My Deeper Life

I believe that I see, but I know that I see in part - only.  Still, I do my best to assess those that I have been sent to and those that have been sent to me - to help, to train, to learn from and to work with.  As I write I think of those that have travelled the Deeper Life journey through iterations present and past.  P, J and R sit at the top of the tree and have been faithful to the protocol and the regimen, helping others to understand holding the format that Jesus put into place.  (When I write Jesus - you hear Yahshua.)  I think of others who have enjoyed the regimen and the relationship that will always follow the followers.

This month we will read Judges and Isaiah once again - Philemon, John, Peter and Revelation - wow what a month - and I will add to that reading a chapter of Proverbs on days that I can get to it.  One thing I know for sure is that as I read, I will hear his voice and as I listen I will do my best to obey - asking for strength every step of the way.

Dams, Madrassas and power plants in Pakistan - Lord (when I say Lord - you hear Yah) let us pray.  Cars, energy technology and television in China - Let hear our prayer.  Jobs, investment, water solutions, homes and security in Mexico - Lord hear our prayer.  Infrastructure, energy, jobs and a plan for Haiti - Lord hear our prayer.  Relationships, jobs, opportunities and influence in Zimbabwe - Lord hear our prayer.  Hydro Plants and Housing for the Crow Nation - Lord hear our prayer.  May the Body of Christ begin to flow - “as one.”  Lord hear our prayer.

Tonight from Yale University - I prepare.  Tomorrow from Washington DC - I will be preparing to participate in the Presidential Prayer Breakfast.  I am praying for Michel Faulkner as he stretches his faith to defeat Charlie Rangle in his run for Congress.

Faith without works is dead.  Those who deny the power of God are making a big mistake.  Press in.  Press on toward the mark of the high calling in God through Christ Jesus.  Study to show yourself worthy - a workman fit for the master’s use.

Pierre - Matthew - Orville - Taharqa - Drea - Bryan Amos - Sarah Amos - who else is part of this branch?

Rachael - Neubela - Yadira - Sonya - Nicole Footman - Jennifer Nieman - who else is part of this branch?

Jacki - Gloria B., Kim P. Jones - Michael Lewis, Ken Handwerker, Pedro?

Ashley?  Laura Ling?  Angel?  Who else?  It is time to get serious about paying the anointing forward.  Make sure there is life in your love.

Faith is the substance of things hoped for AND the evidence of things unseen. It is impossible to please Yah without faith and faith comes …. one way and that is by hearing and hearing by the word of YHWH -

As I meditate Faith - I think of what I have been taught and then I look to the Hebrew roots - for faith is not just saying and getting - faith is a lifestyle - when you think of faith - your inner image that qualifies you to handle this wonderful tool is - faithfulness - (Great is His faithfulness toward you. He is the same, yesterday and forever. He is new every morning. He will never leave you, nor forsake you and He is your secret place.)

Faith is asking yes, but in the teaching - ask, seek and knock, the original thought is to ask and keep on asking, seek and keep on seeking and knock and keep on knocking, just as faith comes by hearing and hearing and hearing and hearing. There is a lifestyle - a consistent commitment - a long term choice that is required before the power of faith will be made available to you.

Yah is not mocked - what you sow - you shall reap. Be not weary in well doing for you will reap in due time, in due season, if you faint not. If you don’t quit on yourself and on your choices you will reap appropriately and proportionately according to what you have sown.

Faithfulness then in Hebrew is alef, mem, nun, heh — emunah. I don’t have the Hebrew font here on facebook so I have to write them out, and I cannot get my system to write left to right so I am going to have to depend on your ability to conceptualize and use some abstract thinking to flow with me. You can do all things through Moschiach which strengthens you.

Alef is the number one and it alludes to and suggests a few things. It has hidden in it the Name above all names as the numerical value is hidden in that the symbol for alef includes a slanted vav held up by a yud underneath and a yud suspended over it. These two yuds combined with the vav have a numerical value of 26 and this is the value of the yud, heh, vav, heh - Yahweh.

The Alef also is made up of three letters that clues us into the process that is faith itself. Begin with Him, the name and all that He is. (A) Learn and continue to learn from heaven (the torah and the rest of the scripture) and begin to apply what you learn. (L) Then speak it out and teach it to others once you are sure that what you have learned works. (F)

Mem is the number 40 and this is the time of testing, purging, pruning and preparation. Faith is not faithful and hasn’t reached the level of faithfulness until it has been tempted and tested. The Mem refers to Messiah, Water (Mayim) and more that implies consistency and the giving of life. Life is not really of merit or a better way to say it ‘to be counted on’ until it has stood up against evil or stood up for good.

There is so much to be understood as we meditate the word and love on the word’s living attributes.

Now once you have passed these tests - and pass them you must to reach the NUN - which is the number 50 and that is the jubilee. One hundred fold return, sweatless victory - resting and more.

Now exhale and meditate the breath the HEH of emunah.

As I write this I pray that you will lose yourself in the meditation of the word. Know that the word was made flesh and dwelt among us. Until the word is made flesh it is not doing what it was designed to do. What?

You must read the word. Learn it. Speak it. Do it. Then measure the results. If you are not removing burdens and destroying yokes - go back to the drawing board and get it right. The word works. Once you see that faith is available. Choose to be faithful - filled with faith - and then work towards developing and living in faithfulness - then you will inherit the fulness that is promised.

I will pray some more for you. I solicit your comments and your questions. I cannot exhaust this topic. I ask only that you will meditate with me. Our discipleship program is reading 5 books of the bible together. Exodus, Leviticus, Luke, Ephesians and Galatians.

If you will read with us, you will hear more and understand more as you join us and others who write and meditate these things. Having recent common thoughts allows us to get into a rhythm.

Yahshua is Yah incarnate. Incarnate - that is a good word.

Dan Stratton - the word of the Lord just came to me when I looked at you a moment ago and said, “You have stood and in some times and some cases it’s been tough. And you felt like you failed, you felt like aww just slipped and I shot my mouth off when I should have kept it shut and I kept it shut when I should have said something and I just feel like I just missed it in so many ways, but Dan you didn’t know what was arrayed against you. You couldn’t see in the spirit the forces that Satan had gathered up in order to bring you down.
And he couldn’t get it done and he never will be able to get it done

And your heavenly father is announcing to you this morning, Well done good and faithful servant. Don’t back down, don’t back out and don’t quit. It is time to hit and hit hard and you are the man that can do the job. Glory… Praise the Lord.

Sabbath was made for man. Man was not made for Sabbath. Yahshua reminds us of the gift of rest. Today will be a day of introspection as I prepare to participate in a spiritual healing that surpasses physical healing. I believe that this nation is undergoing a healing that has a profound timing. And I can feel this national healing as it goes hand in hand with a deep inner healing that I have needed for some time now.

I rest today in a deep knowing that His Word fo us is true. And I declare this healing over all that Yahweh has given me. I pray it over my family, my church Faith Exchange, over The ProVision Network, over every partner and friend in every ministry and business and I declare healing and favor in every area of influence that we have been given. This rest is a gift to us and I declare it over you. Rest assured. Rest cheerfully. Rest healthy - spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, socially and financially. Rest knowing that you are loved and that you are beautiful and that He is not ambivalent towards you. He is able to make all grace abound towards you. You will always, in all situations and at all times have the sufficiency that you will need to give to every good work.

In this rest, I release a seeded - seed. This seed has been fertilized with Divine impregnation. This seed is loaded with every provision that you will need to manifest your purposed assignment. Rest confidently. Meditate the confidence that is coming to you this day. Assuredly, He holds creation together by the Word of His command. He has made all things so wondrously and by His will you stand. So, meditate His name. Your life, he will reframe, so that you will clearly see the path - your path is in His name.

Yud - the point of creation - the hand of Yah is always near. The pen of the creator will craft your deliverance from fear.

Heh - his breath - his exhalation - upon which he places words. The stuff of all creation - He breathes - His ruach - his breath - his spirit - our courage. His breath is in you now.

Vav - The number of man. The hook and the and. Ever marching forward connected to eternity - to heaven - by His will and by your choice. Choose rest. Choose Yah. Choose Him.

Heh - your breath, which is His breath first.

Yahweh breathes and you breathe. There is a rhythm to the Sabbath, just as there is a rhythm in every musical phrase. Your breathing in the melody balances the message in the beauty of the sounds. Breathe deeply. Sing sweetly. Sing boldly the words that you are given as you are healed again today.

In the dark of my hotel room, my beautiful wife does sleep.
I write to you of His love delivered to your spirit deep.
I sing within my inner man and throw open wide the door
To your new and healthy life that each day you will know more.

He breathes - I breathe - You breathe - We breathe

Since last I wrote, I sat with Chuck Vollmer - a former partner at Booz Allen and formerly of General Dynamics - he flew 130 missions in Viet Nam and he has been all over North Korea at the invitation of the Premier. In addition to that he has been to Abu Dhabi 50 times and has friends from around the world that bring insight and information to him and then to us by way of our friendship with him that I find valuable to the 10th power. In that same meeting JiNan Glasgow, CEO of Neopatents, an Intellectual Property Law Practice, shared her view on the way organizations are forming and she was extremely excited about the shape and the vision of PVN. We drew pictures on napkins and spoke of exchange and accountability. We talked about creating a world where all men have access - where everyone is truly given an opportunity to win. And then she gave me a book - Starfish and Spiders or something like that and for some reason I woke up at 4:30 this morning and read all 221 pages.

Oh, and between 7 and 10 last night I worshipped in song and then listened to Kenneth Copeland minister powerful truths from the word of Yah.

He began in John 16:13. He spent time in Genesis 1, John 1 and in Isaiah 51. Psalm 112 was also a part of the platform that he laid.

I will show you things to come. Yahweh is the Word and the Word is Yahweh and it is the light and it is the life of men. All things are made by it/Him.

Word and thing have the same Hebrew word = Dabar. Dalet, beit, reish.
A Word spoken in faith will produce the thing. In fact, when you have the word you have the thing, but for faith and patience.

Dalet is a wonderful letter and one must always remember that the Word - the Hebrew language - is alive. It is the DNA of Creation. It is the code that causes all things to take shape and when Yah is in the midst of them, they increase. It is when we attempt to take Him out that we can still build through the power of His system but we cannot maintain or sustain that which we build. ‘Unless Yahweh build the house, we will labor in vain that build it.’

Dalet is the number 4 - it represents the 4 seasons and the four winds and it is a letter that is bent over representing the servant or the poor man who carries anothers burdens.

Lamed is the number 30 and it is the tallest letter in the Hebrew Language. It’s power is in the fact that we are reminded to continually learn. this learning allows those of us created in the image and likeness (in seed form or potentially) to learn by following His instruction to be like Him, love like Him, shed light like Him and to provide like Him. This letter reminds us that we need to be connected both to heaven and to earth and that everything that is learned must be applied. Learning without application is wrong. Words that don’t become things is not right. Faith without action falls flat.

(I don’t know why I wrote about the Lamed as it is not part of the word Dabar. However, I will point out that the Dalet has three letters that make up it’s nature. Just as you are the product of your mother, your father and Yahweh. The Dalet is not one dimensional or fixed. Just as a jewel reflects varying lights as you turn it, the living word will do the same as you change - you will see things differently and as you look at the word from different applications you will see more and more wondrous things.)

The beit is the number two - when you see this letter - know that this is the letter that Yah chose to begin Torah - the instruction. It is a house and through his house and for his house - us - shall he bring the blessing and creation in to being. Be - Hayah ing. This is also the first letter for the word son or daughter.
In fact Bar is son and in the word for word and the word for thing is the word for Son. So a word is a creation of the speaker of that word and it is to be cherished as a son.

The reish is a turning. This turning has in it the innerworkings of the seed. It is the reflection of the intention or the imagination of the speaker. Reish implies choices and you can turn a word for good or for evil. This is where the Scripture is so important as it has been intended for good. You may use words for intentions but the word will search out the intentions of your heart. The number of the the reish is 200.

Where is the practical application? You must ask that for yourself. For me, I am going to write the vision that Yah has given to me. I am going to purpose to be well intentioned toward all that He would have me help. I am going to purpose to listen and to include all that would choose to collaborate. You could collaborate with me by commenting on this post.

And yes the numerical value of the word for word/thing is 206. This reduces to 8 when you add the three digits together. 8 implies new beginnings - it speaks to the joining as under the wedding canopy and it also speaks of a bridge - where you bring people from new insight and new revelation to new application which puts you in touch with new and valued people.

This was just out of the abundance of my heart this morning for you. Ahava…
