Blessing of the December Window of Reconciliation #7: Destiny Aspect, Right Product, Right Lane, Right Path

Beloved, I would like to invite your spirit forward, this time to attention, and though I am not a drill sergeant, this blessing might be a bit more on the proactive side of things. And that is okay.

Spirit, I would like for you to join me for a few minutes. Spirit, if you will, listen to the word of G-d for you for today. As much as what I am about to say might sound like home to you, it’s not about home. It is about the journey.

G-d said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to Bethel and dwell there. Make an altar there to the G-d who appeared to you when you fled from your brother Esau.”

Genesis 35:1 ESV

Arise and Go

Spirit, Qum, lechu. That’s Hebrew for “get up,” or “arise,” and “walk”. We have an excursion. Jacob’s life at this point was not about sitting on his keister and duff and allowing G-d’s purposes to come to him, because there were plenty of enemies surrounding him. His sons Simeon and Levi (the Prophet and the Teacher) had just gotten done making a mess of his relationships with the land of Shechem, after what Shechem had done to their sister. Jacob’s apparent refusal to deal in justice on behalf of his daughter led to the circumstances where his sons had to fix things, and it cost them.

Spirit, arise. Kum. Your perspective in this season is about to change, as is your geography, but only if you want them to change. G-d can give you the vision, but you have to move. Lechu. It is time to get the blood flowing into your legs as you see out the new thing Father is about to do in you.

It is not about sitting and letting life happen to you, letting it pass you by. It is, in this season about minding the gap and jumping aboard the train whereever the L-rd is going to see it.

Spirit I bless your reaction time to be speedy and full of vitality.

To Bethel

Spirit, you need vision, and open access to heaven and to see what the King is doing on your behalf.

In order to accomplish that, you MUST be seated in the right place in order to receive. You must go to the right piece of land, buy it, no matter if that land is in the People’s Republic of California (which is severely hurting after the gang-raping of the 1840’s), or if that land is on Manhattan Island, or the mountains of Bethel. It might mean that you have a journey to a land that is not in alignment with the current nature of your current set of resources. You might have to liquidate your current set of assets and change them out to a diferent set of resources.

I bless you with the willingness to go where you need to go, and I bless you with the skill to initiate trades into the resources that will suit your location.

Dwell There

Spirit, Jacob was not sent to Bethel to merely have a worship service and move on, but rather to live on and get used to the flow of the land, which was radically different than Aram Naharaim. The land was designed to become his home. And, spirit, the land of Bethel was made to feed Jacob’s spirit repeatedly, just as it had fed him in Genesis 28:11-22). He was made for that land to unpack vision and a purpose for the remainder of his life.

Spirit, I bless you to move to and dwell in the land Father wants for you in this season, and I bless you to receive from and give to the land the things Father has in that exchange. I bless you to expand and your vitality to grow.

I bless you to have the depth of well to draw from as you begin to dwell on that land where you belong, and to find in the Father’s presence, your belongingness, and in the presence of Jesus, your worth, and in the Holy Spirit, your competency.

Make An Altar

Spirit, when you get home to the piece of land where you belong, I bless you to make an altar to the L-rd. And I bless you to celebrate the L-rd’s purpose in creating you and hardwiring you for greatness. I bless your competency and your dominion. And I bless you to know that you have a place along each season of your journey where you belong.

I bless you to not neglect the gift of G-d that is in you from conception, from the new birth, and from the laying on of hands. I bless your altar and place of dedication to the King to not be corrupted or disrupted by any scheme of the enemy, and that when the enemy attempts to assault you at the altar, that the L-rd would thunder against him and all of his schemes.

I bless you with a deep revelation of the Holy Trinity and the Divine Council as you spend time meditiating in His presence.

Escape From Esau

Spirit, you cannot pursue your path fully, nor produce your G-d-ordained product for the kingdom, so long as you are allowing yourself to be subject to the spirit of jealousy. The lane, dear heart, will not be straight so long as you jealousy is permitted a place at your table. I give you permission to rout jealousy completely, spirit.

Truly, truly, I bless you to remember the L-rd’s former deliverances from the hand of those who have flowed against you in the spirit of jealousy. I bless you, spirit with comprehensive protection from Adonai Tsevaot, the L-rd of Hosts, and from Adonai Echad, the L-rd who is One, and the Father of the Heavenly Lights, which are the Hosts of Heaven, and the Father of the L-rd of Hosts, Yeshua ha-Mashiach.

Spirit, I bless you with deep peace, and I bless you with a strong and well-callibrated plumbline that helps you not take the bait of deception.

I bless you not to succumb to the temptation to
throw a wet towel on yourself,
limit yourself,
corral yourself,
edit yourself,
emasculate yourself,
or engage in the abominable practice of pharonic circumcision to your vitality and your fullness just because others cannot handle you, spirit.

Father can handle you, and your shipmates can handle you. The junk theology cannot handle you though. So I bless you with your hands being taught to war and your fingers to battle.

Zero Tolerance For the Deception That Takes Advantage of the Open Door Created By Jealousy

SPIRIT, I WOULD EXHORT YOU WITH THE FOLLOWING

It. Is. Written.

DO NOT BE DECEIVED

Every single good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of Lights, the Father Who Does Not Change, in the way shifting shadows ever change.

In Brilliant, real-white, opalescent light, sitting on the infinitely-colored-and-yet-Agean-Azure-Sapphire Throne between the infinitely-eye-laden wheels-within-wheels with sight in all direction. He is the Kaleidoscope Superior. And He provides the right, multi-faceted lenses, cut perfectly so you can see exactly what you need to see in sequence, as the colored chips of His polyvareigated wisdom and glory fall right into place right into sequence, in perfect alignment without a violation of your free will, as in the mystery of the syncronization between his sovereignty and your free will, there is an perfect enmeshment of light and truth.

Spirit, I bless you with the revelation that,
even thought He is sovereign…
He is not in control…
And does not always get what He wants in the culture…

But, spirit, with you, as you partner with Him and hear what He wants to do, and it blesses you and you partner with it, and walk in agreement with it, may the light fall into place where He wants it, and may you be enlivened to action and to causes that will leave the kingdom effects in place, so that, at least with you He does get what He wants.

I bless you, spirit, to value everything that He values, and that fully includes the good things He has placed in you.

And I bless you to refrain from damning yourself in ways and areas where He has not.

And above all of this, I bless you spirit with the revelation that He is happy and pleased with how He made you, even when the Calvinists who demand a whipping boy for all of their junk doctrine of the condition of believers do not. I bless you to receive Father’s approval ESPECIALLY when dour-faced, piss-and-bleach-guzzling, jealous believers do not approve.

I bless you spirit, with the revelation that Father loves what He sees when He looks at you, and He laughs with you and helps you to ascend to the place where His blueprints are. I bless you with an enjoyment rather than a self-flagellation of your identity, because spirit, He made you, designed you, and hardwired you as you are, whether Prophet with your high-strung emotion and cranky attitude toward unrighteousness, or Servant with your knack for helping everyone, or Teacher with your Anchor truth, slow gait, and FREAKING AWESOME PLACE OF SAFETY, or Exhorter with your breathtaking revelation and breathless pace of horizontal human relationships, or Giver with your wealth of gathering resources and being able to discern the pith of a situation, or Ruler/Judge/Deliverer, with your capacity to build an empire with a skeleton crew and do much with few imperfect resources, or Mercy with your touchy-feely Ethereal affection and intimacy and erstwhile whimsy and bouts of meloncholy.

Every gift that comes from the Father of Lights is both good and perfect, even those gifts that seem hard and come with a high responsiblity, and even those gifts that may seem like they are causing pain. I bless you with the skill to parse out between the pain that comes from the clowns and the enemy, and the pain that comes as a gift from the Father to refine you.

I bless you with His light, love, and pleasure in your hunting for your right path, your right lane, and your right adventure. I bless you will all of these revelations in the name of Yeshua ha-Mashiach.

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

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

“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….

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

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

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
