From the Desk of Doctor Paul ...
In The Fullness Of Time!
"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
"God is not a man, that he should lie, not a son of man, that he should
change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not
fulfill?" Numbers 23:19
"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a
harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do
good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of
believers." Galatians 6:9-10
"In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you
will see me." John 16:16
"But when the time had fully come, God sent his Son (fulfilled the promise),
born of a woman, born under law, that we might receive the full rights of
sons (Covenant)." Galatians 4:4
The young lady sat in a waiting room, anxiously anticipating word from her
family physician, a person in whom trust was placed for a diagnosis and final
say concerning an ongoing condition. She had been experiencing symptoms that
might indicate a pregnancy or some other medical issue. Either way, a quest
for assessment and truth was the woman's focal point.
Moments later, the clinician, pleasantly smiling from ear to ear, called her
into the treatment area. Judging from his countenance, the news obviously
wasn't bad. To the contrary, his report was exciting. "You are going to have
a baby!" Both relief and joy filled the cubicle.
On the other side of that coin, a (waiting) process of gestation would be
involved, one of preferring and protecting the fetus...not unlike cultivating
a dream or vision from the Lord, along with fortifying that body with
vitamins and proper nutrition. In some cases, adjusting to morning sickness,
as well as people who don't quite understand the associated inconvenience and
discomfort, becomes part of that journey. The greatest challenge, however, is
waiting, while the Father wonderfully and meticulously forms that
destiny-oriented baby who is having his being in the unseen realm. Without
question, Mom has accepted, believed and is acting upon the word of a
specialist, knowing that one day a new life will enter this world. As that
special moment approaches, more symptoms (emotional and physical) have to be
tolerated. But the end result is worth her temporary sense of malaise.
When was the last time you sat in a medical office, anticipating your turn
while reading old magazines and journals about disease? The appointment card
says...9:00 a.m. However, two hours pass and nothing has changed; you are
still tarrying. In some cases, there's ample opportunity to heal before
seeing the practitioner! Perhaps that is where "patient" was originally
derived.
Not long ago, a friend in California shared a revelation on the matter of
waiting and trusting. She was troubled over not specifically hearing from the
Revelator, thinking something might be askew in her walk. This had become a
season of silence, if you will. Daddy's response to all that was swiftly
imparted. "Look at your desires! They, too, are My Voice." Just as there are
many languages of love, God speaks in different ways. Most importantly, He
does work in us both to will and do of His good pleasure. And those
yearnings, dreams and visions can be fully trusted!
This is not unlike knowing that the infant, within the womb, continues to
take on substance and form, even when it cannot be seen or felt. In the end,
the baby speaks in varied languages of movement and symptoms, until he or she
is actually held by loving arms. The Word then becomes flesh, subsequently
dwelling among us!
I am frequently reminded of the patience involved in gestating God's
promises. The timing is in His hands, as He watches over that Word (baby) to
materialize the promises, bring them to pass. Like the fetus, a certain span
of tarrying is necessary if the birthing is to be safe, successful and
rewarding.
When it comes to Covenant...salvation, healing, health, prosperity, being far
from all internal and external oppression, enjoying favor, being the head and
not the tail, always having sufficiency in everything pertaining to life,
godliness, and much more, a Glory to Glory jaunt is mandatory. Heavenly
promotion leads to a vital appropriation of the Covenant. A perceived
non-answer today doesn't necessarily mean the "baby" isn't on its way. The
Great Physician and Designer of destiny knows what He's doing. Papa can be
fully trusted to deliver the goods, whether it be a notice of intent or
actual parcel of promise. Remember, we are the recipients. Such was the case
at the beginning, in that Garden. With the curse reversed, nothing has
changed. God predisposes Himself to extend His hand of manifestation, giving
so that we're always having! And that usually happens as the Believer
expectantly waits upon the Lord. Remember, an atmosphere of expectancy is the
breeding ground for miracles. Never forget! Those times and seasons are in
His capable hands. Deliverance and blessings are forthcoming. You and I are
God's patients. Consequently, let's be patient, a fruit of His Spirit!
I sense the Mailman is at the door of your heart. He has a delivery for you!
A Demand On The Ground!
"Beloved, envision a seed. Most of those life-filled grains fail to impress
anyone. Now, contemplate their location of implantation. Dirt! In order for
that little morsel to express itself and produce a fruitful harvest, there
must be an out-of-sight burial in a substance that's deemed 'unclean, filthy
and unattractive,' not to mention numerous other uncomplimentary adjectives.
Did that not ultimately happen in the life and death of the Savior, Who
entered this world in the form of weakness and appeared to depart in
like-fashion...the tomb? He was Heaven's purest and best Seed. Within hours
after the crucifixion, scores no longer remembered His significance. Neither
did they seriously embrace Christ's promises. To Jesus' followers and
friends, sadness, loss and hurt were the norm. Their Teacher was gone, and
hearts had become heavy. Satan took complete advantage of the situation,
screaming forth the cessation of that pending Contract, those dreams and
visions. The prophetic was entombed and insignificant. How quickly is One
forgotten! Your God has clearly instructed the Children to lay down their
lives for humanity...from the lowest of the lowest to those in high places,
loving and serving a people whom the world would deem unclean and
unreachable. The greatest movement of My Spirit will occur among the
so-called rejects and outcasts, those foolish people who have been selected
for the most effective and powerful ministries. Understand, this planet and
its contents, including the heathen, do not belong to Satan, but Us. Each
person is your inheritance and can be won into the Kingdom through love and
sensitivity to My Voice. What is man but dirt...clay and earth! You must be
willing to get those hands dirty and touch the unclean, consequently
reversing the curse. I did that often, once writing in the soil with my
finger! Never forget, the Most High is mindful of the smallest cry. The
Creator so loved the world that there was a giving and offering of
Life...that of My only begotten Son. Oh yes, the sending was for mankind's
salvation. But look at the intent...loving, loving, loving, so much loving
that only God's Utmost would suffice. That was two-thousand years ago. The
Christ-Seed continues to produce after its own kind. Nevertheless, I, too,
have to utilize the fruit of My own Spirit...patience, long-suffering, while
uniting and holding together each Cell of the Body...the Church, as the Bride
assumes Dad's essence, nature and mindset. All that takes time, even from the
Throne Room's vantage point. Look around! Does the planet reflect Heaven's
will? Sadly, as of this moment, the opposite is true. However, change is in
the Wind! A proliferation of Love and Life is jetting your way. All those
desires, dreams and visions, each component of Covenant, will be met and
fulfilled according to My riches in (the) Glory. A Cloud has already formed,
the size of a man's hand. What appears currently evident is merely a trickle
compared to the drenching that will flood nations. Have I not promised many
signs and wonders? When the Creator says...'Many', that is not an
understatement of God's will. Despise not the day of small things. A seed
speaks of minuscule, but can produce Cedars of Lebanon...awe-inspiring
bigness! Each act or utterance (seed) sown in obedience to Me, possesses the
Power necessary in bringing itself to pass. No good wine is served before its
time. Now, assimilate these Life-filled words! The last shall be first. And
God's greatest has been reserved until the end...that grand finale!
Faith-filled words dominate the law of sin and death. In the Glory, I will
give you beauty for ashes. Yes, that means raising the dead, the epitome of
creative manifestation. By calling those things which be not as though they
were, in submission to My Spirit, each will materialize. Become not weary in
well-doing. Your 'due season' is expediently approaching!"
