DEATHBLOW

The deepest cavern of darkness smothered her daily, distressing her spirit day and night. The gloom hung like blackened clouds, a miserable reminder of how He lightly esteemed Zebulun and how she wished that even Naphtali were a haven of rest!

The oppression afterward, well…all the more heavily along the sea. Entrapped even here beyond the Jordan! Tears would be welcome as a relief from the doom that is Galilee. The Shadow of Death is king here, ruling with pain, torture, and despair for dessert! For her, what is the hope of God? What can even He do in this hour? How did He leave the land nearest His heart of Creation?

Alas she walks the way of the sea, her head downcast amongst the perpetuality of blackness. Suddenly, a flash of great light! She, with all the people are drawn as a moth to a flame. Powerful Light that destroys this Shadow of Death! The shadows run in fear away from this coming Light! A rescuer is here, our joy is multiplied.

The harvest is overwhelming, we divide the spoil with abundant gratitude and joy. Our dark burdens now gone because of the power of the Light. The rod of the oppressor lay broken on the ground. We can only bring the bloodied clothes and sandals from the warriors to burn and fuel a great fire. We are in awe of all we see and feel in our spirits! But, what does all this mean?

A Strong One speaks: “For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”

She asks, “What of the increase of His government and peace?” A Strong One: “There will be NO end! Of the throne of David and His Kingdom ordered, established with judgment and justice from now and forever. The Lord of Hosts in His zeal will do it!”

H.S. Narrative version of Is 9:1-7

Wound Sharp

The razor gleams amidst the shadows as a light shines forth from beyond. The intensity blocks this brightness from my vision. Even in the partial darkness I strain to visualize, an object appears to teeter on this razor’s edge. The object sways from one side to the other slightly, which way will it go? My eyes adjust to see what this is above the edge, it appears first circular. The light increases in its direction, occasionally shining from the side now. Each time it flashes across to reveal what the front looks like.

The front became apparent after a few flashes as a clock front with ancient looking Roman numerals and appearance. I can’t say how I understood the ancient look I saw exactly aside from the numerals. ‘A point in time’ I heard from beyond. ‘A point in time’ I heard even louder! ‘Grace has a cut off point, stiff necks break eventually.’ In the teetering I sense that the clock cannot go back anymore. It must fall forward, and you must go with it or be left behind.

I hear a phrase, ‘geo-positioning is taking place, align with it and set your future properly. The past is being cut off, a fresh clock is wound and being released in this season. I hear, ‘find the spot and release the clock.’

A-Bombs

The year is 1800 BC and you are amongst one of the tribes of Israel (if the year is wrong historically go with it!). Not too far away is the land of Canaan and your #1 enemy the Canaanites. Like many “ites” they are known for their brand of brutality and carnality. God is the Almighty and when He says it is time to wipe out a people, you had best obey His word! The enemies of Israel all had distinct things that were a bad aroma before God continually. I want Christendom to consider this juxtaposed the Father of the Lamb imagery most see today. That imagery is not untrue, but a little unbalanced at times.
Every man is made in God’s image that we have settled. The only thing I wonder is did Jesus take away all that God had to deal with in wiping out entire groups of people? Have you ever had the thought as I have…”this is why God took out entire populations, there was a whole tribe of people like George over here!” Let’s face it…we have all dealt with someone at our work place that we are staying a step or two back from. We still wonder in our mind when the lightning is going to strike them and want to be prepared! We feel connected to God in that thinking ‘you know I can imagine it would be tough to have a whole population of that’. I do not want to explore this premise far, more of an intro to our inner life battles.
The challenge for us as individuals is what do we do with the anger that others can bring? I know every verse you just conjured up in your Word filled minds, trust me they get me through! God today can eliminate a population and be justified, but we His children cannot. When anger arises in us from the actions of others, why is it so hard? Why does it seem to help to have an enemy? When is our sense of justice truly justified? He is perfect, so He does vengeance, righteousness, and justice without partiality. The fairest among us cannot perform any of it without partiality.
The fires of anger can burn hotly in short bursts. I have experienced entire days that I was pumped full of fire, only to find out the next day my facts were not accurate! The enemy is crafty enough to mask the truth so we see things in a particular light.

CURSE TAKER

Have you ever felt a dark, heavy cloud hang over your life? A feeling that never totally goes… away? Maybe you’ve wondered if there is some type of curse or force working against you. The truth of it is, there is something to it! Often, I find myself unaware of what is actually happening around me. Inside I can feel things around the room or atmosphere I am in. Darkness and light both can be felt.

For some people, it is an unfortunate set of events that makes them feel this way: from health or deaths around them to just a drawing to dark things in general. For others, a subtle erosion from family dynamics, culture/environment, or taking on beliefs that lead you astray.

As I write I hear this: ‘Dark clouds are sent to bring storms into your life. They don’t come from someone who loves, but someone who hates! Even horror films are spiritual you know! Darkness lies and tells you a curse is yours to keep forever.’

I only know one way out of this cycle. I have seen a lot of people fail and be destroyed. Culturally, we are seeing it right now with people like Diddy as a current example. Ain’t here with a popular narrative. The only way out of curses and darkness, is to surrender to light. It all boils down to two forces, two sides of the coin. The only freedom I have ever seen someone possess is from the God of the Bible. On the other hand, the only problems and curses I have seen are from God’s enemy, the devil.

Going to do a deeper dive on all later, but if you are experiencing life in the following way, you can experience it in the opposite way!

I want you to take from all this I am describing a hope that is meant to be for every person. These are symptoms of curses (taken from Derek Prince series about curses):

Mental and emotional breakdown
Repeated/chronic sickness
Breakdown of family
Financial insufficiency
Accident prone
History of suicides or unnatural deaths

These are just some main examples. If you have any connection to what I am expressing above, you can receive hope in asking help from God. I experienced some of these issues in my life, and He was good to help me as I asked Him to.

IN-Frame

Each day brings forth its offering

Water fresh or bitter

Syllables of darkness or light

What structure be of its flitter?

These bricks…are transformed

Color regardless!

These bricks like a breath

Becoming…a woven piece in us

This ethereal and misty structure

Only I view it

Particles, molecules, shades, and shapes!

Molded by choices

This brick burns brightly and crystal clear

That brick dark and light blocking!

My lips have brought forth this creation

Celebration and mourning

Each day, IN-frame another
