"And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days. I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and billows of smoke." Joel 2:28-30

"I will send you rain in its season, and the ground will yield its crops and the trees of the field their fruit." Leviticus 26:4

'"Come, let us return to the Lord. He has torn us to pieces (permissive sense) but he will heal us; he has injured us (permissive sense) but he will bind up our wounds. After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will restore us (Resurrection Life), that we may live in his presence. Let us acknowledge the Lord; let us press on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth.'" Hosea 6:1-3

While enjoying His Presence at my condo in Southern California, a high level of anticipation invades my spirit. With certainty, I know that the Third Person of the Trinity is poised to blow the socks off the Bride, while turning this world upside down with Heaven's miraculous.

INCREASING COMPASSION BEING IMPARTED

-------------------------------------

The Revelator has been imparting an increased level of compassion lately. During the past few days, this heart seems to be feeling God's grief, more than ever before, particularly in regions of human suffering. Most of its content involves attack and loss.

Since viewing a recent news clip of Brittanie Cecil, a precious 13-year-old from Dayton, Ohio, being struck by an out-of-control NHL hockey puck, my spirit has been incessantly grieving and weeping. In fact, ridding this mind of the fatal event, as seen on international news programs, remains almost impossible.

A CASE FOR LIFE

----------------

Thoughts surface, emphasizing the unfairness of that act from hell. She wanted to live. Certainly, in God's eyes, this teen's destiny wasn't to culminate in her body evicting a spirit and soul that could have reached scores for Christ. To the contrary, the ordeal mocks the Word, which promises a Covenant of wellness, Divine protection against natural and supernatural disasters, an "always having," full sufficiency posture in everything pertaining to life and godliness. Before the Supreme Court Justice of the Universe, a solid case for life could be made and easily won!

-------------------------------------------------

TIME FOR THE CHURCH TO CARRY OUT JOB DESCRIPTION

-------------------------------------------------

Some might say, "Paul, things like that happen in this world." No one can disagree. However, it's time for the Church to move in and carry out Her job description, well articulated in Matthew 10:8. Jesus did! He preached the Gospel, healed the sick, cast out devils, and most definitely, raised the dead. Furthermore, the Man effectively role-modeled a behavior for the Redeemed and made one point particularly clear. "Behave in like fashion. Even greater works than these shall you do!"

If this onslaught, as well as other works of the adversary, is proper, why does it feel so wrong? Is anyone rejoicing? Satan has no right to God's creation...our inheritance. As Joint-Heirs, we are to rule and reign with Christ. The uttermost parts of this earth belong to you and me, including the heathen, and we know His will for their lives...full redemption and restoration.

-----------------

LOVE NEVER FAILS

-----------------

Compassion is the key. Don't be fearful of this emotion. Its root is love, and faith gains potency from that attribute. Love never fails. So, why not stick with an entity that guarantees complete success?

Has the Holy Spirit been speaking to your heart with an empathic, almost overwhelming sense of urgency for others? If so, don't deny, minimize or rationalize what He's endeavoring to gestate on the inside and ultimately perform. The Church has been called to individual and collective gapstanding, a posture of vital redemption. The reaper is to surpass the sower, in terms of both the natural and supernatural.

This is in era of identity and full return, via the Body of Christ. The thief is to steal no more. Permitting compassion to rule will culminate in a tenacity yet to be witnessed by the world, gapstanders who refuse removal from their position of promoting Covenant and the miraculous.

------------------------------------

BOWELS OF COMPASSION RULED EACH DAY

------------------------------------

The Master trusted His belly. Bowels of compassion ruled each day of ministry. He was obedient to those nudgings and promptings on the inside. Never once did they fail. Can you think of a single occasion when the supernatural refused to manifest in response to the Son's stirrings? He groaned, and the very laws of nature were suspended for humanity's benefit.

Gestate that dream or vision. Desires lead to destiny. Never fear missing the mark, if Jesus is the Lord of your life. He won't present a stone for a loaf of bread. The Comforter will bear witness to those Throne Room revelations.

THE RAIN HAS BEGUN!

-------------------

THE WORD OF THE LORD:

"Beloved, the day of Rain is upon this planet, a long-awaited period of Outpouring...Heaven's miraculous, embracing both the former and latter Covenants.

"This, indeed, is the prophet's hour to shine, a time when all articulated and manifested will fall in line with that which has been written. Nothing is accomplished in the spirit or natural realms, unless I first tell My servant, the Prophet, since he gives voice to Heaven's intent.

"Diligently support and honor that Vessel. Darkness and all contrary to the Word will be a direct challenge to the Light that has been implanted within all Who have dedicated themselves to Throne Room visits and intimacy with the Father. Out of those occasions of fellowship, revelation and subsequent, earthshaking results will be prolific. Yes, the vision will speak. Even news reports of negativity must gain the Children's attention to a point where an all-important question is asked...'What would you have me to do, Father?

"I sense Your compassion and am standing at the table, ready and waiting to follow that Cloud of Glory.' Trust that perception of dissatisfaction, from which will surface a visible reversal of the curse. Some will be asked to travel, nationally and internationally, with God's Remedy to very specific people, places and things, as the media take notice, often concluding stories of horror and defeat with resounding reports of victory and resurrection.

"Allow yourself to not enter into depression. Stand and resist! The vision is certain. Though it tarry, faithfully obey and await manifestation. Revelation's language is often a quickening, an unveiling of injustice and a demand for action. No darkness can possibly resist the Light, Life and Love that have freely been given you, Empowered One! Liberally has the Family received. Dispense in like fashion. Your every movement will become a prophecy fulfilled."
