From the Desk of Doctor Paul ..."And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the Garden in the cool of the day..." Genesis 3:8
"So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." Romans 10:17
"And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice." John 10:4
"Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles..." Luke 11:49
Judy listened intently, as the Word went forth during a Miracle Service that would forever impact her life. A testimony was in the process of being birthed by the influence of that One richly abiding on the inside of every Believer. She was positioning herself for a miracle!
In this day and age, there are so many questions concerning Dad's will to reconcile and restore. But contemplate the marvelous ministry of Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith. For three-and-a-half years, He went about doing good, healing all oppressed of the enemy, purporting, "The works you see me doing are exactly what I witness in the Throne Room, where Father and Child fellowship together. And even greater exploits than these are you to do, since it's expedient (in your best interest, really) that I go to be with Dad."
The Master was, and is, the Word made Flesh...the same, yesterday, today and forever, dwelling amongst a hungering and thirsting world through the Body. Never once did He implant a tumor within, or on those who looked to Him in faith. Neither did our Savior kill or injure a single human-being while walking the face of this planet. Instead, Jesus turned the captivity of mankind, plundering hell with every utterance, even when taking those last, excruciating breaths on the cross. Nothing rolled past Jesus' lips but forgiveness, healing, deliverance, Resurrection Power. And, as He is, we have become this very moment. The Church has indeed been empowered to populate Heaven with that identical Blood-bought Glory, embracing the same authority He had when walking this soil two-thousand years ago.
However, we must completely sell out and maintain an ear to hear what Papa has to say, since life and death hang in the balance of acquiring that new identity in Him, along with our willingness to remain obedient and crucified in Christ. This young girl's very future depended upon the Sender and the Called, as Heaven looked on with excitement.
Judy pondered the message that day, while I listened for that still, small Voice, knowing so much hung in the balance of a clear mind...my total surrender and obedience to Father. Such is the case with you, as well. Life or death will be determined by your commitment and readiness.
"If Paul calls me by name, specifically relating my condition...a tumor in the right breast, I will know it's you, Lord, and go forward. Aside from that, I'm not moving!"
The young girl was about to receive Papa's response. "There is an individual present with a mass in her breast. Jesus wants to make you whole, Judy." His message was delivered, exactly as it resonated in my spirit. Her requirements were fully met.
Within seconds, Judy bolted to the auditorium's front, was overcome by His Presence and completely restored to normalcy. A biopsy and subsequent surgery would have to be canceled. Her test had become a testimony! Christ was glorified, as intimacy with the Creator assumed a new plateau in that Child's walk.
Over the past several months, I have pondered Y2K, witnessing fear and confusion concerning this issue, both in and outside the Body of Christ. Nothing but anticipation and joy would constantly invade my spirit, as He impressed the importance of adhering to the Word and listening for that still, small Voice in matters pertaining to life and godliness. When asked about the year two-thousand, this Servant shared from his spirit. A few seemed disappointed, and certainly unbelieving, in the prophetic insight. That was troubling. But I knew He had spoken.
We are to lay aside the mindsets and weights of the past. The Body of Christ is no longer there. A newness has begun invading the Church. I am tired of the old, which hasn't really worked very well. Let's get to know our Dad, as never before. He yearns to reveal Himself and place a new song in every heart.
The Holy Spirit is present to accord what we need in possessing that marvelous land for Him. As with Judy, all the Christian must do is call. And Dad will surely answer, travel more than half way in meeting each need, according to His riches in Glory!
He has so much to reveal, regarding this new season the Body has just entered. The Word of the Lord is rich, as that beautiful Presence fills this room. Fasten your seat belt, as we travel together into the depths of the Spirit!
"My Voice has been out there, dear Child. I have spoken clearly through the
prophets, via the written and revealed Word. This is, indeed, a time to
embrace the whole counsel of God and hear what the Spirit is saying,
regarding the Church and this day. Has He not consistently commanded each
Member to flee from fear, the bipolar opposite of faith, and walk in the
fulness of Our Covenant? My plans for you, Precious One, are good. There is
an awe-inspiring future and hope in Dad's blueprint, with no undefeated
giants in your land. For I have gone to prepare a large place for each
Youngster, a location flowing with milk and honey. Listen to this certain
word of prophecy! The best is yet to manifest. That which has been in your
heart is a Seed, programmed to yield fruit from the inside out...salvation to
the uttermost...healing, health, deliverance, favor, safety and provision.
Take another look at that dream, or vision, received during those special
moments with Me. Inherent within your revelation is the Power (dunamus)
necessary to bring itself to pass. There has been a magnificent shifting in
the heavenlies, a casting aside of demonic forces that have attempted to
delay delivery of answers and promises. Nothing can hold this Parent back,
now! Concerns over Y2K have been a negative smokescreen meant to obscure
Truth, that script from the Creator's Hand, containing plans to knock the
socks off a generation of skeptics with a proliferation of signs, wonders and
miracles, the likes of which have never been encountered throughout history.
Y2K is an occasion for celebration. All is new...everything! However, you
must unconditionally surrender and trust, as the Author and Finisher of your
faith, the Great General, calls each shot. Repent of fear. That spirit can no
longer be granted any place. As I am, you have become in this world. And
literally, there is to be a performance of those mightier works. Father was
not just idly chatting when that command was issued. The strategy for filling
this planet with Glory will be related to the Church, as She remains poised
to receive. Remember, expectancy is the breeding ground of miracles!"
"Heaven's best is heading in your direction! Hear the Word of the Lord. Has
it not been written that I will appear unto your joy (Isaiah 66:5)? My day
of visitation is joyfully here...a selected period when the Anointing and
Unction will overshadow people, places and yes...even whole cities. Angelic
forces have been released to work with those who have been specifically
called to perform exploits in that Name above all others. As soon as the Word
is spoken, there will be a corresponding manifestation. Often, before you
even call, Dad plans to answer. Obedience to that sophisticated Radar System
within, will produce the unimaginable and previously unthinkable. There are
to be meetings where all will be saved and healed! Isn't that is total
agreement with the Word? Where sin, or its byproducts, abounds, grace should
much more gain victory! Darkness doesn't displace light. But light dispels
darkness! Oh, the praises of angels will be clearly discerned, as well.
Again, prepare for the magnificent! Lean not unto your own understanding.
Humanity cannot fathom what is about to take place. This is it! Sin,
sickness, poverty and death will bend their knees to the Glory!"
"Read the Contract, Chosen Vessel! Do you know what the Father has to say
about His Kids? No longer is the Believer to be the tail, but the head, far
from all oppression, blessed going out and coming in, always having complete
sufficiency, possessing the excellency of that Power on the inside.
Furthermore, Beloved, those enemies are to be seen no more. You are bone of
Daddy's bone, flesh of His flesh. Before Satan can touch the Bride, he will
have to deal with the Groom and Me! And, take it from Papa, the defeated
prince of darkness is not thrilled about that idea! Be aware of this! The
power of life and death remains in the tongue. Whatever you say will surely
come to pass, since there is a new Anointing on the spoken Word. A tear
between Heaven and earth has been achieved. Consequently, the two have never
been closer than they are, right now. The contents of one are dropping into
the other. As an added benefit, My Voice has gained more clarity and
amplification. Understand, walking in the Spirit is similar to shifting gears
in an automobile. But the Christian has to decide and initiate. Nothing can
prevent you from remaining in that Secret Place of the Most High, under the
Shadow of the Almighty! The Cloud has begun forming. As the Body gathers
together in Jesus' Name, fruits and gifts will fall, including the Spirit of
Prophecy (Christ). That Wave is swelling. High tide is about to strike planet
earth!"
So many in the Church are seeking answers to everyday problems and struggles.
Often, notes and theories are shared. Yet, we still have questions that
remain unresolved. Is that the way it's supposed to be amongst those who have
been granted so much Power and authority? The answer is a resounding...No!
In agreement with Mark 9:23, we must believe that God still speaks to His
Children through the Lamb's Blood on the Mercy Seat. His very heartcry
articulates revelation, as everything Dad desires for this world is
contingent upon a hearing ear and yielded heart. Let's look at a few of the
ways the Revelator conveys Heaven's design.
The Christian can hear the Voice of God through the written Word. This
requires us to spend quality time, on a daily basis, in the Book of Life,
permitting the Holy Spirit to quicken Scriptures, making them alive and
relevant. That is one of His assigned tasks.
Daddy speaks to some through dreams and vision...His language, if you will.
When a night vision (dream) is from Him, it must firmly agree with the Book
and magnify Jesus. The same holds true for visions. In this new millennium,
we should anticipate more revelational gifts to stream down from that
Heavenly opening.
Prophecy is another means utilized by Papa in speaking to the Church.
Frequently, a prophecy will confirm what the Lord has already spoken to the
Believer. This is the day of the apostle and prophet. He can do nothing
without first revealing His will to the latter, who affords utterance for
purpose of manifestation. Always run what is received through the grid of
your Spirit, since the Third Person of the Trinity is commissioned to provide
a witness, one way or the other. The Master placed all trust in the Paraclete
(Spirit)...our precise link to the Throne Zone. Without Him, we can't make
it; and even the very elect will be fooled.
The Lord can transfer His blueprint through our desires, since He works in
each Child both to will and do of the Creator's good pleasure. When a leading
just doesn't leave, sort of remains in your heart, it may well be from God,
particularly if fulfillment of the revelation will result in a magnification
of Him and bring glory to the Kingdom.
The inner-witness and peace are to be the umpire of your heart. Listening to
that man on the inside (inner-man) will usually tell the story, determine
whether or not a word is from Dad.
I like this! "And let the peace (harmony) from Christ rule (act as the
umpire...deciding factor) in your hearts (determining and settling with
finality, questions that arise in that mind) to which as (Members of
Christ's) one body you were also called (to live)...(Colossians 3:15).
Welcome Y2K! We are armed and ready!
