From the Desk of Doctor Paul ..."In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men." John 1:1-4
"He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together." Colossians 1:15-17
"And the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it." Isaiah 55:10-11
Never in the history of this world has there ever been such excitement and activity around the Throne Room. Not unlike carefully planned preparations for an extravagant wedding, God is overseeing every facet of the events leading up to that magic moment, when the Bride walks down Glory's Isle, adorned with love's tangibility, a transformation that will surely reflect the Groom's commitment and affection for His very reason for being, the Church.
I often reflect on Jesus' heartcry, yet to be fully realized. "Father, I pray that they be one, even as we are one." Prophetically, this writer can promise you that the Savior wasn't simply referring to our mental assent and agreement here, but a oneness, or unity, which visibly portrays the fact that we are, indeed, bone of His bone, and flesh of Dad's flesh. Furthermore, the Body, comprised of many members, has been deemed Branches of the Vine, from which prolific and Supernatural fruit manifest in a variety of ways and forms...from signs, wonders and miracles, to a literal transformation of spirit, soul and body, into the express image of Christ.
As He is, we have become in the here and now, Living Epistles, known and read of all men. When people look at us, they're to perceive a valid, vital and credible Covenant, from the fulness of salvation to the tangibility of the Creator's reality. The Bride is to be a walking, talking, acting billboard of the Word, an advertisement of Glory's promotion and provision.
You've often read about the Word not returning unto the Father void. Every revelatory unveiling possesses His Power within the promise, an ability to bring itself to pass, since Life is contained in the Seed, along with God's DNA.
"In the beginning was the Word, and that Word was with God, and the Word was God...John 1:1." Why did the Almighty send Jesus? His primary reason was this... He so loved the world! That was plainly a matter and exercise of the Lord's free moral agency. So, Jesus, in all willingness, entered earth's environment to love and serve, not judge.
We're familiar with the last three and a half years of the Master's life, His resurrection and ascension. Now, contemplate the Savior's return to the Father. He was the sown Seed, entering an evil planet, all alone. But what about the other half of the ticket, that moment He went back home, where Jesus is currently seated at the right hand of God? He is forever making intercession for the Beloved, getting ready for the wedding.
The Seed (Jesus) was obedient unto death, descended into hell, led captivity captive, was raised from the dead, and presented His precious Blood to a proud Father. From there, it was reverently placed on the Mercy Seat in the Heavenly Holy of Holies. Surely, nail prints were visible. But something else was in those glorified hands...the Bride, Children, a Family with Whom God could fellowship and ultimately bless! The sown Seed, in line with "what is written," didn't return void, but yielded the Fruit of our Savior's commitment to the Throne...you and me, completely redeemed by Obedience, Himself!
It's interesting to note, in line with this fact, that over the years, the Holy Spirit spoke to yielded men of old, imparting the Father's laws, truths, heart, mindset and will. This marvelous transference culminated in what we today call the Bible, composed of both New and Old Testaments. Each syllable is alive and impregnated with Heaven's transforming miraculous. Not only did the Third Person of the Trinity deliver God's Word, but, on the Day of Pentecost, He faithfully showed up, baptizing those present, while enabling each to understand that very same Covenant. So, the Revelator imparted the Word, then entered the Believer for the purpose of interpreting that same Word, while guiding and guaranteeing success, as the Body of Christ walks in that which was afforded by Grace. Additionally, the Creator watches over those inherent promises, bringing each to pass in His time, perfecting everything pertaining to the Bride.
Salvation is relatively simple, since Jesus did all the work for us at Calvary. Nevertheless, making Him Lord of our lives isn't so easy, since it necessitates a total sellout, which cannot be accomplished without a Spirit-led and established Glory to Glory process. We're talking about a progression of yieldedness that fully bears God's thumbprint with each step, since the Church, without the Power Agent's Presence, is no more able to render Herself holy than She is to raise the dead.
In order to "get there," one must acknowledge the Lord in all of His ways. Then paths are meticulously directed, and crooked places become straight. All this embraces walking by faith...His! So, not only are we saved by Grace, but Heaven provides the very tools needed for the Christian to be victorious in this life, as he well represents the Sender, while preparing himself for that awesome wedding!
In a major and realistic way, God does a majority of the work for us, doesn't He? Our responsibility is to recognize the finished work of Christ, appropriate the Blood, obey those nudgings and promptings within, then joyfully possess the land.
"Awaiting Bride, I have an exciting word for you. The yielded will yield! To
the extent that a decision is made to lay down that life for Me, I will
multiply and abundantly add blessings and anointings to your day. Doesn't the Word
instruct the weak to confess strength? In the Believer's obedience is My
ability made perfect. Nothing will be impossible in these days of the Spirit, since
Dad created everything perceived by the senses, and beyond. Doesn't it stand
to reason that the Creator has authority and ability over the Created? Surely!
Balance is My goal. Since the fall of man, all existing has attempted to live
within their respective spheres of wellness and tranquility. Even those leaves
on the trees are forever clinging, resisting death's pull. Such is the case
with every atom and molecule. Never forget, I Am upholding all things by the
Word of Heaven's Power. Let's get back to that wedding. Without spot or wrinkle
is Our motto. The Bride has overcome the enemy by the Blood of the Lamb and
word of Her testimony. It's time to stop begging and begin to operate in
certainty, a knowing. In quietness and confidence will be your strength. All must be
revealed in stillness. The Body of Christ is to never lack, but enjoy full
sufficiency is everything pertaining to life and godliness. So many have debated
the so-called 'prosperity message,' that 'grab it and have it mentality.'
Satan's done well in fooling the Elect. He's fairly convincing with words. But
after sending eternity's Best, why would any Father elect to not provide for His
own? Could you possibly permit a little one to go without, be ill, or even
die, if is were within your capacity to do good? Of course not! Most know the
difference between right and wrong. Why shouldn't I...the Author and Finisher of
faith? Who implanted those righteousness desires in you? They didn't come
from a vitamin. One would have to be dumb and dead to embrace sin's mentality!
Look around. Is there evil within that which I've made? Do flowers represent
iniquity and sickness? Satan can only attempt to pervert and counterfeit the
real. Know that! No good thing will be withheld from those walking in Covenant,
people who have received a revelation of their God's love and destiny. There's
no negativity on My end. Consequently, we need a drastic and dramatic change.
So shall that be. In the days ahead, look for a turning of hearts, sovereign
acts of Love, Light and Life from Glory's vantage point. I'm fairly talented
when it comes to surprises, the good and perfect. Settle for nothing but the
best. After all, Heaven's original Seed was just that. Bride, make way for the
Manifest Presence of the Most High. Some of you are familiar with that "makeover"
television program that has been aired. Hollywood's efforts to satisfy and
entertain are mere child's play, compared to what I have in mind. A double-sided
vindication (yours and Mine) is heading toward the planet. Heaven's record
will be set straight, with no room for second-guessing, traditionalizing or
polluting the Word. Prepare for a clean up, Church, in spirit, soul, body and
ministry. It will incorporate restoration and reconciliation of all things to Me
and the Family. Newness is on the horizon. After all, We have a Marriage Supper
in sight!"
