Keep Your Fork!

"Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life." Proverbs 13:12

"I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living." Psalm 27:13

"Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope (expectation) comes from him." Psalm 62:5

"And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit." 2 Corinthians 3:18

Not along ago, a young lady, who had been terminally diagnosed, requested a special visit from a local pastor to discuss final wishes and details of what appeared to most as her imminent passing and subsequent funeral. Realizing the graveness of that condition, serious consideration was given to what would best portray this Christian's belief system, personal conviction and love for others. As one of God's Kids, she wanted to visually present and express what Heaven deems a Glory to Glory promotional process, the epitome of which is to look upon the marvelous faces of an unconditionally loving Father and His precious, redeeming Son.

As the minister took reference notes by the woman's bedside, listing pertinent Scriptures, hymns and choruses, she made an unusual request. "Pastor, I'd like you to do something special and perhaps a bit unusual for me. After being laid to rest in my casket, please place a fork in my right hand and remain available to those who visit me at the funeral home. They'll be a certain curiosity and many quires about that fork."

The clergyman appeared somewhat puzzled. Nevertheless, he agreed to the request. Of course, there still were many unasked and unanswered questions, relative to what could be deemed a last wish. But he, nevertheless, was patient and compliant.

With a smile of her face, this beautiful saint teased him a bit. "You look puzzled, Pastor. Let me say more about the plan. You see, as a little girl, Mom would serve us her best meals, particularly at dinner time. Following the scrumptious feast, she'd frequently say, 'Keep your fork!' We always knew the meaning of that remark. Dessert was coming! With anticipation, we children excitedly awaited arrival of the sweet goodies; and Mother knew just what we all liked."

A revelation was forming within the Pastor, as the explanation continued. "Jesus is at the very center of my life. We are on this earth to serve others and be Living Epistles, known and read of all men. One can always send a message of hope, no matter where that individual might be. I want to proceed to my Coronation Service with a fork in hand. You will tell those passing this body that the best is coming for me. They, too, are to keep their forks!"

That scenario simply blew me away. You and I don't have to await death or the rapture to embrace that same mindset. Satan is the soul's primary enemy. He attacks dreams, visions and revelations, without mercy. The devil has been a liar and robber from the beginning. That is not likely to change. However, God promises promotion to the obedient.

Man's soul has several vital components, and they are the mind, will, emotions, intellect, dreams and visions. Again, hell's battleground is primarily in the region of the natural mind, which is why Christ instructed us to take no thought without running it by the Spirit of Truth. We must cast down vain imaginations (lies) or any high thought attempting to exalt itself against our knowledge of Heaven's Truth, which translates into absolute, total freedom to think, talk and act just like God, with the same success and results. From His vantage point, no good thing will be withheld from the Faithful.

Let's return to my original premise. We do not have to wait until Heaven before experiencing His awesome Outpouring of promise and provision, all locked up in the Blood Covenant. This is really for the wonderful now, and not exclusively the sweet by and by. The world needs to witness His goodness in the land of the living, through the Church.

God's Throne Room possesses no problems or negativity, and is completely void of the adversary's influence. The Church cannot be fooled or robbed there. It is here, on this earth, where She requires a manifestation of the Creator's Love, Light and Life, and Papa fully intends to keep His Word. He will surely have the final say and make a move on that proverbial chessboard. You and I are the men, women and children, or players, who are being meticulously guided by His eye of faith, and hand of victory and prosperity. In plain terms, the Trinity is poised to clean Satan's clock in these unstoppable hours and days of the Spirit. So, by all means, keep your folk! Don't be satisfied with the beggarly elements of this world, when God refused to spare the rod in sending His One and Only to lock us into the Family. As He is, we have become, amongst a hungering, thirsting and ready mass of recipients.

Jesus never lacked a day in His life. When did He not receive appropriate revelation and the ability to reverse captivity? As He is, we have become, in this world. The Savior's words will continually resonate and reverberate throughout eternity. Spoken through the Bride, you and I will have that same effect and outcome. Death and disease could not touch Christ. He chose to lay down His life and determined the precise moment for giving up the ghost. Satan had nothing in Him. Neither has he a right to harm a single hair on your head. The Man has always been in full control, and so is the Church supposed to be. We need to recognize this very fact.

With fork in hand, let's dig into a feast about to be served by the Holy Spirit!

Total Release!

"Waiting One, haven't you noticed lately that your vision has been ongoingly speaking? Dreams have also been gaining attention on a regular basis. And every time that mind lines up with revelation knowledge, an enthusiasm and excitement invigorate every atom of your being. Anxiety and depression seem to mysteriously disappear. Let me share a little more on that Living Epistle mandate. For Sons and Daughters to be like their Heavenly Father is My plan. You see, Dad's glorification is most prolific when the Word becomes flesh and gains manifestation through the lives and ministries of Family Members. Healing, health, provision and prosperity, yes...even raising the dead, cause the angels to rejoice and put a smile on this face. Make no mistake about it. God's pride is predominately based upon the Glory working in, and through, each Child, purging darkness and everything contrary to the Covenant. Christ's Blood on the Mercy Seat cries out for abundant and complete restoration, reconciliation and deliverance of humanity, a Voice heard at both ends, night and day. The uncomfortable comfort zone is becoming more uncomfortable. What once was acceptable and tolerable is now almost unbearable. That dissatisfaction and desire for more are of Me! Fear not! It is I Who works in you, both to will and do of My good pleasure. The Author's will is to be done on earth, just as it is in Heaven. Again, the two are literally kissing each other, as I speak. Ponder what it's like here, in the Secret Place, or location (Throne Room) of imparted revelation. It is the Lord's desire to share without limitation, express His heart to all who choose to hear, while knowledge exponentially increases at a pace never previously observed. That's the blueprint of what's about to rain down upon the just and unjust alike; and I am talking about a tangibility of the miraculous, the likes of which have not been either discerned or felt to date. So, keep that proverbial fork! Remain standing at the table, instant in and out of season, ready to venture forth into the most fruitful harvest ever. You will disseminate an Anointing that will obliterate all that is not of Me, and there will be a positive Contagion to the enemy's counterfeit, as scores are set ablaze with a Fire that will be fueled by the Lamb's Blood. There's been a spirit of fainting in the Body of Christ and world. Hope deferred does make the heart sick. Well, get ready! The Deliverer is about to appear unto your joy in ways beyond imagination. Again, keep that fork!"

Heaven richly moved upon those attending a recent Miracle Rally conducted by Dr. Paul Gervais, in Rutland, Vermont. Tangible manifestations of Glory Dust, Gold crowns and crosses, whole rows of teeth (Gold), as well as physical healings in response to words of knowledge, are depicted on the fifteen-minute, digitally produced (color) video.

In this period of temporary oppression, it's so refreshing to witness Heaven's appetizer of what's ahead for the world and Body of Christ. The clip is awesome!
