dalet (d) is a door.
The dor will be open to the select and elect of a generation- not to everyone.
Dor in Hebrew is a big word, so we have to spend some time looking at it.
dor is spelled, dalet (d) var (o) reish (r)
dalet (d) in Hebrew not only means poor, it represents a door post, a path, access, movement in and out, a pathway.
vav (0) represents the nail, a man, connection, joining, etc.
and the reish (r) represents man, headship,
Combined, these letters convey the message of access to, or movement toward headship, a path to headship… Regardless of which specific words we use, we arrive at the same understanding: door – connection – headship
Also, we must consider that what headship and leadership mean to us, is not the same thing as it means to GOD, according to His Language.
The earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
2 For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.
3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in his holy place?
4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
5 He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6 This is the DOR (generation) of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.
7 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
8 Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
10 Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.
What can the meaning be of revealing ten generations from Noah to Abraham?
The Rabbi’s say, it is to show us the extent of GOD’s patience and tolerance for man’s behavior. GOD will wait for His Abraham.
I’ve heard some others ask, “If GOD loves the world, why does he allow so much evil to occur. I may have said that, “Evils occur because of the things that we say, allow and do, mankind has dominion over the earth. Our first obligation is to take responsibility for our own actions” Or, I could respond, “GOD could have been awaiting for you or me to step up like an Abraham, a Sarah, a Joshua, a Deborah!…”
…patience, mercy, kindness and the love of GOD, to wait for ten generations for one like Abraham! This is what is being criticized. GOD had bigger plans than what they could even imagine.
One of the first teachings to be found in Pirkei Avot is, “The world stands on three things: Torah , service, and acts of loving kindness (1:2).
If this were not true, we would have been abandoned by GOD a long time ago. (Especially, if He had the tolerance level that we have).
GOD respects, trusts and keeps His Own Word, torah. GOD serves us, more than we have ever served Him. His acts of loving kindness are right there in the mirror, right in front of us… We are still here after thousands of years of provoking GOD. That’s incredible!
Imagine GOD standing behind you while you look into that mirror. All you see is you. GOD sees the spiritual potential inside of you that pleases Him. When he looked at Shem, he saw Abraham, and was willing to see past 9 generations in between, for Abraham to come forth.
I venture to say, that GOD looked at your great, great, great, great, great…. grandmother and father 10 generations ago and decided, the world would just have to hold on, until you arrived! No matter what the world cooked up in the meantime… We had to wait for you, the generation of the righteous, the one’s who would seek Him!
YOU are the evidence of ALL of His acts of Loving Kindness, Patience, Tolerance…
David prayed and GOD kept a promise to David, that He would not remove the Kingdom from Solomon–no matter what.
Is it conceivable that someone in your ancestry prayed and asked GOD to watch over their seed… because they believed GOD for Your Life? GOD was willing to endure whatever, whoever your bloodline produced in order for you to become? Is that possible?
What if someone had prayed… “LORD, if there is no good thing to ever come from their loins, cut off and destroy their seed from the whole earth!”
So here we are…all gathered at the dor, awaiting for the sons of GOD to be made manifest in your generation, in your house, your bloodline, in You!
Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
The entire time you were reading this, it may have sounded like I was just talking. But, while I was… I was praying for you.
You are a pillar in the House of GOD, a Gate Keeper. You are the seed or one of the seeds in your generational bloodline that sought GOD. You preserved the spiritual continuity of the bloodline. Not every one for able. You were. Not everyone could or can ascend to the Holy Hill, or stand in the Holy place. You desire clean hands and a pure heart, You desire to guard your tongue like your life depended upon it (because your spiritual life does). You will not lift your soul up to vanity or swear deceitfully. You my dear, are the mighty men and women of the Most High GOD.
Lift Up Your Heads, Oh Ye Gates and the King of Glory shall come in!

The Hebrew word that means “generation” is dor (dore).
We understand the word, generation in English to represent, “a body of living beings constituting a single step in the line of descent from an ancestor, or the average span of time between the birth of parents and that of their offspring.” (Webster’s Dictionary)
In Hebrew thought, ‘dor’ means something more than a biological line of ancestry, or a linear span of time. It is more than the continuity of a bloodline or DNA ancestry.
In Psalm 112:2, the scripture reads, “the generation of the upright shall be blessed”, the scripture is referring to continuity that is not limited to successive generations; grandparent, parent, child. This is about spiritual continuity, that might have to skip a few generations until another arises with the same spirit.
OUR WESTERN MINDSET TENDS TO TAKE OVER… and we can’t hear the scripture from the Hebrew at all. The meaning of ‘generation’ in English, is completely different than the meaning of ‘generation (dor)’ in Hebrew.
In a recent blog I wrote called, Connecting the Dots, we reviewed the genealogy of Shem (Genesis 11). In following the line of descent from Shem to Abraham, what we saw is the anointing transfer from Shem to Eber to Abram. The anointing did not pass “in single steps from ancestors to ancestor.”
The anointing may have to skip a few generations. The anointing has to be caught. If the next generation doesn’t want it, they don’t have to have it.
Some prefer a life of idolatry, sin, etc., like Ham, Canaan, Terah… and some of their sons.
The dor (generation) of the upright shall be blessed, that’s singular not plural. The blessing might not pass from dor to dor, the way we are accustomed to process the meaning in our minds. However, it will pass to the one in the generation who chooses to carry on the continuity of the blessing. Who will seek the anointing of GOD?
GOD will wait for a ‘dor’ to open, and the King of Glory shall come in!
Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly in His commandments.
Your seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
Wealth and riches shall be in your house: and your righteousness endureth for ever.
Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: because you are gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
A good person sheweth favour, and lendeth: they will guide their affairs with discretion.
Surely you shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
You shall not be afraid of evil tidings: your heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord.
Your heart is established, You shall not be afraid, until you see your desire upon your enemies.
You have dispersed, You have given to the poor; your righteousness endureth for ever; your horn shall be exalted with honour.
The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; they shall gnash with their teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
AMEN
I’m sure I have not said it enough yet, but words in Hebrew have far more depth than in any other language. Hebrew words have spiritual meaning, numerical meaning, symbolic meaning (pictographically), even the shape of each letter is significant. This means that we basically cheat ourselves out of the richness and depth of meaning, by viewing the Hebrew letters and words in such a common way as we do in English. It’s too linear, too narrow.
For instance, ‘dor’ is spelled with 3 letters, dalet (d) vav (o) reish (r) in Hebrew.
Spelled backward we have the opposite of dor, reish—vav—dalet (rey’d)
Dor means to move forward in continuity vs rey’d which means to go backward and decline. If the generation is not moving forward spiritually, all that remains open to them is spiritual decline. Grow or stay stuck and decline.
Your seed shall be mighty upon earth: is a promise made to those that choose to follow GOD, it’s not a promise to the world at large. They have to choose Him.
Not everyone in Shem’s line chose GOD.
The generation of the upright shall be blessed.
The generation of the upright, nurtures and grows spiritually, accepts the WORD, pursues it, and honors GOD. They continue the bloodline of the righteous.
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. 1 Cor 15:58
Amen.
There are a number of ways to maximize the anointing in your life. Simple and straightforward to explain, yet difficult to accomplish without a strong commitment to self-discipline.
For anyone that wants to increase the anointing over their life, they will have to equally increase their determination to die to self.
For those who have been in my classes, you will have heard me speak often of my bootcamp training days in the anointing (which really never stops). The biggest challenge for me was “not kicking against the pricks.” Of course, dying to self is the critical first step we all must accept, in order to place ourselves in a position to walk in the anointing.
The Yoke Shall Be Destroyed Because of The Anointing… Isaiah 10:27
I would think that most of our Pastors have labored to teach us the meaning of Isaiah’s message—learning to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit.
I’m fortunate enough to have had a grandfather who owned a farm, and I can remember him caring for the animals. Leading his ox by the plow took minimal strength from my grandfather, because his ox was so adapted to the work, he practically led himself.
Obedience is a fundamental standard for qualification.
It was only when I relinquished the reigns, that the anointing was able to flow in my life. In fact, this particular spiritual character flaw is the gage I use to assess whether or not I am resisting the WORD. Being willful and resisting instruction will cause us to miss out completely on what GOD is doing.
When I see my flesh getting in the way, I just stop and obey… I simply do, whatever it is I’m trying to resist doing. When I’m paying close attention, I can catch myself and stop myself from engaging in small infractions… which in turn, prevent disobedience from escalating.
Walking in the anointing means not resisting the small directional adjustments the LORD wants to make in our walk.
We each know when we are being willful, headstrong, defiant, difficult, etc. Just stop. Ask GOD for a better way. We each know enough of GOD’s Word, in order to be able to respond in a more excellent way, or at the very least, recognize the type of behavior that displeases GOD and stop.
Whenever we do what is personally difficult, but spiritually better for us and another person, that’s a small adjustment worthy of our time to make, in which we can then give honor GOD. In taking this simple small step in dying to self, you will protect the anointing on your life and on the lives of others.
Our relationship with GOD becomes the principle thing. What are we willing to do to please GOD and to preserve the flow of the anointing in our lives?
Have you set yourself aside for His personal use? This would mean that we use all of our GOD given talents and abilities for Kingdom purposes.
How can you serve the Kingdom of Heaven and lift the level of holiness?
Both our strengths and our weaknesses can be used for Heavens purpose. Our strengths can be used to advance the Kingdom of Heaven, our weaknesses will help us to rely on the Spirit of GOD.
Just a few more small measures we can take, to draw closer to GOD.
Another Black Panther has passed away. Once again, we weren’t ready. I know, It wasn’t your plan to leave us…. but still I felt a little cheated someway
News of our loss of you, came from across the room, it came like a bolt of lightning
I guess it had to snatch me out of hiding, where I’ve been secretly abiding, in a place I was not inviting -the world
So I’m reeling, because I’m seeing and hearing and feeling, another Panther dies, another light rising, another knight fighting for his life,
Another loss that will be forever with us, another side of grief that keeps us longing for the end of death, which is illegal by the way, That’s why we fight it everyday, it wasn’t supposed to happen this way, We were meant to live.
We wanted to pray for you, to place a command before Heaven for you, It’s what we were created to do, because GOD told us to,
He said, ” Concerning my sons and concerning the works of my hands, command ye me”
We would have commanded long life, we would have reached into the past with our prayers and bound all sickness and disease, we would have prayed until we had the release
Prayed… until your body remembered its first estate, until Heaven was opened by the sound of our faith
Prayed… until the future made room for our gift… your life was another one of our gifts!
We would have persuaded, negotiated, commanded it!
More time to see you reviving, thriving, living and not dying
More time for you to bring us close while you create, and motivate,
More time for you to bless and be a blessing,
More time for you to edify and encourage,
For all that you gave, we should have given, we should have nourished
Your soul, through prayer, with fasting and courage
To believe that nothing shall be impossible, because we believe
For every spirit you lifted, whether scripted or unscripted
We give thanks to GOD, that your gifts were shared with each one of us
We give thanks that your spirit existed, that we couldn’t resist it
To All the Black Panthers out there, I bless GOD for your life
I want you to live and not die,
I want you to thrive and strive, for much more than to survive
There’s so much goodness in you, that chases your greatness
In the final scene, on the this world screen
The Panther is not the enemy of the Panther,
Wakanda Forever!
For My Grandson…Because Judah roars for the Black Panther

We are steadily trying to obtain and maintain a place of consecration. Yet, in the midst of our focus on these priorities, we are constantly bombarded by more bad news…..,more wickedness, more injustice, more killings, baseless hatred and injustice is relentless. Evil invades our space.
Yet, we will persist and stand against it until the wicked devices our enemies are brought down.
Ref: ELUL, OUR 29 DAY BANQUET OF PRAYER… TO HONOR THE KING OF GLORY!
We will not be discouraged, we will not give up, we will not relent, we will pursue mercy and justice with every fiber of our being.
We who love the Lord and hate evil: GOD preserveth the souls of his saints; He delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.
Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.
We will rejoice in the Lord, and give thanks at the remembrance of His Holiness.
The right hand of GOD will gives us the victory! GOD will do marvelous things in our eyes, in this generation, for our sons and daughters, for our friends and neighbors, in my lifetime
The world will sing a new song, not one of death, destructions and hate. We shall sing of justice, mercy , love and truth.
We shall sing of the salvation of the LORD, how our brothers and sister saved from harm, the innocent, not proven guilty in the courts, shall not be tried and executed in the streets no longer.
The LORD has made known His Salvation, His Yeshua. His righteousness He has openly shown in the sight of the heathen.
He has remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel and the seed of Abraham: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.
Sing unto the Lord with the harp; with the harp, and the voice of a psalm.
6With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before the Lord, the King.
Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joyful together
Before the Lord; for he cometh to judge the earth: and we are His Ambassadors in the earth.
Poor leadership strangles the voices of righteous leaders, who sought to pursue their own gain, their own survival, while they use corrupt and legitimate authority of this earth to stifle, miseducate, and misdirect the public, who are too tired, too confused, too helpless, too hopeless, too distraught, too unbelieving or too believing for their own good. Perhaps, some are just too apathetic to manage their own government. Are they too fearful? or too complacent, too comfortable with corruption and compromise?
Those that had held their peace for so long, were detained at home by sickness and disease, which caused us to be home while Rome was burning, and they took to the streets in protest. Some to say, enough is enough. Some to say, they were being choked by baseless hatred and bigotry, so much so they could not longer breath. Some to say, I support this fight, it’s my fight. I choose to be a part of the solution, I refuse to stand by and just watch unrighteousness continue… and some to take aim and strike and stab under the cloak of darkness, to fuel hate and bitterness, to tear down and destroy– taking advantage of cries for justice to further their own ambitions to kill, steal and destroy.
Justice has been exchanged for prejudice, bias, and hate. Righteousness has been exchanged for corruption, integrity for perversion, decency for depravity.
The righteous feel outnumbered and overwhelmed. Some feel that prayer can not handle the weight of all of the suffering. Some feel that justice is overpowered by kindness, mercy, faith, love are not the weapons that we can use against this strain of evil. Some claim that love is but a mat used to welcome the oppressors and give them license for dishonesty, duplicity and guile.
Despite all this, we have seen good too, in the land of the living, LORD. We have witnessed genuine caring, compassion… intentional efforts to show love for another. The world is crying out for justice and mercy and peace… and our cries have created a shift toward thoughtfulness, consideration, reflection…
With righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity.
We will keep Your Testimonies, and the Word that you gave us.
You always answer us Lord and this will be no different, as we enter your gates with thanksgiving.
Your eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with You.
Remove the wicked from our land, cut off all the wicked doers from the city of the LORD.
Hear our prayer LORD, and let our cry come unto thee… Hide not Your face from us in the day when we are in trouble, incline thine ear unto us. in the day when we call, answer us speedily.
We stand the watch LORD, as a sparrow alone upon the house top.
The wicked come before us and fear the Name the LORD, and all the kings of the earth fear thy glory. Send Your Name before all the wicked of the earth that mean us harm and our children and neighbors harm.
Look down from Your Sanctuary, from Heaven and behold the earth. Hear the groaning of the prisoners and the innocents, and loose those that are appointed to death. Send angels to protect them from those that seek and/or take pleasure in seeking their life.
A flower in Your field… Yet, We Shall Flourish. We choose to rise to the full measure, and the full stature of Yeshua, Our LORD.
The children of your servants shall continue in the path of righteousness, and our seed shall be established before You.
We call forth repair, restoration, recovery, rectification, and restitution for Your People and their children’s children–generational protection and blessings,
Save their seed, restore justice to the land, protect us LORD, defend our right to pass through the Kings Forest.
AMEN.
