Beginning The Beginning

To set things aright, it is important to begin at the beginning. But even more important than that is to begin eventually. This idea can be a struggle for those of us compelled to always be on time. For those of us that are not always on time, we can appreciate the importance of eventually starting what we have committed to start.

Zechariah 4:6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.might: or, army
7 Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.
8 Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
9 The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto you.
10 For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the Lord, which run to and fro through the whole earth.for they…: or, since the seven eyes of the Lord shall rejoiceplummet: Heb. stone of tin

Today, let us start with what we have been charged to do, and our Father shall do all by His Spirit.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name Yahuah! Let Your will be done among us. Send now Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have transgressed against us. Restore the hearts and minds of Your people Father. Restore unto Your people all the good things that have been taken or held back in any way from Your people. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

A Time For Everything

In thinking about life, we have many things that we face as believers. This has always been true, as scriptures tell us.

Ecclesiastes 3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;to be…: Heb. to bear
3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

Perhaps if we can remember this, we can remember to dance even when times are more challenging. Let’s remember to dance!

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are King! Praise the name Yahuah! Let Your will be with us here. Send us now Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our trespasses, and help us to forgive all those that have trespassed against us. Heal us from within. Deliver us from the evil that surrounds us. Restore unto Your people one hundredfold all that is good that has been taken or held back in any way. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Running Low

From time to time in life we will find ourselves running low on energy. We can have this same experience with our spiritual well-being. We can find ourselves running low on spiritual energy. When this happens, there can be many different reasons. I know for myself a common one is to forget what to place first in my life. First has to be God.

Mathew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Today let’s put first things first.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King! Praise the name Yahuah! Let Your will be in this earth. Send us now Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our trespasses, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed against us. Heal us and deliver us. Restore unto Your people all that has bee taken or held back in any way. We ask all these things in the name of oiur Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

New Beginnings

Our Father is very big on fresh starts for His people. He can make it possible for us to survive when it seems impossible for us to survive. We only see the surrounds. He made the surroundings, and what surrounds even those surroundings. Our Father loves us and is willing to make a way for us.

Isaiah 43:14 Thus saith the Lord, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought down all their nobles, and the Chaldeans, whose cry is in the ships.nobles: Heb. bars
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.

Today, let us look for the way that He alone can create.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King! Praise the name Yahuah! Send us Your will here today. Send us Your provision today. Forgive us our trespasses, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed against us. Restore unto Your people health, life, and relationships, with prosperity. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Walking By Faith

The subject of walking by faith has been well discussed for many years. It remains a good thing for us to remember, because our very existence comes from our Father. He always is there. He always knows what we need. He never forgets us.

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.

Our Messiah told us our Father will provide, always. Let us take comfort in this.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King! Praise the name Yahuah! Let Your kingdom and Your will be in this earth. Send us now Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our trespasses, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed against us. Heal our hearts and minds. Help us today to serve You and each other. Show us a sign for good that all men might know that You alone have done this. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Be Of Good Cheer

These are some wonderful words to hear. They are even more wonderful because they were said to us by the One that died and rose again for us, our Messiah. Here is what He said to us.

John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

We can be encouraged, because our Messiah, Jesus (Yeshuah), has already overcome the world for us.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King! Bless the name Yahuah! Let Your light be in the earth, Your will and Your ways. Send us now Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our trespasses, and help us to forgive all those that have trespassed against us. Restore unto Your people peace in every way. Heal our hearts and minds. Show us a sign for good that all men might know that You alone have done this. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Help Is Always On The Way

As believers, we never have to be alone in times of struggle. Our Father always wants to reach out to help us.

Isaiah 41:10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
11 Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish.they that strive…: Heb. the men of thy strife

We can be a people that can count on our Father to be there for us.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King! Praise the name Yahuah! Let Your will be here with us. Send us now Your provision. Forgive us our transgressions, and help us to forgive all those that have transgressed against us. Heal our hearts and minds. Restore Your people Father that we all may dwell together in peace. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Helping One Another

As believers we are to work together, helping one another. There is one scripture in particular that comes to mind for me when I think of this.

Psalms 133
A Song of degrees of David.
1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!together…: Heb. even together
2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;
3 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.

May our Father keep us in His ways.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name Yahuah! Work with us, that we might be Your lights of Your will in this place. Send us Your provision. Forgive us our trespasses, and help us all to forgive those that trespass against us. Heal our hearts and minds. Restore us Father, that we might serve You. Heal us. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Loving Arms

Today as I think about the Father, I am reminded of how He watches over us. He protects and guides us. Literally, He holds us in His arms. I like that imagery for me. There is a scripture that reminds of this very much.

Romans 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

Here Paul states we can cry out to the Father like a little child, “Abba”, and know that He is with us. We are encouraged to be like little children by our Messiah.

Matthew 18:2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,
3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Today, let us be as little children that call out to our Father in heaven.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King! Praise and bless the name Yahuah! Let Your will be done in this earth, just as it is in the heavens. Give us Your provision. Forgive us our transgressions, and please help us all to forgive those that have transgressed against us. Deliver us from the evil around us. Refresh our hearts and minds by cleansing and healing them. Restore unto Your people all that has been taken or held back, and destroy the works of those that have caused the stealing and the holding back. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Only Believe

We will face many challenges in our lives as believers. They can be great or small. The challenge is to remember in these times that we serve the Living True God. He is the One that never fails. He is the One that Created all things. He is the one that is in control of everything. A man had a sick daughter that eventually died. In his sorrow, our Master, Yeshuah (Jesus) said these words to him:

Mark 5:35 While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further?
36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.

That had to be challenging, comforting, and encouraging to hear, all at the same time. We can choose to believe, or not. But choices to believe in the face of what appears to be hopeless is not easy. Yest in this case, his daughter lived.

Mark 5:39 And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.
40 And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying.
41 And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.
42 And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.

Miracles do happen. We can receive them from Jesus (Yeshuah), and it will amaze others. We all may experience loss. Perhaps not the death of a human, but perhaps death of a car, a relationship, or some other loss. We can receive life again in these situations, with complete restoration, if we will only believe.

Prayer
Fahter, we exalt You. You alone are our King! Praise the name Yahuah! Send Your will among us. Send us now Your provision. Forgive us our trespasses, and help us to forgive those that have trespassed against us. Restore our hearts and minds. Deliver us from the evil that surrounds us. Rise up, O King, and do a mighty work that only You can do. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
