10/15/2026

Dear Listeners,

I am writing to you from the annual Eclipse Intellectual Property Conference. Many of you know JiNan Glasgow George, the founder and CEO of NEO IP. Once again, she has overperformed! Woot!

After a remarkable day highlighting major technological developments, inventions, and innovations, we gathered for a second day around our faith. Founders, inventors, investors, entrepreneurs, and believers sharing what they are seeing, hearing, and creating.

Out of this gathering, we will be adding a few key people to our Gyroscope for the Soul — Listener’s Legacy community.

Things are speeding up in the heavenlies.

I strongly suggest that you lean heavily into your time with YHWH. He is steadily and calmly instructing all those who have ears to hear.

“Be still, and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10

Today, Day 288, we work our lenses.

HOLY SPIRIT — The Unseen at Work

“Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith YHWH of hosts.” — Zechariah 4:6

The Holy Spirit is not struggling to keep up with the acceleration around us. He is already present in what is coming. Our opportunity is to become increasingly sensitive to His instruction.

Acceleration does not require agitation. The Spirit can move powerfully while we remain at rest.

NEXT DOABLE STEP — Faith Has Feet

“The steps of a good man are ordered by YHWH.” — Psalm 37:23

We don’t need to know the next hundred steps. We need to recognize and take the next one. Sometimes that step is speaking. Sometimes listening. Sometimes making a connection. Sometimes doing nothing until instruction becomes clear.

Don’t confuse movement with progress or stillness with inactivity.

CALLING AND PURPOSE — Every Joint Supplies

“From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth…” — Ephesians 4:16

Yesterday I watched something beautiful. A room full of remarkable people, each carrying a different supply. No one person possessed the whole picture.

Vision and strategy were being harvested rather than decreed.

The Body of Christ is an extraordinary platform for creativity, innovation, and influence when everyone has a seat and every member is encouraged to bring their supply.

Your calling is not diminished by someone else’s greatness. Their supply may be precisely what enables yours to become fully expressed.

SELF-CONTROL — Strength Under Government

“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” — 2 Timothy 1:7

As opportunities multiply, so do distractions. Not every open door is our door. Not every invitation is an assignment.

Self-control is not the suppression of our gifts. It is the government of our gifts by the Holy Spirit.

We can be enthusiastic without becoming impulsive, courageous without becoming reckless, and influential without needing to control.

FORGIVE AND BE FORGIVEN — Formation, Not Transaction

“Forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.” — Ephesians 4:32

We have been considering Joseph and the formation of forgiveness. Joseph didn’t merely forgive his brothers. Forgiveness had become part of who he was.

Receiving forgiveness is more than having our past erased. It is allowing the nature of the Forgiver to be formed in us.

We cannot fully participate in what Yah is building while insisting on carrying yesterday’s offenses into tomorrow’s relationships.

Forgive. Be forgiven. Become forgiveness.

BET — THE HOUSE, THE BLESSING, THE CREATOR, THE SON

Bet is the second Hebrew letter. It pictures a house, a dwelling place. It begins Beresh*t — “In the beginning.”

“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” — Genesis 1:1

And the Son!

“For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.” — Hebrews 3:4

Consider the convergence of today’s lenses.

The Holy Spirit is building. Our next doable steps are building. Our individual callings supply what is needed for the building. Self-control protects the integrity of the house. Forgiveness preserves the relationships within it.

And the Son is the visible manifestation of the invisible God!

The house is not merely a building. It is a people, a dwelling place for His Spirit, a family of sons and daughters through whom His creative nature finds expression.

We are not simply watching the future arrive. We are participating in what our Father is building.

REST. TRUST. RECEIVE. CONCEIVE. DELIVER.

Breathe His Name. Yah-oo-ah. Yah-oo-shoo-ah.

Listen before you speak. Receive before you give. Discern before you move.

And ask yourself today:

What is the Holy Spirit building around me, what supply has He placed within me, and what is my next doable step?

There is no need to hurry what Yah is accomplishing. We can move at His pace even as everything around us accelerates.

Fully connected — fully expressed.

We win. Let’s play!

Much love,

Dan

Living the Resurrected Life

As I bow my head in prayer again today, I find myself to be filled with gratitude. YHWH has blessed me in so many ways, on so many occasions and He has taught me to expect to be blessed in the days ahead. As I pray for you, my predominant thought as I pray is that you, too, would be filled with deep gratitude and an earnest expectation that something very good is about to happen for you. Daily I ask, seek and knock. It is my continual prayer that “all of your needs be met according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” And as I pray this promise I am reminded that “there is no greater love” that I could show than to “lay my life down for my friends.” It is in this line of thinking, this line of prayer, that alignment with Jesus begins to occur. You see, that if it is my desire to love God, which is the first commandment, then, I must love people, which is the second commandment. And loving people requires focus. When you truly love someone their lives improve. Their lives get better. Burdens are removed. Yokes are destroyed and “goodness and mercy begins to follow them”.

“As a man thinks, so is he.” We really are what we think about. “We are to take every thought captive to the knowledge of Christ” and “we are to take no vain thought, saying.” Since God is love and since love will never force Himself upon us, then we must know that Love requires our permission. This is an incredibly lovely thought. It is a pure thought. There is virtue in it and there is praise and soon, for you,there will be a good report. When you realize that you have been given the ability, yea, the authority to think what you want to think, great freedom becomes available. There are two things that you must learn immediately following this revelation. 1). You learn that you must continually give God permission to love you, bless you, speak to you, guide you, heal you and protect you. 2). You learn that any powerless, toxic, angry, negative, shameful, guilty, condemning or blaming thought can be forbidden from your thought life. When they come, and they will, you just deny them access to your creative place - your thinking self.

As I work on these principles daily, I get better and better at choosing my thoughts. Scriptures begin to occupy my imagination more and more and the thoughts that I have begin to blend with the Word of God. As I am writing this and thinking of you, scriptural paraphrases begin to come to mind for you and I speak them out. You see, my imagination begins to see a bright future for you. In fact a “future and a hope” awaits you. You are the head and not the tail. You live above the circumstances and not beneath. Everything you put your hand to prospers. His word for you is a lamp unto your feet and a light unto your path and you are now coming to understand that to think this way makes you a tree planted by the river of living water. Others will be able to come and sit under the shade of this tree and drink this water as you learn to direct your thoughts, your emotions and, most importantly, your choices. You have come to give life and that more abundantly. This is my desire and soon it will be your desire.

As I laid down to sleep last night my mind was active. A song of praise and deep instruction were coming into my mind. Sleep should have been my focus, but the words of the song came to me as I closed my eyes.

Lord, I come to you with thoughts of praise
I’m not asking for anything other than you.
I’m not asking for wealth or favor or fame
I’m asking for far more. I’m asking for far more.

But first I must say that you have already given me more than I deserve.
I must say that you have opened my heart to see
You have given me a life beyond what I could have hoped for
And I have tasted a love meant only for me

My cup runneth over. My heart overflows.
My eyes water freely. My worship grows.
My hands are uplifted.
My head bows in praise.
My words are directed by you.

I hear the Lord say, “Ask away.” “I will teach you to ask correctly.” “And when you ask the way I teach you to ask, nothing will be withheld from you.”

These words began to come to me as I lay there on my bed. As they came I sang praises, even though it was more of a prayer. I felt as though I was praising, because I could feel His pleasure with the choices I was making. Solomon came to mind when he could have asked for anything and he asked for Wisdom. YHWH was pleased and said, “You have chosen the principal thing.” And the book of James came to me. “If any of you lack wisdom, ask for it and I will freely give it to you. I will not hold back.”

He will not criticize, rebuke or find fault in my asking. He will not upbraid me. It’s amazing how much of His word seems to come to me in such brief moments of time. In the middle of a song, in the middle of praise, He teaches and encourages me, guiding me with every thought and with every reason for every thought. And I grow and learn.

“Ask away”. He says.

Lord, I ask you for your love.
I ask you for your joy and your peace.
I ask you for long suffering, compassion and generosity.
Teach me to be faithful and teach me true humility.
I ask for self control.

And He says, “In this you are discovering Wisdom. You are discovering the Way and the Truth. You are beginning to walk in the risen life. You are asking for Me.”

Living the Resurrected Life requires that YHWH Yahshua reveal Himself to us. Understanding that heaven and earth are less permanent than His words helps us to make the choices as to what we should look at, listen to and think about. His word is the Secret Place. His Love never fails. His joy is beyond words and His peace truly passes all understanding and yet He will freely give them to us, but not without our permission. We must dialogue with Him continually. We must learn to say “yes” intentionally as we move from death to life. This “yes” that I speak of is to be part of every breath and at the beginning of every thought. What a wonderful change will occur when you give permission to this choice.

When I breathe in I am saying “yes” to my Creator and my Savior. When I breathe out, I am thanking Him for the next breath and my next “yes”. And this gives me the discipline, the ritual and the habit to know that I have authority over my thoughts and my feelings.

Yes

There is great power in giving permission. The Hebrew word for “yes” reveals this power. The two letters that make up the word “yes” are kaf and nun. Simply put, the kaf means to promote and the nun is the biblical concept of jubilee. The jubilee is an overflow of abundance. So, the truth is, yea, the truth being revealed to us is this, what we say “yes” to will be promoted in our lives and we will overflow with what we say “yes” to.

2024 is the year of perfected love. Love perfected casts out fear. There is no fear in love. When you fear, you are not walking in love - so resist fear. In fact, refuse fear. God is love. If you want to love God, then you must love Him with love and that Love is Him. You can’t love Him with a fallen facsimile of His love. You must love Him with His love, which you can only get from Him. How do you know when you have real love? When you are loving your neighbor, your friends and your enemies knowing that you cannot love YHWH, whom you cannot see, unless you are loving your brethren, whom you can see. How will you know when you are loving your neighbors well? When their lives improve.

It has been spoken that 2024 will be a year of doubling. In fact, your net worth will double. As I pray for you, I ask you to go to YHWH as I have on your behalf. The doubling you want is not just financial. It is spiritual, physical, mental, emotional, social and financial. Take stock. Give thanks. Sow seed and watch YHWH Yahshua bring the harves
