Yom She-ni, Kislev 1, 6002 – November 20, 2017
Self Encouragement
It is good for us as believers to encourage one another. We are told in scriptures that this is a part of our charge.
Romans 14:19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.
We can also encourage ourselves. It is important to understand that we are a source of power for good and for evil to be unleashed in this earth. It comes in our thoughts, our speaking, and our action. If we align these with what our Father has spoken, then we become resonators of His image. Since we were created in His image, we will resonate with a greater intensity when we are aligned with Him. We can encourage ourselves in this regard by keeping His words in our mouths. This is something our Father, YAH, told many as we see recorded in the scriptures.
Joshua 1:6 Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.
7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.
8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
We can see here that YAH told Joshua that the way to stay positive was to meditate (mutter to yourself) the things that He had spoken to Moses. If he (Joshua) would do that then he would be able to stay on track and do them, and prosper in everything.
Today, let us all encourage ourselves.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise and bless the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here. Let Your will be done here. Send us now Your overwhelming provision that it might overflow to those around us. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Wipe away all thoughts and memories of evil done to us or by us. Heal our hearts and minds. Deliver us from the evil here. We need Your help to be more like You. Restore unto Your people one hundredfold all that has been taken or held back in any way that was good, whether relationships, land, monies, possessions, goods, gold, silver, precious metals and jewels, or any other thing. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We ask all these things of You, Father, in Your name YAH! Amen.
