3/07/26 Never Minimize Others

Do you know that your wife and your children have a right to trust you to keep quiet about their failings? Do you know that no one outside of your marriage or your family has a right to know about the areas the Lord is working on in either one of them? As a spiritual covering, your job is to create an atmosphere of love and trust in your marriage and family, so that everyone can be free to fail and grow without the eyes of others scrutinizing their every move or judging them “in Christian love.”

Often the body of Christ goes around expressing “prayer needs” concerning members of their family, exposing their sins for the whole church to discover. Is it any wonder that the struggling child or the unsaved wife has no desire to enter into that atmosphere? Whether you know it or not, whether you intend to or not, you are minimizing their worth in the eyes of others.

While the Lord is working out the refinements necessary to help all members of your family to become Christ-like, you are called upon to give them love and the freedom to fail within the privacy of your family. You’re to build a safety zone for them. In your conversations with them and with others, you’re to maximize opportunities to affirm their worth, pray for them, and never minimize them - especially to others. Give the Lord the freedom to heal them. Make sure that others understand the qualities they have and the wealth they’ve been given by God, no matter what state of growth they may be in. They are valuable in His eyes; your job is to fully understand that value and express it to others when you refer to them. Will you do that?

3/06/26 Motivated by Love

“Why do you come to Me to be changed? What is your reason for wanting Me to make you like Jesus? Do you know that your heart motive for wanting something, even honorable requests, is very important to Me? In fact, it means everything to Me. Many of My children are doing what appear to be wonderful works, using My Name; and I am nowhere near them because they are nowhere near Me. They may have requested Me to bless what they are doing, and who they are becoming; but their hearts are motivated by the flesh. You need to make sure that everything you do is motivated by love for Me and My purposes. Should you have any other reason, any hidden agenda for your actions, I may use your efforts for My sake and the sake of others, but they will merit you next to nothing. Seek Me with every fiber of your being. Serve Me with an honest heart and live.”

Psalm 51:10 AMP

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right, persevering and steadfast spirit within me.

Matthew 16:22-23 NIV

22) Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. “Never, Lord!” he said. “This shall never happen to you!”

23) Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Out of my sight, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men.”

Hebrews 4:12 NIV

For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

Col. 3:23 NIV

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men.

So many of us do the right things for the wrong reasons. I know people who give money to the work of God out of guilt or obligation. Others visit hospitals, attend church four nights a week, and feed the hungry; but have no real love in doing it.

Some people spend countless hours in prayer, yawning through every minute of the time, raise their hands in praise while looking around at what others are wearing; or receive communion because they are hungry and everyone else is doing it.

All of these foolish people might as well burn their money in the back yard or spend their time at a baseball game. God is not looking for good things being done in His Name from a cold heart. The world can do that. He wants those who are His to move in His Spirit and present His heart of love to a dying world.

Create in me a clean heart, Lord,

3/06/26 Above All Choose Love

This life continually offers us choices. Many of those choices are slam dunks because the options available are simple. Right is always right, and wrong is always wrong. There are many times, however, when choices are not simple. Sometimes weighing all the factors doesn’t lead to making choices clear.

Motivated by love, Jesus made a choice to leave heaven and come to earth. In the garden, He made the choice to do His Father’s will. It was also a choice motivated by love. His whole time on this earth was motivated by the love He had for His Father and for us. We are to walk as He walked if we call ourselves His followers.

As a husband and father, you have been placed in the position of being responsible before God for those you steward. You are presented with many choices that determine the outcome in situations that impact the lives of others. It’s a responsibility of your God-given office and it’s important to Him.

Some choices are easy. When choices that require more than simple decisions are before you, you can never go wrong if you choose love when you make them. You’re to lay down your life as Jesus laid down His life. You’re to live for the best interests of others. If the choice you face is doing something either for your best interest or the best interests of others, follow the life decisions of Jesus. Choose love! Make the choice that is in the best interests of the others involved rather than yours. Jesus did it; so should you at every opportunity. Abba likes that!

3/05/26 A Church Asleep

“Do you see how your world is changing? For many years I have told you of My coming judgment on your nation if you don’t turn from your wicked ways. Soon you will see that I mean what I say. Your nation has laughed at and scorned Me far too long. I brought it into being so that My Word would go forth to all the nations of the world. Now others must be sent to you, so that those who have ears to hear will be able to listen to My call to them. You embrace every other idol and false religion, making a way for it to prosper, while My church falls asleep as if in a drunken stupor.

“For many years, I have called those of you who are Mine to separate yourselves from the world. I have called you to be a holy people. You have become so cold that you feel I will hold off My judgment. How wrong you are. Judgment has already begun. It started in My church a while ago. Some of you have repented and are seeking Me with all of your hearts. You will overcome in the coming horrible times. Some of you are just starting to wake from your slumber. I encourage you to set aside everything of this world with an unparalleled urgency.

“I am about to move fast. Things will all change suddenly and you must be ready. To those of you who do not heed My warnings, I will leave you in your foolish thinking. You will be numb until it is too late, and then you will have no ability to overcome. You will perish with your hardened hearts. Some of you will even curse Me, believing that I have forgotten you. Turn now. Very little time is left.”

Proverbs 19:27 AMP

Cease, my son, to hear instruction only to ignore it and stray from the words of knowledge.

Isaiah 9:1 AMP

But [in the midst of judgment there is the promise and the certainty of the Lord’s deliverance…

Isaiah 48:3 NIV

“I foretold the former things long ago, My mouth announced them and I made them known; then suddenly I acted, and they came to pass.”

Hosea 13:6 NIV

“When I fed them, they were satisfied; when they were satisfied, they became proud; then they forgot me.”

In these Father’s Heart messages, we have seen the many sides of a loving Father calling to those who desire more of Him. Over the years, there have been two reoccurring messages. The Lord has been calling His church to a walk of holiness, and He has been telling of impending judgment on this nation if it doesn’t repent.

What has become very obvious is that our nation has not turned from its wicked ways, even with the many warnings and opportunities to do so. As soon as disaster of any kind strikes, the people cry out to the Lord for a short period of time. Once the peril has subsided, we forget our God and go on with the wickedness. It almost seems to increase.

Look how we are embracing the occult, rampant sex, and open, horrific murders. Even young children are killing each other, sometimes just to see what it feels like.

I am convinced that we are in the times predicted years ago. We are under judgment for our sin as a nation and will never be the same again. Instead of turning to God, we are gladly giving our freedoms away because it will supposedly be safer for us.

We, as the church of Jesus Christ, must see and hear what the Lord is saying in this time. We will be needed to lead others to Christ when they come to the end of themselves.

Are you ready to be a willing vessel in the hands of the Lord, fit for His use, loving deeper and caring more? You and I are needed. Now is the time to decide to surrender fully.

Yes, Lord,

Jim Corbett

3/05/26 Affirming Your Children

Do your children know of their intrinsic value? I’m not talking about telling them how well they’re performing. I’m talking about how valuable they are to God and to you. If you are a father who is performance-oriented and you place your expectations on your children, they may grow up to be successful because of the striving attitude you’ve taught them; but they’ll never be able to rest in the worth they have simply because they’re breathing.

God has called everyone into being. His desire was for all of your children to be born, and He calls them good. As a father, you are to carry on His attitude toward them. You’re commanded to build in them, by the power of the Holy Spirit, a knowledge of His love and acceptance of them. You’re to show them they are accepted just as they are and not for what they do. It begins with teaching them how much you appreciate them as His representatives.

If you are not in the habit of affirming your children and have set a course where they need your approval to maintain their worth, they’re on the road to a life of needing that approval even after you’re gone. If they don’t have it, they will need to find it from some other source. Many lives are spent seeking approval of some kind because you, as a father, haven’t established God’s kind of approval in them through your words and actions toward them.

Begin now! Seek the Lord as to how you can be used to change the course of the direction of the lives of your children. Ask Him to show you the wounds you may have already caused and how He wants to use you to heal them. Commit to creating an atmosphere of affirming their worth with your words and actions, so they are free to be who they are. Give them the freedom to fail without your disapproval. Give them the freedom to live their lives, not yours. Show them Jesus through your attitude toward them. You will be amazed at how beautiful they really are.
