From the Desk of Doctor Paul ...
"That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus
Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith...And
if ye be Christ's (bone of His bone, flesh of His flesh), then are ye
Abraham's seed, and heirs, according to the promise." Galations 3:14, 29
Vision: 9-11-99
In the revelation, many people appeared to be relaxing, sunning themselves on a beautiful, sandy beach. The day seemed perfect for that type of activity. Little children were running around, dipping their toes into the chilly water, while parents watched with pride and contentment. Others ingested favorite foods, as they exchanged pleasantries. Clearly, it was a nice place to be. This writer certainly yearned, physically, for a day in that location. Nevertheless, I was there in spirit.
Suddenly, the scene shifted, as I found myself being propelled, at lightning speed, over a rough ocean, in a supersonic racing boat without walls! There was water everywhere. Looking back, relaxed bodies could be seen on the shoreline. However, within seconds, no land was visible to the eye, only fog, darkness and a sense of solitude. Adrenaline flowed, as a discovery was made that this Child of God stood alone, with no perceivable life in sight, absent of fellowship and the comforts that most of us seemingly take for granted. I listened for the Voice of that One Who has always been there...yes, even in the tough times. He didn't disappoint me.
The Word of the Lord then came, saying:
"Paul, it is surely written that I have gone to prepare a place for every member of the Body, so that where Daddy is, there His Child might be, also. Understand, there are no limitations in the realm from which the Spirit operates, as the Most High moves within many dimensions, not merely three. Time travel is no problem for Me. You are on a straight line. I'm not. Jesus continues to be the same, yesterday, today and forever. He is in the Christian's past, present and future, attempting to heal...reframe, as well as restructure, events and experiences of yesteryear, those weapons that were once formed against that one. There is no future in the past. In fact, the past is to be a servant of the future. Realize, also, that the Third Person of the Trinity will take the things of Mine and reveal them unto you...even that which is to come. Relative to safely reaching those prepared places, you must recognize that the spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, the locale in which I make known My perfect will. Obeying those nudgings and promptings on the inside remains paramount, if we are to vitally meet in established arenas of faith and victory. The stage has been set and, in some cases, is currently being structured, for each Child's deliverance, promotion and destiny. Within that region is certain healing for spirit, soul and body, total provision, a level of having all sufficiency in everything pertaining to life and godliness, since I am more than enough!! There are always leftovers with Me. Wasn't that the case with the little boy's lunch? Again, obedience, faith and patience will propel you to the Secret Place that can only be found in Me."
"There is a deep calling within the Church, in these mighty days of the
Spirit. Sense that, Precious Child! The deep calling has a deep answering, as
I am working in you, both to will and do of My good pleasure. Trust those
desires, without reservation, as I have promised to impregnate your heart
with Dad's blueprint, the hope of that faith...Heaven's Divine plan. The
vision is for an appointed time. Though it tarry, wait for it. Gestate!
Consequently, the revelation will be pulled from the unseen into the seen,
take on flesh!! Yes, My Word will ultimately become flesh and dwell among
men, for all to witness. Would I ever give you a stone for a loaf of bread,
or a scorpion for a fish? Absolutely not! Every good and perfect gift comes
from Me. Heaven cannot accord the world what it doesn't have. People need to
understand that, as I am daily blamed for everything that emanates from the
enemy. Sickness, poverty and death do not abide in My Presence, only absolute
peace, joy, life and prosperity. Such is to be the case with you! Tell the
world that they are loved by a good God who is predisposed to show favor.
Two-thousand years ago, Jesus left my physical presence to save the lost. But
there was another reason for sending Him; and that is this. I so loved the
world, and, to this moment, am profoundly in love with all men, women and
children, every aspect of creation. The sin matter had to be forever settled.
And He was the only answer. Let that be your primary message. Remain in that
Secret Place of the Most High, as we both do business in great waters! The
Father's heart cry, that vision in your spirit, will be made manifest on
earth, as it has been disclosed to you from the vantage point of Heaven,
since I am watching over My revelation to perform it. And no word, from here,
is void of the Power necessary to bring itself to pass. Know that!"
"You are the apple of My eye! Ponder this. Where are the big fish? Are they
near the beach, where most like to sun and bathe, or out there, in the depths
of darkness and solitude...the Spirit? I am calling the Bride to go far
beyond Her comfort zone, forsaking all to follow Me. It is time to cast your
net on the other side of the boat, while setting that face as flint,
determining to settle for nothing but Dad's best. Most don't want to venture
beyond the sun and sand. But I have directed you to follow the Son! Yes, deep
is calling unto deep. That can be keenly felt within. Resist and rebuke any
spirit of fear, Child, as you are not alone. The big fish are out there, in
great numbers. Those answering the call will be taken to even higher places
than ever thought. It is important for you to not be moved by the sense
realm...the wind and waves, so to speak. Simply trust the navigational
equipment, which has been implanted on the inside (Holy Spirit). He is
working overtime to bring the Believer into a large place for My glory!"
"Signs, wonders and miracles have always been the dinner bell of the Holy
Spirit. That is the case now, more than ever before, since Satan has taken
his best shot at humanity, literally and figuratively. It is time for the
thief to steal no more. I am tired of him, the way he has beat up on all of
creation. This earth awaits that wonderful manifestation of the sons and
daughters of God. Let Daddy instruct you with His expertise. He is the best
Fisher of men! I will supply the bait, that Anointing, the words to be
spoken, those unprecedented works. Depart from the shore line of mediocrity.
Leave behind the beggarly elements of this world, as we plunder hell and
populate Heaven, together!"
Nothing is more thrilling than communicating with the Father. Consider the
very reasons why a decision was made to create man. God wanted children, with
whom He could fellowship, to lavishly bless! Have we not been instructed to
come boldly to the Throne, where grace and mercy can be freely received? Oh,
how He yearns for our attention. Imagine that!! The Creator not only loves,
but needs to loved! And we fit the bill, being the very center of His
attention and affection. That blows me away!
Take note of the balance He has established, from food, water, air, to the
very axis of this planet. Everything is so orderly. Each day supports life
and abundance, even more so, when one enters that Blood bought Covenant,
which is between Jesus and the Father. We simply go in there and ratify the
document.
Balance and provision are upheld by the Word of His Power! What fills those
spaces between, and within, atoms, protons and neutrons...but the very same.
His Word sustains the entire universe. The Holy Spirit is the much needed
restraining Power. Take Him away, and we will have nothing but chaos! In
fact, to some extent, that happens, daily, when the Perfect Gentleman, the
Heavenly Dove, is not permitted access, refusing to intrude, or violate the
human will.
The Church is in the process of gaining a keen revelation, from the Truth
Bearer, of Her real identity in Christ. For years, we have walked and
operated so far beneath our rights and privileges in Him, permitting the
enemy to steal, kill and destroy. Hands folded at graves, we buried many
prematurely. It's as though we have been desensitized to Daddy's perfect
will, His loving heart. But that is about to turn around! He is awaiting a
day, when the Church becomes the real medical center and source of
Resurrection Power! Can you imagine ambulances and hearses pulling up to that
front door...people being wheeled in, and walking out? Now, that will win a
few souls into the Kingdom! Read Matthew 10:8, once more. Are we truly
measuring up, as Believers? Have the "greater works" been done in the Name
that is above all others? Allow the Holy Spirit answer those all important
questions. This celestial ball depends upon our gaining answers!
As He is, we have become in this world, bone of His bone, flesh of His flesh.
Father and Child are one...via the Blood, if you will, Jesus'. And that Blood
has a Voice on the Mercy Seat in the Heavenly Holy of Holies, forever
articulating your righteousness, identity, position in Him, revelation
knowledge, the blueprint of that faith, which happens to be His. Face it!! We
have nothing. Everything is a gift! Faith will work in your heart, when there
is doubt in that head. Our expectancy and dependency are from God.
Where is the Life, that Zoe? It is discovered in the Blood! How can sickness,
poverty and death survive in an environment of Love, Light, Life, Power? They
can't! You are the light of the world, since Jesus lives abundantly on the
inside. Whatever attempts to invade a Christian's space had better be from
Him. If not, reject it, including those thoughts and vain imaginations that
we are mandated to not readily "take," but bring into full captivity to the
knowledge of the Word.
Do you eat everything placed on your plate? Some do. But, look at it, first,
just in case. The same holds true, when it comes to what strikes that mind.
The channel changer is in your hand. Use this as a rule of thumb. "If it
doesn't belong to Him, that deal has no right in my being, either, from a
negative thought to a symptom!"
When we remain in constant contact with God, completely and intimately
united, all the Power of Heaven will be at our disposal. Contemplate this
fact, for a moment. A friend of mine once said, "We are connected at the
Jesus!" Words could never be more accurate!
The Life is in the Vine...our Savior. We are the branches, through whom His
Power flows. Fruit is subsequently produced, as a result of yielding to that
transforming generation. We are to be the conduit, which originates in
Heaven's Throne Room, the spout where the Glory comes out, the connection
between His place and ours...the trickle down effect!
Faith works by love. Wouldn't it be great, if there were only one thing that
truly mattered in this life, a focal point for our attention?
This may come as a surprise to some, but that sincerely is the case. The real
key to victory in life, yes, even ministry, is oneness with Him, a living
connection with God. Don't fear the One who meticulously formed your body in
that womb, sealing redemption, marking each to be present on the awaited day,
protecting you, by way of angelic forces, from untold disasters. Only Heaven
contains that account. Perhaps, everything written in those volumes, which
the libraries of earth could never accommodate...prolific works of Christ,
might provide some insight. One day, we will fully know.
Jesus must have been something else, during those few years of active
ministry. And He's still going forward, through yielded vessels of clay, not
necessarily silver or golden containers, entrusting the keys to us! Talk
about faith! He has it! Look at whom the Master has chosen, left in charge of
the store.
The effectiveness of the Believer's walk on this planet is governed by a
factor that is above all others...continual contact with the One who knows
and loves us best. Even though other gauges are very helpful, nothing can
replace the intimacy factor!
If you are ongoingly fellowshipping Him, all related qualities will follow
and flow, naturally. Maintaining a living connection with Daddy produces His
Mind and very thoughts, emotions and actions. Being "connected at the Jesus"
will produce those "greater works than these." Love and forgiveness become
automatic, as we keep that flesh in subjection to the Spirit. Looking unto
Jesus, the Author and Finish Carpenter of our faith, translates into a
likeness of Him, in both word and deed.
What exactly promotes that intimacy? The answer is simple. Keeping the lines
of communication open, always being available to hear from Heaven, knowing
who you are in Christ, the fact that old things have passed away. Beyond
that, all has become new.
Rid yourself of guilt. You have no negative past in Him! So much hangs in the
balance of that decision, including lives and souls, your own happiness and
success. Remember, you have been "joined at the Jesus" to do business in the
depths of the Spirit!
