Memories Are Good

Today is my seven year anniversary. The wife and I went to dinner after my return from Florida. I am saying all this to say that there are many times in life that we each remember for ourselves. Some of those are really good, and they make us feel really good inside. Some are not so good and we can feel bed about them – or – we can choose to determine what we learned from them, giving us life lessons. Learning from the “bad times” gives us a clearer path to the good. All that said, my wife and I had opportunity to focus on some “good times”. Here is a great scripture in her honor.

Proverbs 31:10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.

28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
29 Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
30 Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.
31 Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.

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 us from temptations. This is Your people and Your kingdom and Your power. We ask You deliver it all to us that in Your mercy we might extend Your kingdom to those around us, We ask that You cause substance and possessions that have been taken away or held back or lost in any way to be returned to Your people, and the more besides, the more besides. We ask all these things of You Father King, inn the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen and Amen and Amen. Amen.

Comfort In Waking

This morning I heard an odd cracking and chirping sound, just after waking up. Turns out it was one of those very short power outages that caused all the electric clocks to need assistance. It was one of those mornings when the thought attacks come, and when that happens, we just need to cry our to our Father for help. I did and He did. It was then that I thought about what a comfort it is to be able to wake up and have YAH be there, waiting to help us out.

Psalms 3:3 But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
4 I cried unto the Lord with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.
5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord sustained me.

So we are blessed to have a Father that carries us through the night and is there when we wake up.

Psalms 139:17 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.

We have a great Father and Protector in YAH. He alone watches over us to make certain that it is well with us.

What a great comfort to know that the Master and Creator of this universe is on our side and with us!

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King! You alone, You alone, 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. With Your kingdom comes the light and life that only You give. We need You, we need Your life and light, we love You. Send us now Your provision that it might overflow to those around us. Deliver us from the evil here. 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. This is Your kingdom and Your power. We need You, we need You now. We ask all these things of You Father King. We ask that Your restore all the good and substance and prosperity that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and the more besides. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen and Amen. Amen.

Reaching Out

There are times when we are comforted by YAH just by reaching out to Him. In those moments we can settle our heart and mind. We can avoid thinking about the past or the future, just enjoying our Father for that moment, and the next, and the next. Our Messiah, Yeshuah, spoke of this.

Matthew 6:27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

We need only realize that our Father is there, making certain we have what we need.

Prayer
Father, we 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 us now Your provision. Deliver us from the evil here. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Deliver us from evil. Keep us from temptations. Restore Your people, Father. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all the good and possessions and healing and power that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and the more besides. The more besides. We need You and Your delivering power in this hour, for You alone are King. Rise up my King. Rise up my King. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen and Amen and Amen.

Healing For The Land

Our Father is providing us with what we need for healing. He is giving to us His outstretched arms to hold us. He loves us. We need, as a nation, to only reach out to Him.

2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

When reading this it may be hard to hear the term, “wicked ways” as something that applies to us. But to our Father, anything that is not His way is a wicked way. We all fall short.

Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

Today, we can be comforted in know that we have been bought with a price. We can know that we were redeemed from the curses of the Law (and not the Law itself) by the blood of Yeshuah which has been sprinkled over us.

What a relief and comfort our Father is to us!

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. We truly exalt You. You alone are our King. We praise the name YAH! We love to 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. There is so much as stake. This is Your place, and these are Your people. Only You can make these changes, for only You are King. Rise up, my King. Rise up, my King. Deliver Your people now. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen and Amen and Amen.

From God

Every moment in time is from God. This morning as I sat reflecting on what I have been writing for a while, it is clear that like others, I experience those moments with God. We have the good fortune to be serving the One who created the heavens and earth, and all we see. We need only to believe in Him and trust in Him. There is something about the idea of all life being from God that perhaps we are missing.

It is true that God always was, is, and will always be. However, for us, He is in the now. The past is written from our perspective. YAH can deliver us from it if need be, bring it to remembrance for times of joy, and likely has the power to visit it. Just like the past is written to us, the future is written to Him. That is difficult for time sensitive creatures like ourselves to understand. The critical thing is, we do not access YAH in the past or the future. We access YAH in the now. Our Messiah tried to address this a bit.

Matthew 6:31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

So, we are meant to do what we alone are assigned to do. We are not meant to do what others are assigned to do. We are meant to encourage everyone everyday. If we will do this, we will be a blessing to those around us. And after all, a significant part of our mission here is to bless other humans and help other humans.

There is comfort in knowing that all life is from God.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here, let Your will be done here, on earth as it is in heaven. May we be in Your path to publish the kingdom. May we be in Your grace that we might aid those around us. Father we know You, and yet we know so little. Send us now Your provision that it might overflow to those around us. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. We need Your mercy and Your love. Let us show it to those around us. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen and Amen. Amen.

YAH Forgives

It has been true for many years that we are forgiven if we will turn to our Father and ask forgiveness. Since the time of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus), as believers we ask our Father for forgiveness in the name of Yeshuah. But it has always been true that if we will love our Father and do as He has commanded, He will forgive us when we ask.

Ezekiel 18:20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
21 But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
22 All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live.

We can take comfort in knowing that YAH has always had a heart for man to turn from evil to good. He has always wanted to be there for humans to comfort them and deliver them from evil. It is just who YAH is.

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 temptation. Purify our hearts Father, for only You can cleanse our hearts. We need You. We need You. We love You. We ask that You restore all that the worm has eaten. We ask that You bring to us quickly the prosperity and substance that You have said from the beginning. Restore, O my King! Restore, O my King! We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen and Amen. Amen.

Human To Human

We are called to be human. That is a container with a lot in it. And there are certain expectations. One of them is to be good to people.

Matthew 7:12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

It is interesting that our Messiah saw this as the Law and the prophets. Many today say the Law is past away. If that is true, then so is this direction from our Messiah. We can be comforted in knowing that we are to be kind to others.

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 The prosperity and the substance that You have set apart for us. 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. This is Yours. Restore us now. Restore us now. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen and Amen.

Begin Again

We have had a great deal of assistance in coming to the conclusions we have come to related to what the bible has to say about God, about life, and about living. Sadly, much of that has not been true. I hesitate to call it lies because with the word lie comes the implication of intent to deceive. While I am sure it is possible that some have meant to deceive, I do not believe that is the overall intent of all that have given us bad information. One example is the concept of grace.

Many of us have been taught that the God of the Old Testament was a Judge out to smash us, and the God of the New Testament was a good guy that only loved us. We were taught that judgement was the way of the Old Testament and grace was the way of the New Testament. Today I tell you, none of this is true. Grace was first mentioned in the Old Testament. And not just mentioned in passing, the word Hebrew word “chen” which is the word translated grace, it appears 69 times in the Old Testament. The first time is for Noah.

Genesis 6:8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.

When the world turned evil and God had to fix it, Noah found grace – unmerited favor – in God’s sight. God taught Noah to build an ark that saved the animals and Noah’s family.

At the very end of the Old Testament there is a mention of grace prophetically. It refers to the Messiah who will return and show His wounds that they gave Him, and the people will receive grace.

Zechariah 12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.

Today, let us commit ourselves to begin again in the comfort of knowing our Father gives us grace to be made anew.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here and Your will be done here on earth as it is in heaven. Send us now Your provisions. 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, and from the evil men do. Keep us from temptations. Thank You for hearing our cries for the substance and prosperity that have been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and the more besides, yes one thousandfold besides. Hear us and do these things we ask You now our Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen. Amen.

Heart Help

If we are open to our Father helping us with our heart, He will do that. David knew this.

Psalms 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.
13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.

It is important to realize that our hearts are made up of what we train into them, and the new birth.

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.

We must believe in the mission we have been given because of the Giver of that mission. That belief must be in our hearts to sustain us and comfort us in our hour of need. God does not lie.

Numbers 23:19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

We need only to seek to hear His voice. He will guide us and keep us.

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, and let it be great that it might overflow to those around us. Forgive us our transgressions and trespasses, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Deliver us from the evil here, even that which lurks in people. Let us not be led astray by temptations. This is here for Your power and glory to be manifest. We love You. Restore us in all good things in this world, anything that has been taken or held back in any way. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Not Alone

This morning I was thinking about dreams, and trying to understand if they had meaning or not. As I went down this path, I thought about how good it is to know that we are not alone. Our Father is always with us. He is always on our side. He will always help us when we seek the help. But we need to make that effort. He longs for us to reach out to Him. And He has built that desire in us as well.

Psalms 42:1 As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.
7 Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.
8 Yet the Lord will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.
11 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

There will be dreams that seem good, and dreams that seem odd. There will be days that seem good, and days that seem odd. Our Father is with us and for us in them all. His song that He sings over us is for us. We need only sing in agreement.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here in the hearts and minds and bodies of the people, 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, and let not temptations overcome us. We need You here. We need You now. Many have risen against us. You alone are King, Father. Declare a thing, and it will be. Declare us now to lead, to be the head and not the tale, and to lend and not borrow, and to have the substance in abundance here and now in this place, O my King, let it so be. We ask all these things in the name YAH Yeshiuah HaMashiach. Amen.
