Blessing of Stillness #5
Stillness In the L-rd’s Affectionate Heart that Brings Order to Chaos
Beloved,
I call your spirit to attention, whether broken or whole, hurting or healed, shattered or melded, in the name of Yeshua.
I call you, spirit, out of the muck of broken, fractured, homeless, outer darkness and into the safe and tender place where Father wants to shine His light through your spirit so the colors of His life can be seen in all of their brilliance.
I call you, spirit, to the place where Father’s home is. He makes His home in you. In that home is stillness, rest, light, and clarity. In that home is no confusion or disarray.
Out of that home flows everything necessary for life and godliness.
Just like the still place that He creates in your heart, spirit, there is a still place full of light in His heart.
Listen, precious spirit, to the word of G-d for you today:
And G-d said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. And G-d saw that the light was good….”
From Genesis 1:3
Spirit, I want you to consider the Genesis account of creation from a unique perspective.
Before the L-rd created the heavens and the earth, He fluttered gently, and that gentleness originated out of the still place of serenity in His heart.
And then…
He spoke…
Breaking the stillness…
His voice broke the chaos of outer darkness to create stillness in the midst of chaos.
He who possessed all authority spoke, gently.
The L-rd talked the universe into existence. Out of love.
Father spoke, affectionately, as a man speaks to his friend, and the universe, broken, empty, and chaotic though it may have been, was shifted into alignment. The formless and void existence moved from disorder to G-d’s new order. The manifestation had absolutely nothing to do with how loudly He spoke.
His word caused the manifestation of that substance that floods the universe with clarity, illumination, and warmth. In short, every element that makes all of the parts of creation visible to each other was created on that first day because He allowed light to become.
Light brings everything to visibility.
Spirit, with respect to you, there is a moment of stillness available to you in the presence of the Father’s light, that was specially designed for you to recognize and see the Source of Light.
It is His light, flowing out of His love, that enables you to see Him as He really is.
His authority and permission are wrapped up in His affection. He won’t speak authoritatively to you or into your life apart from His love.
His authority cannot be separated from His love.
So, I bless you, spirit, with recognizing the moment of stillness that comes before He speaks into your life.
I bless you with experiencing the moment of stillness when you first look into his eyes, and recognize the deep love that flows from those eyes into your eyes. I bless you with the revelation that His love is the context for everything that flows out of Him, from His words to His actions.
I bless you with recognizing that, in Father’s time, after the moment of stillness, He will speak, and when He does, that speaking will create a light-filled space for you to sparkle in your place of brokenness.
I bless you with being a useful set of tools in the Father’s hands to destabilize the forces of darkness.
I bless you with the revelation that no matter how broken you are, you are always precious to Father, and adored by Father, and yearned for by the Father of Lights, lights that shine through all of your shattered pieces both in your strongest moments and your weakest moments.
I bless you with the stillness necessary to allow yourself the space necessary to embrace a part of your life that does not make sense to others and might not make sense to you.
I bless you with the stillness necessary to recognize that Father will work with you and use you even in a place of brokenness.
I bless you with the revelation that, even in your brokenness, Father can use you a a set of tools to frustrate and destabilize the kingdom of hell.
I bless you with awareness of Father’s affection for you that causes His light to shine on you in dark places, and I further bless you with the awareness that the darkness that assaults you cannot comprehend the fullness of the Light that shines on you.
I bless you with this illumination in the name of Yeshua.
