From the Desk of Doctor Paul ...
Don't Rock The Boat!
Los Angeles, California
October 25, 2003
"Elijah went before the people and said, 'How long will you waver between two
opinions? If the Lord is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him.'"
1 Kings 18:21
"This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel, says: 'In
repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength, but you
would have none of it.'" Isaiah 30:15
"That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, 'Let us go over to the
other side.' Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was,
in the boat. There were also other boats with him. A furious squall came up,
and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. Jesus was in
the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him,
'Teacher, don't you care if we drown?' He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the
waves, 'Quiet! Be still!' Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.
He said to his disciples, 'Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?'
They were terrified and asked each other, 'Who is this? Even the wind and the
waves obey him!'"
Mark 4:35-41
I often ponder what it was like to hang around Jesus during his days of
public ministry. Unquestionably, He stood out in the crowd. It wasn't so much His
appearance that drew the multitudes, but the Master's love, the fact that He
was, and is, the Word made flesh, dwelling among men, for the purpose of
expressing and manifesting the Father's heart.
Can't you picture him in that boat with His disciples? Having exclaimed,
"Let's go over to the other side," from the natural to the Supernatural, the
mundane to the extraordinary, the Master must have been somewhat disappointed. Not
all made the right choice of leaving their comfort zones. Yet, some did. As a
result, they experienced miracles, new facets of the Living Christ.
The Man could still storms, suspending the very laws of nature to bless and
benefit humanity. Never once did Jesus fail to take advantage of opportunities
like that. Even though His passengers failed to recognize the Deliverer's
willingness and abilities, Jesus, predisposed to show favor, never passed up an
opportunity to express Himself. The wind and waves obeyed every syllable,
emanating from those anointed lips. In rocking the boat, complaining as they often
did, Heaven's Son was gentle and understanding, wanting nothing more than to be
a role model of behavior and authority.
Wherever He went, the religious zealots became agitated, not unlike today.
For some strange reason, they couldn't handle the joy of those delivered from
Satan's influence. Yet, the Glory, conduited through our Savior, was drawn to
the oppressed in spirit, soul, body and provision. Jesus saluted no flesh during
his journey, but was keenly focused on going about Dad's business.
I read an investigative account of the crucifixion, and there were many,
conducted by the Roman government, since the resurrection was obviously a
fulfillment of prophecy; and a deceased Body was missing. For the record, it was never
found, not on this earth. The contained summary related the character of
Jesus, the fact that even wildlife would walk up to Him without fear. Why? Because
He has always been the Prince of Peace. Creation was drawn to the Creator.
Such is the case today. As we lift up the Savior, men, women and children
will throng into the Kingdom. Just as we presented gifts to the Christ Child, He
is likewise bestowing signs, wonders and miracles on the Apple of Heaven's
Eye...His people.
The finished work of Christ has empowered the Church to perform Heaven's
greater exploits. We have both an Unction and mandate from the Holy One. The
Revelator is, indeed, working overtime to impart exact knowledge, relative to who
we are in the One Who was crucified and descended into that fiery pit, paying
the ultimate price for our redemption. Had the story ended there, we'd all
still be lost. Yet, Jesus took the keys to hell and death, arose from the dead,
and presented His precious, sinless Blood to the Father, thus settling the
iniquity issue, once and for all, so the plan of redemption could move forward.
Believer, having received a prompting from the Throne Room, when standing
before that casket or infirmed body, you must know who you are, and what's behind
your actions, since Satan will do his level best to intimidate God's Child.
How does he do it? We are no match for Hell in the sense realm. Things aren't
always as they appear. In fact, the seen had its origin in that region which
cannot be perceived by the five physical senses. Consequently, it's imperative
for us to live, move and have our being in Word, Heaven's Great Commission and
Covenant, calling those things which be not, as though they were, until each
becomes.
When the Holy Spirit is given free course in the Christian's walk, a true
sanctification process begins. We think, act, talk, and enjoy the same results as
the One Who sent us. Jesus completely yielded. That's the key to fully
preaching the Gospel and manifesting the Glory...total surrender. He is the Captain
of our Ship...that body. So long as Jesus is in the boat, all will be well!
The Word instructs us to judge not. Regardless, the Church is to judge, or
discern, after the Spirit. When a surgeon enters his operating theater, the
patient remains his primary concern. The practitioner's focus is on the malady and
promoting recovery.
Quality physicians are solution oriented. God's Ambassadors must separate the
issue, or iniquity, from the individual. You and I are to present the cure.
We should never attack people. Our wrestling is not against flesh and blood,
but powers and principalities in high places. We're to do business within that
realm. Instead of rocking the boat, pouncing on victims of darkness and
resisting the Holy Spirit, the Christian utilizes the Anointing as a finely directed
laser beam, excising the negative, while not harming good tissue...precious
individuals, for whom the Father dispatched Heaven's Gem.
Glory Unleashed!
"Priceless Passenger, a little word from your Captain...Don't rock the boat,
since I'm in it with you! Has it not been written that the Savior would be
with, and reside on the inside of, the Bride, while expressing and manifesting
through the yielded? As the Children's rereward, I Am also the Family's Rear
Guard. Never question Heaven's will to guide and protect the Beloved. The One Who
counts the hairs on each head has a marvelous future and plan in store for
those choosing to first seek the Kingdom and Glory's Righteousness. The adding
of those good and perfect gifts arrives by way of Covenant. So much of what
the Church seeks is already Hers. So many are unfamiliar with the finished work
of Christ, the potency of the Blood. Listen attentively. Few marriages can
prosper, or survive, without friendship, the very foundation of unity. Intimacy
promotes trust and expectancy. Your problems have mocked salvation's intent
long enough. Has anyone in either Testament ever failed, as a result of following
Me? Contemplate the Great Lover's leadings and mandates, from Genesis to
Revelation. Each led to blessings and provision. In fact, the laws of nature were
literally suspended to benefit humanity, when the need arose. Yet, the
miraculous and impossible were triggered by meticulous obedience to that still, small
Voice. Know this! In order for the Believer to go under, the Author and
Finisher of faith would have to sink, as well, and that just isn't possible.
Having gone before the Obedient to make the way, promotion and success are
guaranteed. Some have perceived My Glory as merely signs and wonders. But
additionally, it goes way beyond that. In the upcoming onslaught, evil will surely be
overcome by good. The Christ in you will light up the lives of multitudes.
Disappointments and injuries of the past will attract the Manifest Presence of the
Holy One. For every pain, they'll be tangible gain. The enemy is to steal no
more, since Covenant has declared that what he's illegally acquired must be
returned sevenfold. Each prior loss will translate into an opportunity for the
Word to, once again, become flesh. Never forget this intriguing fact. Your losses
are not in the past, but will be returned to you in the form of future
glorification! That's right. I will have the last say in the lives and ministries of
the Kid's. Within the spiritual and natural realms, the Church must rule and
reign without shortage, lacking nothing, always having full sufficiency in
everything pertaining to life and godliness. Like a vicious dog protecting his
master's property, the Glory will vigorously attack darkness and negativity,
vitally chasing the enemy from his current stronghold. Identity and empowerment
are facets of what's comprised within that Cloud of Destiny. Vindication,
restoration and reconciliation will flow like a river, washing away stains of
shame, blame and unholy judgment. Solidly stand in the place wherein you've been
called. The world will soon know that you are Mine, and I Am the God of all
flesh...even yours!"
