Beloved, I invite your spirit to commune with me for a few minutes.
Spirit, listen to the word of G-d for you for today
and in the wilderness, where you have seen how the L-RD your G-d carried you, as a man carries his son, all the way that you went until you came to this place.
Deuteronomy 1:31 ESV
Spirit, the end of the season in the wilderness, and just before they entered the promised land, the generation of Israel was getting used to the idea that G-d had raised them up and viewed them as sons.
He did not view them as slaves.
And likewise, under the New Covenant, WE ARE NOT SLAVES.
I am going to say it a different way.
If you refer to yourself as a slave under the New Covenant, which is better than the Old Covenant, you are doing it wrong.
Spirit, you cannot partake of fullness if you adopt the mentality you are a slave or even only or primarily a servant.
Slaves do not have a birthright or access to an inheritance. On the other hand, sons do.
Spirit, if Jesus views you as a son, you are a son. And I bless you with this deep revelation that you are a son.
Soul, if Jesus views you as a son or a friend and you view yourself as a servant, one of you is wrong, and it won’t be Jesus.
Soul, listen to the spirit who will tell you what you are.
Spirit, it might require seasons of fighting and warring against dumb and religious mentalities, and just because Paul called himself something or described himself as something does not serve as an indicator you are supposed to call yourself the same thing, especially if your mindset is currently bastard worm who is barely even saved.
Paul’s mindset was transformed from the murderer who thought more highly of himself than he ought, to a better perspective RELEVANT to him.
And just because Scripture DESCRIBES something does not mean it PRESCRIBES IT for everyone that reads it.
Rather, our job is to take on the mindset of Jesus who WAS A SON. Sure there was an element of humility, however, that wasn’t the only or first mindset that He had.
As the Son of G-d.
We are often coached through a sausage factory that we are responsible to blast ourselves and not allow ourselves to be raised up to be seated in the heavenly places as the sons that we areS
“No longer do I call you servants, but rather friends.”
You cannot carry, in a healthy manner, the mindset of being a son, unless you are willing to receive ALL aspects of who you are. Son. Friend, brother, fill-in-the-blank.
If you try to carry the mindset of a servant and you abandon the reality and mindset of a son or a friend, for which reconciliation Jesus died that you would be called friends and sons (John 1:12) then you will grow toxic as you work to earn his love.
And as sonship come through suffering with Hom, Spirit, I bless you in a few ways.
I bless you to allow Father to carry you when you are weak.
I bless you to walk in the revelation that you are a son and a friend of the King.
I bless you to hear the voice of this Friend while you work, while you do chores, while you are will the your friends and children, and while you are with your animals
I bless you to hear and receive his affection even in the wilderness.
I bless you to resist only carrying the mindset of a servant and not also carrying the mindset of friend and son.
I bless you to see sons and friends around you.
I bless you with deep compassion and affection.
And bless you to deeply understand and seek for what your King and Father are doing.
I bless you to ask questions.
I bless you to build and I bless you to feel the freedom necessary to build creatively.
I bless you to fight the mindset that you are only a servant or a slave.
I bless you to see what He is doing in and with you and I bless you to see more than you have ever seen before.
I bless you to know not just his majestic voice, but also his still small voice, the quiet and intimate whisper of a friend, and also his friendly voice, that voice that jokes and kids around and tells you stories.
I bless you with the freedom that, even though the L-rd knows what you are going to say before you say it, that you feel freedom to share stores that make you come alive, spirit.
I bless you with deep compassion and zeal for the things He made you to do.
I bless your unique design that is not subject to be conformed to any other man’s ideas or will.
I bless you, spirit, with a full compliment of expressions tied to your design.
I bless you with the revelation that even though you have a different deisgn, the L-RD made you and KNOWS the full measure of your design.
I bless your skill in acquiring new tools that the institutional church may not have vetted, but tools that the King has vetted.
I bless you to see creation in places where you first did not realize creation was there.
I bless you, spirit, to flow deeply as a son.
In the name of Yeshua.
Amein.
