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

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 14: September WOR Blessing: Psalm 42:10

Beloved,

I invite your spirit forward to treat with me, regardless of what status it or they are in.

Spirit, I recognize the pain of assault and the trouble that comes when you are traumatized, and the shattering of the human spirit that takes place when ritual abuse occurs.

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

Be still and know I am G-d

Psalm 46:10

Spirit, there is a place following the trauma of a harsh season or following mistreatment of harsh leaders.

G-d can and often might place us in proximity to harsh leaders.

Note what I said versus what I did not say.

Consider the following also, spirit

Although he was a son, he learned obedience by the things he suffered.

Hebrews 5:8 ESV

There may be times when G-d allows you to connect with harsh leaders in order to refine you.

I don’t guarantee it will happen. In fact I hope it doesn’t happen. But in case you end up dealing with a difficult or harsh leader, I want you to remember one thing in the still place following mistreatment.

He is G-d. And He will coach you in very difficult times.

You will also note I did not say G-d sets us under harsh people in order that they would abuse us.

Abuse happens, but I don’t see it as from the hand of G-d. I do however see our response as capable of coming from the hand of G-d.

I bless you following a difficult situation to get really still and to occupy the still place and to lean into the King deeply.

I bless you to walk in stillness and to take advantage of that stillness in order to receive deep clarity.

I bless you in that season to find out how Father wants you to respond and to deeply know Him in intimacy.

I bless you to find deeper intimacy regardless of the current pain.

I bless you to speak to Yeshua, who is capable of taking all pain. I bless each of you, parts, to just be and to appropriate whatever of King’s love in whatever manner you deem necessary.

I bless your enforcers in their anger to express that anger and frustration and to ask the questions they need to ask. This is a safe space for them.

I bless you to know what is meant by fellowshipping with the King in His sufferings.

I bless you to participate with Him in a deep and satisfying connection.

And most importantly, I bless you to, in the still place, for your parts that which to occupy that space, to occupy that space in time and to fill that space with the knowledge of Him.

I bless you with dignity and grace and love and affection and wholeness.

And above all, I bless you, spirit, and relevant parts to know you belong.

You belong, dear heart.

In stillness, you belong.

I bless you to know Him as G-d, spirit, in the name of Yeshua.

So be it.

WOR Blessing: Reconciled to G-d: Blessing 13: G-d of Plan B

Okay, soul, based on how some of y’all have read that title and gotten offended, with the logical argument that G-d doesn’t have a plan B.

Soul, this blessing is not for you. This blessing is for the spirit.

So beloved soul, I need you to move to the side for a season, so I can speak to the spirit.

Spirit, I bless you to lean forward, but only as closely as you can wish, understanding that some might not feel safe.

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

Then the Amorites who lived in that hill country came out against you and chased you as bees do and beat you down in Seir as far as Hormah. And you returned and wept before the L-RD, but the L-RD did not listen to your voice or give ear to you. So you remained at Kadesh many days, the days that you remained there.

Then we turned and journeyed into the wilderness in the direction of the Red Sea, as the L-RD told me. And for many days we traveled around Mount Seir. Then the L-RD said to me, ‘You have been traveling around this mountain country long enough. Turn northward”

Deuteronomy 1:44–2:3 ESV

Spirit, I want you to be aware of G-d’e contingency plan for when things get messed up. I want you to know it is not a plan for which He is settling or toward which His apathy is being expressed.

G-d doesn’t always get what He wants, because we have free will.

But there is still a redemptive purpose for each season if we will hunt for it.

And, spirit, when we mess up, we need to know that there is still a redemptive plan in the works for us. And that plan is something Y-d wishes to work out.

For Israel, due to their Av 9 rebellion (Numbers 13), they had to pursue a new path. And in that path, G-d engaged in redemption of a nation of doves, raising up a nation of sons from that nation of slaves.

So, spirit, I engage with you in order to encourage you to pursue what the L-rd’s current path for you. I bless you to see the plan in front of you. I bless you with faith for the wilderness if you find yourself there.

I bless you to hear the voice of the G-d of Plan B. The plan that manifests as a result of circumstances that may have derived from your choices, but is no less redemptive.

I bless you to wrestle with reality and to hear from the King’s gentle whisper in the midst of your broom tree encounter. I bless you to anoint the people you need to anoint even when you are struggling with depression or anger or PTSD or parts or whatever the case.

I bless you to move into the new season.

For whatever circumstances in which you find yourself, the Father can redeem those.

For it is impossible for G-d to not redeem and reconcile.

I bless you to find the streams in the desert as you find yourself in a different season.

I bless you with the reality that, even though G-d doesn’t always get what He wants, eventually those circumstances will be caused to work together by Him for your good.

Even the wilderness and the desert and the dry places are your reality, spirit, G-d will lead you through that season to a place of fruitfulness.

Spirit, be at peace and be free to connect with the L-rd. Be at peace to connect with Him at Mount Seir. And be at peace to hear Him when it is time to leave the mountain when He says to.

I bless you in the midst of the new season to embrace the G-d who provides you contingencies and will ultimately get you the resources He has for you, the provision that is for the vision He gives you.

I also bless you to release the old season when it is no longer reality.

And to step into the new season when that is now where you are.

I bless your timestream to flow in accordance with Father’s design regardless of the transitions.

And I bless you to see that, just because the assignment has changed or been modified, your design does not change.

I bless you with stability in the midst of an otherwise destabilizing season that arrives as a result of your choices or the choices of others.

I bless you with the grace necessary to be fruitful in the middle of a new season.

And I bless you to keep moving forward even when things do not go the way you thought they would or should.

And I bless you with peace according to the season’s need.

Spirit, be blessed and keep moving forward, in the name of Yeshua.

Amein.

Blessing 12: September WOR Blessing: Deuteronomy 1:25

Beloved, I invite your spirit forward.

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

And they took in their hands some of the fruit of the land and brought it down to us, and brought us word again and said, “It is a good land that the L-RD our G-d is giving us.”

Deuteronomy 1:25

A good land, given us….

Spirit, you were made for good land. You were not made for sin or made as a foul, reprobate, worm, bastard sinner.

You were made for the good land and the good land was made to be given you. G-d does not make us and never designed us for the place of suffering that is the lake of fire.

The lake of fire, rather, was prepared for the devil and his messengers.

Spirit, you, On the other hand, or made for a land that is FLOWING with milk and honey. A land in a place of abundance and provision.

Spirit, I resist utterly the idea that we are supposed to castigate ourselves for the entire tea of our lives. no no no no no no no. We were made for birthright and for destiny and for love and for purpose and for peace and for joy and for kindness and for goodness by an eminently faithful King.

You are to be reconciled to this Gift-Giver who affectionately thinks of you, toward you, and is for you.

So, spirit, I so deeply bless you with the revealing that the Father is the Giver. He is neither a taker of gifts or a stripper of callings. Those gifts and those callings are irrevocable. You were made to walk in them, and for them not to be stripped and given and stripped and given.

I bless you with love.

I bless you to know and be reconciled, for that is the MAIN REASON why Christ Jesus died. Not for mere fire insurance, but for deep reconciliation.

So we could experience the transition from summer to autumn and the beauty and the color change of the leaves, and his abundant provision in 1000 different facets.

I bless you with maple sap from sugar maples.

And long, powerful, spotted giraffe necks.

And the nasal, tooting “Kent”call of the Ivory-Billed Woodpecker.

And the plush feel of St. Augustine grass.

And the aroma of coconuts.

And the scent of orange blossoms.

And the zest of Lemons.

And the laughter of babies.

And the wood of dogs.

And the fullness of your birthright.

All of which was given by a good, good Father.

Who creates and creates in abundance, just so she could “lead captivity captive and give gifts to men”.

Ladies that includes you as well. Spirit, that’s for the masculine as well as the feminine. For if I can be called the bride of Christ, then you can be called the son of God. Congratulations, life is uncomfortable for everyone. 🙂

Spirit, I bless you to know the generosity of a Father who yearns for deep reconciliation with you, even as bad as you might think you are. For he still made you and called you good.

I bless you to be reconciled with the reality that you are worth giving a good gift. And you are worth Jesus dying so that you could have a good gift. And not just one good gift: many besides.

I bless you deeply with that revelation in tenderness, kindness, compassion, and love.

Be blessed with the steadfast love of that revelation.

I bless you in the name of Yeshua.

Amein.

Underselling and Undercutting Item 2 In the Fractal of 7: Part 2 And Window of Reconciliation Blessing: Blessing 10: Names of G-d: The Reasoner Concerning Your Sin

The Bronze Laver and the Waters/Waters and the Expanse/Dome of the Shamayim were made for cleansing……

And we tell ourselves, “I am just a sinner and my righteousness is as filthy rags”.

I understand when a pre-believer says this.

But when a son of G-d says this, when a follower of the L-rd says this…I begin to take issue.

When a bride of Christ calls themselves a harlot, even after His cleansing, Living Water, Fuller’s Soap and Refining Fire have burned up all the actual filthy rags, it does not befit the Kingdom of G-d for you His son to pick up blood-soaked rags and dress yourself afresh in them.

As if you forgot that He C.L.E.A.N.S.E.D. you Seven ways to Saturday.

Beloved, this one time, I call your spirit to attention in the name of Yeshua.

Spirit, Listen to the Word of G-d for you for today:

Come now and let us reason TOGETHER

Though your sins are as scarlet

They SHALL be WHITE AS SNOW

Isaiah 1:18

Spirit, G-d is the One Who Reasons TOGETHER with you.

With you on His lap and He looking directly on you as you are awash in His presence.

I want this reality to soak into your very fiber, dear heart.

You are loved and yearned for and desires and enough.

And the Bronze Laver is part of the reality, as is the Second Day. And those items will never and can never be unmade as part of the fractal.

Spirit, you can let go of the castigation of yourself.

Jesus loves you, this I know….

Spirit, you were always enough.

The L-rd, the Reasoner Concerning Your Sin, who does not fly off the handle at your sin, and heals your heart so that your heart can testify that the Bridegroom is steadfastly faithful in all things….

THAT L-RD bless you with the depths of reality that is deeper than your kiddie-pool shallower than a puddle sin when compared to His Reality…

Hear the Word of the L-rd resonate in the courts of Your Seat of Dominion

For this reason I bow the knee….

Before the Father

That Messiah May dwell in your hearts (plural) through faith

Your three hearts….

The Brain

The Heart

The Reins, being the Kidneys and Adrenals

That you being rooted and grounded in the soul of his love

May have power to comprehend together with all of the saints, what is…

The length…

And the breadth…

And the height…

And the depth…

And to KNOW that which is deeper and higher and broader and wider and longer than all that may be known….

Now, unto him who IS ABLE TO KEEP you from stumbling….

And present you faultless….

Before the presence of His Glory…

With Exceeding Joy…..

To the Only Wise G-d Our Father….

Be Glory….

And Majesty….

Dominion…

And Power…

Both now and forverermore….

Spirit, I bless you with a depth in Him that UNANCHORS the knowledge of the exceeding sinfulness of your sin

And roots and anchors you in the deeper, yea, infinite depths of His lovingkindness and tender mercies….

I bless you to be reconciled with a depth of perspective that causes you to see His reason for why you are cleansed beyond belief and why you ARE whiter than snow…

I bless you to receive the depth of His heart-filled-emotion-filled-solid-as-a-rock-emotion-laden reasoning…

I bless you to see His capacity and willingness to handle your debts….all of them…

And I bless you to recover the lost wages those clowns stole with penalties and interest…

I bless you that you will be filled and fulfilled with HOLY righteousness THAT WEAVES TOGETHER PRINCIPLES the weaving together of which sanctifies you to your birthright, which is the promise of His vow to those who hunger and thirst after righteousness….

I bless you to be reconciled to a King that wants to lavish His full affection on you, though you think you are a sinner…..

I bless you with the Light of His countenance, that He May give you wholeness, spirit….

I bless you, spirit, to know that the Bronze Laver is irrevocable to the Second Level, and G-d WILL NEVER TAKE IT AWAY. It is impossible for G-d to remove His mechanism which Cleanses, because He cannot help but cleanse things.

He is around, and things in His presence begin to be cleansed because of who He is. He will clean you if you let him.

Amein

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

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 8: WOR September Blessings: Reconciled to G-d

Beloved, I invite your spirit to commune with me for a few minutes.

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

and in the wilderness, where you have seen how the L-RD your G-d carried you, as a man carries his son, all the way that you went until you came to this place.

Deuteronomy 1:31 ESV

Spirit, the end of the season in the wilderness, and just before they entered the promised land, the generation of Israel was getting used to the idea that G-d had raised them up and viewed them as sons.

He did not view them as slaves.

And likewise, under the New Covenant, WE ARE NOT SLAVES.

I am going to say it a different way.

If you refer to yourself as a slave under the New Covenant, which is better than the Old Covenant, you are doing it wrong.

Spirit, you cannot partake of fullness if you adopt the mentality you are a slave or even only or primarily a servant.

Slaves do not have a birthright or access to an inheritance. On the other hand, sons do.

Spirit, if Jesus views you as a son, you are a son. And I bless you with this deep revelation that you are a son.

Soul, if Jesus views you as a son or a friend and you view yourself as a servant, one of you is wrong, and it won’t be Jesus.

Soul, listen to the spirit who will tell you what you are.

Spirit, it might require seasons of fighting and warring against dumb and religious mentalities, and just because Paul called himself something or described himself as something does not serve as an indicator you are supposed to call yourself the same thing, especially if your mindset is currently bastard worm who is barely even saved.

Paul’s mindset was transformed from the murderer who thought more highly of himself than he ought, to a better perspective RELEVANT to him.

And just because Scripture DESCRIBES something does not mean it PRESCRIBES IT for everyone that reads it.

Rather, our job is to take on the mindset of Jesus who WAS A SON. Sure there was an element of humility, however, that wasn’t the only or first mindset that He had.

As the Son of G-d.

We are often coached through a sausage factory that we are responsible to blast ourselves and not allow ourselves to be raised up to be seated in the heavenly places as the sons that we areS

“No longer do I call you servants, but rather friends.”

You cannot carry, in a healthy manner, the mindset of being a son, unless you are willing to receive ALL aspects of who you are. Son. Friend, brother, fill-in-the-blank.

If you try to carry the mindset of a servant and you abandon the reality and mindset of a son or a friend, for which reconciliation Jesus died that you would be called friends and sons (John 1:12) then you will grow toxic as you work to earn his love.

And as sonship come through suffering with Hom, Spirit, I bless you in a few ways.

I bless you to allow Father to carry you when you are weak.

I bless you to walk in the revelation that you are a son and a friend of the King.

I bless you to hear the voice of this Friend while you work, while you do chores, while you are will the your friends and children, and while you are with your animals

I bless you to hear and receive his affection even in the wilderness.

I bless you to resist only carrying the mindset of a servant and not also carrying the mindset of friend and son.

I bless you to see sons and friends around you.

I bless you with deep compassion and affection.

And bless you to deeply understand and seek for what your King and Father are doing.

I bless you to ask questions.

I bless you to build and I bless you to feel the freedom necessary to build creatively.

I bless you to fight the mindset that you are only a servant or a slave.

I bless you to see what He is doing in and with you and I bless you to see more than you have ever seen before.

I bless you to know not just his majestic voice, but also his still small voice, the quiet and intimate whisper of a friend, and also his friendly voice, that voice that jokes and kids around and tells you stories.

I bless you with the freedom that, even though the L-rd knows what you are going to say before you say it, that you feel freedom to share stores that make you come alive, spirit.

I bless you with deep compassion and zeal for the things He made you to do.

I bless your unique design that is not subject to be conformed to any other man’s ideas or will.

I bless you, spirit, with a full compliment of expressions tied to your design.

I bless you with the revelation that even though you have a different deisgn, the L-RD made you and KNOWS the full measure of your design.

I bless your skill in acquiring new tools that the institutional church may not have vetted, but tools that the King has vetted.

I bless you to see creation in places where you first did not realize creation was there.

I bless you, spirit, to flow deeply as a son.

In the name of Yeshua.

Amein.

Blessing 7: Window of Reconciliation: Reconciled 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.

Windows of Reconciliation, What Are They?

The Autumnal Equinox….

I used to dread this time of year since graduating high school because, and especially in the last decade, the attacks of spirits of witchcraft were exceptionally high.

I am connected with some family members that were married to practicing witches who engaged in blood sacrifices around this time of year.

I work with former victims of SRA (Satanic Ritual Abuse), and those victims have regularly reported parts of their spirit and soul—

SIDEBAR: WHAT IS A PART VERSUS A PORTION

I should back up for a moment and explain the difference between “a part” versus “a portion”, given those of us in the DID/SRA community work with a common framework and language.

In the arena of Dissociative Identity Disorder, “parts” are distinct from “portions of the human spirit”.

So, instead of a G-d-orchestrated COMMUNITY that was brought into existence through the will of G-d, which is what the seven portions of the human spirit are (they are 7, and yet 1, but still 7, yet still some how 1, because we were created in the likeness and image of G-d, who has seven spirits Himself), think of a mirror shattering and entities that came into existence through serious trauma. The soul breaking into parts and in some cases of serious trauma, the spirit shattering happens. And a lot of ritual abuse within the witchcraft and satanic communities happens around this time of year, where brokenness and defilement are routinely celebrated.

Contrast that with G-d who made us in His image and after His likeness (Genesis 1:26-27) and part of that image-bearing is our triune nature (spirit, soul, and body: 1 Thess 5:23), and our spirit, while whole is separated into seven portions like the Spirit of G-d (Isaiah 11:2, Revelation 4:5 and 5:6).

BACK TO THE MAIN TOPIC

This time of year, around the Autumnal Equinox, the change of season from Spring to Fall, holds a boatload of defilement that has accrued through years of agreeing what this season should mean and stand for.

Lesson here: Time can become defiled.

So as we have learned, there is a principle here, per Numbers 13. The times of the enemy’s greatest assault were originally designed to be the times and seasons of the L-rd’s greatest blessing. G-d wanted to send the children of Jacob into the Promised Land on the 9th of Av, and they refused to do so, and so that season became the time of greatest destruction for Israel.

Seasonally, we have discovered through repeated patterns that the seasonal changes have also come with heavy enemy attacks and also when we have leaned into the dynamics of reconciliation around these seasonal changes, they have been routinely blessed. That’s a measure of coming int the opposite spirit.

So, each of the seasons run as follows:

March 10-30ish: Reconciliation to Community

June 10-30ish: Reconciliation to Land

September 10-30ish Reconciliation to G-d

December 10-30ish Reconciliation to Destiny/Birthright

As you lean in that direction and utilize the various tools G-d has given you for reconciling, not kowtowing and not subjecting yourself to abuse, but genuine reconciliation, there have been massive payoffs in the arena of reconciliation in these four seasons.

So, bottom line, while things get easier in terms of breakthroughs and the quicker movement toward goals, a closer look at if describing what is available is as follows:

We have greater or stronger or disproportionate access to tools that enable our reconciliation with available these for arenas during these respective Windows, and if you think of what reconciliation is (the improvement of relationship between, and the healing/restoration of breaches or broken elements or places), some picture comes into sharper focus.

And that is part of the reason I facilitate blessings for those four season for the tribe, because the main reason Jesus came is not salvation, but rather RECONCILIATION. That that which is broken would be made whole.

Be at peace, as in shalom, as in wholeness, gang.

Blessing 4: Window of Reconciliation: Reconciled to G-d:

Beloved,

I invite your spirit to come forward.

Spirit,

Listen to the Word of G-d for you for today

Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers.

James 1:16 ESV

Spirit, I do not know precisely how possible it is to be deceived.

But I IMAGINE this.

And I ask you to imagine with me.

SIDEBAR

Yes, I know people might be wont to lecture me saying “Dave, our faith isn’t about what we feel but about what we KNOW. HARD EVIDENCE.”

Actually, it’s about the skillful negotiation and dancing between knowledge and feeling; son mode and bride mode; reins, heart, and brain; black/white/shades of gray and hues of color; giving and receiving; male and female modes; building and creating vs. intimacy and connection; life and death; praise in which we extol the greatness of our King and worship in which we make the blood sacrifice that costs us something; work and rest; spouse and children; friends and family; rivers and oceans; mountains and beaches; day and night; sun, moon, and stars; and so forth.

Just imagine with me and picture the possibilities, spirit.

Imagine with me, if you will, a Father whose capacity and desire and skill to lead you into all truth outstrips and outpaces the enemy’s capacity to deceive.

To which will you latch?

It is a decision we must make each of us.

And so, spirit, I bless you to be an early warning system for the person in whom you dwell. I bless you to speak long and loudly when something just isn’t quite right.

I bless you to resist deception and to be able to recognize it and so flag it for others to see.

I bless you with freedom from the fear of being deceived.

I bless you to not keep in step with the spirit of this age that exalts the ease of being deceived over the ease of being led into all trough by the Spirit of the True and Living G-d.

I bless your interactions with the Holy Trinity in the midst of the Divine Counsel.

I bless the Trinity to respond to your hungering and thirsting with and equivalent or greater response.

I bless your relationship with the L-rd to not be characterized by deception, but by truth and kindness and compassion.

I bless you to have clear eyes and sight to see what the L-rd is doing in your midst.

I bless you with a sequence of live-giving relationships marked by a mutual desire to improve and edify one another.

I bless you with that reality in the name of Yeshua ha-Mashiach.
