Spiritual DNA 1

Greetings in Yeshua's Name!

I'm here to testify that The Lord answered the prayers I had up to Him last week. Did He answer them the way I wanted/expected? Absolutely NOT. But, He came through in the clutch and that's what matters. It's like Prince always says, "It doesn't matter HOW God works, just so He works." And He worked. I mean He didn't miss a beat. 😃

Yesterday (Sunday 5/6 so actually two days ago), the enemy brought some drama to me and put me in a precarious situation. I fussed for a bit and then enlisted the usual suspects to pray. I'm quite amazed at the maturity I've come into of late as I look at my behavior about it. I went from defensive to irritated to whiney to reflective to Kingdom-minded to expecting to thankfulness. And wouldn't you know God met my expectation - actually exceeded it - and favored me greatly with the people involved to boot.

It's totes awesome to have dominion over time. Witness. If you struggle with time - insomnia and always being late are common markers - I recommend you get your timeline healed. Working with time as an asset instead of a hindrance to your daily life is game changing. You'll never have to say you didn't have time or there aren't enough hours in the day ever again. 

When you have dominion over time, it becomes pliable. Since achieving this in my own life I've been able to compress and extend time based on need. I've been able to arrive at key moments to make the most of occurrences and resources. It's quite remarkable.

But that's just some testimonies. This post is actually about spiritual DNA so let's shift gears. Which may not be so easy for those of you who are left brain dominant and aren't used to turning on a dime.

I had a phone call yesterday with my sister girl in which we discussed a recent dream. She was wondering how it related to what God wanted her to do. My suggestion was to spend some time seeking Holy Spirit so that He could show her her spiritual DNA. 

Having El-ohim, The Creator God, show you the bits and pieces of who you are when He imagined you is powerful. The Lord began showing me my spiritual DNA last fall and, not to overuse the term, it was literally game changing.

Here are a couple things I learned about myself from seeing my spiritual DNA (you may already familiar with these if you've been reading here or on Ztv the past few months OR if you've been with me for a number of years): 

• God created me as a runner. I didn't start running until my senior year in undergrad (1997), and I started running because I'd gained that freshman 15 three years prior but I was determined NOT to take it with me upon graduation. I do not enjoy working out indoors, being stuck in one place. I totally fell in love with running and am now a 21-year veteran. The Lord showed me that HE put the desire to run in my spirit when He created it. I thought I was a runner because it was the way could eat whatever I want and not get too fat. AKA I made it about me and exercising my ability to choose. But that's incorrect. I'm a runner because I was created with a motion anointing that has a larger Kingdom purpose. 
• God created me to walk with individuals. I'm a small-group person. Loyal and faithful to a few. I've never needed large crowds or groups to do anything. Big numbers seem great and sometimes seem necessary, but I'd prefer a small, faithful few than a hundred some-timey folks any day. That's a part of my spiritual DNA. God told me when I first began writing books and teaching courses, etc. that as long as I touched one person in a life-changing way with a product, He was satisfied. That's why when I put stuff out I shoot for 10s, I shoot for 20s. I don't need 100 people to sign up because I can't reach 100 people's hearts the way I can reach 10 people's hearts and minds. I like small groups so I can walk with those same people for years and see them go through consistent Kingdom transformation. Again, I thought it was just me, just who I am, to not need a lot of friends or followers. Again that's incorrect. God created me with a deliverance anointing for the 20% or fewer believers who'll actually seek deep truths such as their spiritual DNA. And honestly, it's more like 3% because it's hard work; to be blunt we're a lazy Body of Believers in this generation. That's why the ZM7 academy courses only take 7 learners at a time. That's about as many as I can reach in a week.

I hope this has you thinking. And seeking. And asking The Lord questions about who you are authentically. People love to talk about destiny and purpose, but I've yet to see a teaching on spiritual DNA, and without knowledge of your spiritual DNA you're gonna have a hard time trying to reconcile your actual life with your God-ordained destiny. Witness. Let's pray.

El-ohim, Creator and Sustainer of all things, we honor You and the profound investment You made in knitting each of us together. We confess and repent of everything about our original design that we've dishonored or devalued. We reject and disagree with anything about our original design that others - including parents, teachers, bosses, friends, authority figures, etc. - disallowed or criticized. We repent of not seeking You to receive the blueprints of our original design sooner in life. We plead The Blood of Yeshua over these sins and nail them to The Cross of Christ. We receive Your forgiveness and declare we're the righteousness of God in Christ. Thank You for this new work You've begun in us. Amen. 

Don't forget to register for my upcoming course Principles vs. Strategies which will be delivered to email inboxes May 23, 2018, and for #SY5779 Supernatural Harvests in Pasco, WA October 20, 2018. Remember I'm a small-group person so there are truly limited spots. It's not just a marketing ploy. I want to be able to connect with every attendee and get them some deep deliverance in this year of harvest.
