In a world that is increasingly fake, uniqueness a

In a world that is increasingly fake, uniqueness and the ability to be known by something deeply personal, such as your name, is important. This seal says “House of Fewell”. Because as we move into the times ahead, you’ll be known in your community by which “house” you’re from (I’ll write about this more soon). Not just your family name, but the house of Yahweh.

So, I thought I’d start a new family tradition. Bring back the signet and wax seals.

Two people can both tell you they have “poor circu

Two people can both tell you they have “poor circulation” and need completely different herbal approaches.

One may be pale, chilly, sluggish, have cold hands and feet, prefer warm food, and feel considerably better when the weather warms.

Another may flush easily, run hot, dislike summer heat, become restless when overheated, and notice inflammatory complaints worsening with warmth.

The complaint may be the same, but the pattern is not.

In traditional Western herbalism, Heat/Excitation represents excessive activity. We may observe warmth, redness, flushing, irritation, restlessness, a more active pulse, and blood tending toward the surface.

The herbal direction may include cooling, calming, relaxing, or moderating herbs such as yarrow, rose, lemon balm, hibiscus, hawthorn, and elderflower.

Cold/Depression represents insufficient activity. We may see pallor, cold hands and feet, sluggish peripheral circulation, low energy, slower digestion, worsening with cold, and improvement with warmth or movement.

Here we may consider warming and stimulating herbs such as ginger, cayenne, rosemary, cinnamon, angelica, and historically sassafras.

But this is where herbalism requires more than matching symptoms to herbs.

Cold hands do not automatically mean Cold/Depression. Tension and constriction can also restrict blood flow to the extremities. Likewise, heat can exist alongside stagnation.

One symptom does not make a tissue state.

Instead of asking:
“What herb improves circulation?”

Ask:
"What is the blood actually doing—and why?"

Is the person hot or cold? Tense or relaxed? Stagnant or moving freely? Dry or damp? Depleted or robust?

Once we understand the direction of the pattern, we can begin choosing herbs much more intelligently.

Part Two of my "State of the Blood" series is now available inside the Homestead Herbalist membership.

America’s 250th birthday. 9/11 was 25 years ago.

America’s 250th birthday. 9/11 was 25 years ago.

We have entered the Hebrew calendar year of 5787. And we are headed into 2027.

Two very important cross overs in our history right now.

The number 25 means “grace upon grace”.

The number 7 means “completion”.

The numbers 9 and 11 mean judgement. They were important in history long before now.

This isn’t numerology, it’s history. God is a God of numbers—from the beginning of time.

Friends, prophetically speaking, I believe we are headed into a final year of “grace upon grace”. This era we have been in is closing—coming to completion. And a new era is about to open.

I keep sensing in my spirit “make 2027 count”. And I would be saying this with a loud horn if I could, from the mountain tops.

Whatever it is you’ve been procrastinating on—MAKE 2027 BE THE YEAR you stop waiting, procrastinating, or being lazy about it.

What lies on the other side is not something many will expect. Nor are many ready for.

The realms are shaking. And whatever is not of Yahweh will be shaken once more. In every way.

He is for us, He is with us, and He will guide us.

Make it count.

“Now there was a famine in the land…” That’s how

“Now there was a famine in the land…”

That’s how Genesis 26 opens, and I couldn’t get past it. Famine is a topic Yahweh has brought to my attention over and over these last few years, and as a watchman, I take note. So I sat in this chapter. It isn’t a story about scarcity. It’s a story of sustainability and favor.

In the middle of a famine, Isaac planted crops and reaped a hundredfold the very same year. His flocks, herds, and household grew so large that the Philistines envied him. They filled his father’s wells with dirt. And King Abimelek finally told him, “Move away from us; you have become too powerful for us.”

Isaac wasn’t powerful because of armies or gold. He was powerful because he could sustain his household. His wealth was the riches of the earth: food, livestock, linen, trades, and skills. He didn’t need a king to take care of his family. He did that with the help of Yahweh.

And that has always intimidated the kingdoms of this world.

Wells weren’t just water. They were a claim to the land. Filling in Abraham’s wells tried to erase his family’s inheritance. Isaac dug them back open.

Peace didn’t come at the first well, or the second. It came at the third, Rehoboth: “Now the Lord has given us room and we will flourish in the land.” Settling took patience and maturity.

Favor didn’t mean skipping the work. Isaac still had to dig, plant, and do his due diligence.

The same king who sent him away came back asking for a treaty, because they “saw clearly that the Lord was with you.”

When God rests the favor of sustainability on a people, the world takes notice. Some will try to squash it. Others will fear and reverence it.

Friends, this is the mission of the church. Not just physical sustainability, but spiritual. We are a sovereign people in the Kingdom of Yahweh, called to be a house of provision and refuge, a traveling Goshen in a hungry land. We don’t walk in fear of earthly kingdoms. We walk in the fear of the Lord.
He still shows favor on the Isaacs.
