"The people were all so amazed that they asked each other, 'What is this? A
new teaching...and with authority! He even gives orders to evil spirits and
they obey him.'" Mark 1:27
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone,
the new has come. All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through
Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling
the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he
has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ's
ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on
Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God." 2 Corinthians 5:17-20
"Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed...not only in my
presence, but now much more in my absence...continue to work out your salvation
with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and act
according to his good purpose." Philippians 2:12-13
I often contemplate Peter's innermost thoughts as he stepped out of that
boat at Jesus' invitation. Without question, he had experienced his fair share
of criticism for denying the Savior and being intimidated by governmental and
religious figures. Yet, at that moment of determination, as the wind and
waves promoted a potential move toward the miraculous, Peter ventured into the
unseen (faith) realm, without hesitation. The man's steps were certain. He
didn't sink. There was a Rock beneath him. In fact, the Lord's disciple was on
more solid footing than those declining the obvious opportunity.
Faith begins where the will of God is known. Peter, having gone from a wimp
to a Son of Thunder, sought the Creator's heart. Jesus had become more real
to him than his physical surroundings. The Word made Flesh spoke, and
corresponding actions culminated in a well documented manifestation. Atoms,
molecules and elements yielded to the Revelator's Voice. Peter, cognizant of that
marvelous invitational Presence, set aside the natural, enjoyed a previously
unknown side of the Redeemer, and he resoundingly made history!
We live in a world where people are richly dominated by their senses,
through tasting, seeing, hearing, feeling and smelling. Have you ever contemplated
the fact that most of us are often deceived when trusting physical
perceptions, since things are rarely as they appear? You and I will never be satisfied
as passengers in a little boat. Not unlike our Leader, we love the miraculous
and will only be satisfied by doing business in the depths of unchartered
waters. "Supernatural remains our middle name. We hunger for and seek the
previously invisible for one primary purpose, transporting Heaven to earth, and
benefiting humanity via Christ's finished work.
One might exclaim, "Seeing is believing!" Well, to some extent that's true.
However, in God's inverted, yet, more accurate system, the opposite maintains
greater validity. Believing is seeing, a place where the Believer calls
those things that be not as though they were, until each becomes.
Remember...the Word became flesh and dwelt among men. Which came first? The
answer to that question is clear...the Word, that awesome blueprint the
Father gestated and embraced on the inside. At a specific point He spoke, and
substance was added to vision.
Destiny makes itself known through dreams and visions. I cannot adequately
emphasize the importance of trusting that peaceful stirring within one's
spirit, those nudgings and promptings from the Throne Room. Quite often, the
"knowing" is accompanied by a gift of faith for what God has revealed. The realness
of that hope (blueprint of faith...the end product) becomes more potent than
the seen, or temporal, causing the latter to pale by comparison. We actually
learn to walk in the realm of revelatory vision, embracing, gestating and
birthing Covenant's promises.
Think of each revelation as a Seed from Heaven, implanted within your womb
to bear fruit. What does the New Testament say about that Divine impartation?
Immediately, not in a day or two, but right away, the enemy comes to rob
Heaven's Seed. How does he do that? The cares of this world (what individuals
generally care, worry and obsess about), along with the deceitfulness of riches
(not having enough, possessing too much, saluting flesh through the influence
of the influential) are tools of his trade.
I often reflect upon what the Spirit once shared..."Paul, Jesus will
initially arrive in Presence, then in Person." Simply stated, this world will be
full of knowledge, pertaining to His Glory, before our Savior transports the
Bride in His Cloud of Condensation ... manifestation, those "greater works than
these."
Each hour is loaded with opportunities to lose focus. Cultivating vertical
intimacy with the Author and Finisher of Faith remains paramount. Even the
cream of the crop will be deceived in these final days, without that
orientation. However, he who dwells in the Secret Place will surely receive
unconditional love, inspired guidance, as well as strategy for destiny, protection and
empowerment.
The Christian's job is to maintain simplicity by being true to his vision,
while not disobeying or venturing beyond that Anointing. The precious Holy
Spirit has a job to do, as He takes hold together with us in everything
pertaining to life and godliness. Each eye must perpetually be on Him, as the Church
fulfills Her mandate of making disciples of all men, restoring and
reconciling what was originally lost as a direct result of the fall.
Of utmost importance is walking in love...the Father's! Faith works that way,
and His affection never fails. Contemplate this fact every moment of the
day. During Jesus' ministry here, He would catch the fish before cleaning them.
Nothing has changed. We must do the same by loving each sinner, recognizing
the Holy Spirit's responsibility of transformation, changing those dirty
diapers, assisting each Infant in a straightening up of his act...that Glory to
Glory process.
Signs and wonders are the dinner bell of the Holy Spirit. They are His bait,
so to speak. The Fragrance of God's love invariably draws multitudes into the
Kingdom's Restaurant of satiation, where a table has been set in the
presence of enemies to counter captivity in all departments...from healing to
provision!
I discern the Revelator has more to say about this matter.
"Beloved, salvation for spirit, soul, body, finances...total prosperity, will
be made so simple and clear for everyone in these days of revelation and
manifestation. Satan has been permitted to confuse and muddy the waters for far
too long. Please know, I have personally drawn a line in the sand through a
revelation in you, that vision within, those bowels of compassion, a place
where, together, We will permit him to steal no longer. As with that well known
woman suffering with an issue of blood, your obedience places a demand on My
virtue and ability. Indeed, even as I speak, your intercessory prayers and
acts are drawing from Glory's reservoir. Reflect on the value of signs and
wonders emanating from a mindset of alleviating the byproducts (consequences) of
sin...sickness, suffering, poverty and death. In terms of souls, how many
would gladly enter the Kingdom, once My true heart and nature were revealed? May
I use a visual and practical example? Walk into a funeral home. Speak to
that little one in the casket, as directed by Me. When, not if, she arises, a
multitude of previously silent questions will be answered. Think of the people
who will gladly flow into the House through that act (Book of Acts) of love!
As someone once said, 'Actions speak louder than words.' I fully agree! In
former days, many were added, Churchwise, in direct proportion and response to
a miracle. You see, it isn't so much the signs and wonders that matter,
although fully preaching the Gospel and being approved of God assuredly involve
them, but what counts is that open display of truth...what really is going on
in Dad's thoughts. More lies have been propagated and believed about Me, than
you! But did I not promise vindication of the Bride and the Word in Her? As
the record is set straight, spiritual cataracts and, in some cases, total
blindness will be remedied. Occupants of this planet must become aquatinted with
their God's heart and posture, just as I Am known in the Throne Room. Those
in the Valley of Decision are to be enlightened and cross over into the Land
of Promise. No excuse for unbelief will stand, since the upcoming harvest is
not only great...prolific in the miraculous, but will be loaded with convicted
skeptics! Let My Glory do the job! Goodness and mercy, Heaven's Twins, will
follow you throughout that ministry. Use them as lethal weapons against the
adversary!"
"The flood is approaching! Build that ark, Beloved! Let the critics taunt and
laugh. Nevertheless, you are marching to the beat of a different Drummer,
poised to do great business in a world that needs love in so many ways...word,
thought and deed. Just as the first man...Adam, was put to sleep by the
Creator for a work of the miraculous, Jesus went through a similar process in the
tomb, an experience which resulted in a mighty manifestation of resurrection
on that third day. Such is the case with you, Dear One. During each lull,
those quiet, seemingly unproductive periods, a preparation is taking place. The
Sleeping Giant remains poised to arise in the Cloud of My Presence, where
signs and wonders will be secondary to the Glory. It will be a position of
absolute revelation, regarding your Creator's love and destiny for each life,
those rights and privileges in Our Covenant. The hour is quickly approaching
when humanity will fall on their faces before Me, even in the strangest of
places. In fact, that is precisely where I will move first...the dark regions
where My Word has been dormant and ineffective. During that moment, spiritual
cataracts must yield to a proliferation of Light and Life, while people behold
the Author and Finisher of their faith, a first time encounter for many. And
with that wonderful unveiling of the Contract will arrive instant healing,
empowerment, prosperity, a Supernatural knowing of who the Children are in
Christ. Precious Bride, health and sufficiency are only a small part of what the
Blood has provided. They are to be automatic, with no exclusions or
exceptions. Much of what the Church has been seeking in prayer belongs to Her already
(Covenant). This unprecedented Army will be catapulted to the four corners of
the earth with a single eye...that of reconciling, restoring, setting the
captive free and possessing the land. Rejoice in Our pending Third
(resurrection) Day! Nothing, and no one, will ever be the same. A new level of worship and
praise has already begun impacting the Youngsters, one in which God's
habitation is experientially visible in numerous forms...Pillars of Smoke, Fire and
creative acts from the Throne. There won't be a spot on this planet that is
absent of Glory's Essence and Nature. Just as the Spirit brooded over an
earth that was void and without form, so will He do that again...from seminary to
the cemetery! The spoken dream or vision, that acted upon internal stirring,
in many instances, will result in an immediate display of tangibility.
Understand, patient Intercessor, no moment has been lost in that season of
waiting. Again, the Agent of form and substance is at the starting line, eagerly
anticipating an onslaught of activity that will turn nations around in a day.
Your hour has come! Impossible has no place in this Commander's vocabulary.
Heaven's Delivery Room joyfully anticipates an unparalleled arrival of Little
Ones! Strictly adhere to, and depend upon, the Covenant, Anointing and Glory.
No man knows the exact hour. However, Heaven has ordained you to recognize
seasons. The Tide is approaching! Nothing can prevent this move. Prepare to
launch out into the depths of your sustained call, and do business in deep waters
where the most fish reside...yes, even the big ones! The sunny beach
(comfort zone) will no longer be peaceful and fulfilling in these marvelous days of
newness. Sense that dissatisfaction. It is assuredly of Me. Therein lies the
substance of vision and Creation's grand finale!"
