From the Desk of Doctor Paul ..."O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy (hesed) endureth for ever." Psalm 136:1
"Love never fails." 1 Corinthians 13:8
"God is love, and he who dwells in love dwells and continues in God, and God dwells and continues in him. In this (union and communion with Him) love is brought to completion and attains perfection with us...because as He is, so are we in this world." 1 John 4:16:17
"For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we, yet without sin." Hebrews 4:15
"But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and truth (Dad's posture toward His Children)." 1 John 3:17-18
Who can fathom the love of our Father? In the natural, there can be no accurate perception concerning the intensity of His affection and compassion for the Church. However, we don't operate from a horizontal (natural) vantage point, leaning unto human comprehension, but possess the Mind of Christ, while legally being seated together with Him in Heavenly places, a location of revelation, fellowship, instruction, yes...even reasoning. And the Creator's desire is to not only express those marvelous feelings and thoughts He has toward the Kids, but also to shower us with every good and perfect gift from Above. Papas are like that, you know.
It's so intriguing. But when departing that Secret Location, in which we are invited to continually abide, an identification can be made with Moses, after his encounter with the Grand Designer on Mount Sinai. As with that Servant, the Glory is all over us. Faces literally glow with God's Essence and Presence! The Christian subsequently embraces a supernatural boldness, perceiving situations and circumstances differently. There seems to be a spring in each step, a quiet confidence, if you will, to perform the impossible, a refusal to accept Satan's ploys, regardless of how dark matters appear.
The Church is no longer a fish out of water, walking by fright and sight. To the contrary, She has begun operating in Her highest and truest call, flowing in an Anointing that refuses the impossible, declaring those things which be not as though they were, until each becomes. Are we truly walking in His sensitivity? How frequently has the Bride permitted a sinner to remain in that condition, failing to heed the Lord's Internal Radar? What about the oppressed, diseased, maimed and deceased? Have our human conditioning, traditions and two-thousand years of desensitization to the Living Word inhibited an unveiling of Dad's heart, short-circuiting destiny in the lives of millions? We must repent of the past, refusing guilt and shame, acknowledging identity in Christ, while moving forward, marching to the beat of a different Drummer. Faces are to be as flint, with a hand to that plow, adamantly refusing a glance back.
"To live is Christ!" The Church is His representation on a planet screaming for, and severely lacking love, deliverance, reality, the excellency of that Dynamite inherent in the Lord's Ambassadors. We are the Spout where the Glory comes out!
I cherish the Father's most recent statement. "There is no stopping Me now. Through this Open Heaven will flow the unprecedented. This is that which will turn the world upside down, a time when My Children are to visibly glow with the Presence."
The Holy Spirit's excitement over our greatest hour permeates the very atmosphere, as He fills hearts with an expectancy of Divine visitation, impartation and birthing. Let's listen to that still, small Voice.
"Beloved, contemplate the intensity of My love for the Bride! Jesus was, and
is the Word made flesh, dwelling amongst men, expressing Heaven's mindset and
priorities, via a manifestation of the revelation. Compassion not only
covers, but remits...blasts away a multitude of wrongdoing in all areas of
life and godliness. Unless those sitting at the Master's feet were to faint
along the way, a creative miracle fed each present through that little boy's
lunch, with more than enough remaining. Such will be the case in these
thrilling days of the Spirit. Did compassion not supply the mere fundamentals
that day? Not only does Dad's unlimited affection provide sustenance, but it
also heals the sick, raises the dead...the widow woman's son, and delivers
the oppressed. I am the same, yesterday, today and forever, will never alter
or break My Covenant, the word that has proceeded from these Holy Lips. In
fact, the Supreme Justice of the Universe is watching over His promises to
materialize them. The God of every atom and molecule has clearly indicated
that bowels of compassion should operate in each Member of the Body, a
posture where signs, wonders, miracles are the norm, readily accompanying and
following those associated internal stirrings. There is no double standard in
the Secret Place, as Father is the Author of a love that passes all worldly
understanding. Faith will work through that entity. Develop a posture of
taking the high road. Pass those daily tests of choice, designed to establish
confidence in your ability to both hear and carry out My will. As a result,
everything you place that hand to will prosper!"
"The Church is in the process of functioning from a different, but more
highly effective realm...that of leaning not unto natural understanding,
while acknowledging Me in all Her ways, as I personally direct each unctioned
step through gut level stirrings. No longer will the Kids do business as
usual when it comes to countering the works of the enemy. Child, fear not!
Draw that proverbial line in the sand in vitally reversing the curse
associated with humanity's fall. Trust that still, small Voice on the inside.
Nothing will be deemed impossible, as Heaven's Guidance Counselor is
permitted to dictate your every move. How else can Papa's will be
accomplished? The Kingdom of God is enhanced not by mere utterances, but
Power and a demonstration of the Spirit. Actions do speak louder than words!
There is no future in the past. Rest not on mistakes or laurels. Prepare to
embrace this new mindset under an Open Heaven, the latter of which will no
longer be a discussed concept of the future, but a prevailing moment by
moment experience, only to increase in a Glory to Glory fashion."
"Precious Child, there is a way that appears right by man but leads to
destruction. My methods could never be yours, since they are past finding out
in the natural realm. However, you have the Mind of Christ! And via that
delivery system, Dad's will must be revealed. For I can do nothing without
first telling the prophets and other Kids. No good thing will be withheld
from the Church in these marvelous days of the Spirit. Even though the Word
does not contain all of the Master's accomplishments during His earthly
ministry, but only a sample, each act, including the unmentioned, was
meticulously recorded in the Creator's Book of Remembrance and will be
ongoingly unveiled to the Bride by the Holy Spirit. Such is the case when a
Child even breathes Papa's Name or obeys My commands. Knowledge has been
greatly increasing and will continue to do just that in every department.
Always remember, the Believer is operating in a backwards Kingdom. Plainly
stated, you must die to live, serve to become Royalty, believe to see, and
give in order to get. Don't quit! Lean not unto worldly understanding. But
continue remaining in an environment of faith (the unseen) and
expectancy...the breeding ground for miracles, while taking up residency in
the Throne Room. The best is just ahead for both of Us! Together, We are more
than conquerors. Your purpose is profoundly simple. Praise and fellowship Me;
receive the Creator's best; freely distribute; love; manifest the Presence;
plunder hell and populate Heaven. Prolific signs and wonders will follow,
confirming the Most High's hand on that life and ministry!"
Dr. Paul N. Gervais
Speak The Word:
I eagerly pursue and seek to acquire love. I make it my aim and my great
quest in life.
