From the Desk of Doctor Paul ..."See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland." Isaiah 43:19
"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." Isaiah 58:8
"He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers..." Malachi 4:6
"Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received, freely give." Matthew 10:8
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" 2 Corinthians 5:17
The race has been on since the beginning of creation, one which involves two competitors or opponents...good and evil...a devil intent upon using people, then destroying them, a God Who ever lives for His Kids, while gently prompting, encouraging and promoting the Elect into the fullness of Covenant...green (Life-enriched) pastures, prosperity, still waters and destiny.
At times, it appears the Church is losing the battle. However, nothing could be more distant from the truth! Deferring to those long-awaited dreams and visions, one can readily tap into the Father's heart, His perfect will, what's directly ahead for the Bride and world. In reality, it isn't so much how the race is started or run, but completed. And He remains the Author and Finisher of our faith (the race)!
Are we truly measuring up to our rights and privileges in Christ? Is this all there is? Over a span of two-thousand years, Satan has been successful in embalming most of us in unbelief. Contemplate the life of Jesus, those hours after the crucifixion and resurrection. Within three days, humanity had virtually lost sight of everything He represented. Only when the Holy Spirit arrived in that upper room were they cognizant of what had really happened, the Gospel's intent, who each person had become in Him. Empowerment and boldness accompanied the revelation.
One of the greatest challenges back then was presenting the Gospel of Salvation. It was adamantly opposed. The Master, during three-and-a-half years of prolific ministry was misunderstood, criticized and ultimately hung on a cross. In plain terms, they didn't get it! On the other hand, healing the sick, raising the dead and casting out demons were the norm, rarely resisted by believers and unbelievers. Ponder what it must have been like as the deceased were raised, possibly on a daily basis. Healings and deliverances were prolific. The miraculous was commonplace.
In this day and age, just the opposite is true. For the most part, we have little difficulty with the New Birth, but stumble when it comes to those "greater works." Billy Graham and others, clearly anointed of God, have been richly used in presenting the redemptive plan of Salvation. People listen to their messages. And since faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word, scores accept the content of what they have to say, and become born-again. That, indeed, is irrefutably God's grandest miracle of all...the salvation of a single soul. Yet, few are fully preaching the Word with the miraculous, while embracing the Great Commission.
Rarely is there a sermon on literally raising the dead or casting out demons. Signs and wonders are either nonexistent or feared. Nevertheless, Children are being released from caves and the backside of that proverbial desert to go about the Father's business with an unprecedented, unparalleled and unpredictable Unction from the Sender, boldly declaring (preaching) what they have heard in their trying periods of seclusion and isolation, freely giving away that which was liberally imparted to them from the Throne Room. And while each speaks of respective dreams and visions, the hand of the Lord is poised to move, confirming the Word with tangibility. In simple terms, winning the lost, speaking life into breathless bodies and setting at liberty all bruised of the enemy are about to become the norm. Consequently, this earth will be filled with a knowledge of Papa's Glory. He will become the talk of the town. Instead of refusing to broadcast and print Heaven's supernatural, reporters will be running in circles, tripping over feet in hopes of capturing accounts of the Outpouring...yes, even the joyous emptying of caskets, medical centers and mental institutions.
This New Year's Eve, while waiting on the Father's Public Relations Agent, much was shared concerning 2001!
"Dear Children, it's time to let the thief steal no more. Restoration,
reconciliation, Heavenly visitations, signs, wonders, miracles, clarity of
vision, attention and favor adequately summarize the end result of My
intentions for 2001. Even though you may have thought that I was idly
standing by, accepting Satan's performance of his ministry... killing,
robbing and destroying, Seeds of Life, originating from the Throne, were
being sown into hearts and the earth, impregnating both with the
Plan...anticipation of the previously impossible! Each Grain of truth is
presently placing a demand on the ground for Covenant manifestation and
fruition. Are you ready for specifics? First of all, operating in that former
mindset is out of the question. The old has surely given way to the new.
Therefore, a renewing of intent and perception must follow. Just as what is
witnessed with the naked eye originates in the unseen realm, a birthing of
long-awaited dreams and visions will require less gestation (waiting) than
before. Listen carefully! Speak...yes, boldly declare what has been, and will
be, revealed to you during our conversations in that Secret Place. The having
will assuredly come in the saying. Clearly the Word indicates the Master
placed more emphasis on confession than possession, since the former
ultimately and automatically produces the latter. Beginning this year, there
will be a proliferation of angelic encounters. Their sole purpose is to
minister on behalf of those who are heirs to salvation...protecting, guiding,
providing and encouraging. Emotional pains from former days must be
eradicated by the Holy Spirit, establishing a clean slate for the Master
Artist. Also, Jesus will appear unto your joy, in many forms. In fact, He
will richly inhabit (live in) those praises. The prophetic will gain
ascendency and take on ever greater significance. In terms of signs and
wonders, both will be internal, as well as external. More insight is on its
way concerning the excellency of that Power within. Long-awaited healings
will suddenly be realized as the Glory Cloud virtually fills churches and
auditoriums, from which, occasionally, the very Fragrance of the
Sender...Dad's Cologne, will emanate. A Shining of the Bride will continue to
gain ascendency, physically and spiritually. There will be periods when Gold
Dust totally covers bodies, falling from hair and developing on surrounding
surfaces. The creative is also part of the plan..new body parts, limbs where
there were none, the very contents of this side (Heaven) being extracted to
your location...gems, silver, gold, oil, an ability to more keenly hear My
Voice. I need you to know that those prayers, your intercession, have truly
created a vacuum, constantly drawing Heaven's intent and content into your
realm. God's will is to be done on earth, just as it is in this locale!
Translation and raising the dead are part of this whole picture. Before
returning for the Church, Christ, indeed, will be known as the Great
Resurrection. This is a year to love all enemies. Then watch Me promote
peace. Trinity Broadcasting Network will be vindicated in many ways,
continuing and expanding upon its marvelous work, venturing more into the
production of major motion pictures, while enjoying favor with national
networks, governmental leaders, including America's, and most importantly,
sinners. Papa has notations on His calendar to visit with Paul and Jan
Crouch, unveiling new and unusual ways of reaching the previously
unreachable. I have anointed the equipment to carry 'live,' on-the-spot
miracles! Know that! Exponentially, the Network will see a tremendous
increase of souls coming into the Kingdom. Both financial and intercessory
support will be profound. This is their hour to glow! The Almighty's hand is
solidly upon President Bush. Even though Cabinet posts and legislation will
be initially resisted, no demon in hell can stay the blueprint for this
administration, which will open its arms to the Gospel and all people,
particularly the hurting. Compassion for life will be abundantly evident.
Even though the entire nation is gearing up for a Contagion of the
miraculous, Southern California, Colorado, Texas, Illinois, Massachusetts,
Virginia and Washington, D. C., have been reserved as 'hot spots' for
Outpouring. Earth tremors will increase in Los Angeles and Orange Counties.
But fear not! All is under control. Accept the shifting as a sign post of
Holy Spirit activity! The media, by 2002, will be tripping over itself,
attempting to keep up with reports of the Glory. No longer can this movement
be denied and buried! Children will lead the Army, venturing into Medical
Centers and morgues, plundering each, just before that special day arrives.
Satan is to be exposed, publicly humiliated and defeated. Once more, love
will activate God's hand. The total Commission must be preached with
financial breakthroughs and freedom, liberating the obedient. Church
attendance will climb, as Corporate Anointings turn whole regions upside
down. Relax! Fix those eyes upon Me. Don't strain! I will accomplish this
performance!"
