Fireside Chat with Bob Jones
by Paul Keith Davis
In late May, Wanda and I were speakers in a conference with Bob Jones in
Birmingham, Alabama. In the ten years that we have been conducting meetings with
Bob, I would say this one went to the highest level as it relates to cooperating
with the Holy Spirit and releasing spiritual impartations.
The pinnacle of the meetings transpired on Saturday evening when the Holy Spirit
graciously came into the building in a powerful way to touch, on some level,
most every person in the sanctuary. Many reported an awakening to their personal
spiritual destiny, while others visibly saw angelic beings and spiritual lights
throughout the building. Numerous others received freedom from hopelessness and
despair with an awakening to the spiritual realm and the hope of their high
calling.
That evening, however, could not be fully appreciated without first
understanding the preparatory work that transpired in the preceding sessions.
Each began to address specific issues necessary for us to encounter heaven in a
tangible way. This was especially true on Saturday morning when Bob received a
descriptive revelation from the Holy Spirit to address a very specific
diabolical plot of the adversary. It was the tyranny of self-pity.
Closing Unholy Gateways
In his vision Bob saw a spiritual gateway or access that was leading to a road
of destruction. It was the broad way that many in this generation will approach.
Unfortunately, something very grievous to the Father was also transpiring.
Misguided sheep were unknowingly wandering through this gate into the unholy
highway, to their untimely demise.
It is the present desire of the Holy Spirit to apprehend leaders who will close
this gateway that provides access to the plans of the adversary so that God's
people would no longer fall prey to its devastation. The vision further
illustrated the symbolic number 12-12. This was to prophetically indicate an
"alpha" governmental order and an "omega" governmental order related to the
early apostolic church and the last day apostolic church.
The impartation of God Himself that transpired on the Day of Pentecost can
justifiably be experienced by apostolic leaders in this day with genuine
spiritual authority like unto that demonstrated in the early church. That
authority will begin to identify and eliminate for the Church access to unholy
gateways.
There are many unholy gateways that are being addressed in this hour. Some are
flagrant and obvious while others are hidden and less conspicuous. The sin of
self-pity is one of the most devastating enemies of our soul, although not as
seemingly apparent as lust, greed, or addictions. It will lead to many issues of
the soul that will steal our destiny and keep us from the high calling of God.
Self-Pity Promotes Blame-Shifting
The spirit of self-pity causes us not to take responsibility for issues for
which we are guilty. In all truthfulness, many who embellish self-pity do not
actually want to be healed, but would rather receive sympathy for their
condition and the circumstances of their life. In reality, most everyone has
experienced, on some level, betrayal, abuse, condemnation, and many other
unfortunate incidents in life. However, God's sacrificial offering on the cross
is the absolute remedy for each of these dilemmas. The redemptive process opens
the door to the justice of God to allow a restoration and even a restitution of
things lost.
Self-pity is a self-centered mind-set that takes a focus off of the Lord Jesus
and His redemption. It can also facilitate the exercise of various excuses for
underachievement in the spiritual arena. Instead, the Lord desires for us to be
Heavenly-minded and healed of these dilemmas so that our wounds become scars of
authority.
According to the promise of Scripture, old things have passed away and all
things become new. To unduly focus on the issues of the past frustrates the
spiritual principle of death to the old man and new life in Christ that brings
every thought into captivity to His obedience. We cannot receive the full
impartation from Heaven available to us while continuing in the malady of
self-pity.
Freedom from self-pity begins with a conscious decision to close the access to
this spiritual poison and receive the revelation of truth pointing to the
restoration of our soul. The Bible highlights that nothing can separate us from
the love of God. That reality unlocks the resources of Heaven to cleanse our
soul from these strongholds.
Overcoming Self-Pity
by Paul Keith Davis
Part of our calling for this day is to discover the realms of heavenly justice
and release those principles to plunder the camp of the enemy to restore the
inheritance of the saints. The economy of heaven will mandate the apprehension
of our heritage in Christ that has been stolen by the adversary. When we come
before the Lord's court to petition for justice, Jesus will readily hear and
respond. The day has arrived for the revelation of His throne and its qualities
of righteousness and justice.
Satan knows this reality and has set plots in motions to nullify the grace of
God in his attempt to preempt the administration of justice. One of his primary
ploys to frustrate or prohibit our promised recovery is by sowing seeds of
self-pity within the soul of men and women when allowed.
Many Christians develop an unhealthy retrospective disposition concerning the
difficulties and afflictions imposed upon them throughout life. Through this
posture, self-pity can emerge if not properly dealt with at the cross. Self-pity
is one of the most blatant weapons in the arsenal employed against Christians.
This snare paves the way for grief, shame and unbelief. It is a stronghold
administered by the adversary to prohibit the full implementation of God's
provision and destiny for us. Self-pity is a demonic power of darkness that can
encompass and clothe individuals in a stifling dungeon of darkness. The Lord
Jesus said,
Therefore take heed that the light which is in you is not darkness. If then your
whole body is full of light, having no part dark, the whole body will be full of
light, as when the bright shining of a lamp gives you light. Luke 11:35-36
In the realm of the spirit, characteristics and emotions of the fallen nature
have a vibrant life and nature of their own. When confronted with difficulty and
hardships from our past, we can emerge from it either healthy or handicapped. If
overcome by self-pity, we never set in motion the spiritual principles of
restoration and recompense inherent through the nature of the Lord in His
justice. With a fully submitted self-will, spiritual dynamics are activated in
our behalf that open the door for spiritual fruitfulness. The choice is ours.
Focusing on Heaven
The heart of the issue is determined by the place of our intense focus. To break
the tyranny of self-pity and self-centeredness means to shift our focus from
"self" to a more God-centered perspective. This can be accomplished by yielding
our will to the Holy Spirit. These principles are more fully understood in the
writings of the apostle Paul when he stated,
But I say, walk and live [habitually] in the [Holy] Spirit [responsive to and
controlled and guided by the Spirit]; then you will certainly not gratify the
cravings and desires of the flesh (of human nature without God). For the desires
of the flesh are opposed to the [Holy] Spirit, and the [desires of the] Spirit
are opposed to the flesh (godless human nature); for these are antagonistic to
each other [continually withstanding and in conflict with each other], so that
you are not free but are prevented from doing what you desire to do. Galatians
5:16-17 (Amplified)
With the proper decisions, the Lord will appoint for us beauty in lieu of ashes
and the oil of joy to replace mourning. He will give the garment of praise in
exchange for the spirit of heaviness. This apparel is defined as spiritual
raiment that envelops us in the attire of "light." The provision of light will
galvanize us with the incorruptible nature providing freedom from the dominion
of darkness and the attributes of the fallen nature.
We are called to be fully engaged, encompassed and enveloped in this heavenly
provision. Our highest choice is to tangibly embrace this realm of the Spirit
and clothe ourselves with heavenly garments. Otherwise we allow ourselves to be
overcome by darkness, discouragement and depression that will nullify or limit
the complete grace package furnished through the blood of Christ. We are
presently being called to embody fierce warlike qualities inherent in the
attributes of those who overcome. When so endowed, the Lord will release us to
plunder the enemy camp and recover His rich heritage.

"Engaging
the Revelatory Realm of Heaven"
by Paul Keith Davis
$12.00 Book |
|
"I do not know what I may appear to the
world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore
and diverting myself now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell
than ordinary, whilst the Great Ocean of Truth lay all undiscovered before me."
- Sir Isaac Newton
An ocean of divine truth is waiting to be discovered. An unprecedented
display of God's power and authority are about to take place in the church. In
this fascinating book, Paul Keith Davis reveals how those anointed with the
Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation will see an awesome demonstration of God's glory
in the coming days.
 "God
is about to raise the bar on revelatory ministry. Just as He did by making sure
that none of Samuel's words went unfulfilled, an acceleration in the prophetic
community is about to occur.
"Over the next several years, we will see a generation of 'throne room' prophets
emerge. Their words will be more powerful than any that have been spoken in
recent years. Their accuracy will be deadly. Today's prophetic community will be
as small children who are like kindergarteners compared to the college-level
expressions that will come. Their prophetic utterances will make the ears of the
world tingle, just as Samuel's did. These throne-room prophets will receive
their power through their intimacy with the majesty of God.
"In Engaging the Revelatory Realm of Heaven, Paul Keith Davis
sheds light about this new level of revelatory ministry that will be built on
intimacy with a majestic picture of God's throne. His book describes the great
call on those who long to engage with the revelatory realm of Heaven. Their
words, forged in the throne room of God, will cause the ears of many to tingle.
Tingling ears will lead to pricked consciences, which will lead to penitent
hearts. And penitent hearts will lead to a renewed world.
"May God's face shine on you as you read Engaging the Revelatory Realm of
Heaven by my friend, Paul Keith Davis. I pray that it will call you into
a great life of intimacy, service, kindness, and friendship with God."

"Supernatural Experiences of the Prophets Today"
Open Heavens Volume I
with Bob Jones, Todd Bentley & Stacey Campbell
$20 Prophetic/Music CD |
 Note
from Steve Shultz, THE ELIJAH LIST:
Finally! I've been waiting for something like this new
CD since I've been involved with prophetic ministry! Now, Wesley Campbell has
produced the FIRST (as far as I know) compilation of "for-such-a-time-as-this"
recorded prophetic words -- mixed with prophetic worship and instrumental music
background. Listen as Bob Jones, Todd Bentley, Lou Engle, and Stacey Campbell
prophesy or relate their important prophetic experiences. My wife and I just
finished listening to this CD, and it's something I HAD to carry so that you
could listen to it too. Be encouraged as Bob Jones tells of his encounter with
Angels and with the Lord while he was yet a child. Listen to what God tells Bob
about the future, and why the year 2003 is such a vitally important year! Few
products would I say that you've just "got" to get. This is one of them. Is it a
prophetic word or a music CD...a story or a prophecy? The answer is "yes" to
all! Finally, Wesley Campbell has produced on one CD -- prophesying, stories of
supernatural encounters, worship, and the performing arts -- as music is
recorded in the background to match the prophetic revelation coming forth. May
this CD be the FIRST OF MANY such CD's. Way to Go, Wesley Campbell! More
information on this first CD is just below...
In expectation of the SUPERNATURAL!
Steve Shultz
Publisher, THE ELIJAH LIST

Daniel prophesied to the leaders of three kingdoms and received visions and
dreams that spanned for successive civilizations. John was able to peer into the
future in a series of apocalyptic trances. Whether from staring into heaven or
by predicting the future, the prophets have always given guidance to the people
of God.
On Supernatural Experiences of the Prophets Today - Open Heavens Vol. I,
Bob Jones, Todd Bentley, Lou Engle, and Stacey Campbell relate their stories,
visions, experiences, and encounters with God and His angels.
Listen as contemporary prophets and visionaries reveal what the Spirit is saying
to us today.

revealing how Jesus sent him back to help prepare the Church for the
billion-soul harvest. These supernatural stories will build your faith and build
in you a greater desire to participate in what God is doing throughout the earth
today!
