Ministry of Miracles

From the Desk of Doctor Paul ...


The Last Shall Be First!


"'I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten...the great locust and the young locust, the other locusts and the locust swarm...my great army that I sent among you. You will have plenty to eat, until you are full, and you will praise the name of the Lord your God, who has worked wonders for you; never again will my people be shamed.'" Joel 2:25-27

"He replied, 'The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them."' Matthew 13:11

"It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves, but you, when they spoke of the things that have now been told you by those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things." 1 Peter 1:12

The Dream:

I was navigating down a very narrow mountain road in one of our (police) department's vehicles. Suddenly, the highway twisted to a point where remaining on the pavement was virtually impossible. Within microseconds, Paul Gervais found himself air bound, hovering over treetops and other similarly threatening obstacles. Then instantly, all four tires were resting on the ground...another road. My first thought was, "The Sheriff will kill me!" As a commissioned officer, there is a responsibility to be prudent and, most importantly, not destroy agency property. That's highly frowned upon. Getting out of the cab section, I decided to take a few snapshots of the assumed damage, with KSO's digital camera. However, there didn't seem to be anything wrong with the patrol car or me! Suddenly, the scene shifted to a rocking chair. I was in it, with Kenneth Copeland standing nearby. We were discussing the Lord's work, as that piece of furniture progressively gained a seemingly toppling momentum. Adrenaline streamed through this body. Yet, peace prevailed. The Great Interpreter stepped in with His revelatory, thus breaking and defining the vision's pattern. This is what He said: "Paul, the Believer has been called to ride upon the high places of this earth, mountains included. The Bride is seated together in Heavenly Places with Christ, your Invisible Partner, behind the wheel. Nothing shall by any means hurt you. No weapon formed against the Family can prosper. That police unit represents the Christian's authority. You'll always land upright, without spot, wrinkle, or even the smell of smoke. Simply enjoy the ride, and don't be afraid. That rocking (Jesus is your Rock) chair represents movement, even in a stationary position, an appearance of standing still. The faith momentum behind each swing will Supernaturally increase to a level where the very laws of nature cooperate and are suspended, when necessary, supporting your obedience. Attached to that chair is the hand of God. With each move of faith, the arm of Heaven will deliver a blow to Satan's backside, followed by victory after victory. That's all you'll see of him...his hind end! Once again, faith, Glory's momentum, accomplishes its purpose. Don't move! Sit there, as We rule, reign and ride together!"

Most of us don't usually take much time to contemplate, process and think beyond that familiar proverbial box. Consequently, we react from a position of inferiority to various stimuli within the natural perspective. Full dependency is upon our senses, what is heard, tasted, smelled, seen and felt.

Without question, such an inferior stand limits us to a realm that can only be deemed common unto man. It's sort of like taking the worst seat in the house when attending a movie or play. True vision and appreciation become restricted and limited by that obvious handicap of distance and proximity, thus resulting in a skewed comprehension of what's continually unfolding. Those in the "big ticket" section obviously enjoy an advantage of vision and unimpeded comprehension, far above and beyond their less fortunate counterparts.

It's a fact. God operates and has His being within a multitude of naturally indescribable, unfathomable dimensions. Jesus remains the same, yesterday, today and forever. He uses a myriad of time markers from the past, present and future, in pointing out and establishing His will, while setting the stage for each intricately linked plan.

How in the world can one person journey before another, preparing the way and making those crooked places straight, unless he possesses the ability to Supernaturally cross time lines? Isn't it marvelous to know that He's currently in our tomorrows? Furthermore, those perceived and actual losses of yesteryear have been glorified and moved into our future, where they await us as living blessings! I'm talking about people, places and things, temporarily and formerly forfeited and wept over...relationships, material items, reputations, health, financial hardships, whatever doesn't "feel right" in the now.

The Author and Finisher of Faith is omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent. That simply blows me away. A fair translation of those marvelous attributes is this. No atom or molecule can escape His influence. In other words, the Savior is on top of it all, completely in charge and control, obviously leaving little, or more accurately, no room for Satan's dominance and expression. In saying to His Followers, "The devil has nothing in you!," Christ is also declaring that the Church should focus on nothing but the Word and revelatory, generated by such.

Let's move beyond this point. The steps of a righteous man, woman and child are ordained of the Lord. Wouldn't a reasonable individual conclude that God fully plans on leading us around those troubling land mines, into a venue of greatness and total empowerment, green pastures, beside still waters?

It would be wise to take this premise a step or two further, by reiterating more of Heaven's promise: "I'll be in, with, behind (your rereward) and in front of you! Give the adversary no place." Beyond that limited learning curve, a conclusion is reached that hell cannot survive the Presence of Christ in us, that hope and revelation (of Glory) associated with forward movement.

A precious prophet friend, well known by multitudes for his gifting and succinctness of spiritual accuracy, has come under a heavy, unrelenting attack in recent years, from colleagues and others in the Body of Christ, for what is discerned as a "misstep." The man, who has attained a track record for reaching souls through the prophetic and miraculous, is still considered the cream of the crop, in terms of office, respect, and the test of time, as well as accuracy. Jesus and angels appear with him during crusades. We call each other Son and Dad. I love that man. My eyes see this prophet through the heart of God.

This richly gifted individual was unctioned from mother's womb to bless nations with his anointing. Scores have been reached and forever impacted by the River of Life flowing through him. In formative days, the Holy Spirit hovered over the infant's crib at bedtime, protecting, confirming and underscoring the seriousness and potency of both call and walk. If you were to attend my friend's meetings, the true awesomeness of God would be overwhelming, and assuredly remembered and appreciated. Responding to Heaven's directives, this elder colleague receives words of knowledge and other forms of deeply prophetic insights. In his meetings, he flowingly discloses names, addresses, personal histories, maladies, the contents of pockets, even the secrets of hearts, for the intent of freeing hell's victims from sickness, darkness, poverty and death, while validating Heaven's Presence in respective lives. The comprehensiveness of Heaven's onslaught leaves no room for doubt.

Oh, how rapidly we push all of that (the Anointing) aside, in favor of finding fault, pointing out regions of weakness and vulnerability, those "flaws," yet to be eradicated by the Master Potter, through the Father's ongoing sanctification...the Glory to Glory process, a progression likened unto, and associated with, the growth of a healthy, changing, and cognitively developing child. Due to unceasing onslaughts of negativity, the Lord's Special Ambassador has notably lacked peace in his struggle for remedial answers, suggestions and clear expectations that can only be found in the Word.

Acknowledging a universal twenty-percent mistake rule, along with the Humanity Factor, God has lovingly given His Bride room for error, although, legally, via the finished work of Christ, sin and its byproducts have neither place nor power in our lives. The Church need not miss the mark on a single score.

How many of us have fallen and been compassionately picked up by mature Christians who understand the true definition of restoration and reconciliation? There's too little of that in the Church. God's will for those who have been oppressed of the devil, is for His Army to stand with the injured, while reminding them of their Blood-bought identity, dominion and authority in Christ.

Reprogramming incorporates what Jesus has accomplished so that we might walk in Divine health...spirit, soul, body, finances, relationships and ministry. You and I are to encourage the walking wounded, letting them know that, in Heaven's economy, condemnation, shame-basing, blame-shifting and defeat do not exist, while conjointly conduiting Love, Light and Life from the Throne Room. Additionally, God's treatment plan promotes realignment and replenishment of whatever has been forfeited in the "fall"... self-esteem, identity, clarity of vision and commission, a knowing that destiny hasn't been altered one iota, even in the wake of mistakes that are completely remedied by mid-course corrections.

I often say to fallen Soldiers..."Get over it! The old isn't ruling you now. All is new. Everything contrary to both Contract and call draws from Heaven's Bank of Remedy. Nothing short of that attracted the Son to this world. Look for the good and perfect. The Father's Church catches fish. Only the Spirit can clean them. Permit that, even in your life! Be patient. Rest neither on laurels nor mistakes. We've all missed the mark. God's Word heals. Let me brush you off. His Robe of Righteousness remains clean. Adorn it! We'll turn around, link arms and move forward together. Highways of Destiny don't cease existing, merely because you've headed in the wrong turn. Forget about micro-managing. The Lord is faithful and just to forgive and reactivate."

I've been personally guilty of imperfection, sin, failing to hit the bull's-eye, speaking out of turn, reacting from a mindset of immaturity, insensitivity and stupidity. To whom much is given, a great deal will be required, in comforting others with the same comfort wherewith we were comforted. I know what sin is about. Most importantly, this writer is more than familiar with Gilead's Balm, the Commander-in-Chief's mandate of letting go and repositioning with Christ. Souls hang in the balance of our being "real" and running a course that is lined with the miraculous. We're here for that.

The Ark of God's Covenant calls for further thought. Far too many have struggled with their own forgiveness. In so doing, they lay aside the Blood's efficacy, suffer unnecessary torment, waste time, miss the revelatory, sap energy, and spin their wheels in the opposite direction of Heaven's Secret Place. Hell celebrates over this self-deception, the foe's negatively misleading pattern interrupts from the pit.

That said, we are to follow Him and touch not the Lord's anointed...the Anointing One within, and do His prophets no harm. A good parallel is the following: The Ark of the Covenant once housed Heaven's Presence, as do we. God, in no uncertain terms, instructed that crew to stay away from, and not touch, His container. They ignored the order. We usually do. In the beginning, Adam and Eve authored non-compliance and disobedience. The consequence and outcome? Death! Violating the Anointing led to their demise, a good lesson for anyone contemplating an attack on the Jesus in another.

Disagreeing can be healthy and fine. However, further action necessitates guidance from above. Otherwise, opposing God and His Glory could backfire and turn into the beginning of another's end, perhaps ours. Leave effective correction and transformation to the Holy Spirit. If the Revelator can win souls, changing a life isn't much of a problem. The lesser is included in the greater.

I'll prophetically tell you that the Hand of our Lord has been extended into, and through, the Church to promote wholeness and balance, reconciliation and restoration, a message that realigns and promotes those who have been patiently obeying and waiting in the back seat of life and ministry. Your ticket is due for an upgrade.

Virtual "unknowns" will lead in a transference of Heaven to earth. You see, God isn't moved by what He sees, but He eagerly responds to availability, not ability, as well as meekness...restrained Power, a willingness to be instant in and out of season. Heaven seeks people who aren't afraid of the ridiculous and impossible.

You and I have been fashioned for such a time as this. We weren't intended for any other generation. God has richly provided Glory's wherewithal for the here and now, what's needed to reach those around us. Stay focused! Always preach the Gospel. When necessary, use words!

We have become Living Epistles, or Letters, known and read of all men. Whether one wants to admit it or not, he is being observed from various vantage points. People are watching and reaching conclusions. Angel forces stand at attention, as we prophetically license them to do business in deep waters.

The Comforter has more to say about this. Let's listen to His words of wisdom and revelation.

First Class!

"Has it not been written that you are legally and vitally the head and not the tail, that your God is no respecter of persons? You have been placed on the planet for such a time as this, to have your being in a season of harvest, baited by the prophetic and miraculous. Nothing can be done without an imparted word to and through Heaven's Servant, the Prophet. All soldiers aren't sent to battle, and subsequent victory, at the same time. Even natural warriors formulate and initiate wise and definitive strategies for combat. Astute nations never go to war at their own expense. Neither do they anticipate a loss. The Great I Am knows the beginning from the end, and has empowered you for each moment and movement of life and godliness. In all ways, acknowledge your God, as Spirit-directed steps lead to promotion of spirit, soul, body and ministry. Are you ready for further insight into your journey? When forward movement ensues, you will literally convert into the express image of the Father and Son, to a level and degree of visibly 'shining' with the Glory, not unlike Moses, who shone during His dissent toward the people. Here's one that will wake up a soul! The Word instructs Christ's followers to set their faces as flint. What is flint's purpose? Ignition! Fire! 'Who makes His ministers a flaming fire from the loins up and down...' You have sat in the back of that Spiritual bus for far too long. As with the Children of Israel, I go before the Church to remove all obstacles and set the stage for the 'show' of all shows, a grandeur of signs and wonders in the heavens and earth, ignitions and explosions of what can only be described as 'beyond revival.' At Heaven's command, holy hands will connect with a creation, awaiting a manifestation of the Sons and Daughters of God. Fingerprints of Life, Love and Light shall transfer Heaven to earth. Like a vacuum, a Tornado of Glory will creatively channel contents of the unseen into those valleys of greatest demand. Where sin, sickness and contrariness abound, grace...beautifully wrapped and adorned gifts, will much more gain tangibility. Satan hits and runs, refusing to remain at the scene, for fear of being discovered. I arrive and stay. The gifts and calling are without repentance. No hindrance can sustain itself before the whirlpool and floodtide of promise. First Class is My directive for the hour. Think, expect and act out of My bigness, as the God of all creation, flesh included, leads vast crowds into churches, auditoriums, and yes, the highways and byways of life, market places included, while each is compelled and drawn by an 'inner knowing' that this is the way to go. If Christ is lifted up, the Father will champion resurrections. Even man's flesh, redeemed through that finished work on Calvary's hill, remains under the influence of its Originator. Cancer and other intrusive, invasive trespassers won't survive this unprecedented movement. All is to unfold in a Glory to Glory presentation. Ponder this fact. What Father, family, army or business would operate and succeed with a 'stand still' mentality. Refusing to encourage and promote leads to a fainting and quitting. 'Burnout' is hell's middle name. Stand at attention before the Word's Presence, and prepare for a reseating to the Head of Glory's Class!"

A Personal Note From Doctor Paul

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:
