Transcript: God's Heart as a Loving Father: Christian Teachings and Bible Studies

Hello, my name is Patricia Evans with Shining Light 7 Ministries. Before we introduce the prophetic word to you entitled, Revealing the Heart of the Father to His Children, I would like to briefly say to those of you who might find this foreign in ways that God may speak to His people, conveying His heart, His mind, and His purposes to His body is biblically based and found in Apostle Paul's epistle in 1 Corinthians 14.1, where Apostle Paul speaks about the gift. He says, Pursue love, yet desire earnestly spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy. Verse 3, But one who prophesies speaks to men for edification and exhortation and consolation. One who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but one who prophesies edifies the church. Now, I wish that you all spoke in tongues, but even more so that you would prophesy. And greater is the one who prophesies than he who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets so that the church may receive edifying. Well, the gift of prophecy or prophesying then is for the purpose of edifying, exhorting and comforting the church. And of course, as with any gift, it ought to convey the love of God in its manifestation. If it does not, Paul declares in 1 Corinthians 13 too, If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have faith that can move mountains, but I have not love, I am nothing. Dear one, Jesus is inviting you and me to come into the secret of his presence and enjoy the revelation of knowing that he is real and ever-present in a very tangible way. and there is substance to the presence of God and he wants you to enjoy his company and learn to hear and get to know his voice in this place. And the Holy Spirit is hovering over the body of Christ in this day and hour because he is specifically desiring your fellowship. The Holy Spirit is speaking to the church regardless of denomination or non-denomination and he is saying to her, Wake up! Wake up, you sleeping giant and prepare for the bridegroom who is soon to come. His name is Jesus. Prepare yourself for His coming. God the Father is asking you to sacrifice your life in order to carry the flame you'd received when you'd accepted His dear Son, Jesus Christ, and ask Him to be your Lord and Savior. The light you received was a seed, and that was planted in your heart, and as you grow in fellowship with the Holy Spirit, the light the glory of God increases within you Paul says in Romans 12 Therefore I urge you brothers in view of God mercy to offer your bodies as living sacrifices holy and pleasing to God. This is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, and then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is, His good, pleasing and perfect will. Well, this scripture is saying that as you spend time, intimate time with the Holy Spirit in this place of abandonment, you learn the things that you used to do are not acceptable or pleasing to Him anymore. And you willingly throw off the old way, the old man, the sinful ways and conform to your master's pattern because it becomes your desire to please Him and see His plan, His perfect will for your life unfold. And you become less and less impressed with yourself. And you become more impressed with the Creator of the universe, the very One who made you, the very One who says, Your timing and purpose is in My hand. And who knows, but that you were not created for such a time as this. the Lord has a plan for you will you catch it the precious light of Jesus Christ within you dear ones reveal your spiritual nature and will bring the necessary change by the Holy Spirit in your life as you cooperate with him and you begin to take on his nature and his character and you must know oh you must know this is very pleasing to him Remember, He is a holy God, and He demands to have a holy people in order for His glory to shine forth into all the earth and touch others. You see, change in your life is so needed that the light may increase within you in order that you may be effective for Him in sharing the good news, the glad tidings of our King. And if I may exhort you today, do not be satisfied where you are right now presently in the Lord but be willing for the Holy Spirit to work change in your life to make you transparent before God and man so that his true light, his glory will shine out of you into the darkness into a sick and dying world on its way to hell allow the Spirit of the Lord to do his work in you first so he can then work through you to accomplish his purpose for your life. Whether it's teaching, preaching, evangelizing, sharing the good news with a neighbor or a stranger, or prophesying the heart of the Father to his children. Allow the Holy Spirit of grace to do his good and perfect will in your life and watch with joy as he brings the pieces of the puzzle together and you see the plans for your life unfold and the love you have for him increase. You have a purpose in the body of Christ and that purpose is the light that flame of fire the love for the Lord that burns within you to grow in such magnitude that you become a minister of the Lord one whom the Lord will work through in order to prosper his kingdom Lee and I speak the blessings of the Lord over your life, and we pray that you may increase in your personal desire to know the Lord, and that he will visit you in his wonderful, real, and manifested presence as you invite him in. He will not fail you. He is just waiting for you to ask. And then, dear one, be faithful to cultivate this beautiful and eternal love relationship with your beloved bridegroom, Jesus the Christ. And now, hear the word of the Lord, entitled, Revealing the Heart of the Father to His Children. There is a new move of my spirit that will move in my body and upon my body, the church, with wave after wave in these next months and years, says the Spirit of the Lord. I am now, even now, sweeping through your hearts with a powerful move of conviction that will cause many of you to wash your garments and allow me to prepare you for the service I have created you for, says the Lord. This change in your hearts, the very temple in which I abide, will be a greater level of sanctification which I require for my priests. This is a place of union and oneness with me. And I will give as much of myself to you as you open your hearts to me. It is in this place, my dear children, that you are hidden in the secret of my presence. It is here, my precious ones, that the mysteries are revealed and a deep love relationship is formed for eternity with me, says the Lord. It is here that I mold you and I shape you into my image, and that is having a pure and undivided heart that will minister back to me the desires of my heart, which is holiness. I am calling my people back to and into holiness. I am a holy God. And my word declares, Blessed are those who are pure in heart, for they shall see God. And this is my promise to you, says the Lord. You cannot attain this place, this union on your own power. And I tell you as well to be still and know that I am God. Set aside the cares of the world. Come unto me. Set aside time for me, says the Lord. I so long for fellowship with you in this place, says the Lord. I so long for you to desire me as my servant David longed for me and I will pour myself into you in this place I weep and long for oneness with you in this place a higher place and level in me says the Spirit of God and you will be a crown of beauty in my hand you are my bride my chosen one you are my beloved and I am pouring out on those who are my remnant a reverential fear and awe of who I am. And these will be those who will bow their hearts to me. These will be those who will declare my praises and wonders to the nations says the Spirit of the Lord My son was broken and spilled out so that he could be poured into the depths the very marrow and bone of man And these will be those who have allowed me to transform them into the image and likeness of my son, being perfected for the purpose in which I created them. Open your hearts to me. Open your hearts to me, my beloved. Stand in awe of me, my children. This is the beginning of wisdom. and this is the beginning of true worship of the Lord your God. Draw near to me and I will draw near to you, says the Spirit of the Lord. Allow me to wash your garments, to come into the secret of my presence, a place where you and I will have great delight, a beginning for all eternity. Hear my heart this day. I will pour out my heart to you, those of you who hear this word and embrace it. The greatest desire of my heart is that you who I fashioned in my likeness for one purpose, and that is for complete union and oneness with me, come in. Come unto me. Join willingly together with me in love. Stand before me with clean hands and a pure heart Being a holy people, says the Lord I am inviting you this day To come and taste for yourself And see that I am good, says the Spirit of the Lord And then you will understand the force And the uprightness of my love for you Open your hearts this day, my children And step into my sanctuary And see my radiant beauty My splendor and majesty It is real Come. I bid you to come. I invite you for this appointed time, says the Spirit of the Lord. This is a day and hour for what was spoken of in the book of Joel. Shall surely come to pass, says the Spirit of the Lord. I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and daughters shall prophesy. Your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions. even upon the men servants and upon the maid servants in those days I will pour out my spirit. I will show signs and wonders in the heavens and on the earth blood and fire and columns of smoke. The sun shall turn to darkness and the moon to blood before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes. And whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be delivered and saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be those who escape as the Lord has said and among the remnant of survivors shall be those whom the Lord calls. Come my children I bid you come I invite you for this appointed time to know my love my holiness and the reverential and obedient fear of the Lord says your God. This is not a time to sit back but this is certainly a time to take serious my word and my offer. Draw near to me my precious child and I will draw near to you, says the Spirit of the Lord.
