Pouring forth
by Steven Bliss
I am about to pour forth. My ways are being released.
They flow down, drenching those who will embrace me.
They burst the bonds of those oppressed.
I will rush upon those who invite me into their inner rooms.
I will bring cleansing and a new refreshing.
My ways thunder from the highest heaven; the enemy can not withstand my
surge. I am the creator-God. Those who have will be given more. Those who
know me will express my creative nature in new and unexpected ways.
They will learn to see with the new spiritual eyes.
I am the God who knows his children. Each one is blessed and uniquely
embedded with my attributes. They are like their father. You are mine. The
enemy holds no power over you.
Rest in me. Cease striving for my approval. You can not achieve what is
already yours. Walk with me and I will guide you. My ways are being poured
forth. Do not hesitate to step into my rain.

The Rock and the Sand
Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. Matt 5:7 NKJV
It seems that the more I learn, the less I know. But what I learn draws me to fall back on the basic principles of the walk in Christ: to trust God, to be loving and kind and forgiving, to be merciful, knowing that I position myself to receive mercy, to treat others as I would want to be treated, to love God and my neighbor as myself.
The more I learn, I become so thankful that God has reserved all judgment to Himself, because to understand all the variables involved in even the simplest human act, is beyond any ones ability to comprehend, let alone render judgment upon. The Word of God instructs me to avoid evil, to refuse to walk down its sinister path. Yet, I am to love the evildoer, and to seek mercy upon his life, for I am to love my enemies.
The Holy Spirit comes to glorify Jesus. In glorifying Him, the Spirit seeks to make each of His members like Himself. The Spirit seeks to make us Jesus people, ones who so reflect His image that we bring glory to His name. He who is both the Lion and the Lamb works through His Spirit to bring us to that place of both boldness and purity. Indeed, the purpose of the Spirit is to make us like and with the Master, His perfect representatives to a fallen and dying world.
No work of God in the world can be accomplished without first the working of God within the heart and soul of a man. That is the Rock upon which ministries are built. To try to do the work of God in the world, without having first that working within, is to build your house upon the sand. It will not stand.
Dear one, the Master Architect is at work in your life, building something in you that will bring glory to His name forever. Submit to Him! Cooperate with Him. Don’t let the knowledge in your head overrule the working of God in your heart. Blessed are the merciful, for they will obtain mercy…
Remember, dear ones, we must be about our Father’s business…

"You feel sorrowful now, but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice. And no one
will take your joy from you." – John 16:22
Fr. Nil Guillamete tells this wonderful story about this beautiful branch that enjoyed life on
the tree.
One day a man passed by and admired its beauty. The next day, he cut it down and
began its horrific transformation. First, the man stripped the leaves attached to the
branch. This caused slight pains to the branch. Then, he gutted out the core, which really
hurt. And while the branch was quivering in pain, the man placed it in a dark dry place.
It stayed there for days, getting more and more despondent. Finally, the man released
it from the dark place and the branch rejoiced. Only to be wounded once more, holes were
made which once again caused pain. And then the man took a special cloth and rubbed
the branch all over. He rubbed on and on, harder and harder, it felt like its skin was
peeling off.
Then he stopped, looked the branch over. The man beamed with pride and brought
the branch to his lips. The branch thought he would kiss it but the man did more than
that. He blew on the branch and the branch trembled and music flowed forth from its core.
The man had transformed the branch into a beautiful flute, capable of so much more
than it could, hanging on the tree. Tisha L.
Do we allow the Lord to fashion us to be capable of so much more?
Lord, fashion me in a way that you will be glorified.

Spirit walk
by Ivonne Maldonado
There is a quietness in the atmosphere, nothing to do with what is transpiring
in the second and third heavens..there is a lot going on in the heavens, the
battle has intensified, those of us that walk by the spirit sense a
quickening...there is a faster pace happening, a fast forward has become faster
than the speed of light in the spirit. The Lord Sabaoth, the Lion of the tribe
of Judah is getting ready for battle and his warring messengers are preparing
the way...Can you hear the shuffling of their wings, can you hear the sharpening
of their swords-a fierce battle is happening even now. Put on your amour, get
your battle shoes on, sharpen your swords, for the King is coming and we have to
be ready for the battle is the Lord's and his coming is at the door. Do not be
caught unaware, or off-guard, or sleeping, do not be caught distracted, for the
battle has intensified, apathy has set in, lethargy is part of the enemy's
strategy...be vigilant, be ready, pray in the spirit
without ceasing, edify yourself in your most holy thing, regroup,recharge and
charge in offensively against the enemy, the Lord of Hosts is your rear guard
and He is going before you to give you the victory. Those that overcome till
the end will receive the reward. Arise and fight the good fight of faith for
the King is at the door in all his glory!! This is a year of victory 2007- seven
is a number of perfection with Him- He will perfect that with concerns
us-spiritually, emotionally,physicially,financially. 20 is 10 twice and 10 is a
number of completion with God- that is double for us, so arise, this is our year
to See everything restore, this is our year to shine and be victorious for his
glory! April 10 2007 6:15 p.m.
In His love,Ivonne

"I am poured out like
water, and all my bones are out of
joint >> Psalms 22:14
Did earth or heaven ever behold a sadder spectacle of woe! In soul and
body, our Lord felt himself to be weak as water poured upon the ground.
The placing of the cross in its socket had shaken him with great
violence, had strained all the ligaments, pained every nerve, and more
or less dislocated all his bones. Burdened with his own weight, the
august sufferer felt the strain increasing every moment of those six
long hours. His sense of faintness and general weakness were
overpowering; while to his own consciousness he became nothing but a
mass of misery and swooning sickness. When Daniel saw the great vision,
he thus describes his sensations, "There remained no strength in me,
for my vigour was turned into corruption, and I retained no strength:"
how much more faint must have been our greater Prophet when he saw the
dread vision of the wrath of God, and felt it in his own soul! To us,
sensations such as our Lord endured would have been insupportable, and
kind unconsciousness would have come to our rescue; but in his case, he
was wounded, and felt the sword; he drained the cup and tasted every
drop.
"O King of Grief! (a title strange, yet true
To thee of all kings only due)
O King of Wounds! how shall I grieve for thee,
Who in all grief preventest me!"
As we kneel before our now ascended Saviour's throne, let us remember
well the way by which he prepared it as a throne of grace for us; let
us in spirit drink of his cup, that we may be strengthened for our hour
of heaviness whenever it may come. In his natural body every member
suffered, and so must it be in the spiritual; but as out of all his
griefs and woes his body came forth uninjured to glory and power, even
so shall his mystical body come through the furnace with not so much as
the smell of fire upon it.
EVENING:
"Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my
sins."
-- Psalms 25:18
It is well for us when prayers about our sorrows are linked with pleas
concerning our sins-when, being under God's hand, we are not wholly
taken up with our pain, but remember our offences against God. It is
well, also, to take both sorrow and sin to the same place. It was to
God that David carried his sorrow: it was to God that David confessed
his sin. Observe, then, we must take our sorrows to God. Even your
little sorrows you may roll upon God, for he counteth the hairs of your
head; and your great sorrows you may commit to him, for he holdeth the
ocean in the hollow of his hand. Go to him, whatever your present
trouble may be, and you shall find him able and willing to relieve you.
But we must take our sins to God too. We must carry them to the cross,
that the blood may fall upon them, to purge away their guilt, and to
destroy their defiling power.
The special lesson of the text is this:-that we are to go to the Lord
with sorrows and with sins in the right spirit. Note that all David
asks concerning his sorrow is, "Look upon mine affliction and my pain;"
but the next petition is vastly more express, definite, decided,
plain-"Forgive all my sins." Many sufferers would have put it, "Remove
my affliction and my pain, and look at my sins." But David does not say
so; he cries, "Lord, as for my affliction and my pain, I will not
dictate to thy wisdom. Lord, look at them, I will leave them to thee, I
should be glad to have my pain removed, but do as thou wilt; but as for
my sins, Lord, I know what I want with them; I must have them forgiven;
I cannot endure to lie under their curse for a moment." A Christian
counts sorrow lighter in the scale than sin; he can bear that his
troubles should continue, but he cannot support the burden of his
transgressions.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER
"Exhortations From The Father" is a daily word from the heart of the Father exhorting and encouraging those who are seeking first the Kingdom - those who desire to be righteously motivated in all things pertaining to true Christian service. It is my earnest and fervent prayer that through these words you will daily receive direction, confirmation and revelation which will help you to enter into the fullness of your destiny and Kingdom-position.
May the Father continually bless you with deep insight into the fullness of His plan for the Glorious Church - and your perfect part in it - in this most critical and glorious hour!
Glenn H. Jackson
April 11th 2007:
+ The heart-attitude of every one of My children should say constantly [as they diligently seek My Word], "I want to hear it only from the Holy Spirit". For until that attitude is found in their heart, and until they have revelation of My desire for their "perfect" obedience, they will easily be led into an area of presumptuous sin. For it is only a deep abiding in My Word that can separate continually, the soul and the spirit of a man, revealing to them at all times those things that proceed forth from the "flesh" and those that are of My Spirit.
+ Arrogance and selfishness in parents evokes a spirit of rebellion and independence within their children. Love and unselfishness in parents ultimately evokes a spirit of consecration and obedience [trust] within their children.
To the degree that My children set their "own" joy before them - in other words, those things that would satisfy their own desires apart from Me - it is to that degree that they shall continue to strive in their own power to attain their own goals [self-agenda]. It is only as My children lay down their lives entirely and, thus, "allow" Me to do "all things", that I am enabled to "flood" their hearts with the revelation and the vision and the joy that will allow them to endure the "cross" [continually live the life of self-denial], and fulfill every facet of My will for their lives.
+ An "unrighteous act" is an act that one commits apart from My righteousness. If one "allows" compromise in their walks to any degree - that is, do those things that are apart from the Head, who is Jesus - then they commit an unrighteous act. Every person who crosses the path of one of My children has the "right" to hear My uncompromised Word, and see the "living" Christ within them. Therefore, if My children make the choice to compromise My Word in some way, then they have committed an unrighteous act against those who hear the words they speak.
+ "All" disappointment stems from a "misplaced" faith [trust]. Every one of My children must take as their only standard, the revealed knowledge of My Word - for it is then and only then, that they will be able to walk above the "certain disappointment " that comes from a continued reliance upon the things which are "seen" [perceived through the five physical senses]. Therefore, if one of My children are found to be suffering disappointment and defeat in an area of their walk, they need only seek My will and wisdom in that area, and as they "fix" their eyes solely on the revealed knowledge of My Word, they will no longer suffer any disappointment and frustration, for their faith shall no longer be misplaced and they shall surely gain the victory [Romans 9:33].
