Our Guest Paul Cox
Sid: Red hot is an understatement for my guest Paul Cox, I’m making available his brand new book, “Heaven Trek” subtitled “Daring to Go Where God Wants Us to Go.” It’s an understanding of the supernatural realm of discernment. Realms that were normal for the first believers in the Messiah, but today they’re abnormal. Paul before I went on the air you told me that God wanted to give me something in the Spirit.
Paul: Yes, that’s true.
Sid: I’m ready to receive, I said, “Wait I want my Mishpochah to hear this.”
Paul: Okay, we talked about powers yesterday and there is a power there and if you put your hands up Sid the Lord wants to give you a scroll I believe, and place it in your hands and I believe the scroll is actually written in Hebrew. So do you feel anything in your hands now?
Sid: I can’t say that I feel holding a scroll, but I can say I feel the anointing in my hands.
Paul: Okay, now we believe the Lord wants you to eat the scroll.
Sid: Sounds Biblical.
Paul: The Lord is going to bring some revelation to you, and we believe it’s in Hebrew.
Sid: Tell you something interesting; I got off of a plane yesterday in New York and I met a group of Orthodox Jewish Rabbi’s that believe in Jesus so I find that interesting that the scroll is in Hebrew.
Paul: Yes.
Sid: And this by the way as far as I’m concerned Paul is the most exciting prophetic event evidencing the soon return of Jesus that I’ve ever seen. And a thousand Orthodox Jews are now believers in Jesus worldwide; Rabbi’s are turning to Jesus. It’s an amazing time and I believe the scroll and this revelation is going to help me in this new assignment I have for the Lord.
Paul: Wonderful.
Sid: Now you told me, Sid can I tell you something radical? What was that?
Paul: Well this really is the most radical thing that’s ever happened to me. I was in Dallas, Texas a little over a year ago and we were with some friends there were seven of us there. All of a sudden I started discerning something and I realized that it was spiritual but it was human. And that was really disturbing to me because I couldn’t understand why I was discerning that. And then I got the word Elijah, and that Elijah had come, well that’s Biblical. In Malachi 4 verse 5 are written the words, “Behold I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful Day of the Lord, and He will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the hearts of the children to the fathers unless I come and strike the earth with a curse.” Well I did not know what to do with that, and then I was at a conference some weeks later and Elijah showed up again, and I realized that Elijah wants to release his mantle and I really believe that Elijah’s come back and that we are seeing the Lord God turning the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to the fathers. We had a very interesting experience when I was in Ireland; I felt like I was supposed to give the mantle of Elijah to a young man there, he’s 15 and I was really nervous because this was really quite bazaar. And so I took the pastor and his wife and the elders into another room and I told them what was going to go on, and my friend Nigel in Ireland got really quiet and he said, “I need to tell you a story.” When my son was born he almost died he was in intensive care for like I think two weeks. After he got out of intensive care they went to dedicate Mark and one of the men there started prophesying over Mark and this was the prophesy. “One day you will receive the mantle of Elijah.” And to me that was just the most amazing confirmation that this was true, I then found out later that in Ohio, so this was in November a year ago, in Ohio during the same month or maybe a month before there was a conference, the conference was called, “Elijah Come Out of the Cave” conference. So I believe that Elijah has returned.
Sid: The Spirit of Elijah, the Spirit that was on Elijah.
Paul: That’s right we are at the end of days.
Sid: Ad someone’s neck was just healed in Jesus name. Well you know this ties in exactly what I said about these Orthodox Jewish Rabbis coming to the Lord.
Paul: It does.
Sid: And as a matter of fact and I don’t know if you’ve ever heard my spin on that chapter in Malachi. The Spirit of Elijah will come to return the hearts of the fathers to the children and the children to the fathers. Well according to Paul the fathers of faith are the Jewish people and so therefore the children are the Christians, and the Spirit of Elijah is going to cause the fathers and the children; or the Jews and the Christians to become one.
Paul: It’s a wonderful insight.
Sid: Paul, tell me one of the most satisfying things that has happened when someone, this is a new book, but it was previously articles, a testimony of someone that has read one of the articles in your book “Heaven Trek”
Paul: I believe one of the most powerful things is when I talk about entering into the rest of the Lord. We are a society that is very anxious, very stress driven and I have had story after story of after story of people that literally have gone into the heavenly places and a place of rest, and have experienced the freedom from worry. Hebrews 4 says “Make every effort to enter into the rest of God.”
Sid: And you know this world had got enough reasons to worry, and then you throw the demons in the deal that cause you to worry; they could make anyone sick if they wanted to.
Paul: Absolutely and Sid it’s true that these people go and I have had I would say hundreds of testimonies. People saying “I cannot worry in this place,” because I believe there is a place in the heavenly realm.
Sid: You’re describing what the book of Hebrew’s calls the Sabbath rest.
Paul: Absolutely, there is a place for the rest for the people of God and we’re not always there. Psalm 91 says, “He who dwells in the shelter of the most high.” We must go to that place and the invitation of the Lord is that you can enter into the rest and it’s a place where there is no worry because it is a place striving stops, and where the Lord’s work can take place. Because He works in that place of rest.
Sid: The reason I’m being still is because there is such a strong presence of God on me, it must have been that scroll that I ate, but Paul what…
Paul: The Lord has just taken us to that place, I felt us go up, it’s like we went up in elevator, and I’m feeling anointing all over my head. Remember David said, “You anoint my head with oil?” And this is the place of rest, the Lord has actually taken us there right now as we’re talked about it.
Sid: So when you talk about something or when you write about something it manifests.
Paul: Absolutely.
Sid: That’s why this book is so special, Daring to go Where God wants Us to Go.” The problem is most people don’t even know of all of these things going on in the visible world, that’s why I’m sure one of your major gifts is explaining discernment, what’s happening in the invisible world and how to cooperate.
Paul: I learned what you said before, “This is supposed to be normal, this is not abnormal, this is not weird, this is supposed to be the normal Christian life living in relationship with Our Heavenly Father and it’s not some esoteric, weird metaphysical experience, it’s supposed to be normal, this is normal Christian life.
