WOR 2024: Blessing For Reconcilation to G-d the Father

Beloved,

I invite your spirit to connect in the name of Yeshua ha-Maschiach

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

Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.

James 1:16-17 ESV

Spirit, everything that you have received that pertains to life and godliness dwells in you, the human spirit. Everything that the person in whom you dwell needs resides with you. Every tool, understanding, need, resource, component, all of it, the whole thing, resides with you.

One of those gifts, one of the greatest of these gifts is the gift of Father Himself.

Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.”

John 14:23 ESV

Way beyond the Father merely forgiving us our sins and deigning to allow Himself to see us as miserable sinners barely saved by grace, He TRANSFORMS US and LIVES IN US.

The Ancient of Days gives His whole self to you, beloved. He resides in and partners with you. He does not keep His distance. Rather, He crosses the full distance and desires to make His home within you. You are not a reworked trashcan, spray-painted white and then He tosses in a shot of bleach to kill the stench. No, my love, rather you are completely transformed into a different vessel altogether, one for glory and beauty and love and tenderness and intimacy and adventure.

And He gives you a bunch of different tools and vessels to use, some for drinking, some for planting, some for growing, some for pouring out water, and on and on.

Spirit, He does not give a single bad or seconnd-rate gift. All of His gifts to you are first-rate and special and unique.

So spirit, I bless you.

I bless you to know the depth and range of His gifts. I bless you to feel how much pleasure and love and joy resonate in Father’s heart to be living with you. I bless you with the revelation that Father does not look at you and barely tolerates you. Rather, He longs for the moment when He can talk to you about all sorts of things, and His purpose and birthright for you.

I bless you to see deeply the good and the perfect, and that they are with you, and that there is no more perfect gift He can give than the fullness of Himself in you. He lives in you and makes home the way He wants it in you, and He is fully committed to changing everything about you or about His living environment that is not in alignment with the absolute best path and place for you.

He also takes on the burden of transforming you to a vessel of honor and filling you with His love.

I bless you to be free and full of all the things He has for you.

I bless you with that in the name of Yeshua.

Blessing of Stillness #8: Genesis 1:1: The Risk of Rejection of Perfect Love

Beloved, I would like to invite your spirit forward to connect with me in the name of Yeshua. No matter how angry you feel presently, and how badly you have felt wronged, I would still like to treat with your spirit, as they are willing, and I am not requiring you to come close or stand at attention. There are times to call the spirit to attention, and there are times not to. And this is one of those times where it does not feel right to do the military command thing.

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

In the beginning….G-d….

-From Genesis 1:1-

I am not going to adopt the same technique other writers and preachers have adopted previously. Rather, I am going to adopt a different strategy, spirit.

Here is my thought here, before all of the action, all of the mess, all of the fall, and all of the mercy mission, I have to ask this question at the head of all else.

Spirit, WHAT WAS G-D THINKING BEFORE HE SET OUT TO ACT? What was on His mind? I do not mean that question to lull you to sleep. I mean that question to provoke something in you to consider.

Ponder the following. Before the world was founded and the universe was measured out in a span. Before there was a devil or a man to mess with creation, G-d stepped into the reality of nothingness. Of existence that was not. Not Yet.

Father, He pondered deeply. Thought about what might be, and thought about the possibilities. He was still and quiet before He came and before the original creation was formed. Before He created, He was Father, and Son, begotten of the Father, and Holy Spirit. And the three, knowing what would happen, connected and engaged in the redemption of all that would be. They engaged in an act that predated the existence of anything else. And in redemptive power, the death and resurrection of the Son was engaged.

And provision of what would be occurred in the pouring out of Father’s eternal love.

So, the Son knew what would happen to Him, and the Father knew, thought of, prepared for, and accounted for every single kind of death and destruction that would follow in all eternity. By allowing for the place of choice and free will, the King chose instruments of execution, the time of execution, the pictures of the execution, and showed His affection by allowing sacrificial love to be the touchstone of His nature. And the thread of willingness was already present before even the first element came into being.

Messiah was indeed crucified before the first foundations, upon which the world was laid, were set.

Spirit, you were conceived and born into a world that eternally knew the redemptive power of the L-rd, and was incapable of living apart from that redemption.

The Law has as its heart, the passage that reads, “You shall love the L-rd Your G-d with all”. This passage is all about mercy, grace, and redemption. For the L-rd would never issue an edict or command that He did not Himself first execute on. Thus, the G-d of the Gospels was also the G-d of the Law. The Old Covenant is the New Covenant. There were not two covenants, nor did the G-d on the Right Side of the Book apologize for the actions of the G-d of the Left Side of the Book. Pulse-pounding, tender, affectionate, messy, deep, grace-and-mercy-filled Love was more than the watchword or a parable to be jettisoned in favor of the Law. Rather, He, Love, was the Foundation of the Law.

So that you would never have to fret about whether or not the King’s compassion was ever not present, the Death of the Son was not some cheap parlor trick, or some cook-the-books accounting transaction, the King established His Death and His DEEP and UNYIELDING Love as the cornerstone of the whole universe.

Spirit, I want to bless you with something that is without equal in existence, and with all my heart I want to say this.

You were created first with tender compassion, love, redemptive power, and life flowing through every letter of all of Scripture. Not one ounce of the biblical text was written apart from the sacrificial, warm, safe, and tender affection of the King, who saw to it you would be able to continue knowing the root of His Life.

So, I bless you with love from the beginning, from before you were born and before the first human stepped onto the world stage.

I bless you with a wealth of the Infinity that is Perfect Love in your heart that is a microcosm of the whole of Perfect Love that built the Universe completely.

I bless you to know Perfect Love so deeply.

I bless you to see the King and the way You move His heart so much that He gave EVERYTHING He had to give in order to have the chance of your love in return, even though there was no guarantee you would return that love, because Free Will, Free Love, and Freedom govern His every move.

Perfect Love, in order to exist, must suffer the risk of rejection, and so the right to choose to reject love must also be present for control and manipulation to have an antidote. Her completely loved you knowing you might not love Him back.

I bless you to receive everything needed to sustain the reception of His Perfect Love.

I bless you with that strength in the name of Yeshua, who loves you in complete strength and tenderness.

WOR Blessings 2024, Season A: Reconciled to Community: Blessing 1: From the Desk of Telluride


Beloved,

I call your spirit to attention in the name of Yeshua, and it is appropriate this time for me to do so.

Prophet portion, I call on you, dearest love.

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

Then Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, “Come, let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised; it may be that the L-RD will work for us. For nothing restrains the L-RD from saving by many or by few.”

So his armorbearer said to him, “Do all that is in your heart. Go then; here I am with you, according to your heart.”

Then Jonathan said, “Very well, let us cross over to these men, and we will show ourselves to them. If they say thus to us, ‘Wait until we come to you,’ then we will stand still in our place and not go up to them. But if they say thus, ‘Come up to us,’ then we will go up. For the LORD has delivered them into our hand, and this will be a sign to us.”

1 Samuel 14:6–10 NKJV

Johnathan, the Prophet, the son of Saul, the Son of Kish, showed his intensity and his fierceness of devotion to the L-rd, even when outnumbered by hundreds-to-one odds.

Prophet, even though you are oftentimes the most beaten-up; the most hammered-on by the body; the most relentlessly-pursued for your incurable intensity; and the most-reviled for your black-and-white, often-simplistic worldview; beloved, you are also THE ONE that the Redemptive Gift Tribes rely on to get the crazy-ass shit done that NO ONE else will do. With few, you accomplish much.

That is your dignity.

Sure, on the way to accomplishing the ends for which you were designed, you will likely piss off a few admirals, be placed in an impossible situation with few resources, be concerned that you might not be able to help everyone in harm’s way, and fight dark things that others might fear, but with you, you carry one of the greatest assets and resources needed for those dark paths. You carry this as free money, Prophet.

Faith and fearlessness.

You were made for the fight. Hardwired for the war. Designed for the hardest and harshest environments.

So, Prophet, I bless you as you gamble on these principles that are your bread-and-butter.

I bless you to be the rallying point for the community to the fight.

I bless you to be the tip of the sword, and the thorn in the enemy’s flesh.

I bless you to know you were forged for the hardness. And because of that, as a precursor to peace and the gathering of community, you were made to lead the charge and protect those of us who are more vulnerable, and for whom faith and fearlessness are harder to handle.

I also bless your heart to find a safe place, one or two or more people who are a place with whom you can rest.

The heart…safely trusts….and that one shall have no lack of gain.

You were made to have a tough and strong exterior, but you were also made, because you have access to great faith without knowing all ends, a tender heart. I see your heart for the people in your tribe. My darling Prophet, you were made to bring the family together in ways you do not yet understand, in high moral standing, and with ethics etched into your very being.

You are a deep light, Prophet. And the King’s heart yearns for you to see it. The way forward, which is why you see the vision in the distance and handle principles so effectively, so you can extrapolate and see what will be, not by the Spirit or the revelation of the moment, but by your design and hard wiring. Your nature is to solve problems with the principles.

It is different with you than with an office Prophet or the manifestation of prophesying.

For this capacity to believe comes because you weave together principles into building blocks to produce change and to see those results far down the road.

I bless that distance vision and the skill of weaving to be unencumbered. I bless you to have strength for the fight. And I bless you to not worry about whether or not you will be justified in the sight of others, for you know your justification will come in the King’s sight because in the fiber of your being, you have all you need inside of you, coupled with the limited resources outside of you and inside of you to solve the problem of the moment.

Prophet, may you know the King’s love in the name of Yeshua.

Amein.

Spirit Blessing: A Wilderness Blessing From Isaiah 40

#FromTheDeskOfSam

Beloved,

I invite all seven portions of your spirit to be present for this one, in the name of Yeshua.

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

  1. The voice of one crying in the wilderness:
  2. Prepare the way of the L-RD;
  3. Make straight in the desert A highway for our God.
  4. Every valley shall be exalted And every mountain and hill brought low;
  5. The crooked places shall be made straight And the rough places smooth;
  6. The glory of the LORD shall be revealed,
  7. And all flesh shall see it together;

(From Isaiah 40:3–5 NKJV)

Spirit, there will be seasons where you feel you are in tough spaces. There may be times when death and destruction and breakings and fire seem to rain from above and all around you is chaos and the Nazgul’s Dark Breath.

But, spirit, Your King, YOUR KING, is very present and orchestrating responses and leading charges and moving on your behalf. There is a voice that cuts across the battlefield donneybrooks, like unto a trumpet, a cry of command.

Spirit, that voice leads to preparation, deep loving preparation. Without any other preamble, or fanfare. It gets to the point, and cuts the confusion that messes with lines of understanding. And the ONLY obsession of the Commander is that a way to you, and a way for you is prepared. Deeply, and definitively set out. So there is no uncertainty.

And it is not just a tiny little footpath, spirit. Rather, it is a highway of holiness to your location, and through the enemy’s camp, leading to the despoiling of the Egyptians.

The mountains have been levelled and the vales and straths have been set into alignment to provide a footpath for your feet. And all of this preparation is unto one thing: the revelation of the King’s glory in the wilderness in your midst. He will make the desert a pool.

And He will break the crookedness, and in its place, set alignment, faithful, straight, and true paths.

So, I bless you, spirit, to receive that process that leads to the expression of His kindness and true purposes for you.

May your path, mind, heart, and every aspect of your life be cleansed of the gunk, and may you receive His deep refreshing.

I bless you to receive that work He does to make the paths clear. I bless you spirit to receive the athelas crushed and steamed to drive back the enemy’s toxic fumes of breath from your senses. I bless you, as the warrior you are, to receive revivifying aromas that bring deep rest and comfort and convalescence. May the King’s Foil fill your senses. I bless you with the reality that “the hands of the king are the hands of a healer, and so shall the rightful king be known.”

And I bless you to rest as He comes to you.

Whole, and affectionate love and joy, spirit. In the name of Yeshua.

Amein…

Blessing of Stillness: Song of Solomon 5:10

Beloved,

I invite your spirit, whether broken or who, shattered or put together, safe or hurting, on the run or at a save haven, to be present with me kn the name of Yeshua:

Spirit in seven portions, listen to the Word of G-d for you for today.

My beloved is dazzling and ruddy, the Fairest of Ten Thousand. 

-Song of Solomon 5:10-

Spirit, as much as you have heard this used to describe Yeshua, I am ant you to rest in shalom and see how he sees you, His beloved bride, pure and spotless.

You, spirit, harried or at rest, sit a while with this reality. Soak in it, meditate on it. 

You, right now,

You, following the harassment and abuse….

You, following the mistreatment….

You, following the hang-ups, screw-ups, sins, mistakes, misjudgments, foul-ups, and wreckage…

Spirit, you ARE dazzling and ruddy……

You ARE the Fairest of Ten Thousand. 

You ARE the Apple of His eye, and His affection, tenderness, and adoration are yours. They are your treasures. From everlasting to everlasting. From the depths of His being to the depths of your being, He wants to provide a flow of water and love and when you are ready for it, fire, by turns. But He isn’t going to force anything on you. He will partner with you, spirit, in your seven portions.

I bless you to rest and to allow the King of Glory to carry you to the place where He will remove the shrapnel and the gunk and the pus and all the matter that is gumming up your inner workings.

I bless you with the revelation that Father’s lap is the surgical table, and even while you are on that table being worked on, even with all your hang-ups and deep in junk, WHILE YOU ARE DARK, you are still the most LOVELY in His eyes.

I bless you to rest in stillness and allow Him to work, and even should you pass out, He will keep you alive if you will allow Him.

I bless you to know not just the saving power of the Bridegroom, O Bride of the King and the Fairest of Ten Thousand….

I also bless you to know the KEEPING power of G-d, dear one, lovely and beautiful. 

I bless you with all of that revelation, spirit, in the name of Yeshua.

Concerning the Father’s Faithfulness From Everlasting To Everlasting: WOR Blessing #4: Enduring in a Place

Enduring Where You are

When the Father shows you where He is taking you, He also might show you chunks of the process involved in sustaining you there.

It takes a process, and not just a movement to get to a place.

G-d may actually take you a place, due to His faithfulness to keep His word, where you had adequate time to develop the skill, but did not allocate that time to develop that skill necessary to sustain you in that place.

If you will not only ask the Father for your destination in this season, but also the willingness to embrace the character necessary to flourish in fulfillment in this season, He will gladly coach you.

But if you do not, then you may get there, but because the process was bypassed, you may not last there.

Blessing

So, beloved, I invite your spirit to be present. Spirit, if you will, the following is not issued as a command or an order, but as an imploration and an exhortation to listen. I plead with you to hear the word of El Shaddai for today:

 Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let ENDURANCE have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

Jas 1:2-4 NAS95

Beloved spirit, you were made to occupy a place of leadership in the partnership with the soul. And in that place, you were made to receive from the Trinity the resources necessary to not merely survive, but also to thrive in a place, whereever ______ goes. They have gifts, a design, callings, and aspirations, but those aspirations that flow from their design will not be sustainable without the process that galvanizes _______ and enables them to stick it out in a place when circumstances get difficult.

Testing…trials…these are part of our portion that lead us to a place of endurance in faith. They build the hardiness of sinewy, life-strong muscle that does not buckle. And spirit, I know life can be rough. But it is even more rough when that fruit of endurance has not been cultivated.

So, spirit, I bless you with a revelation of El Olam, the Everlasting G-d, who outlasts every other god in the field and in the realms of eternity and time. He is built to Everlast, so that he might provide you with Ever-Rest.

Spirit, I bless you with a deep love and longevity that will outstrip every adversary, outdo ever accuser, and outwit every serpent.

I bless you to fight for those you love. I bless you to be encouraged against those who would doubt you.

I bless you to travel the many leagues and have strength yet to fight.

I bless you to have the endurance that leads you to overcome and conquer the ancient enemy that would seek destructions.

I bless not just the product of victory, but also the process that is difficult that is a Bessemer furnace that leads you to have and possess the strength to move toward victory.

I bless you with the skill to see what is ahead and what is in you, and I bless you to lean deeply into the heart of your Bridegroom and Father who “trains your hands to war and your fingers to battle” (from Psalm 144:1). I bless you to know what strongholds are present in a place, and what authority you need to cultivate in order to come in the opposite spirit in a place that needs freeing. I bless you also to see what issues you need to deal with personally so you can cultivate and earn the authority necessary.

And I bless you to see the land freed as a result of the endurance you will cultivate for _______.

Be blessed deeply, spirit, in the name of Yeshua.

Amein.

June 2023 WOR Blessing #3: Now The Serpent…

Beloved,

I would like to invite your spirit to connect in the name of Yeshua.

Spirit, listen to the word of El Shaddai for you for today

Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, “Indeed, has God said, ‘You shall not eat from any tree of the garden’?” 

Genesis 3:1 NAS95

Spirit, there are going to be times when you are in creation dealing with the enemy of our souls. You are likely going to hear him question your place, your love, your heart, your very design, and your purpose.

In this case, the serpent was questioning Eve’s right to stand in the place as a foxhole buddy, and a fellow warrior of her husband. And the church has been doing this for a long time.

And using hammer/bludgeon passages to silence powerful sons of the King, both male and female, when it comes to executing on their design.

Such as:

But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

1 Tim 2:12-14 KJV

As if Paul, who was taught by woman was actually stating this as carte blanche for all women in all churches.

Now, whether or not Paul was a chauvanist is not my tack on this or the other passages. My issue is one of design. Our women were made to fight, build, and lead just as much as the men.

And given that G-d made us to be compatriots, male and female, we do better when we fight together and lead together, pointing our weapons at the true enemy of our souls.

Spirit, you were made for the fight, no matter your sex. You were made for community and to lead no matter what the soul says, or the culture says, or the church culture says. And this is one issue I brook not one bit of unbiblical foolishness. The King made us to be keepers of one another. And we belong, with equal rights and equal access before the blood and the love of the Holy One of Israel.

So, I bless you, when you are on the land blessing it.

I bless you to recognize the voice of the evil one, and to respond rightly to it.

When the devil opens his mouth to speak YOU HIT HIM!!!! -E.V. Hill @ Promise Keepers-

I bless you to HIT HIM!!!! HIT HIM!!!!

I bless you spirit, to be strong, no matter what, and confident, no matter what, and to HIT THAT CLOWN WITH THE TRUTH.

I BLESS THE SHARP TWO-EDGED SWORD THAT IS IN YOUR HUSBAND’S MOUTH TO ALSO BE IN YOUR MOUTH, BRIDE!!!!

Spirit, I bless you with love and all the tenderness and confidence and affection and truth in every way, no matter what happens.

And after the enemy has fled, I bless you to hear the heart cry of the land. I bless you to hear the love of the Bridegroom your Husband to your heart, spirit. I bless you to hear His voice in the cool of the day. I bless you to abide as you hear and respond to the land. I bless you with His strength in your weakness. I bless you with divine strength in your inner man.

I bless you with love that transcends all your doubts.

I bless you with the revelation of the truth that transcends and CUTS the enemy’s nonsense.

And I bless you to be established in the Truth that is your Bridegroom and Lover and Husband…..For He is both romance and strength, truth and tenderness, cold and hot; mind, heart, and reins.

And He adores you deeply as you connect with the land.

I bless you in that revelation, in the name of Yeshua.

June 2023 WOR Blessing #2: Without Form And Void

Beloved,

I invite your spirit to be present, in the name of Yeshua.

Spirit, listen ot the word of El Shaddai for today:

The Earth was without form and void…

From Genesis 1:2

Spirit, you are going to come across patches of land that feel tohu ve bohu. Chaotic, waste, empty, messed-up, befouled, vexed, defiled, broken, ruined, and otherwise in not good states. This text says before the L-rd began to refill the land, it was completely wasted and destroyed. The land was in dire need and in outer darkness from a cataclysm of some sort.

Spirit, in this season, I would ask you to be open to the possibility that the L-rd has you in the land and it may be because you and soul were made to bring something to the land it would not otherwise have.

I encourage you to consider deeply whether you have a role to play in the healing of the land.

And I will note, it is not your job to do the heavy lifting, spirit. That is the job of the King. He will work at it. But He does look for human partnerships to bring transformation to creation. This is why, later, it was said, “the L-RD G-d planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed”.

Spirit, you were chosen and placed on a particular piece of land to bring the life of the King to that chunk of land.

So, I bless you to see the vision the L-rd has for that patch of land, and to partner with Him according to that vision.

I bless you to work with the land that is torn-up and chaotic.

I bless you to work even when situations are not ideal. I do bless you to see what you can contribute as you partner with the L-rd to bring the life of G-d in a spiritual wasteland, and maybe even a physical wasteland.

I bless you to see the best when you see the worst.

I bless you with a revelation of the L-rd G-d that is equal to the task at hand.

I bless you in the name of Yeshua to find the life and flow of G-d and to incorporate that life flow into your working with the land.

Be at peace and wholeness, spirit, in the name of Yeshua.

Amein.

June 2023 WOR Blessing #1: Reconciled to Land, Land Not Condemned, You Not Condemned

Beloved,

I invite your spirit to be present, forward. I am not your drill sergeant, therefore I am not going to call it to attention. That’s just not my way; that’s not how i do it.

Spirit, I bless you to be present, whether far away or near, whether divided or integrated altogether.

I bless you to be as near to or as far away from me as you need to be.

But I encourage you to listen. Listen to the word of El Shaddai…

“For G-d did not send his son into the world to condemn the world, but that through Him the world might be saved.”

John 3:17

Spirit, there is a place for the King where He yearns not just for the people in the world, but also the land itself. He does not want to condemn. It’s not His heart to condemn. His Father’s heart is to teach, and to instruct, and to show, and to show cause-and-effect. Spirit, He wants to do this with you. He wants to show you how deeply you are loved.

So, I bless you, spirit, to receive revelation of the not-condemnation of the L-rd. He does not condemn you. He does not condemn where you live. He doesn’t condemn ________ city that anybody else might condemn. He doesn’t condemn Washington, DC. He doesn’t condemn San Francisco. He doesn’t condemn Boston. He doesn’t condemn Moscow. He doesn’t condemn London. He doesn’t condemn Beijing.

But that, through Him, through the Son, the Bridegroom, Who romances the Bride, they might come to know.

So, spirit, I bless you with that revelation. I bless you with a deep, deep revelation of what the L-rd has for you in your place, in your season. I bless you to partner with the L-rd in this season in working with the land to hear what He is saying. “Son/daughter there is a portal over there.”

“There is a structure over there.”

“There’s a Leviathan.”

“There is a Nephilim.”

“There are clowns.”

(That’s my term for demons. That’s my term, not Arthur’s. I don’t call them critters, because I do not think they merit the dignity of any of the members of the animal kingdom, and critters for me are soft and squishy and friend-shaped. I refer to the enemy as clowns because he is a circus show and he deserves to be shut down. At every stop. And thoroughly run out of town. Off the land. He does not deserve honor and worship. I might respect that he has some sort of authority or whatever the case. But there are times when I just do not have time for the crap he brings to the table.)

So I bless you to not have time to glorify overly what the enemy is doing. I bless you rather to know the purposes of G-d for the land, and to spend time on that dynamic instead.

I bless you to hear when the L-rd is saying, “check that structure over there. Look over here. Give a call to this person. Put your heads together. Devise a strategy.”

I bless you to know the strategies. I bless your toolbox to increase. I bless your toolbox of not-condemnation-but LOVE to INCREASE!

I bless your heart and your mind and the eyes of your heart to be opened and able to perceive and see what needs to be seen.

I bless you to know the King’s love and the love He has in this season. And I bless you to see the land move up from negative numbers up to zero and into positive numbers and grow.

And I bless you as you encourage and coach the land.

Be at peace, gang.

Full of the King’s purposes.

Be at peace, spirit.

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

Amein.

Blessing Your Spirit: Tiny Human, Part 10


Beloved, I invite your spirit forward to treat with me in the name of Yeshua.

Spirit, listen to the word of El Shaddai, for you today.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.

And I shall dwell in the house of the L-rd forever.

Psalm 23:8 (ESV)

Goodness is G-d’s assessment of his creation. And G-d called all that he had created and made good. Tov. It was pleasing to behold. Goodness is designed to track and accompany us all of the days of our lives. It is not a temporary thing that happens, as if it is something we strive for. It’s a life flow that reminds us of the core of who we are on our worst days.

Mercy, by contrast, is for the worst of what happens to us. When we mess up, Abba, Our Father, is still with us and for us and falls is good. When we mess up, He reminds us through Mercy that He still wants us. Goodness reminds us of who we are as He designed us. Mercy is for our mess-ups in action.

We might do bad stuff, but that doesn’t mean bad is who we are in core.

We need Mercy to protect us when we get assaulted in our core.

Spirit, you will not be put out of your Father’s house simply because you messed something up.

Spirit, He designed you to be His chip off the old block.

Spirit your dwelling place is in His home.

So, spirit, I bless you to remain at home. His home is a place where you are always welcome. His home is not a place of rejection. Rather, it’s a place of acceptance. It’s a place of tenderness. It’s a place of affection. And it’s a place where the heartache can just melt away.

I bless you to recognize this about your parents. Though they are imperfect, they yearn for you to have a place for you can just rest and be yourself. They yearn for you to come home.

Spirit, there is more for you than just a place of abuse and pain. There is more than just a place of rejection.

No rejection in the arms of your Father.

Spirit, I bless you with the revelation of that. Deeply, may it penetrate your deepest places. Those places where your life flow is deep enough for the stuff of dreams. The place where your yearnings mean reality and bring destiny into place.

The place of love. The House of the L-rd.

I bless you to rest in His goodness, His mercy, and His home.

I bless you to be filled with all the fullness of G-d in your heart. I bless your heart to be stabilized by His presence, and with His grace, and in His love.

I bless you to know the compassion that brings you home when you’re hurting.

and I bless you with the tenacity to latch onto the goodness of G-d all throughout your life in every facet.

I bless you to be merciful, so that you will also be shown mercy. Boatloads of mercy.

and I bless you to find your ultimate dwelling place with the King.

Be at peace in the bubble of Father’s shalom.

in the name of Yeshua,

Amein
