Ministry of Miracles

From the Desk of Doctor Paul ...


The Secret Place!


"See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a new way in the desert and streams in the wasteland." Isaiah 43:19

"The people were all so amazed that they asked each other, 'What is this? A new teaching...and with authority! He even gives orders to evil spirits and they obey him.'" Mark 1:27

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come. All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God." 2 Corinthians 5:17-20

"Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed." Isaiah 53:4-5

"Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke? Is it not to share your food with the hungry and provide the poor wanderer with shelter...when you see the naked, to clothe him, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood (family...Brothers and Sisters in Christ)? Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard. Then you will call, and the Lord will answer; you will cry for help, and he will say: Here I am." Isaiah 58:6-9

The earth yearns and travails for nothing more than a manifestation of Heaven's Glory. Through whom will that conduiting be accomplished? The answer can readily be found in the Word. God's Sons and Daughters, the Family, now possess the keys to hell and death, inclusive of all authority, inherent and available through the finished work of Christ.

Give this some thought. What gains immediate attention and returns one back to center, while promoting somber contemplation? Tragedies, such as accidents, illnesses, suicides, losses, crimes, tornados, hurricanes, negativity and oppression of all forms...Hell's signs and wonders, accomplish that quite well. When news of such is received, life stands still for its victims. Nothing else matters. Deep contemplation ensues.

Wealth and riches can only accomplish so much, and really don't matter at that point. Magical and mythical thinking carries one so far, but we are dealing with feelings here. Satan's devices level that proverbial playing field, don't they? Pain is pain, for the young, old, rich and poor. It's the great equalizer, where the rubber meets the road.

Nothing on this planet gains our attention more rapidly than hurting people. If the adversary, in unquestionable insensitivity and meanness, confusion and incompetency of character, can infuse God's creation with fright, depression, anxiety, hopelessness and despair, consider the absolute potential and effectiveness of God's miraculous!

Jesus clearly stirred multitudes by healing the sick, raising the dead, casting out devils, and performing exploits that couldn't possibly be chronicled in the grandest of libraries. The Master was a Spiritual Tornado, committed to His call and perpetually led by the Wind of His Father's will, into the highways and byways of suffering and demonic exploitation. Our redeemer had become both effective and successful to a point where the "religious folk" of that era held special meetings, seeking ways of stopping Glory's Expression. Their best efforts were the cross and grave. Both grossly failed. Today, for the Christian, the fruits of His obedience resoundingly represent victory and Power in both life and ministry.

The Son couldn't be stopped then. Neither can He, nor We, now! In response to hell's best shot, the dead were brought back to life again, and presented to their respective families. Recipients of healing, untold numbers of them, assumed new lives that could only be realized through the anointed touch of the Sent One.

I often thrill at the thought of Christ's impact on people, as they intersected with an Entity that clearly and aggressively overrode Satan's most sophisticated schemes. The end result? Scores ultimately received the King of Kings as Lord and Savior, responding to that gifting from Heaven's Treasury. Nothing has changed, today. The Church is commissioned and equipped to manifest that in the now. In fact, the Lamb's Blood has forever broken hell's influence over Heaven's Army. Legally, we are more than conquerors!

Signs and wonders attest to God's love and authority over darkness, while underscoring the Word's credibility and efficacy. In forthcoming days, the Holy Spirit, unveiling the unlimited power and authority of the Believer, has planned specially epiphanies, from which the revelatory will flow into the driest of regions, like Rivers of Living Water. We are surely reaching a point where no pronouncement from that inner-quickening will be void of the Power necessary for bringing itself to pass. Within the next eighteen-months, this certain word of prophecy will materialize and translate into fruits of righteousness, foundational for winning entire nations to Christ.

Are you ready for more good news? Apostles, Evangelists, and other willing and obedient Vessels, will follow that constant and consistent Pillar of Cloud and Fire into nations, cities, towns, and yes, even marketplaces, impacting vast populations, not unlike what transpired around Charles Finney's journeys, when barrooms and houses of ill-repute permanently closed under the impact of God's Glory. You see, it's not merely about conviction, but the anointing, or Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus, offering and displaying more than what those precious people previously had. As spiritual cataracts fell from their eyes, they eagerly transitioned into the Supernatural!

I want you to understand this about sin. Most individuals don't wake up every morning, contemplating new ways of making God miserable. Few of us shake our fists in His face, hoping to provoke anger, or abort Glory's blueprint. Without Jesus, we can't be like Him. The indwelling Holy Spirit Personally facilitates the growth process of holiness and sanctification. This is usually not an overnight ordeal. The progression is well portrayed in the Word..."First the blade, then the ear, followed by the corn in that ear."

Let's look toward the psychological realm for a good analogy. Anorexia and other eating disorders are not at all about food, but feelings...emotional pain, repressed thoughts and perceptions, and an absence of empowerment. Man's sins fall into a similar category of expression, in that tormenting voids and inexplicable pain scream for amelioration. In plain terms, the oppressed reach a point where they can't stand their situations any longer and seek relief of any kind, regardless of cost or nature. Objectivity and reason are replaced by impulse, as the walking wounded frequently hurt others, themselves included, in the identical way they were previously afflicted. Their goal has always been a quest for immediate relief of the intolerable. Often that presents as an expression of internalized or externalized anger, unwise choices, a secondary expression of a primary cause. Nothing short of appropriating Heaven's Covenant with man, an application of the Lamb's Blood, will scratch that itch.

Dopamine and adrenaline fixes are readily available in the form or food, gambling, sex, emotionally-led relationships, materialism and other impulsive tendencies. So, we head for that quick, albeit temporary cure, only to find ourselves disappointingly hurting again. The cycle is vicious, wearing and perpetual.

Heaven's perception of sin is "missing the mark," taking a wrong turn, sidestepping destiny's path, distancing oneself from the good and perfect. God refuses to fall off His Throne when we imprudently react to pain, or head in a contrary direction. Instead, He swiftly abounds toward us with remedy, grace, goodness, mercy, and Glory's mountain-moving Supernatural.

The Father of an injured child would move Heaven and earth to provide relief and cure. Glory's first response to a human tear is compassion, followed by a dispatching of the wherewithal necessary for complete eradication of hurt and a facilitation of soundness. A recognition of redemption and identity, the fact that we are His, supercede any iniquity.

The Almighty undoubtedly has considerably more medicine than man's highest level of discomfort or oppression. Thus, where sin abounds, grace is swiftly dispatched in greater abundance. We have a Father Who is void of judgement or ridicule when it comes to His Little Ones. He is intent on transferring the remedial. It's sort of like fighting fire (our sorrows and infirmities) with Fire (the completed work of Christ)! I picture God's retort as having little grace legs, the very Balm of Gilead, propelling themselves in the direction of darkness and woundedness, comprehensively approaching and entering a myriad of venues, be they spiritual, physical, psychological or provisional.

As the Church, we are not to pass judgement on people. To the contrary, the Church has been launched to pray for and serve them. We are that Spout where the never ending flow of Glory comes out. God's people must champion a Covenant of restoration and reconciliation. Shaming and blaming are never used by the Third Person of the Trinity. Neither do they have any place in our household.

The Standby sees us as the righteousness of God in Christ. Instead of meting out a destructive modality, the Spirit quickens God's Word, Heaven's irrefutable answer for that which stands in the way of destiny's call. You and I have become diplomatic Ambassadors of Life, encouragement, direction and hope, Living Epistles, known and read by this entire world. That message has to be clear. Never let your tongue speak anything short of the Covenant's Oracles!

Toward that end, we have been called to Divine intimacy. Imagine! The saints of old could not and did not enjoy that degree of partnership and relationship with God. Our Savior was yet to come. Sin had indeed left a giant gulf between Heaven and earth. Man struggled with Hell's tug on a daily basis. Regardless, the Creator, yearning for fellowship and attachment to His Beloved, interacted and communicated with creation, as best He could.

God's limitations were obvious. The sin-issue muddied His original (Garden of Eden) plan of perfection. Nevertheless, provision was established for reconnecting with the Beloved. Even back then, intimacy narrowed the gap. Enoch walked within the Secret Place and discovered himself in another realm...Heaven. Elijah chose to do likewise. The fiery chariot was his taxi.

Twenty centuries ago, the barrier was lifted. You see, the Risen Christ has repositioned us in His Presence. We are with and in Him at both ends...Heaven and earth. The Redeemed are already seated together with Christ in Heavenly Places, as the Holy Spirit, no longer confined to an earthly Holy of Holies behind a rent curtain, has moved and currently resides within those for whom Glory's Son fully paid the sin bill on Calvary's hill.

Never limit your position in Christ! Why would God fashion man in His express likeness and image, without giving him the ability to perform Heaven's will, hit the mark, render accurate decisions and do what's right? Not only have we become the Lord's Vehicle, but our Fuel for forward movement is unlimited! He has been made unto us wisdom, knowledge and understanding. Those slats have been kicked from our box, while Heaven and earth merge and converge for a manifestation...Glory's response to what band-aids could never fix!

Once more, the Supernatural can be likened unto an artful masterpiece. It speaks volumes to all. Sometimes, the sound of silence does that. There is way too much noise and data out there, most of which has been masked out. Heaven plans on turning up the volume of Dad's heartbeat for unmatchable clarity!

In the miracle rallies, I regularly observe what the hand of God does for His people. Let me tell you, He can change an individual's life in a New York minute through Heaven's spillage. Among many, one young lady approached the auditorium's front with oil flowing from her hands. As those surrounding this teen swiped their fingers over this exuding entity, more would form and take its place. Few words were spoken. That experience delivered the Throne Room's Love Letter. That youngster was ignited for outreach! Nothing warms the heart more than a touch from Glory.

The Standby has prepared well for this moment. Let the revelatory flow!

Hell's Lie!

"You are unstoppable! Never forfeit that eternal truth. Whatever darkness might temporarily accomplish, the Glory will much more outdo. Man made bread that was miraculously multiplied before the eyes of thousands. All I need is a 'little' from you, what Heaven has deemed a seed of obedience, for a manifestation of abundance, a harvest of exponential and perpetual proportion, the likes of which lies far beyond and above what you are able to ask or think! Doesn't the Lord of Suddenlies specialize in shock and awe? As previously stated, Hell seems quite adept at gaining the world's attention through stealing, killing and destroying. That can't hold a candle to what's ahead. You have yet to witness the awesomeness of Glory's design for the nations. If Satan could have stopped anything at all, it would have been Christ's arrival, departure, and the subsequent salvation of each soul. We'll talk more about that later. Thought should be given to those trials in life, what most would label as malicious, unnecessary harassment. However, Heaven has a prophetic relabeling of those testings, what is common unto man. Reframe and restructure! One man's dirt is another's fertilizer! Hear this well. The opposer has no business in Our walk and ministry. His access to the Children is denied from both ends. The Voice of the Word in the mouth of each Believer forever settles any given situation or circumstance. Time spent in the Book is foundational and rudimentary to hearing and having, an intimacy that will translate into a confidence of call and movement. Uncertainly has always been a symptom of dissociation from the Secret Place, a locale approached by way of maintaining Divine Appointments and prioritizing each day, disciplining oneself to seasons in the Word, which triggers the revelatory, a prerequisite to signs and wonders. Lay aside cares and the deceitfulness of influence, whatever sidetracks and sways attention from the Light of each moment. There is a 'perfect will' for every second of the day. Living from event to event, don't think of time in terms of segments, but moments. Have your being in the present. Now is the acceptable time of salvation. I Am a God of the 'moment' and 'next.' No boredom exists in My economy. In forthcoming days, you will find yourself relying more upon the unseen, than the tangible and palpable. The Believer should not be moved by what he witnesses in the deceptive and stagnant sense realm, but by those inner nudgings and promptings. Peace is to be his guide. Dissatisfaction suggests and remains a major indicator of change, a motivator of forward movement, evidence that the Church is walking in a progressive Glory to Glory journey of the unprecedented. Doubt your doubts, and believe those beliefs. Bring all thoughts into captivity. Run everything by the Spirit, as He directs the Body around land minds of destruction, toward trip wires of the miraculous. Openly speak of Heaven's will. The fertilizer of adversity, that contrariness, will invigorate the sown seed, words spoke to death itself. Count persecution as joy! Your garden has been planted and fertilized, left in the care of the Master Gardener. The hand of Heaven is stretched over New Mexico and Southern California. Outbreaks and displays of Divine Presence are poised to confirm the prophetic and glorify Heaven's Son. Anticipate attention and favor, love packages from the Secret Place. The invisible will show up in the strangest and darkest of venues. Declare your hand as Mine. So shall it be, as ordained steps are taken along that cleared pathway of abundance and 'more!'"

A Personal Note From Doctor Paul

I want to personally thank those who have sown precious seed into this Ministry of the Miraculous. Our outreach is fertile ground. You have approached the Lord with a gift. Your reward will be equal to mine. In plain terms, partnership is a committed process of locking arms. Prayers and financial sacrifices have never gone unnoticed in God's Kingdom. Both allow me to take the Father's Word, signs and wonders to hurting people, those whose lives and eternal destinies depend upon this synergy. Without question, scores are on their way to Heaven, have been healed, thereby avoiding an early grave, because of Him and you. Thanks for that! Together, in total obedience, let's conduit Glory's Electricity, a creative presentation of God's love, to the four corners of this world. No gift is too small or big. He'll anoint every sown seed. In the meantime, expect Heaven to invade your life with Love Letters and a rich display of Covenant! For the ones called to sow:
