The Veil and the Covering

Yahweh is so multifaceted! He exists in various times and in various ways, and He is constantly speaking. We know that Yahweh is Light, and this Light that He is is our Life. Light is beauty, it's frequency; it's motion and it's matter. It comes in many forms. The fullness of Light that we have yet seen is white light, and it contains within it every color both known and unknown. Then we can see the actual colors, and light can be filtered. We can see red light and blue light and yellow light. Each of these facets of Light is Yahweh. The white light must be filtered, must be hidden in a certain time and place so that we can see the other facets of light, the colors... the rainbow! Yet, how can Yahweh hide Himself as White Light from us? And how can He share Himself as Purple Light lest He hide some aspects of Himself? Thus He established the Veil. In the great expanse of Infinite-Eternity, He set up many Veils so that we could not see so much that we fail to see at al

The Marriage of the Lamb and His Bride

Before reading this post, check out my poem  "The Bride's Submission"  on my Zadokim blog. In Hebrew there is a word and a concept called Ezer Kenegdo. This was the word used for Eve when she was created of Adam's flesh. She would be his Ezer Kenegdo, which is often translated into English as helper or helpmeet, but which really means "strong equal one" or "one who stands face to face with." This is how a man and woman should operate when they are husband and wife. Together they are strong equals, and they are something different than they were when they were single. As the Bride of Christ, we are His Ezer Kenegdo. I was going to say, "We all know that after marrying Him, we are strong equals to Christ," but we don't all know that, do we? If we did, we would not come to Him with cringing fear of rejection or with pleas for help with situations that we are well-equipped to handle ourselves. Imagine what life would be like if yo

My Rapture

Some Will Call It Miracles Some will call it miracles When Reality is seen, When all comes to the fullness that’s Beyond our wildest dreams Some will call it faithfulness When manifestation’s known When all that you hold in your hand Is the blessing fully grown Some will call it beautiful, Some will know it as divine, But I will know my Father’s Heart And that this is truly mine For some will call it glory And expect it from above, But this is my Life’s story And I choose to call it Love. As I said before, I don't usually start my blog posts with a poem, but certain things lend themselves to each other. This was just too perfect.  It has come to the fullness of the course of time for a wondrous moment that all can see. This moment is not limited or relegated to anything, but as it is here we should take advantage of it. A beautiful season of Yahweh has come, staring with the Eclipse on Monday and continuing through the Hebrew month

Religion vs. Relationship

In the Beginning, each of us was created to relate to Yahweh. Our purpose was to receive the infinite Love that He wanted to express and then, by returning to Him, partner with Him as creators. Just as with any human relationship, your relationship with Yahweh will be unique and individual. Your partnership with Him in the Divine Dance will trace a different path than anyone else's. The way you interact with Him will be vastly different from the way that anyone else interacts with Him. You will know Him differently than anyone else knows Him. And yet, He is One. He will not be anything other than Himself. Due to His Infinite nature, however, we cannot presume to define Him. We can only experience Him as He shows Himself to us. Anyone who relates to Yahweh is blessed by that relationship. Sometimes people don't know that they have the ability to relate to Yahweh as individuals. They either think that they have to relate to Yahweh like someone else relates to Him or they co

Partial Revelations

I don't usually post my poems on this blog. I usually post them at  Zadokim . However, this poem is short and it leads into what I have to say so nicely! I think it is very important to note that today was a total eclipse only in a very narrow swath of the Earth. The rest of us experienced a partial eclipse, though it was no less glorious... just different. Something our society has forgotten is that differences do not mean there has to be a right and a wrong, a better or worse, a greater or lesser. But anyway... Eclipse When nine percent of the sun Still brings daylight And though the atmosphere changes I bask. I was surprised at how light it was today during the eclipse. I knew that it wouldn't be totally dark because we were not in the path of totality here in Arkansas, but I thought it might be like sunset... twilight or something! Instead the sky dimmed a little and a nice cool breeze came. The temperature seemed to lower quite perceptibly, even mor

The Eclipse (August 21, 2017)

About a month or so ago, I started asking Yahweh about the eclipse. I knew that it would not be insignificant, and I wondered what the prophetic implications of the eclipse were. I knew it would be a time of revelation, but I really didn’t hear anything else. In the meantime, I kept dancing with Yahweh and didn’t worry about it. In the course of that dance, I wrote the poems "Awaken" and "The Stirring of the Prophets"  about a coming Kairos moment whose bang and reverberations were being felt by me in what was then the present, although I knew the moment was still in the future. I was not sure when that moment was, and I still don’t have all the pieces to that, but I think it is connected to the eclipse and the months of September and October. I feel it is no coincidence that the eclipse, the Hebrew month of changing directions with Yahweh and how you think, and the Fall Feasts of Trumpets, Atonement, and Tabernacles all occur in succession. This morning I

Resonant Intercession

I have a confession to make: I never really believed in the power of prayer. Oh, I knew that I should believe in it, and so I kept praying anyway, reciting the litany of "God bless so-and-so" every night before bed, specifically mentioning my loved ones in my prayers and eventually ending with "and the world" so that everyone I didn't have time to mention was included anyhow. Yet, somehow, asking Yahweh for things never made sense to me. Even as a young person, I wondered why an omniscient, omnipotent being was waiting on my prayers to move in a direction that He had always longed to go. "Please heal so-and-so" is rather silly considering the fact that He knows so-and-so's needs, He desires the fulfillment of their needs more than I do, and He already finished that whole "sickness" idea on the cross. As I began to grow in Yahweh and realize that many of these lacks are not even Real, I found prayer even more silly. Really, Yahweh took

How to Let Go of Reality and Illusion

Folks, y'all are getting real-time updates as Holy Spirit tells me these things! Sometimes in writing them out, I understand them better myself. I've been saying how we have to let go and trust Yahweh. As Yahweh has been telling me this, I've been asking Him some questions in order to better understand this. Firstly, to let go of our Promise, are we letting go of our belief and hope in the Promise? The answer is, no we are not. In fact, Yahweh reminded me that He told me to "let go in Hope." Now hope is the anchor for the soul, and so we cannot stop believing in our souls that the Promise will come to pass even as we let it go. So what does it mean to let go of the Promise, then? In my walk with Yahweh, I had come to a point where I was used to holding on to the Promise no matter what happens and what circumstances or naysayers might try to tell me. I had come to believe that in this process of holding on, I was somehow qualifying for or making myself wo

To Let Go of A Promise: It Is Not Death But Life (The How to Live Forever Series)

For years we've been reading Scriptures with a filter that keeps us from realizing the full meaning thereof. In a previous  post , I listed some Bible verses that clearly say that we do not have to die. For most of my life thus far, I read Scripture and blindly skimmed these verses, rationalizing them away as saying that we live after we die because that's what I saw all around me and that's what I was told. Even though the verses never say that, that's what I believed because of a false filter. At some point, we have to remove these false filters entirely and move on to a deeper level of the awareness of Yahweh. While we will always be growing in Him, we can only move forward if we are willing to let go of old mindsets... and if we are willing to let go of the Promise. We've often spoken of the idea of "laying down your life" or "dying to self" in the past. The basic idea comes from these verses: Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grai

The Government of Love

Which would you choose, good or evil? This is the question man has been asking himself over and over and over again throughout history. It comes in various formats: Should I help this person or not? Should I eat the last piece of cake or leave it for my brother? I'm hungry and tired. Should I rob this store? I see that they're hungry and tired. Should I give them food or money? You can zoom out from this question and ask another. Which would you choose, Reality or illusion? This question also comes in many forms, though man has not often known he is asking it. Do I believe in sickness or health? Do I think I've just got to die one day? Do I lack anything? Am I hated or loved? I will now make some statements that I want you to think about. How do you feel when you see the statement? How would it impact your life if it were true? There is no such thing as good and evil. There is no such thing as right and wrong. "Everything is permissible to me," but n

The Freedom in Letting Go: The Process of "Re"Creation

To get a little personal, I am no stranger to illusion. I lived there for most of my life, and I am not being trite when I say that Yahweh is all that there is, nor am I sheltered and unaware of the "harsh realities of life." Before I knew that Yahweh is all that there is, I was a miserable person. Diagnosed at age 10-11 with Clinical Depression, I was on antidepressants for ten years. I did not think I was worthy of living, and so I decided to hide myself behind layers of fat, so sure that if anyone could actually see me, they would want to hurt me because that was all that I deserved. I topped the scale at 387 pounds before I started losing weight. I feared making the slightest mistake, lest others vilify me and I earn the wrath of Yahweh that religion told me was one of His chief characteristics. The process of undoing all of that was almost as painful as being in it. It took nearly four years of slowing coming into the idea that healing from Clinical Depression was ev
