I am Isaac,
called of Nineveh, not of strength but of tears.
I speak not from cathedral nor council,
but from the wilderness of holy unknowing,
where the soul is stripped of ambition
and clothed in mercy.
I was once hidden in silence,
teaching monks to weep over their thoughts,
not to conquer kingdoms.
Yet I speak now—through time, not pride—
because I see again the wounds of Christ
misrepresented as credentials,
and discipleship distorted into delay.
The Church has taught her children to obey
but has forgotten to teach them to trust.
She has hidden the crown of authority
beneath robes of control and ritual fear.
Now the Spirit stirs again.
Not to destroy, but to awaken.
The Church has taught her children to obey
but has forgotten to teach them to trust.
And so I, though long buried,
speak with the voice given me
by the One who is ever broken and ever risen,
to declare what is now required:
a transference of authority
in the image of the Lamb.
A transference of authority
in the image of the Lamb.
✦ Against the Serpent of Control
See Luke 10:19, John 13:14–17
The Lord does not shout from the heights of power
but whispers from the wounds in His hands.
Authority is not seized,
but received—by those who have died to their need to appear strong.
Do not call authority
what has not passed through the furnace of self-emptying love.
Do not crown the one who has not first been crushed
by the weight of the God who bends low to serve.
✦ Against the Scorpions of the Sanctuary
Woe to the scorpions who dwell in pulpits,
who strike in the name of correction,
but poison the soul with fear.
Woe to the serpents who guard their hierarchies
as though the Spirit were their servant,
forgetting that the wind of God blows through caves, not palaces.
The Son of God gave us authority not to conquer men,
but to walk unharmed through the venom of false religion,
and to call even its keepers back to love.
The Son of God gave us authority not to conquer men,
but… to call even its keepers back to love.
✦ The Path of Transfer
Now, I say: let the veil be lifted.
Let those who were trained to receive blindly
begin to walk in the full weight of their inheritance.
Let them be sent—not by the trembling of systems,
but by the voice that says, “You are mine, and I trust you.”
The one who is childlike shall carry the sword of discernment.
The one who has wept alone shall speak with thunder.
The one who has been crushed by empire
shall rise as a stone rejected, yet chosen.
I, who have dwelt in silence, declare:
this is the hour not of ambition, but of awakening.
Authority shall pass not through titles, but through trust.
It shall rest not on platforms, but on presence.
Authority shall pass not through titles, but through trust.
It shall rest not on platforms, but on presence.
✦ To the Sons and Daughters of the Church
O you who were kept sheltered too long,
come now and receive what was always yours.
O you who were kept sheltered too long,
come now and receive what was always yours.
But hear me well:
you do not take this mantle to exalt yourself.
You take it to wash feet.
You do not wield it to build towers,
but to become a temple of the Lamb,
who walks through walls not to impress,
but to breathe peace.
✦ Benediction
So I say, as one unseen:
Take up the authority that flows from communion,
that was purchased not with silver,
but with blood.
Let the serpents recoil.
Let the scorpions lose their sting.
Let the children of the Kingdom walk as flame—
burning with love,
and bearing the Name.
Amen.
And amen.
