"For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea." Habakkuk 2:14
"And by the hand of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people...(And believers were the more added to the Lord)." Acts 5:12, 14
"Now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak the word." Acts 4:29
Great excitement is in the air! The rain has begun! Reports of mighty signs and wonders are being openly voiced, as this earth is filled with the "knowledge of the Glory of God."
I reflect on a recent gathering in Rutland, Vermont, when the Holy Spirit moved, again, in His way, for the Father's glory, literally filling or replacing teeth with pure gold. At least twenty-five individuals are walking around today, astounding many with their incredible testimonies. Several dentists, present at a recent Miracle Rally, readily confirmed the manifestation. One exclaimed, "This is pretty good work!" Three recipients were from the Greater Augusta area.
What does all of this really mean? Well, first of all, it's certainly a confirmation that God is alive, well and fulfilling His promise to flood this globe with unprecedented signs, wonders and miracles. Of great importance is to avoid explaining everything the Father does, which would be impossible. He is management, and we are sales! The Lord can do whatever He chooses and really doesn't need our permission!
The Church is being prepared for strong meat and an unparalleled influx of souls. The best is yet to come. Our job is to believe for that imminent Outpouring. Hasn't He promised to fill our mouths with good things (Psalm 103:5), even if it means gold fillings? This is just the beginning of that which is to be poured out!
The Father recently accorded a moving vision. In it, I perceived a stream with many rocks, some large and others small. Around each flowed the most pristine water imaginable. The Word of the Lord came to me saying, "Paul, those stones represent My Children who are stuck and refuse to flow in the Spirit. Some are clinging to worldly possessions, cares and fears. Others remained paralyzed with concern over letting go and trusting Me. Even though they are being impacted to some extent by the Glory, there remains a struggle. A few occasionally break loose and proceed with the current. Yet, not all totally yield to My will. Consequently, I have to circumvent mentalities that are not in line with the Blood-bought Covenant. Know this! Nothing can stop the great floodtide of Life that is about to impact this world. However, it is within My plan to continue tugging at hearts, promoting mid-course corrections and directions, obedience to nudgings and promptings. Those yielding to the Spirit will be transformed, from Glory to Glory, into living or lively stones, singing forth praises and performing greater works. This is the hour for My Body to shine. The Sleeping Giant(Church) is about to arise with mighty authority, a miracle-working anointing and burning desire to set at liberty, all bruised by the enemy. An unprecedented love for souls will be the foundation of that move. Get ready! Sell out completely. To the extent that men, women and children lay down the lower life, that higher walk in Me will be realized. In these final days, the Beloved will resemble their Groom more than ever before, in Spirit, soul, body, thought, word and outcome! Plainly speaking, the Church will act and look exactly like the One it represents. A quick work will I do, astounding even those vessels used. Then shall I come with majesty, glory and honor."
Let's delve into that Glory. It is surely more than just a goose-bump, but a manifestation of His very essence and nature.
In both the natural and spiritual realms, one keenly senses the pulse beat of the Father's heart, a sense of urgency and invigorating expectation. The Word is in manifestation everywhere! Prophesies are being fulfilled. Events have been witnessed that would cause the very prophets of old to become envious.
We need to recognize that God has built a guidance (radar) system within each Christian. The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, the place in which He makes known His desires and will. It is time for us to trust the indwelling Spirit of Truth, as we wake up to Heaven's Glory.
"When can I expect that outpouring?" Well, the season is upon us. Most Believers have a vague comprehension of that Glory. To many, it is merely a religious term, or some kind of spiritual thrill that produces chill bumps.
The true definition of the Father's Glory is His manifest Presence, much more powerful than any sense-realm encounter. However, before we can truly begin to expect it, there must exist an understanding of what that Divinely orchestrated blessing actually means.
1 Chronicles says, "Glory and honor are in God's Presence." The English language has a rather weak definition in describing that topic. It can mean splendor, but also embraces boasting and pride, which actually have nothing at all to do with the Father's Glory.
The Hebrew translation for Glory means "desire, adornment, honor, beauty, majesty, cleanliness, purity, preciousness, rarity, weight and heaviness." So, when one says that God is glorious, the implication is this: He is heavy with everything good...prosperity, healing, deliverance, salvation, provision, signs, wonders and miracles. If your body needs to be healed, God is heavy with an anointing to get the job done. Are you short on finances? His Glory is heavy with them! We are to always have full sufficiency in all things pertaining to life and Godliness.
What we're talking about here is living (abiding) in the heaviness of His Presence, until Covenant's Power breaks through into the natural realm. That happens more and more, as we completely surrender to Him. Physical manifestations will increase, while faith pulls that which is seen into the realm of the unseen!
We are living in that prophetic hour prophesied by Zechariah: "Ask of the Lord rain in the time of the latter and spring rain. It is the Lord Who makes lightnings, which usher in the rain and give men showers of it, to every one grass in the field."
In this verse (Zechariah 10:1) he wasn't simply referring to natural rain or lightnings, but to that bright, shining cloud of God's Glory that would usher in the outpouring of His Spirit, opening the way for an end-time harvest of souls. He was pointing to the same day James was talking about in the New Testament.
Both Zechariah and James were given a glimpse into what was going to occur immediately preceding Jesus' return. That's our day! The Presence has begun to flash all around us, while the rain descends on the just and unjust alike.
Just think! The Father has chosen us, this generation of Believers, to assist, as He ushers in the Glory! What an honor that is! With that privilege comes an awesome responsibility. We cannot afford to sit around playing church, without giving thought to the meaning of Heaven's manifest Presence.
No! Our mandate is to follow the Apostle Paul's example, with a determined purpose to know Him, the Anointed One and His Anointing, to be acquainted with the Savior's burden-removing, yoke-destroying Power, and to know the Power of His Resurrection, which, according to Romans 6:5, is the Glory of God (Philippians 3:10). Christian's must move forward, until he or she, comes to an understanding of His latter-day plan.
Some might say, "I'm not seeking His Glory, only the Father's heart. That provides contentment."
However, you can't separate the two...Jesus, the Anointed One and His Anointing, from the Glory. How can we extract the Holy Spirit, or the Creator, from the Presence? In no way is that possible! They are all One...all glorious! Remember, the Glory is the manifestation of God, Himself. As we seek Him, signs and wonders directly and freely follow, since that is how He confirms the revealed Word!
"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, fire and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be delivered." Joel 2:21, 30-32
We need to understand that when those verses talk about blood, fire and pillars of smoke, they are not alluding to destruction, but manifestations that are to arrive before that day. They are the signs and wonders in the heavens above and the earth beneath, occurring during the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Notice a key line in that portion of Scripture..."Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be delivered." That's not destruction, but liberation and revival!
I once asked the Lord about how all that would unfold. Why would the sun not shine? The answer arrived swiftly. "That Cloud of My Presence will be so dense, it will block out all natural light!"
The Shekinah Cloud of God was evidenced in both Old and New Testaments. In the Old, Israel viewed a pillar of smoke in the daytime and a pillar of fire at night. That same fire appeared on the Day of Pentecost.
One day, that Glory will be so thick on entire cities that people won't be able to see the sunshine, but instead, a condensation impacting all creation with God's greatest display of grandeur. The enemy's head has surfaced too frequently. He has been allowed to make the first move on that proverbial chess board, taking his best shot. Nonetheless, the Almighty is about to vitally win the game and clean that boy's clock!
Do you yearn to be a part of this? Then, get ready! People are about to drop to their knees on streets, having been struck by the Power of the Spirit...rain that obliterates sin, sickness, poverty and death on the spot, right before the eyes of all present. Multitudes will run to churches, as whole cities and nations turn to Jesus.
Heaven and earth have never been closer. One is about to mirror the other. The Voice of the Lord will be heard more clearly than ever, as He tells us what to say and do, how to pray. Yield to Him without reservation. Don't hold back! Flow with that wonderful stream of Glory, until you hear these precious words..."Come up hither!"

The Holy Spirit spoke to me, years ago, in an Orange County mausoleum, of all places, prior to that Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) Gold Manifestation, witnessed by millions. This is what He had to say: "Southern California has been deemed 'Ground Zero' for this Ministry. Your journey will be far-reaching, to the far corners of the earth. However, focus must remain on this region...Greater Los Angeles. I have richly anointed and called you to take My Word and Heaven's miraculous to where Glory's Light is dim and the Father's Voice is seemingly silent."
Additionally, the Lord has entrusted this work with the hearts of many precious souls, from prisoners to the extremely well known in the arts. Heaven possesses unbelievable Supernatural plans for each. We must be faithful to that call, deliver those messages, and become dutiful servants.
