From the Desk of Doctor Paul ..."I looked for a man among them who would build up the way and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found none." Ezekiel 22:30
"For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him." 2 Chronicles 16:9
"Let us then approach the Throne of Grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need." Hebrews 4:16
"You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everybody. You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts." 2 Corinthians 3:2
I often ponder that great exchange, as lopsided as it was two-thousand years ago, when Jesus emptied Himself in the Presence of His Father, left the pristine environment of Heaven, and entered the womb of a chosen, yet yielded and obedient lady...Mary. His purpose for coming was clear, to actually take what didn't belong to Him...our crime and penalty.
The sin, sickness, poverty and death issue had to be settled, once and for all. Sacrifices of animals and failed efforts to obey the law were not enough. Perfect Blood was required. In Dad's love for this world, a quality decision was made to send (conduit) the Best He had, the most perfect Gift imaginable...Jesus!
Conduiting is our mandate, as well. God isn't looking for golden or silver vessels, but available ones, Living Epistles who operate from bowels of compassion in response to every nudging and prompting of the Holy Spirit. Gapstanders, people that simply understand Dad's heart, the Almighty's ways, are in urgent demand. Through these special Soldiers will flow an unprecedented abundance of the miraculous, the Lord's express intent for humanity.
Life is about choices. The Creator made one that ultimately sealed our redemption and salvation to the uttermost, forever. Mary did, also,..."Be it unto me, according to your word." Later Jesus would say, "If possible, let this cup pass. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours (the Father's) must be done."
All of this had a single common denominator...yieldedness and a willingness to conduit! He knew no sin. We weren't acquainted with righteousness. Yet, the Master took on our iniquities in direct exchange for His right-standing with God. As He is, you and I have become in this world. Consequently, there's no room for us to accept hell's accusations...blame-shifting, shame-basing, physical symptoms, poverty, or anything contrary to Covenant. The Mercy Seat, on which Christ's Blood rests, resoundingly exclaims..."As He is, you have become in this world!" If what you have isn't His, or could not survive the atmosphere of Heaven, it is intruding and trespassing in your life.
Not many years ago, a crowd anxiously gathered around the still body of a young man who had been pulled to shore after a tragic incident that resulted in his obvious demise. An emergency crew's efforts to revive the drowned bather were unsuccessful. In fact, they unofficially pronounced him dead. As bystanders helplessly gazed at the motionless form, a teenage girl could be seen approaching from a nearby hotel. She urgently sought permission to pray for the victim. Laying hands on his chest, Heaven's Conduit compassionately uttered one word...Jesus! The rest is history. A resurrection swiftly followed. Reporters later interviewed the teen. Responding to their quest for an explanation, the youth said, "I've been on call for the Lord, was reading the Word, heard His Voice and followed instructions." Isn't that what we're all about...being instant in and out of season, on call, if you will, in the Church's Emergency Room?
The Vision
Kansas City, Missouri
While in Missouri, the Revelator provided a clear vision of what is foremost in the Father's Mind. I found myself sitting on Dad's lap, as He gently embraced me. A strong, yet comforting, heartbeat was discernible. Transference was about to occur...big time! Suddenly, sin-consciousness, symptoms and all worldly negatives were extracted, actually sucked out of every atom of my being, only to be replaced with the Glory, which originated from His very core. Then the Almighty said, "Paul, you have a Friend Who sticks closer than a natural brother." To our right was Jesus, seated next to the Grand Lover. Further Scriptures clarified that unveiling. Of particular significance was this portion..."But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ, even when we were dead in transgressions...it's by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show (conduit) the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 2:4-7)."
The way He so beautifully pulls everything together in expressing His deepest desires is thrilling. Well, additional insight was provided. "Paul, there's no reason why Christians cannot abide in that Secret Place, a location where they are far from all oppression. It's glorious walls won't permit the slightest whisper from hell. They cannot be penetrated by any form of negativity."
Filled with passion, promise and Presence, I left the physical warmth of that marvelous hug and discovered myself on planet earth, before hurting humanity, well equipped to do business for the Kingdom and freely give, exactly as that goodness and mercy had been liberally received. With no shortage of Love, Light and Life, the previously impossible translated into tangible evidence of a fulfilled Great Commission.
"Oh, how I long to visibly touch My Children with the miraculous! No tear is
left unnoticed. Each is stored in Heaven, not unlike a loving earthly parent
carefully affixes a toddler's lock of hair in that special place of memory
and honor. However, this Daddy wants to go way beyond merely viewing all that
impacts your personal world. So many are weary of strictly reading and
hearing about the Parent of parents. They sincerely yearn for intimacy with
Me...being touched, held, saved, healed, prospered, adorned with the Glory.
Do you really believe that the God Who has just begun pouring out Heaven's
contents, from Gold Dust, to Oil and other manifestations, would limit His
activity to the flashy, without dealing with those regions that matter most
in your walk? As stated previously, I seek a Bride, not a casual girlfriend.
There is a vast difference between the two. The Church and Christ have become
one. No double standard can survive before Me. Think about this! Would I ask
you to fully sell out without doing the same on your behalf? Oneness is the
Almighty's dream of dreams. Legally, the Believer possesses everything
belonging to the Source. Vitally, that has to be individually experienced, if
you are to really and truly know that I am a good God, not an embracer of
indifference and negligence. We are bone of each other's bone. After all, who
could possibly separate us from the love that is conduited from that Secret
Place? My very Throne is suspended on praises of the Children. As you
transfer what is assimilated during our precious moments together, all your
needs will be met in that identical flow of Glory. A fireman's hose is always
clean, since the water flowing through the channel cools and cares for the
instrument of delivery. In the days ahead, fully anticipate more revelation
of intent and destiny. Dreams and visions are becoming increasingly prolific,
since a pronouncement of what the Spirit is saying to the Church is necessary
before manifestation can be attained. Far too many are walking around in
prisons without walls, with scars that are hidden from the human eye.
Regardless, those prisons are about to fall open. Such was the case with
Jericho. If I can't be contained in a box, neither should you. All stops have
been pulled! Yield, Irreplaceable Soldier, as your deliverance to the
uttermost transpires and we turn this globe upside down together with joy
unspeakable and full of Glory!"
