Paul
Keith Davis and Bob Jones: "The Light of Favor and Grace is Upon Us. And
Doubt Not, Have Faith to Move Mountains"
 The beginning of 2007 has already marked a
significant shift in the Spirit for this coming season. It was as though
the Lord drew a line in the sand on December 31st, launching the Church into a
new release of His grace.
Although there are clearly difficult issues ahead, it will also be a season of
profound victories. A Scripture was given to me for those who desperately desire
to live on a higher plain with Him. It came from 1 Peter 4:2-3 saying,
"That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of
men, but for the will of God. For we have spent enough of our past lifetime in
doing the will of the Gentiles."
The time in our past is already sufficient for living according to the spirit of
this world. We can now close the door on the past and proceed into the future
and no longer live motivated by the will of the flesh, but for the will of God.
There is a tangible grace that can be apprehended for this incredible mandate.
That is our prayer and it will constitute the essence of
everything we do in this coming season. Let us press on to live the remainder of
our days on this earth for the will of God and the Glory of His Son, Jesus.
 The Light of Favor
"The time has now arrived for the Body of Christ
to be endowed with eyes of illumination that are flooded with Heaven's light."
In the course of ministering to His people, the Lord often allows tokens or
expressions of His grace that helps identify individuals He desires to bless.
This was initiated with me a couple of years ago. I discovered when I looked at
certain people they seemed to stand out of the crowd in a specific way. It was
as though their countenance shone more brilliantly, like a light of illumination
around them.
Invariably, I discovered these people were experiencing some measure of God's
dealings at that precise moment. On one occasion, the apostle Paul was
ministering at Lystra and noticed a crippled man listening to his message. The
Bible tells us that Paul looked intently at him and recognized Heaven's virtue
on the man and declared with a loud voice, "Stand upright on your feet." The
passage goes on to tell us that the man was instantly healed. (See
Acts 14:8-10)
There was something imparted to Paul that allowed him to see an anointing of
grace and favor sufficient for the man's healing. I recall recognizing something
similar on a young woman in an audience of 1,600. I identified her and asked her
to come forward and describe to the gathering what was taking place the moment I
pointed to her.
Unexpectedly, my next thought turned to apprehension as something said to me,
"What if she was thinking about going to McDonald's for a hamburger at that
precise moment?" Nevertheless, I knew that I recognized God's anointing of light
around her and believed that He was dealing with her.
Fortunately, this turned out well! She testified before the congregation that at
that precise moment, something surrounded her and reminded her of an experience
she had many years before as a young girl when the Lord spoke to her about her
personal destiny.
Grounded in the Word
"When filled with His
Spirit, we are illuminated with His virtue."
Naturally, everything we do in a spiritual context needs to be grounded in God's
Word. When I began to articulate this unique anointing before God's people, I
desired a Scripture to Biblically highlight its reality. Inevitably, our enemy
attempts to counterfeit everything God is doing, and I wanted our confidence to
be in the Lord and His Word.
I understood that the Bible clearly tells us that our God is the Father of
lights. Furthermore, we are described as the "light" of the world and shine as a
city set on a hill that cannot be hidden. When filled with His Spirit, we are
illuminated with His virtue. Though we may not always recognize it in the
natural realm, it is nevertheless true.
When I asked the Lord for a Scripture to further substantiate what I was seeing,
He led me to a passage that was somewhat surprising, but incredibly encouraging.
"Oh that I were as in months gone by, as in the days when God watched over me;
When His lamp shone over my head, and by His light I walked through darkness; As
I was in the prime of my days, when the friendship of God was over my tent; When
the Almighty was yet with me, and my children were around me; When my steps were
bathed in butter, and the rock poured out for me streams of oil!" Job 29:2-6
The Lamp of God shines above our heads as an emblem of His favor and grace. The
Holy Spirit emphasized this passage at the end of 2006 as a banner for 2007 and
beyond. For those who are desperate to move deeper into the things of His Spirit
and live the life of one who overcomes, this season will be a time of grace for
advancement.
This Scripture provides a word picture of someone living in God's fellowship and
favor. At the time of this proclamation, Job was experiencing a period of
refinement and pruning that caused him to temporarily lose the awareness of
God's friendship and communion. It was only his comprehension that was
suspended, not God's love for him.
Perhaps this describes what many believers have been experiencing in this past
season. Fortunately, we know that Job emerged from this undertaking with even
greater measures of God's blessing and Heavenly light resting upon him.
A Season of Light
The time has now arrived for the Body of Christ to be endowed with eyes of
illumination that are flooded with Heaven's light. That is, we are to begin to
embody more fully the radiance and revelation of the Lord Jesus and His Kingdom.
We are not merely to have the message of the Kingdom, but become the message.
We are to be living epistles and God's Word incarnate if we are to meet the
needs of this generation and become the army prophesied in Scripture. The lamp
of God shining upon us is a symbolic representation of God's favor for this
purpose.
The steps of this company will be "bathed in butter" as a portrayal of the walk
of those who overcome and live as "victorious ones." This designation
illustrates a divine orchestration that establishes the walk of the righteous
and the fulfillment of Heavenly purposes.
Likewise, we are to demonstrate the message of healing and deliverance to a
needy generation. That is the "butter" that bathes the path of the righteous and
the "streams of oil" that prepare the way for those who are called the friends
of God. The pathway of God's people should be lined with miracles, signs, and
wonders to validate the message of the Kingdom and cultivate the souls of those
who hear it.
Butter, along with olive oil, are two of the more perfect oils provided in nature.
They are symbolically used to illustrate the favor and blessing placed upon
God's covenant people. The Lord has been prophetically releasing these emblems
of His grace in this present season of the Spirit.
Favor for Victory
Divine favor is defined as God's goodwill and acceptance that provides spiritual
benefits that flow from Him. It was God's favor that allowed Moses to understand
His ways and ultimately ask to see His glory.
Without this endowment, we simply cannot achieve the mandate placed upon us as
God's representation on earth. The arm of the flesh, no matter how articulate or
gifted, is woefully inadequate to meet the demands of this needy generation.
Only Christ in us, supernaturally doing through us what He did on the earth in
human form, can meet the challenge.
That is the model we see demonstrated in the early Church. It pleased the Lord
to utilize illiterate fishermen by stepping into them and living through them to
change the world.
God's favor promised in this passage (Job 29:2-6)
will do five things:
1. Provide God's continual friendship and counsel in our homes and ministries.
2. Provide perpetual fellowship in His presence.
3. Our children will return to us and enter their destiny.
4. Our steps will be established with blessings and favor.
5. The Holy Spirit's anointing will flow freely in our lives.
Butter on the Lips of God's Priests
In Isaiah 7:15, this expression is prophetically utilized to characterize the
nature of the Lord's life and ministry and a time of maturing,
"Butter and honey
will He eat until He discovers the distinction between light and darkness and
learns to refuse evil and choose good." This is the ministry of extraction and
separation of the mature that we are presently being called to.
"But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses
trained to discern good and evil." Hebrews 5:14
This revelation is prophetically speaking of a people coming to spiritual
maturity that experience God's favor and light of revelation that provides a
higher wisdom direct from Heaven's Throne.
The Zadok Priesthood portrayed in Ezekiel 44, is also a representation of the
Royal Priesthood presently emerging for this divine purpose. It will be their
duty to begin to separate and extract the precious from the profane...the clean
from the unclean.
Those who emerge in this hour according to the characteristics described in
these passages will be the ones who have "butter" on their lips to convey
Heavenly wisdom and live under the lamp of His favor.
 Fireside Chat with Bob Jones and Paul Keith Davis:
"Have Faith--Nothing is too Difficult for Him"
Recently, I heard Bob Jones share the testimony of a revelation he received from
the Lord concerning our lack of the miraculous in the Western Church. His
revelation was that we, in the West, believe that all things are possible with
God. Our problem, however, is with the issue of "doubt."
To be honest, I struggled with this insight for sometime before the Lord helped
me understand it more fully. Initially, it seems that his revelation is a
contradiction. After all, having faith that God is a big God and can do all
things is fundamental to our belief in the nature and character of God.
Therefore, how is it that we continue to have doubt?
The answer was found in Mark 11:22-23:
"Jesus answered saying to them, 'Have faith in God. Truly I say to you, whoever
says to this mountain, "Be taken up and cast into the sea," and does not doubt
in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it will be
granted him.'"
Careful examination of this passage reveals that the Lord Jesus was dealing with
two realms: First the realm of belief that nothing is too difficult for God, and
then the realm of doubt that He will do miraculous things in response to us as
individuals.
Believe and Doubt Not
 "We believe that God heals and delivers through some great healing evangelist,
but we doubt he will do it 'through little 'ol me.'"
The lesson our Lord was teaching His disciples and us, dealt with the
supernatural arena of faith; faith so great, that mountains could be removed.
Those could be mountains of opposition or literal mountains of dirt and stone.
There will be a place in God in this coming day that both will become reality.
The Lord made the proclamation for us to, "Have faith in God"; He then begins to
apply the principle on an individual basis declaring, "I say to you." He is now
addressing us singularly and our personal place of faith in Him. Whichever one
of us as individuals says to a mountain, "Be removed" and does not doubt in his
heart, but also believes that the sayings will come to pass, that person will
have whatsoever he says.
Here you can see both dimensions: the realm of belief and the extraction of
personal doubt. When the Lord began to talk to me about this principle, He made
me understand that many in the Western Church believe that He is an all-powerful
God. We believe that if He ever raised the dead, then He will always raise the
dead.
We believe that He is the God of the miraculous and the God of multiplication.
However, although we believe that God does all these things, we doubt that He
will do them through us.
We believe that God heals and delivers through some great healing evangelist,
but we doubt he will do it "through little 'ol me." Many Western Christians
believe that God still does great things; they simply doubt that he will use
them as individuals to accomplish the extraordinary. Therefore, it falls into
the realm of revelation for us to see our individual role in this economy and
engage ourselves in the supernatural dimension of God's nature.
Why Not Here?
In the course of interviewing various ministries who have seen miraculous things
in Third World nations, we discovered something interesting. They related that
people in these desperate nations simply do not have doubt. Once they are
convinced of the reality of the Lord Jesus, they instantly see the miraculous,
because they have not been acclimated to the realm of doubt as we have in the
West.
They are spiritually-minded people, although most often it has been
misappropriated on idolatry; once their belief system is rightly aligned with
our Savior, then the miraculous flows freely. When they believe, they believe
wholeheartedly that God will do for them what has been articulated by the
missionaries.
The prophet once said, "Ah Lord GOD! Behold, you have made the Heavens and the
earth by Your great power and by Your outstretched arm! Nothing is too difficult
for You." Jeremiah 32:17
Let us now in this generation, begin to appropriate our faith in this living
reality without doubting His desire to do great things for each of us as
individuals. As the apostle James once said,
"But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously
and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But he must ask in faith
without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven
and tossed by the wind." James 1:5-6

We have crossed a threshold in
Heaven's timeline. The Bible calls it the
"fullness of time." The apostle Paul in his epistle to the Galatians stated, 
"Life's
best moments are always characterized by peace, fulfillment, and blessings--an
experience treasured only by those who have truly discovered their destiny or
purpose. Paul Keith Davis excellently conveys this age-old principle in his
profound work, Books of Destiny. This powerful book will incite you to
walk in the special plans God has designed for you. I highly recommend it!"
