Be Of Good Cheer!

"A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones." Proverbs 17:22

'"But a time is coming, and has come, when you will be scattered, each to his own home. You will leave me all alone. Yet I am not alone, for my Father is with me. I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.'" John 16:32-33

"You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world." 1 John 4:4

Vision:

While returning to my room at the Marriott Marquis in Atlanta, Friday, September 10th, the Spirit of the Lord afforded a profoundly clear revelation of Hurricane Ivan, then East of this nation, while relating His compassion for Florida. Within minutes, I forwarded that word to Governor Jeb Bush, a very special man, dearly loved in the Lord. Here is a portion of that email.

"During dinner tonight at the Marriott, Atlanta, I had a strong burden for Florida ... usually let the Lord prompt me and never try to force anything. In my heart, it was clear that both of His hands were wrapped around your State, as a boundary wall, or hedge of protection. As I returned to my room, the word..."Abate!", played over and over within. I was reminded of how the Father would suspend the very laws of nature, when necessary, to benefit humanity, from parting the Red Sea to calming storms. Florida is poised for Heaven's blessings. She's had enough oppression. He wants you to be comforted. Resoundingly, I heard Him say, 'No man, other than Jeb, has the commanding anointing to stand in the gap for God's people there.' What a responsibility and privilege! Am in agreement with that word, and am praying now."

Early this morning...September 16th, a pastor friend, under whom I held a Miracle Rally in Florida, expedited a snapshot that was taken today. Clearly, the Glory of God was manifesting in the Sunshine State, confirming last week's vision!

Atlanta, Georgia

While in Atlanta, I cannot help but perceive humanity's need for a wonderful Father, a Dad Who so much yearns to demonstrate His love in a myriad of ways. Most of us are literally starving spiritually, as we await manifestation of the Sons and Daughters of the Most High. Nothing short of the miraculous will satiate our Divine hunger and thirst for Righteousness. We've tried everything from narcissism to religion. Yet, that proverbial itch remains present, one which only the hand of God can reach and remedy.

Without question, Heaven is poised to invade earth with an unprecedented unveiling of all redeemed and purchased two-thousand years ago, through the precious Blood of the Lamb. Nothing can possibly prevent this prophetic move of the miraculous. That word "impossible" will no longer exist in the Believer's vocabulary. The Church, and I'm not alluding to a specific manmade structure here, but the Body of Christ, will well represent Her Head, in thought, word, deed and effectiveness, with unity as the very catalyst that ignites Glory's fuse.

As in the days of Christ, God's people remain the Throne Room's focal point. Consequently, the world's attention must follow the Glory Place on which the Father's hand rests. Those riding this Wave will literally and figuratively shine, as Jesus is made vitally and gloriously real, in and through the Family. Having been deemed His Ambassadors, we will lack for no good thing. The ultimate translation of all that boils down to a posture of always having full sufficiency in everything pertaining to life and godliness, complete ability, via the Covenant and Great Commission, to reach and so impact this world with an enriched hand of healing, prosperity and resurrection. Where sin abounds, grace, by way of a palpable reversing of hell's curse, will much more gain ascendency, even before the eyes of the staunchest unbeliever.

A professor once made a marvelous observation and point, one lining up with the Word, in terms of the Master's displayed humanity during his earthly walk. Jesus was as much God as man. The reverse is also true. In that realm, He was tempted in all points, like as we, yet without sin. Because of Christ's finished work, iniquity no longer has power over us. In plain terms, by making a quality decision, from whence there's no return, the Bride can walk in the Spirit and not fulfill the lusts of the flesh. In so doing, sin has no place, since that posture involves embracing the epitome of Heaven's Glory.

Let's return to our professor. His topic was "Relative Human Presence," which actually translates into becoming all things to every man, exercising compassion, empathy, mercy, goodness and grace, while recognizing an individual's need to be personally accepted, loved and validated. He talked about encouraging the brokenhearted by affording people a practical score. They earned fifty-points, if alive, another thirty for being human, ten if evidencing skills, and another ten, based upon how each handled problems. This method of assigning value assists in the building up of those who feel worthless.

I like that! From there, we can introduce a Savior, Whose identity can be assumed and assimilated by way of the New Birth experience. How can one possibly lose with the previously shared formula? Isn't it time for the Church to begin lifting up Christ and championing people? Pointing out what's wrong is child's play. Any dissatisfied critic can do that. However, by accentuating the positive and affording legitimate solutions, attention is gained for greater truth!

The Word instructs us to comfort others with the same comfort, wherewith we were comforted. My Bible also challenges, and furthermore, highly recommends, that the Children are to "taste and see" that the Lord is good.

Inherent compassion arrives by way of the Holy Spirit, accompanied by a revelation of who I am without the Blood, as well as the person Paul Gervais has become because of choices originally made by an unconditionally loving Father.

Attempt describing a food you've never tasted or seen to another. It's an impossible task. Using that as an analogy, unless I've experienced Salvation to the uttermost, after an unveiling of my own evil nakedness, how can God's plan be accurately and empathetically shared with a world steeped in guilt and pain?

Most are acquainted with the old expression..."Been there, done that!" Opinions are like noses. Everybody has one. Give me a man, woman or child with an experience, any day, and that person will immediately gain my respect and attention. We can all talk about winning the lost, healing the sick, casting out devils, raising the dead, signs, wonders and miracles. Sooner or later, there will be a challenge: "How many have come to Christ through your obedience? Tell me about healing the sick and resurrecting the dead."

Without question, the Holy Spirit is poised to grant prolific revelation...dreams and visions, epiphanies, heartfelt encounters with the Father, a multitude of victories, and numerous gifts of faith. We are to be sold on our product. Faith facilitates experience, and experience, hope, or Glory's Blueprint for the next challenge.

This is, indeed, an hour of tasting and seeing, permitting tests to be turned into testimonies. Messes await transformation into messages. All that comes by way of boot camp, precisely where the Beloved have been. Nonetheless, graduation into the miraculous and Covenant-consciousness is upon the Church. Let's embrace this marvelous promotion, then be soldiered to the four corners of the earth, where the Word will become flesh in a multitude of ways. In that venture, tears will be released as condensation of Glory. The Bride's joyful anticipation of fulfillment is a prelude to what lies ahead!

Glory's Banquet!

"Hungry Child, just as Jesus wouldn't let the multitude depart without provision, unless they faint along the way, for lack of sustenance, neither will you be permitted to fall or fail, while looking to the Author and Finisher of faith. The key to receiving is remaining in My Presence, hearing, acting on the Word, considering the promise already accomplished and delivered. The Holy Spirit, within, is positioned to point creation toward the Creator, while glorifying the Risen Savior. He will not speak of Himself, but the One Who sent Him. As Revelator and Power Agent, Heaven's Representative is well equipped to deliver the goods, while transforming the Children into the image of Christ, from Glory to Glory, by the Spirit. Understand, this is a process. Patience remains imperative, since He constructs the House, one brick at the time...line upon line, precept upon precept, with the Redeemer as the Chief Cornerstone. Yieldedness remains key. Permitting the Mind of Christ to call the shots assuredly determines outcome...victory or defeat. As with that lad's lunch, allow the Standby to set Heaven's table before you, in the presence of any, and all, enemies. I Am talking about a feast of the previously unfathomable here. The Throne Room has never been more eager to dispense and disperse! Warehouses of the unexpected will liberally manifest a spillage of all required to make whole those faithful to the Word and their respective calls. Exactly as the great crowds were fed and never turned away, so is the Anointing to abide and function in your life and ministry. The Church has not been unctioned to wring Her hands in helplessness and defeat. To the contrary, the precise center of abundance, provision, health and wealth is to rest within Her Nucleus. I don't make excuses, but promises...the true Answer Man. The day is rapidly approaching when Christianity will assume a more practical flavor, one of expected and delivered results. No person, place or thing will be exempt. The Word will demonstrate and materialize on the highways and byways, in supermarkets, on street corners, wherever darkness has been permitted access. The rubber must meet the road! The Father's Kingdom has invariably been in Power and a demonstration of the Spirit. Words without corresponding actions certainly don't equate to, or fall into the category of, faith. You will never be asked to do what I haven't already done, or venture into a place, for which provision hasn't been made. I have faithfully gone before each Commissioned Soldier, paving the way for resounding victory. Defeat is not a part of that process and outcome. Leaning unto natural understanding will surely stop the best in his tracks. My table has been aptly and abundantly set. There is no absence or shortage. Compel all hungry, the adversary's victims, to this banquet of Glory, as the Throne makes provision for the satiation of each need, according to Christ's riches in the Glory!"
