Build, My Friend, Build!

The thing about life with our Father is that it keeps moving. We have our commitments and we must complete on them. But we just keep building, and we get there. Time is one of those things we have to use to build. We must learn about the pattern nature of it to succeed at using it. But we keep it going. Always build, and use prayer.

Colossians 3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are King. 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 love You and I trust You YAH! Deliver me from the evil here. Keep me in Your ways, and away from temptations. I love You. I love You. This is Your place and power and glory. Please show Yourself strong on my behalf O King. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Leaving All Behind

Some days we need to just relax. Yesterday became a day like that for me. It was just too intense. When we really hit the overwhelm hard, that is when it is time to just stop. Whatever is going on, find at least a few minutes to get aside and just stop. Spend some time with YAH. Relax your nerves. It was interesting because I hit a boiling point, and then I had something that would have made me really go through the roof in the past. But this time I just let it boil for a while. Then I set it aside to make a decision later, like maybe today. Sometimes we just have to let things go by us. We just have to let them go, and cling to YAH.

Isaiah 43:15 I am the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King.
16 Thus saith the LORD, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;
17 which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise: they are extinct, they are quenched as tow.
18 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.
19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
20 The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen.
21 This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.

YAH knows, and He will give us His shalom – His peace.

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 Your trespasses and transgressions, and help me to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me. Deliver me O King from the evil here, and the evil plans men have for me. Keep me from temptations. I love You. I love You YAH. You are my King. Keep me. Save me. Send me the prosperity and the good bars of my vision, and the great wealth. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Only The Good

One of the most comforting things a parent can do for a child is to calm them when they are upset. That source of upsettedness can be anything from a scraped knee to a bad dream. The one thing that all those negatives have in common is something in the brain telling them something is wrong. That something is a thought, often mixed with emotion. And our Father helps us to get to the good thinking. In fact, He has conveyed a message about what to focus on in the area of good thoughts.

Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.
5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.
6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

Even though it can seem like a challenge at times, we do know that we can do this. We know because our Father has sent people to share with us the path to follow, and we follow that path. He helps us.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are my King. I praise the name YAH! 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. Deliver me from the plans for evil that men have for me. Keep me from temptations, YAH, for they try to overwhelm me. Let me see only the good. Show me the path to walk and the way I am to go. Help me to help those in need YAH. I love You and need You O King. Please reach out to those in need YAH. Heal the sick and injured. Feed the poor and needy. And send in now the $19,900 Father, and that one hundredfold, and show Yourself strong on my behalf. I praise You. I praise You. I praise the name YAH, O my King. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Getting Ready

Today I speak to a group of people about how to make their story into a movie. I have to prepare myself for that presentation. Sitting here thinking of my work I realize that the same is true for living with YAH. I have to prepare myself for such an event. I have to prepare myself for the Sabbath, and I use the Sabbath to prepare myself for the next week of life. We must prepare ourselves when we have the chance to prepare ourselves. The Sabbath is a day of rest, which prepares us for the rest of the week.

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.

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 of transgressed against us. Deliver me from evil here, and the evil plans men have for me. Keep me from temptations YAH. I need Your help. I love You. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Because Ways Are Important

This morning was quite a revelation for me. I was considering the scripture where YAH says Moses new His ways.

Psalms 103:1 Bless the LORD, O my soul:
And all that is within me, bless his holy name.
2 Bless the LORD, O my soul,
And forget not all his benefits:
3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities;
Who healeth all thy diseases;
4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction;
Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things;
So that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
6 The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment
For all that are oppressed.
7 He made known his ways unto Moses,
His acts unto the children of Israel.

All of these examples of good things are just YAH executing righteousness and judgement for those oppressed by these bad situations. These are His ways. How ways are the methods of deliverance from the evil in this world. He shows us the how-to. Praise YAH!

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. Deliver me from the evil plans that men have for me. Keep me from temptations. Heal me O King. I love You! I love You! I love You! The kingdom power and gory are Yours. I ask all these things of You my King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Thankful For Him

Looked out the window a bit ago to see the rain falling. To me, it is just so amazing that water comes from the sky and the plants here take it in, mix it with light, and wha-lah! We have the plants the cover the planet as a result! And God is so good to us, He just makes it happen over and over. Yet, we do not likely give this much thought. We just let it go on and take it for granted, mostly. But it truly is a wonder, and one worth being thankful for I would suggest.

Psalms 113:1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD,
Praise the name of the LORD.
2 Blessed be the name of the LORD
From this time forth and for evermore.
3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same
The LORD’s name is to be praised.
4 The LORD is high above all nations,
And his glory above the heavens.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are King! You alone are my King. Praise the name YAH! Let His name be praised! 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 us. Deliver me. O King, deliver me. Deliver me from the evil here and the evil plans men have for me. Keep me from the temptations YAH. I want to stay in Your ways and move to the end You have declared. I love You. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Fighting Back, Fighting Forward

Yesterday was a bit of a crazy day. Yet, I was able to walk my way through it with some wins and some losses. Waking up this morning, I found myself fighting on two fronts. The first is fighting the enemy because I was sad for my losses. The second was also the enemy, looking into the future. It was then that I had an experiential learning moment. When I stumble and fall, I need only be quick to repent. Quick, but also earnest. Failures are a sign of something still needing work in me, a work that begins with my repentance and is already finished because YAH declared the end from the beginning.

Isaiah 46:9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,
10 declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

This is also the reason Yeshuah died, to give me and everyone a path to freedom. I also believe that the enemy gets us off the path first with temptations and then with wallowing in our failures. As long as we stay in “woe is me land” we are not batting for the present and future that YAH has for us.

Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;
20 and he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:
21 whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.

Stay strong. Be quick to repent. Fight the good fight. YAH loves you and He is on Your side.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are my King. I need You now 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 all those that have trespassed or transgressed against us or just me. Deliver me from the evil here, and the evil plans men have for me. Restore unto Your servant, O King, all that has been taken or held back in any way, and that one thousandfold. Let me find Your path and Your way, O King, that I might reveal it to those in need, and those that search. If I dream, let it be of You and Your kingdom here around me, in and on this earth. I love You Father. And I love Yeshuah who died for me. Show me a sign for good that all men might know that You alone have done this thing. I ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Deliver Me, Deliver Us

Thinking this morning about all of the great and many challenges each of us face, I consider it important that we take the time to ask that YAH delivers us. It is a line from the “Lord’s Prayer” which we are to pattern our prayers after. It is my opinion and practice that we are not to just say the same words over and over, but to use those words as a pattern for our own praying. Either way, we are to pray to be delivered red from evil. I love You, Father. I love You.

Matthew 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You are my King. You alone are my King. I praise the name YAHUAH, for it is the name above all names, YAHUAH. Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here, on this earth as it is in the heaven. Send me now Your provision, and thank You for the provision in the days gone by. Forgive me my trespasses and transgressions, and help me to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me. You are my King. Deliver me O King from the evil here and the evil plans that men have for me. Destroy those plans, confound those plans, and turn their hearts. Give me favor with all those that would try to cause me evil. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Father’s Day

In the US this is a day. we dedicate to the fathers. My earthly father passed away many years ago, and now I am the oldest Patriarch in the family. On Father’s Day it is normal for me to think about my kids, who are now grown. And I do like to take time to think about my Father in heaven. He has been so much more to me than I could ever be to my kids, but I try to do my best to be like Him. He is good to me and to us.

Proverbs 4:1 Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father,
And attend to know understanding.
2 For I give you good doctrine,
Forsake ye not my law.
3 For I was my father’s son,
Tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.
4 He taught me also, and said unto me,
Let thine heart retain my words:
Keep my commandments, and live.

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.

Great words to children from the Father.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. Yes YAH, I exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAHUAH! Thank You Father for loving me. 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 be abundant to overflow. Keep me YAH. 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 in Your ways. Help me to control my mind YAH. I love You Father. I love You Father. I ask all these things of You Father and King, because this is Your place and power and glory. Forever. I ask. all these things of You in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Closer Means Closer

This morning as I was considering this as the Sabbath, I thought about the call we each have on our lives. When I find myself thinking about others and how they are doing – or not – with their calling toward YAH, I am encouraged by the Spirit to focus on me. Yah calls me to be the best me I can be. He does not call me to make others be a certain way. That is between them and YAH. Actually, I have plenty to do just focusing on me. I have a responsibility for me to YAH. Maybe a bigger problem is if I spend time focusing on others and talking about others, I am not working on me. And frankly, I need the work. Closer to God and His people means closer to God. Anything else is some level of distraction for sure. This is what I am doing this Sabbath – thinking about me and how I can be a better me, walking closer to YAH.

James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
11 Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.
12 There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are my King. I praise You name YAH. I 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 for give those that have trespassed or transgressed against me. Deliver me from the evil here. Deliver me from the evil plans men have for me. Destroy their plans and the works of their hands. Keep me from temptations YAH. This is Your kingdom and power and glory. Reign. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.
