Crystal Wade writes to help people connect to their Heavenly Father. He has suffered a huge, generational public defamation campaign. Many of His own children have suffered and don’t have many “good” pictures of their Heavenly Father. She writes to keep good pictures of your Heavenly Father visible in true stories as well as in prophetic words and teaching. Focusing on the pain doesn’t get you anywhere; she had been stuck there herself; however, intentionally focusing on the true, good stories of your Heavenly Father and learning how He does things, even if it is through other people’s stories at first, will get you where you want to go. Further, Crystal and her husband Stephen received a commission from the Father to connect the generations to Him and to each other so that they can: Start well. Live well. Recover well. Build well. Finish well. As part of that commission, they release materials to assist people of all ages in connecting to The Perfect Parent—your Heavenly Father. Website: HopeStreams.net

Departures and Arrivals — Hope in the Transition – A Word by Crystal Wade

Crystal Wade
Email: [email protected] grief. . .

Many in the Body of Christ are experiencing grief over the loss of loved ones.

Grief hurts. And it is a process, with stages, which takes some time to move through.

Over the past few years, the Father has called many of His experienced fathers and mothers (and husbands and wives) home to Heaven. Their absence is a crater–and it hurts.

. . .three perspectives. . .

How this looks to the Father, to those who have gone home, and to us are three different perspectives.

The Father placed eternity in the hearts of men and so the vision they carried preceded their lives, directed their lives, and succeeds their lives. They are in our day just like the Hall of Faith-ers in Hebrews 11. Still living by faith when they died. Not having received their promise on earth. Because the Father planned something greater—which could only be fulfilled by us, their successors, picking up the baton, finishing our race, and then handing off our batons.

First, from the Father’s perspective, as He is a generational covenant-keeping God, their leg of the race was complete. He is, however, touched with the acute feelings of our griefs. Grief is such a heavy burden that Jesus even carried it for us, specifically, at the Cross. We do have to come to Him with our burdens of grief to receive His help there. He’s ready to take them, if we will but come to Him with those loads.

There is still a physical process we have to walk through with the acute grief (the natural process is through the seasons of one year), but the load will be lighter—and we will receive comfort in real time–as we open the door of our hearts, and say “yes, I allow You, Lord, to carry this for me.”

Second, from our fathers and mother’s and loved one’s perspective now in Heaven, they still hold the hope of their promise, which hinges on us and the next generations fulfilling our parts in the Lord.

Third, from our perspective, if we had to walk with them through the valley of the shadow of death or if their departure was abrupt, we have grief and trauma.

I walked with my own dad through the valley of the shadow. One day, while those past memories replayed in my mind, the Father interrupted me, saying, “It is over. He has no more suffering.”

Our memories of that time are real, but they need to be reconciled. Father has sent His angels to chauffeur our loved ones Home, and they are safe, and without pain.

He is sending His word to release us of our painful memories from the valley of the shadow, or from the shock of their abrupt departure, so that we can move forward with Him.

. . .to honor. . .

Some years ago, after I’d just finished a presentation honoring my husband’s grandfather, I had a dream. In the dream, I saw articles inside a castle that my great-grandmother placed there. At the end of the dream, I heard the Holy Spirit say, “He (she) who honors his (her) parents and grandparents gets the generational blessing.”

What good news! The action on our part of honoring the lives is the trigger that activates the generational blessing from them in the now for us. (Generational blessings are heavenly currency stored up by the faithfulness of those in our families. When they are activated in our lives (by honor), they cause a chain reaction on earth which translates to physical events, supernaturally driven, that open doors to our specific callings with greater ease (think Eliakim, Isaiah 22:22-24).)

If there’s a difficulty honoring due to pain of great trouble or toxicity, come honestly to the Father.

The truth is—not everyone completed their purpose in their generation. And this makes it harder for the next generation. That’s not our Father’s plan, but it is a reality.

The highest truth here is that the Father had faith in YOU, sending you to the family that He did, with all its broken down walls and lost inheritances, because YOU and HE together are enough to accomplish your part. And it may be a lot harder than other people’s situations.

Honor the Father for His eternal purpose in your family—it may be buried under toxicity, but it is there. Otherwise, you and I wouldn’t exist. Families that were so completely toxic were, by the hand of the Father, removed in person and memory from the earth (think Jeroboam, 1 Kings 13:34). Every other family STILL here has hope and purpose!

. . .with hope!

The time comes to move forward to do the work to conquer the Promised Land.

The Father had already cued Moses to officially install Joshua in the office of national leader, or apostle. Then, Father called Moses home

Father is in charge of the times—the births and deaths of His people. Father called Moses home. Moses’ leg of the race was finished. It was Joshua’s turn to step forward.

From Joshua’s perspective, he knew he was no Moses, and so he stayed there, in grief, with the people.

So, Father came to him and said, “Moses is dead. Take courage and lead these people. I will be with you.”

Most likely trembling, Joshua stepped forward. The Father also stepped forward, putting him in a good light in front of the people, helping Joshua with strategy, causing him to renew his confidence.

Sometimes the Moses leaders are intentional and give a ceremony; sometimes like David they need a little urging to get their Solomon successors in place, and sometimes like Elijah they just keep on going, and it’s up to Elisha to follow hard.

However, it is the Father who is beginning and ending lives, and initiating successors (Ecclesiastes 3:1-2). That door swings on both sides. Father calls home a father or mother. He calls forward a son or daughter.

The fathers and mothers learned to know their God in the place where courage and risk and faith intersect–and grew strong. Now, the sons and daughters are being called to step into this place.

There have been big transitions and a growth period in the Body of Christ.

It’s been a transition with new leaders (sons and daughters) arising, like Joshua, to lead. And yes, we are not Moses. And yes, there is grief. And yes, He is with us. And yes, you and I are the very ones needed in THIS time.

Prayer response

Father, thank You for the mighty, faithful fathers and mothers and loved ones in Your family and ours who have chosen to lay aside their earthly rewards, harvests, and joys, to secure Heaven’s for their sons and daughters

Father we acknowledge Your love and sacrifice and theirs with deep thankfulness. The price is high. The purpose is great.

Father, we invite You to help us move through the process of our grief and reconcile. We invite You to release us from the shock and trauma down to the cellular level in our spirits, souls and bodies—and cause us to reverberate with Your peace.

Father, we ask You to cause us to recognize the extreme value of what we have received—and be unified, graced, and focused to make maximum impact in this strategic window. We give You freedom to work within us, healing the broken places, removing wrong roots, and centering us in You in the mighty name of the Lord Jesus Christ, amen.
