FOR A DESOLATED GENERATION OF BOYS & MEN
FOR EVERY BLESSED...Privileged and ‘normal’ brotha and sista who has been given a name and legacy by their biological fathers…don’t judge me or others like me too harshly because you don’t understand this 'kind' of overcoming~~~
In being a decent BEREAN [studier and divider] of God’s WORD 'i' found one very interesting spiritual and physical 'DYNAMIC' in regards to boys and men; when there exists a breached OR absent relationship between a father and his son(s) it is always an open door for a 'curse of desolation'...
In being a decent BEREAN [studier and divider] of God’s WORD 'i' found one very interesting spiritual and physical 'DYNAMIC' in regards to boys and men; when there exists a breached OR absent relationship between a father and his son(s) it is always an open door for a 'curse of desolation'...
He is a 'vagabond', a FOREVER nomad in a strange and stranger land...Where he is always ‘seen as’ the illegal alien seeking refuge in someone else’s tent. No matter the degree of achievement, physical prowess or intellectual acumen he can never truly rest, as that 'man-child' is liable to get evicted at any time…
WHY?
Because he knows [in the deepest regions of his eternal soul] he simply has no deed, title or even lease to anything...including himself.
With a blank, nameless birth certificate, a signature on any dotted line is worthless because HE remains untraceable!
With a blank, nameless birth certificate, a signature on any dotted line is worthless because HE remains untraceable!
The "MANCHILD" simply...just exists.
Though physically present, the absence of lineage and legacy leaves him devoid of proper affirmation, respect, standards AND accountability and this is where it gets progressively tragic!!!
________
Left with fewer and fewer options...
The 'manchild' can become a 'slave' to this realm and system...giving up his remaining GOD given ‘inalienable’ rights to either the first:
a.) Spiritual landowner that promises him some relief and protection from the outside elements....[Demonic spirits of lust, anger, pride, hatred, rebellion...and the list goes on]
...and/or...
b.) Physical landowner that captures and incarcerates him...[prison, drug addictions and/or THE MORE PREVALENT surrendering of one's GOD ordained masculinity to a woman OR something else...]
THE OTHER OPTION?
Becoming the proverbial 'BARBARIAN'...
TAKING...by any means necessary, things that never belonged to him in the first place. Consuming what he wants or needs [in that order...] AND burning the rest down to the ground and moving on with just the clothes on his back, to the next fertile feeding place of refuge…a place of constant warfare...devoid of any semblance of peace.
Either way sooner or later through an incremental loss of hope in the face of rejection, one day ‘hope’ is lost altogether.
And in that place of hidden 'iniquity' of the heart [that CAN be passed down generationally] he/we become something worst than a beast; whereas animal instinct is based on needs, human instinct is based on desire and when left 'unchecked' desire is a black hole that consumes everything including 'light'...until it turns on itself...death.
I know this too well.
This was almost how my story ended, but now [because of Christ alone] it is one of the best chapters of my own GENESIS STORY and TESTAMENT of CHRIST'S MERCY, PASSION and GRACE.
_______________
In this 43 year 'discovery' of how to recognize and rise above an assignment of rejection since birth, I was given this scriptural revelation that both exhorted and confirmed the many MEN like myself who were/are 'out to pasture' tending sheep when they are truly called to be
PRIEST, PROPHETS and KINGS
______
1 Sam 16:8-12 tells the historicity of the Prophet Samuel going to anoint the next King of Israel after Saul lost his right to the crown.
GOD sends Samuel to the House of Jesse. One by one, Jesse calls his sons to pass before Samuel.
The text reads as follows:
Then Jesse called Abinadab and had him pass in front of Samuel. But Samuel said, “The LORD has not chosen this one either.” Jesse then had Shammah pass by, but Samuel said, “Nor has the LORD chosen this one.” Jesse had seven of his sons pass before Samuel, but Samuel said to him, “The LORD has not chosen these.”
So he asked Jesse, “Are these all the sons you have?” “There is still the youngest,” Jesse answered, “but he is tending the sheep.” Samuel said, “Send for him; we will not sit down until he arrives.” So he sent and had him brought in. He was ruddy, with a fine appearance and handsome features. Then the LORD said, “Rise and anoint him; he is the one.”
- Did you notice that Jesse picked all seven of his sons to pass before Samuel?
- Then when the parade was over, it was Samuel who had to ask, “Is there anyone else?”
- Jesse did not even offer up the name of his youngest son, David.
Can you imagine living in a household where your own father passes over you when the biggest opportunity of your life is knocking on your door?

Oh Beloved, have you ever been passed over...or worse abandoned...and that means EMOTIONALLY TOO?
As being 'emotionally abandoned" leads to the same lifetime of torment and confusion that short circuits the soul's own immune system...leaving both our will and emotions with little defense letting in the more fatal 'kind' of infections, parasite and flying insect to enter in that produce physical sickness and/or spiritual filthiness with little to no resistance.
But the incredibly GOOD NEWS and REMEDY IS THIS...
IT matters little what an earthly parent, leader or even friend thinks 'IF' they have abdicated their rights and resolve to protect and defend the human territory GOD entrusted to them...
Psalms 27:10 declares:
When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up.
GOD/YHWH has ALWAYS been the ultimate Father and Friend and He is the ONE who, at the end of all things, presents to you and I the most awesome privilege.
TO CHOOSE TO BE NAMED AFTER HIM!!!
-------------------
THE CREATOR HAS ALREADY CHOSEN YOU!
How AMAZING is The LIVING and TRUE GOD!
EPHESIANS 1:1-3 says it best:
Long before he laid down earth’s foundations, he had us in mind, had settled on us as the focus of his love, to be made whole and holy by his love.
Long, long ago he decided to adopt us into his family through Jesus Christ. (What pleasure HE took in planning this!) He wanted us to enter into the celebration of his lavish gift-giving by the hand of his beloved Son.
To be told anything else is a straight and complete lie from the heart of hell!!!
LET ME TRY AND BREAK THIS 'GOOD NEWS' DOWN TO ITS LEAST COMMON DENOMINATOR...
In a moment and twinkling of an eye, by signing what the world calls a worthless name on the adoption papers already prepared and registered by ABBA FATHER AND whom's opinion truly is the only one that eternally matters...
The most amazing thing happens!!!
- Instead of a slave, we are PROPHETICALLY announced as full-fledged citizen of a royal lineage!
- Instead of a barbarian, criminal AND/OR most wanted felon, we become a judge and juror(another teaching!!!).
- Instead of a VAGABOND, we become more than a landowner, we are listed as a co-heir and occupier in training....destined to conquer and rule over territories...
_____________________
John 1:12 says: But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God,
This is the TRUE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST!!!
It is the RECONCILIATION OF VAGABOND...LOST SONS [and Daughters...] back to ABBA FATHER and a HEAVENLY FAMILY THAT IS OUR TRUE HOME AND FINAL DESTINATION as it was in the BEGINNING.
AbrothasMinistry can only hope and pray this humbled perspective stirs ministers and ministries that have forgotten this BASIC MESSAGE AND KINGDOM REVELATION OF SIMPLE GOSPEL RECONCILIATION!!!PAST CHURCH RITUALS AND SUNDAY BEST PERFORMANCES TO TRULY HELPING TO SAVE A TORMENTED AND DYING WORLD FROM THE MISERY AND DESOLATION OF THE GENERATIONAL CURSES OF MISSING PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL FATHERS AND THEIR REJECTED SONS AND DAUGHTERS---
____________________________
TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS INCREDIBLE DIVINE OFFER---
Which means [first] a HOLY SPIRIT led 'revelation' of our wrong AND a deep sorrow/conviction and turning away from living in a way that hurts the HEART OF OUR FATHER...things HE calls 'sin'.
BELOW are the clear and spelled out conditions for the legal and binding ETERNAL agreement with OUR FATHER in HEAVEN [YHWH] and humanity:
Romans 10:9-11 KJV:
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. 10. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
-------------------
NOW BOLDLY enter in to your new home, walk around and explore your new settings...you have 66 BIBLICAL rooms and two floors called the OLD and NEW TESTAMENT...THIS IS OUR INHERITANCE !
YES and AMEN!!!
---------------------------
(Romans 8:38,39 KJV)
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
