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

by theparacleteshammer, posted in September Window of Reconcilaiton Blessings: Reconciliation to G-d

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.

Amein

June 2023 WOR Blessing #2: Without Form And Void

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

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.

What Is A Window of Reconciliation?

by theparacleteshammer, posted in Principles, Window of Reconciliation

Four types….Community, Land, G-d, Destiny…

Four seasons….Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter….

Four items at play….

Four occultic situations.

This is one of those items I would like to boil down into its essence and share what it looks like on Monday morning during these 20-21 day periods.

And realizing that there are times when things may differ according to the King’s or Kingdom’s needs, I would like to talk about what this tool seems to be.

There are four periods strewn, more or less equidistantly throughout the year, and when you consider the enemy uses the two equinoxes and solstices to engage with his servants in dark things, it only makes sense to reaffirm the reality….

G-d was there first.

G-d was not there attempting to respond. G-d is first and was the first before anything else was. When the enemy comes and brings something, one can almost be certain that G-d was there doing something with that time that the enemy chose to pervert, given the enemy cannot create original anything. He can only take what G-d has done and adjust, twist, move, or co-opt it. Create a version of it.

And anything other than the original version of something is what we might call a per-version. This is what is really at the root of the word “perversion”. Other than original and authentic. Synthetic. Counterfeit. Fakey.

In short, a lie.

For those that need the textual reference, read the Gospel of John, 8:44

The only thing the devil can create is ultimately a lie.

Therefore, in looking at the fact that the enemy seeks to be exalted, we look at an inverse of that.

So, in these sets of seasons, we (I and others in the body) have discovered patterns that tend to be emphasized during these seasons, patterns of behavior that happen during the equinoxes and the solstices include the reality that, because these four days are intense occult times, they involve a lot of enemy activity.

And, counter to the primary purpose of being a follower of Messiah, namely the ministry of reconciliation, the enemy seeks alienation on a massive scale. Alienation within a person, alienation between a person and those most life-giving sources in their life, and alienation most ultimately between a person and his or her Maker.

That is, the enemy wants to break us away from those things G-d intended to be major parts of our constellation. Our communities seem to get assaulted in March. Our connection to land in June. Our connection to G-d in September. Our connection to our destiny in December.

So, given that understanding, we find the inverse also to be true. What the enemy meant for evil, G-d means for good.

So, then, these windows, fitting seasons, opportunities, these καιρὸς moments are meant to not only be seasons for stabilizing us in the midst of these four elements, they are also meant for us to get some incredible mileage and forays into the enemy’s camp to recover things taken from us.

I recovered three critical relationships during the March WOR, to cite one example.

And, last September, through the impact of one of my close friends, I was able to connect for the first time in my life with the Father Himself. Not the Father through Yeshua, but Abba, unmediated.

So, I have seen the impact of these seasons in my own life repeatedly.

And so, around these times of year, I like to construct blessings for either the aspect of the window, or for the spirits of those humans going to wrestle with these dynamics in their given locations, cities, places in the Kingdom of G-d, or birthrights.

Gang, this is a precious thing.

What the enemy does, the L-rd wants to completely partner with us as sons and as brides to not only undo with the opposite spirit, but to also completely supplant and replace that weed with the plant of His original choosing and design.

Just some thoughts here as we embrace this.

For further reading on this topic, see the following article from Sapphire Leadership Group pertaining to March’s WOR.

Do You? Will You? May We? I Want It This Way But Not With This Set of Implications?

by theparacleteshammer, posted in Principles

Perception equals reality

A great lie.

When we ask questions of others, and we have the opportunity to engage in something we desire, we have then been given two things. Resources, if you will.

Rights plus responsibilities.

We do not celebrate Christmas, and this may or may not create friction with others, because there are expectations, some twisted, that frequently attend the celebration of that day.

Expectations of stuff. Expectations of purchasing on borrowed money. Expectations of rolling with a yearly pressure that may be tied to celebrating the birth of the King, or not.

That said, we as a family usually go and watch a movie. This is something that has its roots in my first marriage but makes a lot of sense. And frequently, those movies are times where the L-rd sits with me in the movie theater and talks to me about what is playing.

And I frequently see principles in said film.

This year we were delayed in seeing the film, and we finally got to see our chosen movie yesterday.

And as a huge Marvel fan, we saw Spider-Man: No Way Home.

And in this film, Peter has dealt with the reality that his secret identity has now become revealed to all. And in frustration, he visits a friend, Steven Strange, in order to ask him to make reality such that people forget who he is. During Strange’s incantation, Peter begins asking him to make exceptions, and provisos, and the balance of the movie is then given to the mess that comes from Peter wanting reality his way.

He wants the rights without the responsibilities and he continually messes things up, which then ultimately leads to a near-destruction of reality. On the way, his Aunt May dies. And other villains from previous realities come to mess with the natural order of things.

And the only way he can fix the mess is by accepting reality the way it is. And enabling Strange to cast the incantation that causes everyone including, his loved ones, to forget who he is

Gang, we have been given a reality and a set of causes that mesh together with a set of effects.

And that reality, when we don’t opt out of the whole of it, can be beautiful, though difficult.

But it is far worse to want some of reality and ignore the rest. That twists reality into something that it wasn’t made to be.

When we do that selective appropriation of reality, we avoid the problems G-d intended us to wrestle with.

And we avoid the following two passages.

“Count it all joy when you face trials of many kinds.”

“You meant it for harm, but G-d meant it for good.”

G-d, in bringing us to growth, leads us through trials and hands us problems to solve.

And He may or may not force the issue.

The issue is, when we ask Him for a chunk of reality that includes hla major blessings, are we willing to cultivate the skills necessary to scramble over and around and by that set of rocks in order to possess all He has for us in terms of blessing.

We may not fully appreciate the blessing until we have been given the curse to wrestle with.

Now, be careful when you read what I write. By “curse” I don’t mean G-d literally curses us. By “curse” I mean “problem to solve”.

Now, why did I use the word “curse”?

Two reasons. One, because the poetic nature of the way “curse” pairs with blessing.

Two, because too frequently, WE CURSE the difficult or inconvenient problem G-d gives us to solve, because He treats us as sons.

Slaves do not get problems to solve. Sons, rather, are they who get the problems to solve.

So, take heart, love. Because if you are getting problems when you pray, it is likely because G-d is trusting you as a son.

Be at peace, and if you need to solve a nettlesome problem, please feel free to reach out. I and others, as fellow sons, can help you to solve that problem.

G-d wants to bless you, but in order to do it, He has to calibrate you in order to equip you to solve problems.

Blessing 16: WOR Blessing: Distinguishing Your Provision From Anothers

by theparacleteshammer, posted in Blessings, Principles, September Window of Reconcilaiton Blessings: Reconciliation to G-d

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

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

Do not contend with them, for I will not give you any of their land, no, not so much as for the sole of the foot to tread on, because I have given Mount Seir to Esau as a possession. You shall purchase food from them with money, that you may eat, and you shall also buy water from them with money, that you may drink.

Deuteronomy 2:5-6 ESV

Spirit, not all of the resources you see are yours.

Some resources and wealth G-d has provided to others.

And as difficult as that may be, it is a lesson in discernment and Stewardship.

G-d places certain bits of land in our midst because He is giving that land to us in order to manage.

And sometimes He places certain peoples in our midst in order to provide food or sustenance to us.

Spirit, you will meet people that have a bit of land and resources and you will have to learn the lesson of discerning when the land is your portion and when other aspects are your portion.

G-d gives us certain provisions, He writes us specific checks from specific checkbooks.

And not everything we see is automatically going to get credited to our accounts.

And One of the sharpest most perceptive lessons we can learn is the lesson of discernment between our resources and the resources of another. And we also must learn how to protect not only our resources but also the resources of another. Because when we protect the resources of another, we are shown to be trustworthy and faithful stewards which means we can be trusted with other things as well.

So, spirit, I bless you to lead in the discernment arena.

I bless you to have a strong and clear voice in the area of what belongs to your host versus what does not.

I bless you to be content with your portion.

I bless you to see the resources being provided you, and O bless you to coach the soul in the appropriate direction in which to set his or her desires.

I bless you to cultivate and lead the soul and body with a strong awareness of the Tenth Commandment, and to coach them in parsing between what G-d has given Soul and Body versus what G-d has given another.

I bless you, spirit to say “no” when “no” is right and good.

And I bless you to say “yes” when “yes” is right and good.

I bless you with revelation of reality pertaining to your resources. And I bless you with skill to utilize the resources that are you.

Be at peace with that revelation, spirit, in the name of Yeshua.

Amein.

Blessing 15: WOR Blessing: Reconciling To G-d: The Provider In the Wilderness

by theparacleteshammer, posted in Blessings, Principles, September Window of Reconcilaiton Blessings: Reconciliation to G-d

Beloved, I invite your spirit forward.

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

For the L-RD your G-d has blessed you in all the work of your hands. He knows your going through this great wilderness. These forty years the L-RD your G-d has been with you. You have lacked nothing

Deuteronomy 2:7

Spirit, there are a number of things to consider while you are in the wilderness. Where you are, the Father is. Where you are with your need, the Father is there to meet your need.

The problem begins, however, when you believe the resources are not there to meet your need, or you believe Items A through G are the only legitimate resources and provisions, when Father has provided you A through ZZ.

Spirit, out of the gate, I am not just merely going to bless you with a pleasant “there there, it’s alright”….

Right now, spirit, I am going to bless you with eye sight and eye salve, if necessary, to see properly, and maybe so also that scales might fall from your eyes so you can see broader, deeper, higher, or more profusely that you currently see.

I bless you with the Mercy Season need to see the blindness, poverty, misery, wretchedness, nakedness you formerly accepted as your portion,

And I bless you to buy refined gold and linen garments that are needful for this season.

I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see.

Revelation 3:18 ESV

I bless you to look around and see options you are allowing others to blind you to.

I bless you to know more deeply His polyvareigated wisdom and understanding that you might accrue the full compliment of wisdom you need.

I bless you to break off any self-imposed blindness, or self-imposed affliction, or any self-inflicted punishments.

I bless you to see and fight the Third Head of Leviathan. And I bless you to know Father as the Ancient of Days who will help uncoil the twisted and prematurely decaying view of Life you might currently be accepting as your portion.

I bless you to shoe your feet, not with the Shoes of Peace, because those are not the correct shoes for the Teacher, but the Shoes of READINESS.

“Having shod your feet with READINESS” -from Ephesians 6-

“Therefore, get READY” -from Matthew 24:44-

You were not made to get peaceful with that spirit of heaviness that masquerades as peace, but you were made to put your shoes on to get ready for the excursion.

I bless you with the proper alignment to see your shoes in the spirit, and to align footwear to readiness for task.

I realize this dynamic will cut against the grain of much of the teaching on the shoes of the Armor of G-d, but my job is to present you with what you have.

The dynamic of peace is associated with the Gospel.

The dynamic of readiness is associated with the Shoes.

As you Prepare for fulfill your Responsibilities (Principle for the Teacher).

Spirit, I bless your feet, ready and beautiful as they are.….

I bless your awareness of your resources and tools to increase.

And I bless you to plug into the One Who Prepares you for Life in the Wilderness.

And I bless your shoes not to wear out, and I bless you to grasp the manna that is necessary for this season of life in the wilderness. I bless the canvas of your tent to be fresh and strong and without mold.

I bless your eyesight to seek for fresh and daily bread.

And I bless you to reconcile with the Provider.

I bless you to check the balance sheets to take a full account of available resources.

Number the people, spirit. For Son you are.

Be at peace, that is, wholeness.

And get Ready, spirit…

With all my pastoral love and affection…

Amein

Blessing 9: WOR September Blessings: Reconciled to G-d: Names of G-d: The G-d Whom Moves Us From Season To Season

by theparacleteshammer, posted in Principles, September Window of Reconcilaiton Blessings: Reconciliation to G-d

Beloved, I would like to speak to your spirit,

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

It is eleven days’ journey from Horeb by the way of Mount Seir to Kadesh-barnea. The L-rd our G-d said to us in Horeb, ‘You have stayed long enough at this mountain.”

Deuteronomy 1:2, 6 ESV

“And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.”

Hebrews 11:6 ESV

Spirit, there are season where we move, and seasons where G-d moves.

There are also seasons where, as Smith Wigglesworth once said, “If G-d doesn’t move me, I move Him.” So, seasons of a push/pull with G-d.

And then there are seasons where G-d instructs us to move. And it may come to if we don’t move, He will move us.

In one such situation, I have a friend who did not want to take a new job with his company in a different city. His boss presented the opportunity and asked “who is moving from this place to the new branch office? He did not want to move. But his spirit, who knew it was a better opportunity and, as my friend retells the situation, he heard a voice inside himself say “sign me up.”

At which point, the transition began.

Now, spirit, faith expresses itself in a number of ways. In some cases, G-d looks for us to allow Him to move. And at other times, He looks for us to move, and still other times, He looks to partner with us as we move together. But the bottom line is that faith, to be living, necessitates some kind of movement that increases the Kingdom on at least some level.

The Kingdom is populated by sons who build.. and that building isn’t done in one simple way in one simple process. It is creative and unique and not always initiated by the same catalyst.

And for those who got hung up on the “sons” populating the kingdom and not daughters, I will say this. If I as a man can handle being called a Bride of Messiah, you as a woman can handle being called a Som of G-d.

Congratulations, life is uncomfortable for everyone.

Now, back to blessing your spirit.

Spirit, there are coming times when you will hear the voice of the L-rd tell you: it’s time to make the transition.

And not all transitions will look the same. Some transitions will be initiated by you (as in the very initiative-taking behavior of the Daughters of in Numbers 36), and some by the King (who said, “separate for me Saul and Barnabas”), and yet again, some by a partnership.

There are no sausage factories in the Kingdom.

We will have a series of situations where different types of movement in the spiritual realm will happen.

And we need to observe the sorts of movements necessary.

“You have spent too much time in this place.”

“Ten generations is long enough for your family in this county and states and nation.”

“That town has been a boat anchor around your legs for long enough. Leave.”

“You need to leave to put some geographic distance between yourself and that toxic family member.”

“Time for you to move.”

“Why don’t you take that new job?” (not a command, but a playful remark aimed at upping your curiosity at a situation).

Fill in the blank.

Spirit, there are going to be new seasons where you need to change your location at the prompting of the L-rd because His grace for a location has lifted.

And it’s not something you can explain to anyone. And if you tried explaining, they’d call you crazy.

So, spirit, I bless you to hear the L-rd when he speaks about transitions. When He speaks and says, “enough time dwelling here. Turn northward.”, I bless you with not only the skill to hear, but also the strength of will to follow through.

Moving can be incredibly destabilizing. But it is sometimes necessary to refresh a life.

I bless your move to be smooth-flowing and as you arrive at the new place made for you, I bless you to put down deep roots. I encourage you to not remain in a constant state of transition. Between transitions, each season is best marked by deepening roots.

I bless the transition to be nimble.

I also bless your desire to be in the new place to grow and increase so that you do not get comfortable with either Egyptian slavery or the arid wilderness.

I bless the home you are selling to look to the King for its life, and to not latch onto you or anyone or something anything else as its hope or promise of hope.

I bless you to know where G-d designed for you and to move in the direction of a place that will feel like HOME to you.

I bless your desires, spirit, for you to be able to articulate those desires, and for G-d to partner with you to give you a home that aligns with your desires and His desires.

I bless you that when you are transitioning to your new homestead, that you will see the land for what it is. Not merely a physician set of resources and assets to be looted and pillaged or used, but as a valuable place that exists in the spirit and impacts and is impacted by, the spiritual realm.

I bless you to see and perceive what the L-rd wants you to know about the place where you live.

And I bless you to steward that place effectively with an eye in the spirit to what is happening to your land beyond just what you see.

I bless you to make the transitions out of the desert and to move when the King tells you to move.

I bless that communication to be open and free, and I bless you to arrive at your desired haven and safe place.

I bless that series of transitions under the hand of the G-d Who Moves Your From Season To Season.

I bless you with those realities, in the name of Yeshua.

Amein

Blessing 7: Window of Reconciliation: Reconciled to G-d

by theparacleteshammer, posted in Filial vs. Bridal, September Window of Reconcilaiton Blessings: Reconciliation to G-d

Beloved,

I invite your spirit to connect with me no matter their state, in the name of Yeshua.

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

Afterward Moses and Aaron went and said to Pharaoh, “Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, ‘Let my people go, that they may hold a feast to me in the wilderness.’” But Pharaoh said, “Who is the LORD, that I should obey his voice and let Israel go? I do not know the LORD, and moreover, I will not let Israel go.” Then they said, “The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Please let us go a three days’ journey into the wilderness that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God, lest he fall upon us with pestilence or with the sword.” But the king of Egypt said to them, “Moses and Aaron, why do you take the people away from their work? Get back to your burdens.” And Pharaoh said, “Behold, the people of the land are now many, and you make them rest from their burdens!” The same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people and their foremen, “You shall no longer give the people straw to make bricks, as in the past; let them go and gather straw for themselves. But the number of bricks that they made in the past you shall impose on them, you shall by no means reduce it, for they are idle. Therefore they cry, ‘Let us go and offer sacrifice to our God.’ Let heavier work be laid on the men that they may labor at it and pay no regard to lying words.”

So the taskmasters and the foremen of the people went out and said to the people, “Thus says Pharaoh, ‘I will not give you straw. Go and get your straw yourselves wherever you can find it, but your work will not be reduced in the least.’” So the people were scattered throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw. The taskmasters were urgent, saying, “Complete your work, your daily task each day, as when there was straw.” And the foremen of the people of Israel, whom Pharaoh’s taskmasters had set over them, were beaten and were asked, “Why have you not done all your task of making bricks today and yesterday, as in the past?”

Then the foremen of the people of Israel came and cried to Pharaoh, “Why do you treat your servants like this? No straw is given to your servants, yet they say to us, ‘Make bricks!’ And behold, your servants are beaten; but the fault is in your own people.” But he said, “You are idle, you are idle; that is why you say, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to the LORD.’ Go now and work. No straw will be given you, but you must still deliver the same number of bricks.” The foremen of the people of Israel saw that they were in trouble when they said, “You shall by no means reduce your number of bricks, your daily task each day.” They met Moses and Aaron, who were waiting for them, as they came out from Pharaoh; and they said to them, “The LORD look on you and judge, because you have made us stink in the sight of Pharaoh and his servants, and have put a sword in their hand to kill us.”

Then Moses turned to the LORD and said, “O Lord, why have you done evil to this people? Why did you ever send me? For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in your name, he has done evil to this people, and you have not delivered your people at all.”

But the LORD said to Moses, “Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh; for with a strong hand he will send them out, and with a strong hand he will drive them out of his land.”

God spoke to Moses and said to him, “I am the LORD. I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty, but by my name the LORD I did not make myself known to them. I also established my covenant with them to give them the land of Canaan, the land in which they lived as sojourners. Moreover, I have heard the groaning of the people of Israel whom the Egyptians hold as slaves, and I have remembered my covenant. Say therefore to the people of Israel, ‘I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you from slavery to them, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great acts of judgment. I will take you to be my people, and I will be your God, and you shall know that I am the LORD your God, who has brought you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. I will bring you into the land that I swore to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. I will give it to you for a possession. I am the LORD.’” Moses spoke thus to the people of Israel, but they did not listen to Moses, because of their broken spirit and harsh slavery.”

Exodus 5:1-6:9 ESV

Spirit, He is the G-d Over The Brickyard, Who Prioritizes Freedom Over Labor Relations. Sit with that reality for a few minutes, spirit. For this May be an unpopular idea at the moment. And there while there are times when the L-rd will sort out what is happening in the brickyard and the field and on the job site and between disparate people, G-d has a strong and vested interest in liberty and if trying to make things easier and more comfortable in the brickyard makes us more comfortable with slavery and less comfortable with the risk associated with freedom, G-d will almost certainly always ignore the brickyard to prime us to be ready to walk in freedom as we grow out of slavery and into sonship.

So, spirit, I bless you to writhe at and be revulsed at the mere though of more bondage.

I bless you to wrestle with and for your liberation from captivity.

I bless you to rest in the strong plans of the G-d of the Brickyard. I bless you to grow dissatisfied with your current state of being, and to increase in your place of design. Spirit, you were made for liberty. You were not designed for the brickyard.

I bless you to endure being refined and proven and tested in the crucible for a fight that awaits a future date.

I bless your capacity to endure hardship and to handle being placed for a season under harsh leadership as you grow with a deeper vision against the day of your release.

I bless you as you are feeling pain and heartache that that pain would not be in vain and the enemy would suffer casualties as a result of your endurance. I bless you, spirit, to grow in “integrity of heart and skillful hands” both as you are working through hard seasons in the brickyards.

I bless you to find rest in The Anchor’s stability.

I bless you to hear my out clarity the voice of the G-d of the Brickyard and to allow Him to set your eyes where they need to be.

I bless your seasons to be fruitful, and I bless you to be a damaging source for the enemy and a thorn in his side even as G-d is growing you.

I bless you to not waste a moment of your days, even in your sleep.

I also bless you to be a knife and a sword and a catapult in the hands of the L-rd as He uses you as a peculiar weapon in His hands with which to harass the enemy.

I bless you to hold the line and stay the course.

I bless you with that reality and set of revelations, in the name of Yeshua.

Amein.

Blessing 5: Window of Reconciliation: Reconciled to G-d: September 2021

by theparacleteshammer, posted in Principles, September Window of Reconcilaiton Blessings: Reconciliation to G-d

Beloved, I would like to invite your spirit forward to connect with me.

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

Shall not the Judge of all the Earth do what is just?

From Genesis 18:25

Spirit, this post is about one of the names of G-d.

That name, “the Judge of all the Earth”, describes G-d in the process of weighing a group of cities for judgment, which simply means “decision”.

And further, Spirit, He is not merely the Judge of one person or people group or one chunk of land. Rather He is the Judge of ALL THE EARTH.

This story of Sodom and Gomorrah and the rest of the cities in the plane was a story about deciding the fate of a piece of land due to, not just the people crying out, but also the land crying out as an entity itself against the distressing injustice occurring within its borders.

G-d can be counted on to hear and handle unjust situations.

He will respond to those who are mistreating others.

He will hear the outcry of victims of all kinds of violence.

He will act and judge and decide switfly when violence happens to his kids.

So, spirit, I bless you to rest in the king’s judgment, and to depend on Him to act with justice.

His idea of justice May differ from you idea of justice, but He will act.

I bless you to trust the King is not slack concerning His promises to act.

I bless you to let go of your ideas of justice and to take on the King’s ideas of justice.

I bless you to rest and observe when a case is taken up by the Judge. I bless you to get curious as to how the Judge handles cases of injustice. And I bless you to watch when justice is rendered in a case that is not yours.

I bless you to not fall apart when the Judge renders a verdict that does not align with your idea of justice.

I bless you to get to know the love of the Judge for you. And I bless you to feel and know the love and affection of the Judge for the land.

I bless you to hear His voice and to see the memos and papers getting marked and the court orders getting signed.

I bless you, spirit, to help others see the Judge’s process of justice.

I bless you to rest on the earth as the Judge metes out His ruling which will affect not only people, but also chunks of land.

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

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.
