There are seasons when counsel becomes essential, not for comfort, but for governance.
Not every decision is formed on the ground. Some are shaped from the throne.
In this teaching on The Spirit of Counsel — the Green Flame of Divine Strategy and Relational Intimacy, I open a dimension of the Holy Spirit that governs movement, timing, and authority. This is not counsel as advice, but counsel as heaven’s strategy released into time.
We are entering the green realm of counsel—the place of intimacy where strategy is conceived before it is enacted. We explore counsel as something that flows from the secret place and the divine council, where sons and daughters are trained to perceive what has already been decided in heaven. We look at how priestly discernment has shifted from external instruments to internal union, and how the Spirit of Counsel forms kings and priests who rule from rest, not urgency. This session establishes counsel as a throne-derived intelligence that shapes decisions, conversations, and direction with quiet authority.
In Part Two, that I will be releasing before December 30th, we will move from intimacy into throne-sight and governance. This is where counsel is revealed as the mind of Christ operating in real time and discerning accurate doors rather than merely open ones, and assignments rather than opportunities. We examine how counsel governs timing, restrains premature movement, and exposes forbidden paths as acts of divine protection. We move into corporate and apostolic dimensions of counsel, where decisions affect families, cities, and future generations, and where heaven’s strategy must be carried with precision.
In this second session, we also address counsel in warfare—not striving, not reaction, but strategy formed in alignment. We explore how the Spirit of Counsel functions as a gatekeeper of voices and influences, how He speaks through dreams, impressions, and divine warnings, and how to recognize counterfeit counsel when intelligence is present but the Spirit is not.
This teaching is for those who sense that this season requires more than momentum. It requires alignment, wisdom and counsel. This next season summons us to move with throne-sight.
