Heaven's Magnet!

"Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the Lord will do great things.... I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke (signs, wonders and miracles). The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the Lord come. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered." Joel 2:21, 30-32

"Though ye have lien among the pots, yet shall ye be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold." Psalm 68:13

An Open Heaven literally spilled its marvelous contents onto Northern New England this day! Gold and Silver flakes, teeth, crosses (fillings) and oil glorified our Jesus, while the Holy Spirit moved upon those present in the auditorium. The floor was covered with horizontal, hungry Praisers who had been overcome by the Power Agent of the Trinity. Tears of joy, laughter and embraces were the norm. Daddy literally hugged His Kids with the Glory. New names were added to the Lamb's Book of Life. Intimacy with Him greatly increased in response to Papa's stylized love letters and special gifts to the Bride.

Another one of His Kid's well summarized that special weekend. "I just wanted to thank you for coming to Harvest. It was a very rich time in the Spirit. Your prophetic teaching imparted a renewed sense of high calling and destiny for our church, as well as the dynamics involving the power of Life over death. Your preaching stirred up an excitement and expectancy of receiving from the Father. The words of knowledge were prolific! Some of the immediate results and testimonies were healings of irritable bowel, a retina, in addition to many inflicted with pain in the back and neck. One man who experienced problems from birth in the coccyx was instantly restored. He had been in such intense agony the day before, that this individual was unable to sleep. Now he is symptom free and able to bend. Also, many received Gold (teeth), crosses in their teeth; and there were manifestations of Gold, Silver and multicolored dust on faces, hands and clothing. It was even explained in part of a prophetic word that the manifestation of Gold, etc., was being poured out because we are royalty. I'm expecting many more to come forth with testimonies, resulting from the words of knowledge and gifts of healing that were given."

I remember someone once saying, "The world's greatest deficit doesn't lie in the financial arena, but in the love department." More accurate words could never have been spoken. Most addictions and compulsions are not so much genetically related, but surface as a result of our failure to experience His unconditional love...a posture that doesn't insist on performance or perfectionism, only acceptance and receptiveness. Up to now, most of us haven't been very good conductors, often believing lies about all parties involved. The enemy would want that, doing his level best to keep people from a knowledge of the truth, the fact that you and I are the absolute Object of His affection. There is nothing we can do to increase the level of God's love. Neither has He ever been more impressed with the Bride. In the Grand Designer's beautiful eyes, love is blind. There are no ugly Children. And the Lord doesn't manufacture junk. Our actions, right or wrong, will never change that, or separate us from His mindset toward the Beloved.

Picture an earthly Daddy arriving home after a long period of being away. Meticulously wrapped gifts in hand, he heads toward the house, as squealing children run down the walkway in his direction, leaping into those strong arms with a single thought in mind...holding and being held. Somehow the packages find their way to the ground, since they are merely secondary to the electrifying exchange of a physical embrace. Those gifts are undoubtedly a part of the love process, but not the primary focus. There are many languages of love. But being with the person thought of so often (Daddy) gains ascendency and priority over what he can do, or does, in expressing feelings, via any other means.

Without question, that unfathomable entity of love is constantly flowing from the Throne of Grace. And no power in the universe can possibly interrupt His satiating Current. All in its path must surrender to the Sender's heart and plan. That God-sized hole on the inside will settle for nothing but Him.

During these wonderful days of the Spirit, Papa's magnetic pull toward Heaven will enjoy an earth shaking influence. And to think, He won't be stopped! This Tidal Wave is programmed to impact with the unprecedented and unpredictable. Oh, how refreshing it was to learn that no human or spirit would be able to hinder the Word...that spectacular plan, Our Covenant promises, any longer. Heaven's mail will finally get through and reach its recipients...the Destiny Prone!

Have you ever attended a fair? Almost immediately, those senses engage...sight, sound and smell, the latter likely picking up on the fragrance of cotton candy, simmering onions, or some other treat. What usually transpires? The recipient of such stimuli (bait) is quickly drawn toward its source. Such will be the case as the Name of Jesus is lifted up, and Daddy begins to vitally demonstrate His love for humanity through Covenant...signs, wonders and miracles, the dinner bell of the Holy Spirit, occasionally suspending the very laws of nature to benefit the Youngsters. We are at a juncture where all of our needs are in the process of being met by the Diligent Promiser!

Not long ago, Papa asked me a question. "Paul, what do you believe I long for the most?" Within seconds, He answered that query by saying, "The Creator sowed a Seed into this world, His ultimate and best, two-thousand years ago, from Daddy's greatest need...love, a desire for fellowship and to increase the Family with more Little Ones."

Consider the impartation of His thoughts. The revelation blew me away! Most of us are kind of like that, as well, according gifts to others that we, ourselves, yearn to receive. Everyone does it! In light of that fact, there really should be more sensitivity when giving, a season of seriously pondering what the recipient might sincerely appreciate. Nevertheless, the Lord took our necessities into full consideration. No stone was left unturned with Him. Fulfillment and balance appear to be His middle name!

God granted the Church an obvious hint, concerning what would be a blessing to Him, thus issuing the Great Commission, mandating those "greater works than these," a step by step establishment of Matthew 10:8....preaching the Gospel, healing the sick, casting out devils and raising the dead. Have we been obedient? The answer is evident and, thankfully, imminently changeable, since there is a growing dissatisfaction in the Body of Christ, one that is demanding fulfillment of those unfulfilled orders from Headquarters.

The Standby is moving in this Vermont hotel room. Let's attune to His exciting thoughts!

Holiness...A Person!

"Oh, Precious Bride, the yearning in this heart is to embrace you, regardless of any physical, emotional or spiritual condition that might be prevalent. Did the Savior not do likewise with humanity, getting His hands dirty on numerous occasions to express that love, whether He was preaching the Word, casting out devils, healing the sick...yes, even those lepers, or raising the dead? Ours is an affection that demands no conditions or criteria. That is both My attitude and position toward Dad's Pride and Joy! Ponder the love chapter of 1 Corinthians 13...'Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.' Beloved, that is Who and What I am! Your God is obsessed over one region...considering new and creative ways to bless and woo the Youngsters to Me. Each Cell is so vital to My happiness. Look around! Everything required for life is present...air, water, food and much, much more. The best I have for you remains in the unseen realm. And the Planner is about the throw the party of parties, originating in the Throne Zone, that will rapidly gain the world's attention, compelling multitudes from the four corners of this globe to attend. Byproducts of sin (sickness, poverty, death and oppression) will drop to their knees (demise), as the Glory overshadows and overwhelms all present. Sin-consciousness will defer to the manifest Presence of the Most High, an awesome unveiling of a love that finally assumes its place in mankind's void...the puzzle's last piece. Never forget! The Church has assumed Dad's righteousness and holiness through the finished work of Christ. Disseminate invitations. You have My permission. Celebration is about to begin!"

Dad's Yearning!

"There is a crying forth on the inside of every person for relationship, deliverance, prosperity, a manifestation of the Sons and Daughters of God. How was that established? Does the Word not say that Dad ongoingly works in you, both to will and do of His good pleasure, that those very desires have been placed in that spirit by the Author and Finisher of your faith? You see, Precious Servant, you are just like Papa...yearning for love and a subsequent display of Our giftings. Remember the conversation We had, that visit when I impressed the importance of signs and wonders...the miraculous, the fact that actions speak louder than words. There is too much talk amongst people and not enough loving and caring (action). Reflect on those days when compassion ruled, and the ridiculous, previously unthinkable, was carried out in an effort to alleviate pain and demonstrate affection. Where did you get such a quality? The answer is not difficult, as its genesis came from the Lord Who formed, protected and sustained each atom in that appointed womb. You are more than One in a million. There isn't another in all creation that could possibly replace any Child of Mine. Please allow My Spirit to convey your significance, rights, privileges, Power and authority in the Kingdom. So much hangs in the balance. Souls depend upon your gaining insight. We are going to have the time of all times together in this unparalleled era of identity and reversing of captivity. Get ready to party!"
