"And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit." 2 Corinthians 3:18

"But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me." 2 Corinthians 12:9

Years ago, while returning to Maine from Connecticut, I became personally frustrated with myself for not measuring up to what some in the Body of Christ might deem "perfection". No matter how much effort was put into that endeavor, success was never realized. Instead, a sense of condemnation and despair ensured.

As the Apostle Paul once exclaimed, "Those things I should do simply don't happen, while what God doesn't want for my life and ministry is easily perpetuated by me. Please, is there any help out there?"

Heaven's answer swiftly surfaced from the Comforter within. "Paul, My grace is sufficient. It is that same entity that brought you into the Kingdom and has been healing the sick and raising the dead for centuries."

In essence, the Holy Spirit was relating that, just as we are to be patient and long-suffering toward one another, so must the Believer give himself that same break, since sanctification is a Glory to Glory process. As you and I yield and permit the Agent of Change to do His job, thoughts, words, actions and outcome will subsequently reflect that inner work of sanctification. Indeed, it's not by might, nor power, but by the Spirit that the Church takes on the express image, behavior and effectiveness of Christ. Otherwise, most of us would be boasting about our own personal sufficiency. In no way is the Master glorified under those circumstances. Consequently, another gospel, one of condemnation and discouragement, would be presented with a significant amount of associated disinterest and failure.

Let's return to that previously mentioned revelation. The Lord answered, ever so clearly, in response to my question and frustration. "Paul, if you could, in your natural might, eradicate sin and its byproducts from life, Jesus wouldn't have had to die on the cross and be raised from the dead. He knew that fallen man was completely helpless, outside of Him. The excellency of My Power within, that marvelous Treasure in your spirit, is all one needs to become like the Savior. Just as physical growth is automatic, such has always been the case when dealing with the spiritual side. A person doesn't have to obsess over where he is. Promotion arrives, in spirit, soul and body, as a direct result of getting into the Word, eating that real "Soul Food," and spending quality time in the Throne Room. Transparency translates into intimacy, and intimacy promotes revelation. After all, if you were able to vitally rid yourself of sin in the natural, that would also be your expectation of others, rendering the cross powerless and irrelevant. When recognizing that promotion and deliverance can only come from Me, Christians then point those needing redemption in the right direction, comforting others with the same comfort wherewith they were comforted."

That made a whole lot of sense to me. You see, conviction is paramount to change. Repentance, too, is a Holy Spirit endeavor, a place where we run out of steam, become sick and tired of being sick and tired. Let's look back at an example.

When I was twelve, my parents left me with relatives in Northern Maine, for what was supposed to be a week's vacation. Well, Uncle Joe took his nephew into the woods one afternoon. That precious man had an insatiable appreciation of beer and shared a small amount with me. Upon returning home, I discovered that Aunt Marge had prepared a sizable stack of egg salad sandwiches, one of my favorites. After eating two of them, an internal stirring, not of the Spirit, was quite discernible. Within minutes, all that had been swallowed found another home. My stomach was rejecting the snack. The purging didn't seem to help much. Man, I was sick!

What came out of that experience? Let's put it this way. There are more egg salad sandwiches and beer in this world because of all that. The very thought of either generates a very negative body memory. Such is the case with anchovies. I often wonder if God really made those nasty things. That's exactly what repentance is all about. After the Children's bellies are soured by the world and what it has to offer, there's a hungering and turning around for reality and truth, a thirsting for Living Water, a newly discovered appetite for Bread and other delicacies from Heaven's Bakery. God's Child, often through a few negative circumstances and situations, no longer yearns for the pseudo or counterfeit. Only the "real thing" will suffice. Our desires change from the beggarly elements of this planet to that which truly satisfies the human soul. We see sin for what it is...a fancy, yet empty, package of pain and misery.

How do you stir your soul back to where it hungers to be? By eating God's Word, and favoring Heavenly things, since desires always follow a person's attention.

"Precious Child, ponder those occasions of perceived weakness and challenge in the life and ministry of Christ. Standing before Lazarus' tomb and raising him from the dead, confronting those infested with demons, multiplying the loaves and fishes, healing the sick, and pointing the needy toward provision gained origin in the Throne Room. The Savior's eyes were always on Heaven, discerning the Father's will in all matters. Have I not instructed the weak to confess strength? Has it not also been written that My ability is made perfect in your inability? Jesus constantly carried a cross of surrender and obedience. The works He did were actually orders from Headquarters. He wasn't fearful of appearing weak. The Man knew Who He was, was well acquainted with His mission. The world, on many occasions, deemed the Savior as helpless. Yet, no one could hold a match to the miraculous that flowed from His love and yieldedness. Things are not always as they appear, which is precisely the reason behind the importance of calling those matters which be not as though they were, until each becomes. Anticipate challenges, via thoughts and external influences, when revelation arrives and a Seed is sown. Immediately the enemy comes to abort those awesome, gestated exploits. You see, the death in Glory's Son produced Life in those for whom He was sent. Let Me be more precise. To the extent that the Believer lays down his life for the Father and others, a Resurrection Power will be released, the likes of which have yet to be witnessed. Prepare to venture forth from that tomb, the cave of deadness and inactivity, as your Third Day lies just around the corner. In no way will you be allowed to faint. Keep that Word in your heart. Refuse to be moved by the sensory. For I Am the God of all flesh and comfort. Is there anything too difficult for Me? Count that feeling of weakness and helplessness as a certain confirmation that Heaven has taken over in the matter, is carrying the baton and assuring victory. You can't see where you're standing, because you're standing on it! That's the faith walk. Let quietness and confidence be your strength. Some will jump ship and retreat. But I will provide Soldiers to remain in the gap and make up that hedge of protection. No man goes to war at his own expense. Many have judged and declared you dead. Prepare for a proliferation of Resurrection Life! Remain on that cross of surrender, and watch the Supernatural proceed from what man might label as anemic and foolish. You aren't really weak, but meek. And meekness is restrained Power!"

The Holy Spirit spoke to me, years ago, in an Orange County mausoleum, of all places, prior to that Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) Gold Manifestation, witnessed by millions. This is what He had to say: "Southern California has been deemed 'Ground Zero' for this Ministry. Your journey will be far-reaching, to the far corners of the earth. However, focus must remain on this region...Greater Los Angeles. I have richly anointed and called you to take My Word and Heaven's miraculous to where Glory's Light is dim and the Father's Voice is seemingly silent."

Additionally, the Lord has entrusted this work with the hearts of many precious souls, from prisoners to the extremely well known in the arts. Heaven possesses unbelievable Supernatural plans for each. We must be faithful to that call, deliver those messages, and become dutiful servants.
