"Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations." Psalm 100:4-5

"But now that you know God...or rather are known by God, how is it that you are turning back to those weak and miserable principles? Do you wish to be enslaved by them all over again?" Galatians 4:9

"For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:17-18

"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." Galatians 6:9

"For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay." Habakkuk 2:3

Years ago, after tenures with the Maine Broadcasting System (News Director), NBC News, New York, and two Medical Centers, the last of which involved the founding of this nation's first HMO, the Lord clearly broke that natural pattern and called me into a signs and wonders ministry. Miracle services were held all over American and some parts of this world, from Christ For The Nations in Dallas, to the Port-au-Prince, Haiti.

Seemingly, the Holy Spirit had me on a roll. I delighted in breaking outside of the box and pioneering the novel. Ninety-nine to one-hundred percent of everyone prayed for, and some not even touched, fell under the Power of God, and I'm talking about multiple thousands everywhere. It wasn't at all uncommon to step off a given platform and experience a "thud," as men, women and children dropped to the floor, and remained there for lengthy periods.

His Presence was, and still is, very much with me. Salvations, healings, the prophetic, signs and wonders that would stagger most imaginations, abounded, as the Holy One sent us into the driest and darkest of places for a manifestation of the Creator's Glory. Little did I know of the various stops along the way, for growth, blessing, Divine glorification and promotion. I contemplate that great Trinity Broadcasting Network manifestation of Gold Dust before untold millions around the world, as Dr. Paul Crouch and I conversed over "live" television. When fulfilling Divine appointments, God's unprecedented often becomes the norm.

During that unfolding journey, a remarkably special man entered my life...Ed Chapman, who resided in Central Maine, with his wife and son. We had named one of our children, Jeremy, after his son. I was instantly drawn to Ed, like a magnet to iron. Little did this writer know what God had in mind through the obedience of my personal call to "stand with him." That had become Heaven's mandate for the hour, which would last for the remainder of Ed's life.

Within a short period thereafter, I was appointed Chief Operating Officer of Gracelawn Memorial Park by Ed, a most beautiful traditional cemetery that housed Maine's crematory. At that point, my friend was able to retire, purchase a yacht, and head for Florida with his precious family.

Gracelawn, a facility that has been around for decades, was dedicated to the Lord, when Ed acquired the property. Needless to say, hurting people, having lost loved ones, some suddenly, sat in my office on almost a daily basis, grieving and formulating plans to honor their beloved. You could feel His Presence there, in a remarkable way. My father and daughter are both interred on the grounds. Gracelawn resembles a giant park, with beautiful flowers, trees, shrubs and statues.

More than once, I earnestly questioned Heaven. "Why on earth did you place me here, amongst the deceased?" Jokingly, we would often talk about an associated, commissioned unction to raise the dead in this work. Shifting bodies around, in and outside the crematory, wasn't ringing the highest proverbial bell for me, although that experience was surely symbolic of the Lord's miraculous resurrection empowerment to come.

In late adolescence, I cannot accurately recount how many had been embalmed by me, one of New England's youngest funeral practitioners. And to think, as a youngster, aside from spiders and snakes, nothing frightened Paul Gervais more than the deceased! After attending a wake or funeral, sleeping, when possible, within an illuminated bedroom for weeks was the norm. That light never went off. Satan was obviously challenging a future anointing by cultivating that type of fear.

Nevertheless, while performing intricate surgical and restorative procedures in the embalming room, something was surprisingly noticed. A new transition prompted a totally different mindset about the matter. I wasn't afraid any more. God reframed and restructured death for me. He ventured back into my past and rewrote the previously negative story, those misconceptions of man's transition to Glory.

Each decedent appeared indeed empty. There just wasn't anyone home! In essence, every procedural encounter, in my spirit, seemed like dealing with nail clippings or hair, falling from a barber's chair. Again, the "real person" was absent. I was simply dealing with an earth suit. All fright and intimidation vanished. I became one of the best embalmers in the state, and was recognized for such. Former enemies were to be seen no more. The Great Resurrection had become my Boss!

You see, everything has a time and place. In moving forward, pieces of the puzzle, assembled by the Master Designer, come together and progressively form a sensible, understandable portrayal of destiny. No wonder the Lord instructed the Bride to lean not unto natural understanding. We are to have our being, and walk, in the moment. Today's sunshine isn't yesterday's. Neither will it be tomorrow's. Sufficient unto the day is all we need to vitally defeat the devil and glorify the Holy One.

Manna fell from Heaven, directly in front of the Children of Israel, not on top of, or behind them. Naturally, they insisted on hoarding a considerable supply of Heaven's Sustenance, for a single reason, to comfort their flesh. The Apple of God's Eye complained and consequently never entered His haven of preparation and blessing...the Promised Land, at least, not that particular generation. And to think, they could have bolted right into Glory's abode. Their words preceded and facilitated defeat.

In my life, had a single facet of the previously shared assignments and positions been shunned, some of which culminated in national and international awards and recognitions, I wouldn't be where God has placed His Servant today. Boston once honored me with the Bell Ringer Award. Representatives from the Massachusetts Governor's Office, and many other dignitaries, were present, as Tom Jarriel, ABC News, made the presentation to this young administrator and broadcaster.

Many of the medically-oriented programs, seen today, were birthed out of that vision from Heaven and imparted at MaineGeneral, while I was seated in an office with both feet on my desk. One word from the Holy Spirit can turn this world upside down. From a Throne Room thought to a resultant act, the lifesaving concept..."Health Education of the Citizenry, via Radio and Television," lead to receipt of the Malcolm MacEachern, M. D., Citation, at the National Health Congress in Chicago, with an attendance of fifteen-thousand allied professionals. Other acknowledgements were to ensue, while various nations appropriated the concept.

Oh, how I appreciate those Divine interrupts in worldly patterns! As a Clinician with four State licenses, Ministry of Miracles remains first place in my heart and life. Serving patients at the Clinic is secondary to operating in the Supernatural...God's Spirit. Ed Chapman's influence in my personal walk facilitated our current day outreach. He kept me focused, centered and on track. Without him, a big piece of me, inclusive of Heaven's message, wouldn't exist.

A week ago, Ed completed morning devotions with his wife, Charlane. We had planned on having dinner together soon, which was routine in the relationship. Incidentally, Ed would do anything for me. I was like a son to him. One day he called, announcing, "I am giving you a Cadillac. The Lord told me to do that." Shortly after closing his Bible, Charlane and he took their daily walk. Upon returning, his lovely wife entered their home, breaking the pace of the stroll. Ed didn't. This man, who was like a Dad and meant everything in the world to me, kept on walking, right into the arms of Jesus.

During Sunday's Memorial Service, Auburn's First Baptist Church was packed beyond capacity. Ed's little urn had been positioned in the midst of numerous floral arrangements. The visual moved me beyond comprehension. There are no tears left in my body. Death sorely shakes Heaven and earth. It isn't right! Seated in that building, I needed a quickening from the Holy Spirit, and He was faithful to respond.

You see, Ed had invented what is known as "The Power Cube," a semiconductor that effectively disseminates various voltages to sophisticated devices, generating electricity from the sunlight. That was in the 70's. Ed had been given a creative vision. He invented a soon-to-be sought semiconductor, which would keep America on track and ultimately impact all nations.

NASA was readying for their manned moon shot...Apollo 11. The Agency had a problem. "How do we supply the varied electrical demands of our cameras, the spacecraft and other gear?"

Someway, somehow, that Government Agency learned of Ed's invention. He received a call form Houston. A pre-determined amount of room, the size of a small refrigerator, had been allocated for the piece. Ed undoubtedly surprised NASA's scientists and technicians, by describing the dimensions of the "Cube," which was less than a square inch! I have a few of them, kicking around the house. The day he gave me those "Power Cubes" was movingly special. A leaping of my spirit underscored the significance of that little fragment of metal, placed in my hand.

Sunday, at that East Auburn Baptist Church, the Revelator exclaimed..."Paul, Ed and I saw NASA's need long before they even knew it existed!"

Before we call, the Almighty answers, doesn't He? Apollo 11 wouldn't have happened then, without Ed Chapman and the manifestation of that Supernatural answer! Every pertinent NASA photo you will ever see, from and of the moon, exists because of Ed. "Destiny" was written all over that deal!

Once more, the Memorial Service was loaded with people who had been touched by my second earthly Father. "And their works do follow them!" Without even being there, Ed Chapman filled that auditorium! Through his death, transition and promotion, the Spirit of God moved on hearts and packed that sanctuary with grateful souls, bursting at the seams to attest of one man's obedience, availability, sensitivity and love, telling us how the Lord used Ed Chapman in leading them to their cross and call. Jesus drew the multitudes by that very same love, didn't He?

"Precious Child, I've heard your cries and have stored all tears. Does a good parent not drop everything and run toward that little one who physically or emotionally seeks comfort and remedy?The Great I Am forever lives for the Beloved. Not a hair on each head has gone unnoticed. Like the sparrow, even those that have fallen to the ground remain numbered and noted. You see, that body, containing the Believer's committed life, is no longer his own, as each has been bought with a price...the Lamb's shed Blood on Calvary's Hill. Even those in the grave have been deemed Seeds, planted and poised for resurrection, a harvest of Life, the likes of which haven't been witnessed to date, on planet earth. Death remains alien to the body, as sin is to the soul. Never forget this fact, as it will remain the foundation from which the Church will move forward, raising the dead, healing the sick, casting out devils, all translating into fully preaching the Gospel with Heaven's unwavering approval. Where sin, sickness, poverty and death abound, remedy is much more in abundance. My arm is not shortened, that it can not resurrect and heal. In fact, prophetically, this very moment, I relate with all certainly that this hand has been extended in the direction of the nations, those soon-to-be-taken steps, for the express purpose of confirming the Word, past, present and future, with signs following. Signs and wonders are for both the Jew and Gentile. Without the miraculous, life, fragile at that, would proceed as usual. A sword without the ability to abate evil is useless. The Word possesses an edge, literally and figuratively. Let it never be said or implied that the Most High takes lives because He needs an angel or flower in Heaven. The Risen Christ is the Great Resurrection, your Wonderful Counselor and Prince of Peace. He never has been, or will be, a Child beater. Direct or contributory negligence doesn't exist in Dad's vocabulary. Even in Old Testament days, whenever their God pronounced judgement, one was never in question or doubt about the Source. Nevertheless, Christ has forever settled the sin issue. Thus, healing, prosperity, favor, provision and abundance lie within His finished work. We will talk later about the 'Blood Line' and 'Evidence,' through, and of which, you have become. The Throne is limited to the good and perfect. The Great Physician doesn't require mal-practice insurance, as He knows how to deliver the goods and heal all oppressed of the devil. Ponder the meaning of ethics. Do no harm! What is about to unfold before the eyes of millions will, once and for all, settle the issue of where evil originates. Cooperate with the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus, that of sowing unto the Spirit and reaping from the Glory. The Kingdom has been likened unto a seed. I planted Jesus, Who sowed you...the Church, Branches of the Vine, from which fruits of the miraculous are Divinely distributed and exponentially multiplied. You see, one miracle generates two or more, paying forward into tomorrow's harvest. The contrariness in that walk is a spiritually gravitational pull, attempting to sidetrack and discourage the Army. Ready yourself for this morsel of truth. If hell had been able to stop anything at all, it would have most assuredly been your salvation. Darkness failed in that category, making way for this promise. He, who has begun a good work you, shall complete it. From a scientific vantage point, the earth generates a negative propensity, while the heavenlies generate a positive influence. The former attracts the latter, and the latter influences the former, similar to the poles of a battery. Power cannot manifest without either. Thunder, lightning and rain are the Creator's way of bringing all into balance, correcting the atmosphere and environment. Think it not strange when tested by fiery trials. I Am in that fire! The smell of smoke won't touch Heaven's Kids. We will fight fire with 'Fire,' while those snakes of oppression are swallowed up before the eyes of all! Heaven's spillage will balance the books in miraculous fashion. Indiana and Kentucky are about to convulse under the Glory, initially via atmospheric, weather-related changes, then spontaneous outbreaks of the unprecedented, as I appear unto your joy. Prepare for a move!"

I want to personally thank those who have sown precious seed into this Ministry of the Miraculous. Our outreach is fertile ground. You have approached the Lord with a gift. Your reward will be equal to mine. In plain terms, partnership is a committed process of locking arms. Prayers and financial sacrifices have never gone unnoticed in God's Kingdom. Both allow me to take the Father's Word, signs and wonders to hurting people, those whose lives and eternal destinies depend upon this synergy. Without question, scores are on their way to Heaven, have been healed, thereby avoiding an early grave, because of Him and you. Thanks for that! Together, in total obedience, let's conduit Glory's Electricity, a creative presentation of God's love, to the four corners of this world. No gift is too small or big. He'll anoint every sown seed. In the meantime, expect Heaven to invade your life with Love Letters and a rich display of Covenant! For the ones called to sow:
