His Peace!

"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." John 14:27

Nothing in all creation is more refreshing and spiritually invigorating than spending time with the Father, in that Secret Place of the Most High. Often, He will personally make a date with His Child, occasionally, showing up when least expected with fresh loaves of that Heavenly Bread, which have been promised and scheduled for daily delivery. When broken, it seems to increase and multiply, permitting masses to be fed, producing a never ending supply of Life.

From those encounters, one enters into an indescribable peace, a joy and stillness that can only be derived from the Father's Presence. Within each Child is an ability to hear and discern His Voice. He so desires to know what's on your mind, also, yearning to perfect all that is of concern, pertaining to life and godliness...being just like Him, in this world. We want to remain there, with Daddy. For some strange reason, that seems to be His heart cry, as well.

During two of those marvelous occasions with Him, He spoke candidly about His plans for the Church. Let's break that Bread, together.

Dream: 8-29-99

Standing before the open casket of a young lady who had obviously been taken, prematurely, I found myself in what appeared to be a church setting, with a small group of people quietly sitting in their chairs. While looking at that still frame, compassion, emanating from every pore, increasingly welled up in my spirit. All of a sudden, the girl began to move, struggling to free herself from death's horrible grip. The funeral director stepped in, exclaiming, "That is enough! It's time to bury the body." With righteous indignation, I turned to him and retorted, "No! This isn't right." He wasted little time backing off. As a firm stand was taken, both the Grace of God and Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ took over. The lady, awesomely struck by Resurrection Power of God, slowly opened her eyes and was extracted from the premises.

The Word of the Lord came unto me, saying, "This is indicative of what I have planned for these wonderful days of My Spirit. Evil will be overcome with good. Where sin, or its byproducts, abounds, Grace will much more abound. Light is about to dispel darkness. Nothing will be able to stand in the way, as you are willing and obedient to the revelation. The young girl in that night vision represents what the enemy has been permitted to accomplish in this world, while many helplessly stand by, not realizing their rights and privileges in the Kingdom, readily accepting Satan's antics, in some cases, attributing them to Me. Victims have been many. Contemplate the scene, when the woman with an issue of blood made her way through that great press and touched the hem of the Master's garment, drawing from My ability...the Anointing. Such will be the case, as you go about, vitally reversing the curse, yes, even performing greater works than these. Trust that Unction, the excellency of the Power, within. The Believer will always have sufficiency in everything pertaining to life and godliness."

Faith Works By Love!

"The casketed lady wanted out of her prison. Bystanders were more embalmed than she, basically in doubt and unbelief. I was looking for a gap stander, one who would be moved with bowels of compassion, poised as a conduit of Life for a lost and dying world. As My Church comes alive, in more ways than one, the outpouring will be phenomenal. Nothing can get in the way, or stop Me, not even the very gates of hell. It is time for the Sleeping Giant to arise in majesty, Glory and spender, fully and rightfully assuming Her role as victor, taking authority over the works of Satan. However, know this! Love will launch this marvelous move, a period when the unredeemable will be saved, the unhealable, healed, the unreachable, reached. I am about to perform a new work. Prepare! Refuse mediocrity. Count the cost. Make a quality decision to follow the Holy One. Totally surrender! The impossible is about to become possible. Remember, faith-filled words, from your heart and mouth, dominate the law of sin and death. Prophesy to those dead bones. Then the Wind (Holy Spirit) will breathe life into each and every atom. Allow the Father's compassion to flow from your innermost being. And surely, these signs shall follow! I will do far beyond what you could ever ask, think, dream or imagine!"

What Love!

"Heaven and earth have never been closer than they are, this very moment. In fact, the two are embracing one other. The Glory of the former is about to be poured out onto the latter, in these days of the Spirit. This is truly the most exciting time to be alive, particularly with His Life flowing through each and every pore, setting at liberty those bruised by the enemy. Contemplate the intensity of Father's affection, for a moment. When was the last time you counted the strands on a loved one's head? For some, that may be easy. Regardless, the very hairs on your scalp have been numbered by the Creator of this marvelous universe."

That just blows me away! How much more intimate and caring could anyone be? Surely, He is committed to our well-being and success.

As a result, never has it been easier to hear the Father's Voice...yes, His very heartbeat. That Blood on the Mercy Seat, in the Heavenly Holy of Holies, is loudly and clearly articulating the Word and will of the Most High. But, with that still, small Voice on the inside arrives a peace that seemingly passes all understanding.

Depend Upon Him!

"Dear Child, these are days of mighty anticipation, a fulfillment of that which has been both spoken and written by the prophets. The stirring on the inside is surely indicative of not only growth, but the very life of the vision I gave you, when My Spirit moved upon your heart. Just as Mary questioned the process, such has been the case in the minds of many Christians. However, Dad's answer is still the same. The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee. He is the Power Agent of the Trinity, the One who delivers the goods. Mary questioned no further, but yielded to the Promise. Follow her example and fear not. Just as your Savior placed full confidence in Him, from His very moment of arrival on earth, to the resurrection and ascension, you must do likewise. It is He who seals that redemption and marks each Believer to be present on that day. Please, know! One minute before He (the Holy Spirit) moved on that tomb, the Master appeared to be very dead. Thirty seconds, prior to Lazarus' departing his place of rest, death appeared to be ruling the day. Nevertheless, the Holy Spirit wasn't late and never will be. Even though you have gone through much, the Spirit of Truth will bring into fulfillment and manifestation all that is seen within your heart."

Presence Precedes Person!

"Before that last cell is added to the Body of Christ, there will be a heavy Presence of Glory covering the world...Blood, Fire and Pillar of Smoke. Some have questioned that progression. The shed Blood of the Lamb, representing Jesus, will surely produce a Fire (baptize you with the Holy Ghost and Fire), which will purge all that is foreign and unholy, anything not belonging to the Bride...sickness, poverty, death, a perception of powerlessness, removing and ironing out each spot or wrinkle. There's your healing, health and prosperity! That garment will literally glow with My Presence. Expect your face to experientially shine, as you spend time with Me, launching out into the depths of the Spirit. Deep calleth unto deep! Just as Moses' countenance had to be covered, due to the Glory, the Believer's will radiate that Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ, resulting in scores dropping to their knees, being overcome and healed by your very presence and the Presence. What about the Pillar of Cloud? Well, that is the condensation, established by a flowing from the innermost being of every Child...bowels of love and compassion, rivers of Living Water, flooding this planet with Life, overcoming all aspects of evil, vitally reversing the curse, undoing Satan's works. That is the Cloud, in which I will come...signs, wonders, miracles...the heaviness of My Presence. Your obedience to those nudgings and promptings will produce the Cloud! From some, depending upon willingness and commitment, will proceed a trickle. Others are to manifest rivers and streams, thus producing the Glory Cloud that will witnessed, worldwide. All will blend together, as the Church is one, in Spirit and mission. The Believer is about to become radioactive and contagious with the Essence of Heaven. Whole towns, cities, states and nations will throng into the Kingdom, as I turn the earth upside down through your yieldedness. Be humble! But think and act big, under the unction that has been accorded from the Holy One. Before the Redeemer raptures His Church, appearing in that Cloud of Glory... Jesus' manifest Presence, the associated works and His reality will be unquestionable."

Hearts Of The Children Turned!

"In the early 60's, I placed a vision, in the hearts of young people, to love and promote peace, via walking in the Spirit. However, the enemy was successful in stopping the movement. That won't be the case from this point, forward. The same revelation has been revived and implanted, as the current generation prepares to take the Gospel into dry and dead places, with great authority and manifestations. There is a floodtide movement underway that cannot, and will not, be stopped. This time, that love won't be perverted or polluted. Even the very hair and clothing styles have reverted back to those days. Nothing will be lost! But first, comprehend, those same young people are being stirred to renew ties with their biological and spiritual families. Restoration and reconciliation are taking place, as hearts of the children turn to the Father, then their earthly fathers, while I move upon the Dads to renew ties, connect with, as well as understand, their sons and daughters. You see, My love, this very moment, is being shed abroad in hearts, by way of that One representing Me on the planet."

Heaven and Earth Are Bursting At the Seams With Excitement!

"All creation awaits a manifestation of the sons and daughters of God. Recollect those rocks that were poised to sing forth My praises! Contemplate the fact that this planet was not created for sin. It's sort of like getting a splinter in your finger or swallowing poison. There is a convulsing, or concerted effort to purge (expel) that which is foreign. As sin builds, the ground, along with everything in, on and around it, not only travails, but attempts to dispel evil, get rid of the poison, that splinter, so to speak, making room for My Glory. In these days of unprecedented Power, the earth will welcome those precious feet (yours) and be moved, just as John leapt in the womb of his mother, when encountering Jesus. Reflect upon the many times your Father suspended the laws of nature to benefit humanity. And, they cooperated! That is precisely why you have been instructed to go in and posses the land. Do it with peace and joy!"

"Command Ye Me!"

"You are the Voice of the Word of God! Remain in the Throne Zone, as much is to be revealed. I cannot achieve My dream, without first telling the Church, so She, the Bride, can incubate the baby...vision and revelation, ultimately giving birth to the plan. Everything begins with a picture! How did your Father create the seen? Let Me answer that question. He did it through vision, after which there was an articulation of what was witnessed within. I spoke, and it became!! That is the way each Believer is to move and have his being in these great days. Say what you see on the inside, what is relayed from Me!!! Satan has been defeated, but is vitally overcome by the Blood of Christ and Word of your testimony. Thoughts never dominate thoughts. One will be totally defeated in that realm. Faith filled words rule over thoughts, even the law of sin and death. Child, command ye me! Dad's Hand will move!"

Brad and Misty Bernall called early, the other morning, from Colorado, prior to my patient load. "Paul, we are just having coffee out here on the porch, talking, wanted to see how your day was going."

There was such peace in their voices, even after losing precious Cassie. His words then richly filled my spirit. "Paul, she went into that school library to study, as an ordinary student, but came out a martyr. You are merely perceiving the incident from an earthly vantage point. But I, after ushering her into My Presence, have seen the joy and peace that only Heaven can impose upon a face. The Holy Spirit gave Cassie an unction and boldness, at just the proper moment, to receive the highest of all crowns, that of martyrdom. And Paul, rest assurred, she is wearing it proudly and well."

With that exchange came a peace that would be impossible to describe in print or person. It's simply there.

Right after that, He spoke, once more.

"Their Blood Cries Out!"

"Satan has come against all, but particularly the younger set. He doesn't have many details, as the Truth is not in him, being the father of lies and deception. Paul, he couldn't keep a story straight, if his life depended upon it! The evil one is upset over what I am about to do with the kids. He made a major mistake in Colorado! That incident, in particular, was the straw that broke the proverbial camel's back. It's over for him with the youth. For every drop of Columbine blood, I will add a thousand souls to the Kingdom. Then, they will go out, by the millions, turning this world upside down for Me. And Cassie has been given a front row observation seat. All enemies are about to be made My footstool. That means, they are under the Bride's feet...yes, even death, the last to be visually defeated. Before returning, I will be known as the Great Resurrection!"

Some have the idea that if you live by faith, life will be void of problems. Set that notion aside. It isn't true, not on this side of the rapture.

Look at the Master. Did he float through thirty-three years of bliss? The answer to that query is already known. His faith was perfect. Yet, Jesus had the toughest time of any man walking the face of this earth. He was criticized, persecuted, misunderstood, judged, plotted against and crucified. Once more, our Lord was tempted with every sin mankind has ever known, resisting all.

Was that a piece of cake for Him? There is nothing tougher than feeling the pressure of sin, sickness, lack and grief, yet refusing to let it dominate you.

"No, I'll not receive this illness in my body. Neither will that circumstance get any attention. This Child has been set free from the curse, by the Blood of Jesus. And I will live free by faith in Him!"

Look at the Master in the Garden of Gethsemane, if you want to receive some insight into His torment. Before going to the cross, the pressure of temptation He faced put such a strain on His physical body that drops of blood poured through the Redeemer's skin, like perspiration. But, even then, sin could not conquer Jesus' will.

We will never face that much conflict or pressure. However, you and I have the same Power and peace available to us that took Him, not just through that turmoil in the Garden, but the whipping, mocking and subsequent Crucifixion. Child of God, you possess the very peace that accompanied Christ all the way through to the Resurrection!

"Peace I leave with you," He declared. "My peace I give unto you...Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."

You know what? Jesus didn't stop there, but instructed us on how to gain access to that peace and stand in faith, when frightening events are happening all around.

"If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you." John 15:7

He has given the Body that peace...far more than will ever been needed. And Jesus has shown us how to tap into it. Cease going over your problem...again and again. Receive the abundant tranquility He has richly provided. That walk will never be the same!
