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
April 16th
ACTIONS AND WORDS DEFINE ONE'S REALITY
Words of Prophecy:
*____Actions and words [of love and obedience] define one's reality - not "good intentions".
"intention" - an act or instance of determining mentally [soulishly] upon some action or result;
____...."but whoever keeps His word, in him the love of God has truly been perfected. By this we know that we are in Him: the one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked"....
1 John 2:5-6 NASB
...."faith, if it does not have works (deeds and actions of obedience to back it up), by itself is destitute of power
(inoperative, dead)".... James 2:17 The Amplified Translation
____ "Good intentions" are rooted in self-righteousness and one's own strength
and understanding - and are of NO value whatsoever in the work of the Church and the Kingdom. "God-intentions" are rooted and grounded in righteousness and a "revelation" of the Father's Heart and Will - and have dwelling within themselves the Power and Grace [anointing] to bring what is required to pass.
____...."For I know that NOTHING good dwells within
me, that is, in my flesh. I can will what is right, but I cannot perform it. [I have the intention and urge to do what is right, but no power to carry it out]".... Romans 7:18 The Amplified Translation
...."It is the [Holy] Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing".... John 6:63a NASB
...."I can do all things through Him [Christ - the Anointed One and His Anointing] Who [which] strengthens me".... Philippians 4:13 NASB
Prayer of Proclamation:
____Father, we thank You and praise You that You have delivered us, through the ongoing work of the Cross, from both formulating and pursuing "good intentions". We proclaim that we are a people
who are continually pursuing a revelation of Your Will - with a view to be found accomplishing Your highest Purpose [both individually and corporately] in any given moment. And
we declare these things DONE [on an ongoing basis] to Your greatest Glory, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
