From the Desk of Doctor Paul ...



The Approaching Cloud ... God's Glory!


"By day the Lord went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day or night. Neither the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night left its place in front of the people." Exodus 13:21-22

"During the last watch of the night the Lord looked down from the pillar of fire and cloud at the Egyptian army and threw it into confusion." Exodus 14:24

"And the priests could not perform their service (stand to minister) because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord filled his temple." 1 Kings 8:11

How exciting it is to hear from one of our partners. This letter is from Downey, California, authored by a lady who is hungry for more.

"Dr. Gervais, it was so nice to see you at Sheepfold Assembly of God in Nashua, New Hampshire, last month. What an awesome rally we had! It was a blessing to experience the Gold Dust and words of prophecy! After arriving back home (California), I told Jay Jones about the wonderful service. When you return to California again, it would be a real treat to talk with you at TBN. God bless!"

A week from this day I will be in Washington with a man, not a Party, who has been anointed to lay down his life and serve people. That's a very important concept to contemplate.."serve" as President of the United States. No greater love has any Child of God than when a decision is made to prefer others. Toward that end, George W. Bush's destiny has paved a way to the White House.

Actions speak louder than words. We do vote with our feet! And I can assuredly tell you this about our next leader. He is no respecter of persons, does not perceive himself as a big shot, recognizes that Jesus Christ has changed his heart for good and placed him in a position of being the most powerful man in the world...to serve and bless those he has been anointed to represent. To whom much is given, much is required. Authority commands responsibility. And God has chosen well. In a sense our President is a latter day gapstander.

Not only is this a new and different administration, but a sign post or spiritual turning point. The old is history. We must accept and respect change. Nevertheless, newness approaches as a Cloud of promise, vision, hope, love, revelation knowledge and the miraculous. The Church is literally turning a long-awaited corner of ruling and reigning, truly being all She has been called to be in fulfillment of God's treasured desires.

Without question, this is the Holy Spirit's most exciting hour since the resurrection and ascension of Christ! He has always been the restraining Force in this world, often even protecting man from himself. If you rightfully believe that we are living in a chaotic period, the likes of which have not been witnessed to date, consider what might happen without His Presence and influence, since He is the One Who continually upholds all things by the Word, while pricking at the conscience of God's creation, promoting redemption, reconciliation and restoration.

The Precious Third Person of the Trinity is truly our Pilot, gently brooding over and guiding those for whom the Master sacrificed all. And beyond that, the Revelator is the Keeper of dreams and visions, ever ready to confirm the Word with signs following, and offer on-the-spot empowerment, identity, encouragement, affirmation, validation and destiny-orientation. Toward that end, while gazing in the direction of the Throne, I can envision a small Cloud, the size of a man's hand. In it lies the fullness of Covenant, Condensation from those shed, stored tears, often unseen by man, but meticulously placed in Heavenly bottles marked "Precious," for future release in the form of manifestation and deliverance.

Oh, how God longs for us to spend quality visits with Him! No matter the amount of satisfaction one experiences in life, there's always that "phone home" stirring within. We are perpetually seeking the Sender, that Daddy of all Daddies. Even as I wait on the Revelator for Daily Bread, my heart drifts to those unique meeting places in Southern California, where He shows up is so many creative ways, even the miraculous. And as His heart and hand are revealed, all else pales by comparison. I could never turn back, since no future lies in the past. With hand to plow, maintaining a single eye of faith on that small Cloud, we are positioned to ride the crest of the greatest move of God in history!

Nevertheless, being the gatekeeper of your own soul, it remains imperative that each thought and imagination be brought into captivity, exposed to the astute Discerner. In psychology, much time is spent monitoring self-talk, those internal messages frequently heard and believed by recipients. As a man thinks and speaks, so is he. People are a culmination of all they have ingested, not just for breakfast, but since day one...emotionally, physically and spiritually. A reprogramming is inherently built into that Glory to Glory walk, permitting and enabling us to think, talk and act exactly like Dad.

Most people are walking around with lies and distortions about themselves and others. Each fabrication and erroneous projection originates from the accuser of the brethren, the one in whom truth does not abide. Perceptions are always valid, but not necessarily accurate. Sooner or later, they must stand before the mirror of reality for a credibility check. Some have to be cast down and replaced with their Life-giving counterpart...truth. By examining thoughts, each seed of suggestion can be brought into captivity and appropriately handled. The Holy Spirit assists in that endeavor. And He does a marvelous job! Without the Standby, humanity reverts back to logic and senses, a battle zone of certain defeat.

Just before sleep, the Teacher will occasionally whisper in my ear, if a decision is made to stay this mind upon Him. He has a unique way of providing beauty for ashes, overcoming those former shortcomings and mistakes with a comprehensive list of what I have done right, those words, positions and deeds that were Spirit-led and pleasing to Him along the way.

Give it a try! You'll be addicted to His Voice from this point forward. Above all, remember, condemnation, guilt, blame, shame, apathy and hopelessness are not recognized or known in the Secret Place. God sees you through the Blood of the Lamb, and will never frame His Children as defective and dirty. He has no problems, only plans and solutions. Shame-basing is out of the question. Boldly refuse words of negativity. They are invariably birthed in hell. Mistakes are part of any learning process. You have been given room and permission to make a few.

I sense the composition of another love letter for the Family. Let's open God's envelope and bask in His thoughts!

Never Ceasing Power!

"Have I not promised full sufficiency in all pertaining to life and godliness? No outages exist in My Kingdom. Lack cannot be sustained in Heaven's economy. Haven't you noticed that when Papa moved in former days, there was consistently more than enough...baskets of loaves and fishes, silver and gold, even forfeited by way of the enemy (the Egyptians)? And in the Miracle Rallies, the Anointing has not strictly moved within, and been limited to auditoriums, but overflow regions, as well. Ground Zero receives a concentration of the supernatural. However, concentrically, the Wave, or ripple effect of the Glory, ongoingly gains momentum to further impact humanity. Precious Child, wealth has been reserved for the Bride in all forms. At one point we discussed the sinner storing up riches for the righteous (you), that in these wonderful days of the Spirit they will throng toward and into the Church, releasing abundance. Much centers on that awesome Cloud, swiftly approaching with a flood of revelation, identity, healing, health, prosperity, Resurrection Power, deliverance, unprecedented, unparalleled and unpredictable signs, wonders and miracles. Has it not been written that I will meet every need according to My riches in (the) Glory? One of the first references of Glory in the Book involves the tangibly precious...silver and gold. Dad has no difficulty with money. In fact, it was an idea birthed within this heart. Satan always attempts to pollute and counterfeit the Creator's handiwork. For every fake, the real must exist. Fabricating a three dollar bill, the nonexistent, wouldn't work too well, since no true currency of that denomination is in circulation. Contemplate the fact that the adversary has no creative ability. He can merely accuse, attempt to trick (master of illusion) and mimic what he personally admires, but can never possibly attain. I will never present the Kids a stone for a loaf of bread, or scorpion for a fish. And here is some good news for those who have been awaiting the Delivery Man. That day is expediently approaching when the enemy will be seen no more...freedom from symptoms, fear (false evidence appearing real), poverty, obscured visions, the cares of this world and deceitfulness of influence and riches. The curse was legally reversed two-thousand years ago. Now vital tasting of the Lord is on the horizon. Consider the significance of giving from this end. I granted the Gift of gifts...Jesus, long ago. He entered the world and very successfully acquired destiny for furtherance of the Kingdom. Although the Master was crucified and buried, He could not be contained in that tomb. Neither can We be kept in a box! I had the last word then, quite literally, and will continue to rule and reign, provide strategies to turn this globe upside down through the Youngsters' obedient endeavors. And that which has come against your life and ministry can no longer be successful in holding you back, since the Supreme Court Justice of the universe neither slumbers nor sleeps, and is constantly watering, as well as watching over His Word (in you) to perform the impartation, or bring it to pass. Precious Soul, you haven't begun to imagine what resides in this Mind, the thoughts I embrace toward the Beloved. Prepare to be attacked with Covenant. These blessings are about to come upon and overtake you. Your season of dryness is just that...a temporary period of challenge and resistance. The Rain is approaching! This is a Glory to Glory process. And the Teacher (Holy Spirit) is also Heaven's Agent of Promotion. The One Who numbers hairs and grants permission for every heartbeat, will perfect everything of concern. He speaks, and all eternity reverberates! Faithful is the Lord of your call, Who also will do it! Have I not promised that the Glory of the latter house must be greater than the former? Of course!"

Dr. Paul N. Gervais

Speak The Word:

The Lord makes me plenteous in goods, in the fruit of my body (healing), and in the fruit of my cattle (prosperity), and the fruit of my ground (an abundant, effective life and ministry). I lend unto many nations, but I do not borrow. Deuteronomy 28:11-12
