Blessing of the December Window of Reconciliation #6: Destiny Aspect, Right Adventure With Right Friends

by theparacleteshammer, posted in December WOR Blessings: Reconcilation to Destiny

Beloved, I would like to invite your spirit forward in the name of Yeshua.

Spirit, Listen to the word of G-d for you for today.

Some went down to the sea in ships, doing business on the great waters;
they saw the deeds of the L-RD, his wondrous works in the deep.
For he commanded and raised the stormy wind, which lifted up the waves of the sea.
They mounted up to heaven; they went down to the depths; their courage melted away in their evil plight;
they reeled and staggered like drunken men and were at their wits’ end. Then they cried to the L-RD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress.
He made the storm be still, and the waves of the sea were hushed.
Then they were glad that the waters were quiet, and he brought them to their desired haven.
Let them thank the L-RD for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man!”

Psalm 107:23–31 ESV

Spirit, not only do we need the right home, and not only do we need the right relationship with the right Father, but we also need the right cadre of friends to engage our destiny with us.

We were made to become people of destiny in the context of community.

Now, some of you in isolation might say “why is that?”.

In order to answer that, I have to tell you a story.

Spirit, I have a sailor friend whose name is Bryan. He is a sailor’s sailor and has always made a home or found a place at sea. From stints in the Navy and the Army Corps of Engineers to tours near Nigeria, he has gone down to the sea repeatedly in ships and done business on the water. He has seen the works of the King on the waters.

And he has shared with me that sailors frequently have inked on their knuckles the words “Hold Fast”. if you wash overboard, that rope to which you are tied may be the last thing keeping you from physical death. In so many contexts, holding onto a lifeline is all that stands between us an eternity.

Likewise, at least four of Jesus’ Twelve fished on Lake Galilee: Simon Peter, Andrew, James, and John. And they would have understood in squalls the dangers inherent with sailing.

Unlike a cruise-ship, which is the ultimate form of mothering, military and other sailing and fishing vessels are solid expressions of fathering. The need on a boat is to develop the tools necessary to survive and thrive and return home safely. And often times, in order to thrive on a ship or a boat, you have to take calculated risks relative to your environment. And in all of that, whatever you do, spirit, do not let go of the rope. Hold fast.

And have a crew of mates that you can connect with that will work with you and help you learn the ropes and will have your back and keep you safe.

And it takes a group of people each weaving together their unique set of principles together, and bringing those sets together that helps us move into destiny. One man or woman cannot pilot a vessel alone to do a task alone. Destiny is a community skill. And Several sets of eyes that can see the various aspects are so desperately needed.

And love which flows between brothers and sisters is needed.

So spirit, I bless you for the seasons when you will be abroad. I bless you no matter the nature of the water or the location of the water. I bless you when you must be on the open ocean, or on the lakes or rivers, or in the waters underneath the earth. I bless you when the waters are calm, and I bless you when the waters are boiling out of control. I bless you when there is a red sky at night and at morning. I bless you when you are surrounded by sharks and when the waters are pure sapphire. I bless you to have the right mates. I bless your friendships to be rejuvenating and life-giving, and importantly, life-PRESERVING.

I bless you to find THE RIGHT BERTH ON THE RIGHT VESSEL, and to link up with THE RIGHT CREW. For whatever reason, the following poem feels appropriate here.

I must down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by;
And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking. 

I must down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying. 

I must down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where the wind’s like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.

Sea Fever by John Masefield

I bless your business and I bless your vision to see the works of G-d in the depths of the deep.

I bless you to be aware of the dynamics of Leviathan, whereever you are, in seven heads. I bless your compass, chronometer, sextant, pelorus, and maps to be true and accurate. I bless your skill in using them.

Spirit, I bless you with a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover. I bless you with lads who will keep you aboard and welcome you into their cabal as they accomplish great exploits in the name of the Captain of Our Salvation.

I bless you, mariners, to hear the voice of your ship and crew. I bless you when the storm is getting worse. I bless you with adventure and safe passage, no matter where the map and route take you. I bless you to know when your ship needs rest, and your mates need a hand, or a look, or a smile, or a heart.

I bless you to sleep aboard your ship when the Captain sleeps, and I bless you to wake when the Captain awakens. I bless you with love to keep your ship in its right alignment. And I bless you to be fathered in the wholeness of cause-and-effect that is critical to the operation of a fathering vessel that carries sons of the kingdom. I bless your reins to provide you counsel in the night seasons. I bless your capacity to see the usefulness of everyone else around you whose gifts are nothing like yours. And, importantly, I bless your capacity and skill at meshing your skills together with theirs, and no matter the conditions, to sail effectively. And to reach not only your destiny, but the desired haven of your home, having accomplished what the L-rd intended you to accomplish.

I bless you with wholeness in your community, as you seek for your place among your tribe. Be at peace, spirit, in the name of Yeshua.

Blessing of the December Window of Reconciliation #5: Destiny Aspect, Right Father

by theparacleteshammer, posted in December WOR Blessings: Reconcilation to Destiny

“Safe?” said Mr Beaver …”Who said anything about safe? ‘Course he isn’t safe. But he’s good.

from The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe

Beloved, I would like to engage with your spirit in the name of Yeshua, if they are willing.

Spirit, listen to the word of G-d for you for today.

αὶ εἷς ἐκ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων λέγει μοι· μὴ κλαῖε, ἰδοὺ ἐνίκησεν ὁ λέων ὁ ἐκ τῆς φυλῆς Ἰούδα, ἡ ῥίζα Δαυίδ, ἀνοῖξαι τὸ βιβλίον καὶ τὰς ἑπτὰ σφραγῖδας αὐτοῦ.

And one of the elders said to me, “Weep no more; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judas, the Root of David, has conquered, so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals.”

Revelation 5:5

Spirit, there is a line of thinking that came into being with the writings of Jack Lewis that the L-rd is not safe. Indeed, in the Chronicles of Narnia, Mr. Beaver said he was not safe.

And truly, when someone is wounded or bruised or smoldering, a bruised reed Messiah will not break, and a smoldering wick He will not extinguish.

But, when the time comes for us to grow into kingdom sons, He is not going to lead us merely or only into the safe place of home, but into the risk-laden context of the wilderness. Spirit, Father did not bring us home to leave us home, but to have a safe harbor from which to do exploits on behalf of the King. And when we travel, Father goes with us, and He allows good things to come into our lives as well as testing and difficult things.

The issue is not whether or not Jesus is safe in that we can control Him, but whether or not He is good, meaning “consistent and trustworthy, free from corruption, and incorruptible”.

In the first blessing, I reminded you of the anchor that was the most trustworthy. Our best anchor is in G-d’s nature. And because everything He created was good, it follows that He who is the Source of all is also good.

Goodness is so lacking in our culture. Alienation in many places prevails.

And the masculine, fathering antidote for the brokenness is not the mothering attribute of safety, but rather goodness.

Goodness is brought about by execution, by a G-d who executes. By a good Father of Lights Who gives us every good and perfect gift. Goodness is seen EVERYWHERE, including in what He has put into you.

Father is going to challenge you, spirit. Father will spend some time working to heal you, but after a season of healing, He will take you out on an adventure with him. You might have to climb mountains, or swim oceans, or work with people who are occasionally ungrateful. You might have to run a marathon, or embrace some pain.

But, spirit, I bless you to rest in your Father’s goodness. I bless you with not just an anchoring place in home, but also a place of rest in Father’s affection as He is doing the grueling work of training you and refining you and giving you sometimes more than you can handle.

I bless you not to rely on Father’s safety when you are questing about, but on His goodness, which is central to His nature.

And that you can praise Him even when He sends you an unlikely messenger to correct you. I bless you spirit to hear Father speak in the Prophet language of Greek and in the Giver language of Hebrew.

Both Prophets and Givers are CRITICAL to your life, spirit, and I bless you to hear what Father is doing as He does it. I bless you to see, hear, smell, touch, taste, and experience the full range of Father’s good pleasure and His good gifts, even if they come in the form of fiery trials.

I bless you, in those season when you are laying on the pavement with a bleeding artery to savor the flavor of grace Father brings to you, whether it is repairing a transected artery, or eating a bowl of your favorite ice cream.

I bless you to lean hard into Him and the strength of His goodness when everything is going up in flames.

I bless you with hyperendurant resolve.

I bless you, spirit, to be galvanized against all the plans of the evil one and the clowns.

I bless you radiantly, affectionately, and zealously, in the name of Yeshua.

I bless you to find the silver lining when the clouds have gathered. I bless you with chops and strength and massive resolve and life and peace and understanding and PLENTY OF FIGHT.

Even in the dark night of the soul….

Spiritual Labels Attached to Names: The Lion of the Tribe of Judas

by theparacleteshammer, posted in Uncategorized

It may jar some to read the passage from Revelation 5:5 this way, but I would encourage y’all to read it thus.


The Lion of the Tribe of Judas, has the authority to open the scroll and break the seals.


The Greek form of Judah is Judas.


I dare same some would be offended at this idea, because we have grown so used (the freaking status quo that NEVER gets challenged from generation to generation) to attaching labels to names, and one label we attach to Judas is “traitor”. His name may have, in the eyes of many, come to mean “traitor”, but it and its root do not mean “traitor”. Rather, its root means “praise”.


And the reality for Judas Iscariot is that yes, he was a traitor to Jesus.


But I would hazard to say that G-d knew the NT was going to be written in Greek originally, and G-d was there first and the name Judas, which as the Greek form of Judah, means “praise”, must be recovered by the church because the name belongs to the L-rd himself, and it is the Greek name for his tribe, and for all who are labeled Jews.


The devil owns nothing and is a thief and a faithless and accursed labeller of many things, and those labels are designed to incur shame on the object in question.


And I am done with ceding this name to the kingdom of darkness when he is nothing more than a petty thief.


The label needs to be removed and dealt with, because all names from Adam and Cain to Jesus and Judas and Zerubbabel and Esther, a Babylonian name, And all of those names belong to the L-rd.

The same goes for any list we secretly have of things, days, holidays, events, occasions, names, states, cities, countries, peoples, and tribes that belong to Satan.

He is an owner of nothing (Psalm 24:1). The earth is the L-rd’s and the fullness thereof. The Earth and all who dwell therein.

The Lion and His Tribe are synonymous with the Judas action of praising the L-rd, and praise constipates the mind of the enemy and throws the enemies of the L-rd, who is worthy of praise in the Greek tongues as much as the Hewbrew tongues, into abject confusion and disarray.

Be at peace, oh tribe of Judas, and reject that label foisted on you by the religious spirit.

Blessing of the December Window of Reconciliation #4: Destiny Aspect: Right Home

by theparacleteshammer, posted in December WOR Blessings: Reconcilation to Destiny

Beloved,

I would like to invite your spirit forward to encamp with me about a specific truth.

Spirit, you were made for a right home that is a place from which you proceed to the adventures Father has for you.

Listen to the word of G-d for you for today.

And the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed.

Genesis 2:8 ESV

Spirit, when G-d made Adam, and provided him his spirit, it was not in the context of the garden. It was in the context of a wilderness place away from the garden. We are not told where specifically in Scripture, but we are told it was not the garden.

We are however told that sons are creators based on the illustrations of what sons like David, Solomon, Josiah, Nehemiah, Moses, Deborah, Mary the mother of Jesus, Martha, Peter, John, Andrew, and Paul did. In order for a person to become a son, they must first be unpacked. And because Adam was the son of G-d, I would imagine G-d created him strategically far from the garden so as to help Adam unpack his abilities along the way by introducing him gradually in the wilderness to sundry aspects of the Father’s creation. And for Mercies to be adequately unpacked (Adam was indeed a Mercy), given they are by nature a bit slower than the other gifts in some ways, they need a longer process that is more marked by gentleness than others.

And I imagine Adam longed for a place to call home. A place to call his own. A place without property taxes and fees to rent and a place where Father dwelled.

For Adam, that home was with Father and Eve in the garden.

Spirit, in order for you to walk into you destiny, you need a place to call home.

And that place, whereever it is, is characterized by at least a couple of things: The presence of a loving and good Father, and a place of safety where you can learn how to be you as you step into the office of person.

I will cover the dynamic of the safe home in this post and the presence of a good Father in one of the two next.

When you have a place you can truly be you, you can branch out and decide what you like and what you do not like. You can allocate your likes and dislikes and grow into the person you were made to become.

So spirit, without stifling you, I would like to offer you the following blessing.

I bless you with a place to call home. I bless you with a place you can lay your head down and sleep in peace, whatever that is supposed to look like.

Whether your pleasure is coffee or tea; black, extra light, or bulletproof; hot or iced; cakes, cookies, muffins or biscuits (southern biscuits or English biscuits); chips or crisps; ketchup, tartar sauce, malt vinegar, aioli, or none of the above; ranch or italian; cookies or brownies; math or science; carpet or hardwood; and sunny, snowing, or rainy; I bless you with a place that is appointed in keeping with the preferences Father placed into you, spirit.

I bless you with a place that has soft grass, or sandy desert, or Carolina clay, or forests, or ocean surfs, or mountains (“mountains, Gandalf! And find a quiet place where I can finish my book.”) as those are each life-giving in unique ways to different people, depending of where we grew up and what our spirits each like.

I bless you with a home that appeals to you, whether city or country.

I bless you with being surrounded with the animals you enjoy, or the absence of animals if you prefer that.

For those that bend toward the arts, I bless you with the resources needed to own those sorts of art media that give life, whether that medium or expression is digital, or canvas, or Procreate, or a piano, or a some other musical instrument, or a throwing wheel, or drawing pencils, or oils, or acrylics, or sheet metal, or leather, or woodworking, or sewing implements, or crochet hooks, or needles and cross stich.

For those that move, I bless you with the means to exercise, whether that is a place that has free-weights, or treadmills, or a road or track on which to run, or a bike, a pool, a sparring partner, a 24-form, a football, a tennis racquet, a lacrosse field, leaves to rake, lawns to mow, the colors of fall leaves and the sounds of the crunch beneath your feet as you do the yardwork, loamy or clay-like soil in which you place compost and plants. I bless you, spirit, to move as you process the riddles and problems that you are working at solving.

For those that read, research, and write, I bless you with the books, tomes, inks, quills, parchments, and a desk of your chosen size, shape, and material.

I bless you with a home that above all, is a place of rejuvenation and restoration. I bless you with a place that enables you to level set from any potential disjointings of the world that you have worked in and lived in during the day.

I bless you spirit with a safe place complete with “the cool of the day” whatever that looks like to you. I bless you with a safe harbor and a home in which to anchor.

I bless you in the name of Yeshua ha-Mashiach.

Blessing of the December Window of Reconciliation #3: Destiny Aspect: Right Time, Rightly Sanctified

by theparacleteshammer, posted in December WOR Blessings: Reconcilation to Destiny

Beloved, I would like to invite your spirit forward for a connection.

Spirit, listen to the word of G-d for you for today.

“And on the seventh day God finished his work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had done. So God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it God rested from all his work that he had done in creation.”

Genesis 2:2–3 ESV

“And he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.”

Mark 2:27 ESV

Spirit, before you can sally forth to do exploits for the king, your timeline must be rightly set, and rightly aligned. Note, even G-d rested and was refreshed (Exodus 31:17). G-d needs seasons where He is refreshed. It’s not that He needs things the way we account needs. But there are needs that G-d has, as He accounts needs. He needs–or maybe a better word is “desires”– to have regular times of connection with us, times of refreshing, times of rest, times to ruminate while listening to and observing various aspects of His creation humming along.

Spirit, whether or not the soul and body with whom you reside understand it, rest is part of your design. It is inbred into you because it is part of G-d’s design. Being refreshed is something for which you were made. A right timeline that is sanctified is also a real and deep need.

So, spirit, I bless you with the right timestream. You are made for time. You were made to not waste time, or to curse time, as Python has choked the life out of this year. You were made to war in time, for time rightly set up and rightly alighned.

Lord Jesus, I bless and beseech you to war for the right timestream flow for each of these who will read this long after it has been written. I ask You to interfere with the plans of your ancient enemy to befoul and screw up the timeline of these Your family.

Father G-d, I ask that you come and I appeal to you as the Ancient of Days to bring Your righteous chronometer with its ever-flowing pendulum and constant sweep-hand. Father I ask you to set the Chronometer you intend in these your children and remove the vestiges of any counterfeit chronometers, broken clocks, busted wristwatches, and false or disoriented chronometers, and those perverted by Daylight Saving Time.

I ask that You would set things as far as the time flow you have for this your child in array against the befouling works of Leviathan, and to move, oh lovely Ancient of Days, against the twisting and coiling nonsense of Leviathan’s machinations against Your time line of Your children. Every day, untwisted and perfectly aligned and sanctified, that You have ordained for this, your child, was written in Your book for them before one of them came to be.

And as a member of Your royal priesthood and a Mercy who is designed to bring the flow of time into alignment and see it sanctified, I ask You to sanctify each of these days, setting them apart unto Your specific purposes for each.

And spirit, I bless you to receive the resources of sanctified days, even the days that remain unto 2020, and I bless you to skillfully weave together the principles of declaration as it pertains to this year, and to war with violence against the mindset that 2020 is a byword to be cursed.

Spirit, be refreshed with the right time, at the right time, and know that, you were made for this year, which is why G-d trusts you with the hardy gift that is this year.

And be at peace to rest deeply as you garner the spiritual, emotional, and physical capital needed to proceed to your destiny.

Apart from adequate rest and and sanctified timeline, your capacity to possess your birthright will be drastically taxed.

I bless you with the tenacity to work with your timeline and to sanctify it and see it rightly set up, in the name of Yeshua ha-Mashiach

Blessing of the December Window of Reconciliation #2: Destiny Aspect: Right Ideology

by theparacleteshammer, posted in December WOR Blessings: Reconcilation to Destiny

Beloved, I would like to invite your spirit to be present here as I bless them. Spirit, listen to the word of G-d for you for today.

Then Moses said to G-d, “If I come to the people of Israel and say to them, ‘The G-d of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ what shall I say to them?” G-d said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And he said, “Say this to the people of Israel: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’”

Exodus 3:13–14 ESV

“Then you shall say to Pharaoh, ‘Thus says the L-RD, Israel is my firstborn son, and I say to you, “Let my son go that he may serve me.” If you refuse to let him go, behold, I will kill your firstborn son.’”

Exodus 4:22–23 ESV

Spirit, the L-rd did not send Moses to Mizraim until after he anchored him several ways. One of those ways in which Moses was anchored was in the right ideology. The best anchor point that we can have is in G-d’s character. Not in our relationship with Him because sometimes, as David wrote repeatedly in the Psalms, our relationship is not always the way we want it (ideal), not in ourselves or our own ideas (sometimes our ideas don’t mesh well with G-d’s ideas, especially when we are so convinced we are unlovely, not even in statements of Scripture by themselves (because we have a breadth of statements in Scripture that believers use to assault us as miserable, wretched, worm, bastard sinners), not in emotional connection (because those connections ebb and flow), not in family (dysfunctional as they get).

G-d’s nature.

That is a specific body of unchanging reality. And yes, some of it is embodied in Scripture. But the reason, as above, I didn’t say Scripture is our anchor point, is precisely because people have used portions of the body of Scripture to say some pretty destabilizing things to us or about us.

So, spirit, consider that above passage. Moses went to Mizraim after He understood the nature of G-d. And the above passages tell us two things about the nature of G-d. One, that He IS. There is the IS-ness and the BEING-ness about G-d where G-d is outside of time and within time and everywhere and that communicates AVAILABILITY of G-d, NEARNESS of G-d, and CONSTANCY of G-d.

Second, the second passage says something about G-d’s nature.

And Imma just say this because some of y’all need to hear this with your spirits, deeply and affectionately.

G-d’s first self-revelation outside of his beingness and His constancy to Moses, and HIS FIRST REVELATION OF HIMSELF TO A PAGAN RULER, was the picture of a loving, affectionate, tender, and jealously-protective FATHER.

Spirit, there was a time when G-d was not Creator, and Maker of Heaven and Earth.

But there was NEVER a time when G-d was not Father.

Jesus, Eternally-and-forever-begotten of G-d, defined the Father as Father.

So, spirit, I bless you with the deep revelation of the eternality of G-d as Father and as the CONSTANT-across-all-time-unchanging-G-d Who is I AM.

And in the strength of that truth, I bless you spirit to pursue your destiny in fullness. That not a shred of your destiny would go unexplored.

I bless you with the revelation that the fullness of your destiny is in the soft-and-tender, affectionate hand of the Father of Lights, who is keenly interested and invested in your success. Father has skin in the game, such that He will deal with the fruit of wickedness that belongs to His ancient enemy.

I bless you with that deep understanding, in the name of Yeshua ha-Mashiach.

And His name shall be called, Wonderful Counselor, Mighty G-d, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace…

From Isaiah 9:6

Blessing of the December Window of Reconciliation #1: Destiny Aspect: Pain and Suffering and Our Response To It

by theparacleteshammer, posted in December WOR Blessings: Reconcilation to Destiny

Beloved, I would like to invite your spirit to attend to the text of Scripture below. Spirit, hear the word of the L-rd for you for today.

Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty warrior, but he was the son of a prostitute. Gilead was the father of Jephthah. And Gilead’s wife also bore him sons. And when his wife’s sons grew up, they drove Jephthah out and said to him, “You shall not have an inheritance in our father’s house, for you are the son of another woman.” Then Jephthah fled from his brothers and lived in the land of Tob, and worthless fellows collected around Jephthah and went out with him.
After a time the Ammonites made war against Israel. And when the Ammonites made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to bring Jephthah from the land of Tob. And they said to Jephthah, “Come and be our leader, that we may fight against the Ammonites.” But Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, “Did you not hate me and drive me out of my father’s house? Why have you come to me now when you are in distress?”

Judges 11:1-7 ESV

Spirit, it is possible to possess your birthright in isolation, but we cannot become people of destiny apart from community.

And in order to have the destiny that belongs to us in fullness, we need not just any community, but the right community.

Spirit, I would encourage you to remember, that G-d wastes nothing, even our mistakes and our selections of the wrong communities. He was here first, He allows and orders our steps, and though He is sovereign, He is not in control as with a marionette. Unlike Panem, He does not dangle your reality out of reach like a carrot to a donkey.

He does not reap you in order to terrorize you and keep you grasping for something unreachable.

He may use you to thwart a wicked system or wicked systems, and He may allow you painful passages for a season because He is hunting for true social justice, not the place where one political party overthrows another so that the oppressed can become the oppressors, but the L-rd’s destruction of unjust power structures so that HE CAN RADIATE HIS GLORY IN INTEGRITY and so the government can be placed more firmly upon His shoulder (Isaiah 9:6). In order to accomplish this, He may allow you to come to some level of harm in order to accomplish an end against his enemy from which they will never recover. You may end up putting some real skin in the game, and enduring some real pain, so the enemy thinks you are out because of despair. Friends may appear to turn against you, but this is all to the working of the L-rd.

Spirit, the question is, how will you respond when you are placed in painful situations, not situations of abundant comfort, but of abundant discomfort, pressed in on every side?

Jephthah faced three problems as I see it.

  1. He forgot who the real enemy was. He was focused on the people who had made fun of him, ran him out of town, probably gaslit him, not remembering that the L-rd’s enemies throughout the book of Judges were the Baalim which His people stubbornly worshipped. He focused on their hatred and so backed himself into a corner that was not the L-rd’s focus for him.
  2. He did not realize the L-rd was allowing pain into his life in order to build a greater victory against the L-rd’s enemies. G-d allows pain to bring us up to a higher place of earned authority.
  3. Most importantly, Jephthah responded to the pain in many horrid ways, wrong ways, and this wrong response to pain, instead of bringing a blessing, brings a skewed perspective and violated boundaries.

So spirit, when bad things happen to you, I bless you to slow down, stop, pause, and reflect.

I bless you to Selah.

I bless you to purposefully ascertain and discern any potential reasons the L-rd may be allowing painful situations.

I bless you to stop and connect as deeply as you can with the L-rd and to learn His plan for you in this season of pain. Jephthah was a warrior and designed to war, not to lead politically. The L-rd intentionally created a vacuum in military leadership so He could bring His children to accept His appointed general for that season.

I bless you not to engage in rash vows or hasty decisions.

I bless you to hear His voice.

I bless you to enshroud yourself in Father’s-wisdom-baptized decisions, and not go beyond and sacrifice things He never told you to sacrifice, unlike Jephthah.

I bless you to rest and allow the L-rd to unfold His plans in fullness so you can have not just your birthright, but also your destiny in the context of the series of communities He has for you.

Be at peace and rest in His love for you, spirit.

In the name of Yeshua ha-Mashaiach.

From the Desk of Amy Dudley: An Open Letter to the Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office (Louisiana)

An open letter to the Caddo Parish Sheriff’s office.

I have a great deal of respect for the officers that put their lives on the line everyday. It’s a job I couldn’t do. I will defend you for what you do. Thank you.

As a citizen of this parish I must voice a personal concern. Earlier today my husband and I came to the courthouse to be finger printed for some legal paperwork we needed to complete. I was confronted by the officers at the door for not wearing a mask. I know that they are doing their job.

I chose to put one on because we had to have the finger prints done… I was not given any “reasonable accommodation”, according to ADA guidelines, that would allow me the right to have my fingerprints done with out wearing one.

As a person who has experienced horrific rape, sodomy and torture, wearing a mask brings on terrifying panic attacks.

One of the kind ladies doing the finger printing worked quickly so that I could get out as soon as possible while another woman stood behind me bullying me to put the mask up over my nose…. making the whole situation even worse.

I accommodated the mandate the best I could while trying not have a complete melt down right there. There are several witnesses who saw me falling a part as I ran out of the building.

The panic attack lasted for over an hour before I could finally get a grip.

While I understand these people are doing their jobs, I fail to understand the lack of respect for those who truly are in danger when a mandate like this is enforced without compassion or understanding for circumstances that don’t fit the boxes of those making the demands.Does the ADA apply for EVERY disabled citizen or just some?

I feel humiliated. I was unable to maintain my dignity in a public place.

I left sobbing uncontrollably for all to see.

When will there be justice for people like me? Is compliance more important than human dignity?

Current Events And Financial Landing Pads

I am so done with the fakey prophetic words that promise us freedom by bastardizing cause-and-effect relationships and calling it a roadmap to a Jubilee level of freedom. We have a broke government planning to assume an incredible amount of debt but not eliminate it.

Second, when has our government done a good job of managing and eliminating debt?

And as it pertains to Scripture and the Year of Jubilee, that event and the instructions about handling that even were given to a financially responsible Giver nation, led by an Exhorter who walked in high numbers in the area of Reality, and which nation had sufficient financial solvency (Exodus 3:21-22, 12:36, 32:1-4) to completely eliminate those debts is a tremendous misinterpretation of Scripture.

Not a Prophet nation that led with insolvency through bleeding-heart fiscal irresponsibility to the tune of 22,000,000,000.00 in the hole.

Trapped By Blind Arameans

You cannot violate your way into freedom….

The Mesmerizing Spirit has found a massive landing pad in the last few decades and it is not letting go. It has figured out that when we see someone promise to bail us out even though we are financially insolvent, we will support that guy or gal, and consequently, we will be anesthetized from being able to see clearly to see where the enemy seeks to rob and degrade us further.

If someone promises you a solution and you are already at the point of despair unto death, if you are not anchored in Him (not His nature, not His attributes, not in Scripture), you might readily accept that solution, even if it is the good, which is the eternal enemy of the best.

This is another dynamic of how this pickpocketing clown works with the Canaanite Curse to create an oppressive workload as a result of selling birthrights for bowls of lentils.

Especially when empowered by the work of a group of Exhorters who are severely compromised (Joe Biden, Donald Trump, Bill Clinton), walking in non-reality, and feeding us a fantasy.

Four items, all from Republicans and Democrats, have demonstrated this nonsense, but clearly we have an issue with seeing clearly because we only call out the opposing party.

The auto manufacturer bailouts.

The subprime lending debacle.

The COVID bailouts and PPP loans.

And now the potential student loan bailouts.

This is all fruit of the Mesmerizing Spirit.

It’s desire is to distract you with false hope

Don’t buy the lie that you can violate your way into freedom. With a violation of principles comes a reaping of consequences.

From A Place of Earned Authority


As someone who paid off two degrees while his heart was getting ripped out through adultery, divorce, spiritual abuse, and emotional abuse…

As someone who lived as a widower…

I spent 3 years in abject solitude and 7 years grinding out a marriage that was doomed from the start to a verbally abusive Jezebel spirit who held my sons out as bait, while grinding out menial labor jobs and several of my spirit portions were bound up with fetters and not permitted to speak.

I have the earned authority to say this.

Do not settle for less than full-on, gritty reality. Stop settling. That is what the Pharisees did. They settled. They settled for what they could control and what fit into their boxes. That is why, in the end, they got Matthew 23.

Telluride (Prophet) and Gertrude (Exhorter)

What They Are Doing To You

These clowns in government are leading you along.

They do not know a thing about how republican government and fiscal responbility work.

Someone saying “I am from the government and I am here to help you,” should scare the hell out of you.

Someone claiming to be able to set you free financially when they have no plan for the debt except to assume it…

….when they do not have the means to eliminate it is not jubilee. It is further bondage on a national level.

A broke government cannot bring a financially enslaved people into the freedom that G-d meant us to walk out in a jubilee context.

The freedom of Jubilee comes because the L-rd teaches nations, which are solvent, cause-and-effect relationships and then sets them on a path that is in accordance with His heart.

Freedom does not come apart from us being willing to walk out the principles of Scripture. We have faith, and that faith causes us to execute. And indeed, we execute because we know the principles of Scripture, even the principles found in the Law.

Adonai did this with Israel, and Jesus the Exhorter is doing this now with us.

Violating financial principles will lead you to financial destruction.

65 thousand paid off in 12 years of clawing when my heart was getting flushed out.

And I can say, as a gooshy Mercy, that deliverance and liberty do not come simply because we cried out to G-d only.

Rather, deliverance comes because He partners with sons in the kingdom who are willing to put the principles to work on complex problems.

Deliverance comes because we act to humble ourselves and turn from our wicked ways, and to do the things He told us to do.

The Eighth Horn of the Dragon

Are you going to settle for the sort-of-freedom that comes with wealth transfer by a government that is known for its exceptional stupidity in all things fiscal?

Or are you going to run hard and fast with the principles and kick the Eighth Horn of the Dragon, Mammon, squarely in the teeth?

If you are not going to settle.

then DO NOT FALL FOR THE TRAP OF A CAMPAIGN PROMISE…

from a man who has no plan for fiscal responsibility outside of increasing spending and increasing taxes…

on a nation that is insolvent and on the verge of collapse…

in large part due to our trust in an artificial economy that is playing with derivatives and other esoteric economic foolishness.

Mesmerizing Spirit Series: Picking a Side

by theparacleteshammer, posted in Uncategorized

When Joshua was by Jericho, he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man was standing before him with his drawn sword in his hand. And Joshua went to him and said to him, “Are you for us, or for our adversaries?” And he said, “No; but I am the commander of the army of the L-RD. Now I have come.” And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped and said to him, “What does my lord say to his servant?” And the commander of the L-RD’S army said to Joshua, “Take off your sandals from your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy.” And Joshua did so.

Joshua 5:13–15 ESV

“We might do some things together. I don’t know about sides. I go my own way; but your way may go along with mine for a while.”

Fangorn, The Two Towers, “Treebeard”

We are told to pick a side repeatedly, and when neither side actually walks with righteousness, and there are very clearly several dynamics of compromise on either side, and, instead of having the faith to ask the Father if He wants to rip up the whole superstructure, we shrink our faith and ask Him which side He wants us to pick, based on slogans, and a whole lot of deception and skulking half-truth.

I want you, gang, to consider whether or not you are even on the right path asking the right question.

It’s not about sides.

It’s about that which is deeper.

When you are handed a group of wicked rulers and you pick one, and call them good, and make excuses for that ruler, then you open the door for all sorts of other junk.

But when you question the whole system, and ask the L-rd if He has a problem with the whole system, or even something deeper than where you are, then I would urge you to ask the L-rd what He wants you to do with that truth.

He may ask you to join with others and ask Him to begin the process of asking Him to quash that whole structure, or He may say, “the structure is fine, but there is a focal point over here.”

Find that focal point He has for you, and direct your prayer there.

Staring At the Right Place For the Wrong Reasons

You can be drawn to and prophesy over the right focal point with the wrong words.

Gang, I am encouraging you all to go deeper and ask much deeper questions than “which of these two men do You have for this job?”.

And for some, that might be the right question, and if the L-rd says “go with this or that person, regardless of how they present to others”, then do that.

But I would also challenge you to ask a bunch of questions and even some that you may not be hearing others ask.

Be willing to ask things like, “L-rd, are the roots of the system I am looking at an praying over off even a little bit?”

“Are our cornerstones fully square?”

Are the stones in the foundation off, or are they on-point and made with the right material.

“Are we asking based on presuppositions, and, as a result, blind to something else You are wanting to show us?”

“Father, is there something I am missing that You wish to show me? Is there something that, because of my perspective or hardwiring, or even my gifting, I am missing.” Sometimes, because of the way we are uniquely hardwired, there are things difficult for us to see. Whether it is justice, or empathy, or deeper understanding, or revelation, or management of resource, or systems, or flow, or felt needs….

The truth is….we know in part and we prophesy in part.

This sort of mindset requires that we leave aside questions that are readily evident that everyone is asking and seeing to answer, and dig for the questions that NO ONE is asking.

Gang, don’t be hasty.

Ask the L-rd to shine His light, and refuse to coach Him on where to shine it.

And be at peace with all that you are doing.
