"And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord, in one place. And suddenly, there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing, mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues, like as of fire, and it sat on each of them." Acts 2:1-3
"And the Lord went before them by day in the pillar of cloud, to lead them along the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night." Exodus 13:21
"Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain, in the first month." Joel 2:23
"That ye may be the children of your Father, which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust." Matthew 5:45
How intriguing to recognize the transformation process of the Apostle Paul. This man, during those Saul of Tarsus days, believed He had honored God and was dutifully serving his government, as the soon-to-be Apostle incarcerated, tortured and killed up to five-thousand Believers. "I'm doing the Most High a valiant favor!"
Oh, what pain was inflicted at his hand, one that would soon bring the Old and New Testaments together, connecting those proverbial dots by penning the fullness of the Savior's finished work, while imparting a marvelous message from the Throne Room concerning the Children's identity and Spirit-led destiny.
Again, the horrible demise of many was realized at his hand. Yet, before that great Heavenly epiphany, Saul was convinced of his deceptive call. Cataracts of spiritual blindness obscured the soldier's Heavenly objectivity and sensitivity. Like many of us today, he became desensitized, a single degree at a time, in a boiling pot of confusion and religion, until that Divine appointment on the Damascus Road with the One Who had prompted Him from the beginning by a deep uneasiness and dissatisfaction of direction.
Christians back then were fervently praying, not only for their own relatives and friends, but, in addition, the Holy Spirit had given them a huge burden for Saul. Some had remarked, "If this persecutor were on our side, we'd have something going for the Kingdom!" Obviously, they were accorded Heavenly insight into their adversary's potential unction and certain destiny.
Can you imagine the inner-conflict of those Christians? A clear enemy of the Church, Paul, prior to conversion, was prophetically perceived through the eye of faith by the very individuals he had traumatized. Indeed, they were interceding for their greatest natural foe, seeing well beyond what was happening in the "now," overcoming evil with good, calling those things which be not as though they were until each became a reality, taking on tangibility and palpability. Thus, the Bride paved the way for God to deliver His Word to a world, hungering and thirsting for reality, a manifestation of the Sons and Daughters of Glory.
Christ had been crucified, descended into hell, led captivity captive, was raised from the dead, had presented His Blood to the Chief Justice of the Universe, and shown Himself to the disciples and a multitude of others. He challenged those present with the Great Commission...comprising those "greater works than these," ascended to a regal position at the right hand of the Father where He forever lives to make intercession for the Kids. Nevertheless, it wasn't until the Day of Pentecost that the Church was vitally brought together by the Promise, as the Holy Spirit sat upon the one-hundred-and-twenty in that Upper Room, igniting them with a Flaming Glory from the loins up and down, transforming each into a Towering Inferno of conviction, revelation and the miraculous. Yet, nothing added up until Peter and Paul intersected to compare notes and revelatory content. That day must have been unbelievably illuminating. Jesus' arrival, ministry, sacrifice and earthly departure blended well into a glorious message of salvation to the uttermost.
Sowing unto the Spirit on Paul's behalf reaped a fantastic harvest for the early followers of our Savior. On that road to Damascus, Saul ran into the Risen Christ and was recipient of insight that would ultimately lead to a revelation and consequent documentation of the New Testament...a Blood Covenant based upon better promises.
What if the Church had hated Saul and turned their proverbial backs on this chosen vessel, instead of yielding to that still, small Voice, preferring the revelatory instead of the accusatory? Bitterness was released in favor of love and the Father's perfect will.
Shortly thereafter, Paul deemed himself as chief of all sinners. That thorn in the flesh was undoubtedly a buffeting spirit from the pits of hell, likely sent to rub his nose into those gruesome deeds of the past, acts of atrocity and deep emotional trauma. Relatives and others whose beloved had been murdered and injured at Saul's discretion were now this servant's students and audience. Imagine how essential it was for them to walk in the Spirit and envision beyond negative memories, while appropriating the Mind of Christ on a moment by moment basis. In so doing, they honored the Risen Christ and this Apostle, who had become a new creation in and through the Son.
Once more, Paul went from a posture of chief sinner to "wronging no man!" How could he do that? The Word answers the query. "It is no longer I that live, but Christ Jesus in me!" A new identity arrived by way of unveiled truth. Toward that end, you and I are invited to use Paul and Jesus as our Role Models of recovery and discovery. Having become the righteousness of God through the Son, we are innocent. Who shall lay anything to the charge of the Lord's Elect? Sin-consciousness no longer legally rules in those choosing to abide in the Secret Place of the Most High. What belongs to the Sent One is ours. Outside of that, the contrary must return to its point of origin, including sickness, poverty, death, defeat and despair.
"Expectant Child, your faith, that which I've Personally implanted within
your spirit, was not instilled in vain. No word from Heaven's Headquarters is
void of the Power necessary for bringing itself to pass. Nudgings, promptings,
dreams and visions, have not been foolishly sown, as each Seed of revelatory
truth possesses its own unstoppable destiny. Every need attracts a Seed. Has
it not been written that you are carrying precious Kernels of promise, Life
and deliverance for those whose hearts cry out to Me day and night for a
manifestation of the Blood's perpetual articulation, a never-ending declaration
that Glory's will be accomplished on earth, exactly as it functions and
presents in My Presence. I declare to the Body of Christ a day of shifting gears
for 2006, an implosion of time and acceleration of eternal Outpouring...silver,
gold, the creative, new body parts and physical/emotional adjustments for
those requiring them, a move embracing Believers and unbelievers alike, since
the Word declares rain...the former and latter in a month's time, on the just
and unjust. You see, your God is the epitome of faith, the Author and
Creator of all that exists...atoms, molecules and cells, which gain their genesis
in a heart of completeness and perfection. I Am upholding all things by the
word of My Power. That which was made for Dad's Glory will be realigned and
repaired by the very Source of its primary origin. Hear Me well! This year will
be one of witnessing the enemy's backside, as he flees in direct response to
Heaven's onslaught in and through the Beloved while these blessings come upon
and overtake the overtaken. Is Satan a respecter of persons? Do disease,
death and poverty discriminate? Not at all. Contagion spreads mercilessly and
exponentially. Such is the case with the Glory. Observe, while spontaneous
signs, wonders and miracles explode to terrorize the master terrorist. To the
four corners of the earth will Heaven expose itself in a reversing of the
curse, an underscoring of what was completed and purchased on Calvary's Hill.
Additionally, Florida and California will be in the news as never before.
President Bush will shine before nations, in direct proportion to the obedience
underscoring his purpose and call. My Glory upon this chosen leader must manifest
according to his Lord's design. The White House is My house. As such, the
Throne declares and imparts wisdom, knowledge, understanding and healing for
those within it's confines. The national media won't be able to ignore the
proliferation of Life and resultant Supernatural Love associated with this move.
You have sown richly over the years in a variety of forms. Examine those
dispensed and dispersed Seeds. Where did they go? What was their intent and
purpose? An unprecedented harvest, triggered by unpredictable displays of Glory,
not unlike the dead exiting their graves on the day of the Redeemer's
crucifixion, will result, as an overflow and spillage move like a flood into the
highways and byways of this nation and beyond. Nothing and no one will be spared
the influence and impact of what I Am about to do. Once more, explosions of
manifestation have been poised for ignition by the Holy Spirit. The Word has
deemed the Family as Ministers of Fire, ablaze from the loins up and down,
Contagious Containers of the Great Commission and Covenant. Listen attentively!
Even the smallest suggestion from within must be meticulously and faithfully
followed. At the other end of each obedient step is a Supernatural
explosion. For every problem, there's a promise. All provisions have a purpose. Your
presence will materialize Mine in the darkest and most desolate of locales,
while the Kingdom and ministry move from the four walls of worship into
everyday, natural environments. Just as the Master went to His people, so are you to
be sent with the Glory. I've gone before Heaven's Army...time travel, and
can see what's already on the earthly plain of your journey. 2006 presents a
practical Bible that works in and for all...affording everything pertaining to
life and godliness. Vision and victory go hand in hand in what lies directly
ahead. The Bride will venture where She has never previously been. America's
enemies are destined for confusion, division and destruction. Removal will
arrive by way of the One from Whom humanity cannot hide, with nations cleared
for unparalleled freedom to preach, teach and display a Gospel that is yet to
be displayed in its totality. Rejoice in this certain word! Lay aside the
old. All is becoming new!"
