

Glenn H. Jackson — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 05:36:54 +0000

THE LIFE OF FAITH AND THE GLORIOUS CHURCH febrUARY 17th

THE=20 MINISTRY OF THE APOSTLE + THE DEFINITION OF A TRUE PROPHET

=85."So then you are no longer strangers=20 and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the=20 saints, and are of God=92s household, having been=20 built on the foundation of the apostles and=20 prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone"…. = = Ephesians=20 2:19-20 NASB

…."For this reason I, Paul, the=20 prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you=20 Gentiles if indeed you have heard of the=20 stewardship of God=92s grace which was given to me=20 for you; that by revelation there was made known=20 to me the mystery, as I wrote before in brief. By=20 referring to this, when you read you can=20 understand my insight into the mystery of Christ,=20 which in other generations was not made known to=20 the sons of men, as it has now been revealed to=20 His holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit"….

= = Ephesians=20 3:1-5 NASB

=85."Surely the Lord God does nothing=20 unless He reveals His secret counsel to His servants the prophets"=85.

= = Amos=20 3:7 NASB

The ministry of the apostle in this=20 hour is about to come forth with great power and,=20 because of this, vast multitudes of those who are=20 called to "lead" God’s people into the "fullness"=20 of their precious inheritance in Christ shall be=20 raised up throughout the Body of Christ - in=20 every nation. When I was young I was always very=20 impressed - still am - with those artists who=20 could paint a portrait of an individual and not=20 only do justice to what they looked like, but=20 could also capture that special essence [life]=20 which characterized that person perfectly. If I=20 could have had a choice in an artistic skill it=20 most certainly would have been to paint in this=20 way. My "artistic skill" concerning painting=20 begins and ends with "stick men" and "stick=20 animals" - enough said! But as I was growing in=20 the Lord and coming into a continually deeper=20 revelation of my calling I began to see a=20 distinct comparison between the aforementioned=20 artist and the ministry of the apostle. In the=20 time after the Lord separated me unto Himself my=20 first and foremost task was to eat, sleep, drink=20 and breathe the Word of God, and to intercede for=20 the birthing of godly leadership in the Church.=20 Over the years there has been a "birthing=20 process" that has been set in motion throughout=20 the Body of Christ in every nation [through many=20 faithful intercessors], and it is now time for=20 the Glorious Church - and those who shall lead=20 [truly serve] Her - to come forth. How can words=20 begin to describe what is about to happen! We are=20 going to have to simply live in the intensity of=20 each moment in close fellowship with the Father=20 and His Word just to truly "begin" to appreciate=20 what is going on - as the Glory of God is poured=20 forth in "torrents" through a holy remnant in=20 this most glorious hour. Getting back to the=20 ministry of the apostle: one of the chief=20 characteristics of the anointing upon the apostle=20 is the ability [anointing] to create [form]=20 within those they minister to [through prayer and=20 the ministry of the Word] the perfect picture=20 [image] of Christ [and the true character of the=20 Father] within that one and, thus, cause them to=20 come into the "fullness" of their inheritance in=20 Christ - which, as I have mentioned before is the=20 prerequisite to one entering into [truly=20 beginning] the fullness of the "ministry"=20 [Kingdom-position] they have been called to. So,=20 in essence, this is like painting a picture=20 [clear image] of [absolute] Truth upon the hearts=20 of all those that will "receive" - those ones who=20 truly desire to fulfil ALL that they were created for, in Christ.

= WALKING=20 "TIME-BOMBS"

VISION:

I saw many "bombs explode" and create=20 GREAT devastation in the midst of Satan’s schemes formed against God’s= people.

The Father then spoke saying:

…."My holy apostles and prophets are=20 viewed by the Evil One as walking "time bombs".=20 He knows they are about to "go off" [explode] but=20 he does not know when or where, and he is=20 "paralyzed with fear and terror" [panic] and great confusion in this= hour!"….

As the Father "begins" to release=20 fully the "first wave" of the final overall wave=20 of His holy apostles and prophets throughout the=20 entire earth these "time bombs" shall go off in=20 "selected" spots - confronting any and every=20 "religious stronghold" in the midst of all those=20 who truly love God. And, as the days march on,=20 these "walking-talking time-bombs" that the=20 Father continues to raise up shall be released in=20 an ever expanding manner until the entire earth=20 has been affected by this outpouring of God’s=20 glory. The only thing that remains is for each=20 handmaiden and bondservant to continue abiding in=20 the secret place of His most glorious presence=20 and await orders on where the "next strike" will take place.

THE TERROR IN=20 THE DEEPEST RECESSES OF SATAN’S BEING IS INCREASING WITH EACH PASSING DAY

The terror in the deepest recesses of=20 Satan’s being is increasing with each passing day=20 and this is both confirmed and made evident by=20 the "confusion and weakness" which are the chief=20 characteristic of his futile attempts to stop=20 this release of the holy apostles and prophets -=20 a release which shall surely culminate in the=20 perfect manifestation of a true working=20 "five-fold ministry" ministry in the true=20 spiritual environments that the Father is=20 establishing throughout the earth, and the=20 glorious perfecting of all those whose hearts are=20 "wholly given" to God, and His awesome purposes=20 in this last of the last hour. This is not to say=20 that we can let our guard down for a second. We=20 must always "maintain" a holy vigilance over our=20 hearts while that "spiritual cur" is still on the=20 loose to "any" degree, but it is certain that as=20 the Body of Christ continues to grow daily into a=20 continually deeper revelation of the "fullness"=20 of her authority in Christ [the Anointed One and=20 His Anointing] she shall begin to wreak havoc in=20 the midst of every Satanic stronghold, and=20 literally drive both he and his "religious=20 spirits" out of the midst of "all" those whose=20 hearts are even "towards" God in this hour.

= EVER=20 INCREASING STRENGTH

The ever increasing strength of the=20 faith [love] found "abiding" in the hearts of all=20 those who are wholly given shall "cast out" any=20 remaining ground of fear within, and that most=20 holy faith shall be continually released wherever=20 necessary to set the captives free - regardless=20 of any "seeming degree of difficulty". Quite=20 simply, "all" those who truly desire to be free=20 shall be set free [Acts 2:21]! It will "seem"=20 quite "sudden" - this explosion of God’s power=20 and the miraculous results thereof, but, in=20 reality, it has been the product of the=20 longsuffering intercessors who, in "laying down=20 their lives" consistently over a period of many=20 years, have brought the Church to the threshold=20 of Eternity, and the outpouring of the=20 superabundant Glory that is hers in Christ,=20 through their faithful [loving] and obedient prayers.

= THE=20 DEFINITION OF A PROPHET

Here is a simple, yet concise, definition of a=20 prophet I was given by the Father some time ago:

The work of a prophet is to act as=20 God’s messenger and make known the will of God to=20 His people. They are called to teach men and=20 women of God’s character, showing a fuller=20 revelation of God’s dealings in the past through=20 the Scriptures, as well as to deliver the=20 present-day message from the Throne of God to His=20 people. It is also the call of the prophet to=20 denounce sin, and foretell its punishment under=20 the divine unction of the Holy Spirit. They are=20 to be, above all, a vessel of righteousness. When=20 the children of God fall away from the true faith=20 to which they are called, the prophet is brought=20 on the scene to restore that faith by pointing=20 the people of God back to His holy Word and, by=20 that Word, to remove the false views about God’s=20 character and the true nature of the "Divine=20 Requirement" [to love the Lord your God with=20 "all" of your heart - Luke 10:27] for His=20 children; false views that are caused by carnal,=20 fleshly [mental] ascent to His Word.

THERE IS A GREAT DEGREE=20 OF DARKNESS IN THE CHURCH IN THE AREA OF THE OFFICES OF THE MINISTRY

There is a great degree of darkness in=20 the church in the area of the offices of the=20 ministry. Many "denominations" refuse to=20 acknowledge the fact that the office of the=20 apostle and the prophet is still in existence -=20 and that is necessary for the Church today. Then=20 there are those who accept the prophets of God to=20 the degree that their words are able to be=20 received "comfortably" by them, but when the=20 message of [righteous] judgement and repentance=20 comes they will forsake the prophet of God and=20 reject what they say. These categories are not=20 new to the people of God, for throughout history=20 we are able to see the mistreatment of the=20 "messengers of God". In the Body of Christ today=20 these things ought not be! For we have the Holy=20 Spirit dwelling within us to teach us and guide=20 us into all truth. As the children of God=20 continually "draw near" to the Father and His=20 Word in this last hour it will be revealed to=20 their hearts the urgency in the heart of God for=20 the true and proper establishment of the offices=20 of the five-fold ministry within the Body of=20 Christ. We are entering into the greatest age of=20 the Church this earth has ever seen, and there=20 will be many raised up in this last hour as=20 apostles and prophets for the edification of the=20 Body of Christ. Let us receive them for what they=20 are: "gifts" sent from God, and receive the=20 revelations that God has given them with a view=20 to acting upon them in the power and unction of=20 the Holy Spirit. The hour is late, and there is a=20 great deal of work to be done before the Lord=20 returns. But by His Strength and Might we will=20 accomplish the task, and Satan and all of his=20 forces, shall indeed be ashes under the soles of our feet!

SEVEN=20 DEFINITE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE "TRUE" PROPHET OF GOD

With all these things which have just=20 been written in mind here are seven definite=20 characteristics of the true prophet of God. As=20 the children of God study and meditate on these=20 points, and as they open their heart to the Word=20 of God by giving Him His rightful place on the=20 throne of their heart, they will not be deceived=20 by Satan IN ANY WAY concerning the ministry of=20 the "true" handmaidens and bondservants" in this=20 last hour. They will be able to distinguish=20 between those who do and those who do not serve=20 God, between the righteous and the wicked, and=20 between the holy apostles and prophets of God and=20 the false apostles and prophets established by Satan.

1. They reverence God in all that they do.

2. They proclaim the Truth in all that they do=20 - continually glorifying the Father, and exalting=20 the Name of Jesus to the greatest degree.

3. They keep themselves separated from all sin=20 and all manner of iniquity [unrighteousness].

4. They walk with God, and in His counsel at all times.

5. They teach and expound on the Word of God,=20 speaking the Truth in love at all times.

6. They turn many away from iniquity and help=20 lead the children of God into all the "fullness"=20 of the precious inheritance [salvation] that is theirs, in Jesus Christ.

7. They are the "messenger" of the Lord at all=20 times, and are a continual sign to the people of=20 God; a good sign to those who love the Lord their=20 God, and a constant "thorn" to those who forsake=20 their God to follow after the desires of their own flesh [self-desire].

"cur" - a mongrel dog; a mean or despicable person;

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father’s Heart]

[february 17th 2008]

+ The only people who are going to "stumble" in this final hour are those whose "heads" have become "too big" through the continued exercising of pride and self-exaltation and, thus, they are not able to discern the "position" of their feet [spiritual adultery - heart-fellowship with the world as opposed to both feet firmly planted in the Kingdom] [James 4:4]!

+ To the degree that "pride" is "found" in one’s heart it is to that degree that they shall "hold" to unforgiveness in some form.

+ To guard one’s heart with all diligence is to acknowledge Me in all one’s ways, and to acknowledge Me in all one’s ways is to guard one’s heart with all diligence [Proverbs 4:23].

+ All those in delegated authority who "maintain" ANY ground of "self-desire" shall "surely" allow themselves to be "held captive" by the Evil One to carry out his schemes against those who are ministering My Word in Spirit and in Truth [2 Timothy 2:26].

+ If one desires to "involve" themselves in another’s business [in a manner pleasing to Me] for that one’s greatest eternal benefit then they shall surely "pray" for them without ceasing and, in THIS way, fulfil My command for them to love one another [1 Thessalonians 5:17; 1 John 4:11-12].

LFGC : Many Children Of God Have Continued To Battle The Evil One And His Forces Using Weapons That Are Apart From The Word Of God - Weapons That Are Carnal In Nature, And Devoid ···

Glenn H. Jackson — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 18:18:51 +0000

THE LIFE OF FAITH AND THE GLORIOUS CHURCH febrUARY 16th

MANY CHILDREN OF GOD HAVE CONTINUED TO BATTLE THE EVIL ONE AND HIS FORCES USING WEAPONS THAT ARE APART FROM THE WORD OF GOD - WEAPONS THAT ARE CARNAL IN NATURE, AND DEVOID OF FAITH [LOVE]

…."For though we walk (live) in the flesh, we are not carrying on our warfare according to the flesh and using mere human weapons. For the weapons of our warfare are not physical (weapons of flesh and blood), but they are mighty before God for the overthrow and destruction of strongholds"….

2 Corinthians 10:3-4 Amplified Translation

…."In conclusion, be strong in the Lord - be empowered through your union with Him; draw your strength from Him - that strength which His boundless might provides. Put on God’s whole armour - the armour of a heavy-armed soldier, which God supplies - that you may be able successfully to stand up against all the strategies and the deceits of the devil. For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood - contending only with physical opponents - but against the despotisms, against the powers, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly [supernatural] sphere. Therefore put on God’s complete armour, that you may be able to resist and stand your ground on the evil day of danger, and having done all the crisis demands, to stand firmly in your place. Stand therefore - hold your ground - having tightened the belt of truth around your loins, and having put on the breastplate of integrity and of moral rectitude and right standing with God and having shod your feet in preparation to face the enemy with the firm-footed stability, the promptness and the readiness produced by the good news of the Gospel of peace. Lift up over all the covering shield of faith upon which you can quench all the flaming missiles of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation and the sword the Spirit wields, which is the Word of God. Pray at all times - on every occasion, in every season - in the Spirit with all manner of prayer and entreaty. To that end keep alert and watch with strong purpose and perseverance, interceding in behalf of all the saints [God’s consecrated people"…. Ephesians 6:10-18 Amplified Translation

It is time for every child of God to come to the "full realization" of who they are in Christ Jesus, and to discover the perfect [and unique] purpose that the Father has for them in their remaining time on the earth in this dispensation. For the most part, many children of God have continued to battle the Evil One and his forces using "weapons" that are apart from the Word of God - weapons that are carnal in nature and, thus, devoid of faith. This is futile, of course, and is purely a scheme [deception] of the Evil One intended to keep the child of God "neutralized" in their efforts against the domain of darkness. If Satan is able to deceive one into "thinking" that they are accomplishing the will of the Father in their "prayer-life" - when, in reality, they are on a path that will end in some form of trap for themselves - then the Evil One will never suffer any harm to his strongholds, and sad to say, will even be able to use the "good", but misguided intentions of that one to further his vile attacks on the children of God, and to hinder the furthering of the Kingdom of God [and the Glorious Church] in the earth.

EVERY CHILD OF GOD MUST HAVE A REVELATION OF THE FACT THAT EVERYTHING WITHIN THE "WORLD SYSTEM" OF THE EVIL ONE IS A COUNTERFEIT OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD - AND HIS [THE FATHER’S ]METHOD OF DOING THINGS!

It is for this reason that we must draw near to our Heavenly Father and come to "abide" in His Word - for it is only through intimate fellowship with Him that we will be able to discern ALL that Satan attempts to hinder and destroy us with. Let us make no mistake! It is his vile intention to put each Christian walking this earth out of "commission" - for literally our "commission" is to destroy the works of Satan in this earth. In other words, we, as children of God are called to break down and remove every trace of the product of the law of sin and death [which is the manifestation of the evil that came into this earth when Adam fell]. As each believer continually operates in the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus [Romans 8:2] they, by the power of the Greater One within them [the Holy Spirit] will drive out the forces of death at every turn. For too long, many children of God have remained in a form of "heart-fellowship" with the world and its ways - thus remaining under bondage, without realizing it, to a system whose author is Satan himself! Every child of God must have a "revelation" of the fact that "everything" within the "world system" of the Evil One is a counterfeit of the Kingdom of God, and His [the Father’s] method of doing things! Many continue to ignore what the Father has said about His children "remaining by choice" in the world system but it is written:

…."you adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God"…. James 4:4 NASB

WE MUST BEGIN - WITH A HOLY VIOLENCE - TO SHATTER THE LIES THAT HAVE BECOME DOCTRINE AND TRADITION IN MANY PARTS OF THE CHURCH!

Many children of God have been deceived into thinking that certain parts of the "world system" [that which is bound and held by the spirit of anti-christ] are acceptable to operate in, but as that system continues to perish more rapidly with each passing day the Christian who ignores God’s provision for their prosperity [spirit, soul, body and financially] will surely lose all that they have "staked" in a system that is geared to fail [only Love - and all thereof - NEVER fails], and is run by the "king of failure". The reason why Satan guards his money system so vehemently, and continually attempts to fuel the "love of money" in the heart of the true believer is due to the fact that he must keep a tight grip on the finances of the Christian in order to "maintain" his evil schemes against them. If one succumbs to his schemes, in any way, in this area it will keep them in a form of "relative poverty" - a poverty and lack that prevents them from pouring out resources for the spread of the "Gospel of the Kingdom". Now is the time for EVERY Christian to realize that we were not meant to live in this earth outside of or apart from our Father’s Word - which is the fullness of our provison! We must begin - with a holy violence - to shatter the lies that have become doctrine and tradition in many parts of the church - at all cost to ourselves! This is most certainly part of our "warfare", and we will SURELY need to be found operating in the "fullness" of our wondrous provision in Christ at ALL times in order to overcome on ALL fronts in these most critical days!

AS THE CHILD OF GOD’S EYES ARE OPENED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT THEY WILL WONDER IN AMAZEMENT AS THEY SEE THE EVIL ONE IN THE LIGHT OF WHAT JESUS DID TO HIM AT CALVARY WHEN HE STRIPPED HIM OF HIS AUTHORITY!

In Isaiah 14:16 the Word of God - in speaking of the total demise of the Evil One - states:

…."those who see you [Satan] will gaze at you. They will ponder over you stating "is this the man who made the earth tremble" who shook kingdoms, who made the world like a wilderness and overthrew its cities, who did not allow his prisoners to go home?"….

As the child of God’s eyes are opened by the Spirit of God they will wonder in amazement as they see the Evil One in the light of what Jesus did to him at Calvary when He stripped him of everything he had. One of the main problems in the midst of God’s people has been that many children of God are still "allowing" themselves to remain in bondage to a spirit of fear simply because they have chosen to remain in the "domain" [the world] of the Evil One - where fear only fuels more fear, lust only fuels more lust, darkness only fuels more darkness etc. Quite simply, if the child of God chooses to "fellowship" with the world and its darkness, fear [self-agenda and self-desire] will be the root motivation for ALL that proceeds forth from them and, thus, they will not be able to bear ANY good fruit for the Kingdom! The reality behind their situation being that although this path of fear may "seem" proper - its end is the way of death [and darkness]!

THEY HAVE MADE THEMSELVES "STRANGERS" TO THE COVENANTS OF PROMISE

On the other hand, as the child of God forsakes all that is of this world and turns their "undivided attention" to the Word of God, they will begin to bear a maximum fruit - maximum fruit that is the perfect result of a life based on an absolute faith in God’s Word. And, thus, all that they do will be a product of sowing to the Spirit which, in turn, will reap the absolute life that is the true birthright of EVERY child of God. The time has come for every one who would call themselves a "Christian", to put aside ALL of the lies and traditions that have hindered the Church for so long, and begin to meditate in the Word of God night and day [Joshua 1:5-8]! For the time has come to "pick up" the sword of the Spirit and the shield of faith, and step out boldly against Satan and his forces in order that we might fulfil the fullness of the Father’s plan concerning the Glorious Church - and hasten the return of our beloved Lord. As Satan lashes out violently in this last hour [due to his terror and panic at the soon advent of a Glorious Church] many of God’s children have left themselves nearly "unprotected" because they have "made themselves" strangers to the covenants of promise found in the Word of God [Ephesians 2:12]. In spite of the fact that they have been born-again they have - by an act of their will - refused the "fullness" of the wondrous birthright and inheritance [salvation] that they have in Christ Jesus and because of this, ultimately, the Father is left on the outside looking in as Satan begins to move violently [forcefully] against those who have allowed themselves to be held captive by the spirit of rebellion. This word that was given to me [below] will clarify this whole area - which is of great concern to our loving Father. Let us be those who are found "abiding" in an absolute faith [love and obedience]- for it is in that place that the "weapons of our warfare" will remain "fully functional" at all times, and in every situation that we are confronted with.

Thus saith the Lord God:

"The time for playing at Church is over! My children must realize the seriousness of their calling. Many of My children still stubbornly refuse to yield to the voice of My Spirit, and because of this they shall "allow" themselves to suffer great harm at the hands of the Evil One if a deep and thorough repentance is not forthcoming. There is not one of My children anywhere in the earth who, in the last few months, has not in some form, heard the urgent call to draw nearer to Me. Am I not a just God? Would I allow the Evil One to gain an advantage on My precious ones in any way - apart from their own will? Truly, truly I say to you NO! Is My covenant, that was ratified by the precious Blood of My dear Son, of no avail to My children? It grieves My heart deeply to see those whom I have loved from the foundations of the earth, "make themselves" strangers to the covenants of promise. For what earthly father, having made provision for all of the needs of his children only to watch them carelessly and recklessly wander outside the boundaries of his provision, would not suffer the deepest sorrow of heart. For in his heart he knows that there is no way to survive [overcome] for his children in the place they have chosen to remain? Nonetheless, My day [the day of the Lord] has come, the time of times, the age of ages and blessed are all those who will harken to the voice of My Spirit - for they shall SURELY see My Glory in this most glorious hour!"…. Amen

EOTF : “Time” does not truly matter until the “fullness of time” [Galatians 4:4-6]

Glenn H. Jackson — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 16:09:33 +0000

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father’s Heart]

[february 16th 2008]

+ "Time" does not truly matter until the "fullness of time" [Galatians 4:4-6].

+ In this last hour, as the "spirit of rebellion" [antichrist] operating in the midst of My people is "driven out" before the onslaught of My holy apostles and prophets truly I say to you, it shall leave them a "clear path" to the "spirit of death" [darkness] that has kept many of My children in bondage - up until this time!

+ If one bases a decision or their discernment in any given situation apart from "the Anointing factor" [that is My supernatural ability to effect ALL things according to My Will through the power of My Spirit] [1 John 2:27; John 16:13;] not only shall they "allow" themselves to be held captive by a "spirit of deception" but they shall also surely - and immediately - fall short of My highest purpose and plan concerning them, and all those with whom they have to do in that situation.

+ Every situation has the potential to "look" or "seem" hopeless without "the Anointing factor" [Christ - the Anointed One and His Anointing] taken into "full" consideration.

+ Praising Me is excellent and worshipping Me is wonderful but the highest expression of love for Me [and an absolute and continual thanksgiving] is for one to "abide" in perfect obedience [love] [John 14:15,21,23; John 15:10].

+ An absolute faith [trust, love and obedience] is the highest form of praise, thanksgiving and worship.

LFGC : Divine Blessing

Glenn H. Jackson — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 17:40:00 +0000

THE LIFE OF FAITH AND THE GLORIOUS CHURCH febrUARY 15th

DIVINE BLESSING

…."Let them shout for joy and rejoice, who favour My vindication; and let them say continually, ‘The Lord be magnified, who delights in the prosperity of His servant’. And my tongue shall declare Thy righteousness and Thy praise all day long"…. Psalm 35: 27-28 NASB

"Blessing" is another one of those words that Satan has attempted to corrupt in the thinking of God’s children ["grace" would be another example]. Many have come to the place wherein the meaning of this word is that "they" are going to receive something - and to a degree that is true. But the spiritual reality behind all "blessing" is that we receive it [spirit, soul, body or financially] from the Father for a purpose - "His" purpose. In a person’s life everything that they attempt to gain or receive is going to be directed towards one of two purposes: for the glory of God or for themselves [self-glory and self-gratification]. Whether people claim to be serving God or not they are either going to be operating in a spirit of faith or in a mind-set of self-effort and self-sufficiency [self-desire] - with a view to their own self-glory. If a Christian is truly "wholly" given to God, if they are truly empowered by Him, and if they are truly seeking the fullness of His purpose THEN they need have no fear of receiving anything that belongs to Him. Why? Because as one is consistent in exercising their faith and walking in obedience THEN the fear [reverence] of the Lord is established in their heart, and their entire walk becomes divinely empowered. In this place of divine empowerment the motivations of their heart will be for one purpose - and one purpose alone - and that is to glorify God to the greatest degree in ALL things.

THE KEY BEHIND THE PRINCIPLE OF DIVINE BLESSING

When you hear the word "bless" or "blessing" I want you to think "empower" and "empowering". The key behind the principle of ALL divine blessing is this: we are "blessed to be a blessing". We are empowered to empower. We are partakers of the divine nature in order to release that divine nature abiding within us into the lives of all those who cross our path. We are filled with the Father’s love to love. We are filled with His peace and wisdom to impart peace and wisdom. We are filled with His grace to impart grace. If the Christian EVER loses sight of this Kingdom principle THEN they will SURELY be caught in the trap of "hording" - even the blessings of God [the empowerment of God] for themselves, and for their own purposes [agendas]. They will use the divine blessings in order to establish "themselves" rather than the Kingdom of God and the Glorious Church - according to the highest purpose of the Father.

THEIR MOTIVATION WILL REMAIN RIGHTEOUS REGARDLESS OF THE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE AND DARKNESS THAT CONFRONTS THEM

If the Christian has a deep revelation that they are "blessed to be a blessing" then, again, as they continue on day by day in faith, love and obedience, a holy reverence for the purposes of the Father will be established deeply in their heart - and that "reverence" will manifest spontaneously - regardless of what circumstances they find themselves in. In other words, their motivation will remain "righteous" [in perfect accordance with the will of the Father] regardless of the amount of pressure and darkness that confronts them - and they will NOT set their heart on any "increase" that enters into their life.

WE CANNOT BE HOLY IN OUR OWN STRENGTH!

Every child of God MUST come to the full realization that we cannot be holy in our own strength. We cannot revere God in our own strength. We cannot serve God in our own strength - and, indeed, it is certain that we need the totality of His divine empowerment for we can do NOTHING apart from Christ that is of any value whatsoever! It was a simple principle that Jesus spoke when He stated, "You can do nothing apart from Me", but it is absolute, and ONLY those who have a revelation burning "brightly" [actively] in their heart of this spiritual truth will be found "fit" to enter into the fullness of their Kingdom-position - a position that will call for them to ascend to the "mountain top" and remain there [through a continued faith and obedience] for the remainder of this dispensation. As mentioned earlier, in this holy place one shall come to "abide" in the fullness of their authority in Christ, and even though they "physically" continue to walk this earth - spiritually speaking they will be vessels of holy fire sent forth from the Throne Room - perfect representatives of both the Father and the Son in ALL that they say and do!

IT IS THE FATHER’S DESIRE TO POUR FORTH THE FULNESS OF HIS GLORIOUS PROVISION IN ORDER THAT HE MIGHT IMPACT THE EARTH IN A MANNER THAT IS VIRTUALLY INCOMPREHENSIBLE - EVEN IN LIGHT OF PAST "GLORIES"

In these most glorious days the Father is establishing His Will in the earth and, thus, He is raising up a people who are committed to His Will - and His Will alone! And now it is His desire to pour forth the fullness of His glorious Provision in the midst of all those whose hearts are wholly given to Him [to His most holy purposes] - in order that He might impact the entire earth in a manner that is virtually incomprehensible - even in light of past "glories". The days ahead will be so glorious that it is almost dangerous to look backwards and find ourselves "focussing" on even those things that the church [particularly the early church] did in obedience. We must come to a clear realization that they were but forerunners - seeds and "glimpses" and patterns of the fullness of the Glory of God that is about to be poured forth upon all flesh.

WITHOUT A DEEP AND ABIDING REVELATION OF THE CROSS: OBEDIENCE UNTO DEATH OF THE SELF-LIFE [SELF-DENIAL] THEN ONE WILL FALL FAR SHORT OF THE GLORY IN THIS FINAL HOUR AND, THUS, THEY WILL MISS THE ULTIMATE GOAL AND PURPOSE OF THE FATHER FOR THEIR LIFE AND MINISTRY

The Father’s plan for this final hour is not complicated - in fact it is very simple! But the truth of the matter is that if one does not have a proper heart-position before Him they will NEVER come to a clear understanding of the fact that they have been "bought with a price", and that He requires a "perfect obedience" from them - in order that HIS will might be fulfilled perfectly in the earth. Without a deep and abiding revelation of the Cross: obedience unto death of the self-life [self-denial] then one will fall far short of the Glory and, thus, they will miss the ultimate goal and purpose of the Father for their life and ministry. The simple fact of the matter is that if one is in ANY form of heart-fellowship with the world then they are in a position wherein they will not even be able to "see" or understand the true path that the Father has for them - even though it is not far from them in any given moment.

THE REALITY OF THIS DAY IS SIMPLY THIS: GOD IS COMING ON THE SCENE!

As these various things "divinely" unfold in this final hour we are going to need to be a people who are "acclimatized" to the presence of God. We need to be a people who - in maintaining right fellowship and relationship with the Father - begin to truly understand His heart [character]. But, most of all, we need to be a people who understand His "absoluteness" - for it is from this place of understanding [revelation] that one is able to begin to comprehend the awesomeness of His Glory [presence] and Majesty. The reality of this day is simply this: God is coming on the scene! He has a remnant people who are ready, and He is going to shake the earth in every sphere of its activity in a matter heretofore unseen - and, ultimately, every person walking the face of the earth who has reached the "age" of accountability will be brought to the point of "absolute decision" [for or against God] - first in the church, and then throughout the earth.

EOTF : Fear and unbelief block the “way” [John 14:6]

Glenn H. Jackson — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 16:18:54 +0000

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father’s Heart]

[february 15th 2008]

+ Fear and unbelief block the "way" [John 14:6].

+ If one has their eyes "fixed" on physical food [as a form of soulish attachment] then they shall SURELY be found "slow of heart" to do My Will.

+ The root of ALL self-exaltation is rebellion against Me [Isaiah 14:12-17].

+ Always remember, that a "spirit of rebelliousness" can be very subtle in its operation in the midst of My people and yet, having said this, the root [ground] is the same perverse root that operates in those who are blatantly [openly] rebellious against Me, and when "self-desire" - and the self-agenda that is its spontaneous fruit - are "confronted" by divine light [revelation] it will manifest itself openly in a "rampant emotionalism".

+ One cannot "oversee" something if they are continually standing in the midst of it! They must - spiritually speaking - remain "above it" at all times and, positionally-speaking [physically] they must also remain "separated" unto Me - according to the instruction of My Spirit.

"rampant" - inflamed; uncontrolled;

LFGC : “divine Light”

Glenn H. Jackson — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 17:49:57 +0000

THE LIFE OF FAITH AND THE GLORIOUS CHURCH febrUARY 14th

"DIVINE LIGHT"

…." For this reason also, since the day we heard of it, we have not ceased to pray for you and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that you may walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all steadfastness and patience; joyously giving thanks to the Father, Who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. For he delivered us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the Kingdom of His beloved Son, in Whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. And He is the image of the invisible God, the first born of all creation. For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities - all things have been created by Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in him all things hold together"…. Colossians 1:9-17 NASB

…." In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being by Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend (overpower) it. There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John. He came for a witness, that he might bear witness of the light, that all might believe through him. He was not the light, but came that he might bear witness of the light. There was the true light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man. He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him, but as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth"…. John 1:1-14 NASB

…."For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through Him. He who believes in Him is not judged; He who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only be gotten Son of God. And this is the judgement, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their deeds were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who practices the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God"…. John 3:16-21 NASB

As the child of God continues on in their earthly walk, both meditating on and studying the Word of God, they will experience an ever deeper revelation of "divine light" [revelation]. Light is first mentioned in Genesis 1:3 when God spoke and said, "Let there be light" or "Light be!". From this early beginning in God’s Word we are able to establish clearly the fact that light is the essence of the predominant force [God] that rules this universe.

In 1 John 1:5 the Word of God states that:

….God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all"….

1 Peter 2:9 states:

…."but you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a Holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him Who has called you out of darkness into His marvellous light"…..

Colossians 1:12 states:

that we are qualified "to share in the inheritance of the saints in light".

Ephesians 5:7-13 states:

…."For you were formerly darkness, but now you are light in the Lord; walk as children of light for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness and righteousness and truth, trying (proving) what is pleasing to the Lord. And do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but instead even expose them…..All things become visible when they are exposed by the light, for everything that becomes visible is light"….

We, as children of the most high God, are called to walk in the light - as He Himself is in the light - that we might have fellowship with one another, knowing that the blood of Jesus continually cleanses us from all sin. As we seek the Father and His Word "whole-heartedly" - day in and day out - we shall have developed within us a deep desire to have the Holy Spirit [Who is the Spirit of wisdom and revelation] shine His light into our heart of hearts - exposing and driving out the darkness of our own human understanding and filling us with godly Wisdom and Knowledge. Diligence in this matter causes one to stand holy and blameless before the Father in ALL that they do and say, and also empowers them to rise above any bondage to a "sin-consciousness" - thus allowing them to walk in the fullness of their wondrous inheritance in Christ Jesus. It is only in this place of "abiding" in the fullness of our inheritance [salvation] that we will come to base our lives entirely on the Word [Will] of God - and who He says we are in Him - as opposed to "mentally" ascending to the Word of God and living lives based on "our" feelings, and who we "think" we are [or are NOT] in Christ - all based on the lies of the Enemy.

THOSE WHO YIELD TO THE FATHER’S LOVING INSTRUCTION SHALL HAVE MANIFESTED IN THEIR LIVES, THE PEACEFUL FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

A vast majority of believers still adhere to their five physical senses as the "final" authority in their lives, and this is a practice which must - and shall - end in the church! As we seek to walk as "children of light", ALL that is a product of darkness shall be exposed and driven out by the light of the consuming fire of the Holy Spirit as we diligently spend time in the "inner chamber" - on a daily basis. We must NEVER fear the Holy Spirit and His convicting power, but rather welcome His presence in our heart - for He has been sent to teach us ALL things, and to draw us EVER nearer to the Father and His Word. As we yield to His gentle voice we shall surely be found growing in Christ. Many believers, because of the hardness of their heart, continue to move away from the Father and His Word - having continually "maintained" the desire to follow after their own agendas and interests and, because of this, darkness "pervades" their consciousness. When the Word of God enters [having been "allowed" in], bringing with it the light of God, the child who has resisted to any degree the loving call of their Father will be "chastened" [instructed, reproved], and while it may initially "seem" harsh, in reality, it is always for their "greatest good" so that they might share His Holiness. Those who yield to the Father’s loving instruction shall have manifested in their lives, the peaceful fruit of righteousness - that is to say, they will come into perfect conformity to the will of the Father in purpose, thought and deed [action], resulting in right living and right-standing at all times [having been transformed by the renewing of their minds, washed by the water of the Word of God]. It is with this goal in mind that we pursue peace with all men and holiness without which NO ONE will see the Lord in us. We are the light of the world, and are to prove ourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God, above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation among whom we appear as lights.

WE SHALL BE [AS THE GLORIOUS CHURCH] A STRONG AND BRIGHT LIGHT TO A DYING WORLD IN THIS LAST OF THE LAST HOUR

In John 8:12 Jesus said:

…."I am the light of the world; he who follows Me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life"….

In John 9:5 Jesus said:

…."While I am in the world, I am the light of the world"….

We, as the Body of Christ, have been handed the Great Commission [Matthew 28:18-20, Mark 16:15-20], and are God’s representatives in the earth. We, literally, ARE the light of this world - an evil and darkened world that has no way to the Truth other than through us. It is precisely for this reason that we are to be a cleansed and pure vessel of the love, life and light of God in order that we might appear as lights amidst a crooked and perverse generation - for it is through us that many will come to see the "living Christ" in this final hour. Without the presence of the Body of Christ in the earth, darkness would continue to prevail over the hearts of men to a continually greater degree, but as we are prepared and sanctified for the Master’s use, and as we empty ourselves and are filled and consumed by the mighty Spirit of God, we shall be - as the Glorious Church - a strong and bright light to a dying world in this last of the last hour. How important it is for EVERY believer to lay aside any hindrance to their relationship [fellowship] with the Father and His Word. All those who truly love God must continually cast aside ANY element [ground] of sin in their lives - the sin that has kept them from running the true race set before them, and made their light "dim" - UP UNTIL THIS TIME. As the child of God keeps their eyes "fixed" on Jesus [the Word] they will no longer view things or circumstances around them through fleshly eyes, but rather they shall come to view ALL things [including themselves] in the light of the Word of God and the heart of the Father towards them.

"sin-consciousness" - any belief or mind-set that constitutes one "believing" that that which they have actually been redeemed from is still to be in force in their life [Romans 8:1-2;];

"righteousness-consciousness" - a continual awareness of who we "actually" are in Christ [1 Corinthians 1:30; 2 Corinthians 5:17];

Related Scriptures: 1 John 1:9; Psalm 119:130; Hebrews 12:11; Romans 12:1-2; Ephesians 5:26-27; Philippians 2:15;

EOTF : Truly I say to you, it is impossible for one to be so “heavenly-minded” that they are of no earthly good UNLESS that so-called ···

Glenn H. Jackson — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 16:09:31 +0000

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father’s Heart]

[february 14th 2008]

+ Truly I say to you, it is impossible for one to be so "heavenly-minded" that they are of no earthly good UNLESS that so-called heavenly-mindedness is rooted and grounded in a "spirit of mental ascent" [self-desire] [Colossians 3:1-3].

+ Those who "allow" themselves to be held captive by a "spirit of stubbornness" [avoidance] continually "avoid" the "fullness" of the call upon their life for the simple reason that they have "believed" the lie of the Evil One to a certain degree that they would somehow suffer "loss" which would be detrimental to their greatest well-being - and, thus, they continue to formulate their "own" security [comfort zones]! Truly I say to you, there would indeed be "loss" as My children enter into the place of abiding in perfect obedience! There would be the "loss" of any and all "ground" that, up until that time, Satan had used to formulate his schemes against them and, thus, keep them out of the "fullness" of their inheritance - and it would also cause them to "lose" the fear and the "ungodly desires" [self-desires] that were a product of believing Satan’s lies! There are many of My children who have "allowed" themselves to be caught in this snare, and even though they "sense" that they are "lacking" My greatest blessings [and the fullness of ministry] they are not aware as of yet that their faith is not focused in EVERY way on My perfect and absolute will for their life and ministry - even though their heart is "wholly given" to Me. I shall send forth My holy apostles and prophets in this hour, and "great light" shall shine forth in the midst of My people, and all those whose heart is toward Me shall receive immediate "enlightenment" as to their individual situation. And they shall "clearly" see all that they need to see. And, thus, they shall [some for the first time] begin to "fix" their eyes upon - and exercise an "absolute" faith towards - all of the "fullness" that I have for them - spirit, soul, body, and financially. And, thus, because of these things that I have just spoken, they shall no longer "avoid" perfect fellowship and communion with Me.

+ Leaning upon one’s "own" understanding is the ultimate act of selfishness [Proverbs 3:5-6].

+ If one is not diligently practicing self-denial then they are "diligently" practicing self-indulgence.

+ Sin "always" complicates [confuses] things but obedience "never" complicates things - but, rather, ALWAYS brings great clarity into every situation.

+ To all those held captive by a "spirit of stubbornness": fast, pray and obey - and perfect liberty shall be forthcoming [2 Corinthians 3:17].

LFGC : “partakers” Of The Anointing

Glenn H. Jackson — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 18:51:27 +0000

THE LIFE OF FAITH AND THE GLORIOUS CHURCH febrUARY 13th

"PARTAKERS" OF THE ANOINTING

…."And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ; until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ. As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming; but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ, from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by what every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love"…. Ephesians 4: 11-16 NASB

As God’s children "receive" the words spoken or written by the bondservants and handmaidens that He has raised up [and continues to raise up in this the Third Day [Hosea 6:1-3]] for the perfect edification of those whose hearts are wholly given, they become "partakers" of the anointing on that ministry. The Father is then enabled to "elevate" them from faith to faith, obedience to obedience, and glory to glory - right into the fullness of their precious inheritance in Christ. They, in turn, [after having "assimilated" the aforementioned truth and anointing into their inner man] go forth to be vessels of "elevation" to all those the Lord places in their path. In the simplest of terms it is this "filtering down" process by which we shall become the "Glorious" Church - a Church without spot or wrinkle.

A SPIRIT OF CLARITY AND WISDOM IS BEING RELEASED

In this time, as we begin to see the "first fruits" of the glorious outpouring of the Holy Spirit, many things almost seem "unreal" to those who are reaching out in faith, love and obedience for the Father’s "best" and highest purpose for their life and ministry. As the warfare between the Church and the kingdom of darkness escalates there are many "counterfeits" attempting to come forth in the midst of God’s people. But there is a Spirit of clarity and wisdom being released in the midst of all those who truly love God that will cause the faithful heart to see clearly [through revelation] the simple, yet absolute, truth of His Word [Will]. Then they, in turn, will reveal the necessary ["irrefutable"] wisdom to "elevate" all those whom God leads across their path towards the fullness of their inheritance in Christ. This very process will cause all those who will "receive" these anointed words to rise above the "darkness" - and every manner of scheme that Satan and his forces have planned to hinder the establishment of the true Church. Ultimately, as we are faithful [both individually and corporately] to remain in perfect fellowship with the Father and His Word , every "religious" spirit ["counterfeiting spirit"] shall be driven out of the midst of the congregations of the righteous!

MANY HAVE TRIED TO "PATCH IN" THE TRUE APOSTLES AND PROPHETS TO A "PREVIOUSLY EXISTING STRUCTURE"

This is a matter that is very close to the heart of the Father in this hour. Many have tried - and failed miserably I might add - to "patch in" the true apostles and prophets to a "previously existing" structure. This will not, and cannot, happen for the simple reason that the "working together" of all five ministry offices cannot possibly become a "physical reality" apart from each and every one called to one of these offices having a "revelation" of the spiritual reality that lies behind the perfect plan of the Father for the establishment of bodies [congregations] of true believers in true spiritual environments [environments wherein the Holy Spirit is given full control]. The establishment of all aspects and facets of the True Local Church in this hour - the ministry offices included - is totally and fully dependent upon "revelation knowledge" from the Throne Room of God. Therefore, every tradition of man, every "doctrine of demons" and yes, even the slightest "preconceived notion" [mental ascension] to the will [Word] of God must be faithfully cast down and replaced by every believer. In order to have ALL darkness removed the inner man [spirit] must be "flooded continually" on a daily basis in one’s individual time with the Father and His Word in the "inner chamber" - and, also with the pure light of the absolute Truth that is going forth from the Throne Room through the holy apostles and prophets of God in this hour.

THE ESSENCE OF ALL "TRUE" RELATIONSHIP

There is much, much revelation about to come forth concerning the "inner working" of the five-fold ministry but, first, all those already "established" to a certain degree [the "fullness" of the various offices has not come into manifestation up until this time] must lay down "all" previous practices and traditions and preconceived notions of what is to come - regardless of how "spiritual" they may have appeared - or even "still" appear. The essence of all "true" relationship is based on our fellowship with - and our obedience to - the Father and His Word. Therefore, to the degree that a "vessel" in delegated authority sows to the flesh [continually leans upon their own understanding] it is to that degree that they remain apart from their true "Kingdom-position" and, thus, a vessel of the "darkness" that continues to produce the "disunity" and "disharmony" and "powerlessness" that - up until now - has been allowed to run rampant in even some of the most so-called "spiritual fellowships" or movements.

"EXPLOSION"

An "explosion" is about to take place in those apostolic and prophetic ministries throughout the entire Body of Christ who have been faithful to the Father’s highest purposes. All of the years of "seemingly" arduous preparation and steadfast perseverance in the "cave" has been "for such a time as this". There shall be a great "release" of finances and other resources that shall enable these ministries - both individually and corporately - to meet the deepest "needs" [both spiritually and physically] of the "vast multitudes" of God’s children who are about to repent and seek Him with a heart "wholly given". Again, there is about to be a major outpouring of resources into the hands of all those who have remained faithful to the highest purposes of the Father’s heart over the years, and it will not be too long before we, as the remnant Church, have "unlimited" funds to accomplish EVERY good and righteous work. In the case of many apostolic ministries a great part of those "good and righteous" works will include the establishing - both spiritually and financially - of the many apostolic and prophetic ministries that are about to come forth into the Body of Christ in great power and light. It will be a wonderful thing for us to see these ministries come forth with a "brashness" [boldness] and an "integrity" that is "unparalleled", save for the earthly ministry of the Lord Jesus, Himself - of which we are to be a perfect "extension". Glory to God!

"irrefutable" - incapable of being disproved;

"extend" [extension] - to prolong, continue; to spread out, expand;

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father’s Heart]

[february 13th 2008]

+ How can any one of My children hold to the "thought" that I am "unapproachable" when they have yet to make a steadfast and diligent effort to enter into perfect [intimate] fellowship with Me on a daily basis? If one does not take the "necessary" steps to draw near to Me then they shall "allow" Satan to deceive them into thinking that I am "unapproachable" and "uninterested" in the so-called "minor" details or aspects of their life. But truly I say to you, this is just a convenient excuse for one to lean upon their "own" understanding and "maintain" control in their own lives [and, thus, over the lives of others] - having "allowed" themselves to be deceived by the Evil One! Everything in this last hour hinges on the "position" of My children! Will they be seated at My right hand in the heavenly places with [in] Christ [Ephesians 1:17-23]? Or will they "fellowship" with the world, and "allow" themselves to be controlled by the spirit of darkness that enshrouds it [Isaiah 60:2]?

Truly I say to you, in this last hour the true "heart-position" of "every" last child of Mine shall be revealed and exposed for all to see, and once again one shall be able to distinguish between the one who "truly" loves Me and the one who does not; the one who "truly" serves Me and the one who does not [Malachi 3:18]. And thus, there shall be a great "confrontation" between those of My children "completely given" to abiding in love [perfect obedience] and those of My children who, through their "refusal" to draw near to My Word [Will] "maintain" a certain ground of pride and arrogance and rebellion towards "Me" [and, therefore, towards those who are truly seeking Me]. This is not a confrontation between "flesh and blood" but rather this is a "spiritual" warfare and battle [civil war ] of great significance! For on the one side My remnant of holy ones shall continually manifest a perfect love "towards" those of their brothers and sisters who are used by the Evil One to come against them and, thus, they shall "obliterate" and "devastate" the vast majority of the strongholds that Satan has been "allowed" to build in the "sons of disobedience". Because of these things, the "vast majority" of those who "had" been in rebellion against Me shall repent and they shall "mesh" with My glorious remnant so swiftly and smoothly that it shall seem as if they had never been apart!

Again I say to you, the aforementioned "confrontation" is in no way a confrontation between "flesh and blood"! In reality, it is the "final" and "greatest" confrontation in the church age between the Holy Spirit and the "spirit of anti-Christ"! The end result of this confrontation shall be that Satan and his forces are both devastated and "driven out" from the midst of all those of My children who truly love Me and, in the remaining time of the presence of My glorious Church in the earth there shall be "nothing" in Her midst to "hinder" the outworking of the final stages of My Plan to spread the "absolute truths" of the Gospel of the Kingdom throughout the earth [nations] - and, in a short time [relatively speaking], the "final" stages of My Plan for this dispensation shall be completed, and I shall "catch away" My faithful ones in that perfect moment [the fullness of time and destiny]!

LFGC : Faith =96 Love =96 Obedience: Three=20 Inseparable “catalysts” To The Perfect Release Of=20 God’s Power In The=20 Church=20

Glenn H. Jackson — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 04:17:09 +0000

THE LIFE OF FAITH AND THE GLORIOUS CHURCH febrUARY 12th

FAITH =96 LOVE =96 OBEDIENCE: THREE=20 INSEPARABLE "CATALYSTS" TO THE PERFECT RELEASE OF=20 GOD’S POWER IN THE=20 CHURCH=20

…. "you are to be perfect,=20 as your heavenly Father is perfect"….

= Matthew=20 5: 48 NASB

…. Truly, truly, I say to=20 you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless it=20 is something He sees the Father doing; for=20 whatever the Father does, these things the Son also does in like manner"…. = = John= =20 5:19 NASB

One thing that is very interesting to=20 note is that as the men and women of God have=20 operated in God’s purpose down through the ages,=20 we really see that distinct "air" of the=20 supernatural in everything that they did in=20 obedience to His commands. Nothing "just"=20 happened, everything had God’s hand directly upon=20 it. As we align ourselves with the deepest=20 thoughts and intentions of the Father’s heart,=20 and seek to walk only in His PERFECT will [first=20 gaining a "revelation" of that Will, and THEN=20 obeying the leading [unction] of the Holy Spirit]=20 we know that the "anointing" to carry out the=20 task that has been given us, "abides" within us.=20 We can, therefore, "expect" to walk in the pure,=20 unadulterated supernatural power of God - in=20 direct proportion to our perfect obedience to the=20 "prompting" of His Spirit. Many times,=20 manifestations of the supernatural are hindered=20 because of our failure to lift our eyes=20 "continually" up to the Word [Will] of God and,=20 thus, truly come to depend upon God’s power in=20 ALL things. To the "flesh" it is a "scary" thing=20 to place ourselves "continually" in the position=20 wherein we are "totally" out on God’s Word and=20 His power to such a degree that if God does not=20 come through on our behalf, then we are finished.=20 But once one truly places themselves out in a=20 position of absolute faith and trust [through the=20 denial of their "own" understanding] and, thus,=20 sees clearly that the Father is indeed watching=20 over His Word to perform it, THEN they shall come=20 to "expect" that "air of the miraculous", and=20 they shall be found "walking by [abiding in]=20 faith" - a term that has been greatly=20 misinterpreted and "mentally ascended" to - UP UNTIL THIS TIME!

ABIDING IN A "PERFECT=20 OBEDIENCE" IS NOT SOME FAR-FETCHED, UNREALISTIC GOAL FOR US IN THIS TIME

There are two important elements here=20 that come into play as one abides in perfect=20 obedience in any work of God. First, as one=20 continually walks from "revelation to revelation"=20 THEN one will have the deep assurance in their=20 heart - regardless of any "storms" or=20 circumstances around them - that what they are=20 doing and saying is bearing "maximum fruit" for=20 the establishment of the Church and the Kingdom.=20 It is certain that every "work" in this last hour=20 in the midst of God’s people will either be found=20 bearing "maximum fruit" for the Church and the=20 Kingdom of God or the spirit of antiChrist and=20 the powers of darkness - THERE WILL BE NO GREY=20 AREAS, NO MIDDLE GROUND! Secondly, as one is=20 faithful to remain on the "narrow path" EVERY=20 step of the way THEN Satan and his forces will=20 find no ground in them - or in their work - and=20 the forces of evil will be left standing=20 "outside" the umbrella of Covenant protection in=20 Christ [the precious Blood] that is, the=20 spontaneous by-product of a heart "wholly given"=20 - totally defenseless against the onslaught of=20 God’s faithful servants and the power of the Holy=20 Spirit"abiding" within them. This whole area of=20 abiding in a "perfect obedience" is not some=20 far-fetched, unrealistic goal for us. It is=20 simply a matter of a perfect and obedient=20 "separation" - in and by the Holy Spirit - from=20 the noise and clutter of the "world" and its=20 ways. The more complete the "separation" the=20 clearer the voice of the Holy Spirit - a simple, yet absolute Truth!

THE CALL=20 TO FORSAKE THE "BROAD PATH OF DESTRUCTION" AND ENTER INTO THE "NARROW PATH"

This is precisely why it is so=20 important for us to abide in that place [the=20 secret place of God’s presence - the "inner=20 chamber"] wherein "revelation knowledge" is both=20 "clear" and continuous. That way we are THEN=20 enabled to bring EVERY thought captive in every=20 "given" situation to the rock of revealed=20 knowledge. As one begins to diligently practice=20 this "bringing every thought captive" to the mind=20 of Christ it will soon cause them to "rise above"=20 the attempts of the Evil One and his forces to=20 distract, discourage, dishearten and eventually=20 cause them to disobey - or depart from the vision=20 [revelation] that they have of the Father’s will=20 for their life and ministry. Many, many children=20 of God allow - and I say "allow" - themselves to=20 remain right in the middle of the confusion and=20 "overwhelming" distraction of Satan’s scheme=20 against them because they still "maintain" some=20 form of unholy adherence to people or things.=20 These "unholy adherences" [emotional attachments]=20 only serve to provide the "false" comfort=20 [assurance] and false peace that comes through=20 one striving after that which gratifies the soul=20 [mind, will, emotions] but which, in reality, is=20 at enmity to the will of the Father. It is for=20 this reason that we are called to forsake ALL to=20 follow the will of God on the "narrow path" of=20 perfect obedience. It is only called "narrow"=20 because it signifies that there is "never" any=20 room on that Highway of Holiness that allows for=20 the burdensome trappings of a soul-life [and=20 physical body] that is kept in a position of=20 "dominance" over one’s spirit-man. The danger of=20 ANY child of God "maintaining" ANY soulish=20 activity in this hour is so clear, and there are=20 demonic hordes just waiting to be released for=20 the very purpose of "eliminating" those who have=20 enough revelation knowledge to "potentially" do=20 harm to the plans of Satan in this hour but who,=20 at this time, are "asleep in the light". Let us=20 be those who are found "alert" [sober - diligent]=20 and, thus, continually awakened [quickened] to=20 the various spiritual realities of the glorious=20 Kingdom of the One we serve - for as we "abide"=20 in the light of revelation knowledge [perfect=20 obedience] we shall surely be found devastating=20 Satan and his forces at every turn, and many=20 captives will be set free because of it!

EOTF : In many cases, some of My children are moved by a “knowledge” that is the counterfeit of “revealed” knowledge

Glenn H. Jackson — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 01:44:03 +0000

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father’s Heart]

[february 12th 2008]

+ In many cases, some of My children are moved by a "knowledge" that is the counterfeit of "revealed" knowledge. It is a knowledge that is based on the accumulated experience gained through the five physical senses, and its "unction" is rooted and grounded in a "spirit of self-gratification" [self-desire and self-serving]. In other words, the one speaking - either consciously or unconsciously - under the "unction" of this spirit [mental ascension and self-exaltation] is more concerned with hearing what they themselves have to say - with a view to their own self-desire and self-agenda being fulfilled, and also, many times, with a view to controlling [manipulating] the hearer.

+ Many times, I speak the "end" from the beginning - as I reveal My Will [promise] to those who are faithful of heart - for I know that I can trust them to allow Me to unfold all things. Because they can be trusted, I will SURELY be enabled to unfold the "fullness" of My purpose as they continue to walk from revelation to revelation and obedience to obedience. In this way [faith, love, and patience on their part], I am not only enabled to do exceeding abundantly beyond the initial glimpse [revelation] that was given - but I am also able to fulfil My highest purpose for all those with whom they have to do.

+ It seems that many "leaders" base their choice of those they would have minister in their congregation on the "reputation" of the minister rather than hearkening to the voice of My Spirit. Truly I say to you, one can have a "reputation" gained before "flesh and blood" but the "only" reputation that really counts is one’s reputation before Me. For a reputation gained before flesh and blood is based solely on what flesh and blood "thinks". A reputation gained before Me [and ordered by Me] is based on what I "know" to be in their heart, and in many cases it is these "ministers" that I have had a difficult time getting into the midst of the congregations. But, ultimately, I shall prevail, and I shall send forth My holy apostles and prophets to minister the Word in His "absoluteness", and I shall drive "all" fear - and the ground thereof - out of the midst of the congregations of all those who truly love Me [1 John 4:18]!

"reputation" - the general estimation in which a person or a thing is held by others;

LFGC : Many Children Of God Have Little Knowledge Of The “absoluteness” [fullness] Of The Ministry Of The Holy Spirit

Glenn H. Jackson — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 15:47:25 +0000

THE LIFE OF FAITH AND THE GLORIOUS CHURCH febrUARY 11th

MANY CHILDREN OF GOD HAVE LITTLE KNOWLEDGE OF THE "ABSOLUTENESS" [FULLNESS] OF THE MINISTRY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

…."The meek He will guide in judgement and the meek He will teach His way"….

Psalm 25:9 KJV

…."But the Comforter [Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, Standby] the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send in My name to represent Me and act on My behalf, He will teach you all things"…. John 14:26 Amplified Translation

…."But when He, the Spirit of Truth comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; He will disclose to you what is to come"…. John 16:13 NASB

…."If we live by the Holy Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. If by the Holy Spirit we have our life in God, let us go forward walking in line, our conduct controlled by the Spirit"…. Galatians 5:25 Amplified Translation

…."But as for you, [the sacred appointment, the unction] the anointing which you received from Him, abides permanently in you; so then you have no need that any one (flesh and blood) should instruct you. But just as His anointing teaches you concerning everything and is true, and is no falsehood, so you must abide, live never to depart, rooted in Him, knit to Him just as His anointing has taught you to do"…. 1 John 2:27 Amplified Translation

Each one of the above scriptures points out clearly the essence of the true Christian life. As we continue on with this teaching we will look closely at the ministry of the Holy Spirit and we shall see clearly what an absolute and wondrous blessing we have received in the Person of the Holy Spirit. We shall see just how important He is to us personally - and indeed to our entire calling and purpose [destiny] in this earth. Many children of God have little knowledge of the "absoluteness" [fullness] of the ministry of the Holy Spirit, and this MUST change before the church begins to walk in the fullness of the authority she has been given in Christ. As we look at the many different aspects of the ministry of the Holy Spirit we shall be enabled to see clearly how important it is for each and every believer to bring themselves into a position of total and absolute submission [yieldedness] to Him in EVERY facet of their lives. It is only when the awesome truth concerning the ministry of the Holy Spirit has been revealed to the heart of the believer that they will even begin to walk in the fullness of their calling [destiny] - and, having, submitted themselves to the deepest work of the Cross and the power of the "Spirit of the Cross", become that pure and clean "vessel" of the Father’s Love and Light to a world that is perishing rapidly in their sin and darkness.

EACH AND EVERY BELIEVER MUST KNOW THAT THEY ARE CALLED TO BE SEPARATED FROM FELLOWSHIP WITH THE WORLD AND ITS WAYS, AND LIVE A LIFE OF HOLINESS BEFORE THEIR HEAVENLY FATHER - FROM THE POSITION OF ABIDING IN THE PLACE OF A HEART "WHOLLY GIVEN TO HIM

As we have mentioned previously [many times], it is a most important thing for each child of God to have firmly established in their heart a revelation of the Divine Requirement set out for them in the Word of God [Luke 10:27]. Each and every believer must "know" [have a revelation] that they are called to be separated from fellowship with the world and its ways, and live a life of holiness before their Heavenly Father - which can only be done from the position of "abiding" in the place of a heart "wholly given to Him. Until the child of God comes to the full realization of this truth in their heart they will be bound by carnality to some degree, and will not be found walking as a representative of the "true" Christian life. This is a most urgent matter for the church to deal with! It is certain that the Word of God concerning holiness, and the ministry of the Holy Spirit must be taught and preached from every pulpit - for the hour is late and the flock MUST come to "know" the Voice of its Master. How are people to call upon the Holy Spirit and the Word in Whom they have no faith - and on Whom they have no reliance? And how are they to trust in and rely upon Him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without a preacher [Romans 10:14]?

IF A CHILD OF GOD CONTINUALLY NEGLECTS THE WONDROUS PROVISION OF DIVINE EMPOWERMENT THEY HAVE BEEN GIVEN IN THE HOLY SPIRIT, THEY WILL BE AN EASY TARGET

Many pastors within the church - and in particular amongst traditional denominational circles - are either ignorant of, or afraid of, putting forth the Word of God concerning the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. This has caused a very serious and dangerous situation to develop! In this last hour, Satan has begun to come against the household of God in a very intense and ferocious way - knowing that his time is short. He can sense the continually greater presence of the Holy Spirit in many parts of the Body of Christ with each passing day, and this strikes great fear and terror in his heart. Because of these things, he must continually attempt to keep the child of Godr who has not received a revelation of the Divine Requirement and the Baptism of the Holy Spirit in darkness. If a child of God continually neglects - in these most critical and glorious days - the wondrous provision of Divine empowerment they have been given in the Holy Spirit, they will be an "easy target" for the destruction and death that Satan is seeking to inflict upon every child of God who - by an act of their own will - chooses to make themselves a "stranger" to the covenants of promise found in the Word of God. The failure to adhere to the fullness of the wonderful salvation that the Heavenly Father has provided for each one of His children in Christ [Hebrews 1:14-2:4] shall surely result in some form of tragic devastation at the hands of the Evil One and his forces in this final hour. These words are very difficult for some who call themselves "Christian" to swallow but the reality is that we have entered into the fullness of time concerning ALL things - and the conflict of the Kingdoms is truly upon us. It is a time when EVERY child of God must make a "quality decision" to live their life ENTIRELY for God - for to approach things in ANY other way will be to leave a door wide open to the certain onslaught of Satan and his forces against all those who are not walking in the fullness of their precious Covenant with God, in Christ.

THE TRUE CHRISTIAN LIFE AND CALLING IS NOT SOME GAME!

The true Christian life and calling is not some game! It is a profound reality that is about to manifest corporately in the earth - and literally turn it upside down! Satan has continually attempted to stop the manifestation of the Glorious Church - and the great outpouring of the Holy Spirit [the former and the latter rains] that shall be her legacy - but he has failed, and shall continue to fail, miserably! Every child of God who is truly seeking to walk after the commandments of God will be led by the Holy Spirit to the place [spiritually and physically] - day in and day out - wherein they will have the opportunity to experience His fullness [life, light, love, wisdom etc]. It is the will of the Father for each and every one of His beloved children to be filled with His Spirit at ALL times. He knows - AND SO SHOULD WE - that we will need to operate continually in the fullness of our salvation [inheritance] in Christ to get the job done accurately and, thus, reap the maximum fruit and glory for the Kingdom that He has purposed [both individually and corporately].

EOTF : Faith works by love [Galatians 5:6b], and love walks above and beyond both “time and space” in its diligent [perfect] pursuit of My perfect purpose

Glenn H. Jackson — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 14:35:16 +0000

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father’s Heart]

[february 11th 2008]

+ Faith works by love [Galatians 5:6b], and love walks above and beyond both "time and space" in its diligent [perfect] pursuit of My perfect purpose. This is the way of the Kingdom.

+ Fear and unbelief are the number one enemy to abiding in a perfect obedience [2 Timothy 1:7].

+ If one’s "spirit-man" is not continually in dominance over their soul and body then it is to that degree that I do not have "first place" in their life [Proverbs 4:23].

+ I have called My holy apostles and prophets to speak the "absoluteness" of Truth in the "fullness" of conviction.

+ In any given moment, one is either practicing "self-denial" or "self-exaltation".

+ The "spiritual implications" of ANY given situation are immense [extremely important] - and potentially "tragic" ["unnecessarily" falling short of My perfect Will and Covenant protection] if one doe not continually pursue the fullness of destiny from the position of a heart "wholly given" [Luke 10:27].

+ All that which is the fruit [product] of self-desire is vainglorious, and profits NOTHING for the Church or the Kingdom [John 6:63]. All that which is the fruit [product] of godly desire ALWAYS glorifies Me to the greatest degree, and bears maximum fruit for both the Church and the Kingdom - on a continual basis.

LFGC : “women” Were Created By God To Be Faithful And Trusting

Glenn H. Jackson — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 02:31:37 +0000

THE LIFE OF FAITH AND THE GLORIOUS CHURCH febrUARY 10th

"WOMEN" WERE CREATED BY GOD TO BE FAITHFUL AND TRUSTING

…."Arise and thresh, daughter of Zion, for your horn I will make iron and your hoofs I will make bronze, that you may pulverize many peoples, that you may devote to the Lord their unjust gain and their wealth to the Lord of all the earth"…. Micah 4:13 NASB

…."Shout for joy, O daughter of Zion! Shout in triumph, O Israel! Rejoice and exult with all your heart, O daughter of Jerusalem! The Lord has taken away His judgments against you, He has cleared away your enemies. The King of Israel, the Lord, is in your midst; You will fear disaster no more"….

Zephaniah 3: 14-15 NASB

…."but this is what was spoken of through the prophet Joel: and it shall be in the last days,’ God says, that I will pour forth of My Spirit on all mankind; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams; Even on My bondslaves, both men and women, I will in those days pour forth of My Spirit and they shall prophesy"…. Acts 2:16-18 NASB

One of the chief desires of the Father’s heart in our remaining time in this dispensation is to establish His precious daughters in the fullness of their precious inheritance in Christ - this being the place wherein the "fullness" of true ministry [destiny] begins. I have been blessed superabundantly in meeting many fine handmaidens over the years, and as I pondered this fact this thought rose up in my heart:

"If you have created a greater blessing for a man than to see and experience the purity and faithfulness of a woman’s heart in action on their behalf, then I have not yet seen it."

Women were created by the Father to be faithful and trusting - and, thus, the deepest inherent tendency of their heart is to faithfulness, and the simple trust that they were created to exercise as an EQUAL "helper" to men for the express purpose of carrying out the will of God to perfection. The "world" uses the term "naive" in a derogatory and demeaning way but, in reality, the true essence of the term refers to a simple, childlike trust that is the spontaneous by-product of the tender and nurturing heart that the Father has placed in His daughters.

MEN WERE CREATED TO BE "TRUSTWORTHY"

As much as women were created to be faithful and trusting - "men" were created to be TRUSTWORTHY through a diligent and abiding fellowship with the Father and His Word - thus becoming vessels of His "trustworthiness" [faithfulness]. You can see from these things how much the system that the Father intended has broken down and, thus, in the rebellion and self-exaltive practices of vast multitudes of men, women [for the most part] become an easy prey for them - Satan and his forces being behind all of these things. While it is certain that we are all "one" in Christ, I continually marvel at the uniqueness and beauty of the heart of a godly woman, and it is my earnest prayer that the Father will raise up vast multitudes of GODLY men to pick up the slack that has left - for the most part - women handling the bulk of the load when it comes to "spiritual matters", and "faithfulness" before God and man.

THE "WOMEN" [DAUGHTERS] - A MOST GLORIOUS BLESSING TO THE BODY OF CHRIST

This is a most excellent time in the Body of Christ as the handmaidens are finally being raised up to their "proper place" in the Church. This matter is something that has been first and foremost on the Father’s heart for some time, and to see these precious hearts come forth in power and authority is an indescribable blessing - to say the least. Satan is running very scared of the fact that women are finally coming into the fullness of the Father’s will concerning their "true" ministry in the Church. So when you [the daughters of God] run across a "word" from those still in bondage to the "religious spirits", he [Satan] is simply clutching and grasping at straws to try and discourage [dishearten] you. His time is short and we, as the Church, are truly entering into a most glorious hour - an hour wherein all those [women included] who truly love God from a heart "wholly given" shall surely be vessels of devastation to Satan and his forces - at EVERY turn! My precious sisters, have no fear! Just keep on speaking and doing what the Father places on your heart - you are a glorious blessing to the Body of Christ that only eternity shall be able to fully reveal.

EOTF : The “secret sin” [sometimes not so secret] that many of My children “hold to” [sometimes unknowingly] is unforgiveness

Glenn H. Jackson — Sat, 09 Feb 2008 13:09:43 +0000

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father’s Heart]

[february 10th 2008]

+ The "secret sin" [sometimes not so secret] that many of My children "hold to" [sometimes unknowingly] is unforgiveness.

+ Unforgiveness is a state of heart that does not necessarily have anything to do with "physical circumstances". In other words, one may take offense at something someone has said or done and, thus, "allow" the spirit of unforgiveness to enter in - even though the one they have taken offense against has committed no sin against them.

+ There is more to perfect obedience than just "intending" to do it. There is no such thing as "good intentions" in the Kingdom - only righteous "activity".

+ There are very few of My children who are truly "walking" [abiding] in covenant with Me concerning their marriage.

+ One major aspect of the Covenant of Marriage that belongs to all those who truly enter into that Covenant with Me is that I - by My great and awesome power - shall keep it together regardless of what Satan may attempt to do. For their part all those who are in Covenant with Me need only abide in perfect love and obedience [both individually and corporately], and truly I say to you, all the power and resources of My Kingdom shall protect them [Ephesians 5:22-33]!

LFGC : The Child Of God Is To Be Prosperous In All Things

Glenn H. Jackson — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 18:37:22 +0000

THE LIFE OF FAITH AND THE GLORIOUS CHURCH febrUARY 9th

THE CHILD OF GOD IS TO BE PROSPEROUS IN ALL THINGS

…."Therefore I say unto you, take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your Heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: and yet I say unto you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore if God so clothed the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall He not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying what shall we eat? or what shall we drink? or wherewithal shall we be clothed? For all these things do the Gentiles seek; for your Heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof"….

Matthew 6:25-34 KJV

In this portion of God’s Word we see clearly that everything we need to sustain us physically in this life is included in the provision that God has made for each one of His children. As Jesus continues to speak we see how God has made the provision for all of our needs in order that we might take no thought or care for the meeting of our needs by our own strength. In verse 33 we are told to seek first the Kingdom of God "knowing" that God will take care of everything else. As the believer begins to focus their eyes [spiritual and physical] on seeking first the Kingdom, they are then on the road to living their life by faith - for they will have come to the realization that the Heavenly Father knows exactly what they need, in any given moment, and that He is quite capable of providing for them. In verse 31 Jesus says "take no thought" concerning the meeting of our needs. In other words, He is stating emphatically that we should take NO thought that raises itself up against the Word of God that clearly states that the Father is both willing and able to care for us. For the most part, the trend in this area of thinking in the church at large is "self-sufficiency". A false humility which says, "God does not want to hear of my little needs" raises itself up against the Word of God and, in reality, seeks only to have its "own way" [be in control] in all things. This lie and deception of the Evil One attempts to keep many children of God in an area of lack, struggling to meet their own needs - having been held in bondage to fear, worry, and unbelief. The child of God is to be prosperous in ALL things, not held down by the shackles of this world’s system of distribution, but rather they are to operate on the spiritual principles of the Kingdom found in the Word of God. It is a grievous sin for the believer to depend on their own strength for anything - in light of what God’s Word says! For we know that "whatever does not proceed from faith is sin", and our Heavenly Father longs to bless us and keep us in a manner that exceeds abundantly beyond all we could ask or think. It is in this area of material prosperity for our sustenance that Satan has blinded many children of God to the truth of the matter, and this causes many to walk in their own strength - devoid of faith - firmly basing all of their convictions upon the ways of the world and, because of this, they "allow" themselves to be held in bondage to the Evil One.

MANY CHILDREN OF GOD BECOME "OFFENDED" AT THE MESSAGE OF FAITH BECAUSE IT CONTINUALLY CHALLENGES THOSE PARTS OF THEIR WALK THAT ARE NOT BASED ON THE WORD [WILL] OF GOD

Many children of God become "offended" at the message of faith because it continually challenges those parts of their walk that are not based on the Word [Will] of God. They deem a life based on the desires of the "flesh" [old nature] a more precious thing to hold to than the life of abundance and blessing that the Father has in store for all those who love and trust Him. We, as believers, must awake to the realities of God’s Word, discarding all the lies which the Evil One has attempted to feed us in the church - up until this time. It is indeed a glorious day when the child of God awakens to the fact that the Word of God is true, and that all those thoughts and pre- conceived notions based on that which is outside the "revealed" Word of God are nothing less than lies of the Evil One. For too long the church at large has not walked anywhere near the "absolute life" that our Heavenly Father intended for us to walk in, and all because we would not believe the words He spoke to us - forsaking them to rely on our own strength in order to fulfil our own selfish desires. Each of us needs to be honest with ourselves and with God in this most critical hour. We must put aside our foolish ways and place our lives in their "entirety" in the Father’s loving hands - for the hour is late and there is much work to do! The days of the Evil One working from "within" the Church [that is, from the midst of those whose hearts are wholly given] are at an end, and the manifestation of the "Glorious Church" is near. We must remove "all" from our lives that initiates from [has been established by the hand of] the flesh and proceed boldly [in righteousness] toward the things of God. It is not surprising that Jesus referred to those who took thought and concern for their own well-being before relying on God, as those of "little faith". In saying this, Jesus was pointing to the fact that their faith was not developed very much and this, of course, was because they had become so used to meeting their own needs that they had lost sight of the fact that they were valuable in God’s sight, and that He is both willing and able to sustain them in every way as they carry out His will in the earth. This is no small problem in the church today! Many who would profess their faith in God for the New Birth continue to rely upon "themselves" in other areas [such as the meeting of their needs] - thereby displaying a deep mistrust in both the character of the Father and His Word. Satan has them deceived to the degree that they believe that God expects them to care for themselves. Many are content, in times of prosperity, to coast along enjoying their illusion of comfort, but in this last hour all that is of the "flesh" must be removed from the Body of Christ, for it is certain that all those who have been operating outside the Kingdom principles found in the Word of God will leave themselves open to attack by the Evil One!

THE MONSTER OF "CARNAL" CHRISTIANITY - A CARNAL STATE THAT REJOICES ONLY TO THE DEGREE THAT THE FLESH [SELF-DESIRE] IS GRATIFIED - IS SOON TO BE EXTINCT, AND THE EVIL ONE AND HIS FORCES WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE MIDST [BOTH INDIVIDUALLY AND CORPORATELY] OF THOSE CHILDREN OF GOD WHO ARE TRULY SEEKING FIRST THE KINGDOM!

Now is the time to consecrate ourselves unto the Lord and begin walk by faith [love] in ALL things. Now is the time to fill [saturate] our heart with the Word of God and, thus, come to the full realization that we have a glorious covenant with the God Who created Heaven and earth. Now is the time to harken unto the voice of the Lord and see Him as He truly is: the Great Provider, and the meeter of all of our needs. Let us not be deceived by the Evil One in thinking that we, in any way, outside the Spirit of God, are able to accomplish God’s will in this earth. For there is NOTHING that is good or useful in the flesh. Despite the fact that, to this point, the child of God may have to some degree been ensnared and deceived by the Evil One, they need only repent and begin to seek, with "all diligence", the narrow path set out for them in the Kingdom [God’s will]. For it is certain that, in doing so, the Father will restore them to where they should be in every area of their lives. One need not feel threatened by their previous sin and its consequences for when we confess our sins [from the heart] He is faithful and just to forgive us and to cleanse us from ALL unrighteousness and, thus, we need not fear in any way - for the Holy Spirit will SURELY lead us into all truth and our new position of abiding in faith will be pleasing to our Heavenly Father at every turn. It is NEVER too late to walk in God’s perfect will for our lives but, again, once we realize our service in the Lord has not been what it should have been it is certain that we must repent of our ways "whole-heartedly" [turn around and go the opposite direction where necessary], and begin immediately to sow to the Spirit in ALL things. When we "allow" ourselves to take a worry or care of the world Jesus Christ is no longer the primary focus in our walk for as long as we hold onto it. By walking in fear and anxiety we are in essence saying that God is not able or, even worse, not willing [both of which are lies] to meet our needs and, thus, by taking this thought - which was placed initially by Satan - we exalt that very thought above the Word of God. How innocent Satan has made reliance on "self" appear to the church at large, and from this insidious root comes a church that walks in a very small percentage of what she has been called to because she relies for the most part on worldly wisdom and human understanding rather than the Mighty Spirit of God. We can rejoice greatly in the fact that many are consecrating themselves to the life of faith in this hour - giving their ALL for the One Who gave His all for them. Could we be called to anything less than a life of absolute faith and trust in the Father and His Word? Indeed not! The monster of "carnal" Christianity - a carnal state that rejoices only to the degree that the flesh [self-desire] is gratified - is soon to be extinct, and the Evil One and his forces will be removed from the midst [both individually and corporately] of those children of God who are truly seeking first the Kingdom!

EOTF : If My children [through faith and revelation] are not continually “controlling” the evil spirits attempting to work around them, and even in them [through ···

Glenn H. Jackson — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 15:51:55 +0000

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.

LFGC : Perfect Environment And Perfect Empowerment

Glenn H. Jackson — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 17:08:27 +0000

THE LIFE OF FAITH AND THE GLORIOUS CHURCH febrUARY 8th

PERFECT ENVIRONMENT AND PERFECT EMPOWERMENT

…."In Your lovingkindness You have led the people whom You have redeemed; In Your strength You have guided them to Your holy habitation"….

Exodus 15:13 NASB

The Father has shown me in these days that every last bit of "resistance" to the flow of the Holy Spirit in the midst of the congregations of the righteous [those ones whose hearts are wholly given to the will of God] shall be completely purged and, because of this, there are many, many enjoyable times ahead for all those who truly love God. It will be from "enjoyment to enjoyment" and revelation to revelation and glory to glory in the presence of our loving Father from here on in. It is written, "in the presence of the Lord is the fullness of joy", and we [those] are about to enter into this in a very special and all-consuming way. It shall be from this abiding place of perfect "environment" and empowerment that the true [Glorious] Church shall be established throughout the earth, and the love of the Father shall flow forth in ever greater torrents to set free and deliver gloriously EVERY LAST ONE who shall truly call from their heart upon the name of Jesus.

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE PROPER "SPIRITUAL ENVIRONMENTS"

Up until this time, there have been many "seemingly" strange and diverse ways that the Father has "positioned" His children [those whose hearts are wholly given] in order to prepare them for entrance into the fullness of the ministry that they are being prepared for. Each and every experience and testing is but a "glimpse" into the fullness of the Father’s plan for our lives. Each and every trial and tribulation is but perfect preparation to enable us to "abide" in the place of true authority and power, in Christ. In this time, Satan is doing everything that he IS ABLE TO [allowed to] in order to confuse - and, thus, hinder - the Father’s plan to bring all those that He has called together ["glorious connections"] into the perfect "spiritual environments" that He has ordained from before the foundations of the earth.There are many who have a certain vision/dream [revelation] that they have held fast to for many years. In those years, the Father has dealt with them through many "cave-like" experiences, and through much persecution, trial and testing. He has brought them to the place wherein they have come to know Him intimately - a place wherein they have "begun" to understand His ways through a deep knowledge of His true character. I say "begun" because it is certain that we shall spend all of Eternity glorying in the very presence of His most awesome wisdom - and the tender and affectionate love that He has for each one of us.

SELF-MOTIVATED INDIVIDUALISM

In this hour, it is the will of the Father for His people to "truly" begin to function as a true body. It is His earnest desire that we depart from the place of "self-motivated individualism", and enter FULLY into the flow of the Holy Spirit [the Spirit of Love, the Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation etc.]. It is only from the place of abiding love and revelation that we, as the Body of Christ, shall enter into the one accord and the true unity of the faith that we are called to - WITHOUT EXCEPTION. The aforementioned "individualism" does not only apply to just an individual person, but also "entire ministries" and congregations. With these things in view, it is most important that EVERY child of God [who truly desires to fulfil all that which they were created for] set themselves apart unto the Father and His Word in a spirit of perfect consecration. As they do THEN whatever "final instructions" they need to receive to get them to the proper physical positioning and with the "proper" delegated authorities [and any other "members" of the Body] they are specifically called to be with. These places of refuge or true "spiritual environments" that the Father is establishing throughout the Body of Christ will be necessary for ALL of us [both individually and corporately] to fulfil the mandate we have been given in this last hour: first to lead the children of God into the fullness of their inheritance in Christ that they might "abide" in the perfect empowerment of the Holy Spirit and, secondly, gather the FULL harvest before we leave here.

THESE PAST FEW MONTHS HAVE BEEN BUT AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF MERCY AND GREAT GRACE

These past few months have been very interesting. It seems the Devil is still intent on "somehow" hindering any of those who are called to this "last wave" entering into not only their proper "physical positioning" but also their proper spiritual positioning - in Christ. I have watched Satan and his forces over a period of many years attempt to snuff out or at the very least "side-track" the lives and ministries that the Father is seeking to establish for "such a time as this". He has left no stone unturned in his [Satan’s] panic and fear and confusion to stop the steady and methodical onslaught against the "spirit of death" [darkness, fear, etc.] by a remnant [Glorious] Church that has been ordained from the Throne Room for this final hour. The end result of this "onslaught" will be the "driving out" with a "holy violence" of every last ground and trace of the "religious spirits" [particularly "controlling" (manipulating) spirits and the self-exaltive (selfish) spirits that fuel them] - found in the midst of the congregations of the righteous [those who truly love and desire the fullness of the Father’s will (destiny) for their life and ministry]. These past few months have been but an extended period of mercy and great grace towards all those who have even a "seed" of a desire for repentance, and the holy desire deep within their heart to enter into their true [ultimate] "Kingdom-position" - in Christ. Now, in these days, the heaviness of the Glory is beginning to descend [be poured forth] upon the church. Initially, this will immediately cause much turmoil and upheaval [shaking] on one hand in order to move us out of our "comfort zones" but, on the other hand, it shall cause ALL of God’s faithful ones to enter into the fullness of their authority, Covenant-prosperity and "destiny" in the midst of His people. This escalation in the outpouring of the Glory of God shall produce an abiding holiness and love that shall not only cause one to begin to overcome in ALL things but also cleanse the Church [remnant] of ALL defilement of flesh and spirit - through the continual pouring forth of holy fire.

EOTF : Those of My children that I have deemed “faithful” must remain “filled” with faith [My Word] [Romans 10:17]

Glenn H. Jackson — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 14:43:54 +0000

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father’s Heart]

[february 8th 2008]

+ Those of My children that I have deemed "faithful" must remain "filled" with faith [My Word] [Romans 10:17].

+ Revelation knowledge and faith are the keys to the reception, and proper handling, of all Kingdom [Covenant] blessing. If one seeks to obtain a "blessing" in or by natural means then that blessing - even though it constitutes the "appearance" of a Covenant blessing - in their "maintaining" of an element of "self-desire" that "blessing" shall surely be used to "gratify" a deep-rooted [hidden] soulish desire and, thus, fall far short of My intended purpose - for not only that one but for all those they were to be a blessing to.

+ "All" of My delegated authorities" are accountable before Me - in My Throne Room - for their handling of My "children" - regardless of how direct or indirect their "involvement" is - and they will be rewarded or judged according to both their words and actions [whether they are righteous or unrighteous] to the fullest degree in this last of the last hour.

+ The "spirit of political correctness" [spirit of antichrist] is one group of "self-exaltive" spirits attempting to "control" another group of "self-exaltive" spirits - and this is Satan’s deception! Truly I say to you, a house divided against itself shall SURELY fall [Matthew 12:25]!

+ Unbelief [mistrust of Me] is a horrible and tragic thing in light of the glorious provision that I have made [and wondrous destiny I have formed (Jeremiah 1:5a)] for each one of My precious children, in Christ.

LFGC : Are We Wholly Given To The Will Of God?

Glenn H. Jackson — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 17:22:33 +0000

THE LIFE OF FAITH AND THE GLORIOUS CHURCH febrUARY 7th

ARE WE WHOLLY GIVEN TO THE WILL OF GOD?

…."I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it, that it may bear more fruit. You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me, and I in him, he bears much fruit; for apart from Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch, and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish; and it shall be done for you. By this is My Father glorified, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples. Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as I have kept My Father’s commandments, and abide in His love. These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full. This is My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends. You are My friends, if you do what I command you. No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you. You did not choose Me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask of the Father in My name, He may give to you. This I command you, that you love one another. If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you. If the world hates you, you know the it has hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you, "A slave is not greater than his master". If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they kept My word, they will keep yours also"…. John 15:1-20 NASB

In past teachings we have mentioned the importance of "abiding" in Christ [the Word], and as we move deeper into the Glorious Church age, we must come to understand clearly that it is only through abiding in the One we serve that will allow us to carry out the portion of "Christ’s" ministry that has been given to us. What folly it is for ANY child of God to remain in a place apart from the Word of God! For in such a place, the love of God cannot be made manifest and, therefore, we must ask ourselves, "are we wholly given to the will [Word] of God?" As we study closely the above portion of Scripture we shall come to see clearly the importance of "abiding". Not one day in the life of a child of God should go by wherein they have not, in some way, sought to draw closer to the Word - for it is only such an attitude that can lead one into the "fullness" of their precious inheritance [salvation] in Christ.

ALL AUTHORITY HAS BEEN GIVEN - IN CHRIST

The church must come to understand that the authority and obedience found in Christ are of such a "perfect nature" that they surpass all other "expressions" of authority and obedience found in the earth. In many cases, man has taken it upon himself to set up "organizations" and "orders", but their deepest motivation has not been to serve God and exalt His Word but, rather, it has been to prove their own "capability" and "intelligence". And, thus, they "fuel" the lie of the Evil One that "man" is an entity unto himself while, in reality he is not! We must learn to look to the Father and His Word in all things and, as we perfectly conform to that Word, we shall surely be found to be pure vessels of true authority and perfect obedience - before the Father and all those who cross our path. We must lift up our "thinking", that we might come to understand that the authority of the Head, which is Christ, is not subject to "error", but is perfect! From this spiritual reality we can see - perhaps for the first time - that as we the Body abide in and, thus, conform perfectly to the Head, THEN "error" [rebellion] in any part of the church shall become a thing of the past!

THE "SPOTLESS AND UNBLEMISHED" CHURCH

It is no wonder that many children of God fail to see or understand how there could ever be a "spotless and unblemished" Church. For in holding onto [and even "maintaining"] - sin and fear in their own lives, their "vision" has been seriously impaired, and the amount of "revelation" that they have received from God is small. This is directly due to the fact that their consecration has been "small"! It is only as the children of God come into that perfect place of abiding that they are even "fit" [able] to receive a clear revelation of God’s end-time plans and purposes. And, so, let all those who are called as delegated authorities devote themselves steadfastly to prayer and the ministry of the "uncompromised" Word in order that the "many" shall come into that holy place of perfect obedience - and, in doing so, remain "above" all the "counterfeit operations" that, up until this time, have passed for "church"! It is the Father’s will for each one of His children to be one with the Head, which is Christ, and, in exactly the same way,that the "physical head" conceives a thought and the fingers and the hands and all the parts of the body move "spontaneously" and "effortlessly" in harmony in order to accomplish what is desired, so too, the Heavenly Father desires the "True Church" of Jesus Christ to move in this manner in the earth! In other words, the Father’s desire is for us to come to the place in Christ where our obedience to His Will is the same as our physical body when it spontaneously obeys [carries out] the impulses that our brain [head] sends forth.

THE "DIVINE REQUIREMENT" - YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL OF YOUR HEART AND…YOU SHALL LOVE ONE ANOTHER!

In John 15:5 the Word states:

…."for apart from Me you can do nothing….I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me, and I in him, he bears much fruit"…..

What a glorious analogy [the Vine] that the Father has provided for His children to understand the "essence" of the Divine Requirement! It is time for EVERY child of God to measure "fully" this word and, thus, come to understand once and for all that if the Word states:

…."apart from Me [Christ] you can do nothing"….

then indeed we must forsake every effort [attempt] to lean upon our own understanding, that we might be found abiding in Christ! It is only as we abide in the Word, and the Word abides in us, that we can bear "much" fruit for the Church and the Kingdom! In this hour, we must forsake ALL that is not "profitable" in our service to God, and we must constantly be found denying the "self-life" in order that we might come to that place of "effortlessness" [rest] - empowered by the Holy Spirit in ALL that we do and say. The Father has chosen this time to reveal Himself and His Word in His "absoluteness" and, thus, we must be EVER ready to cast down any "speculations and thoughts" [lofty imaginations] - speculations and thoughts that only serve to keep us apart from the place of abiding in Christ. For if one does not bring every thought captive to a perfect obedience [a revelation of the Father’s Will], and they are not one being constantly cleansed and watered by the abiding Word, they will "dry up" and be thrown or "blown" away. The Father desires each one of His children to be so close to Him in "living" [active] communion and fellowship that EVERY action they take and EVERY word they speak is in perfect accordance with the deepest thoughts and intentions of His heart. We have all heard the attitudes of "sin-consciousness" [principal ground for the working of "religious spirits"] which decry continually anything that has to do with submission to "true authority", and the "perfect obedience" that each one of us is called to in Christ Jesus. But NOW is the time for "ALL" that is apart from Christ in the midst of God’s people to be "exposed" and consumed by the Holy Fire of God - a judgement that is absolutely necessary for the Church to fulfil the fullness of Her glorious destiny - both individually and corporately!

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father’s Heart]

[february 7th 2008]

+ If just one person’s eternal destiny depended upon you, would you have the assurance in your heart that the "fear of what others think" - that is, the seeking of "any" approval from "flesh and blood" - would not "override" the Spirit of love [obedience] [Galatians 1:10]?

+ The eternal destiny of even one man is a far more important matter than what others may think or say about you.

+ If those whom I have called to be ministered unto by My holy apostles and prophets "refuse", in any way, to put themselves "continually" in the perfect position [through quality time in the "inner chamber"] to gain the "revelation" they need concerning their life and ministry then two things are certain. First - because of a degree of "self-desire" - they are not able to receive the necessary revelation concerning their call to ministry from Me; and, secondly, "their failure" to receive this "revelation" would surely mean that they would not receive "fully" the words [revelation] that I minister through the anointing abiding within [and upon] My holy apostles and prophets. Therefore, I have called My holy apostles and prophets to continue to stand in perfect intercession [perfect love and obedience] in their behalf and, thus, they shall surely be brought by My power to that "position" that will enable [empower] them [those being interceded for] to begin their "final ascent" into the "fullness" of the ministry [destiny] that I have called them to.

+ You do not have to "defend" [justify] the truth [My Will] because the truth will defend [vindicate] itself [Himself] [Isaiah 50:4-8].

JESUS:

The "spirit of political correctness" is not a new thing. For truly I say to you, I faced it in the Pharisees as they "kow-towed" to the spirit of antichrist [anti-Messiah].

"kow-tow" - to behave in an excessively obedient or submissive manner; totally compliant with;

LFGC : The “essence” Of All True Ministry: “absolute Surrender”

Glenn H. Jackson — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 19:22:00 +0000

THE LIFE OF FAITH AND THE GLORIOUS CHURCH febrUARY 6th

THE "ESSENCE" OF ALL TRUE MINISTRY: "ABSOLUTE SURRENDER"

…."You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind"….

Luke 10:27 NASB

The Holy Spirit has brought to my remembrance a word the Father spoke to me some years ago and it was this:

…."I am going to simplify and bring down to its "bare root" in your "experience" [that was the tough part] the essence of all true ministry!"….

In those days, every time I got a word from the Lord I would "naturally" assume that this would take place in oh, say…three weeks. Needless to say this particular word became a "fifteen year project" of the Lord which is still ongoing, and will continue - I believe - until the very moment we are caught up out of here. The essence of what He has shown me, and what is the "key" to the fullness of Kingdom-living and the establishment of the Glorious Church is this:

Love [obey] the Lord your God with all of your heart all of the time.

for it is only from the position of an "abiding" and intimate fellowship with God [and obedience to His Will] that we can continually receive the "necessary" wisdom [revelation] and empowerment to carry out our portion of the Father’s will in the remainder of our time in this dispensation.

THE "KEY" TO "ABIDING" IN THE "FULLNESS" OF "VICTORY"

The Father made it clear to me years ago - as I was calculating the cost of true ministry - that only those whose hearts were "wholly given" would receive what He would give His holy bondservants and handmaidens to say in the last of the last hour. This has come to pass with perfect accuracy over the years, and it shall be shown even more clearly in the days ahead. All those whose hearts are truly seeking the "fullness" of God’s will draw the anointed words from within the bondservants and handmaidens to meet the deepest needs of their heart - which will, in turn, "elevate" them into the fullness of the Father’s plan for them in that time. Let us all set ourselves steadfastly to remain "sensitive" to the still, small, voice of the Holy Spirit in this time, for it is the "key" to our "abiding" in the "fullness" of "victory". Any failure on our part to guard our heart with all diligence shall "surely" allow Satan and his forces an "open door" into our affairs, and this could potentially result in the "shipwreck" of our faith in this most critical hour. Only an absolute dependence upon the "revealed" Word of God will allow one to stand against "every" attack of the Evil One in this time. It is also this exercising of a deep and absolute faith [love] that will continually "devastate" him, and force him to let go of his "captives" wherever we walk in obedience to the still, small voice of the Holy Spirit.

MEDITATE IN THE WORD OF GOD - DAY AND NIGHT

In Joshua 1:5-9 is found one of the most profound and concise descriptions of God’s preparation for the child of God to enter into and abide in the will of the Father and the fullness of destiny. Moses had just died, and now it fell to Joshua to lead a stubborn and rebellious people. As you meditate on this portion of the Scriptures you will see clearly that the key to Joshua’s success would be to meditate in the "law" [Word of God] day and night - and to do all that it said. As we meditate in the Word of God day and night - continually bringing every thought captive to it - our hearts become one with the heart of the Father. God truly is doing a wondrous work in our midst, and He will use those whose hearts are in perfect alignment with Him to accomplish many great things in this final hour. It is the meditating on His Word and the perfect fellowship with Him that He requires of us that will both prepare and sustain us in the carrying out of His most holy purpose. As our hearts are in perfect alignment with the Father and His Word, His "opinions" become our opinions and our opinions become His opinions.

ONE COMMON THREAD

It is truly a precious blessing to see the caliber of saints that the Father is raising up in this hour to help lead His people into the fullness of their inheritance in Christ. There is one "common thread" that runs through the hearts of these handmaidens and bondservants and that is: a purity of love that seeks only for "His best" in ALL things - and for all who cross their path. This is the prerequisite for every servant of God in this last hour. For it is only in the "constant seeking" after the Kingdom of God [and the principles found therein] that one can remain in a position to "elevate" all those God leads them to - as they "abide" in righteousness [obedience].

BE TRANSFORMED BY THE CONTINUAL RENEWING OF YOUR MIND

This is all a part of the continual process of being transformed by the renewing of our minds, and this is extremely important in this hour! As each and every child of God who has determined in their heart to walk in the fullness of the Father’s will for their life and ministry diligently seeks first the Kingdom and strives - in and by the Spirit of love within - to "love" all those who "cross their path", their "thought patterns" shall begin to become the spontaneous by-product of the mind of Christ [the Anointed One and His Anointing] rising up from deep within their spirit. Our part is to "meditate" in the Word of God day and night and, in doing so, bring "every thought" captive to the revealed knowledge of that Word. When one is truly "captivated" by something it consumes them, and they become passionate about the very thing that they are pursuing. This is the way [an ardent and fervent "abiding" in godly desire] that each and every one of us must proceed if we truly desire to walk in the "fullness" of the ministry [destiny] that we are called to in this last of the last hour.

LFGC : We Must Be In A “position” To Hear The Voice Of The Holy Spirit

Glenn H. Jackson — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 05:04:09 +0000

THE LIFE OF FAITH AND THE GLORIOUS CHURCH febrUARY 5th

WE MUST BE IN A "POSITION" TO HEAR THE VOICE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

…."And when I came to you, brethren, I did not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God. For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. And I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling. And my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God"….

1 Corinthians 2:1-5 NASB

We are going to take a look at a very critical point right now in terms of where we are - both in terms of Church history and in our individual walks. As we move on "in time" we see that everything that happens is bringing us one step closer to that glorious time when we shall be reunited with our Lord in the fullness of His Kingdom. As we study the Word of God we begin to see that everything God has said is pointing to this last hour. All of the prophesies, and all of the things Jesus came to show us in His earthly ministry - as well as all of the different aspects of the Father’s will concerning the Glorious Church [spiritual Zion] are pointing to this last hour for their perfect fulfillment. So, as one might expect, we can see in our own individual walks that we are going to find it absolutely necessary to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit [the Spirit of wisdom and revelation], and do ONLY what He would have us do - putting aside ALL of the things [false teaching - false doctrine] that Satan has been allowed to "institute" in the church - UP UNTIL THIS TIME. In the above portion of scripture Paul explains that the Word that he is putting forth is the product of a "revelation" given him by God and he makes it clear that he, himself, [apart from God] did not deliver the message in his "own" strength or wisdom. Every child of God must have a deep revelation of the fact that they must operate in "revealed knowledge" [revelation], alone. We need to operate completely apart from the "flesh", and have "all things" revealed and taught to us by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit was given to the Church at Pentecost and came to live in the hearts of men, yet, over the centuries it has been one of Satan’s key tactics to separate men and women from the Word and, thus, remove them from a personal and living relationship with Jesus Christ [and the Father]. Because of this, the Holy Spirit has been shoved into a corner in many cases, and He has not been "allowed" to manifest Himself to any great degree in the lives of vast multitudes of "believers". If He is not "enabled" - through a continued faithfulness and obedience to the Word on our part - to manifest Himself in our lives THEN the wisdom and love and power of God will not be found working to any great degree in our lives. In this most critical and dangerous [for those walking apart from the fullness of their Covenant to some degree] hour this will surely result in a degree of "tragedy" [situations and circumstances - under the law of sin and death - that should not have happened in light of our Covenant with God - but will through any "sustained" rebellion, fear and unbelief in this hour].

WE MUST BE EMPOWERED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT IN "ALL" THINGS!

Satan’s prime purpose, in his warfare against the children of God is to cause the child of God to deny the ministry of the Holy Spirit and, thus, remain in bondage to their own understanding [darkness, fear and pride]. How important it is for every child of God to realize that they must be empowered by the Holy Spirit in ALL that they do and say, OTHERWISE they shall be found to be walking outside the will of God in this the most glorious hour in Church history. The apostle Paul had received a deep revelation of this fact and had humbled himself before the Lord. Throughout his ministry we see that he maintains the proper heart-attitude of service to God by continually laying his own life down in order that he might be totally dependent upon the Holy Spirit and, thus, become a vessel of God’s life and light to the nations. Anyone who truly loves the Lord, and who truly knows the Lord will be found with this same heart-attitude, and they shall approach "every" situation in the same way - that is, they will refuse to lean upon their own understanding in order to allow God to have HIS way in their lives. If one continues to lean upon their own understanding, to ANY degree, in a "spirit of mental ascension" THEN as they go forth to fulfil the will of God they shall ENTIRELY MISS that which the Father had purposed and, thus, will miss the opportunity to be a blessing to God’s people - and, in reality, they shall become a "stumblingblock" in their midst. Let us be those who can say with Paul, "my message and my preaching [my words] were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power" - for it is then that we will SURELY be found bearing maximum fruit for the Church and the Kingdom.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father’s Heart]

[february 5th 2008]

+ This is the aforementioned time of a "series of final judgements"! A series of final judgements that will expose the "true" condition of one’s heart as I send My "vessels" of My consuming fire throughout the congregations of My people.

+ Whatever happens in the midst of My people [the congregations of the righteous] from here on in shall be for the "greatest eternal benefit" of "all" - both individually and corporately.

+ To all those who "refuse" to hearken to the words that I speak - concerning the "inner chamber" - they shall "invite" immediate trouble, for in their reluctance to measure fully the word that I have spoken, they shall surely open a door to Satan and he shall be "allowed" to "squelch" [suppress] any seed that had been planted as My Word went forth, and thus to whom much has been given much, shall more be given and to those who have received little, because of the hardness of their hearts, even the small amount that they have shall be "stolen" away [Matthew 13:12]!
