One of the commands Dad accorded this Servant was to ignite Spiritual
Fires...Heavenly Contagion, imparted to ongoingly perpetuate long after the
great Miracle Rallies close. A pronouncement is usually made, challenging
pastors and others in attendance, to take this bestowed Unction into the
community as a witness of how Papa actually feels about the Kids, that He is
alive and well, simply yearning to manifest Himself through "many signs and
wonders." Well, He has been true to both the command and revelation.
Marion Clegg, a faithful Vessel who was present during our recent Crusade at
Healing Streams Church of God, Wolcott, Vermont, shares some wonderful news.
In essence, the heaviness of His Presence still abides!
"Dr. Gervais, I was so blessed last night. While walking through the doorway
of our church in Wolcott, Pastor Leona Stevens called me to stop! Looking
down at the floor, our eyes noticed that the carpet was sparkling. Glory Dust
was all over the place! In the main section of the building, there were
silver, gold, red and green flakes everywhere. We were going around with
scotch tape, picking up pieces. John came across one fairly large particle
in the shape of a star. It was just awesome! The Fallout continued Sunday,
while services were being conducted. Pastor also told me that the wheels of
Jacentha's wheelchair were covered with Gold dust, and flakes were all over
her home, as well. At the Rally here, the Lord prophetically related, through
you, that she possessed a tremendous anointing. I spoke to the lady whose
daughter was suffering from a broken collar bone. The girl had lost a
filling, but the Grand Designer replaced the hole with a new tooth! There is
no cavity there, now! Pastor Roger Couture's Gold fillings (from your
meeting) have darkened in color (more brilliant). They presently cover his
entire tooth! Pastor Stevens just related that Bonnie, from Canada, who also
attended your meetings, had spent a thousand-dollars to have all fillings
removed and replaced with porcelain. The Holy Spirit then reversed the
process! She is walking around with silver etchings, a gift from her Heavenly
Father. If Bonnie had waited a while longer, money could have been saved,
since the Master Dentist chose to perform the procedure without charge,
another act of love! The Lord is still a miracle working Creator, even after
the Rally ends. It is so wonderful that our Heavenly Father will take time to
look down on a little town and release love upon the faithful souls that
desire to seek His face. He is awesome and wants us to have all He possesses!"

What a marvelous Revelator the Holy Spirit is! Without Him, the Word could
never possibly come alive. And He has been doing His job really well, since
arriving in that upper room, two-thousand years ago.
While on one of my nightly walks, I was nudged to ponder that Scripture where
the Master indicated He had no place to lay His head. Historical records
appear to indicate that Jesus owned a physical home. However, during those
numerous ventures of ministry, in obedience to Dad's nudgings and promptings,
our Savior would often have to settle for whatever was available, even the
surrounding natural environment, for food and rest. Contemplate what possibly
went through that compassionate mind, as He admired the trees, those stars,
all made by His creative hands. In fact, the Obedient One was likely
pondering your very destiny!
The Word clearly declares that the Church is Christ's Body. We are Branches
of the Vine, the latter being Him. The life of that Vine richly flows into,
and through, each Branch, ultimately producing fruit...healing, health,
prosperity, empowerment for service, unconditional love, the gifts and fruit
of the Spirit. As we yield to Covenant and practice intimacy with Dad, a
transformation process ensues. Each Believer is transformed into the Son's
image, from Glory to Glory.
Again, I marvel at how the Trinity's Power Agent can breathe the very Essence
and Nature of the Father into that which has been written (the Word), while
impregnating the Kid's with revelation after revelation, all leading to a
supernatural destiny, when meticulously followed.
Let's return to that stroll around the neighborhood. This is what He said.
"Paul, Christ is still looking for a place to lay (rest) His head, desiring
so much to impart wisdom, knowledge, effectiveness, Heaven's blueprint, in
fact, all of the Master's attributes, since the Beloved are, indeed,
Joint-Heirs with Him."
That just blew me away. Jesus actually yearns to rest His head (Mind) on our
shoulders! Why is that? The answer is profoundly simple. If we are to vitally
rule and reign with Him, there must be a renewing of the mind. And the best
way to accomplish that is to recognize, honor and yield to Christ as the
Head, admitting that a natural mentality will never be able to comprehend the
spiritual. Our worldly way of thinking profits little. In addition, the flesh
doesn't have anything to offer but its own narcissistic demands.
We are talking about a death process here. And frankly, dying kind of hurts.
But in order to assume that higher Life in Him, total commitment and
surrender are mandatory.
As for me, spiritual decapitation will no longer do. Return my Head, Papa!
Consequently, defeat, despair, despondency, apathy, complacency and
depression must yield to vision, destiny and Power. The Body can now safely
declare, "No longer do I live, but Christ Jesus in me, the hope [revelation)
of His Glory!"
Let's take a journey together into the Throne Room, as the Grand Designer
puts the finishing touches on His Word.
"To walk in the flesh is a struggle. Those who choose to follow Me enjoy a
flow that the world cannot experience. Precious Child, hell was never created
for humans. Neither are My Children to be negatively impacted in any
region...spirit, soul, body, finances and destiny, by the wiles of the enemy.
Remember, when I said, Satan has nothing in Kids belonging to this family?
Meditate on those liberating words! Does that not mean total freedom from the
cares of this world and deceitfulness of riches, an always having posture of
sufficiency? Fear is the direct opposite of faith. In fact, faith
(revelation) filled declarations dominate the law of sin and death. When one
selects the pathway of anxiety and strife, joy and peace are forfeited. The
Body is only as well as its head. Who is on your throne? There is only room
for One. Church, you have been called to greatness...Mine! No longer your
own, I am personally Covenanted with each Cell, positioned to impart the very
contents of Heaven and the Contract it firmly supports...from thoughts to
actions. Your greatest potential ability is fellowshipping Me and being a
direct Conduit of Dad's intention...a Delivery System of the miraculous, thus
fulfilling My dream of plundering hell through a manifestation of the Sons
and Daughters. Specifically, I am referring to a transition, translation and
transference of the Plan...'Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven,' a
place where Papa's thought becomes your next act and the world's resulting
fact! Scores, comprising the Bride, fail to personally know Me. Christ has
become Savior, but not Lord. This planet must be told that Christianity is
not a religion, but a relationship with a Creator who virtually lives to
bless His people. Put on the Mind of Christ. Give Me a place to rest My head.
There is much to be accomplished in so little time. You are more than a
conqueror. The Blood will back each ordained step. Recognize your
completeness in Him. Cast down vain imaginations, every high thought
attempting to exalt itself against all knowledge of Me. Give no place to the
flesh or enemy. Both are determined to misguide. Instead, acknowledge your
position and identity in the Savior. Let the peace of God be the umpire
(director...deciding factor) of that heart. Go with the flow. Avoid conflict,
struggle and contention. Above all, relax! I am in total control. We will
take this land together and have lots of fun in the process!"
