FIRE BY NIGHT
By Glenn H. Jackson
"Reflections Upon Reflections" [of The Father's Heart]
...."You, in Your great compassion, did not forsake them in the wilderness; The pillar of cloud did not leave them by day, to guide them on their way, or the pillar of fire by night, to light for them the way in which they were to go".... Nehemiah 9:19 NASB
THE FRUIT OF TIME SPENT IN THE FATHER'S PRESENCE
Words of prophecy:
* My people will experience an ever-increasing "revelation and clarity" in their inner man in this hour - as they keep their eyes "fixed" on the things that are NOT seen.
...."For our light, momentary affliction [this slight distress of the passing hour] is ever more and more abundantly preparing and producing and achieving for us an everlasting weight of glory [beyond all
measure, excessively surpassing all comparisons and all calculations, a vast and transcendent glory and blessedness never to cease!]. Therefore, we consider and look not to the things that are seen [the lower reality - that which is real to the five physical
senses] but to the things that are unseen [through faith in the higher Reality of God's Word]; for the things that are visible are temporal (brief and fleeting) [subject to change], but the things that are invisible are deathless and everlasting [Eternal]"....
2 Corinthians 4:17-18 The Amplified Translation
...."But when He, the Spirit of Truth (the Truth-giving Spirit) comes, He will guide you into all the Truth (the
whole, full Truth). For He will not speak His own message [on His own authority]; but He will tell whatever He hears [from the Father; He will give the message that has been given to Him], and He will announce and declare to you the things that are to come
[that will happen in the future]".... John 16:13 The Amplified Translation
...."For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven
and on earth derives its name, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded
in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God".... Ephesians 3:14-19 NASB
There is no harm in one "looking forward" [with a holy expectation]to the things to come when they are found "abiding" [dwelling]in the place of right relationship [intimate
fellowship] with the Father. For the fruit of their time spent in His Presence will SURELY "strengthen" [and make clear - with great clarity] the "eyes of their faith" to an ever greater degree.
Prayer
of Proclamation:
Father, we thank You and praise You that You have raised us up a people whose eyes are focused on the things that are not seen rather than
the things that are seen [discerned through sense-knowledge]. And we declare it DONE [on an ongoing basis], in the Name of Jesus - to Your greatest Glory. Amen.
...."For we walk by faith [in the reality of who Love {the Word of God} says we are, in Christ], not by sight ["sense knowledge - that which is "perceived" through the five physical senses]".... 2 Corinthians 5:7 NASB
