STAY IN THE SPIRIT OF "OUR WEAKNESS" HIS STRENGTH

This goes along with the theme "The Year of the Standing or Falling"



I have in the past risk sharing my weaknesses to get a spiritual truth across.  If you have ever read the letters of Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians, you will see that he boasted in his weakness, in hope that these Corinthians would see that his power wasn’t of him but the Lord.  At one point Paul wondered if he was wrong in doing this.  He thought, maybe he should have came boasting and bragging as the other “super fine apostles”, the heaped up teachers that that church had gathered around them did.  He complain to the Lord about it and has the Lord say to him, “Go ahead, pull out both guns and let them have it.”  Paul does but later feels silly for allowing them to draw him into the competitive game we see going on even today, teacher after teacher  sharing the word of God in the spirit of contention.  Remember our meaning of this word, Contention;” “to put one’s self forward over another.”  Paul backs off, admits his stupidity for getting caught up in this silly game, and says to them that he would not come to them again in such silliness, but would, through his weakness, allow the Lord to come to them in POWER.  He warns them, “You don’t want me to come to you in this way!”  

 

The early beginnings of the “Way” or what we call the church, had seen the Lord manifested in such power that even the secular world saw it, and stayed away; they realized that this was an organization that did manifest the power of God.  I wonder if the world today sees this in the church?  We have got it backwards, we in our self claimed strength, thing we are rich, when in truth we are poor, blind, wretched and naked, needing eye salve that we might see what Paul saw, His strength only comes to us when we are weak.

 

Everything I just shared is “Written” in the letters of Paul.  I just expressed it in Living Words, of my own experience; my coming to weakness, stepping down off a platform of an institution setting, and sharing what the Lord has wanted me to share over the years through my weakness.  Because I have done this, I have had those that read, view what the Lord had wanted to share to all of us through this earthen vessel, called Paul Woodward, I have seen them set aside, esteem less than the teachings of these super fine apostles, still on the stage and on national T.V. or on the web, raising up the things they have shared, casting aside what I know the Lord has want to share from this treasure in me, that the Excellency be of the Lord and not me.  I type this sensing “silliness” as Paul had once felt, in his attempt to promote himself.  So, I will back off, as he did, and say as he had said. “When I come to you again, I will come to you in my weakness, but will allow the Power of God to be manifested through this vessel….”Do you want me to come to you in such power?”  Paul

 

Read  Acts chapter 5….”This is what’s coming!!”  Apply this to, “The year of the Standing or Falling.”

2015 "The Year of the Standing or Falling"

Without going into some long draw out explaination of how I sense a "Yearly Theme" each year, over the years I have seen these themes play out in my life.  These come up from my inward spirit which I give credit to God, our creator, through His Son and what He accomplished by His coming to this planet to kick start this dormant area of our make up, that of our human spirit.  I have dealt with this matter in other future writings which I will post in a Blog here soon.  But for now, understand that credit is given where credit is due. 

As to this year's theme given to me; here are quick single words and sentences that later turned into paragraphs and pages you will find in this post.
2015...the year of the standing or falling

“Let it play out”(See article below)

 
                                              “It begins with the house of God”

 “Stay in the spirit”

“TRUE COLORS WILL FLY”

“The “HOUSE” is meant to be the House of the Government.

“The rain will fall”

ROBBING GOD OF HIS GLORY
 
“Satan is casting out Satan”
“Why do good people do bad things? There is none that do good, None”
THE SPILLOVER
                               WRITING ON THE WALL IN DANIEL:  “MENE  MENE  TEKEL  UPHARSIN”


Sat 11/8/2014 5:58 AM
I just asked what He meant.  He replied that He had already shared my answer in my “Verses Used often” on my desk top…here is what I found on this matter of letting this year’s theme play out.

RESULT OF FAITH WITHHELD

Deut. 32:20 “And He said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be; for they are a very forward generation, children in whom is no FAITH.” (Faith implying their not seeking His input into their lives.)


If God, at any given time, is doing what this text is saying – hiding Himself – He will say to you, “let it play out!”  You know what He means.  In hindsight you will see what He had seen all along…the result of His withholding His hand and how He uses this to gain their attention.)
This thought "Let it play out" will be developed later in this blog post.  For now let me move on...
Well, I was reminded of an article I had place in one of my books in the making, here is that article in light of God removing His hand during 2015...
 

CHAPTER 22

WITH DRAW OF GOD’S HAND

 

The further we get from God doesn’t mean that God’s power is withdrawn.  He power is still there; it is only that now His power is set free from His guiding Hand and let loose in the earth.  Mankind will find they cannot control such power….you see why earth will moan and groan waiting for the manifestation of the Sons of God.  It, nature, is not seeing this manifestation thus the WORST this earth has ever seen will occur.  God’s guiding hand had intended to be through the sons of God…again this is not occurring.  So, if judgment begins, it begins with the house of God….different twist to this text…judgment through neglect on the part of the Church to do what it had been called to do.  Some are doing their part in the areas that they live; you see this if watching for it.  God’s withdrawing of His hand, the last strong hold of those who know what they are called to do will soon be removed, leaving this world without this restraining force in the earth….”only He (this remnant) that now lets (exercises their calling) lets (controls) until they be taken away.” It is then that this spirit of this age, which is anti-Christ, will be manifested.  This world will then experience tribulation that this world has never seen or will ever see again because the restrain force of this remnant is removed… you can see why He cuts those days short, unless all flesh perish.

As I have said, the sustaining power of God has always been there, yet the further mankind gets from God, the more this power is set free to do its destructive work.  This power would have served mankind rather then destroyed them; if only they had not allowed their thoughts to depart from God..as it was in the days of Noah, every imagination of the hearts of men were evil; evil in the sense that they worshipped the creation more than its creator….this creation, set loose from God’s good purposes can only do its uncontrolled worst.  Creation is only power needing control; leave God out of the picture and it is only raw power set loose; the magician’s wand in the hands of fallen men.
 
I hope you have some idea now of what "Let it play out" meant for me.  I had written on this years prior to 2015, not really understanding its importance, I do now.  We are going to experience the removal of His hand in 2015.
 
Well, another writing from this same book I am editing applies also to this year's theme...here is that article:
 

CHAPTER 20
RENDER TO CAESAR WHAT IS CAESAR’S
 
If we as a nation had rendered to God what was God’s, His HAND would be on this nation and what Caesar demanded would be met, but Woe to Caesar if what it demanded were not in line with the will of God.  Where is Pilate today or the once great empire of Rome?  It had taken what it thought was its own (Jesus giving to it the gold coin from the mouth of a fish and telling those who sought to fight against the evil of Rome and its Caesar to render to Caesar what Caesar demanded.)  The giving was the RENDERING of judgment on Rome.  Today, giving this Federal Government what it is demanding will render to it the Judgment of God on a nation that has turned from God.  God withdraws His hand and it appears that evil is taking over….note, I said appears.  The once mighty Empire of Rome has fallen, yet today we see it forming again under a New World Order; yet notice, it’s once mighty power has diminished.  So, what appears is missed because what we learn from history is that we do not learn from history.  What is the lesson here?  The more God withdraws His hand the more it appears that evil gains power, yet what we see is that this power is less than its past reign of power.  We forget, thus think we are mightier than that previous great Empire; we are NOT!  We can’t, as a world, turn away from God and think in our turning away to gain power; we lose power and are living in the illusion of power.  What little power is given will bring this sudden destruction after they think all is safe, and peace is around the bend.  No, what is around the bend is God’s wrath against a world that has turn from Him as its creator.  Its collective mind is no match to the power of God. 
So, give to them what they demand.  The more they ask the sooner the judgment.  You heap coals of fire on their heads of state.  God will provide you with the coals of fire (your ability to pay the coming taxes).  What you render is towards the judgment of those demanding control via such tools as taxes.  You do not want to fight Rome; Rome is already judged and your paying these taxes is evidence of this judgment against them and will scream out in their coffers.  Render to Rome what it is due…judgment.
 
Here are a few e-mails I sent out in light of this year's theme:
 
Dec. 6, 2014
In our spirits, we can see this.  We do not FOLLOW the news, we see through the news…and in our spirits we see them digging deeper and deeper to where now, from this dug hole, a crack is starting to form.  The Spirit of Prophecy, which is Jesus, had told us, “The lame duck (Obama) will quack, and the nation will crack, and people will reaction.”  CNN News keeps digging and digging to where now they are producing a crack in this nation through reactions in city after city.  Pray in your quicken spirits with me that we do not get caught up in all of this,….Stay in the spirit.  Paul
 
Dec. 8, 2014
Thinking alone the line of the “heap of Teachers” that I mention in a recent e-mail, this picture is confirmation to what was shared.  It also goes along with this year’s theme.  I attempted today to put up our Christmas tree, the top lights just would not light.  I heard this, “Top of the heap”  have gone out.  I will only say, take this for what it is worth.  It has begun, “From the top down” the falling.  (I had this ready to send out, but before sending it to you, I listened to Alex Jones’ Sunday show on Youtube… “half of the Senate that voted for Obama Care is GONE”  Those HIGH teachers are being remove off of the heap – this is the secular world, watch for it to happen in the religious world.


DEC. 10, 2014 SATAN CASTING OUT SATAN

I have written about this before, but for now, I got this again today, a second reminder, after listening to various things on the web. Satan is blowing the whistle on Satan. He is like Agent Smith in the movie “The Matrix”; he knows his time is short, his demise is certain, to the point that he is thinking that if he goes down, he is going to take down with him as many as he can, devil or men. He is out for total destruction. Have you notice how more and more “channeled spirits” are appearing to join in on this “exposing” game that is going. These “spirits” are exposing the very things they helped create. Let me explain briefly what I have written about in the past at length.

It was Jesus who had said, “if Satan cast out Satan, his kingdom will fall.” If that doesn’t tell you something nothing will. Call it a prophecy of Satan’s kingdom, that he has been putting together for centuries, will be brought down by his own stupid efforts. He only created it to destroy it all along, using devils and men to do it. It is like he is walking into a crowd strapped with explosives; he has had no other plan then to bring it all down including himself. My God, he is even using the over whelming interest in Biblical prophecy in our generation. Just look at the millions of web sites that are getting into END TIMES; it is mind boggling. It is like he wants to be exposed more now than ever. The more the exposure the better; kind of like some of the stupid stunts Hollywood actors do just to get focused on. The worst they are the greater they become; crazy!

And the sad truth is, that it is working. It is like he discovered that the strength of sin is the law; meaning if you want someone to investigate a matter more than normal, “JUST EXPOSE IT.” It has the “Elite,” that he has “played” over the years, scared to death. Well, he will even use this to get them to try to maintain their so-called order using extreme forces (the god of forces). Of course it will meet with resistance; more killings, more death – he just loves it. Man that is pure evil at work, pitting man again man, devil against devil. He has no interest in either party!

Many have had no idea of what is gone on around them; which was an old plan Satan used – keeping them ignorant. He now has changed his tactics to where exposure is working more for him than ignorance. When gurus, mystics, new age chandlers start exposing evil, using evil spirits to do this, it should have raised a red flag in our minds; thinking, “why would the devil seek to cast out the devil?” So many today are saying that there is an “AWAKENING” going on today in society, yet haven’t a clue of what is really happening. Yes, there might be an awakening, but who and to what end is doing it??? When Satan is awakening, exposing what he himself created, it spells THE END OF HIS KINGDOM, which will include him and EVERYTHING. It is almost as if he is saying, “I’ll be damned if God is going to end this thing; I WILL DO IT MYSELF before He does.” What kind of thinking is this??? Well, nothing but PURE EVIL CRAZINESS!! If there is anything that we should be awaking to, it is what I have been told twice now. Do you see what I am saying???? Now can you see why those days will be cut short? The devil will not be allowed to get his desires fulfilled….GOD started this, and He will end it…period!!





 

Confirmation of this year’s theme from a Dear Sister in Christ:

Amazing information.  Your comment confirmed for me this year’s theme “the Year of the Standing or falling.”  You said, “We know a house or nation divided will fall.”  Every year themes are given to me unprompted by me or circumstance…just come up in my spirit.  Then later, from another source it is confirmed….you just confirmed it, amazing.  Just prior to reading your e-mail the Lord said that I misunderstood what He meant when it included in this theme that it would start with the house of God.  He corrected me and said, “THE HOUSE” it is not run by this Government, but it is His to run.  Watch what is happening in “the House,” the falling will begin there.  Well I listen to Alex Jones after this on this Jonathan Gruber situation of his calling the voters stupid, and how he so wrote Obama Care to fool the public and to get the bill passed.  They were drilling away at him in the House today.  It is beginning in THE HOUSE as the Lord had said…amazing. 

GOD RULES THE HOUSE – BOTH WILL FALL

 

The flesh is weak, weak in that it cannot, of its own efforts, change its spots.  It will always be the way that it is; if it ever gives the appearance of change, white-washing its spots, these hidden deceptive heart motives will reveal themselves; the rain will fall, and wash away the deceptive white wash and once again reveal the true nature of the Leopard.  ( Another view to the Meaning of the rain falls on the just and unjust.  Our justification is not a white-wash job.  You see this in the Government House secessions, one leopard accusing another.  God rules the House, both are exposed!)
 
Now this matter of "None do good" was brought to my attention.  We will see those once thought good, fall.
NONE DO GOOD
  “For the Love of Christ constrains (controls) me (contention – presses itself forward) for I thus judge (reason, come to this surrendered conclusion of my fallen nature’s unreasonableness).  …if One died for all, than all were dead (there is truly none that does good – “Why do good people do bad things?  Because there is none that does good, not one.”  It stands to reason, as we look around us, that this is true.  Those we once held up as good, have fallen.  It’s expected to see a bad man to do bad things, but it is another thing to see a “so-called” good man to do bad things.  We see government officials and offices once held as infallible, fall and do the most unseemly things.  We are shocked until we come to understand, that even these have this fallen nature in them, many times unaware, not expressing it in their political platform.  We are getting past being Shocked with the head line News. What did we expect?
 
Thoughts: 
It stands to reason – The human spirit “Stands” to human reasoning, thus the battle is assured.
 
Things the Lord has given in past living words that fit this Year’s theme.
 
CUTTING OF THE STRINGS
Isa. 29:14
“Therefore once more I will astound these people with wonder upon wonder;  (here are the wonders) the wisdom of the wise will perish, the intelligence of the intelligent will vanish.”
(example: speaker of the house, Pelosi, saying “We have to vote on this Obama Care bill to find out what’s in it.”  How can you vote on something you haven’t read?)
This verse is the beginning of the cutting of the strings to the puppets; puppets need strings, when cut, their wisdom is gone and they aren’t as wise as they appeared.  This will be the sign to watch for, the cutting of the strings of the puppets; “the wisdom of the wise will perish, the intelligence of the intelligent will vanish.”  Watch them fall; you will then see revealed the CONTROLLERS; the true controllers.  Those things hidden are being revealed; not men of power, but THINGS OF POWER; principalities and powers spoken of, of old, brought to the light.  They think they are preparing the way for “the prince of the power of the air.”  They think they are cutting the strings, but is the Lord in His preparation for the RETURN OF THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.  They think they are the controllers, letting kingdoms fall, but it is the Lord bringing in His Kingdom.
The more they attempt to silence the message God had wanted to get out, the more the earth will pick up on this message and moan and groan via earthquakes, floods, volcanic  eruptions, dying animals, and all that we are seeing happening today.  Things that once stood, which were just natural cause and effect, will now increase to the point that it cannot be denied that what the truth of His message and messengers were saying was from Him.  Their being silenced does not stop the message; now this message is being picked up by nature itself.  You might ask, “Where is this in the Bible?”  Here it is…
Mark 19:40 “And He answered and said unto them, “I tell you that, if these should hold their peace (His disciples), the stones would immediately cry out.”
Remember the One word that stood out, “SPILLOVER”….tonight I was told to type in a search on this word.  This link came up on a book called, Spillover.  http://www.amazon.com/Spillover-Animal-Infections-Human-Pandemic/dp/0393066800   (It deals with virus in animal mutating, or jumping over from animals to humans, which we read in headline News lately).  (News on the various forms of flu coming out).
 
Well, this would have meant nothing had I not had something come up in my spirit on Jesus casing our demons and them begging him to not send them to the Abyss, instead requested to be sent into swine.  You all know the story, the pigs, once possessed by these demons, went out of their minds and ran head long over the edge of a Clift.  I pondered this when it was brought up in my mind by my spirit at that moment, not making any connection; that is until I was prompted to do a search on this word spillover.  It’s apparent that demons can possess animals, this current sudden jump of viruses from animals to humans has something to do with this.   They are puzzled as to why suddenly these viruses in animals are doing this, when these virus have been known to be in these animals for some time.  Why are they doing this now?  The author of this book mentioned, I am sure, isn’t blaming it on demon possessed animals.  I believe this is what I am suggesting.  It is one of those things that will have to come out more, no pun intended.  I believe you will see this more throughout this year, 2015.  More of these viruses doing this jump.  (Just the other day, before seeing what I am sharing here, I was lead to edit and finish Part 4 to Rights of the Unfallen Adam.  I will be sending it to you via Drop Box, and might later post it on Youtube.  At the end of this video I tell the viewer to watch for LIVING WORD EXPERIENCES I will be putting out soon, Part 5.  I can see why I was lead to get this done, and also see where part 5 will be leading….”How to survive coming world plagues.”  This stuff is for real, and the warning has been given,  This year will be a year of standing and falling  and this matter of disease is part of it, you are either going to stand on the rights of an unfallen Adam, or fall.  
 
I have heard lately of the increase of demonic possession, the catholic church performing many exorcism, more than they ever had.  Makes you wonder where they are casting them?
 
Now another thing comes into play, I got to doing researching for a video the other day, and got into this battle raging in the eternal realm, and it SPILLING OVER in to our realm of time.  I had mentioned this in my introduction e-mail on this year’s theme.  Fallen angelic being chased out of that realm fleeing the battle and coming here prematurely.  It is my understanding, from all that I have put together tonight, that these fallen angelic beings are possessing animal, driving them mad as the swine in the story of Jesus casting out demons.  Something in this possessing of this animals is causing this jump of once held viruses in animals, to now come upon humanity.  Remember, we were told to Watch for this word to show up in the News.  Here are a review on this book mentioned, Spillover…
 
This is a frightening and fascinating masterpiece of science reporting that reads like a detective story. David Quammen takes us on a quest to understand AIDS, Ebola, and other diseases that share a frightening commonality: they all jumped from wild animals to humans. By explaining this growing trend, Quammen not only provides a warning about the diseases we will face in the future, he also causes us to reflect on our place as humans in the earth's ecosystem.” (Walter Isaacson, author of Steve Jobs)
 
Wikipedia had and interesting comment defining SPILL EFFECT that touches another area of warning, economics….
 
In an economy in which some markets fail to clear, such failure can influence the demand or supply behavior of affected participants in other markets, causing their effective demand or effective supply to differ from their notional (unconstrained) demand or supply.
 
One more definition I thought interesting of this word Spillover effect.. “A secondary effect that follows from a primary effect, and may be far removed in time or place from the event that caused the primary effect.”
 
Remember, I had asked for the cause of the “bangs” many are hearing lately.  It was then that I was told it was a “spillover”…angelic battle.  It was as this definition said, I asked for the PRIMARY effect of a secondary effect of the banging sounds people are hearing worldwide.  Amazing!!!
 
This word has more to it….WATCH FOR IS AS WE WERE TOLD. 
I will be posting updates as this year progresses...watch for them.  Subscribe to this Blog...  Paul

Well it is now February and I have more to add to this theme...


God draws the line when enough is enough.

 
Acts 17: “And He (God) made out of ONE SOURCE material every nation
of mankind to inhabit the entire  surface of the earth, having marked out the limitations of strategic, epochal periods of time which have been appointed and the fixed boundaries of their occupancy, in order that (reason God did this)  they should be seeking this aforementioned God, if so then they will grope after Him and find Him, though  He is not far from each one of us, for in Him we derive our life and have motion, as also certain of your poets have said, “For of Him are we also offspring.  Therefore, since we are the offspring of God (made in His image), we are not under moral obligation to  be thinking that this aforementioned Being possessing divine attributes  is like gold or silver or stone, a carved work of art and of man’s invention.  Now, therefore, the times of ignorance God having allowed to pass unnoticed, with reference to the present circumstances He declares to men that everyone everywhere should be repenting, because He appointed a day in which He is about to be judging the inhabitants of the earth with an equitable administration of justice by means of a MAN whom He appointed, furnishing a guarantee to ALL in that He raised Him out from among those who are dead.” (Wuest Expanded Greek New Testament)

 
Might it be that God is using this New World Order much like He used Pilate at the crucifixion of Jesus?  Yet this time, it is to wean an apostle Church to what it was that Jesus offered, “I go to prepare a place for you, that where I am you might be also.”  We are told that an End Time Church will be so caught up into this world to the point that warning after warning was given to this church age saying to not be bogged down in the world’s cares and affairs, to be awake to and prepared for that world He had promised.  There definitely is a line which God Himself has drawn, as far as nations are concerned.  Their very rising and falling have nothing to do with nothing.  There are those that feel they have power to do this, yet we know better, “they have no power other than that given to them from above,” and it is to this “Above Intent” that determines just how long and how far they can go.  When that line is crossed, it all begins; their end and God’s ending consummation of this age.  We see only one more Millennium before us, one more 1,000 years to this consummation I have mentioned. What lies BEYOND that is this “Continuation” of God’s original Intent.  We are living in what I have been told is a “Break in continuity.”  From the fall of Adam to the end of this final millennial l Kingdom, which is only a fulfillment of promises God had made to the Jewish nation.  This Kingdom age is not God’s original intent as some have said.  It is only one more millennium which must be finish to usher in the ages upon ages.   Then this New Earth and New Heavens (new to us) begins unfolding in an uninterrupted ages upon ages, a world which has no end as we have seen.

 

If what I said is true, God using this New World Order to wean His Church from this world to another, if this is true, what we as a Church are fighting isn’t what we may have thought, but may very well be the weaning hand of God.  Yes, we may be called to expose this Evil order, but must also consider, what are we fighting for; a Kingdom made with hands or a Kingdom prepared and yet to come?  I will fight to the death to promote this Kingdom Christ offered, and the right to proclaim its message; I wonder now if I’d be willing to fight for this world’s idea of a Kingdom, or what today is being called “An Empire” secular or religious?  Pre-millennialism,  Post-millennialism, or no millennial Kingdom is the debate you see going on in both camps today, but all are missing THAT WHICH IS BEYOND; those things which aren’t seen, and are Eternal.  Though I have been called to touch upon current events from time to time, my sharing them has its end intend in getting us all to focus all the more on the final consummation of this whole age.   Our coming back with the Son of Man as an Army to rule this present Earth, is only to this end, the ages upon ages beyond that 1,000 year period, something to which I am looking forward to.   
 
LIKEWISE
II Cor. 13:4 “For to be sure, He was crucified in weakness, yet He lives by God’s power;  LIKEWISE, “we” are weak in Him, yet by God’s power we live with Him to serve you.”
So, in light of what Paul was saying above, and as he asked the Corinthians, in the very next verses; 13:5-6 “Examine yourselves to see whether you are in THE FAITH; test yourselves.  Do you realize that Christ Jesus is in you – unless, of course, you fail the test?  And I trust that you will discover that we have not failed the test.”
This matter of “THE FAITH” stands out in this text, something I have addressed before in other writings.  The Faith of Christ, what is it?  You just heard it in Paul expression of it, “Weakness of the Flesh (soulish abilities) to accomplished God will in your life; something Jesus, in the mode of a man, LIKE OUR FLESH, accomplished, not of His power, but that of that which He and the Father authored before the foundation of the world, the JOY I have brought out found in Hebrews 12.  Focus on “LIKEWISE”, and you will see what I am saying.  We have heard this from Paul’s over writings in Philippians and Galatians; as Jesus, the son of man, now we follow His model, as a son of man as well.
LIKEWISE, “we” are WEAK , yet by God’s power we live with Him to serve you.”
We are weak, yet BY GOD’S POWER we live, to serve others as He had served us.  In other words we die now that others might live. 
We discover that from what Jesus did through His weakness, His dying that we might live, we became sons of God; now we, as He did and Paul expressed in this text and in Philippians and Galatians, SET ASIDE the independent use of an attribute possessed, (being a son of God) resume the mode of being a son of man, and die to our natural abilities of the soul allowing the Power of God to function through us as vessels of God’s service.  And as this power flows through us to those around us, the risk of getting puffed-up over much revelations is ever present, yet God sends this messenger of Satan to buffet us , less we be puffed-up.  (Backing up in II Cor. 12 you will see this expressed.)  You are either in the power of the flesh or the power of the spirit at any given moment.  God told Paul that this power comes to him moment by moment; in between those moments he would be WEAK; and to the world they will only see the weakness you are called to in order to see the Power of God manifested in your life.  The more Paul allowed the weakness of the flesh to be seen, the more the power of God would come.  The way of the flesh would be just the opposite, strong and the spirit weak.  Our flesh hates appearing weak, and will wrestle with this as Paul did when he wrote to the church of Corinth.  Listen to him wrestling with this flesh;
II Cor. 12…”I must go on Boasting; even if I should choose to boast, I would not be a fool, because I would be speaking the truth (in other words there were moments when Paul was manifesting the power of God, he knew that in those moments it was not him; so this was the truth).  Paul goes on and says, “But I refrain, so no one will think more of me than is warranted by what I do or say.”  (Remember Jesus, in the mode of a son of man, said, “I see and do, what I see the Father doing; the words I speak, they are not my own.)
I have repeatedly said in other writings, that you should get passed seeing Paul Woodward; seeing his weakness; but come to realize that through this weak earthen vessel, when the flesh is weak, God manifests His power through this weakness.
We don’t “play weak” we are weak.  And if you get caught playing this humble Harry game, you will be made to be weak.  This isn’t a religious game of pretending to be weak; you will be brought to REAL WEAKNESS, not this fake religious idea of it. So really think before you say that you have been brought to this as well; because if you haven’t the Father will show you differently.   I played this game in the pass; and because I got caught playing this game, came to real weakness, the weakness that I was, and came to experience “Apart from Him I can do NOTHING.”  Yet on the other hand, in those moments that I and Paul mentioned, found that in those moments after my weakness, His strength came, so that “I could do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”  Remember, I am speaking of this Christ in you, that Christ that the son of man leaned on while in this humbled mode as a man.  LIKEWISE, we have become the same son of man.  Others in the religious world are playing Mickey Mouse, catch my drift?  They see what they are accomplishing as the power of God; yes it is, coming out of the Sorcerer’s hat, but not the Sorcerer (God).  They are using what was to be set aside and not to be used independent from God, their rights to son ship.  Now understand, some aren’t doing this, they have allowed the power of God to be manifested through their weakness, so could really say that God is doing His work through their ministry.  I am not called to judge this, God will cause them to Stand or Fall; once again, this year’s theme of The Standing or Falling.  You will see many of those who have made such claims fall this year.
 
Well, this word “spillover” has started, in this case Christopher Greene and his site, AMTV, mentions it at the 3:50 point.  He uses some rough language, so it you don’t listen to the rest I’d understand.  He is going off on Obama taking credit for ending the war in Afghanistan; “when they say peace and safety.”   The stress point is this word “spillover” in the context of war…..it’s not going to end, just SPILLOVER to another area.
 
DIVERSION
Watching the “WORLD” news, and I stress world, I asked, “Father, what’s happening?”   One word said it all, “Diversion”.   I looked up the meaning as usual, “Turn from a course or purpose; distract; amuse; activity engaged in for amusement; an attitude, circumstance to a stimulus that tends to make one gratified or happy.”  I have a rather long piece I wrote some time ago that kind of went cross grain to a lot that is being said, especially in the doomsday news of today, not that there isn’t truth to what they say.  In this long piece, to express it briefly, “when they say peace and safety”….you know the rest of the verse.  Well, now is the time to be concerned, they are saying peace and safety, economy is booming, generally everyone is feeling happy buying more this Christmas than ever, and the entertainment industry is more distracting than ever before with 100’s of channel to fit your fancy.   Look in the definition of Diversion – “circumstance to a stimulus”…we are be stimulate; again I had to look up the word for a clear definition, “Stimulate” – to lead one into doing or feeling or to produce by so leading a person; to elevate the spirits of.”  The use of the word spirit in this definition sure isn’t the spirit we understand; the definition is geared to the emotional soul and its distraction to the carnal and not TRUE Spiritual emotion as “joy” that last and only comes from outside this world of joy that comes and goes as the Wall Street and the world turns.  Once again I am told to STAY IN THE SPIRIT, do not get caught up with one extreme or the other, the gloom and doom or the high emotional ride that the world generates independent from our Lord.  Beware of the diversion that is going on; the devil is changing his tactics.   Paul
ACTION AND REACTION
“To every action there is an inevitable equal reaction”…..something that stood out in the video I just sent to you where I revealed how the word “Spillover” is starting to me manifested as this Year’s Theme told us.  Our action in this experience does have an effect in the eternal realm where a battle is presently raging.  Equally so, ever action there has a reaction here.  We see it in the strange behavior of not only the weather but also in unusual sounds around us, which has scientist baffled as to their meaning.  In their thinking, seeing only the natural cause and effect, they can’t believe that there is another realm, that of which is called in scriptures the Unseen realm; they can’t believe that a SPILLOVER from that realm could have any effect on “our” world.  First, it isn’t “our” world.  If you throw out a Creator, even then it wouldn’t be “our” world.  Whose world would it be?  Maybe, as some think, some super race of Alien beings?  It’s gotten down to one or four choices; Evolution, Aliens, the devil, or God.  Believe it or not, the evolutionist in their frustration, have turned to hope in Aliens, or thinking they might speed up evolution using the Machine, merging us together into what is called the Singularity, the age of Post-man.  The changing of our being from the Image of God, to an image created by A.I. or artificial Intelligence.  I have addressed this in my video, along with many others, trying to warn a sleeping world of where we are heading in this generation, a fast track to hell itself.
Why do I say “a fast track to hell.”  James nailed when he said, “the tongue is a little member, LIT OF HELL.”  The fires of hell are being lit, being made really for the devils and demons who have spread their doctrines to the willing minds of men, who have turned for the truth, a true reality, and have embraced a world that is in foreclosure by God Himself.   
 
Keeping watching for this word to stand out in various circumstance.  As we have been told, it will PLAY OUT.  I have a video based on this year’s theme that I will release on January 1, 2015.  It is a short presentation of the things I have been sharing with all of you.  It is brief and to the point; it is pointing directly at the Lords of the Flock, and the so-called Prophets behind the walls (institutions) of the secular and religious world.  What is express in this short video, the Lord will fill in the gaps as this year progresses.  Keep watching.
 
Also a second video will be release at the same time, it is called, “Hell is Not Your Home.”  It will reveal what many do not know, that hell was never intended to be for humanity, but for this devil and his angels that are hell bent on our total destruction.   Paul
 
LET IT PLAY OUT – RUN ITS COURSE
I was at my computer tonight and I got the notion to look up, “Let it play out;” an expression the Lord has given to me many times when I asked Him various questions on matters. Interesting to say the least. It also could mean, “to run its course.” If you remember, this is mentioned in Luke 21, where “the times of the gentiles run their course.” We see in Luke 21, that after this the time of Jacob’s troubles begin, a time period we know as the 7 year tribulation period.
 
Lately, in light of the many Youtube videos I have gotten from others and I personally have sent out, the Lord’s reply to all these when I asked Him was, “let it play out, or run its course.” It’s strange how many feel they can stop this course. As I have learned lately, “the Author and Finisher” of this whole experience knows more than they ever will know, and He is saying to me, “let it play out.” It kind of fits the warning given to us to not be caught up in the cares and affairs of this crazy world, that is running out the course of the times of the Gentiles…it all has to happen, so why are so many shocked to see it when we were told that all these things would occur? Lately I personally am learning to get past the shock and “occupy till He comes.” Nothing surprises me anymore; any hope that is worth focusing on is this thing I expressed over and over again, THE HOPE UNSEEN.
 
I recently got this following brief quote the Lord gave me one night. It was in light of how to deal with those in this world who haven’t a clue of this unseen hope we all know. Do we destroy any idea that they have of hope in this seen, temporal world? It would be cruel to pull the rug out from under their feet in hope that they might see the Hope that you have seen; or worst, they might commit suicide, not turning to the idea of hope unseen, leaving them with no hope at all. So I asked the Lord for a response to this. Here is what I got…
 
For those who have no hope in that Unseen, they must establish some form of hope in that seen. If we do not allow them this hope, as false as it may be, it would leave them with no hope at all. Some form of hope would be better than no hope at all; though I still believe that there is NO HOPE in the seen, I give them what they desire, only to allow time for them to discover that their desires to establish hope in the seen is futile. In this I HOPE that one day they will give up on hope seen and embrace the only true hope, that which is eternal and not temporal.
 
Something to ponder. Paul
 
STAY IN THE SPIRIT OF “OUR WEAKNESS” HIS STRENGTH
I have in the past risk sharing my weaknesses to get a spiritual truth across.  If you have ever read the letters of Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians, you will see that he boasted in his weakness, in hope that these Corinthians would see that his power wasn’t of him but the Lord.  At one point Paul wondered if he was wrong in doing this.  He thought, maybe he should have came boasting and bragging as the other “super fine apostles”, the heaped up teachers that that church had gathered around them did.  He complain to the Lord about it and has the Lord say to him, “Go ahead, pull out both guns and let them have it.”  Paul does but later feels silly for allowing them to draw him into the competitive game we see going on even today, teacher after teacher  sharing the word of God in the spirit of contention.  Remember our meaning of this word, Contention;” “to put one’s self forward over another.”  Paul backs off, admits his stupidity for getting caught up in this silly game, and says to them that he would not come to them again in such silliness, but would, through his weakness, allow the Lord to come to them in POWER.  He warns them, “You don’t want me to come to you in this way!”  
 
The early beginnings of the “Way” or what we call the church, had seen the Lord manifested in such power that even the secular world saw it, and stayed away; they realized that this was an organization that did manifest the power of God.  I wonder if the world today sees this in the church?  We have got it backwards, we in our self claimed strength, thing we are rich, when in truth we are poor, blind, wretched and naked, needing eye salve that we might see what Paul saw, His strength only comes to us when we are weak.
 
Everything I just shared is “Written” in the letters of Paul.  I just expressed it in Living Words, of my own experience; my coming to weakness, stepping down off a platform of an institution setting, and sharing what the Lord has wanted me to share over the years through my weakness.  Because I have done this, I have had those that read, view what the Lord had wanted to share to all of us through this earthen vessel, called Paul Woodward, I have seen them set aside, esteem less than the teachings of these super fine apostles, still on the stage and on national T.V. or on the web, raising up the things they have shared, casting aside what I know the Lord has want to share from this treasure in me, that the Excellency be of the Lord and not me.  I type this sensing “silliness” as Paul had once felt, in his attempt to promote himself.  So, I will back off, as he did, and say as he had said. “When I come to you again, I will come to you in my weakness, but will allow the Power of God to be manifested through this vessel….”Do you want me to come to you in such power?”  Paul
 
Read  Acts chapter 5….”This is what’s coming!!”  Apply this to, “The year of the Standing or Falling.”
Response from Marie:
But, it seems to go along with what we talked about the religious world turning away from God and to the world.
 
 
My Response:
He addresses the obvious, yet something deeply is wrong today, that David saw coming in his generation and expressed it as he did.  This something deeper, which I have come to see as worst than green hair etc;  as  was predicted, “they will depart for THE FAITH.”  This departure is from CHRIST’S FAITH, replacing it with faith established by the will of men, and not that of God the Father, and God the Son, empowered by God the Holy Spirit, “before the foundation of the world.”  You see one extreme to another, left and right of the straight and narrow road which we were to stay focused on.  One extreme would allow the green hair and crazy dress as David mentioned, whereas the other extreme would judge these matters making NOT having green hair and crazy dress habits, as a way to gain salvation.  We understand, on this straight and narrow road, that circumcision or non-circumcision does not avail a thing, but is a NEW CREATION, which if found would change our habits and behavior, no longer being of this world, but that of another.  Justification would be followed by the sanctificational work of the Holy Spirit that would change us INSIDE TO THE OUTSIDE, and not to the reverse, of cleaning the outside of the cup, and leaving the inside dirty.  See, how the Lord was saying this in the word that He gave to me the other night….everything in the secular and religious world are upside down, backwards, flowing out when it should be flowing in, or going up when in truth it is going down. 
Marie response;
That is the truth! We can see that all around us.
My added response:
Hear a statement the Lord gave to me….”We judge that which we do not understand, out of fear of condoning it.  We feel we have to judge it, or it would appear that we are condoning it.” 
  If we would come to understand “Why” things are the way they are, we would UNDERSTAND, what the real problem is, which reaches beyond “sins” and directs use to the true source of our problem, :”SIN”…a nature inherited through the fall of Adam & Eve.  If the “church” had not held down this truth with a lie, we would not be seeing the by-products of the sin nature manifesting itself as we are seeing today.  How does the church hold down this truth with a lie?  I have addressed this in all of my writings, e-mails and videos on Youtube.  Someday in the room I have set up on Pal Talk, I will be able to better explain what I am attempting to share in this e-mail.   Paul
 
THE UPSIDE DOWN WORLD
The blindness of this TOTAL WORLD.  It’s true, the further they get from our Father, the worst it is going to get.  This hit me to night watching the news on T.V. and all the so-called “good things” they say we have achieved.  As I sat and listened, it got to the point where I had to turn it off.  I couldn’t even begin to make them see what I am seeing.  I fight for words as I type this.   Father, what words would describe it all??  And then, me, Paul Woodward, who would listen if you did give me the right words?  I know the words would have to be very, very powerful words, put together in just the right way, as only You could do.  I ask You for those words, speak to me, and I will type them out and share them with as many as will listen.
 
The very research they have done, will be the very thing to do them in.  They had hoped to do good for humanity, a good that only I could give them; a goodness that has been rejected, in exchange for all that is in the name of science and advancement of the human race.  Their arrow points downward, but to them appears to be pointing upward.  In an “upside down world” things do not appear as they are.  You see thing right side up; that’s the first word I will give to you tonight to share.   They will know that these words I give to you tonight are from ME and are words of power, in THE NAME.  Their world will soon be turned upside down.  What once was up will go down, and what was once down will rise up.  Speaking further, this word I now give to you; Evening tides will change, what once came in, now will go out; and what once went out, will come in.  I will confound the wise, weathermen, and news caster.  Watch for this.  January 17, 2015 10:24 PM Est.
Marie’s response:
I realize you were talking about the scientific world and research...turning God away and coming up with their own so that they have "visual" in what they are accomplishing....playing God.  But what you wrote reminded me of what God had showed me as well and how the whole world seems to be in that mind set...most who don't believe or follow God (I've found they do believe there's a God, yet try to dismiss HIM away with their own theory's to not feel guilty for the way they chose to live) want physical, visual proof....  THey give into the worlds mindset and ways and it's going to come back and bite them in the butt so to speak.  All the while God still showing HIMSELF to them through His written word of prophecy unfolding before their very eyes.
I will keep it between us.  I understand the meaning.  I had once written in my notes on fb (can't find it now) with the Father speaking through me about how it is to see the world from standing on the outside looking in.  All these things people love...especially the horror movies...how one day they will truly be living a horror that won't compare to their movies they love so much. Yet getting what they give into (if that makes sense?) or in other words reaping what they sow...given over to their reprobate minds...
No matter how much we try to warn and let know what is coming. It seems as if no one is paying attention...continuing on and on in their lives.  I've been told just that from family members and other's I know. They don't pay attention to what's going on. They just want to focus on the good times with their lives and family...in doing so, they don't realize they are going down the destructive road, willingly choosing to keep a blind eye as long as they don't feel the effect right now.
 
Reminds me of this verse  Revelations 22:

He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

 
I'm realizing the meaning of this verse more and more.  I seen an article yesterday through endtime headline news that would make your stomach turn, but reminds us of the days of lot for sure.  A daughter and father moving to New Jersey so that they can be wed and have children together.  ....How much worse it will be during tribulation time...
In their waxing away from God further and further we will see things ramp up and change more. Things that use to not be, will be as right continues to become wrong and wrong continues to be right.   We will have strange weather patterns...tornado's in places that use to not be and other "crazy" things taking place that other's won't be able to explain...Yet we'll know...prayerfully just prayerfully one will wake up and turn back to God.
My response:
Amen dear Sister….if they can’t hear what the Lord is attempting to get them to see in the spirit, He has to resort to their carnal minds and physical world surroundings; shaking their kingdom.  In an “upside down world” things do not appear as they are.”  Looking at the News, you and I can see that this world’s thinking is totally upside down.  They live and feed off a tree of knowledge and wisdom, rooted in this world’s ideas of truth and reality, bearing fruit that only supports the temporal world.  Whereas, we feed off what appears to them to be an upside down tree, rooted in the eternal realm, with fruit that is “Profitable in this life and the life to come.”  This was what the Lord was showing me, and which you see in your spirit as well.  Amazing dear Noble Marie, you see what I see.  This is still playing out, and we will see it touch the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual elements more than ever before.  This “changing of the tides” is as you saw, “They give into the world’s mindset and ways and it's going to come back and bite them in the butt so to speak.”  AMEN….that is what is and will happen as we speak.
 
I jotted this down this morning in light of this word given to me last night, and also in light of this year’s theme of standing or falling….”Those that fall will be better off than those who think they stand.”  This was part of what I sensed in my spirit as I watched the news the other night.  You and I, and others like us, have fallen in that we see our weakness, and depended upon His strength.  If those who think they stand at this moment, would see this, their falling will be to the betterment of their lives.  The world doesn’t see it this way; they have their noses so embedded into their views and perspectives it would take a great shaking to get their nose out of the books, secular and religious world implied.  It is sad, you kind of expect to see this in the secular world, but when you see this in the religious world, so called “good” people living “good” lives, it hard to get them to see beyond this temporal world and see a Kingdom prepared before the foundation of the world.  There will definitely be more on this….keep sharing,.   Paul
 
Marie’s response:
That is so true...we have to fall before we can stand. It is sad that we are seeing this in the religious world....losing the salt of the earth....deception already begun on a small level before tribulation is already here. 
I agree there will be more. You continue sharing as well.  It's awesome to see God at work among our spirits.
My response:
You can see why the Lord forbids partaking of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.  See the Bible as the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; watch the two two camps reading from this same book come up with condoning or judging, and justifying what they are saying pointing to text out of context.  Yet in the context of the TOTAL book, both are wrong.   We were not to Judge, or condone, but come to an understanding of how we all are in the same boat, with each judging the other, and in doing so, are poking holes in the boat that now is sinking.  See this in the News today, race against race, culture against culture, and creed against creed.  As Paul warned us….”quit judging one another, unless you bit and devour one another.”  The devil’s trick from the beginning, divide and conquer, starting with Eve and Adam…male against female, brother against brother, nation against nation, until the whole world is filled with violence, bringing God’s judgment, once with water, the next time being of fire.   What a blind secular and religious world we live in.
 Marie’s response:
Amen it is so true.  I think one problem is how to decipher if someone is really of Christ and knowing their fruits so that wolves don't come in sheeps clothing and actually judging someone...for we all fall short of the glory of God. I'm guilty in the past of getting the two confused...thankfully the Lord showed me the difference.  
You are right it goes from one extreme to the other. One condoning and one condemning...we are not to be apart of either or, but middle ground so to speak. Satan is eating it up...he loves the division that is caused in every example you showed above.   Showing the love of Christ does not mean we have to become like the world...nor does it mean we look our noses down upon them. Jesus being the greatest example.... 
 
UPDATES ON
 “THE YEAR OF THE STANDING AND FALLING”
 
Update from a Dear Sister in Christ: (Shared with her permission)
Everything continues to move in place
My Response to her E-mail link:
STANDING AND FALLING OF THE LORDS OF THE FLOCK
 
How about Pastor John Hagee’s apologizing to the Vatican;  he just join the ranks with Copeland, Osteen, Robinson and many other mega churches lining up with the Catholic Church,  “The whore on the back of the beast.”  They should know what happens to the Whore on the beast; she is destroyed in the end, once Anti-Christ sets himself as god on earth…that’s where all of this is heading…it will be the death of “ALL” religions, and finally the death of all flesh, meaning once again more than the skin body, but more to human opinions and ideas…Anti-Christ will change all of that.  Satan has Never had any interest in one side or the there.  He is more like agent Smith in the movie the Matrix, he is out to destroy BOTH SIDES…he knows he is heading to hell and he is determined to take as many with him that he can.  Stay in the spirit. 
Her response to me:
I managed to miss that...I listened twice, but got interrupted twice...must have been around the same time.  I agree, why would he? The Catholics have turned many away from the true relationship of Christ...course those who follow have chosen that as well, but they are being deceived for sure.  The surprising thing is that Pastor Hagee should know the hour we are living in....at least it has seemed that way from the few times I've heard him speak.
 
My Response to Marie
Again, it is sad.  I have many of his tapes, and loved the power in his message.  Deception and strong delusion, which according to what’s been said, as strange as it sounds, is sent of the Lord….once again, part of this idea of standing or falling we have been warned about for this year.  It’s the Lord, not tempting but “testing”…as you well know being a teacher of your children, home schooling.  You aren’t testing them to destroy them, but to reveal if they have been paying attention to what you, as their teacher, have been attempting to get them to know.  Sometimes it reveals that they weren’t listening.  But in your case, they get the opportunity to repeat the grade, and maybe then they will listen after seeing others GOING ON.  I could understand Hagee if it were his being in his “Paid” position, and not wanting to lose face in the public eye, fearful of losing his support, but this isn’t the case.  It will be the case, because many are seeing through this TESTING and realize that it is from the Lord only using Evil as He did Pilate.  They found out that day, the true nature of the religious Jew, “We have no king but Caesar.”  I would have to ask Hagee, “who is your King and Lord?”  I know he preaches it, but preaching it and practicing is a time of standing or falling.   He won’t go to hell, in his case, but will suffer lost, with this Wood, Hay and stubble…it certainly won’t add any gold, silver or precious stones to the robe of Christ righteousness he preaches.  Father, lay not these to his charge….but rather, have him see the error of his decision, and retracted it.  He would fare better in your eyes, even though not in the eyes of this secular and religious world.  Through the Name of Jesus, and all that that Name represent, amen, so let it be.   Paul
Response from another Dear Sister in Christ, Mary:
Sad but expected/ I would love to ask Pope Francis what about the thousands of time or even millions that Our Lord has been mocked ridiculed etc .Where does the freedom of speech play there .The whore of the back of the beast is rising. I would ask Hagee's what he thought when Jesus touched the fig tree and it died.  It’s very sad to see this, yet, I am eagerly waiting for my call up thither ..................The year of stand or fall woe on to those that depart from the Faith, the FAITH OF CHRIST
 
Great info sister, keep it coming....BLESSINGS.  Mary

Standing and falling - something to assist you
 
In light of standing and falling, that the Spirit has warned us of for this coming year; it is brought out in the idea our having no righteousness of our own. We all have no problem revealing how the Lord delivered us from our past sins, or acts done independent from God; in those days of ignorance. Yet, when it come to present, and potential sins, or acts done independent from the Lord in the future, we shy away from admitting that we are, and yet will again, make the blunder of making decisions without consulting the Lord as we all know we should. We know all the warnings, such as, “he that thinks he STANDS, take heed lest he fall.” Yet, once again, in moments of distraction sin slips in. We can confess our faults to one another, as it is also commanded for our own benefit, yet when you do this to the wrong individual, some Pharisee, you regret it, having them compound your guilt, revealing the devils method to keep you ineffective for the Lord, with some stupid feeling of unworthiness. Believe this or not, you have just entered into your own efforts to establish a form of righteousness that God hates with a passion. Why? Well, as we said above, “you have no righteousness of your own.” Do we really believe this? Is God a liar?
 
What would get the devil off your back, and the Pharisee as well, would be to admit at that moment, for your own sake, claiming HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, and none of your own, which you in your blunder just demonstrated. Think; if your righteousness were dependent upon you living up to the expectation of some Pharisee, or your own performance orientation served upon you from birth, by the world around you; if “your” righteousness were depend upon this, you are in for a world of hurt, because you have just missed the greatest opportunity to discover the real depths of God’s unconditional love, mercy and grace, and are on the verge of “going about establishing your own righteousness, and forfeiting the righteousness God offered through the finished works of His Son, Jesus, before the foundation of the world. Thank God for your blunders, and gained experience of God’s gifts mentioned, dust yourself off, and continue on, submitting your “self” to God, and watch the devil flee from you. Just don’t “frustrate His Grace; receive all that He offers, and you will endure.
Just some words of wisdom, and personal experience, which taught me the hard way. Use it in the coming Standing and Falling, “and having done all, to Stand, ON HIS ETERNAL PROMISE.” Paul
