From the Desk of Doctor Paul ...



Heaven's Silence!


"When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour." Revelation 8:1

"He who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil's work." 1 John 3:8

"I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit...fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name." John 15:15-16

"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart." Hebrews 12:1-2

His baton is raised. Heaven's Maestro remains poised for the greatest manifestation of unity and Holy Spirit outpouring ever witnessed. Nothing can hold Him back now. Jesus' marvelous prayer of oneness is coming to pass. The subsequent display of Glory will be beyond description!

While on a walk last evening, He spoke so clearly to me about times, seasons and the readiness of Believers. Life abides in every seed, from revelations (dreams, visions, Throne Room impartations) to apple tress. However, just as no good wine is served before its time, neither will God prematurely move, until all has been prepared.

Ishmaels are a dime a dozen, the way of the flesh vs. the way of the Spirit. They provide temporary satisfaction. But ultimately, one recognizes that the "real thing" hasn't been embraced. There's an old saying..."Take the best, or settle for the rest." Too often, influenced by Satan's lies, designed to promote discouragement, fainting and giving up, we attempt to rush His will. God is not slack, concerning those promises. Having done all to stand, stand! You will reap in due season. Remember, no word from Him is void of the Power necessary to bring itself to pass.

Jesus, Who has promised to venture before us and prepare the way, with the assistance of angels, is doing that this very moment. Any decent stage play, just prior to production, requires lots of work that remains unseen, if quality is to be enjoyed. Much of God's preparation focuses on the hearts of people, softening them, infusing truth, while extracting painful lies and distortions that have distorted identity and hindered destiny. Some must become sick and tired of being that way, coming to grips with the fact that this earth doesn't offer much in itself, except a place to fulfill Heaven's plan and an opportunity to delight the Father's heart by restoring, reconciling and setting at liberty those who have been bruised of the enemy, thus plundering hell and populating Heaven.

Picture a symphony, if you will. Prior to performance, the conductor tolerates the meaningless noise associated with the tuning of various instruments. Chit chat, a shuffling of sheet music and adjusting of chairs are a part of all that. Nevertheless, once the stick is raised, all eyes are upon the director, as quietness prevails. When the conductor's hand moves, there's an ear-pleasing sound, a peaceful blending of beauty.

The pending Heavenly silence will be just that, an ordained moment in history when the Church maintains a vertical orientation and marches forward in unity as a single Body, no longer attacking Herself, but making whole, preferring others, and moving with bowels of compassion. No task will be too big or small. Where sin vitally abounds, grace will become more than sufficient to reverse Satan's associated process...from sickness, poverty and compulsive behaviors, to literally raising the dead. A yieldedness to the Holy Spirit will be automatic. Manually shifting through the gears won't be necessary, as our eyes maintain attention on the One in charge of the grandest symphony ever attended. Dad's very thought will be His Child's next act!

Contemplate the intimacy incorporated into this Glory to Glory progression. Satan's priority has been to fragment the Bride. Now comes a unity that translates into an awesome display of the miraculous. We're talking about so much Word inundating this planet...the Creator's signs and wonders, His Glory Cloud will fill the place with a proliferation of Life. Even the atmosphere is programmed to change. In fact, it already has, to a great extent. Most can discern an anticipation and expectancy in the air.

Hearing and obeying God's voice are imperative. A number of people once applied for a position at Western Union. Whoever was hired would be responsible for keying out telegrams to recipients. The first candidate all of a sudden stood up, entered a small office and remained with the interviewer for a considerable period. Finally, a door opened, and he proudly declared to the others..."The job is mine!" They couldn't understand how a decision could be reached so quickly, and seemingly unfairly, without calling them for their turns. The personnel representative was asked about the matter. His response went something like this. "An hour ago, I sent a message over the intercom in Morse Code, announcing that the first person responding to its content would be hired. This gentleman did." Obviously, the others had not been listening.

For some reason, we look for burning bushes. Yet, God, more often than not, uses inner nudgings and promptings in leading His Children. Why shouldn't He? The Revelator lives within, neither slumbers nor sleeps, but is present to unveil truth and show us things to come. Desensitization, through traditions and the cares of this world, has numbed many to what the Maestro has to say. In spite of that, an urgency of call is being instilled, out of which will emanate a symphonic sound of beauty, the unprecedented, unpredictable and unparalleled.

A Hearing Ear!

"Beloved, Heaven and earth have never been closer than they are today. Attend to My Word. Have you not sensed an increase in those nudgings and promptings, that hearing is much easier? Also, your Peace Meter has been working quite well in these days of the Spirit. Turn not away from its influence, as peace and destiny go hand in hand. Trust not in oppression, which is doing everything possible to gain attention and derail faith's train. Its sole intent is to suck the believer into a false sense of identity and a lying cloud of oppression. I am fully aware of those struggles, that perception of emptiness and hopelessness, particularly over the past months. Remember, I am the Author and Finisher of faith, and adamantly refuse to let you fail! In fact, angelic forces have been sent as ministering spirits. Such was the case during Elijah's dark days. Did he fail? Be still, and know that I am God. In quietness and confidence, regarding Covenant and relationship, the Children will discover strength. Haven't you noticed that feelings, the sense realm, could rarely be trusted, even among the so-called giants of faith? Great exploits in the Kingdom always begin with a hearing ear, one constantly listening for what the Most High has to say. Enoch walked with Me and discovered himself on the Other Side. There is a Secret Place for Us, Precious Seeker, a location where all the stops are pulled and conservation in unlimited. Oh, how I yearn for the Little Ones to know My heart! As you discover Who I am, your walk and identity will enter a new dimension of thinking, believing, talking, acting and receiving. All that stands between the Church and Glory's miraculous is a revelation. Obey the ridiculous, and watch Me pull off the impossible! Factor in the seasons! Dad can handle doubts and questions. That natural mind will invariably challenge whatever is of the Spirit. In addition, you have become the Righteousness of God in Christ. Don't forget your armor! Abandonment, rejection, guilt and shame do not exist under Our Covenant. So, reject and resist them as the trespassers they truly are. This is the Heaven's season of hearing and acting. Faith works that way, you know!"
