From the Desk of Doctor Paul ...
Prophetic Eyes!
The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy
whole body shall be full of light (revelation knowledge)." Matthew 6:22
"The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, searching all the inward parts
of the belly." Proverbs 20:27
"For the Lord God will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded:
therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I will know that I shall not
be ashamed." Isaiah 50:7

We live in a world where people are richly dominated by their senses, via
tasting, seeing, hearing, feeling and smelling. Have you ever contemplated
the fact that most of us are often deceived when trusting physical
perceptions, since rarely are things as they appear?
One might exclaim, "Seeing is believing!" Well, to some extent that's true.
However, in God's upside-down, more accurate system, the opposite maintains
greater validity. Believing is seeing, a place where the Kids call those
things that be not as though they were, until each becomes.
Remember...the Word became flesh and dwelt among men. Which came first? The
answer to that question is clear...the Word, that which the Father perceived
and embraced on the inside. At a specific point He spoke, and substance was
added to vision.
Destiny makes itself known through dreams and visions. I cannot adequately
emphasize the importance of trusting that peaceful stirring within the
spirit, those nudgings and promptings from the Throne Room. Quite often, the
"knowing" is accompanied by a gift of faith for what Papa has revealed. The
realness of that hope (blueprint of faith...the end product) becomes more
potent than the seen, or temporal, causing the latter to pale by comparison.
We actually learn to walk in the realm of vision, embracing, gestating and
birthing those rich promises.
Think of each rhema, or revelation, as a Seed from Heaven, implanted within
your womb to bear fruit. What does the New Testament say about that
impartation? Immediately, not in a day or two, but right away, the enemy
comes to rob the Baby, if you will. How does he do that? The cares of this
world (what individuals generally care, worry and obsess about), along with
the deceitfulness of riches (not having enough, possessing too much, saluting
flesh through the influence of the influential) are tools of his trade.
I often reflect upon what the Spirit once shared..."Paul, Jesus will
initially arrive in Presence, then Person." In simple terms, this world will
be full of knowledge, pertaining to His Glory, before our Savior transports
the Bride in His Clouds of Condensation...manifestation, those "greater works
than these."
Each hour is loaded with opportunities to lose focus. Cultivating vertical
intimacy with Dad remains paramount. Even the best of the best will be
deceived in these final days, without that orientation. However, he who
dwells in that Secret Place will surely receive unconditional love,
revelation, as well as strategy for destiny, protection and empowerment.
The Christian's job is to maintain simplicity by being true to the vision,
while not disobeying, or venturing beyond, that Anointing. The precious Holy
Spirit has a job to do, as He takes hold together with us in everything
pertaining to life and godliness. Each eye must perpetually be on Him...the
Author and Finisher of faith, as the Church fulfills Her mandate of making
disciples of all men, restoring and reconciling what was originally lost
during the fall.
Of utmost importance is walking in love...Father's! Faith works that way. And
His affection never fails. Contemplate this fact every moment of the day.
During His ministry here, Jesus would first catch the fish before cleaning
them. Nothing has changed. We must do the same by loving each sinner,
recognizing the Holy Spirit's responsibility of transformation, changing
those dirty diapers, assisting each Infant in a straightening up of his
act...that Glory to Glory process.
Signs and wonders are the dinner bell of the Holy Spirit. They are His bait,
so to speak. The Fragrance of God's love invariably draws multitudes into the
Kingdom's Restaurant of satiation, where a table has been set in the presence
of enemies to counter captivity in all departments...from healing to
provision!
I discern the Revelator has more to say about this matter.
Valley Of Decision!
"Beloved, salvation for spirit, soul, body, finances...total prosperity, will
be made so simple and clear for everyone in these days of revelation and
manifestation. Satan has been permitted to confuse and muddy the waters for
too long. Please know, I have personally drawn a line in the sand through a
revelation in you, that vision within, those bowels of compassion, a place
where, together, We will permit him to steal no longer. As with that well
known woman suffering from an issue of blood, your obedience places a demand
on My virtue and ability. Indeed, even as I speak, your intercessory prayers
and acts are drawing from Papa's reservoir. Reflect on the value of signs and
wonders emanating from a mindset of alleviating the byproducts (consequences)
of sin...sickness, suffering, poverty and death. In terms of souls, how many
would gladly enter the Kingdom, once My true heart and nature were revealed?
May I use a visual and practical example? Walk into a funeral home. Speak to
that little one in the casket, as directed by Me. When, not if, she arises, a
multitude of previously silent questions will be answered. Think of the
people who will gladly flow into Dad's House through that act (Book of Acts)
of love! As someone once said, 'Actions speak louder than words.' I fully
agree! In former days, many were added, Churchwise, in direct response to a
miracle. You see, it isn't so much the signs and wonders, although fully
preaching the Gospel and being approved of God assuredly involve them, but
that open display of truth...what really is going on in Dad's thoughts, that
counts. More lies have been believed about Me, than you! But did I not
promise vindication of the Youngsters and the Word in them? As the record is
set straight, spiritual cataracts and, in some cases, total blindness will be
remedied. Occupants of this planet must become aquatinted with their God's
heart and posture, as I am known in the Throne Room. Those in the Valley of
Decision are to be enlightened and cross over into the Land of Promise. No
excuse for unbelief will stand, since the upcoming harvest is not only
great...prolific in the miraculous, but will be loaded with former skeptics!
Let My Glory do the job! Goodness and mercy, Heaven's Twins, will follow you
throughout that ministry. Use them as lethal weapons against the adversary!"
High Tide!
"The flood is approaching! Build that ark, Beloved! Let the critics taunt and
laugh. Nevertheless, you are walking to the beat of a different Drummer,
poised to do great business in a world that needs love in so many
ways...word, thought and deed. Just as the first man...Adam, was put to
sleep by the Creator for a work of the miraculous, Jesus went through a
similar process in the tomb, an experience which resulted in a mighty
manifestation of resurrection on that third day. Such is the case with you,
Dear One. During each lull, those quiet, seemingly unproductive periods, a
preparation was taking place. The Sleeping Giant remains poised to arise in
the Cloud of My Presence, where signs and wonders will be secondary to the
Glory, a position of absolute revelation concerning Dad's love, destiny for
each life, those rights and privileges in Our Covenant. The hour is quickly
approaching when humanity will fall on their faces before Me, even in the
strangest of places. In fact, that is precisely where I will move first...the
dark regions where My Word has been dormant and ineffective. During that
moment, spiritual cataracts will yield to a proliferation of Light and Life,
while people behold the Author and Finisher of their faith, a first time
encounter for many. And with that wonderful unveiling of the Contract will
arrive instant healing, empowerment, prosperity, a supernatural knowing of
who the Children are in Christ. Precious Bride, health and sufficiency are
only a small part of what the Blood has provided. They are to be automatic,
with no exclusions or exceptions. Much of what the Church has been seeking in
prayer belongs to Her already (Covenant). This unprecedented Army will be
catapulted to the four corners of the earth with a single eye...that of
reconciling, restoring, setting the captive free and possessing the land.
Rejoice in Our third (resurrection) day! Nothing, and no one, will ever be
the same. A new level of worship and praise has already begun impacting the
Youngsters, one in which God's habitation is experientially visible in
numerous forms...pillars of Smoke, Fire and creative acts from the Throne.
There won't be a spot on this planet that is absent of Papa's Essence and
Nature. Just as the Spirit brooded over an earth that was void and without
form, so will He do that again...from cemetery to seminary! The spoken dream
or vision, that acted upon internal stirring, in many instances, will result
in an immediate display of tangibility. Understand, patient Intercessor, no
moment has been lost in that season of patience. Again, the Agent of form and
substance is at the starting line, excitedly anticipating an onslaught of
activity that will turn nations around in a day. Your hour has come!
Impossible has no place in this Commander's vocabulary. Heaven's Delivery
Room eagerly anticipates an unparalleled arrival of Youngsters! Strictly
adhere to, and depend upon, the Covenant, Anointing and Glory. No man knows
the exact hour. However, Papa has ordained you to recognize the season. The
Tide is approaching! Nothing can prevent this move. Prepare to launch out
into the depths of that sustained call, and do business in deep waters where
the most fish reside...yes, even the big ones! The sunny beach (comfort zone)
will no longer be peaceful and fulfilling in these marvelous days of newness.
Sense that dissatisfaction. It is assuredly from Me. Therein lies the
substance of vision and Creation's grand finale!"
