We Are Destined

This morning, more than ever, I am sensing that YAH is moving in our earth. He sees everything. It is important to understand that we need Him, we need our Messiah, to be able to make a difference in this world for YAH. And we can know that it is already set for us to do so. We can take each day and turn it into something special if we are willing to seek YAH to know His will for our lives. He has a plan for each of us.

Psalms 139:16 You saw me before I was born.
Every day of my life was recorded in your book.
Every moment was laid out
before a single day had passed. (NLT)

It is a comfort and very encouraging to me personally, when I am facing what appear to be tough times, to know that YAH already has a plan, and what He sets forth will come to pass.

Isaiah 55:10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
11 so shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

And, we are made in His image.

Prayer
Father, we 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. Help us Father to make that happen here. Send us now Your provision. We need You Father. Help us to overflow to one another. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Deliver us from the evil here. Deliver me Father from the evil plans that men have for me. Confound their words and their documents O YAH. Help me help those that I have touched. Keep me from temptations YAH. The kingdom is Yours. The kingdom within me is Yours. The power is Yours. The glory is Yours alone. Reign now, YAH. We ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Coming To The Light

As I await the fullness of the sunrise here as we enter into the first day of the week, I think of the light created by YAH. At that time, if we can use the word “time” for that day, the earth was still without form and void and covered with water.Even before He created that first light, He new this day would come and I would be sitting here, awaiting the sunrise. When I think thoughts in this way, it causes me to question life. What should my life be about? What should I seek out in life? What really matters? Maybe I should consider devoting my life to just thinking thoughts like this. Maybe I should be focused on what is happening in this world according to what YAH is doing. It is for sure a unique group of thoughts.

Psalms 115:9 O Israel, trust thou in the LORD:
He is their help and their shield.
10 O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD:
He is their help and their shield.
11 Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD:
He is their help and their shield.
12 The LORD hath been mindful of us: he will bless us;
He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron.
13 He will bless them that fear
the LORD, both small and great.
14 The LORD shall increase you more and more,
You and your children.
15 Ye are blessed of the LORD
Which made heaven and earth.
16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD’s:
But the earth hath he given to the children of men.

Prayer
Father, we 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 us now Your provision. Forgive sour trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Deliver us from the evil here. Deliver me from the hands and works of those that would do me harm. Confound their thinking and their documents. Show me Your path, Father, and I will walk in it. You alone are King. Let me make a difference unto this place. I ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Sunrise Of Peace

This morning I was up early enough to watch the first light of day arise. As the Sabbath dawned, I was very excited to see that YAH is still King. Many things are round about us today. And yet, the sun did come up to usher in the Sabbath. YAH is showing Himself to be King.

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.
5 Who is like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high,
6 Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!
7 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust,
And lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;
8 That he may set him with princes,
Even with the princes of his people.

YAH is King!

Prayer
Father, we 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 us now Your provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Deliver us from the evil here. Deliver me from those that would cause me harm. Help us to find our way. We need You. We need Your Shalom. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Do Your Best

It is important for us as believers to do the best we can every day. That may sound a bit trite, but in fact it is really good for me to remember. I have this tendency, like all humans, to make mistakes as well as to do good. But it is easy to fall into the trap that we somehow are very unworthy because of our transgressions. Not true. Scriptures show us that this is not so.

James 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.
18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.

We can do great things while we struggle with our transgressions – sin – and there is only one requirement. Turn to YAH with a humble and contrite heart.

Zechariah 1:3 Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye unto me, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will turn unto you, saith the LORD of hosts.

It is clear that YAH only wants us to try our best, and to reach out to him as humble people.

James 4:6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
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.

Prayer
Father, we 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. Heaven. Heaven. Send us now Your provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Deliver us from the evil here. Deliver me from those that seek to cause me harm. Confound their records and their paperwork. Cover me, YAH Yashuah. Show me the path to the prosperity You have showed me. Let me serve only You. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Me And Dad

This morning, in the midst of many issues that could be seen as turmoil, I am here thinking about Dad, our Heavenly Father. I am so glad that we have the ability to call out to YAH as our Dad, and know that He hears us. We are so fortunate in this regard. I cannot speak for everyone. But this morning, I speak for me. Like so many of the Psalmists, I am thankful.

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;
3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west,
From the north, and from the south.

Dad is calling and also listening when I cry out. This morning I am both happy and thankful.

Prayer
Father, we 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 us now Your provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Deliver us from the evil here. Keep us from temptations. Deliver me, Father King, from those that would seek to do me harm. Confound their documents and their thinking and writing. Make it so. Deliver me my Father, from the hands of these people. Send in quickly the prosperity You have revealed. Help me help those that have suffered loss. I ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

What Did We Think?

Often in believing circles we hear the mention of “spiritual warfare”. Actually, there seems to be a certain fascination with this concept. Then, when we get into the actual battle, there can be a moment or moments when we feel stunned or dazed and confused. We wonder why we are experiencing negative situations. The answer is simple, I believe. We are in this unique position as a result of our prayers and stated willingness to “fight” with YAH for the kingdom. We do have to be careful to make certain that we believe that YAH is on our side and will deliver us. We also must be willing to stand in the face of whatever seems to be coming our way, and hold on to YAH. If we are willing to take a strong look at who we are and what we are doing, willing to turn away from evil if we find it, then we can stand against the enemy.

Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Prayer
Father, we 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 us now Your provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Deliver us from the evil here. Restore us my King. I love You. You alone are King. Here my cries and let me stand O Yahuah, with You. Send in quickly the $40,000 and the silver and precious jewels. I ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

You Are My Brother

We are here to do the best we can in life to serve our King, YAH. A part of that service is to be a people that help one another and pray for one another. This is important and one of those instructions mentioned more than once in scripture.

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.

And then again in the letter to the Ephesians Paul repeats this command.

Ephesians 5:15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
19 speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
20 giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
21 submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

To the Ephesians Paul spoke about each of them doing this for themselves as well as others. This seems to be a good command. Let’s move forward.

Prayer
Father, we 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 us now Your provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Deliver us from evil here. Keep us from temptations. I love You. Please come to our aid, Father. Many are there round about me trying to take me down. You alone can raise me up Father. I ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Winning Is Possible

Sometimes when the various areas of life pull on us, we can find ourselves wondering what is going on in our life. The most important step we can take is to pause and think of YAH. It is only YAH that can help us and save us from the dark forces of this earth. And we can win, because He is with us.

Romans 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

If we will but call out to YAH, He will give us His shalom.

Prayer
Father, we 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 us now Your provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Deliver us from the evil here. Give me strength to believe. I love You and I need You Father. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Learning Can Be Comforting

One of the outcomes for me from a learning experience is comfort. Even when I learn something that can be sad or seem sad, we have the opportunity to see the hand of YAH in it. This is comforting for me because I know that no matter what, YAH is in charge of all. He already has a plan for us.

1 Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

God is on our side. THAT is the Good News!

Prayer
Father, we 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 us now Your provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Deliver us from the evil here. Restore unto Your people a seat at the gates of the city. Bring in quickly the $40,000. We ask all these things in the name of YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Unleavened Bread Ends

This day represents the last day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread. This is the last of the days set aside to remember the Exodus from Egypt. It is a high holy day. For me, I was praying for a cleansing, which I received. Currently there is much evil in the world, and I pray that the people of the world learn to call out to YAH. I still have struggles and I call out to Him. I am reminded of David and one of His prayers.

Psalms 51:15 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.
16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

Today and everyday, I want to find a way to be like the person David described.

Prayer
Father, we 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 us now Your provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Deliver us from the evil here. Deliver me my King, and keep me from temptations. I need You. I love You. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.
