From the Desk of Doctor Paul ...
Satisfaction Guaranteed!
'"For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will
not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and
will not delay.'" Habakkak 2:3
"Do you show your wonders to the dead? Do they who are dead rise up and
praise you? Is your love declared in the grave, your faithfulness in destruction?
Are your wonders known in the place of darkness, or your righteous deeds in the
land of oblivion?" Psalm 88:10-12
'"He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble.
I will deliver him and honor him. With long life will I satisfy him and show
him my salvation.'" Psalm 91:15-16
My heart often reflects on the passing of Kenneth E. Hagin, one of the
greatest Generals of Faith that humanity has ever known. Our outreaches once served
the Kingdom in tandem, as we occasionally ministered to God's people in the
same regions. It was always a comfort to know that the Holy Spirit and Ken were
within reach. If that special man hadn't been obedient to the Lord's call,
having totally sold out, this work wouldn't be present today. Souls would have
been lost. Who knows where I'd be?
Kenneth was steady and focused, when I sometimes wasn't. The Word, through
God's yielded Vessel, kept me on plumb, was an encouraging and challenging Light
in some fairly dark situations and places. As others were failing and falling
all around, when people questioned the Covenant's faithfulness, I, more often
than not, turned to Ken for both example and edification. He was a Living
Epistle, known and read of all men.
This highly anointed evangelist once remarked, "If you've heard that I'm
gone, you'll know I got satisfied." Kenneth's transition to Glory much paralleled
the passing of Smith Wigglesworth. While at the breakfast table, he simply and
clearly knew promotion was coming, smiled, lowered his head, and was on his
way, not unlike Jesus on that cross, Who was in full control of Heaven's
transition.
Our Savior chose the exact moment to give up the ghost. No man could take the
Master's life. He willingly laid it down for you and me. "Father, into your
hands I commend My spirit." An atomic bomb could have exploded in His hand, yet
He would have walked away, preaching the Gospel, casting out devils, healing
the sick and raising the dead. The times and seasons invariably cooperated
with Him. Then, and today, Heaven selects those magic seasons of movement and
promotion, while opening windows and doors that no man can close.
Examine your heart for a moment. What is required for fulfillment and
happiness? Those sustained dreams, visions and desires have been placed within by the
Revelator, Himself. When giving Christ first place and practicing His
Presence, we can trust sustained revelations implicitly. Gestating and birthing them
is the Believer's task.
Earlier this week, a patient at the Clinic asked a valid question: "How can I
be certain of the Father's personal direction?" The answer is so profoundly
simple, we usually miss it. After all, God originally began speaking to us
within the womb. Since then, He hasn't ceased. We obviously have become more
desensitized and embalmed in unbelief...a two-thousand year cumulative process. The
traditions of men, cares of this world, and deceitfulness of influence have
resulted in distraction and dissociation.
Basically, the Lord speaks in a still, small, peaceful Voice, nudgings and
promptings. If your Mom or Dad, even a close loved one, called, you'd instantly
recognize that person at the other end. How often have you asked a well known
individual in your life to identify himself? If that were necessary,
unquestionably the following message would be conveyed. "I don't know you!" What a
letdown and insult that would be to the hearer, who'd probably conclude, "Clearly,
I haven't made much of an impact on the heart of that one. Yet, the same
message is continually sent to the Throne Room, when the Believer refuses to spend
time with the Great Lover, or validate those internal impressions.
We've all been guilty of praying this: "Father, increase my faith (in you)."
In plain terms, this is what the petitioner is saying: "I really don't have
much confidence in your ability to bring the Word to pass." Walk up to a dear
friend and ask that one to intercede, for the purpose of acquiring more faith in
their integrity and ability. Again...what an insult!
You know, the world and devil have lied to us long enough. We aren't citizens
of this planet, but of Heaven, where each Christian's heart is to rest. This
place doesn't have a whole lot to offer, comparatively speaking, but an
opportunity to manifest the Glory and finally fulfill Jesus' prayer of His will
being done on earth, even as it is in Heaven. This is the theater where the Master
will vitally win humanity to Himself, through a manifestation of the Sons and
Daughters of God. The balconies of Glory are packed with observers, that
great crowd of witnesses, as their works have prepared the way for ours, a
wrapping up of this dispensation, a presentation of Children in Dad's Delivery Room.
Nothing thrills the Most High more! That's what you and I are all about.
We are Heaven's Sheep. The Church isn't to fear a rock for a loaf of bread.
As with that familiar soft drink commercial, Dad gives us the "real thing."
Should the Follower of Christ turn to the left or right, there'll be midcourse
corrections, a Voice behind him, saying..."This is the way. Walk ye in it!"
Embrace That Vision!
"Patient Child, that which I've Personally sustained in your spirit can be
fully trusted. It's so important to walk in the light of each moment and day,
while taking no thought about yesterday or tomorrow. Even while this is being
read, the Light of the moment is illuminating truth. I Am not using last week's
sun to provide and facilitate active and vital vision for today. Understand,
the Revelator resides richly on the inside to unveil, correct, convict and
sustain. He is the Amniotic Fluid surrounding every promise, all facets of
Covenant. Has it not been written that I would never permit My Beloved to be given a
stone for a loaf of bread? Listen attentively! You can trust that which was
spoken in those quiet places, since truth will be shouted from the housetops, in
terms of manifestation and tangibility. Satan has absolutely no place in your
thoughts, life or ministry. He's like the slickster who attempts to draw his
victim into a game of deception and loss. Sometimes that process is promoted
through people, which is why it's so essential to salute no man along the way.
Flesh and blood are to have no influence in your walk with Me. The spirit of
man is the candle of the Lord, the location in which Heaven's will is made
known. Even as I speak, the Throne Room has turned up the Heat, in terms of desire
and dissatisfaction. Your discontent and disappointment are potently
perceived on this end. For the record, that posture will be used in promoting you from
one level of Glory to another. Without an inner hunger for more, subsequent
motivation would be minimal to none. Trust your Father's impartation. That
disenchantment remains an ongoing indicator of change. The best is on its way.
What excites your spirit the most? Contemplate that query for a moment. Erase the
soul's blackboard of negativity. Old things have passed away. All is to
become new. Now, permit the Holy Spirit to paint a picture on the canvass of that
heart. What do you see? Protect and gestate the unveiling. Maintain fellowship
with Me, while the Baby grows in your spirit. I Am instructing the Church to
walk and have Her being in the realm of the unseen. You will call those things
which be not, as though they were, until each becomes. Glory possesses a
Waiting Room, a locale of anticipation and expectancy. Therein lies the fulfillment
of promises. So, be still. Put up your feet. Read the Book. That answer will
not always tarry!"
