From the Desk of Doctor Paul ...
"I am the Vine, you are the branches. Whoever lives in Me, and I in him,
bears much (abundant) fruit. However, apart from Me...cut off from vital
union with Me...you can do nothing. If a person does not dwell in Me, he is
thrown out as a (broken-off) branch and withers." John 15:5-6
It's a sunny day in Southern California. Basking in His Presence is the greatest privilege a Believer can enjoy. And to think, He has already given us everything pertaining to life and godliness...beauty, joy, power, comfort and peace. And the list goes on and on. That could only originate from the committed heart of the Father, one loaded with unfathomable love and compassion.
While communing with Him, words from Heaven were prolific. They began flowing, last evening, just before TBN's "Praise" program. Let's begin there.
While at Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN), a tremendous sense of compassion
overwhelmed this writer, followed by a vision, involving many suffering in
silence, with screams that could not be heard by human ears, scars, which
seemed to remain unseen.
A man was lying on a small cot, in what appeared to be an extremely humid
mobile home. His thoughts went something like this: "It's over! I have had
this pain for more days than can be remembered. Everyone has forgotten me,
including God. I am one of those who apparently have fallen through a crack
in the Covenant!"
Despair and despondency ruled the day of that individual in the vision, who
appeared to be riddled with fever and torment, embracing a grim prognosis.
Many can identify with that gentleman who knew no peace. His ears were
entertaining nothing but lies. People, yes, some from the church, had turned
their backs on him, counting the situation as hopeless. They, too, felt
powerless in the matter.
He went on, mentally taking inventory, "I have prayed much, with little
results. Perhaps, it's because of my sins."
The tormentor and accuser of the Brethren was working overtime, adding,
"You're one of those who will not be healed and prospered. It's useless. Give
up! I'm in control of your next breath. God won't grant an audience to those
pleas." Heaven seemed as brass, upon hearing words that came from the pits of
hell.
That was enough for these ears. It was time to do something. We are not to
merely stand there, with anointed hands in our pockets, helplessly watching.
It's so interesting how Satan is often permitted the first move at the chess
board of life, after which, the Father goes in and cleans that boy's clock.
My response, in the spirit, to that revelation, was instantaneous. "Satan,
you have had your say. Now, the Father is poised to speak!" The Word of the
Lord then flooded that TBN studio.
"Tell My people this. The Spirit of Truth and deliverance is moving quickly,
as well as richly, over the earth, raining on the just and unjust, alike.
Yes, this is a great move of repair, restoration and reconciliation for
spirit, soul, body and ministry. I will no longer stand still, while the
Children are abused by that one defeated, via the Blood of the Holy Child.
The Father's heart is uniquely and compassionately with the oppressed,
brokenhearted and suffering, to set each and every individual free, those
bruised by the enemy. It's not within His will for a single soul to perish.
For I have arisen with healing in My wings, in these days of the Spirit.
Adjustments are being made. Concerning the covenanted, wholeness remains part
of the contract. However, I am brooding over unbelievers, as well, to woo
them into the Kingdom with unprecedented love...signs, wonders and miracles,
the dinner bell of the Holy Spirit."
"Mighty hope and destiny reside in Me. Trust not in those days, weeks, months
and years of oppression. I am about to do a new thing! The old will pass
away. Turn off all lying and intimidating spirits...that oppression. You
are My sheep, possessing a mandate to strictly hear the Father's Voice. That
heaviness is about to lift. Praise Me! I inhabit, take up residency in, your
worship. It immediately brings Glory onto the scene."
"Remember, thoughts don't dominate thoughts. Words dominate thoughts.
Faith-filled utterances rule over the law of sin and death. You are the Voice
of the Word on this planet, have the same creative ability as the Father,
when speaking forth that, which is heard in the Throne Room. And I am the
High Priest of your confession, watching over My Word, in and through you, to
perform it. No revelation from Me is void of the Power necessary to bring
itself to pass. Each is a seed, wherein abides Life...faith containers of the
Glory, the manifest Presence, actually. Begin walking and talking what you
believe and know to be true, those marvelous revelations, granted during
precious visits with your God."
"The supernatural is about to become the natural. Where sin abounds, grace
will invariably rise to the challenge and deliver certain victory. Every
negative in your life and ministry is to bend its knee before My Holy Name.
Listen carefully for that still, small Voice. Boldly declare what has been
heard on the inside of your spirit. Those words are about to take on flesh
and dwell among men. Oh, what a witness they will be!"
"There cannot be a message without a mess, or a testimony without a test. I
have promised a way of escape, and will not allow you to be tested beyond
endurance. Experience makes one effective. But it must be experienced with
victory. Faith works that experience (salvation...to the uttermost, for
spirit, soul, body, finances and ministry). Experience (deliverance) promotes
hope (the blueprint or plan) for the next encounter. Without firsthand
knowledge of My faithfulness, there can be no profession. Imagine being
called as a witness in court, without being privy to the facts. Taste and see
that I am good! Those enemies, you are about to see no more. For I am the God
of all flesh. Nothing is too difficult for Me! Your captivity is being
turned!"
"In these days of My Spirit, earth is to mirror Heaven. The Father's will is
to be done identically, in both locations. All I am and have will back those
words, spoken through yielded lips of clay. For you have an unction from the
Holy One. Angel forces hearken unto the Voice of My word, spoken through the
Believer, that which has been heard in those Throne Room encounters with
Daddy. Heaven and earth have never been closer than at this very hour. Crawl
up into your Father's lap; come boldly, fully knowing that you belong there,
seated together in Heavenly Places (your head on My chest) with Christ. Hear
the beating of this heart, as it cries out to bless humanity, manifest that
long-awaited Presence. Become as a little child. Empty yourself, while I fill
you with My essence and nature. Hear the Holy One's Voice, Precious Child.
It's so easy! The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, the place in which
He makes known His will. Trust those nudgings and promptings. You are being
personally guided with the eye of God, one candle power, a step, at a time.
Make that next move, and the following step will be revealed, as you go from
Glory to Glory, miracle to miracle, by the Spirit."
"I am calling the Church to not merely have a form of godliness, but be a
conduit of My Power. Forms will fill auditoriums. However, Heaven's Power
wins and retains souls, changes lives! You must be obedient to that radar
(Mind of Christ) I have afforded, residing on the inside of your spirit.
Truly, you possess the very thoughts of the Father. Trust that Voice within.
I will not give you a stone for a loaf of bread, or a scorpion for a fish,
but the real thing. The Holy Spirit's job is to take the things of Mine and
reveal them unto you, resulting in multitudes entering into the Kingdom,
because of the Children's sensitivity. Expect dreams and visions, as they are
My language. The more that Presence is practiced, the mightier those
unveilings will be."
"It was expedient, in your best interest, really, for Me to return Home, in
order that I might send you another Comforter. The Spirit of Truth and
Revelation arrived on that expected day, is richly dwelling on the inside of
each Believer, keenly dedicated to your victory and success, taking the plan
of Heaven and relating that blueprint to the Children. And, the Savior made
the trip safely to Heaven. If that hadn't been the case, He would not be
operating on this earth. So, be of good cheer! All is on schedule. When that
last cell is added to the Body, I will return for My Bride. Even that earth
suit is no longer your own, but belongs to Me, purchased by the Blood.
There's the healing you've been awaiting! The radar (Holy Spirit) will both
direct and transform. Lean not unto your own understanding. But, in all ways,
acknowledge Me, the Christ in you. Just as sophisticated aircraft are
equipped with the ability to see the unseen, such is the case with each
Believer. Success will be great!"
"Much is said about faith. Know this! You have the faith of God. That
arrived, when Christ was accepted into your heart. Consider the fact that I
have left the Children in charge of the store. My hands are tied, without
their obedience. So, in reality, I have more faith in the Believer than he
has in Me, since I personally know and trust you. All hinges upon total
obedience, working out that Great Salvation. When accepting the Son, the Holy
Spirit seals your redemption, marking you to be present on that glorious day.
Residing richly on the inside, His duty is to grant the Mind of Christ,
working that salvation, from the inside out...spirit, then soul, followed by
that body, which He quickens, makes alive (healing, health, prosperity), via
the Law of the Spirit of Life. From there, the Christian takes that anointing
to a lost and dying world...again, working out My salvation! Rivers of Living
Water flow from bowels of compassion, reversing mankind's curse and
captivity, thus revealing the Risen Lord!"
If you remain in constant contact with God, while being vitally united, all
of Heaven's Power will remain at your disposal. Nothing will be impossible in
your life and ministry.
Think about that for a moment. Contemplate how marvelous it would be to have
such harmony with the Father that He did everything you requested.
According to the Master, that type of relationship is available to every
Believer. The only condition is for us to count the cost, fully commit to His
cause and sell out. Don't look back!! There is nothing in this world for you,
but an opportunity to follow Him, serve people, plunder hell and populate
Heaven.
So, let's do it! Make a quality decision to put everything you are, and have,
into His high call. Cease compromising and permitting the things of this
earth to consume time, solely meant for Him.
Then, ask for what you need and want. Do that, also, on behalf of others,
bearing the burdens of the weak and not pleasing yourself. Don't be fearful
or shy, but bold, recognizing that when God is given priority in our lives,
He grants us priority in His life. That's precisely what Jesus meant, when He
said, "Whosoever (really) loves Me will be loved by My Father. And I (too)
will love him and will show (reveal, manifest) Myself to him...(John 14:21)."
The Lord once explained the matter to Rufus Moseley, a great man of God who
was promoted to Heaven, years ago, in these words: "Life in Jesus is
gloriously easy. It has one responsibility: the responsibility of remaining
in union. If you stay in union with Me, I'll take care of everything else."
Believer, you keep in union! He will perfect (make perfect) all that pertains
to your life and ministry!
