Stay Strong

In this day and age we can all use a little encouragement. Here is mine for today. Stay strong. When we face certain challenges, we must be willing to just hold on. Hold on to what? Hold on to YAH. If we truly believe that He is there for us, then we have a chance. It is our belief and our willingness to speak them and not stop believing them that gives us the strength and the path out. YAH has already established that He delivers His people. Stay strong. He did not bring us here to drop us on our heads. He brought us to wherever we are at today, each of us, so that we could accomplish the next thing. That has always been His plan.

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
12 Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.
13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
14 And I will be found of you, saith the LORD…

Be of good cheer, for Yeshuah has overcome the world. Just like He did for the children of Israel in this prophecy, so shall He do again for His people now.

Stay strong.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAHUAH! Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here, on earth as it is in heaven. Send me now Your provision. Forgive me my trespasses and transgressions, and help me to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me. Deliver me from the evil here, and the evil plans men have for me. Keep me from temptations YAH. I love You and want to serve You. You alone are my King. I love You. Send in the prosperity and the shalom that has been taken from me, and that sevenfold, for the enemy has been to the door. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

People Comfort People

Comfort is something sought by us humans. We want the chance to do things and get them done right. We want the chance to be heard. For the most part, we want to know that it mattered that we showed up. And we all want to be loved. I think maybe the reason we want to be loved is that we want to feel like we are worth being loved by someone. That adds to our sense of self worth in so many ways. The thing is, we already are loved by our Father in heaven, Yahuah.

1 John 7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
19 We love him, because he first loved us.

We see from John’s writing that God loves us. One of the ways people know that God loves them is because they see His love in us. We must love others. Our comfort actually comes many times by comforting those around us.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are my King. Praise the name YAH. Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here, on earth as it is in heaven. Send me now Your provision. Forgive me my trespasses and transgressions, and help me to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me. Deliver me from the evil here, and the evil plans men have for me. You alone are my King, and I am your servant O YAH. I love You. I love You. I love You. Send in now the silver coins and gold bars that You have revealed to me. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Simple Rest Today

Today I am enjoying the simplicity of resting and knowing that YAH loves me. It feels good to not have to always wonder where I am at in the world of things. Today, I am excited to hear that My God is still King! Praise YAH! And here is a scripture that is good today.

Psalms 100. A Psalm of praise.
1 Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.
2 Serve the LORD with gladness: Come before his presence with singing.
3 Know ye that the LORD he is God:
It is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, And into his courts with praise:
Be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
5 For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting;
And his truth endureth to all generations.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are my King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here, on earth as it is in heaven. Send me now Your provision. Forgive me My trespasses and transgressions, and help me to for give those that have trespassed or transgressed against me. Deliver me from the evil here and the evil plans men have for me. Keep me from temptations YAH. Send to me the silver coins You have shown me. I love You. I love You. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Embarking

In an attempt to better understand the feeling I have when starting something, especially a new business venture, the title of this writing came to mind. When we embark on a journey, it has a certain majesty to it. So I looked up the definition just now, and I understand why it has this feel to it. It means to get onboard a vehicle like a ship or plane – something of substance. When we do that, we know we are in for a journey and an adventure. And that is where we are at today. Each day is like a vessel that we are entering to see where YAH is taking us that day. I am just seeing this as I am writing it. Each day has its own reason for being. Its job is to get us from the light, to the next light. We see that in the very beginning.

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

Evening here means dusk where the sun has set but there is still light to see. Morning here means the opposite time of day when there is the dawn before the sun rises. Day is the word for light. So the dusk, dawn, and daylight are all a part of the same thing, the same day. These are interesting developments to someone that has spent years in various belief systems, religious and non-religious. Today, and everyday, I am and will be embarking.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here, on earth as it is in heaven. Send me now Your provision. Forgive me my trespasses and transgressions, and help me to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me. Deliver me from the evil here, and from the evil plans men have for me. Move their hearts and minds YAH. Help me now my King. I love You. I love You. Show yourself strong on my behalf O King. I love You. I ask all these things of You my King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Gratitude State Of Mind

We have an opportunity to choose how each day begins. In my case, I choose my thinking and my speaking. These are very good places for me to begin. In former days, I thought that letting my mind drift was okay, that it did not matter. I was wrong. It may well be one of the most important keys to our well being. In the letter to the Romans Paul states that the renewing of the mind is what creates the physical body that is acceptable to YAH as a sacrifice. Sacrifices had to be “perfect” in that they were to be without spot or wrinkle. The older I get, the more important that is to me… LOL. All of this is to say, builders build on a foundation. The building is only as good as the foundation it is built upon.

Psalms 107:1 O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good:
For his mercy endureth for ever.
2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so,
Whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;

21 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness,
And for his wonderful works to the children of men!
22 And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving,
And declare his works with rejoicing.
23 They that go down to the sea in ships,
That do business in great waters;
24 These see the works of the LORD,
And his wonders in the deep.

29 He maketh the storm a calm,
So that the waves thereof are still.
30 Then are they glad because they be quiet;
So he bringeth them unto their desired haven.
31 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness,
And for his wonderful works to the children of men!
32 Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people,
And praise him in the assembly of the elders.

40 He poureth contempt upon princes,
And causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.
41 Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction,
And maketh him families like a flock.
42 The righteous shall see it, and rejoice:
And all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
43 Whoso is wise, and will observe these things,
Even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.

This is where I want to be today. Thankful and grateful, and build my day from there.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are King. You are my King. I praise the name YAH! Praise the name YAHUAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here YAH, as it is in heaven. Send me now Your provision. Forgive my trespasses and transgressions, and help me to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Deliver me from the evil here, and the evil plans men have for me. Keep me from temptations YAH. My only hope is in You. I love You YAH! Let Your Spirit fill this place. Reign within me. Reign around me, O my King. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Good News Wins

Interesting these days, the waking up process is for me. YAH is teaching me to get out front and speak to the earth and times. It is a new place for me to be. I “take over” in my mind to establish what I want the day to be. And the old programs are out there, wanting to run in my brain. But realizing that the programs are what YAH is using to bring about change in the earth are that I impact, I know to take control of them now. And I know how. I am moving forward in my journey to be a person that is making a difference for YAH here in this planet, I believe. We will see how it turns out, or rather, others will see how it turns out. I am learning that I am to visualize it and make it go the way I want it to go. And the way I want it to go is according to the plan that YAH has for me, so it is the way He wants t to go. And here is one of the keys.

Proverbs 6:20 My son, keep thy father’s commandment,
And forsake not the law of thy mother:
21 Bind them continually upon thine heart,
And tie them about thy neck.
22 When thou goest, it shall lead thee;
When thou sleepest, it shall keep thee;
And when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.

This shows the impact of keeping YAH’s commandments inside of us. Here is how David did that in his life, and the result of it. David tells us it is for anyone.

Psalms 1:1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners,
Nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD;
And in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
That bringeth forth his fruit in his season;
His leaf also shall not wither;
And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You are King! You are my King. Praise YAH! Praise the name YAHUAH! Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here, on earth as it is in heaven. Send me now Your provision. Forgive me my trespasses and transgressions, and help me to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me. Deliver me from the evil here and the evil plans men have for me. Keep me from temptations YAH. Allow me to know Your ways and walk in them. I love You. I love You. I love You. Let the gold bars come in seventh month, plentifully O my King. You are my King! I ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

You Can Win

To all my fellow believers out there, I am reaching out to you to say that I understand how rough it can be in the mind. I understand that the thoughts we face everyday can seem overwhelming. I understand that you are searching for an answer. Today, I want you to know, you can win. You can win the battle in the mind. You can win over the voice that says that you cannot, that you’re not good enough, smart enough, attractive enough, or anything else. The mind is important and YAH gave you yours.

Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Allow me to paraphrase. We are to give all of our physical being to God. We are not to be patterned after the times, but be changed (physical body, right?) by the renewing of the mind (making better thinking) so that we can show what is the good, acceptable, and perfect will of God. And all of this is focused on our physical being.

Clearly, the controlling of our mind is a key, or this would not appear in scriptures. And when we do it, the result is a physical body worthy of a sacrifice. Actually, this is the first time I am making this connection for myself. I am seeing that the mind is an even more important key to the victory manifestation than I ever thought possible. Praise YAH!

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are King. You alone are my King. Praise the name YAH! Praise the name YAHUAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here, on earth as it is in heaven. Send me now Your provision. Forgive me my trespasses and transgressions, and help me to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me. Keep me from temptations here. Deliver me from the evil here. Deliver me from the evil plans that men have for me. Let me know Your ways that I might teach them to many O YAH. I love You. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMasiach. Amen.

It’s Different Out Front

My whole life I have done things that I know how to do. Teaching was a good example of that. I learned to teach when I was in the Boy Scouts. Once I learned something, I would show to the other kids. This was true in school where I helped other kids learn things like math. It went away in Junior High and High School somewhat. But as I returned to college, there was the encouragement to teach again, to get a Masters, and become a professor. All of that said, I never saw that as doing something “out front” like creating a business opportunity. And yet, in many ways, it was the same thing. Today, as I am moving forward to create that out front presence, I am reminded that now I really am more prepared, because these days I am earnestly seeking to please the Father, to learn His ways, and to do them. What I know is, my Father has placed me here in the things I. am doing now. He has made it possible for me to learn and understand these things. Now I will do them and teach them. I have more opportunities to follow Him this way. And as I follow Him, He teaches me the truths of His ways, and prospers me and the work of my hands.

Joshua 1:7 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.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are my King. Praise the name YAH! Praise the name YAHUAH! The name above all names is given to my Mashiach Yeshuah. Yeshuah HaMashiach has become Yahuah. Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here, on earth as it is in heaven. Send me now Your provision. Let it overflow to those I do and do not know, that all men would see, that its You that cares for me. I love You. I love You. Forgive me my trespasses and transgressions, and help me to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me. We need You here, O m King. Keep me from temptations, and deliver me from the evil plans that men have for me. Send me quickly the wisdom and prosperity, and the gold bars, YAH, the gold bars. I love You. I love You, my King. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Willing To Receive

This morning I had a very interesting thought come to me. In order to be comforted, we must be willing to receive the comfort. That may seem pretty simple to say, right? How many of you know someone, maybe yourself, that has a difficult time receiving anything from anyone? I know I am on that list to a certain degree. I make myself “unavailable” to receive from others. For many years, I have been the giving person, largely to my family. Sometimes they perceive this as me only being interested in money. What they fail to realize is that I was the only one between them and naked, homeless starvation. So during my lifetime I have worked so much to get my kids into a place to not be overwhelmed. And I am still working to that end. But, we all would do better to be willing to receive comfort from our Father, YAH. He loves us, from forever to forever, including today.

1 Samuel 2:1 …My heart rejoiceth in the LORD,
Mine horn is exalted in the LORD:
My mouth is enlarged over mine enemies;
Because I rejoice in thy salvation.
2 There is none holy as the LORD:
For there is none beside thee:
Neither is there any rock like our God.
3 Talk no more so exceeding proudly;
Let not arrogancy come out of your mouth:
For the LORD is a God of knowledge,
And by him actions are weighed.
4 The bows of the mighty men are broken,
And they that stumbled are girded with strength.
5 They that were full have hired out themselves for bread;
And they that were hungry ceased:
So that the barren hath born seven;
And she that hath many children is waxed feeble.
6 The LORD killeth, and maketh alive:
He bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up.
7 The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich:
He bringeth low, and lifteth up.
8 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust,
And lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill,
To set them among princes,
And to make them inherit the throne of glory:
For the pillars of the earth are the LORD’s,
And he hath set the world upon them.
9 He will keep the feet of his saints,
And the wicked shall be silent in darkness;
For by strength shall no man prevail.
10 The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces;
Out of heaven shall he thunder upon them:
The LORD shall judge the ends of the earth;
And he shall give strength unto his king,
And exalt the horn of his anointed.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are my King! Praise the King! Praise the name YAHUAH! Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here on earth as it is in heaven. Send me now Your provision. Forgive me my trespasses and transgressions, and help me to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me. Deliver me from the evil here. Restore unto me the joy of my salvation YAH. Keep me from temptations. You are my King. You are my King! Restore unto me sevenfold all that has been taken or held back in any way, and the more besides. I ask al these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Resting But Learning

A question arises for me from time to time about the Sabbath, and what is “permitted” activity for the day. Perhaps just starting with that as the conversation is a good indicator that something is not right. That “something not right” in this case for me is my thinking, I suggest. I am better trying to understand what I am feeling about this. It is like, if I am looking for permission, then it is more of a have to rather than a get to. It seems to me that my relationship with YAH would be better served as a get to type of relationship. And it takes a mindset change to get there. For this reason, one thing I see the Sabbath as good for me is a time of learning and studying. If I am working in my. mind on making it better, to me, that is a big part of the Sabbath. Acknowledging YAH and becoming a better person. But, let me just say, I could be incorrect. Like You, I am just trying to find my way.

Genesis 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

I like to read this scripture when I think on this particular idea about the Sabbath because it is simple, and pure, and the first of its kind. Cool.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here, on earth as it is in heaven. Send me now Your provision. Forgive me my trespasses and transgressions, and help me to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me. Deliver me from the evil here. Keep me from temptations YAH! I need You! Restore unto me sevenfold all that has been taken or held back in any way from me, O King. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.
