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

by theparacleteshammer, posted in June WOR Blessings: Reconciliation to Land

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 #1: Reconciled to Land, Land Not Condemned, You Not Condemned

by theparacleteshammer, posted in June WOR Blessings: Reconciliation to Land

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.

Window of Reconciliation Blessings: June 2021 (Reconciling to Land) Blessing #6: Land Aspect: Cursed From The Land/Land Turned Away From Us/Our Offense and the Land

by theparacleteshammer, posted in Blessings, June WOR Blessings: Reconciliation to Land

Beloved,

I would like to invite your spirit forward to converse with me.

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

“And now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.”

Gen 4:11 ESV

Spirit, the ground responded to Cain in this passage. The ground, which previously yielded it strength, chose to say, “no thanks, we are not going to work with you any more. You put something into me that DOES NOT BELONG.” Your offense, which G-d tried to fix by approaching you to restore relationship, muliplied into murderous rage.

And as a result, instead of continuing as a life-giving farmer and interactings positivly with the land, Cain was cut off by the land and forced to change jobs to work with dead bricks and building city towers, which was not his design. G-d was just recognizing that reality of what had happenen in the ground’s actions towrad Cain. No longer does the land connect and together with its strength, and partner with Cain’s strength, but now futility is reaped due to carrying an offense way too far.

Spirit, there are piece of land that simply are not going to want to respond to you due to your actions and attitudes, and due to your offense or your pain.

If you can resolve the offense you are dealing with, you might be able to reconnect with the land.

So, spirit, I step toward you in order to bless you thus.

For those who are offended and their offense is in the process of jeopardizing their connection to the land, spirit, I bless you to assess and consider whether or not you are hurt or wounded or angry or offended, and I bless you to sit with Father and allow Him to heal you of those offenses and to help you process so that the consequences do not further damage connection with the land.

For those who have already been cut off from the land, spirit, I bless you to sit with Father and work whatever process is necessary to be delivered or healed.

For those who are working with a parcel of land that is angry or offended or has cut someone else off, spirit, I bless you to sit with the land, especially if that is your current assignment, and to wait for the land to come around to be willing to speak with you.

For the record, there is a football stadium in Georgia that has this feeling of turned-in and “I am not going to speak with anyone, believer or no, because people are only interested in me for the creature comforts I can satiate”. This piece of land has been chewed up in the spirit and abused by hundreds of people, and the land is not interested in coming out of its shell quite yet

I bless each of you to hear the L-rd and process the reality of what He has for each of you in dealing with land that has cut you or someone else off.

I bless you, spirit, to be INCREDIBLY careful NOT TO DEVOLVE into a mindset of “I have AUTHORITY EVERYWHERE NO MATTER WHAT AND WILL COMMAND THE LAND WITH MY APOSTOLIC DECLARE-AND-DECREE MAGIC FORMULAE. There are some parcels of land that will not treat or parley with anyone in the presence of such a mindset. Some land just needs to be sat with because it has been nastily pulled and yanked and too much blood has been shed here or there.

I think of the Shenandoah Valley of Northern Virginia. So much blood has been spilled, much to the shame of both North and South, and the land is torn up and vexed with the spirit of witchcraft. That blood has empowered some really nasty clowns. And gang, we need some deep reconciliation and HUMILITY in that region that is free of snark and sarcasm and jabs and mordance. And I am not just saying racial reconciliation. I am saying geographical reconciliation.

Spirit, I bless you to be mindful of the nature of the land where you are going, to be respectful of the land, and to realize that most parcels of land you simply cannot declare and decree into growth and postive numbers. Most parcels of land require a few deep conversations and humility that comes through well-executed actions. There is an accrual of trust that simply must happen and will not happen without considerable enjoyment of the land and speaking to the recognition of the treasures the land currently has.

So, spirit, I further bless you to sit with a piece of land that has bee radically torn up, and to find something that is faithful, true, and beautiful in that land and to celebrate that which is beauty, faithful, and true.

Spirit, I bless you to be loyal, brave, true, faithful, and gentle with the parcel to which you are sent.

I bless you to accrue the skill to approach the lands to which you are called, no matter how angry or chewed-up they may be, taht yo may manifest constancy everywhere you go. That you may walk in a sameness of spirit, as opposed to the hypocrisy that hampers effectiveness.

I bless you, spirit, with the tenacity that Father brought to the table when He and Jesus worked for the redemption of all creation.

I bless you to embrace the pain to which you were called.

I bless you to earn the authority that is concomitant with your assignments.

From Uncle Google:

Concomitant
con·com·i·tant/kənˈkämədənt
FORMAL
adjective

  1. naturally accompanying or associated.

Spirit, I bless your skill to increase, your willingness to grow, your love to manifest when you work with the land to which you are assigned, and….

I bless you with the stubborn resolve to refuse to believe that the land’s initial reception of you is the only, prime, or a major indicator of whether or not you are supposed to be there.

We listen to Father’s loving voice, spirit as an indicator of our assignment, not the anguish of a piece of land, and, spirit, you have been given an assignment that is equal to your design,

AND THAT IS EQUAL TO YOUR WILLINGNESS…
TO EMBRACE THE PROCESS NECESSARY TO EARN THE SELFLESS, HUMBLE, AND COMPASSIONATE AUTHORITY…
THAT IS ALSO FREE FROM AGENDA….
WHICH IS NECESSARY TO LIBERATE THOSE PARCELS OF LAND TO WHICH YOU HAVE BEEN CALLED.

I Bless you to embrace the process of growth necessary no matter how painful in order to do what G-d made you to do.

Spirit, the flavor of this season of reconciliation is just that.

We are reconciling with land, much of which may be alienated and much of which may have initiated that reaction of alienation due to abuse. The skill and sameness and constancy cannot be accrued by “I declare and decree”. That trust must be earned. That favor must come by turns. Spirit, you may have to hug a porcupine, or a honey badger, or a African Lion for a season that has zero interest in immediately connecting.

You cannot hug with a command, and you cannot declare and decree yourself into intimacy.

Tenderness does not work that way. And some of the harder forms of authority do not work that way.

In order to have the softness of the raccoon’s paws enfold your fingers, or in order to eaarn the authority necessary to massage the lion’s paws, spirit, you might have to risk the reality that raccoons are unpredictable and smart as whips, and the reality that lions are friggin dangerous.

Spirit, the rewards of patience and skill taken to learn the ins and outs of sitting with a damaged animal or piece ofland are IMMENSE.

And who knows, spirit? You may begin with a harsh and angry and bitter parcel, and end up with something that enjoys seeing you from day to day as time passes.

I bless you, spirit, to allow yourself to be pleasantly surpised by the process of moving toward your destiny, even if the path is rough, rocky, switchbacked, or unblazed.

Spirit, beyond the work of a pioneer is the work of a trailblazer. And in order to have the skill to trailblaze, you have to have zero trail present.

I bless you with the skill to see and envision an eventual way forward with a difficult parcel of land, when no way forward immediately presents itself, and the land has its anger and quills out, with good reason.

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

Window of Reconciliation Blessings: June 2021 (Reconciling to Land) Blessing #5: Land Aspect-When You Do Not Know That the Land Is Speaking To You

by theparacleteshammer, posted in Blessings, June WOR Blessings: Reconciliation to Land

Gang, I first stepped into this work quite by accident, and then I started hearing the land speak, even when I did not have the words to describe what was going on. It was not Arthur or Megan who clued me in to the idea that land or landforms speak to us.

Rather, it was an old friend from college named Kristi, who told me and a group of then-friends that “the trees were speaking”. She was part of a ministry with which I was involved in on campus.

And so, beloved, what do you do when you think you hear the land and the trees and the mountains and the oceans speaking to you? What do you do when you fear the response of a church that may be so devoted to stoning those who hear creation speak.

Well, beloved, I invite you spirit to hear the following passage afresh and I ask your soul to step to the side as I speak to your spirit.

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

“For you shall go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and the hills before you shall break forth into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.”

Isaiah 55:12 ESV

Make a joyful noise to the Lord, ALL THE EARTH;
    break forth into joyous song and sing praises!
Sing praises to the Lord with the lyre,
    with the lyre and the sound of melody!
With trumpets and the sound of the horn
    make a joyful noise before the King, the Lord!
Let the sea roar, and all that fills it;
    the world and those who dwell in it!
Let the rivers clap their hands;
    let the hills sing for joy together

Psalm 98:5-8 ESV (emphasis mine)

The earth makes noise to the L-rd, spirit!. The various land forms speak in praise to the L-rd. And they are willing to speak to us, and hear from us. We are capable of hearing not only when the land is feeling good, but also when the land is feeling terrible and responds in reaction to the negative feeling:

“…and the land became unclean, so that I punished its iniquity, and the land vomited out its inhabitants.”

from Leviticus 18:25

“…WE KNOW THAT THE WHOLE EARTH HAS BEEN GROANING together in the pains of childbirth until now.”

from Romans 8:22 ESV (emphasis mine)

Spirit, you are not crazy. Beloved you are not crazy. That thing you are hearing may be the creation speaking.

Beloved, I bless you in your capacity to hear when the creation speaks, both when it speaks in the positive and when it speaks in the negative.

Spirit, you aree permitted to speak to the land, and you are permitted to find out solutions to the problems of why the creation is having trouble. You are permitted to be and to do and to flow in every aspect of the fullness of who G-d made you to be.

I bless you, spirit to hear the emotions of various parcels of land. I bless your discernment to increase to the place where Father wants it to be. I bless you to know what the L-rd wants you to know about the land.

I bless those who are created to be ornithologists, and park rangers, and botanists, and agcriculturalists, and horticulturalists, and farmers, and ranchers. I bless you each to flow in your design. I bless the fullness of you, spirit, to come online and express itself in zeal in the professional pursuits for which you were made.

I bless you to interact with the land, and hear the land, and to work to whatever degree you were designed to work with the land.

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