Feet Matter

Interestingly enough I started to write this and was pulled away. And I think that is the way of it, right? We have to live here and we also are to promote YAH’s kingdom here in this earth. It is not an easy thing, but it is a possible thing for us. At least I am convinced it must be possible for me. I serve the living and true YAH, and He does not let me down. But our feet do matter. Here is one scripture that discusses the what happens with the feet.

Proverbs 6:12 A naughty person, a wicked man,
Walketh with a froward mouth.
13 He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet,
He teacheth with his fingers;
14 Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually;
He soweth discord.
15 Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly;
Suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.

We see that this person speaks with their feet and teaches with their fingers. Where we walk is a declaration it would seem, and people learn from what we do. There are several scriptures that also talk about the feet and where we walk.

Joshua 1:3 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.

Here YAH was telling Joshua that where he walked was already given to him. When YAH gives us a promise to a possession, then that possession is ours when we “walk” onto it. In this case and others, it means to literally walk. Nahum also speaks of this.

Nahum 1:15 Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace! O Judah, keep thy solemn feasts, perform thy vows: for the wicked shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut off.

And Paul quotes Nahum in teaching about keeping the commandments.

Romans 10:6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)
7 or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)
8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

So we see that our feet help us to say and do the good news. The good news is keeping the feasts of YAH keep out the enemy, and destroy him from our midst.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are my King. I 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 sevenfold all that has been taken in my life O King. I declare it now. I ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Thankful For YAH’s Protection

This morning as I write this I think of the protection provided to me by YAH. It comes in several forms, I think. The first is that it is clearly means that he prevents harm from coming to me. And equally important, I believe, is that we also have His guidance. This is really valuable to me because there are so many inputs in life that attempt to get us distracted. We can by pass that with His lighted path.

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.
23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light;
And reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

I think the binding and tieing are important here. It fits with the “feelings” I get that are tied to emotions. Sometimes they are felt in my chest and other times they are felt around my neck and shoulders. But notice that we are instructed to do something to have them. And one of the things that is really great to me is that his commandment and law (when in and around us as directed) leads us, keeps us when asleep, and talks with us when we wake up. I will say more to this at another time, but I am so thankful for this!

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are my King. I praise the name YAHUAH! I praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here and Your will be done here, on earth ass it is in heaven. Send me now Your provision. Let it overflow to those around me YAH. Forgive me my trespasses and transgressions, and help me to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me. Keep me from the temptations, YAH, for they are many. Deliver me from the hands of evil men and from the plans for evil that any may have for me. You are my defense, YAH. I trust in You alone. You are my King. You alone are King. I love You. Today I declare that the enemy MUST restore sevenfold all that He has stolen from me over all these years, no matter who was at fault. I ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Fighting Back

It really is true that one is only defeated when they decide to not get back up when knocked down, not to fight back when the fight is upon them. These are great words to hear when all is well. These are even great words to hear when in the battle itself. However, when inn the battle, things are a bit different. The temporary reality of the battlefield sets in. Now it is for existence. The weariness of the battle also sets in. What do we do in these times? Who will we be in these times? Somehow, from within us, we must determine to remain in the battle.

1 Timothy 6:11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

Keep fighting.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are King. You alone are my King! Praise the name YAH! Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here, on earth as it is in heaven, O YAH. I love You and I need You now. Send in quickly Your overwhelming provision. Forgive me my trespasses and transgressions, and help me to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me. Keep me from the temptations here, O King. Deliver me from the evil plans that men have for me. I need You now, perhaps more than ever YAH. You are my King. Let Your power and glory be in this place O YAH. Thank You for being my Father and my King. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Work Is Good

Thinking this morning of how important it is to build each other up in the kingdom. Yes, this is a common topic. But being a common topic does not make it any less important. If anything, it would seem that it must be important because how often it is discussed or considered. Clearly it is important to God as well. So many scriptures address the idea of helping our neighbors and friends is likened unto the nature of YAH. One that comes to mind is one that speaks to a result that would come to pass if we were to execute well the task of building each other up.

PSALM 133 A Song of degrees of David.
1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
For brethren to dwell together in unity!
2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard,
Even Aaron’s beard: That went down to the skirts of his garments;
3 As the dew of Hermon,
And as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion:
For there the LORD commanded the blessing,
Even life for evermore.

Today I will choose to have an attitude to be one that builds another up. And of course myself as well. Not sure why it is, but it seems like it is difficult to do. But it is worth doing.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! 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. I need You now. Help me please. I ask all these things of You Father King, and to be delivered from the evil here, and temptations, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Loving YAH

Today is another great day! I say that as a response to the world that is vying for my attention. My first and primary focus must be YAH. It is only then that I truly have a chance to change things for good here in this planet and to make a positive difference. This is my shot. This is my chance. Today is that day and I must decide to make that difference. These things that I am saying here, this is what it means to me, in part, to say that I love YAH. I must do these things and be this person to truly show my love to Him. Not sure where all of this is coming from this morning, but this is what is flowing out of me right now.

Proverbs 4:20 My son, attend to my words;
Incline thine ear unto my sayings.
21 Let them not depart from thine eyes;
Keep them in the midst of thine heart.
22 For they are life unto those that find them,
And health to all their flesh.
23 Keep thy heart with all diligence;
For out of it are the issues of life.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! 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. Keep me from the temptations here, and deliver me from the evil plans that men have for me. Show me a sign for good that all men might know that You alone have done this thing. We ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Peaceful Desire

Here in the US we are “trained” from our youth to want things. We get this message very. strongly from the television, from movies, and from radio. It is such a strong message that it has become a part of our society and how it works. Buy that I mean we here it from from friends, family, the pulpit, at work… pretty much everywhere. And this drive toward the “things” in life can become a really bad influence in our lives if we let it be that. My response to that for me is to work to not letting that happen. My only hope in that regard is to continually try to get closer to YAH. He is my only hope in all I do. In this way, He helps me with the desires of my heart, and provides them for me.

PSALM 37

A Psalm of David.
א Aleph
1 Fret not thyself because of evildoers,
Neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.
2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass,
And wither as the green herb.
ב Bet
3 Trust in the LORD, and do good;
So shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
4 Delight thyself also in the LORD;
And he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
ג Gimel
5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; Trust also in him;
And he shall bring it to pass.
6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light,
And thy judgment as the noonday.
ד Dalet
7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him:
Fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
ה He
8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath:
Fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
9 For evildoers shall be cut off:
But those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are my King. O YAH! You alone are my King. I praise the name YAH! Let Your king 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 in need. I love You. 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 that men do toward me, and from the evil plans they have for me. Confound and destroy their plans, and make those plans as if they never were, without remembrance by them or any in power. Keep me in Your ways. Keep me from temptations. And let the bars of gold come to me, and show me what to do with them O YAH. This is Your place and power and glory. Only You, YAH, only YOU! I want to be Your servant son. I want to be an example that You can let others see. Help me O King. Show me a sign for good that all men might know that You alone have done these things, O YAH. O YAH, I love You. I ask all these things of You my Father, my King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Spread The Words

The words offer Messiah are precious, because He is the Father and the Son in One. If you ask me to explain that to you in a simple English set of words, I cannot. I struggle to understand the nature of who YAH is. How can the pot say anything to the potter? We are at best a finite subset of the things that are YAH. He must appear infinite to us because being only a subset we have no access to all. So we are the ones that get to learn and understand as much as we can about who He is and what He has for us to do. If we stay within His guidelines, life seems much easier. If we try to make up our own guidelines, life is much harder. In fact, for me personally, that is when it failed to work. So, for me, today on this Sabbath, it is my plan to consider what He has for me to do, and do that; to say and say that, so the world continues on a path to being reunited with YAH.

Romans 9:30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.
31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;
33 as it is written,
Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence:
And whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

Today I will speak the words of my Master and my King.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are my King. I praise the name YAH! I praise Your nema 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. Let it overflow. Let it overflow. O my King, let it overflow. 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 that men have for me. Keep me in Your ways, O my King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here, for this is Your place and power and glory. I ask all these things oof You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah Hamashiach. Amen.

Mental Acuity

The mind is an incredible gift, and incredible tool from YAH. We literally have this amazing method to create our future and the future of the planet. We have a powerful mind.

2 Timothy 1:6 Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.
7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
8 Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;
9 who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began

We are given this mind that we might make impact intros life. Let it be so among us, and into the world around us.

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 in Your ways, O YAH my King. Deliver me from the hands of evil men. Deliver me my King. Let the overwhelming of blessings and gold and prosperity flow unto me O King. I love You. I know You hear me. Help me to be a much better man, O my King. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Glad To Be Here

When I say I am glad to be here, I am not just referencing a physical location. I am also referencing a particular time. While not completely there yet, I am coming to learn that I have a place in time and space, not just space. And I am thankful for this awareness. With this awareness I can better understand what we are trying to accomplish here on this planet. And YAH is the one I thank for this as He is the one making it happen.

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.
23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light;
And reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

Thank You YAH.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are my King. Praise the name YAH! I thank You 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, and I thank You for all you have done and are doing and will do. Keep me from temptations YAH. This is Your kingdom and power and glory, O YAH. I love You. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Getting Back Up

It is always fascinating to me that we have the ability to make an impact for YAH no matter what we are doing. We can stumble and fall, true enough. But we can also get back up. From there we can choose completely new approaches to life, completely new ways of being. If there is one message that resonates with me today, it is the message of getting back up.

Hebrews 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2 looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.

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 keep me from temptations. This is Your place, power, and glory forever YAH. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.
