From the Desk of Doctor Paul ...
Our Helper!
"For since He Whom God has sent speaks the words of God...God does not give
him His Spirit sparingly or by measure, but boundless is the gift God makes
of His Spirit!" John 3:34
What would we do without Him...the Standby, Comforter, Motivator of Change,
that wonderful Power Agent of the Trinity? I am nothing in the great Miracle
Services. He is all! Without His Presence, there can no Salvation, since man
only comes to the Father when the Third Person of the Trinity does the
drawing. Signs and wonders are His handiwork. The Holy Spirit, Heaven's
Public Relations Agent, will always glorify Jesus. He is here for that
purpose, our Divine Connection to the Throne Room.
When stepping out onto the platform, there is a sense of absolute
helplessness. What do I have to offer anyone? Then, His Presence arrives...a
supercharging of the atmosphere, a knowing that He is present to empower,
save, heal, unveil Daddy's heart to a hungering and thirsting people.
Jesus' full dependency was upon Him. Should we operate any differently in
these final days of the Spirit? The Church has tried to do just that for
years and is currently recognizing that we are profoundly impotent without
our Special Agent.
By description, He is an absolute Gentleman, readily moved, yet easily
grieved. Nothing stirs His hand any faster than when the Believer lifts up
the Holy One (Christ). At that juncture, Heaven is brought to earth in the
form of love letters and stylized gifts. The Paraclete (Holy Spirit)
precisely knows how to reach this planet and change mankind into the image of
Christ. Somewhere, within the recesses of every heart, is a yearning that can
only be satisfied by His Presence and touch. The Christian subsequently
becomes the spout where the Glory comes out, bathing future recipients in a
shroud of righteousness, healing, prosperity...the fulness of Daddy's vision
and heart cry.
While pondering Heaven's Gift, the word of the Lord richly arrives to accord
Fresh Bread for today's meal. The Holy Spirit is serving your table!
Christ Sat Down!
"It is finished! Precious Child, remember those words from the cross, during
the Savior's encounter with unimaginable pain and agony? At that point, all
sin, sickness, poverty and oppression was borne by Me...past, present and
future, for every individual in the world, not merely a select few, as Satan
would like some to believe. Surely, I have carried that which has attempted
to attach itself to your spirit, soul, body, life and ministry. The enemy
continues in his attempt to convince the Church that portions of the Covenant
were negated and nullified years ago. How often have you heard that miracles
ended shortly after the Redeemer's earthly walk? Recollect those marvelous
words of promise, concerning the greater works that are to be wrought in
response to the Savior's Name. You have been given the keys to hell and
death! All dominion and authority has been handed over to the Bride. When the
Kids walk, I walk. Their commands, under the Unction of the Holy Spirit,
possess full Power to bring themselves to pass, as did Mine. So few totally
comprehend that fact. Beloved, your Master is seated at the right hand of
Dad, proudly observing the Body as She goes about doing good, reversing the
curse, setting at liberty those who have been bruised by the adversary. I
have done all to ensure total success and victory! The decision to move
forward is now in the will of man. It's time to gain Heaven's vision...fully
preach the Gospel with signs, wonders and unprecedented manifestations.
Prepare to go forth! Don't be surprised, as the sick are healed by the
masses, the dead raised, scores come into the Kingdom in response to the
Believer's obedience and oneness with Me. This is a new hour and day. Lay
aside the traditions of old, which have made the Word of God ineffective.
Forget those former years of oppression. Remain standing at that table of
expectation. A new wave is heading in your direction from the depths of the
Spirit. Nothing can stop us now. The Cloud of Glory is poised to move!"
Full Dependency!
"You are living in an hour of great darkness, Anointed Child. Hearts are
fainting all over the land, as the enemy intensifies his pressure against
humanity. What Satan doesn't realize is this. An insatiable appetite is
simultaneously being established in the hearts of men, women and children for
My Presence. Man was not created to be separated from Daddy. There is a
calling from the Throne for people. Deep is resonating unto deep this very
hour. A revelation is impacting the planet, one of redemption and
deliverance. Where sin abounds, grace is prevailing all the more. As the
accuser turns up his heat, the Glory will flow...rivers of Living Water,
extinguishing works of negativity...sin, sickness, poverty and death. Imagine
righteousness, health, prosperity and Life overcoming those trespassing
opposites! Scores are poised to be herded into the Kingdom. Heaven's windows
are open. Recognize the excellency of My Power, as I send you to the four
corners of the earth with an unimaginable Unction. Walk not by sight. But be
sensitive to the nudgings and promptings on the inside. Trust that heart.
Cease questioning and analyzing. Operate from your belly...bowels of
compassion, since faith works by love, and love never fails. Depend solely
upon the Sealer of your redemption, the One marking each Child to be present
on that day at the Family Reunion. A great feast is in preparation. But for
now, there is a work to be done, a hell to plunder, a Heaven to populate. I
will not give you a stone for a loaf of bread. Never forget, intimacy with
Dad promotes Divine accuracy, both in word and deed!"
His Job!
"Beloved, fear not! Why do you question? Your expectation is from Me. There
is always a manward side to those promises and manifestations. However, once
you have been obedient to that still, small Voice, the Godward portion will
materialize. The Church was not established to fail, but shine! I take great
delight and pride in revealing Myself through yielded Vessels...the Kids.
However, it is paramount that you let Me work the works. Don't label or
judge, but love and serve, while lifting up that Name which is above all
others. Then watch Me move and perform the impossible! You will enjoy a front
row seat, as Heaven kisses earth with the Glory. Did I not say, Nothing shall
be impossible? Only believe! Look inwardly, while the Spirit of Destiny
paints a breathtaking vision on the canvas of your heart...the Seed that will
soon take on flesh and be witnessed by all. In the meantime, consider
yourself a Conduit through whom this world will be turned upside down with
unparalleled exploits. Dad's best is just ahead!"
I often reflect on the promise of Jesus, as He was about to leave His
disciples. The Master knew we would be powerless on our own, unable to
fulfill the Great Commission without some very special help. Consequently, a
decision was made to send the Holy Spirit into this world. Once here, He was
to become the Believer's Teacher, Guide and Comforter, in full charge of the
ministry and work of the Church, directing each Member in sync with the
Father's thoughts and plan.
Having taken up residency on the inside, when permitted, He governs actions,
thinks through our minds, loves, via the Christian's heart, while working in
us both to will and do of the Father's good pleasure.
Under the old dispensation, the Helper had dwelt between the Cherubim in the
Holy of Holies. Now, He richly abides in the soul and spirit of man, this new
tabernacle of flesh. Your body has become His Temple!
It is vital to recognize that the Holy Spirit is a Person. In Matthew 28:19,
Jesus says, "Go ye into all the world and make disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Spirit." Here the Master accords Him equal place, personality and honor.
The Holy Spirit has also been called the Revelator of Truth. 1 Corinthians
2:10-14 declares, "But unto us God revealed them to the Spirit; for the
Spirit searcheth all things, yea, even the deep things of God. For who among
men knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of the man, which is in him?
even so the things of God none knoweth, save the Spirit of God. Which things
also we speak, not in words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Spirit
teacheth, combining spiritual things with spiritual words. Now the natural
man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness
unto him; and he cannot know them, because they are spiritually understood."
This portion of Scripture clearly informs the Church that He is the Teacher,
totally cognizant of Dad's Mind, revealing His thoughts to the Children, in
full agreement with what Jesus said in John 16. There, the Holy Spirit's job
description is clearly defined. He is to convict the world of sin,
Righteousness (Christ's) and judgment, while guiding us into all truth. In
plain terms, our Standby possesses and reveals the blueprint, as we practice
His Presence. He holds back the powers of darkness, recreating Members of the
Family, ongoingly instructing, comforting and indwelling each Child.
What is the progression of His activity? First, the Holy Spirit is the
Convictor of the world. He does this through a preached and Living
Epistle...the Christian, as well as the written Word. His real home is the
heart of God's Children.
Why does He first come into our bodies? There are numerous reasons. Initially,
an empowerment for service transpires. Each cell in that earthen container
becomes quickened, made alive and whole by the excellency of Heaven's Power.
As mentioned previously, and this needs to be fully understood, the Holy
Spirit's intentions are to guide and comfort. Additionally, as a result of
His influence, we become more like Jesus in character and deed, transformed
into His likeness, from Glory to Glory...one level of Unction to another, a
promotion, if you will. At that juncture, you and I are impacting this
planet with Dad's sufficiency, always having more than enough, whatever is
required to meet humanity's needs.
Even as He puts these words together, there is an internal stirring, a
knowledge that something within the spectacular spectrum is about to invade
this celestial location. We must be fully yielded and ready to catch Dad's
Wave of the miraculous.
I envision a molding on the potter's wheel, a preparation to do business in
deep waters for the Kingdom. The old is about to make way for the new. Those
symptoms and circumstances will soon be history. You are taking on a new Name
and identity, a confession that articulates and demonstrates His
mandate..."To live is Christ!" Go forth, Beloved! Fear not! You have been
sent by the Mighty General and are more than a conqueror!
