Just Keeps Moving

This morning I was thinking that no matter what happens around us, life keeps moving forward. How is that possible? It is possible because there is One who made it all.

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

And Again, Paul wrote this to the Colossians to remember who they were.

Colossians 1:12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

So we see that we have been given this great ministry of sharing the truth, that our Father is not the one with the hammer – that is our adversary the devil. Our Father loves us, and lives within us. He gives mankind the power to become like our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). He gives us the power to become sons of God.

John 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

So today, if we will accept that great gift, we can be the sons and daughters of God.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here in this place into the hearts and minds of mankind. Let Your will be done here as it is in heaven. Send us now Your overwhelming provision. Deliver us from the evil here that would keep us from You. 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 wipe away all thoughts and memories of the evil done to us or by us. We cast down all vain imaginations. Let our hearts and minds be subject to only You, Father. Restore Your people unto Your kingdom, the kingdom of God, in their hearts and minds. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all that has been taken of held back in any way, and the more besides. Send in quickly the $423,923,962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom of God in the hearts and minds of mankind. You alone can do this Father. Help us all, and help me, to be more like You. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We ask all these things of You, Father, in Your name YAH. We ask all these things of You in the name YAH Yeshuah. Amen.

Focus On Life

This morning I found myself in a bit of a funk. It seemed like there were all these things around me that were not going as hoped. As I was sharing this via text with a friend, I began to see an issue. Humans end up where they focus. In driving it is important to keep our eyes on where we want to be because we will steer to where we are looking, to where our focus is. It seems that this may be a life trait. We have to “see” what we want and expect, and then that will come to pass as we “drive” toward it. And of course, it has to be within the will of our Father. If we focus on things here in this world, we will drive towards the things in this world.

1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Yeshuah (Jesus) our Messiah told us of this, and He also lived it. No matter where He was, or what was going on, He looked and listend to see what our Father was saying and doing. We need to be just like that ourselves, as He instructed us.

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.

This mystery of going in the direction of our focus is described by Messiah.

Matthew 6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!

“The eye is the light of the body” seems to indicate that what we focus on fills every part of us. The word for “evil” means laborious, annoyances, or hardships. The word for “single” means simple. If we can be like our Messiah Yeshuah, and focus on what the Father is doing, we will be able to filled with that focus, “seeing” it internally, and having it fill us with joy.

I want to remember to focus on the things of the Father, and have that joy fill me.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here in the hearts and minds of mankind. Let Your will be done here perfectly as it is in heaven. Send us now Your overwhelming 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. Wipe away all thoughts and memories of the evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You and Your love toward us. Restore Your people Father, and draw them close. Restore unto Your people of all the good that has been eaten, taken, or held back in any way, and the more besides. Send in quickly the $424,923,962.53 that we might use it to promote Your kingdom here in the hearts and minds of mankind. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We ask all these things of You, Father, in Your name YAH. We ask all these things in the name YAH Yeshuah. Amen.

Growing In The Son Light

The phrase “Son Light” may be overused, but in this case it was the best way I could describe what I am sensing these days. When we are willing to seek Yahuah (Lord) with… I don’t know… a sense of urgency, we can find Him “more completely”. It is somewhat challenging to describe. David did a good job of this.

Psalms 91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.abide: Heb. lodge
2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

The secret place describes that it is not openly found by just anyone. He is a fortress and a place of refuge.

Psalms 18:1 I will love thee, O Lord, my strength.
2 The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
3 I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

27For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.
28For thou wilt light my candle: the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.
29 For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.
30 As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.tried: or, refined
31 For who is God save the Lord? or who is a rock save our God?

35 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great.

We see that He will put His light with us to deliver us from the darkness around us. In the darkness we can find Him and His secret place where He will cover us and defend us.

Psalms 18:6 In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.
7 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.
8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.
10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.
11 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.

He shows up because He is with us always. His secret place, his presence in the Holiest of Holies which is now in our hearts, travels with us at all times, to hold us up.

What a great comfort it is to be in the Son Light the our Father has provided for us.

Today, if You feel darkness closing in, call out to the Father in the name of His Son Yeshuah (Jesus) our Messiah, and He will light Your life and defend You.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here in the hearts and minds of mankind. Let Your will be done here as it is in the heavens, perfectly. 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. Deliver us from the evil here. Wipe away all thoughts and memories of the evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You and Your love toward us. Come now and help us. Send in quickly the $423,923,962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom of God here in the hearts and minds of mankind. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and the more besides. Rise up my King, while it is called today, and help us. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We ask all these things of You, Father, in Your name YAH. We ask all these things in the name yAH Yeshuah. Amen.

Getting Better

As believers we may wonder how we can become like our Father, really. It does not appear to be something that just happens. It takes effort on our part. We see this in scriptures.

Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

How is it then that we renew our mind? The Greek word used here is only used twice in the bible. It means a restoration or complete change for the better. If we think about it, everything that we are or do begins as a thought first. So, perhaps renewing the mind means to begin to diligently try to think like our Messiah thinks. Think like God. Paul gives us a list at one point.

Philippians 4:8 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.

If we will use this as a checklist against our thoughts, that will help tremendously. In those moments when our thoughts seem overwhelmed, we can use our voices, stating good things out loud, reading scriptures out loud, praying out loud, singing, praise, etc. When we say it we hear it. When we hear it we have the chance to do it. Our speaking creates possibility.

Deuteronomy 30:14 But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.

If we say it, we can get there to do it.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are worthy of our praise. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here in the hearts and minds of mankind. Let Your will be done here in this earth as it is in heaven, perfectly and without fail. Send us now Your provision that we 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. Deliver us from the evil here. Wipe away all the thoughts and memories of the evil done to us or by us. In there place let there be only thoughts and memories of You and Your love for us. You alone are King. Praise You, Father, for all You are and all You do. Send in quickly the $423,923,962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom of God in this earth in the hearts and minds of mankind. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all that has been eaten, taken, or held back of that which is good, and the more besides. We ask all these things in the name YAH Yeshuah, our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). WE ask all these things of You, Father, in Your name YAH. Amen.

Time Begins

Each day, time begins anew. At least, for our Father, He sees us that way. Each day His mercy is renewed.

Lamentations 3:22 It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
24 The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
25 The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.
26 It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord.

It is good to remember that we are called to do our Father’s work. It is good to call to mind that His mercies toward us are new every morning. He never fails us.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your will be done here as it is in heaven. Deliver us from the evil here. Deliver us from the evil here. Deliver us from the evil here. Let Your kingdom come in the hearts and minds of mankind. Send us Your provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed of transgressed against us. Wipe away all the thoughts of evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You and Your love toward us. We need You desperately. Send in quickly the $423,923,962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom of God here in this earth. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all that has been taken or held back in any way, and the more besides. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We ask all these things in the name of YAH, Your name, Father. WE ask all these things in the name of YAH Yeshuah. Amen.

Comfort In Believing

When I think of comfort, I think of feeling good, a warm blanket on a cold day, sunshine through a window, or a child’s laughter. When there is a lack of peace within me, I lack comfort. It would seem then that really, comfort comes from within me. It’s like a choice. For me, this greater comfort comes in spending time with our Father, talking, praying, singing, and giving thanksgiving to Him. All these things are a source of comfort. All these things are a choice. The letter to the Hebrews helps me to see the choice to be made in my heart and my mind.

Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

If we choose to believe that He is and that He is on our side, and try to visualize that in our minds, we can be comforted anywhere.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH. Let Your kingdom come here in the hearts and minds of mankind. Let Your will be done here as it is in the heavens. Send us today Your overwhelming provision that it might overflow from us to those around 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. Wipe away all thoughts and memories of the evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You. Send in quickly the $423,923,962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom of God in the earth. Deliver us from the evil that would attempt to prevail against us. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all that has been taken, eaten, or help back in any way from your people of that which is good, and the more besides. We assk all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We ask all these things of You, Father, in Your name YAH. We ask all these things in the name YAH Yeshuah. Amen.

Comfort In Our Father

We are most blessed to have as our Father the Creator of the universe. It means that the One that created everything has the ability to give to us the keys to what it takes to live in this earth. Our Messiah said it best.

Luke 11:9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?
12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?
13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

We also know that we have the ability to receive wisdom from our Father if we will only ask.

James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

We can find our way out if we want to find our way out. We just have to ask our Father how to walk out our lives, and He will give us wisdom.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here in the hearts and minds of mankind. Let Your will be done in the earth as it is in heaven, where all things – sun, moon, stars, and more – go through their routine as You and You only have established it. Send in now Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Wipe away all thoughts or memories of the evil done to us or by us. Heal Your people, Father, and we shall be healed. Help us to find unity. You alone have the power to make the hearts of kings move. Move those hearts today. Heal Your people today. Send in quickly the $423,923,962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom of God here in this earth in the hearts and minds of mankind. Restore unto Your people seventy times seven fold all that has been taken or held back in any way, and the more besides. Deliver us from the evil here. Cover Your people today, Father. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We ask all these things of You, Father, in Your name YAH. We ask all these things in the name YAH Yeshuah. Amen.

Mother’s Day

Today in our country is Mother’s Day. We like to use this day to honor the women that have raised children, and those that will. This is a very important part of our walk with God. He expects us all to honor our mothers.

Exodus 20:12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.

One thing is clear from this scripture. Our Father in heaven wants us to honor our parents here in this earth. Whether or not there has been issues and challenges in our lives, today, let’s all take time to honor mothers everywhere.

To all the women, regardless of age, that read this today,

Happy Mother’s Day!

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come in the hearts and minds of mankind. Let Your will be done here in this earth as it is in heaven, where the entire universe moves perfectly as You created it. Send in now your overwhelming 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. Wipe away all the thoughts or memories of the evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You and Your love for us. Deliver us from the evil here. We need Your help. We want to be like You. We need Your strength. We love You. Send in quickly the $423,923,962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom of God in the hearts and minds of the people here in this earth. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all that has been taken or held back, or eaten, of that which is good, to Your people, Father. Rise up and do these things quickly, Father. We love You. Only You can help us in these times. All else is temporary. And today we ask a special blessing on all those women that have given or will give birth, and to those that women that have raised children. May they experience great joy today. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We ask all these things of You, Father, in Your name YAH. We ask all these things in the name of YAH Yeshuah. Amen.

Deliverance Is Here

We have been set free! There are times in the mix of the days, however, when we discover there are still some type of constraints around us. It is a matter, I believe, of cooperating with the Father to drive out these enemies, because these enemies are spiritual. There is evidence in the scriptures that there is something more to life with God after our salvation experience with the confession of sin and seeking forgiveness through the blood of the Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus).

Philippians 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

There is indication in this scripture that we have an obligation to do something. It is this something that may also mean we have to get free from the past. And we can. Freedom and deliverance is available to us as believers.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here in this earth. Let the hearts of men be turned to flesh from stone. Let Your will be done in this earth as it is in the heavens. Send us now Your overwhelming 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. Send in quickly the $423,923,962.53 that we might use it to advance Your kingdom in this earth in the hearts and minds of mankind.

We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We ask all these things of You, Father, in Your name YAH. We ask all these things of You in the name YAH Yeshuah. Amen.

Never Ending Mercy

The greatest comfort I can think of today is that we have never ending mercy from our Father. He does great and mighty works on our behalf. He is merciful and forgiving every time we turn to Him. He never forgets to give us love. WE can count on Him at all times.

Psalms 145:5 I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works.
6 And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will declare thy greatness.
7 They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness.
8 The Lord is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.
9 The Lord is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.

If we are willing as believers to walk as our Messiah walked, giving mercy to those that are looking for mercy, we will have opportunity to know our Father in a way that He has desired, for He wants us to love one another.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here into the hearts and minds of mankind everywhere. Let Your will be done here as it is in heaven where all creation declares Your greatness! Send us now Your overwhelming provision that it might overflow from us to Your people. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Wipe away the thoughts of evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You and Your loving kindness toward us. Help us to love one another. We long to be Your disciples, learning the true and the hidden as only You can teach it. We need Your help to cause us to have hearts like David. Thank You for keeping Your words to us at all times in all ways. We love You. Send in quickly the $423,923,962.53 that we might use it to advance Your kingdom in the hearts and minds of mankind. Restore unto Your people seventy-fold all that was taken or held back in any way from Your people of that which was good, and the more besides. Rise up my King, and show Yourself to this world that You alone do these things. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We ask all these things of You, Father, in Your name YAH. We ask all these things in the name YAH Yeshuah. Amen.
