June 2023 WOR Blessing #3: Now The Serpent…

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

Beloved,

I would like to invite your spirit to connect in the name of Yeshua.

Spirit, listen to the word of El Shaddai for you for today

Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, “Indeed, has God said, ‘You shall not eat from any tree of the garden’?” 

Genesis 3:1 NAS95

Spirit, there are going to be times when you are in creation dealing with the enemy of our souls. You are likely going to hear him question your place, your love, your heart, your very design, and your purpose.

In this case, the serpent was questioning Eve’s right to stand in the place as a foxhole buddy, and a fellow warrior of her husband. And the church has been doing this for a long time.

And using hammer/bludgeon passages to silence powerful sons of the King, both male and female, when it comes to executing on their design.

Such as:

But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

1 Tim 2:12-14 KJV

As if Paul, who was taught by woman was actually stating this as carte blanche for all women in all churches.

Now, whether or not Paul was a chauvanist is not my tack on this or the other passages. My issue is one of design. Our women were made to fight, build, and lead just as much as the men.

And given that G-d made us to be compatriots, male and female, we do better when we fight together and lead together, pointing our weapons at the true enemy of our souls.

Spirit, you were made for the fight, no matter your sex. You were made for community and to lead no matter what the soul says, or the culture says, or the church culture says. And this is one issue I brook not one bit of unbiblical foolishness. The King made us to be keepers of one another. And we belong, with equal rights and equal access before the blood and the love of the Holy One of Israel.

So, I bless you, when you are on the land blessing it.

I bless you to recognize the voice of the evil one, and to respond rightly to it.

When the devil opens his mouth to speak YOU HIT HIM!!!! -E.V. Hill @ Promise Keepers-

I bless you to HIT HIM!!!! HIT HIM!!!!

I bless you spirit, to be strong, no matter what, and confident, no matter what, and to HIT THAT CLOWN WITH THE TRUTH.

I BLESS THE SHARP TWO-EDGED SWORD THAT IS IN YOUR HUSBAND’S MOUTH TO ALSO BE IN YOUR MOUTH, BRIDE!!!!

Spirit, I bless you with love and all the tenderness and confidence and affection and truth in every way, no matter what happens.

And after the enemy has fled, I bless you to hear the heart cry of the land. I bless you to hear the love of the Bridegroom your Husband to your heart, spirit. I bless you to hear His voice in the cool of the day. I bless you to abide as you hear and respond to the land. I bless you with His strength in your weakness. I bless you with divine strength in your inner man.

I bless you with love that transcends all your doubts.

I bless you with the revelation of the truth that transcends and CUTS the enemy’s nonsense.

And I bless you to be established in the Truth that is your Bridegroom and Lover and Husband…..For He is both romance and strength, truth and tenderness, cold and hot; mind, heart, and reins.

And He adores you deeply as you connect with the land.

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

The Process…..And How G-d Wounds and Heals a Marriage

by theparacleteshammer, posted in Biblical Studies/Exegesis, Covenants, Marriage, Matthew, Third Principle

Whelp, the Teacher post is again delayed….But that is okay for the moment.

If you are coming from the previous post in this chain, you will know I just dealt with the Mercy, Spider Man from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, because I love dealing with and analyzing the culture for patterns of the Redemptive Gifts.

Two cuss words ahead….

Reality…..

It’s a difficult thing to grasp….

In fullness…

Frequently, it doesn’t end the way we want it to end.

But, all our curses, and all our pain, and all our offenses, will not change a thing. Our Only one thing present can redeem us, our pain, our offenses, our curses, our janked-up lives.

The Root of Reality….

He sets the lonely in families, but he first does this by giving us battle buddies, partners, lovers, wives, husbands, brothers. Pairs. It takes a couple to make a family. And that couple started, if redemptive, by Father’s initiation, at the Bridegroom’s response, by wooing us to Himself first. And then by enabling us to see reality if we will embrace it. And that may take us embracing a great deal of pain in order to get to reality in fullness.

Families come because Father places us in proximity, and enables us to fight for one another.

And this unity starts and leads to endurance in fullness because husband and wife will fight for one another according to truth and principles. Unity can only come between husband in wife when they will fight for one another first, and then in the context of that, to fight for those given to them. If we stop being foxhole buddies reloading against the real enemy together, then we are fighting with half our fucking resources.

And I am done watching people fight with half their hands tied behind their backs.

I am done watching people insisting on a fighting with a handicap, and resisting the whole of what Father has given us.

You must fight alongside, pointing your weapons at the true enemy.

That’s reality.

Christ does not fight without his bride.

Why would we expect to be able to fight the enemy of our souls without the keeper of our hearts and lovers of our spirits?

In both of my marriages, my wives and I fought on our own.

I have spent 38 years watching couples fight one another with their earned authority or neglecting their earned authority, focusing on one another with their weapons, rather than partnering against the true enemy.

And I am done with this broken-ass paradigm.

If a marriage is to succeed fully, husband and wife must be joined as partners in the fight. Completely.

If there is a division, then that marriage will be hamstrung. Which means G-d must get us to the place of radical interdependency on one another, partnered with the Executing Spirit (whereas Defilement means “to break apart and violate principles”, Holy and Holiness means “to weave together principles to produce change”, and thus, “to execute”; G-d doesn’t just set us apart to leave us in a place, but rather sets us apart TO DO SOMETHING: it’s a number-line and a vector (direction plus motion) not a boundary line like a fence), then the threefold cord can proceed to the set of works for which we were designed.

Gang, you don’t do this without your partner. Which means G-d has to enable partnership.

Russian Epic of Cinderella……

If shoe fits, wear it….

And in this case, the shoes are the shoes from the Armor of G-d, and no they are not called the Shoes of Peace. The Shoes, which parallel the Redemptive Gift of Teacher, are called the Shoes of Readiness.

καὶ ὑποδησάμενοι τοὺς πόδας ἐν ἑτοιμασίᾳ 

And having bound on the shoes of/in readiness/equipment/preparation

Aaaaaannnnddd cue Teacher rant, because I know that gift…..

DISCLAIMER: If you think this is only directed at the Teachers, you are sorely mistaken. I only talk about the Teacher because it is the gift I love and know the best.

The Principle of Responsibility is tied to being ready and equipped and capable of handling the situations in perfection and excellence with a well-thought-out-and-well-revealed strategy from heaven that is multipronged and give consideration to a breadth of factors.

Boy Scout Motto….Be Prepared….

Deliberate, intense, thoughtful, thorough, perfect….

Take the text the knowledge and do what Del Tarr said and allow the Trinity to turn that knowledge into “KNOWLEDGE ON FIRE”.

Teachers, your job is to lead the charge on this, as did the sons of Levi did at the foot of Horeb, and put your sword to your belt and handle business. Reading the law and hoping it will deliver on the thing on which you should be acting with skill and zeal is not sufficient.

You must do that thing yourself.

And those shoes, which are part of the equipment of every believer and follower of Messiah means that each believer must also get ready and be ready.

That flows from a Gospel of Wholeness/Shalom, but the outward quality that shows itself in the EXECUTION is readiness…..and that skill must predominate between couples that are the root of a family.

And readiness is how you establish a kingdom. Are you ready to run and fight and build and move and work with what you have been given.

That is the work of sons.

And just as men can be the Bride of Messiah, women too can be sons. Congratulations, life is uncomfortable for everyone.

Matthew 24:44…

Get ready……

And now, maybe I can get to the Teacher in due course.

Blessing 18: WOR Blessing: The G-d Who Restrains Us From Battle: Deuteronomy 2:9

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:

“….do not harass Moab or contend with them in battle…”

Spirit, there are times when we wrestle with clowns and other forces of darkness.

But there are times when the L-rd has for us not to fight, but to rest and do nothing. This particular text deals with Moab, who grew to dread Israel and whose king, Balak, eventually asked Balaam to come and curse Israel. That said, the L-rd at the time He is recounting 2:9, told the Israelites not to contend with Moab.

Spirit, I beseech you to listen to the King for not only his battle plan, but also his agenda for rest and refraining from fighting.

I bless you to know that just because you see Someone who looks like an enemy does not mean that that person is an enemy. I bless you to have sharp discernment in this area. I’m blessed to know when your commander is instructing you to fight and when he is not instructing you to fight.

I bless you to see and restrain when you are instructed to restrain.

I bless you to know when to contend versus when to rest.

I bless you to know the difference between a warfare as a means of legitimacy and warfare that is strategic out of a place of humility.

I bless you to know when and with whom you should contend in a specific season.

I bless you to reject the enemy’s agenda for warfare. Especially given that clowns will keep you busy if you let them.

I bless you to relentlessly hunt for the L-rd’s agenda for warfare.

I bless you to know that G-d created literal snakes and called them good on the fifth or the sixth day. And I bless you to know that not every snake you see either in the spirit or in reality is wicked.

I bless you to know when to restrain your hand from war and when to engage in warfare.

I bless you to respond to the King’s signals and to avoid reacting to the enemy everytime they want to harass you.

I bless you to walk in self-control regardless of what may seem to be happening in your situation. And to attack as the L-rd gives you instructions or as you know you should war.

Spirit, I bless you to get comfortable with feeling out the rhythms involved in warfare.

Some you will absolutely respond to everytime.

And some you will wait for the King’s call to fight.

Be at sufficient wholeness and peace to know when you are supposed to act and when you are supposed to refrain.

In the name of Yeshua.

Amein
