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.

Blessing of Stillness #23: Father of Lights

by theparacleteshammer, posted in Blessings, Blessings of Stillness

Beloved,

I would like to invite your spirit to be present to hear the word of the L-rd 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, there is a place of stillness, before the Father brings His light into your life, where the enemy may send darkness. But that darkness is a lie. It is a deception.

I begin the blessing in this way, not so you are frightened to step into the sequence leading to the ultimate blessing of love, but rather so you are aware of the risks associated with moving toward the Father of Lights.

I bless you to find the space that is necessary to allow your discernment time to adjust to the current circumstances. You are allowed to take time to discern. You need not feel pressure to rush as you are engaging an exercise of spiritual discernment.

After the L-rd’s promise to our father Abraham, the first thing that happened, after a season of not bearing children, was the movement toward dark solutions. Sarai offered up her maidservant Hagar to Abraham, ostensibly to provide the child of promise. And for a moment, I imagine Abraham probably froze and thought, “wait a minute. what about the promises of G-d?”

And then after that moment had passed, when Sarai had prevailed upon him, Abram took Hagar and married her and immediately produced a child. He probably thought this was the provision because of the suddenness of the conception and birth.

However, it was that birth that sowed jealousy and discord between the women in the home.

Spirit, the promise of the Father does not come because we help G-d out; His solutions to a problem never involve something that will intentionally breed jealousy as a product.

It is true that people may grow jealous because of the gifts G-d gives us, but G-d never blesses us with the intention of causing other people to stumble and fall.

Ishmael, who came first, was the false hope and the false light.

Ishmael was the plan of the enemy to supplant Father’s ultimate plan, which involved Sarai being blessed in her womb, thus breaking the curse of barrenness.

Isaac was the true child of promise, and it was his presence that gave life to Sarai’s womb.

Spirit, I encourage you to apply that here.

You will have the opportunity to engage with the false light and the true light. The false light frequently comes first.

And you will have the opportunity to choose. You will have the chance to ask Father to show you what the counterfeit looks like, as well as the real.

If you will ask Father, he will show you both the true and examples of the false.

Spirit, when that initial and maybe scary or intimdating moment of darkness comes, I bless you to be still and stay put and await the light of Father to radiate into your own life. I bless you to be still even when darkness is what you see and even when counterfeit light is provided to you. I bless you when you are thirsty for the true light, with a stubbornness of resistance to every false light that seeks to destabilize you.

I bless you to remain absolutely still and I bless you to breathe deeply.

Spirit, I bless you deeply with the capacity to wait on the L-rd’s solution and His life. I bless you to move when that light-filled solution comes, while remaining still when the enemy counterfeit comes. I bless you to drink deeply of that light and to absorb it into the light that you are, spirit. And I bless you to shine with that light in its multi-faceted wisdom to others in need, as Father directs you to hand it out to them.

I bless you to be what you are, the prism, the diamond, and the crystal through which His brilliant light is broken apart into its full spectrum. I bless your season to bathe in and be healed by the Light that does not shift, change, or vary. I bless you with the revelation that His light is possessed not just with consistency, but also constancy.

As William Shakespeare once uttered the principle that was meant to be uttered by the King of Glory:

“I AM constant as the Northern Star”.

The Father of Lights is fixed between all dimensions, in all realities, and he does not vascillate. He is not wishy-washy. Even should the guide stars and parallaxes and pulsars and red giants fall from their places where they were placed on the Fourth Day, He will not be moved from his place of steadiness. He is constant beyond the constant of light, spirit. He is the Radiance of all light that is.

And just because he is constant and immovable does not mean that His heart is not moved when one of his children is hurting or destroyed or damaged or beaten.

To the contrary, He does move toward them. But He moves, spirit, with an anchoredness. He will not be shaken.

And He is not merely the Northern Star. Rather, and better, he is the G-d of the Seven Stars.

And I bless you not to be shaken when confronted with counterfeit light. I bless you to be gathered by the true Light of Father’s affectionate and warm countenance.

I bless you with SHARP discernment to know the difference between lights, and to welcome the Father of Lights, who will not force Himself on you, but will wait for your invitation and who also offers you an invitation.

Be at peace, spirit, and receive the blessing of the Father of Lights.

I bless you to know that the Father of Lights is not shifty or shady. He does not tell you He will provide something, and then not follow through. He gives what He says he is going to give.

I bless you with a relationship with the Father of Lights that is free of deception. I bless you, if you have previously taken the bait of offense, to rest in His light as He removes all hooks from your mouth, all snares from your feet, all chains from your arms, and all shrapnel from your body.

I bless you to rest and heal in the warmth of His Light.

I bless the scales to be removed from your eyes, spirit, as you follow His path and through His gate, which is narrow.

I bless you to traverse the high places which might have unexpected turns with the Light of His steady presence and affection.

I bless you to know that He allows the crooked paths and in partnership with You, makes those paths as if they were straight, and He is your guide.

I bless you with the knowledge that the Father of Lights is a better, more accurate, and way more surefooted guide than any sherpa on Everest.

I bless you to enter into His ever-rest.

I bless you, spirit with a life that is unplugged from unsustainable covenants and agreements with darkness, and I bless you with the freedom that comes from the one-sided covenant He made with you, that does not have any hidden clauses or gotcha statements or fine print with exceptions and signing statements.

I bless you with a relationship with Father that is free from guile and duplicity.

I bless every path you traverse with sure-footedness.

I bless you that as you submit to His plan, He will transform you from glory to glory, and from strength to strength.

I bless you to stand in His light, and I bless you to flow with Him in peace, and even when you are climbing and healing and running and resting, to be in a place of stillness that keeps you rock-steady in His light and in wholeness and peace.

I bless you with peace in the midst of readiness.

And I bless you with stillness in the midst of discerning between the real and the false.

I bless you with those things in the name of Yeshua ha-Meshiach.

And most importantly, I bless you to fall in love afresh with the G-d of the Seven Stars.

BLESSING OF STILLNESS #22: STILLNESS IN THE MIDST OF CONFLICT AND DISPUTE, THE STILLNESS THAT HONORS WHAT EACH OF YOU BRING TO THE TABLE

by theparacleteshammer, posted in Blessings, Blessings of Stillness

Beloveds, I would like to invite your spirits forward should they wish to join me, wherever you are each located, on this, the final day of the window of reconciliation to G-d.

Listen, o spirits of my tribesmen and tribeswomen, to the Word of G-d for you for today, to whatever degree you deem appropriate.

“All this is from G-d, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:that G-d was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.”2 Cor. 5:18-19”

Spirit, the L-rd has created a pause, even in the vale of the worst conflicts, for each of us, regardless of level of woundedness or heartache, or spiritual anguish, or mistreatment, or offense, or mischaracterization, to restrain ourselves and seek His reconciliation with those we at first think the enemy.It is in that moment that we give others the honor that they did not earn, but for which Christ died. It is that honor I extend to you.

I bless you with the stillness in the chaos to await the illumination of the Holy Spirit, that that light would not only show you the way, but also that that light would shine wherever G-d wants it to shine, and that He would keep it on whatever point of focus He wants it.

I bless each of you with the moment of stillness to receive the honor that comes from your work as sons of the Kingdom.

I bless you each to refuse to get taken up with mindless speculation and ceaseless disputes, which foster strife, and so miss the moment of stillness that belongs to you in that upheaval.

I bless each of you to slow down and to see the one person to whom you can bring honor, and I bless each of you to resist the Mesmerizing Spirit with its wiles and schemes,

I bless each of you with love and multiplied reconciliation with the Father of the Heavenly Lights.

I bless each of you to know the prevailing fulness of Christ’s abundant grace and love.I bless your hearts with a revelation of HIS tenderness toward each of you and your neighbor, the Samaritan in your life

.I bless each of you to overflow with the ministry of reconcilation that leads to life rather than death. I bless you not to count the sins of others against them in this season

.I bless each of your minds to come alive in and with the mind of Christ and with supernatural Strategy.

I bless your various parts, enforcers, systems, littles, and others with the recognition that each of them are honored and loved and counted as necessary.I bless you each with wholeness, and purpose, and design.

I bless each of your unique designs to spring forth and to spring to defense of the defenseless.I bless each of you with a love that transcends your understanding.

I bless each of you with honor, and recognize that each of you have variously committed to follow the way of love as best each of you know how.I speak to the light and the four winds that they would gather each of you up and move each of you as you wait in stillness to the places where you need to be to each see and hear and know the various pieces of the whole puzzle that each of you have, and to know where those sundry pieces fit, to bring the reconciliation into fulness.

I bless your puzzle pieces, Scrabble Tiles, Monopoly Houses, Go gemstones, and cake ingredients to all align.

That something beautiful would crown this season, and that we can hand those crowns to each of you as the Spirit wills.

In His Holy Name, I resist the spirit of the age that has been released to create an upheaval that would distraction you as you chart your course by His stars to your desired havens.

I bless you in the name of the G-d of the Seven Stars, in stillness.

May you afresh fall in love with Him anew.

Be at piece, in the name of אלוהי שבעת הכוכבים
