Genesis 26:1-6 & 12-33
“And there was a famine in the land— besides the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar.
2 And the Lord appeared unto him, and said— Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell you of:
3 Sojourn in this land— and I will be with you, and I will bless you— for unto you, and unto your seed— I will give all these countries, and I will PERFORM THE OATH which I swore unto Abraham— your father; 4 and I will make your seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and I will give unto your seed all these countries; and in your seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;
5 Because Abraham— OBEYED MY VOICE, and KEPT MY CHARGE (orders and responsibilities) —my commandments, my statutes, and my laws. ←
6 And Isaac dwelt in Gerar.
(Then the part about him lying about his wife, saying she was his sister, then clearing that up— as he ‘sported’ with his wife.)
12 Then Isaac SOWED in that land, and received in the same year a hundredfold— and the Lord blessed him.
13 And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great; 14 for he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds— and great a store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.
15 For all the wells which his father's servants had dug, in the days of Abraham his father— the Philistines had stopped them (up)— and filled them with earth.
16 And Abimelech said unto Isaac— Go from us; for you are much mightier than we.
17 And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.
18 And Isaac dug again the wells of water, which they had dug in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham: And he called their names after the names by which his father had called them.
19 And Isaac's servants dug in the valley, and found there— a well of springing water.
20 And the herdsmen of Gerar strove with Isaac's herdsmen, saying— The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Esek; because they strove with him.
21 And they dug another well— and strove for that also: and he called the name of it Sitnah.
22 And he removed from thence, and dug another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said— For now the Lord has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.
23 And he went up from there to Beersheba.
24 And the Lord appeared unto him the same night, and said— I am the God of Abraham— your father: fear not— for I am with you, and I will bless you, and multiply your seed for my servant Abraham's sake.
25 And he BUILT an ALTAR there— and CALLED UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD— and pitched his TENT there: and there Isaac's servants dug a well.
26 Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath— one of his friends, (went with him) —and Phichol the chief captain of his army.
27 And Isaac said unto them— Why have you come to me, seeing you hate me, and have sent me away from you?
28 And they said— We saw certainly that the Lord was with you: and we said— Let there be now an oath between us, even between us and you— and let us make a covenant with you;
29 That you will do us no hurt, as we have not touched you— and as we have done unto you— nothing but good— and have sent you away in PEACE: you are now the blessed of the Lord.
30 And he made them a feast— and they did eat and drink.
31 And they rose up in the morning, and swore one to another: and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in PEACE.
32 And it came to pass the same day that Isaac's servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had dug, and said unto him— We have found water.
33 And he called it Shebah: therefore the name of the city is Beersheba unto this day.”
________________________
First we can see that there is a famine in the land, one as such that has not been since Isaac’s father’s time, when Abraham was alive; and the Lord comes to Isaac to speak with him.
So Isaac has been found as an intimate, in right standing relationship with the Lord, for their communion is forthwith, and established.
The presence of the Lord is founded, when one is in a right standing relationship with God— that is when he can show up at any moment; and as Isaac was debating what he should do— the Lord comes to lead him.
This is very much an ‘obedience’ instance, and a leadership instance in their relationship.
The Lord tells him not to go to the place of bondage— Egypt— but to trust him, and sojourn in another land, and he will bless him there.
These are the first ‘orders,’ given to Isaac.
He tells him that he will give him— “all these countries, and I will PERFORM THE OATH which I swore unto Abraham— your father; 4 and I will make your seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and I will give unto your seed all these countries; and in your seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed.”
‘If,’ conditionally— Isaac will OBEY the Lord’s lead and dictate— God will bless him in these ways: countries will be added to him, he will FULFILL the ‘oath’ he promised to his father Abraham to multiply his family and children— and through his children— ALL NATIONS will be blessed.
This is ALL DEPENDANT UPON—
‘following his directives.’
I want us to understand this; because if he were to NOT do the Lord’s will— it would negate, or nullify all these plans the Lord has for him, to bless him; and I guarantee it was tempting to really ‘ponder’ what to do about a famine situation— but he KNEW his God already, and we need to remember this about our God too.
*Especially when we are tempted to NOT recall, or honor who he is— and that God holy and TRUE— is worthy to be followed and adhered to.
Isaac had a choice to make— follow what God was telling him, or not; he chose wisely, and honored his God— and God blesses him in many ‘other’ ways, more so than even what he told him he would do.
And it was because— “Abraham— OBEYED MY VOICE, and KEPT MY CHARGE (orders and responsibilities) —my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.”
Obeying God— is critical in receiving the blessings and provision, prosperity and peace of the Lord, as we will see; let us recall that one of the definitions of ‘peace,’ above— is PROSPERITY —which means— “to do well.”
And he received this prosperity— by the obedience of his father, but would soon receive it for ‘his own’ obedience to the Lord as well.
When we OBEY the Lord—
we have made him our master and God;
when we do not obey the Lord,
we have made him our enemy—
as we ‘serve’ another.
The next obedience we see of Isaac is that he ‘SOWED’ in the Land; he did not just TAKE from the land— he GAVE to the land, and he gave to the Lord, as he fulfilled what the Lord gave to us as his command from the beginning in Genesis— “Go forth and till the ground, and work the land.”
He was obedient in the Lord for staying where he was supposed to, listening to the Lord and his lead— and then working in that land— giving back to it, and not just taking from it.
And in the SAME YEAR—
he gained a 100 fold increase.
He became ‘very great,’ the scripture states—
“for he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds— and great a store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.”
So, the Lord blesses him as well with flocks, herds and a great number of servants— all for OBEDIENCE; and the Philistines— envied him.
The Philistines had filled in all the wells his father had dug, so Isaac went to work, RE-ESTABLISHING THEM, with hard work— and he SOWED More.
The Lord is not remiss to notice this work and effort— for the good of all. What one ‘sows,’ one will reap— this is the way of the Lord and his law.
He begins to work together with people who were once his enemies, and who had made life hard for his people— but now, with the blessing and favor of the Lord on his life— they are striving together— and re-establishing the WELLS, which symbolically are the living waters between them, essentially— LIFE RESTORED between them.
He then goes to Beersheba, and the Lord appears to him again, saying he will bless and multiply him, because of his father and Isaac— “BUILT an ALTAR there— and CALLED UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD— and pitched his TENT there: and there Isaac's servants dug a well.”
Isaac has been ULTRA OBEDIENT and REVERENT unto the Lord his God— and in doing so has brought great blessing upon him and his family; the Lord is upholding his covenant with Isaac’s family, because of his father— and because of Isaac’s continued OBEDIENCE unto the Lord— trusting his leading, and adhering to it.
But as well, the REVERENCE unto the Lord, in that— he BUILT AN ALTAR there; when one builds the ‘altar,’ within, now— he is CULTIVATING THE RELATIONSHIP SOIL OF THE HEART.
And when one does that, with and FOR the Lord— he will ‘pitch a tent,’ or begin TABERNACLING WITH the Lord God— and the living waters will flow in that man.
Isaac has been found INCREDIBLY OBEDIENT and REVERENT unto the Lord God— and there is evidence of how well pleased the Lord is, in their relationship.
His enemies are now at PEACE with him; he is blessed beyond measure and prospering.
He is covenanting with the Lord God, and he has erected a ‘sacred space’ for the Lord, has offered up sowing in the land, and called upon the Lord: such OBEDIENCE has brought SUCH INTIMACY between he and the Lord, and with it— PEACE.
Loving God properly— includes OBEDIENCE to him, and his LEAD in one’s life; and with that— PROSPERITY, and PEACE accompany such a reverent and hard worked relationship between man, and his LORD and God.

(Israel is impoverished because of the Midianites, and the children of Israel cried out unto the Lord— and he sent a prophet.)
Judges 6:10-24
“And I said unto you— I am the Lord your God; fear not the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell: but, you have NOT OBEYED my voice.
11 And there came an angel of the Lord, who sat under an oak which was in Ophrah, that pertained unto Joash the Abiezrite: and his son Gideon, threshed wheat by the winepress— to hide it from the Midianites.
12 And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him, and said unto him— The Lord is with you, you mighty man of valor.
13 And Gideon said unto him— Oh my Lord, if the Lord be with us, why then is all this befallen us?
And where are all his miracles which our fathers told us of, saying— Did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt?
But now the Lord has forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites.
14 And the Lord looked upon him, and said—
Go in this might, and you shall save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent you?
15 And he said unto him— Oh my Lord, how shall I save Israel?
Behold— my family is poor in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house.
16 And the Lord said unto him—
Surely I will be with you, and you shall smite the Midianites as one man.
17 And he said unto him—
If now I have found grace in your sight, then show me a sign that you talk with me.
18 Depart not hence, I pray you— until I come unto you, and bring forth my present— and set it before you.
And he said—
I will tarry until you come again.
19 And Gideon went in, and made ready a kid, and unleavened cakes of an ephah of flour: the flesh he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot— and brought it out unto him under the oak, and presented it.
20 And the angel of God said unto him—
Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and lay them upon this rock, and pour out the broth. And he did so.
21 Then the angel of the Lord put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and there rose up fire out of the rock, that consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes.
Then the angel of the Lord departed out of his sight.
22 And when Gideon perceived that he was an angel of the Lord, Gideon said—
Alas, O Lord God! Because I have seen an angel of the Lord face to face.
23 And the Lord said unto him— PEACE be unto you— fear not: you shall not die.
24 Then Gideon BUILT AN ALTAR there unto the Lord, and called it Jehovahshalom: unto this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.”
__________________________
He first mentions here in scripture that the Israelites have NOT OBEYED him and his lead; then, he comes and speaks directly once again to them, and gives another chance, or opportunity, in his mercy to HEAR HIM OUT— and to OBEY.
The Lord shows up and begins speaking about Gideon.
The angel of the Lord, meaning “the one who represents the Lord,” tells him— He is a man of valor.
Definition Valor— great courage in the face of danger; root definition— “be strong.”
So, first off the spirit is reminding him he is strong in the Lord, and not afraid; to be NOT AFRAID— is to be walking with the Lord God— for he gave us NOT A SPIRIT OF FEAR, but of Love, and of POWER, and of A SOUND MIND— meaning DISCIPLINED and STABLE thinking and comprehension and focus:
Because the Mind of God is being used, and HIS mind is stable, focused, fearless and POWERFUL.
This is how we can know we are NOT in the mind of Christ, or his thoughts, or FOCUS— when we are sitting in fear, powerlessness or hopelessness, and helplessness, and anxiety and discombobulation of thoughts— essentially chaotic thinking and unstable emotional status because of it.
The Lord moves in STABILITY, and PEACE—
which is ‘godly order.’
And by godly order, I mean— one’s person is ruled by the Spirit of the Father holy; one’s person is ORDERED ABOUT by ‘his’ mind, ‘his’ plans, ‘his’ attributes of character— and one has VACATED the ‘carnal’ ways and reasonings, and one of those carnal ways is FEARFUL THINKING and BEING.
You see FEAR is rampant in the BODY right now— there is an INFILTRATE in the people of the Lord, inside them; and the spirit of FEAR is being ‘entertained,’ instead of the Spirit of the Lord God holy, powerful, capable and TRUE.
And we are going to have to KICK THIS SPIRIT OUT— and that will ONLY COME by “resolute discipline.”
(back to Gideon)
In verse 14 God says to Gideon— “Go in this MIGHT; have not ‘I’ sent you??”
Now, in the Strong’s, the definition of MIGHT is— “ability of power,” and here the Lord is saying— “have you forgotten I AM the the ONE ‘with’ you, and have commissioned you for this??”
The Lord is reminding us, if we stay minded upon him, and we don’t STARE AT THE STORM— he can show up, and show himself strong and able in this person’s life.
But the ‘key’ is— we have to REMEMBER THIS, and we have to RECALL that the Lord is not only with us— he is HERE, CO-LABORING the ‘commision,’ or the MISSION of all he sends us to, and at— WITH US, in his POWER, APPROVAL and COMMISION.
It’s a “co—”mission, for a reason;
laboring TOGETHER.
When we lose sight of the truth that we are LABORING TOGETHER with the Lord in this life— then we will be PULLING at the yoke, all by ourselves, and the BURDEN, or things we face in life— will become HEAVY again— because we are doing these things “of our own strength.”
Meaning— we are not pulling the weight in life “WITH” God, we are pulling alone, and NOT A TEAM EFFORT.
And he is the ONLY one that is MIGHTY enough to get the job done— we are to INVITE HIM into the battles, and then ‘yoke up’ with him— which is WORK WITH HIM— not against him.
We have GOT TO learn how to ‘do relationship’ with God; and in that, we have got to learn what a real relationship looks like: it’s a PARTNERSHIP.
And partners— pull together, and effort together in UNITY, like a team of oxen, and that is how the work, or battles get accomplished.
________________
In verse 15, Gideon sees a ‘weakness,’ and attempts to tell the Lord God, how he is UNQUALIFIED to get the job done for and with God— by noting his weakness in life: being poor.
But see here what the Lord says to him,
about his ‘excuses.’
“Surely I will be with you, and you shall smite the Midianites as one man.”
He is reminding Gideon that he is more than capable of taking out a whole bunch of people— as like one man doing it, at that. And he makes him understand that it is the Lord being with you that gets this done— and it is not of Our Own might.
It is God who does this, but will make it look as if we, one man, was able to accomplish all these things in life.
But it is really the Co-laboring with God, and seeing God for who he really is— and not losing sight of the fact that he is the all capable and high ruling one— and then —our battles are won, and the devils are displaced out of our lives.
In verse 17 and 18 Gideon asks the Lord to help encourage him, as he trusts in the Lord— by asking him to NOT depart from him— UNTIL— and the Lord does as he asks.
It isn’t the ‘until what’ part that matters, that is just the particulars of this story— but it is that the Lord saw the HEART OF THAT STATEMENT and request— and that was— that he WANTED THE LORD ‘nigh’ to him.
Any Father, wants to be WANTED— any MAN, for that matter, wants to be TRULY DESIRED— and it was the Lord’s PLEASURE to remain with him; and Gideon wanted the Lord to stay, until he brought him his PRESENT— again, any Father, would love that.
What gift do we bring the Lord,
for his presence to remain?
And I do not mean, literal gifts of material items— but I mean SPIRITUAL GIFTS and PRESENTS, or PRESENTATIONS.
You see, one of the GREATESTS GIFTS we can give unto the Lord— is our UNADULTERATED ‘focus,’ ON HIM.
We oftentimes ‘go to him,’ but we go to him as CONSUMERS, to CONSUME ‘him,’ UPON OUR LUSTS, or better said— OUR DESIRES and NEEDS.
But what do we ‘bring him’
that is A GIFT to ‘give him??’
→ Because what he truly desires is US. ←
He desires US— in company, in conversation (that’s a back and forth).
He desires us emotionally— that’s giving him our adoration of him, in moment’s with him— not of words, or of words alone— but really opening those heart doors and asking him to COME IN AND ‘see’ what we are FEELING and THINKING about him, right then and there.
He is desiring PRESENCE WITH US.
And that Presence is often in SILENCE, when it is the MOST FOCUSED.
I literally will sit with him in silence, and don’t speak aloud for hours upon hours in the day— only heart to heart communications with him— and I ‘hang’ with him. And he ‘hangs in the room,’ quite LITERALLY in his Spirit, as it fills the fulness of the room with me— and I TAKE HIM IN, and he TAKES ME IN.
Some of the DEEPEST COMMUNION between he and I is SILENT COMMUNION; meaning, silent of words spoken, and only CONCEPTS CONVEYED— ‘heart to heart.’
This is what heaven’s communication is like,
‘on the other side.’
(I will speak more on this Silent Communion— at the end)
_______________
In verse 19, Gideon prepares a sacrificial gift, or offering unto God— note that there is sacrificial gifting, or GIVING ‘unto’ the Lord taking place in both these places in scripture (Isaac and Gideon) and it leads to Gideon into intimacy and favor with God, and his PRESENCE with him— as it did with Isaac, in Genesis.
And the Lord then— ‘orders’ him WHAT TO DO; if we do not hear what God is ordering → how can we OBEY??
(Verse 20) “Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and lay them upon this rock, and pour out the broth.”
And if we do not obey— how can we find FAVOR and PRESENCE with God??
How can we RESIDE IN HIS PEACE— which is a byproduct of the presence of God being ‘with us,’ and IN CONTROL, and AT THE HELM of our ‘relationship.’
That is WHEN, and HOW God—
becomes our ‘God.’
Because “Maker of me,” is just what he did to bring you into existence— but LORD OF YOU— is where you INVITED HIM IN, to LIVE WITH YOU, and LEAD YOU.
We must honor the Lord— we must honor THE LORD; we must HONOR THE LORD— in ‘allowing him’ to BE → THE LORD, or MASTER to us, in us, WITH US.
We have a whole bunch of people in his BODY— that have not made him Lord; can you imagine the people who knock Lordship??
They literally say, in the Hyper Grace movement— “Y’all are all messed up on LORDSHIP.”
But the truth of THAT STATEMENT, is horrifying, as scripture states, in Romans 10:9—
“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead → thou shalt be saved.”
THAT’S CONDITIONAL!
Confess, in Strong’s says— ACKNOWLEDGE; so here, we must ACKNOWLEDGE HIM ‘as’ LORD.
To what??
TO BE SAVED!
How can we think we are ‘saved’ of ANYTHING— if we have no MASTER → ‘over us??’
For we were dying in OUR OWN WAY— before we heard of ‘his Salvation.’
So, we NEED HIM AS OUR GOD, or LEADER OF ME AND MY WAYS— to be ‘saved,’ IN GENERAL.
Lordship was DEMONSTRATED, no better than when Yahshua himself did ONLY WHAT FATHER SAID and SHOWED— which means COMMANDED OF HIM, as he LED HIM → or, BECAME HIS “Lord.”
Lordship— matters— as much as Sonship does: for one must have a Father, to be a son.
One must walk in Sonship, that’s ‘son’ relationship— and unto ‘a Father,’ that’s Lordship— in a relationship where one has made him FATHER OF OUR WAYS, that’s LEADER OF YOUR WAYS, that’s “Your God,” or we are not saved → from ANYTHING.
We actually REMAIN in the throne seat ourselves, leading self, or with a devil at the helm, walking in rebellion, otherwise.
He HAS GOT TO BE— ‘leading us,’ or we have NO MASTER, we have no GOD OVER US— and we have been saved— from nothing; we remain in our sinful ways, trespasses against him— and self leading.
(back to Judges 6, and Gideon)
22 And when Gideon perceived that he was an angel of the Lord, Gideon said— Alas, O Lord God! Because I have seen an angel of the Lord face to face.
23 And the Lord said unto him— PEACE be unto you— fear not: you shall not die.
24 Then Gideon BUILT AN ALTAR there unto the Lord, and called it Jehovahshalom: unto this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.”
Gideon ACKNOWLEDGED the Lord, when he said— “I have seen a spirit of the Lord, face to face—” and he REVERENCED that interaction, and PROVED IT— by OBEYING HIS ORDERS from the Lord, ‘making him’ LORD ‘over him.’
THEN— PEACE was given and restored in the life of Gideon; and he called the place there, where this all took place— JEHOVAH, or GOD— and PEACE: Jehovah-Shalom.
We GAIN the PEACE of God— WHEN WE OBEY HIM, and ‘make him’ THE LORD OVER US.
If we are not going to do this— we ought not expect the shalom of God to envelope us. For we are only enveloped, or encircled and encamped OF THE LORD’S PEACE— when the LORD IS REVERENCED and PRESENT.
We can see it’s the “building of” an PROPER ALTAR, unto the Lord— that brings about the sacrificial gift offering of proper relations between man and God.
And what I mean is— it is when we are in the RIGHT HEART STANCE WITH GOD, and we are ALL ABOUT ‘him,’ for the sake of HIM— no things we need of him, no dumping stuff on him, no focus on earthly things, happenings or points of interest…
just FOCUSED UPON— ‘his person,’ ALONE— that we are reverencing God, for God.
When we are in a relationship with ‘another,’ whomever— we MUST CULTIVATE that relationship, and honor the person as ‘IMPORTANT,’ or that person will not remain long in ‘relations’ with us.
If we are constantly only bringing up what WE need, what WE want, what WE feel, what WE see, or self, self, self SELF!!!
Then we are REVERENCING— self, and NOT ‘the other.’
I see this in the lives of God professing children.
I see Where we have our focus on everything —but— who his person is.
And if we're going to continue to focus on everything, that is not— HIS PERSON— and how beautiful he is…
How powerful he is.
How loving he is.
How provisionary he is unto us…
And how much we absolutely adore him for just WHO HE ‘is,’ and what he has ALREADY DONE and PROVIDED FOR US…
We are going to be remaining focused upon— outward circumstances, self focus, superficial, temporary sufferings and mindedness—
and HE—
will fall to the BACK OF OUR PRIORITY LIST.
And in that— we will not be WHOLEHEARTED unto him; and he did say— “WHEN, and IF you seek me with a FULL HEART— you ‘will’ FIND ME.”
Circumstances, and sufferings— are not God— they are events, situations, and happenings.
But they are not God himself.
And if we remain in that place, where what we need, want, and claim we cannot function with, or without some ‘thing or circumstance—’ and it’s not just HIM, and his PRESENCE and PERSON…
We will be remaining focused upon the storm— like Peter— and we will continue to sink in our FAITH WALK with him.
It is only when we keep our eyes focused on God— WHO HE IS— that we can rise above, and remain above the storm and circumstances.
Because it is then that we have actually made God the most high thing, and person, and ruling power in our lives– at the HEART and MINDING HIM —level.
If we are focused upon the HAPPENINGS down here, and the powers that be— then THEY have become your most MOST HIGH (that’s exalted, talked about and focused upon, inside you) ‘thing’ THAT YOU *FEAR, or HONOR— in existence— INSIDE YOU
→ instead of God holy, true, powerful and all capable.
Fear will remain when → what you are honoring, focused upon, talking about, and otherwise exalting within your person → FEAR → and your FAITH, remains NOT on the Lord himself.
PEACE— or The Godly order in our lives, of and from God— which is kicking chaos out, and letting God lay down his LAW, and roots in your life, → only comes when the presence of God has been REVERED, EXALTED and LIFTED INTO THE HIGHEST POSITION → within us.
If the Things we are seeing, feeling, thinking on— remain the strongest focus in your life, in your DAY, in your HOURS and MINUTES— then God, and his PEACE, and his actual rule within you → will become the back seat person, and priority.
And we will remain fearing the enemy, what the enemy is doing, and how strong the enemy is— over that of God holy, powerful, all consuming, loving, and providing— the Creator who is overall things.
And that is a shame.
He was telling me before, that…

“If you want to enter into my shalom, my person is the Prince of Peace → I am Jehovah Shalom— the God of Peace, the father of Peace itself…
but I am not going to force your vessel to come into my presence and peace, and one must be peaceful— to enter into proper communion with me— to RECEIVE IT, in ‘Peace.’
I will require you to do your homework, and do your work at controlling your own person with me— to enter into me and my peace that I bring.
This is the work that you must co-labor at, and work out your own salvation with me— at.
If you want the peace of God— which I bring— then calm yourself → Center yourself— have your intention of what you're reaching for, be set and established, and then meet me in that place.
You are more than capable of calming yourself— Centering yourself— and meeting me in that place.
And when you meet me in that place—
you will experience the presence and the Peace of God.
It’s AVAILABLE TO YOU— but you must RECEIVE IT, and STEP INTO IT— to ‘experience it,’ which is ME; remember WHO I AM— and ask to meet me, in my PEACE STATE— and HELP ME CENTER YOU: it’s CO-LABORING, this the only way PARTNERSHIP ‘works.
But if you're going to bring in chaos, fear, anxiety, concerns and worry before me— then you have brought someone else into my presence— and the peace you are seeking from Me— the clarity, and focus of MY PERSON— will not be the only one who has ENTERED INTO— our relationship and presence.
And their INFLUENCE will be felt and heard.
So— I am expecting you to SHUT OUT THAT REALM, and VOICES— and meet me in the place where I RESIDE.
Because where I reside → my peace resides.
And where my peace resides, remains, and rules— you will experience my peace. And my peace is— Godly ORDER restored— where once chaos reigned.
But in order for you to EXPERIENCE my PEACE— you must ‘enter’ it; and it is found IN MY PERSON— and only I can bring you into it.
But your INTENTION MUST BE UPON— SUBDUING and TAKING DOMINION ‘within you,’ AND KICKING THE OTHER SPIRITS OUT.
For those ‘others,’ can have NO PLACE WITHIN YOU— having NO RULE OF MOST HIGH IN YOU (and that means— talks the loudest in you)— if you wish to ENTER MY PRESENCE and HAVE ME— as Most High within you— bringing my Peace and godly order BACK IN.
For FEAR— in your realm— is because MY PRESENCE and PERSON IS NOT IN YOU AS MOST HIGH RULING ‘person.’
Meaning— you are thinking on, reverencing, honoring the PLOTS, PLOYS and WORKINGS OF SATAN— more so than you are ‘My Person,’ and WHAT I BRING, and CAN PROVIDE FOR YOU.
Set your intention of making ME, the most important, and SEEING ME, truly, as I am— and welcoming me, and my thoughts, and my wishes and my desires and dreams in— and you will FORGET ABOUT SATAN ENTIRELY.
And you will FIND ‘intimacy’ with the Most High and Holy, LOVING God.
It really is as simple as— ‘what are your intentions??’
And, ‘have you set any??’
Because if your intentions are truly to SIT BEFORE THE MOST HIGH BEING OF ALL THINGS, and you recall I am Most High KING, and see me as the MOST HIGH KING— you will REVERENCE ME as ‘King,’ before you SPEAK and APPROACH.
You will BRING HONOR TO THE KING, and you will ENTER MY DOMAIN with thanksgiving, gratitude and reverence for me— before you inquire of personal things, before the Most High.
Man has forgotten my MAJESTY, Janet— remind them to reverence me, and they will then be FEARING THE LORD.
One of my 7 spirits is the Fear of the Lord; when they recall they should reverence me as MASTER, KING and HIGH ONE— then, have they MET THEIR FATHER.
Then, the FATHER— wishes to commune with his child, in a reverent and honoring state of communion between US BOTH— in INTIMACY, TOGETHER— honoring each other.
Face to Face— Heart to Heart— REVERENCING ONE ANOTHER— for ‘who we are.’
I want them to sit in that space with me— and ‘allow’ my Spirit to fill the room, and fill their vessels— THEN— can we get down to business, and plans, and dreams, and needs.
But FIRST CHILD— help them understand the need for doing this, PLACING ME IN MY RIGHTFUL THRONE POSITION and SEAT, ‘first—’ and THEN— we will address all other things.
My HOUSE, my VESSEL— is a ‘house or vessel—’ of PRAYER, and it’s PROPER PRAYER COMMUNION at that; and THAT BEGINS— with ‘reverence,’ and entering in with thanksgiving and a right heart stance— with effort put in to CENTER ONE’S PERSON UPON ME.
Because THEN— I can meet them for breakthroughs, and blessings and favor, and provisions— ‘as—’ THEIR MOST HIGH RULING ‘Father,’ WITHIN THEM.
That is where satan loses his GRIP in them—
and I TAKE OVER.
Reverencing, or Fearing the LORD— the Master over you— IS A PREREQUISITE— to receive of the Father.
Seek ‘ME—’ and my righteousness— that’s remember my HOLINESS and DOMINION of my person, as HIGH RULING ONE— in my Kingdom— and THEN— all the rest will be added unto you.
Including— PEACE, BREAK THROUGH, SUBDUING THE ENEMY and KICKING HIM OUT, PROVISION and ALL OTHER BLESSINGS.
But first— one must make me LORD over them, and OBEY, and REVERENCE ‘Me,’ and in that— PEACE and godly ORDER will be restored, along with all other provisions from my Kingdom.
Meet me, HOW I AM, and find my being— in a state of reverent honor, and I will extend to you— my gratitude— and bring my Peace and Restorations to your inner man, and to our intimacy relationship.
If one is truly SEEKING ‘Me—’
One will TRULY— RECEIVE ME.
May we introspectively assess what we are TRULY BRINGING TO EACH OTHER; may we assess and establish our REAL DESIRED INTENT— and that is to BECOME ONE, IN UNION, UNDERSTANDING EACH OTHER, REVERENCING EACH OTHER, SEEING THE VALUE IN EACH OTHER, SUPPORTING and ENCOURAGING ONE ANOTHER—
As we GET TO KNOW one another.
They need to KNOW ME child, and when they get to KNOW ME— it will be because they ‘read me’ first— then went looking to reconnect with ‘that person.’
They will desire ‘that person’ to hear from; they will remind themselves of who I am, and they will MEET ‘that guy,’ in intimacy with me— when they SET THEIR INTENTIONS TO SIT ‘with Me.’
Sit with me, children; sit in the presence of your Father, to FEEL MY PRESENCE, and HEAR MY HEART SPEAK TO YOU.
‘Allow me’ to BE with you; with no expectations— just to SOAK in each other's presence— and THEN SEE— what I can bring to the table.
When you OPEN THE DOORS OF YOUR HEARTS TO ME— and ALLOW ME IN, with the intention that you WILL hear me, and receive something of my person, and honor me— I will SHOW MYSELF TO YOU: this is the revelation of God— the revealing of myself to you. I EXPOSE MYSELF TO YOU, INTIMATELY.
I see the HEARTS OF MEN and WOMEN, dear children— let me into your hearts, not just your words and thoughts— let me into that heart that speaks volumes, if you are UNASHAMED, HONEST, FORTHRIGHT, and VULNERABLE with me— YOU WILL FIND ME.
Be vulnerable with, and approach me, and in doing so— BLAST THROUGH the ‘awkward’ phase of intimacy— STICK WITH IT, and WITH ME— and I will take you places in our relationship WE HAVE NEVER BEEN.
I will BRING YOU DEEPER INTO ME— and you WILL— ‘know’ your God, and Father.”
–Father, Son, and Spirit

Which brings me to his point of wanting me to explain to you, just how we enter the silent communion of the presence of the lord.
The place where the deepest Heart to Heart communion comes— between man and God.
This is how God communes, and fellowships with his people in the spirit realm, in heaven.
And we can experience this with God, now, here in this realm— if we will only partner with him, and take control of our vessels with him, to create the atmosphere and proper environment for God to INHABIT.
That is what it is to establish the Altar for God, where the offering, or gift and present— can be brought to God, from us.
And that gift, or offering is to enter into his domain, with the proper spirit, and conduct thereof: and that is of disciplined obedience and reverence, and giving way to only his Spirit's attributes when we go to meet him in the secret place.
His Tabernacle— is set up a certain way— and we will enter into all that he has there → if we will bring ourselves properly into his presence.
And part of that is establishing your current environment outside of you, and your current environment— inside of you— before you reach out to him whatsoever.
It is very much like cleaning your home before you invite guests over. If you're wanting things to go smoothly, as smoothly as possible— we will put in the work, the preparation, and make the environment welcome and hospitable, for the ones that we are extending hospitality to.
In this case— it is unto the most high God and Father of us.
And in that— there couldn't be anyone more important, to gift with our REVERENCE and DISCIPLINE OF PERSON— then the Lord himself— with our presence being properly disciplined and controlled —-when we invite him to come —and sup with us.
That does not mean that everything is going to go away, but it does mean you're going to do the best you can to help subdue all those things, with your focus on God, and with god, and praying in that he help you establish that environment, inside your person taking dominion —and outside your person— in your home environment, taking Dominion there as well— before we even reach out to him with our communications.
Because many are reaching out to God to communicate with him, without setting the environment, the intentions, or the DISCIPLINED OF PERSONS— and are walking away from interacting with God— Without receiving their answers and help from the lord, because it was half efforted at.
When we put in full effort— and in preparations, under discipline of our person, taking control of our environment inside and out— THEN we are— providing the proper altar, or heart stance and soil conditions— to receive of the Lord holy.
He is a very disciplined person, and if we want that peace that he brings, and that chaos to leave us— then we will walk in his attributes of controlling our person with him, throwing down everything inside that sets itself against his nature and person— and resisting everything that tries to stand in between us → and wholehearted Union with the Father, for just his person.
Just to be in the presence of the lord, to serve him, to wait upon him like a waiter would serve a customer, to anoint him with our love and adoration, from the truth of our being, in a stable and controlled expression of our person— where he has taken Dominion in those areas— before we even supplicate or ask from him whatsoever.
If we are going to God, or any other person in our lives, and only demanding of them— without reverencing them, honoring them, and giving gifts of love and adoration unto them, supporting them, and caring about what's going on in their lives— they will see the truth that we are the most important thing to us.
And so—
if we want to make God
the most important thing
in our lives—
then we must do just that.
We must prepare to meet the Lord— in the secret place of communion and fellowship— just to meet HIM there.
Will there be times in life when we are just going to reach out because we are in need, yes!
But for your normal, and everyday Communications with the lord, where it is just the two of you in a personal secret space, relating one to another— we ought to be preparing, like a date— and a courtship proper for the Lord, and for ourselves in that relationship.
We ought to be honoring both us, and the Lord— in our relating-ship— by setting our environment and intentions to be the deepest, and most centered on each other, over everything else.
And if that's the case— then we are focused on each other— and not the happenings, provisions, desires, or anything else.
We are literally only focused on each other— lifting each other up, supporting one another, sharing deeply with one another and our affections, adorations— and are honoring of each other for the people that we are— and not what can become of us, be brought to us, provided for us, or what we desire, see, feel, or anything else related to this realm down here.
When we want to be close, and intimate with the people in this world, like our partners in marriage— the best intimacy you could ever have with your partner has nothing to do with using your physical bodies— it has to do with the honest sharing of the Inner Man one to another.
And this is what we are talking about when we enter into the sacred and holy space of God and man's communion— that it is a space where you literally look at one another for who you are— not what you can do or bring.
This is Tabernacling with the Father—
like the Son, Yahshua did.
It is a space where you and God will stare at each other's souls, the deepest parts of who you are— and you will Express Concepts one to another.
Those Concepts often look like:
“YOU ARE AMAZING.”
“I LOVE YOU.”
“YOU FULFILL ME.”
“YOU ARE THE BEST THING THERE IS!”
“I CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT YOU, LITERALLY.”
“I LOVE _____ THIS ABOUT YOU.”
“DON’T EVER LEAVE ME.”
“YOU SAVE ME, BY JUST BEING ‘YOU.’ “
“YOU ARE THE BEST PART OF MY DAYS.”
“I WANT TO SEE YOU MORE— KNOW YOU MORE.”
“I LOVE SPENDING TIME WITH YOU.”
“I VALUE YOU.”
“I THANK GOD— for YOU— God!”
(Etcetera and so on— and note—
this is how our ‘earthly’
Marriages should be handled as well.
*Reverencing one another.)
We will find ourselves being people who are just grateful for all the different ways God is in his actual person.
And he will reiterate how incredibly important, valuable and special you are to him.
But these will be done in concepts
of quick knowing.
It will not be filled with a whole bunch of words, between the two of you, back and forth— filling spaces with fluffy sayings.
It will be HEART FELT, HONEST COMMUNICATIONS
FROM ONE HONEST HEART— to THE OTHER.
This will be heart-deep bonding, and recognition of one another as valuable.
And in this— he wants me to help define to you all— how to set your environment and intentions with him, for him— and how I do this with him — in our intimate secret place of communion and fellowship.
