Beloved, I would like to speak to your spirit,
Spirit, listen to the word of G-d for you for today
It is eleven days’ journey from Horeb by the way of Mount Seir to Kadesh-barnea. The L-rd our G-d said to us in Horeb, ‘You have stayed long enough at this mountain.”
Deuteronomy 1:2, 6 ESV
“And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.”
Hebrews 11:6 ESV
Spirit, there are season where we move, and seasons where G-d moves.
There are also seasons where, as Smith Wigglesworth once said, “If G-d doesn’t move me, I move Him.” So, seasons of a push/pull with G-d.
And then there are seasons where G-d instructs us to move. And it may come to if we don’t move, He will move us.
In one such situation, I have a friend who did not want to take a new job with his company in a different city. His boss presented the opportunity and asked “who is moving from this place to the new branch office? He did not want to move. But his spirit, who knew it was a better opportunity and, as my friend retells the situation, he heard a voice inside himself say “sign me up.”
At which point, the transition began.
Now, spirit, faith expresses itself in a number of ways. In some cases, G-d looks for us to allow Him to move. And at other times, He looks for us to move, and still other times, He looks to partner with us as we move together. But the bottom line is that faith, to be living, necessitates some kind of movement that increases the Kingdom on at least some level.
The Kingdom is populated by sons who build.. and that building isn’t done in one simple way in one simple process. It is creative and unique and not always initiated by the same catalyst.
And for those who got hung up on the “sons” populating the kingdom and not daughters, I will say this. If I as a man can handle being called a Bride of Messiah, you as a woman can handle being called a Som of G-d.
Congratulations, life is uncomfortable for everyone.
Now, back to blessing your spirit.
Spirit, there are coming times when you will hear the voice of the L-rd tell you: it’s time to make the transition.
And not all transitions will look the same. Some transitions will be initiated by you (as in the very initiative-taking behavior of the Daughters of in Numbers 36), and some by the King (who said, “separate for me Saul and Barnabas”), and yet again, some by a partnership.
There are no sausage factories in the Kingdom.
We will have a series of situations where different types of movement in the spiritual realm will happen.
And we need to observe the sorts of movements necessary.
“You have spent too much time in this place.”
“Ten generations is long enough for your family in this county and states and nation.”
“That town has been a boat anchor around your legs for long enough. Leave.”
“You need to leave to put some geographic distance between yourself and that toxic family member.”
“Time for you to move.”
“Why don’t you take that new job?” (not a command, but a playful remark aimed at upping your curiosity at a situation).
Fill in the blank.
Spirit, there are going to be new seasons where you need to change your location at the prompting of the L-rd because His grace for a location has lifted.
And it’s not something you can explain to anyone. And if you tried explaining, they’d call you crazy.
So, spirit, I bless you to hear the L-rd when he speaks about transitions. When He speaks and says, “enough time dwelling here. Turn northward.”, I bless you with not only the skill to hear, but also the strength of will to follow through.
Moving can be incredibly destabilizing. But it is sometimes necessary to refresh a life.
I bless your move to be smooth-flowing and as you arrive at the new place made for you, I bless you to put down deep roots. I encourage you to not remain in a constant state of transition. Between transitions, each season is best marked by deepening roots.
I bless the transition to be nimble.
I also bless your desire to be in the new place to grow and increase so that you do not get comfortable with either Egyptian slavery or the arid wilderness.
I bless the home you are selling to look to the King for its life, and to not latch onto you or anyone or something anything else as its hope or promise of hope.
I bless you to know where G-d designed for you and to move in the direction of a place that will feel like HOME to you.
I bless your desires, spirit, for you to be able to articulate those desires, and for G-d to partner with you to give you a home that aligns with your desires and His desires.
I bless you that when you are transitioning to your new homestead, that you will see the land for what it is. Not merely a physician set of resources and assets to be looted and pillaged or used, but as a valuable place that exists in the spirit and impacts and is impacted by, the spiritual realm.
I bless you to see and perceive what the L-rd wants you to know about the place where you live.
And I bless you to steward that place effectively with an eye in the spirit to what is happening to your land beyond just what you see.
I bless you to make the transitions out of the desert and to move when the King tells you to move.
I bless that communication to be open and free, and I bless you to arrive at your desired haven and safe place.
I bless that series of transitions under the hand of the G-d Who Moves Your From Season To Season.
I bless you with those realities, in the name of Yeshua.
Amein
Amen
