Heaven's Gateway!

"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven..." Ecclesiastes 3:1

"Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ." Romans 10:17

"For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you." Romans 12:3

So many in the Body of Christ are weary and ready to give up on themselves, the Heaven Father, and their respective dreams and visions. In order to avoid frustration and the temptation to quit, we must know there's a due season and appointed time for everything. When God has designated a specific day and hour to manifest His Word and indwelling promises, nothing and no one can get in the way.

Contemplate Glory's mighty miracles of old. The Red Sea couldn't resist the Children of Israel's toes. Currents had no power over that fish with gold coins in its mouth. Jericho's walls yielded to the marchers' obedience. Lepers' captivity was not sustained one minute beyond Heaven's appointed time. Christ's tomb didn't possess enough stone and material resistance to retain His lifeless frame.

Without question, God is seasonal. Such is the case, even in the natural. The sower plants in the spring and harvests during the fall months. If he were to reverse that process, there would be no yield. We have learned to naturally move with seasons. More importantly, the Revelator is teaching us to recognize and cooperate with the Most High's tides and timing.

What does that say to me? First of all, the Christian is to be cognizant of the Father's methods, while fully and astutely cooperating with His guidance process, not unlike the pilot or navigator, in dealing with the wind, waves and weather. When venturing outside, most of us dress in cooperation with both temperature and external conditions. Fishermen set their sails by the moon and tide. Times and seasons prompt behavior and certainly determine outcome. Such is the case when dealing with spiritual matters.

Amongst the numerous signs and wonders over the years, I'll never forget one, in particular. Two Roman Catholic girls had been brought to one of my Miracle Rallies by their grandmother. Without prior knowledge, each had an eternal appointment with destiny. Many were in the testimony line on that Texas evening, most of whom had responded to words of knowledge and been healed. That was never unusual, since revelatory utterance possesses the necessary ability to bring itself to pass. Faith-filled words dominate the law of sin and death. Such was the case that night. Nevertheless, those two nine-year-olds, looking very much alike in appearance, hadn't been in any of the prayer lines, but remained in their seats, as the Word was launched, while basking in His Presence. Neither had I laid hands on them. In spite of all that, they were standing tall, within inches of me, adorning huge smiles on their faces, their toes pointed outwardly. The facts of this case were yet to be learned. This Servant didn't possess a clue, concerning what happened to them in that three hour period. When questioning what Jesus had accomplished in the auditorium, their grandmother quickly delivered the facts. "These twins were born with grossly deformed legs and feet. I felt a strong leading for us to be here tonight. As you spoke, their limbs simultaneously and spontaneously straightened. And here they are, healed!"

Numerous surgeries had been planned in the lives of those beautiful girls. The fruit of God's love, their grandmother's obedience and mine, was astoundingly evident to us all. It was clearly their time. Aside from being present, neither had control over outcome. Heaven's will was seasonally accomplished in their midst.

Did Heaven use a lottery to determine who was to be moved upon in the Crusade? Absolutely not! Each person in those responsive prayer lines had awaited various periods for manifestation. Some had lived with sicknesses, diseases and circumstances for years. Their faith had been sorely tested. Once more, in some cases, a whole lot of waiting was involved, with considerable questioning and frustration. A day likely didn't pass without Satan doing his thing, exclaiming..."Give up! It's too late. His Word and Covenant aren't true, at least for you. God is rejecting your prayers and pleas." Nothing could have been further from the truth. Once more, times and seasons were involved. Hell couldn't curtail Glory's command.

Listen to this. Upon receiving Christ as Lord and Savior of your life, not only does the Holy Spirit take up residency within that heart, but you are literally given the very mind of Christ...His faith and fruit. Implanted within that configuration is the ability to hear, act and enjoy the results of words emanating from the Throne Room. We are to represent the Sender in the world's eyes. Our hands aren't tied. Conduiting is key.

Everything we do is to translate into blessing humanity and fulfilling Commission, as well as Covenant. The Believer's future is in the Word. Interestingly enough, as we spend time in God's Presence, there's a transference of vision, destiny, invigoration, empowerment and faith. Nothing can happen on this planet, unless the Almighty's will has been Divinely discerned, conveyed and prophesied. Why would that be? You and I, giving utterance to dreams, visions and spiritual impartations, are the Voice of His Word, the Conduit or Spout where the Glory comes out. No revelation from Him is void of the ability to bring itself to pass.

The Holy Spirit shared a marvelous fact with me earlier this week, relative to faith and fear. Faith, His, is Heaven's Gateway, the substance and evidence of vision, those things hoped for, that which has been unveiled by the Impregnator of the soul. Outside of faith, the Believer can do nothing. Neither the Trinity, nor angels, can operate beyond Covenant's walls. So, as we speak, He moves. One cannot separate faith from Scripture. If there's a refusal to walk in the Word, faith remains absent. Faith is really confidence in God's ability to bring His Word to pass. Fear says, "I'm confident that Satan has the wherewithal to manifest his lies." We can no longer straddle the fence or halt between two opinions.

The Bible is very clear when addressing faith. Again, each person receiving our Savior is given Jesus' mind and associated attributes. Exploits are generated from that wonderful combination. Outside of the Word...faith's Fuel, the Lord's will cannot be carried out.

Conversely, without fear... faith's bipolar opposite and counterfeit, Satan becomes completely paralyzed in the Believer's walk and ministry. Fear's fuel is torment, the latter of which is designed to pull Christ's Church into the realm of earth's natural, the senses, a location where the spiritual is negated, while becoming foolish and contradictory. That's precisely where Glory's Child becomes confused and potentially defeated in a vital, not legal, manner.

Fear's content is torment. When peace is absent, that negative entity has gained ground. The bottom line here is, Dad can do nothing outside of faith, and the adversary can never be fruitful without first instilling fear. Selfishness, man's desire to control, compulsive and addictive tendencies and behaviors, pride and anger, are fear's fruit. They have no place in the Family! Our arena of operation and success has always been, and will invariably be, within Covenant and faith, that which is written. Heaven's hands are tied, beyond the Blood's boundaries. Therein we discover God's Secret Place, the Almighty's Shadow, a location of revelation, health, prosperity, success, unprecedented victory, an effective presentation of the Gospel.

The Infilling!

"Beloved, know this. Nothing and no one can escape Heaven's Presence, as I Am a Filler of all things. Everyone is being challenged in this hour. The Glory is nudging men, women and children away from their comfort zones. Promotion is at the other end of that endeavor. So many resist health and prosperity. In reality, they are actually opposing themselves, as without abundance, whether that be silver, gold, the ability to perform the Word and work the works, a modified mindset, the winning of souls becomes an uphill battle. Has it not been written that I indwell, or occupy, the praises of My Children? Such is the case. Beyond that, I fill all things with Me, since the very universe remains sustained by the word of Heaven's Power. Listen attentively! Inherent within each problem, including sickness, poverty, death, opposing and contrary circumstances, is the answer, as everything in existence comprises the Father's Unction and Presence. The cure's in the curse, since where sins abounds, grace muchmore gains ascendency. I Am in all. The Word, spoken through faith-filled lips, sets atoms, molecules and elements into motion, correcting problems from the inside out, reversing the curse, dispelling darkness and setting at liberty them who have been bruised by the devil. A new confidence and convincing are arriving this very moment, as the womb of your spirit, that heart, receives a revelatory Seed of Life. In order to fill, space must be created. So, the Church is being challenged to adjust, modify, prune and depart previous traditions and ways. Yieldedness is key. Your spiritual boundary will invariably resist fear. However, a vote is necessary to stand against all enemies. Fear invades potential regions of anointing. Hell wants you paralyzed and off course. Believe those beliefs, and doubt your doubts. Run everything through the Grid of Calvary's cross. Never is the Church to fear a counterfeit. The Holy Spirit will unveil the phony, as His job is to bear witness of Christ and the Savior's lan. You will not always agree with, or cerebrally comprehend, Heaven's ways. But your heart will offer witness to the Word. I Am well capable of taking care of, blessing, sustaining and promoting the Family. Let that expectancy be from Me. The arm of flesh will fall short and ultimately fail. Men will let you down, and that process is healthy, since all eyes must be affixed on the Throne. As a jealous God, One Who is so protective and provisional, I resist anything that falls short of My best for the Bride. Come! Let us reason together. Bring your thoughts into the Secret Place. For some, that will mean 'having it out' with Papa. Don't worry. I can handle your venting and emotions. Who is the Wonderful Counselor? Doesn't a good therapist compassionately permit feelings, regardless of content? You've already been judged, Dear Child, the very righteousness of God in Christ. That matter has been forever settled on this end. Boldly approach the Commander-in-Chief with each mindset. After all, you ossess rank, as a Joint-Heir. Therein there will be an exchange of thoughts and plans. For the record, Mine will blow your socks off. During Our visits, I'll accord full recognition of the higher life, how much you've been living beneath your rights and privileges in the Contract. The Blood speaks deliverance, direction, identity and victory, twenty-four hours a day. Awareness of My Mind is the genesis of being led. It's time to get over, and empty self. That Vessel will not remain dry and without an infilling, as the God of full sufficiency fills all!"
