From the Desk of Doctor Paul ..."That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish." Ephesians 5:27
"Who shall also confirm you to the end, that ye may be blameless (perfected in spirit, soul and body) in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ." 1 Corinthians 1:8
"And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ...." 1 Thessalonians 5:23
Southern California, for some reason, always reflects a special Presence whenever this Servant visits or holds special Miracle Rallies in the region. Today is no exception, as the flowers deliver a unique fragrance that can only originate in the Throne room, while stately palm trees wave their long extensions, seemingly basking in the Power behind their very existence. Everything appears to be awaiting a manifestation of the sons and daughters of God...that awe-inspiring final display of Father's grandeur.
How privileged we are to be His Kids, with the Holy Spirit taking up residency on the inside, ensuring accuracy and success. You and I actually possess a keen ability to hear that Special Voice and manifest those greater works, carrying Jesus' transferred torch, running His victorious race with a proliferation of signs, wonders and miracles. The confidence is there. We've read the end of the Book.
Believer, you are the Apple of Papa's eye. God's primary focus is on humanity. He is constantly seeking an available Vessel to stand in the gap for the lost, sick, hurting and dying, a conduit through whom Heaven's Glory will reverse the captivity of sin and pain. Our response..."Yes, Father, send me!"
Westbrook College (Maine) was the place. Its student body were the people. Life would never be the same for scores who had destined themselves for a rendezvous with Christ. He was not about to disappoint the crowd.
The auditorium was packed for the first of what would become many visits. I pensively stood before a seemingly skeptical, indifferent group of predominantly female participants. With feet on seat backs and arms crossed, there is no question they were sizing me up, wondering what could possibly come from this man standing before them. I was somewhat in agreement. In my natural mind, the answer to that question was clear....Nothing!
However, the Sender had other plans, as He clearly spoke. "Paul, I did not establish you to this place for failure, but absolute victory. Those seated are hurting in numerous ways. Speak the Word. Simply be Heaven's lightning rod, as I place a smile on their faces through your yieldedness."
Isn't the Comforter wonderful? Always wait upon Him, when in those tough places of life. He will grant words and Unction for all occasions. Turn off that head. Lean not unto your own understanding, as the Standby directs every step. He won't be late. Faith never really is.
A Divine boldness was instantly imparted. I then was made cognizant of God's plan and purpose. Paul was to deliver the Kingdom's Word and Power, overcoming evil with good, permitting the curse to be reversed within the Creator's pride and joy...His people! After all, He sent Heaven's Best, two-thousand years ago. Why would the Author of Faith stop at that point?
Revelation knowledge richly impregnated the message. Souls quickly responded, lining the room's front and ultimately horizontally carpeting the floor, overcome by the precious Holy Spirit. The natural had connected with the Supernatural. Something had to give. It did...the former! Salvation, healing and deliverance swiftly ensued, as wave after wave bathed every atom and fiber of those on the carpeted floor. The rest is history. One student submitted the following testimony. Stephanie truly said it well:
"We thoroughly enjoyed the services at Westbrook College. Many healings were reported, and scores experienced being overcome by the Power of God. This remarkably changed many lives! Students came forward, accepting Christ, were filled with the Spirit. My close friend, Jane, was healed of a terrible stomach ulcer that doctors couldn't seem to combat. Paul prayed for her, and she remained on the floor for some time. Another girl I know well, Laurie, was made whole of a severe endocrine imbalance. All were thrilled with the wonderful move of the Father in each meeting."
To this day, I can envision those beaming, radiant girls, weeping and embracing one another, a far cry from elevated sneakers on chairs, staring me in the face, hours before the Heavenly visitation. A few minutes with Him can change your world. It did theirs!
The Revelator is here with some Fresh Bread for today's feast!
"Dad's Children are to know His Voice. Just as Moses and Jesus shone during
their earthly ministries, you are to visibly shine with the excellency of My
Power. The previously existing vacuum in that Vessel is being filled with the
identical Atmosphere and Essence permeating the Throne Zone. Heaven is
invading earth! Nothing can resist the outpouring through that recent tear
between the two locales. Discern Father's invigorating Presence! My will is
to be accomplished here (earth), exactly as it exists there (Heaven). The
forces of darkness are backing off, since the Almighty is personally
overpowering evil with good. The work that I am about to perform through the
Bride will not only turn the captivity of multitudes, but tangibly beautify
the Church (Bride) for Her Groom. In these final days of the Spirit, all the
Body must do is be obedient to the nudgings and promptings. I will work and
manifest at the other end of the revealed Word. Just stand there, having done
everything ordained, and enjoy a display of death-destroying Life. In the
process, the Kid's will actually glow with the Anointing, materializing the
seen from the unseen. Understand, this latter is greater than the former.
Trust not in the sense realm. That can be deceiving. Go with your heart.
Stick with My quickened, made alive Word! This is a time for celebration, a
transformation from Glory to Glory by the Agent of Modification. Weights and
sin-consciousness are being set aside, exchanged for the Impartation.
Forgetting those things which are behind remains vital. There is no future in
the past. Every moment is new, loaded with potential intimacy with Dad. I
have a plan for each second of your walk. Daddy's Youngsters are the
Trinity's focal point, the spout where the Glory comes out. You are the
transmission line between God's heartcry and that subsequent manifestation.
Again, the old has passed away, been remitted...obliterated, making way for
the new. Forget those sins of yesteryear. Prophetically see self and others
through a single eye of faith, so the whole Body can be filled with Light.
That can easily be done, since the Mind of Christ permanently abides,
conveying My will in everything relevant to life and ministry. The Blood has
done it all. Nothing is to be withheld, as precious feet carry the Glorious
Gospel to the four corners of the earth!"
"The key to victory, Precious Child, is a knowledge that the seen was made by
that which cannot be envisioned. Whatever is perceived by the senses exists
in a realm of inconsistency, change and illusion. That is precisely why the
Church has been commanded to call those things which be not as though they
were, until they become. Is My arm shortened at all, that it cannot redeem?
Or have I no Power to deliver? At Daddy's rebuke, the sea responded. Rivers
were established in the wilderness. Such will be the case with you. Don't be
moved by the physical eye or ear. A Higher Power made both of them! Go with
what you know in the spirit man. The Third Person of the Trinity is committed
to revelation and won't mess with your head. Believe that! He will not give
the Bride a stone for a loaf of bread. Be consistent! Be consistent! Be
consistent! What was revealed in that Secret Place must be championed,
nurtured and sustained. So many are seeking immediate results. Become not
weary in well doing by believing the implanted vision or dream, embracing the
Covenant. In due season you will reap. The enemy of one's soul would want to
promote fainting. But that won't be permitted. Contemplate how I fed the
multitude, unless they might not complete their homeward journey. Am I any
less dedicated to you? Once more, trust not in the temporal, but espouse the
spiritual. Protect, meditate upon and confess our dream, as Daddy strengthens
knees, placing a spring in your step and new song in that heart. The temporal
is about to give way, birthing the promise!"
