Trusting God

My own journey with God, or YAH as I call Him, in many ways resembles the path of the children of Israel as they left Egypt. This may be true for many believers. What is it that makes us have issues around trusting in YAH? Likely there are many facets to this answer, but we are on a journey. For me, this was a key. I needed to really let go and let God, as they say. I was always getting in my own way. But when I finally practiced this better, this got better. I try to hold one of the things Moses said in my head, heart, and hands.

Exodus 14:13 And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
14 The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.

For me, I continue on the path of learning to trust in YAH.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Praise theme 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. Restore. Restore. Restore, my King. I forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me YAH. I love You. You are King. Forgive me my trespasses and transgressions, YAH. I love You. Keep me from temptations YAH. Deliver me from the evil here and the evil plans men have for me. I love You. I love You. I love You. Show me a sign for good YAH. I love You. I love You. I love You. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Thankful For Sword And Shield

O my King! My heart does sing for You, my King. Yeshuah is King. O YAH. This is how I feel today when I focus on YAH. The King is with us. The King is with us. My heart is encouraged because the King is with us. I am so thankful YAH.

Isaiah 55:1 Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
2 Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
3 Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

This describes how my heart rejoices in YAH.

Rejoice today my friends!

Prayer

I love You. I love You. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Keep Speaking

There is an important scripture to know and understand a bit in the spiritual warfare arena. Here is that scripture.

Ephesians 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

In this passage the sword of the Spirit is a weapon. Since no one can win with defense only, a weapon is a necessary item. If you do not wound or slay the enemy, that enemy keeps attacking. The sword of the Spirit here is the word of YAH. The word translated as “word” is the Greek word rhema which means utterance. The noise out of our mouth wounds and/or slays the enemies of our souls.

This passage is worth additional detailed study for sure.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are 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. Let it overflow. I forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me YAH. I love You. I love You. Show me a sign for good YAH. I love You. Keep me from temptations YAH. Deliver me from the evil here and the evil plans men have for me. I love You. I love You. I love You. I ask all these things of you Father my King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Sing To Heaven!

Building one another up is a function of each and every believer. We need to be able to help ourselves and each other in our daily routines. It almost seems a little odd to say, “daily routines” like that. What is routine? It seems that living and earning a living are what we call routine. But perhaps we should go a bit farther and consider life from the basis of being focused on YAH and what He has in store for us? This is my goal and objective, to learn to be focused on Him first and then to build from that in each moment in my life. So many data inputs in life. Here is a scripture of encouragement to help others.

Matthew 25:31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
32 and before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
33 and he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
35 for I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
36 naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

We can even build one another up without knowing it.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are 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 I forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me YAH. I love You. I love You. Keep me from temptations YAH. Deliver me from the evil here and the evil plans men have for me. I love You. I love You. Keep me in Your ways YAH. I love You. I love You. I love You. Let shalom flow from You into my life. Let me touch the lives of those around me YAH. I love You. Let me heal the many sick, O my King. I love You. I love You. I love You. Let this be the time when You show me a sign for good my King. I love You. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

You Can Endure

Some difficulty arose for me today when thinking about how to say what I want to say. To encourage people sometimes I need to be more of a cheerleader. I am good with that. But sometimes when a person is “in the middle of it” they can need some help believing that they can get through it. Encouragement to me in those times is to realize that there are promises for endurance as well.

Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

In this passage Paul is referencing good times and bad times, and how he is able to hold on. YAH always is there for us. Paul came to understand this both through scripture and through the experiences of life for him and others. When faced with these challenges, we need to be able to spend time with YAH, and then power through.

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 I forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me YAH. Keep me from temptations YAH. Deliver me from the evil here and the evil plans men have for me. I love You. I love You. I love You. Help me know Your ways more every day, YAH. I love You. Help me heal, let me heal, empower me O King, to heal the sick. Let the coins flow, my King. I love You. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Kingdom Joy

What do we experience that truly brings us comfort? For me, it is when I can have some joy in my life. That joy, for me, comes from YAH. Yes, like all humans, I can experience temporary happiness, but that is not the joy I speak of here. The joy I am talking about comes from pursuing YAH and His path and ways. For me, that is true joy.

Nehemiah 8:5 And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people; (for he was above all the people;) and when he opened it, all the people stood up:
6 and Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God. And all the people answered, Amen, Amen, with lifting up their hands: and they bowed their heads, and worshipped the LORD with their faces to the ground.
7 Also Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodijah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, caused the people to understand the law: and the people stood in their place.
8 So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading.
9 And Nehemiah, which is the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites that taught the people, said unto all the people, This day is holy unto the LORD your God; mourn not, nor weep. For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the law.
10 Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength.
11 So the Levites stilled all the people, saying, Hold your peace, for the day is holy; neither be ye grieved.
12 And all the people went their way to eat, and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great mirth, because they had understood the words that were declared unto them.

If we lift up our hands and worship, we will have joy, which is the source of our strength. This seems counterintuitive, but it has proven true in my own life.

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. I forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me YAH. I love You. I love You. I love You. Forgive me my trespasses and transgressions YAH. Help us all find Your way YAH. Keep me from temptations YAH. Deliver me from the evil here and the evil plans men have for me. I love You. I love You. Give me the strength and power to heal the sick and lonely YAH. I love You. Let me be the bearer of shalom in the lives of many YAH. I love You. I ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HamMashiach. Amen.

Kingdom Life

We go through this existence with a certain understanding of what is true and what is not true. When we are overwhelmed by the amount of data, we may be in the wrong space. Or we may be in a space where we need to stop the overwhelm that is coming at us and take control of our thinking. The Sabbath is a day of rest. To that end, we can use it to recharge ourselves. By recharge I mean reset the clock of time within us that is marching toward an end game. It is our ability to course correct, to create alignment with the truth of YAH’s plan. We can stay the course, if we try, and make our way to the kingdom daily, resetting the clock on a weekly basis.

Isaiah 58:13 If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:
14 then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are 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. I forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me YAH. Forgive me my trespasses and transgressions, as I have forgiven those that trespass or transgress against me YAH. I love You. Keep me from temptations YAH. Deliver me from the evil here and the evil plans men have for me. Let Your mercy and shalom come to me. I love You. I love You. I pray for the broken hearted YAH. Let them be mended, YAH. Let them be mended. I love You. Teach me Your wisdom that I might share it with many YAH. I love You. Thank You for Your protection YAH. I love You. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

YAH Is Always Close By

This morning I am encouraged to think that YAH is always close by. He is always there for me when I need Him. He is always ready to help me. It is my deepest desire to learn more of Him and His ways everyday, and to find a way to heal people, help them survive, and to know about YAH. When there are struggles, I feel that we are close to Him, or at least I am close to Him. In the bigger picture, each person must be responsible for their own situation with YAH. He does not favor one person over another. He always favors what is good and right in His eyes, according to His plan.

Psalm 139:13 For thou hast possessed my reins:
Thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.
14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made:
Marvellous are thy works; And that my soul knoweth right well.
15 My substance was not hid from thee,
When I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect;
And in thy book all my members were written,
Which in continuance were fashioned,
When as yet there was none of them.
17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God!
How great is the sum of them!
18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand:
When I awake, I am still with thee.
19 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God:
Depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.
20 For they speak against thee wickedly,
And thine enemies take thy name in vain.
21 Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee?
And am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
22 I hate them with perfect hatred:
I count them mine enemies.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart:
Try me, and know my thoughts:
24 And see if there be any wicked way in me,
And lead me in the way everlasting.

Over and over again, YAH speaks int he scripture of how He is there for us to defend us and keep us in His ways.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are 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, YAH. I forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me YAH! I love You. Keep me from temptations YAH. Deliver me from the evil here and the evil plans men have for me. I love You. I love You. I need You YAH. I need You YAH. I need You YAH. Deliver me. Thank Yo for the whirlwind spirits You sent to watch over me. I love You. Heal the may sick YAH. Let them be made whole. I love You. Thank You for the prosperity You are sending to me. I love You. I love You. I love You. Show me a sign for good that all men might know that You alone are King, YAH, You alone are King. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Thankful For Forgiveness

As rational human beings, we have somehow built within us the knowledge to choose good over evil, to do good over evil, and to live. This awareness can become clogged, confused, and at times even forgotten. Even animals at times learn to assist other animals in harms way. Life appears to be about this process of learning about how YAH has a plan for good to ultimately triumph over evil. It is a plan that only He can and will execute absolutely. He alone is King. Today as I write in this moment, As I try to better understand, I am very thankful for YAH’s forgiveness for my errors. Life is not so much about stacking our accomplishments and then being able to take a bow. Life is about right now, this moment, trying to do good in this moment, trying to seek out YAH’s guidance to always be Turing toward Him in all we do. He allows us to turn to Him. He allows us to understand at some level the good and the harm we have done, and to choose the good, the life in Him. That He would allow this in us, in me… at this moment I am very thankful.

Psalm 140:1 Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man:
Preserve me from the violent man;
2 Which imagine mischiefs in their heart;
Continually are they gathered together for war.
3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent;
Adders’ poison is under their lips.
Selah.
4 Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked;
Preserve me from the violent man; Who have purposed to overthrow my goings.
5 The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; They have spread a net by the wayside;
They have set gins for me.
Selah.
6 I said unto the LORD, Thou art my God:
Hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD.
7 O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation,
Thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
8 Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked:
Further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves.
Selah.
9 As for the head of those that compass me about,
Let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
10 Let burning coals fall upon them:
Let them be cast into the fire; Into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
11 Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth:
Evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
12 I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted,
And the right of the poor.
13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name:
The upright shall dwell in thy presence.

Prayer

I ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Shields Up!

Those of us that were around in the early days of Star Trek can remember as Captain Kirk would give the command, “Shields up!” There were invisible force fields generated by the Enterprise that could overcome the power of missiles fired at it and the missiles were destroyed on contact with the shield. Fun times back then.

Today, we as believers have been informed by YAH that we, too, have a missile defense system.

Ephesians 6:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

We see that our faith is a shield. It is not visible to the naked eye. And yet it extinguishes all of the darts of the enemy.

Isaiah 54:15 Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.
16 Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.
17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.

Hold on my friends. Have faith! Shields up!

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. Let it overflow. Let it overflow. I forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me YAH. Forgive me my trespasses and transgressions. I love You. I love You. Keep me from temptations YAH. Deliver me from the evil here and the evil plans men have for me. I love You. I love You. Thank You for the smith that blowers the coals. I condemn all the voices that rise against me and no weapon formed against me shall prosper. I love You. Thank You for the pallets and the coins. I love You. Let healing and shalom flow. I love You. I ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.
