From the Desk of Doctor Paul ...



Rags To Riches!


"For his anger lasts only for a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning." Psalm 30:5

"The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion...to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for a display of his splendor (Glory)." Isaiah 61:1-3

"When the Lord brought back the captives to Zion, we were like men who dreamed. Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy. Then it was said among the nations, 'The Lord has done great things for them'" Psalm 126:1-2

We are entering a vital era of convergence, as Heaven and earth are joined by the Glory of God. Within moments of entering Trinity Broadcasting Network's Costa Mesa facility today...June 1, 2005, small yellow Gold Flakes began attaching themselves to my face, not unlike the great manifestation of 2000, before millions of viewers.

In that regard, the Church is already into a season of suddenlies and unanticipated epiphanies, a tangible and palpable invasion from another Dimension, one neither of sight nor sound, but of faith and love. The Father has begun rekindling those dreams and visions of yesteryear. Weights are being removed, including that horrible fear of fainting and failing.

While in Los Angeles, I'm reminded of a story related to me by Frankie Valli of the Four Seasons. It is so in agreement with the Word, and has both blessed and inspired this servant to maintain Heavenly eyes and ears for the hurting and oppressed. We are to forever think and act as the One Who has sent us. This is what Frankie had to say.

"Years ago, I was driving through a familiar neighborhood in our town, a place where one might often, at a particular intersection, have to wait at least two minutes for the changing of a red light. Young people would hang out at that same spot. Some approached vehicles and washed windshields, in hopes of receiving a little pocket change for their labor. I was stopped at that location, awaiting the switching of the light, when a small, unkept, tattered, seemingly fragile girl, who appeared to be very much alone, caught my eye. The kid clearly stood out amongst the group. She walked up to the car's windshield and meticulously commenced cleaning every spot. Toward the end of that process, I reached into my pocket, hoping to find a quarter. There wasn't a coin on my person. The teen just stood there. I shall never forget her. A little Voice inside said, 'Give that little one a five dollar bill!' The rest is history. It was indeed a magic moment for two people, as our souls intersected. I handed over the money. Nothing was said. While driving off, the rearview mirror well caught her image. Those beautiful eyes simply stared at me until the terrain separated us. The world would soon hear about the encounter and how it touched Frankie Valli's heart. I was moved to the point of actually composing a song just for her...that precious 'Rag Doll,' which became an overnight international hit. In fact our group has never again produced a cut of that intensity and magnitude."

Little is much when God is in it! The law of sowing and reaping was to become a way of life for that artist, who has often sung these words...'I'll go on living and keep on forgiving...." Capturing and putting to music other magic moments, a few of them painful...dealing with betrayal, would later launch the group into what they ultimately became in the music industry.

Frankie and I first crossed paths in Maine. He has always been a special man to me, with an unprecedented voice and unbelievably soft heart. That day with the "Rag Girl" prompted some very deep emotions and touched millions.

Without question, Frankie has often looked at his own daughter, Toni, and, in retrospective insight, thought of that less fortunate 'Rag Doll,' knowing that she, too, had a real Daddy, a God touched by the feelings of her infirmities.

Jesus is like that. A child's cry causes Him to stop in His tracks. He took notice of the woman with an issue of blood and healed her. The Savior championed leaving the ninety-nine for the one. Jairus' daughter caught the Redeemer's full attention. The end result was a resurrection. That woman at the well was another case. Again, nothing draws Heaven's Glory any faster than a 'Rag Doll.' We surely qualify and have many in our world.

That's why we've been sent into the harvest...what ministry is all about. Live your life for Christ and those 'Rag Dolls' out there, as the Father enshrouds each with a Robe of Righteousness and affords beauty for ashes.

Prophecy is being fulfilled before our very eyes! Note the correlation between a vision, received and posted December 24, 1999...Archives, just prior to Y2K, and the beginning of its fulfillment before millions of international viewers, as Dr. Paul Crouch and I were in His Presence on the Trinity Broadcasting Network.

"The fullness of time" is upon us. Our Father's eyes are affixed on this planet's "Rag Dolls" and those who await Glory's manifestation.

12-24-99

Heaven and earth have never been closer than they are this very moment. His will is about to be accomplished in the latter, mirroring and reflecting what has transpired in the former. The Throne Zone has not previously known such anticipation and excitement, as all creation eagerly awaits the promised outpouring. Those days of standing and tolerating Satan's taunts are drawing to a close, as the reaper prepares to surpass the sower, while the gap narrows between the spoken Word and manifestation. Time is surely compressing! The Glory is about to fall. This is that which was prophesied in days of old. The whole earth remains poised to be filled with the knowledge of a living, active, victorious, all powerful Father, openly displaying His works and Presence through the Children. Conjointly, the evil one will be revealed, as the wraps are lifted from his ugliness, exposing a totally neutered foe. Our response will Scripturally be, "Is this really the puny worm who has been giving the Church such difficulty over the centuries? Why did I ever fear, or permit him to have so much influence in my life, family and ministry?"

The Vision!

With that marvelous revelation arrived a vision of an open Heaven. From this vantage point, it was abundantly clear that a releasing of those good and perfect gifts was occurring, as I witnessed angels ascending and descending at the Father's command, also, hearkening unto the Voice of the Word, spoken through the Believer. Beautifully wrapped presents, representing Gifts of the Holy Spirit and facets of the Covenant, showered down on both the just and unjust alike, as fruit (of the Spirit)...love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance, against such there is no law, mixed with those meticulously prepared packages. While viewing the Creator's presentation, other objects were floating toward the earth, including much needed physical body parts from the Kingdom's anatomical warehouse, obviously facilitating healing and creative miracles, both required in fulfilling the Agreement and equipping the Army for His grand finale, a reversing of mankind's captivity. Gold was evident in that Latter Rain, indicative of Divine financial provision to perform God's perfect will of always having all sufficiency, in everything pertaining to life and godliness.

Without question, the revealed Word (vision) has already begun taking on flesh in the Body of Christ. Judgment, a positive one for the Household of Faith, is reversing the bondage of the past, removing weights and besetting sins. He is, indeed, doing a new thing, not by might, nor power, but by His Spirit! Yield to that wonderful process, as salvation is worked out from spirit and soul (mind, intellect, will and emotions), to that body, which He will certainly quicken...make fully alive, heal, to a point where the Law of Life will emanate from every pore. The Church is being prepared and positioned to literally glow with the Glory!

The Seated Christ!

"It is finished! Remember those hell-shaking words, spoken from that cross of love and obedience? Dear Child, I have done all to ensure certain victory. No stone was left unturned before the Savior's journey to His ultimate place of honor. The enemy has been totally defeated. He had nothing in Me. As Branches of the Vine, neither are you to be impacted or influenced in any manner by his wiles or threatenings. Recognize the authority behind every truth spoken through those lips of clay...yours. There is authority, a mighty Unction impregnating those audible Seeds of Life. And no revelation from Me is void of the Power necessary to bring forth manifestation, that which was revealed during those special moments together in the Throne Room. Don't fight! The battle has already been won. Simply know the Family's rights and privileges and speak what you hear in Dad's company. Have I not instructed you to come boldly, laying aside that contrary mindset of sin-consciousness? Guilt and shame are to be granted no place. To live is Christ! As I am, you have become, bone of Father's bone, flesh of His flesh. Don't be frightened by that bully!

Everything Father has and is backs the Youngsters, including each acted upon nudging and prompting. For it is I working in you, both to will and do of My good pleasure. Trust that explicitly. Acquaint yourself well with Our New and better Covenant. You are serving both a Risen and Seated Christ! The stage has been set for Satan's vital defeat in the eyes of the world. But that will have to be accomplished through yielded Vessels who are aptly versed regarding the Contract. The Church is to become a legal expert, instantly obedient in and out of season. No room remains for vacillation, halting between two opinions. Too much is hanging in the balance. So, open that Book. Allow your Teacher in residency to perform His task. He is willing and eager. Set aside tradition; embrace simplicity and inner holiness. What I'm about to do will transpire through the Kids, while Dad proudly watches the Apple of His Eye plunder hell and populate Heaven. Why question or doubt? Many are called, but few choose to go. However, you have made a quality decision, one from whence there is no return, to follow Me. Therefore, not a single hair on that head will perish. Ponder the backing of David against Goliath, Daniel in the lion's den, amongst others. Were they defeated or disappointed? Yet, you are living in an hour that no other generation has enjoyed, an era of unprecedented display and provision. Prepare for the greater works, while the Blood on the Mercy Seat imparts truth and backs it with an impartation that will turn this world upside down. As the Bride proceeds forward, all needs...spirit, soul, body, Anointing and finances, will be met, according to My riches in the unveiled Glory. No shortage exists in Daddy's locale. Make way. The show is about to begin!"

A Date With Dad!

"Beloved, your very breath is music to My ears. Please know how much you mean to Me. Nothing thrills this heart any more than when you spend those priceless moments with the One Who loves His Children best. There is so much I yearn to reveal. Satan has misrepresented this heart for centuries, promoting a belief that I am a mean, vengeful and uncaring God. Nothing could be more untruthful! The Church was made for fellowship and empowerment. Intimacy, revelation, incubation and manifestation are integral parts of the progression that brings forth the promises. No Child of Mine could ever overstay his welcome. As with Moses, the longer you remain in My Presence, the more potent that Anointing. In these days of the Spirit, Heaven's very Scent, that Throne Room Perfume, will literally be evident on those spending time with Me. I am a hands on Creator. Just as there was a walk together in the Garden at the beginning, such is to be the case in the present. Let's do that, again and again. Take Papa's hand, as you are led to those higher places, the depths of the Spirit, where what is not currently known will be revealed. All stops have been pulled! Establish a meeting date. I'll be there with the food, revelation and Glory!"

Trinity Broadcasting Network
Costa Mesa, California
January 11, 2000

Trinity Broadcasting Network, Costa Mesa, California, was the setting. Its Green Room had been chosen as the place. Dad reserved special plans for two of His Kids that evening, as Paul Crouch, President of TBN, and I prepared to do a live program of "Behind The Scenes."

Just forty-eight hours before the show, this Vessel had been holding special Miracle Services for The Branches Ministries in Greater Los Angeles, contemplating a previously published vision of an "Open Heaven," when a fragment of gold fell from my hair to the floor. That unexpected event was shared with those in attendance, as all examined the piece. The Lord received much praise, adding more manifestations to His work.

In front of TBN cameras, just prior to going "live," Paul and I noticed that a beautiful gold material was seemingly exuding through our pores...a first of what was to be a progressive manifestation unfolding before millions of viewers.

Suddenly, the red light illuminated, indicating the two of us were on-the-air. Needless to say, there was a third Man in attendance. The atmosphere became supercharged. This mind was upon the continually evolving miracle, unaware of the potential audience.

The Founder remarked, "It's in your hair, Paul." Instantly looking down, my hands were evidencing the welcomed, awe-inspiring invasion from Pop's Throne Zone. Neither of us would ever be the same after that rendezvous with destiny.

The substance, yet to be analyzed by two universities in California and Maine, was forming before our very eyes. Remaining focused was next to impossible for me, while solid droplets attached themselves to my friend's mustache and other features. Cameras zoomed in on large flecks, some of which we managed to remove with clear tape following the telecast. Could this be what may have profusely affixed itself to Moses? From this writer's perspective, I have never seen such magnificent material or illumination. There is no question in my spirit that the shining will increase in varied forms. Whether it's real gold or not remains irrelevant. We are to put Him first, strictly avoiding worshipping, or obsessing over, the sent, but the Sender, fully preaching the Truth, not solely concerning ourselves with signs and wonders, which are forwarded as a confirmation of His Word, affection, reality and Presence. For they will surely follow...the Godward side responding to the manward side. Let's concentrate on our Savior...the Author and Finisher of all faith. In so doing, the Lord's Church will be increased and blessed with a multitude of surprises as that attitude and behavior are embraced. Even if He were to refuse initiation of another miracle, which would surely never be the case, this boy is in love with Him, not based upon performance, but His beautiful heart!

Paul queried, "Have you ever encountered this before?" My answer was to the affirmative...just two days prior.

Millions enjoyed the occasion with us. And to think, one of Papa's signs and wonders was destined to surface at the right place and appropriate time, bringing heaps of glory, as well as honor, to the One Who so deeply loves the Church.

Well, the story didn't end there. Yesterday, the Holy Spirit instructed this Servant to open a Bible...Psalm 7. While ingesting the Word, my heart commenced to pound rapidly. Adrenaline was pumping. What was transpiring, once more? You guessed it! The page progressively took on a new veneer, brightly sparkling in the light, as gold flecks attached themselves to the paper. One of the pieces refused to be removed from its new and permanent home. As His Presence was welcomed, more would form!

What is transpiring, Paul? As related on TBN, I believe that, comparatively speaking, this is child's play, in light of the plans our wonderful Creator has in store for these final days. In my opinion, and it is only that, the White Stallion of Heaven is kicking up dust, knowing departure is nigh. Possibly Jesus is preparing to mount!

We must become more serious than ever before, totally sell out, laying aside those old theories and traditions that have negated the Word and sorely grieved the Spirit. The Church has turned that proverbial corner and entered a deeper realm of responsibility and Power. As with any soldier, there can be no turning back. Our mandate is to boldly go in and acquire the land, reversing captivity, restoring, reconciling, plundering hell while populating Heaven. The heathen belong to us, are our inheritance. "What should I do with them, Paul?" The answer is the Father's heartcry. Bring them into the House!

Without question, there will be doubters, of whom I was once chief. Another word for the aforementioned (gold) event is a wonder. Signs will make most of us wonder (signs and wonders). As for me, I desire all He is willing to send. Give us both barrels, Dad!

Haven't you had it with Satan's antics? This planet has become so desensitized that it complacently swallows and tolerates his exploits. Listen! God is mightier! If you don't believe that, position yourself in the arena of His performance...the Church. Our Preacher is at center stage! The Third Person of the Trinity is stirring on the inside, poised to prolifically edify the Kids. Are you ready?

Positive Contagion!

"Have I not said that the earth will be filled with the knowledge of God's Glory? Well, Child, this is merely the beginning, as Dad is about to blow your socks off with unthinkable signs, wonders and miracles, the Holy Spirit's dinner bell. Yes, the plan is far above what you are able to ask or think. In fact, at peak, most will perceive that they are dreaming! However, momentum will be gained by the hour and day. Man's natural mind will not be able to either keep up with, or comprehend what Dad is about to accomplish. Life will overcome death. Sickness, a negative contagion, must bend its knee to health, as will poverty to wealth, which is to arrive in varied forms. You have been promised all sufficiency in everything pertaining to life and godliness. Read the Book! Know that Covenant from cover to cover. Without fully appropriating what the Blood of the Lamb so lovingly purchased on the cross of obedience, My Children will not only be cheating themselves, but a world...people, hungering and thirsting for the real thing...a manifestation of the Sons and Daughters, of whom you are one! Please know that the Unction within possesses full ability to plunder hell and populate Heaven...precisely Father's plan. Become God-inside minded. Turn off all natural thoughts. Set aside agendas. Clear that mind. Think with your belly, bowels of compassion. Faith works by love. And love never fails. So, stick with that which has the Power necessary to bring itself to pass. A whole lot hangs in the balance!"

Excitement In Heaven!

"Recollect that vision of a tear in the Heavenlies, where gifts, fruit, gold and much needed body parts were channeling themselves in your direction. The fissure will ongoingly increase as you move forward in obedience to those nudgings and promptings on the inside. Oh, Beloved, I know the nay-sayers and doubters will be present. Love, but give them no thought. Just be about your Father's business. Don't play Holy Spirit. No man comes to Dad unless the Lover of Souls draws. Trust the Standby to do His job. He knows it well. Posture yourself, setting that face as flint toward the Throne, practicing my Presence, shifting over into the realm of the supernatural...which means extremely natural for the Youngsters. Take no thought. I will vindicate in every department. Refuse strife. But walk in love and peace. Apple of My Eye, Heaven has never witnessed such excitement and activity! The earth is filling with the knowledge of that Glory. Much more is on the way. We are talking about a torrential outpouring here! Become not weary in well doing. Due season is upon you!"
