From the Desk of Doctor Paul ...
Overwhelming Love!
"I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of
every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life."
Genesis 9:15
"The law was added so that the trespass might increase. But where sin
increased, grace increased all the more, so that, just as sin reigned in
death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life
through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 5:20-21
"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?" Romans 8:35
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is
not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered,
it keeps no record of wrongs." 1 Corinthians 13:4-5
China Prophecy
April 8, 2001
Without question, the government of all nations is upon His shoulders! And
the Almighty has given us a prophetic Unction, a license to call those things
which be not as though they were, until each becomes. The Father does nothing
without first relating the Kingdom's will to His servants, the prophets. Why?
Because we are the Voice of God's Word, unto which angel forces hearken to
obey.
Sunday afternoon, He spoke again, and this Servant subsequently relayed Dad's
message to President Bush. Its content was simple, but vital. "The China
situation (detained American soldiers) will be resolved by Wednesday! Forward
that to Washington immediately." The Great General was in full control. I
could also perceive angelic forces being dispatched to Chinese dignitaries.
As of Tuesday evening, both the President and Cabinet anticipated a
protracted diplomatic process. Wednesday morning, April 11th, the Lord
miraculously moved on adamant officials, softening their hearts. Our men and
women were consequently released and swiftly transported home!
Oh, how we need to maintain that prophetic line! So much depends upon hearing
and articulating messages from the Throne Room. In the face of darkness, the
Believer conduits Dad's will on earth, just as it is in Heaven!
"That child can do no wrong!" How often have we heard a proud parent make
such a statement, even in light of contrary behavior? Within the nursery, no
ugly babies reside, at least in the eyes of their parents. There's just
something about love that is oblivious to negativity.
Why do people sin and miss that proverbial mark? Most of us don't wake up
each morning, thinking of creative ways to make God miserable. Often, what we
don't want to do ends up happening, regardless. Jesus said, "When, not if,
but when you sin, I am your advocate." He was addressing the Church!
Iniquity entered this world at the fall of man. Psychologically, just about
all of us suffer from a love deficit. Accompanying that is Satanically
promoted sin-consciousness, which generates even more pain. Unfortunately,
without Christ and a renewed mind, humanity heads for its temporary
painkiller. Compulsions, addictions and other sins numb the discomfort
associated with hopelessness, rejection, a lack of vision and destiny. The
enemy is then able to further accuse and cause his victim to plunge into
deeper guilt, shame and despair.
Only the Heavenly Father can heal internal wounds, those agonizing shreds,
while instilling an absolute certainty that, in and through Christ, the
Believer has become His righteousness. Where sin abounds, grace much more
gains ascendency. Father's Glory to Glory process transforms us into the very
image of His Son. This arrives by way of the Holy Spirit, not might or power.
The arm of flesh will invariably fail. Trying to "be good" just won't work,
unless the Author and Finisher of faith is with us on that journey.
Contemplate those times during the ministry of Jesus, when Love, Himself,
encountered the wages of sin. In blindness and death, His declaration was,
"This is but for the Glory of God." In other words, our Savior was saying
that the fiery darts of Satan were no match for His manifest Presence.
Even today, sin doesn't shake up the Grand Lover. As imparted so often, He
has more Medicine than any earthly pain. There's no shortage of Healing Balm
from Dad's vantage point. He wants us prosperous in all pertaining to life
and godliness.
Remember that vintage commercial of a man and women running toward each other
in slow motion on a beach? That's precisely what happens when you and I
transgress. Papa abounds (runs) in the direction of our pain. He is intent
upon mending the underlying causation, rather than pronouncing judgment at
odds with that marvelous Blood-backed Covenant, which forever exclaims our
innocence on the Mercy Seat in the Heavenly Holy of Holies. What does it
shout in the face of the accuser? "My Kid can do no wrong! Jesus paid the
price and sealed the deal, once and for all! So devil...shut up!"
Beloved, listen to that Blood, twenty-four hours a day. It will never make
you feel badly or bring a tear to your eye. Emanating from it's flow are
identity, revelational knowledge, destiny, empowerment, peace and joy.
Any half-decent emergency room is intent upon facilitating wholeness in all
who venture through its doors, regardless of how helpless and hopeless cases
might appear. Get them up and out! That's their motto! Even pharmacies refuse
discrimination and operate by the book in disseminating what's necessary to
cure the infirmed. Would Love Personified maintain a standard that, by
comparison, might present itself as inferior to that which He accorded the
world, one that works for the most blatant sinner? Absolutely not! Medication
attacks darkness in all vessels, including the vilest person. Discern
Heaven's Glory richly flowing on the inside, bathing each pore and making
everything new. He wants you out of pain and well!
As the Church, let's get with the program! Instead of looking for, and
confessing problems, while pointing self-righteous, spiritually rigid fingers
at others, we need to sincerely represent the Sender with hearts of
compassion. Faith will only work in that environment. Relative to the Great
Commission, Before a single body vacates its casket in raising the dead,
there must be a surrendered heart, through which pumps literal love. That's
how miracles work. Never allow this fact to be robbed from your soul. When
laying down your life for another, via serving, financially supporting,
traveling great distances to wash their feet, recognize that Blood...Christ's
and yours, is a major component of each obedient act. It travels through the
veins of every yielded individual. We will never be able to relive those
moments spent preferring others. Again, the Life's in the Blood that flows
through my veins as this Servant says, "Yes, I'll go and do that!" Often
misunderstood and persecuted, it matters not. You can't hurt a dead man. I am
no longer my own!
The Vision!
While practicing His Presence, the Revelator accorded a vision. In it I saw a
tree, bearing considerable fruit. However, there appeared to be some seeds
that hadn't completely developed. Instead, they were shriveled up and would
obviously, sooner or later, drop to the ground, away from their healthy
limbs. Nevertheless, both branches and vines were growing prolifically. The
interpretation of that presentation blew me away! This is what He had to
say...
"Dear Child, the tree represents My Glory to Glory process. When a Believer
takes up his cross and follows Me, the initial stages of that journey are
often shaky and uncertain, at least in the natural. Just as a toddler is
aptly named and gradually learns to not only walk, but run, such is the case
with Heaven's Kids. The undeveloped fruit is a depiction of those occasions
when sin temporarily interfered with destiny. Some might look at the tree and
only see its imperfections. However, Father's perception is of ongoing
transformation. Anything trespassing against the Plan will fall to the ground
and die, since I am Lord of the harvest, that Husbandman doing the pruning.
Yet, the tree (you) will never be injured. Have I not promised that former
enemies are to be seen no more? There are numerous Seeds of Promise
(revelations) in your spirit. You are incubating them for Us. And I am the
Doctor, the One Who will deliver the goods when the times and seasons are
right. Never should any Baby be thrown out with the bath water! Old things
must pass away, as We move forward into the Glory. The Great I Am remains
your Surgeon. Simply yield! Stay on the Potter's wheel. Here's some
additional news. Not only is the operation of My Spirit an internal work, but
an external endeavor, as well. Crooked places are being made straight on your
behalf! Refuse to focus on the sin in others or you. Instead, go for the
Cure! Love that neighbor as yourself! Suffice it to say, unless those eyes
can prophetically envision Dad's affection vertically, the horizontal will be
impacted, and caring about others, conduiting the excellency of that treasure
within, will be difficult. Children who are loved can easily love in return.
The opposite is also true. Suffering people have a tendency to injure others
in the way they were hurt. You are that tree! Some will be critical of your
fruit. But fear not! I did the planting and will prosper every step. For the
record, Papa is not finished with you yet. More manicuring has to be
completed in preparation for that large place. Having done all to stand,
stand, as a Cedar of Lebanon! Nothing but Life can emanate from those limbs.
The very touch of your hand will leave fingerprints of Glory, Resurrection
Power, causing varied recipients and surfaces to literally glow, driving out
all works of the enemy. This is only the beginning, priceless Soldier!"
