From the Desk of Doctor Paul ..."Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage...with great patience and careful instruction." 2 Timothy 4:2
"Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for he who loves his fellowman has fulfilled the law." Romans 13:8
"Do not take a purse or bag or sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road." Luke 10:4
So often, people will say, "I've never heard from God and wouldn't recognize His Voice if He spoke! Paul, how do you know when the Father speaks? What if I make a mistake and look foolish?"
Those, indeed, are viable and fair questions. The Word answers them quite well. Let's entertain each, in sequence.
First of all, in order to receive Christ and be born-again, there must be a hearing. Jesus clearly explained, and I'll paraphrase, "It's expedient, in your best interest, really, that I go to be with the Father, so that another Comforter (the Holy Spirit) can be sent. When He, the Spirit of Truth, is come, He'll take the things of mine and reveal them unto your heart. You'll then know the truth, and, via that knowledge, will be set free. In actuality, the Revelator speaks to us from the womb, since all creation, even at conception, awaits Heaven's transmission. There's a leaping on the inside of humanity when He imparts revelation. A resonating of the Word is discerned, as God works in us, both to will and do of Papa's good pleasure, according the desires of each heart. In simple terms, the Almighty, as the Believer yields, removes worldly agendas and desires, replacing them with Glory's Blueprint. At that juncture, the spirit of man is reborn and prepped for destiny.
The Power Agent's most important task is to convict, or convince, us of sin, judgment, righteousness and destiny, the fact that we can't possibly succeed in life, ministry and eternity without the Author and Finisher of faith. Additionally, judgment embraces Christ's finished work, the fact that you and I have become the very righteousness of God, in and through the Son. That means "right standing" before the Supreme Court Justice of the Universe. Destiny subsequently speaks through those same desires, inner nudgings and promptings. The new creation is then readied to move forward into the vineyard, sowing Seed, representing the Kingdom in power and a demonstration of Heaven's will and the miraculous.
Once more, in summary, no man comes to the Father, unless the Spirit draws him. So, every person on this planet possesses a capacity to hear, having been made in the Father's likeness and image for fellowship and blessing.
Let's examine the recognition of His Voice. God often has instructed me to keep it simple. If a child can understand what's being shared, the Ph.D. likely won't have too much difficulty either. The bottom-line has several facets. The Sheep, those in the Body, are to know His Voice. Heaven won't grant us a stone for a loaf of bread. Within every man, woman and child is a Receiver, or Peace Meter, that facilitates an immediate and easy knowing of the Lord's will. Heaven's Radar is another label for that marvelous gift.
Fellowship is profoundly vital to Him, since that's one of the reasons for our being. Why would He oppose His utmost desire? All good Daddies yearn to ongoingly relate and chat with their kids. The enemy has done a good job in selling the Church a grand lie, one that screams..."God doesn't care, talk, hear or respect our wishes!" Nothing could be further from the truth, as He forever lives for the Family. The Peace Meter should be used in the discernment process. Let the tranquility of Heaven be the deciding factor in determining both source and accuracy.
What about looking foolish? I don't know about you, but Paul does that quite well on a daily basis. Many of us have spent a lifetime operating from a base of fear and concern over what others think. All that translates into questioning the Commander's Voice and a reluctance to venture forward in the Spirit. Consequently, one is sadly encouraged to live in the sense-realm, second guessing God, making his own decisions, while denying guidance from the Throne Room and comfort from the One sent to do just that. Pride, a derivative of fear, is tied into the picture. There's nothing to lose in appearing a little strange, since the foolish things of the world will confound the wise in these awesome days of Outpouring.
God has a solution for those who are overly sensitive to external opinions. We aren't to salute men along the way, or fear faces of clay. All owed to others is love and an obedient, serving spirit. Our number one priority is to please the Sender, and in so doing, enemies and naysayers will oppose. Such was the case during Jesus' earthly walk and ministry. However, the Believer will be vindicated, as the Lord perfects everything of concern to the Follower. He well knows how to be a friend to our friends, and an enemy to those foes. That's His business.
The Church has been called to intimacy and immediacy. We are to be instant in and out of season. When that still, small Voice speaks, obey! Mary said it well..."Whatever He tells you to do, do it!" Occasionally, a command won't add up or make sense. Sometimes, your head will challenge every word and action. Here's a good analogy. Planting a garden in the spring is rarely questioned. However, what if you were told to sow in the winter? A rational person might conclude that a seed placed in frozen ground is doomed to die and never grow, which, of course, is true. But, the God Who can manifest water from a rock and part seas, has the ability to grant a prolific harvest in the most impossible of seasons. Again, do what He says. Be immediate, regardless of the season!
"Special Soldier, in the natural, this world is geared for the immediate,
with little to no patience when it comes to waiting. I am mindful of the
seasons, since they are in My hands. Heaven also is well aware of how long
you've been awaiting a manifestation of personal promises, Covenant and the
prophesied unprecedented Outpouring. Did Jesus not feed the multitude
following Him, unless they faint along the way? He was concerned about every
aspect of their being...spirit, soul and body. One obedient youngster, with a
small lunch, triggered the miraculous. He yielded, obeyed, and I moved. The
two major keys in that process involved following Me and being instant,
responsewise, to My Word. Needs were met by the Glory. Nothing has changed.
The harvest is greater, and will continue to exponentially multiply, as
Heaven visits earth, while signs and wonders, the dinner bell of the Holy
Spirit, draw all men toward the cross. Instead of envisioning and obsessing
over possible obstacles, call those things which be not as though they were,
until each becomes. I Am the God of obstacles and the impossible. Nothing is
impossible, which is why mindsets have to change in preparation for what's
imminently ahead. Has it not been written that every knee shall bow and
tongue confess the Epitome of Truth, that Jesus is Lord? The Glory will
promote and accomplish that. Provision is built into the call, each order
from Headquarters. No man, particularly in My Army, goes to war at his own
expense. Stand at the table, just as the Children of Israel did in former
days. Get ready to move as Minutemen. The Cloud of Glory will lead every step
of the way. That which originated in the unseen shall manifest by way of
Heaven's Condensation, emanating from bowels of compassion. Out of your belly
will flow rivers of Living Water. Without water, there can be no life. From
My Conduits... you, and this world, will be covered with an abundance of the
formerly unseen. Captives, even those who have long lost their hope, will be
set free. Question not! Fear has no place in what is about to unfold. Never
has there been more excitement and expectancy at either end. Fret not! You
won't be permitted to faint. Again, I Am responsible for delivering victory.
And so shall it be!"

Heaven richly moved upon those attending a recent Miracle Rally conducted by
Dr. Paul Gervais, in Rutland, Vermont. Tangible manifestations of Glory Dust,
Gold crowns and crosses, whole rows of teeth (Gold), as well as physical
healings in response to words of knowledge, are depicted on the
fifteen-minute, digitally produced (color) video. This is a moving
production! Catching the reactions of recipients to the Father's miraculous
in their lives was extremely touching. In this period of temporary
oppression, it's so refreshing to witness Heaven's appetizer of what's ahead
for the world and Body of Christ. The clip is awesome!
