"Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke? Is it not to share your food with the hungry and provide for the poor wanderer with shelter...when you see the naked, to clothe him, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood (family...brothers and sisters in Christ)? Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard. Then you will call, and the Lord will answer; you will cry for help, and he will say: Here I am." Isaiah 58:6-9
"Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God (like the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval) among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know...." Acts 2:22
"And my speech and my preaching were not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power. That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God." 1 Corinthians 2:4-5 "Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the Gospel of Christ." Romans 15:19
"And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following." Mark 16:20
Dreams and visions have always been the language of the Holy Spirit. I often ponder the words of Gordon Lindsay, founder of Christ For The Nations in Dallas, Texas. He once declared, "In that great day of Outpouring, the miraculous will be Heaven's dinner bell, delivering more souls into the Kingdom than any other entity."
While holding a ten day Miracle Rally at that college, years ago, I'll never forget the professors and student body there. They were all hungry for God, and I wasn't a whole lot older than those in attendance. Young people lined the auditorium walls, seeking what the Lord had to offer. His response was, indeed, overwhelming, as hundreds were overcome by Glory's Presence, healed, and filled with the Holy Spirit as the Creator's miraculous abounded.
I'll never forget what one student said to me at that rally. "Paul, you give us hope! Many ministering here are much older. However, you're closer to our age, and God is using the ministry's anointing and obedience in such a wonderful way."
How thrilling it truly is to witness souls being set ablaze with such enthusiasm. So many in this world lack a fire in their belly, what's really required for bringing Heaven to earth, as Jesus once earnestly petitioned in one of His final prayers. In order for us to win the lost, heal the sick and raise the dead, there must be an immediate change. The Holy Spirit is not only emphasizing that very point, but He's also empowering the Bride with what's needed to accomplish the job.
Contemplate how often our words and actions, corresponding with those nudgings and promptings from the Throne Room, can impact this world or an individual's life. It's accurate and fair to say that when one is obedient to God, he never knows what might be at the other end of his act. Lives and ministries, potential and otherwise, literally hang in the balance.
Every spoken revelation is a faith container, not unlike a little bucket of promises, poised to be poured upon awaiting recipients. That so often has been the genesis of God's birthing process, since all begins with a thought, followed by a subsequent act and resultant fact. Millions of people are carrying around yet-to-be-fulfilled unctioned words of Life and Light.
Several years ago, I placed a book order with Harrison House in Tulsa, Oklahoma. An agent at the other end introduced herself as Jan B., then proceeded to enter the required personal information into the company's computer system for shipping and billing purposes. In the process, Jan exclaimed..."Are you Paul Gervais from Maine?" This writer's response was naturally in the affirmation. She quickly countered with, "You changed My life!" At that point, I became a little concerned, wondering if an old girlfriend had left town and relocated. Nevertheless, my anxiety abated when Jan commented further... "You were at Christ For The Nations when I was a student. The Lord touched me in a very special way while your meetings were moving forward. Again, Paul, I will never be the same person because Jesus and you were there!"
I was astounded upon hearing that. This nation is fairly vast. What would be the chance of connecting with someone you had ministered to, years ago, in another state, while securing a telephone order? That was surely a God Moment in my life. Additionally, this encounter reinforced the significance of destiny, the fact that Heaven has everything under control. When following the Author and Finisher of our faith, we can depend upon epiphanies and neat little surprises and promotions along the pathway of yieldedness.
While sitting across from a patient at the Clinic less than two weeks ago, the room suddenly filled with the Lord's Glory. Often, Gold Dust will form on those present, to a point where their faces will literally shine. This time, I was cognizant that a healing anointing was lingering in the environment. Again, it was one of those spontaneous, unplanned visitations when Heaven's spillage translated into tangibility. Jen, in her twenties, had flown in from Texas for her regular appointment. The progression of that night's miracle was chronicled:
"Something has definitely happened to my spine. When I was in middle school, a nurse referred me to a specialist. The diagnosis was scoliosis. Since that time, quality of life has been poor, with many sleepless nights of back pain. Lying on the floor was often all that could be done for immediate relief. In fact, since adolescence, left hip pain had been fairly constant. While meeting with you, Paul, a warmth was discernible over my back and hip region. The sensation continued after leaving your Clinic. At the Comfort Inn, before the returning flight to Texas, I could feel the Power of God carefully evaluating each vertebra. Interesting as well is this. Additional suffering from a C8 radiculopathy on the left side was a part of the whole scenario. It had been painful to the point of tears. Medications and chiropractic care wouldn't touch the problem. While the Holy Spirit was 'adjusting' me, I could feel a zing on the C8 nerve, which was being returned to normal function. Prior to last week's healing, I had beat up my body on a regular basis by running, hiking and playing tennis. The Lord has brought me back to normalcy!"
Heaven is invading earth, and those awesome "attacks" of the miraculous and manifestations of Covenant will be more prolific as Glory's clock ushers in an unprecedented move of the creative and new. The old has passed away, and all is changing. So, the Christian is presented with a challenge...either enter into that unparalleled newness or remain stuck in the mire of tradition and irrelevance.
The Revelator has never been more excited than He is this very moment. Let's enter that Secret Place and experience Heaven's euphoria!
"Precious Child, never in the history of this universe has there been such
hunger and anticipation for Glory's Supernatural. Have you noticed a
perception lately, one of feeling like a fish out of water? The Family wasn't created
for the tedious and mundane, but the new and unusual. Some have reached their
wits end...not a bad place to be, since satisfaction can only be birthed out
of dissatisfaction. Beloved, trust not in oppression, as this isn't it! Like
David before Goliath, there may be a sense of intimidation and doom, but the
bully is only a facade. What did that future king have in his hand? A stone!
Who is the very Rock of your salvation, the Chief Cornerstone? That's right!
Christ Jesus...the Risen One, is not only in His Bride, but has become bone
of the Children's bone, and flesh of their flesh. Has it not been written
that you are Lively, or Living Stones, walking Billboards, Epistles known and
read of all men? As an extension of the Rock of all rocks, you, too, will
deliver fatal blows to the enemy's head, not unlike King David. The Church is
Glory's Perpetual Weapon against the wiles of man's adversary. Consequently,
everything your hand touches will prosper through the Spirit of Life in Christ.
Satan's death comes by way of your Life, Mine in you, glowing and flowing from
all remaining in the Atmosphere of God's Presence. Some have questioned the
content and effectiveness of prayer. Listen well! No longer be perplexed over
form and formula when petitioning the Most High. Instead, pray the
Word...both written and revelatory. The One Who watches over that which was purchased
and sealed by the Blood of the Lamb has poised Himself for performance. The
Supreme Court of the Universe is never more delighted than when the Kids talk
and act like Dad. Their success is His. Nothing is hidden that won't be
revealed. You possess an inheritance, a fortune surpassing the wildest of dreams
and imaginations. What has been tucked within the recesses of My heart is ripe
for sharing. A maturity has been embraced and assimilated to handle the
Glory...those promises of detail and destiny. Walking in the Spirit is both a
progressive and promotional process. The only constant in life and godliness is
change. The Womb of Heaven has been fully prepared for release of Covenant's
contents, a spillage of essence, nature and outcome. Men, women and children
have been carrying a fire in their bellies, an inner-knowing that more,
translated into the very best, has been reserved for Glory's grand finale. Though
the vision tarries, have you not discerned a stirring, as Life, within that
unveiling, leaps, prompts, stirs and attests to its own worth and validity?
Spiritual gestation cannot linger beyond the Grand Designer's perfect times and
seasons. Glory's long-awaited hour of judgment, a positive alignment of the
natural with the Supernatural, is upon His House. This is not an act of
punishment and condemnation, but adjustment and birthing, relative to all facets
of the Contract. Meanness and subserviency are no part of Dad's nature and
mindset. Nothing escapes this Eye. Would it be fair to expect faith and belief
from a world that hasn't witnessed the totality of the Father's might? The
answer to that question is obvious. This earth shall be filled with a knowledge
of the Blood's Glory! Don't be afraid of selling out, falling back and
permitting Me to catch and embrace you in these arms of strength, affection and
transference of identity. The Love I Am talking about here isn't ethereal or
abstract, but literal and tangible, an Entity that infuses each recipient with
wholeness, direction and commission. Containers for that Latter Rain Glory
have been readied to collect and disseminate gifts from warehouses of goodness
and mercy. Freely you have received. In like fashion, give all away,
comforting others with the same comfort wherewith you were comforted. Once more,
don't exit the Waiting Room. Never forget the certainty of Heaven's
prophetic....'In the fullness of time, Jesus!' When that designated season has arrived,
nothing and no one will be able to stop the Word from becoming flesh again. In
the most unlikely people, places and things, I will appear unto your joy.
Prepare to give birth, Expectant Anticipator, as rivers of Living Water flow
from that belly to the four corners of the earth!"
