Those That Continue

To continue in something is actually one of the most powerful options available to us as humans. If we will choose not to give up when challenges appear, we can overcome anything that keeps us from experiencing all that our Father has for us. All we need to do is just continue in that moment. We don’t have to think about next year, next month, next week, or even tomorrow. All we need to do is just continue in that one moment… and we win!

Galatians 6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

Today, let’s just continue!

Prayer
Father, we exalt You! You are our King! Praise the name YAH! Let Your will be done here with us. 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. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and the more besides. 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! Amen.

Just Keep Trying

We have an unusual life to live as believers. Many people practice and practice until they get really good at something. Then they get a limited number of chances to perform their talent. As believers we live out our calling everyday. We learn from our Father as we go. While we are learning, our Father protects us. And we are the winners from the beginning.

Deuteronomy 28:12 The Lord shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.
13 And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the Lord thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:
14 And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.

Today, let us all just keep trying, and asking our Father to show us the way.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are our King! Praise the name YAH! Let Your will be done in this earth as it is in heaven. 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. Wipe away every thought or memory of evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You. Heal up our hearts and minds. Deliver us from the evil here. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all the good 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 of You, Father, in Your name, YAH! Amen.

Another Day

SO horrible news comes to us here in the US overnight. A crazy person killed many and wounded many more at a music concert. As of yet, there appear to be no answers. It is a sad day indeed when such an event happens. All we can do is pray that those that survived be healed, and that we can discover how to prevent such things in the future. That said, Today I post a scripture for us all.

Psalms 23:A Psalm of David.
1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King! Praise the name YAH! Let Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Send us 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 the thoughts and memories of evil done to us or by us. Replace them with thoughts and memories of only you. Heal us up from the inside. Heal the broken-hearted that are victims of tragedy. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all the good that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people. Rise up and heal today, and restore 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! Amen.

Speaking Good Things

What we say with our lips is important. This is stated over and over again in the scriptures. Our Messiah said it.

Mark 11:21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.
22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

Moses spoke of this as well.

Deuteronomy 30:11 For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off.
12 It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
13Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
14 But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.

Paul quotes this when speaking about being born again.

Romans 10:6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)
7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)
8But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

The word for “salvation” in the Greek means wholeness or completeness in every way. Yes, this is for our eternal salvation. But our eternal salvation is a physical presence in a new physical body like our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). So, our speaking addresses all manner of condition of the human, spirit, soul, and body. Paul repeats this a bit later in this same chapter.

Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

The word in the Greek here that is translated “word” is actually rhema, which means utterance. Therefore it is the utterance of God that brings faith. Paul gives even more detail in the letter to the Ephesians.

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;

The sword of the Spirit is the rhema of the Spirit, or the utterance of the Spirit. If we will use our mouth for the good in life and say only the good, and praying in the Spirit as Paul has directed here, we see that when mixed with faith in God, we change the world. Today, let’s say that which is good.

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. Send us today Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us to forgive all those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Wipe away all thoughts or memories of evil done to us or by us. Restore now relationships that have been strained or broken between brethren. Restore now the possessions and finances one thousandfold that have been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and the more besides, that the kingdom might be advanced mightily. Show us a sign for good that all men might know that You alone are God. Deliver us from the evil that is here. 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! Amen.

Knowing We Can

As believers we are given the instruction in scriptures about how we are to live our lives.

2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

Our Messiah told us that if we believe we can control this physical world by our speaking.

Mark 11:21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.
22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

It seems that we are to understand that when we pray our Father responds. We must believe that this is so. WE must also forgive those that we might have anything against, that we might get to peace, I suggest. Then we are to not have any doubt that we will have these things in our lives.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are our King. Praise and bless the name Yah! Let Your will be done in this earth as it is in heaven. Send us this day Your daily overwhelming provision, that it might overflow from us to others. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Wipe away any thoughts or memories of evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts or memories of You. Deliver us from the evil here and heal us up thoroughly from our most inner parts. Restore one thousandfold all the good that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and the more besides. 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! Amen.

Evidence For Winning

Likely all of us as believers have at one time or another sought something of our Father through prayer. When we pray and ask Him for a certain thing, we need faith in our asking. Our Messiah said this very thing.

John 14:11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.

If we have this belief, this faith, then we can receive that which we ask of Him.

John 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

When we ask of the Father in the name of our Messiah, our Messiah will do it.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your will be done in this earth as it is in heaven. Send us this day 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 completely and without any trace all thoughts or memories of evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You. Heal us in our hearts, minds, and bodies completely. Deliver us from the evil here. Restore unto Your people one hundredfold all of the good – the relationships, the prosperity, and the possessions – that have been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and the more besides. 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. Amen.

Early Morning Blessings

This morning after not feeling well for two days our Father had me get up for the sunrise. As I sipped my first cup of coffee I looked into the back yard of my house and saw an adult and three good sized young turkeys walking across my yard. This is the first time they have ever entered the fenced in area near my home. Shortly there after my dog ran outside and chased them away. But it was interesting to watch them move through the yard. It reminded me that they are a sign of abundance. It will be interesting to watch over the coming days to see just what our Father is saying in His creation.

Isaiah 60:5 Then you shall see and become radiant,
And your heart shall swell with joy;
Because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you,
The wealth of the Gentiles shall come to you.

So we see that wealth is on the way. Our Father never fails.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your will be done here as it is in the heavens. Send us this day 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 any thoughts or memories of evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You. Deliver us from the evil here. Restore one hundredfold all the good, the provision, and the prosperity that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and the more besides. 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. Amen.

Making A Point

Our Father gives us the opportunity and the ability to move forward in life. By that I mean we can make a way to get to the end in a victorious way. Along the way there can be events that we just do not understand. What does this mean for us when those events occur? This is a difficult question to address because we want life to go well. When it does not, or at least we think it does not, we have a difficult time understanding why.

Malachi 3:14 Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the Lord of hosts?
15 And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.
16 Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name.
17 And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.
18 Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.

From scripture it appears that there will come a time when the evil is driven out and our Father will remember those that feared Him and thought about His name. Until then we will need to just serve Him and daily seek His truth that we may know it.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King! Praise and bless the name YAH! Father, let Your will be done here as it is in heaven. Send us today Your overwhelming provision that it might overflow to those around us. Forgive us for our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Wipe away all the thoughts and memories of the evil done to us and by us. Replace them with thoughts and memories of only You. Heal our hearts and minds. Deliver us from the evil here. Restore unto Your people one hundredfold all the good that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and the more besides. We need You desperately now, Father. We need You more than ever. Help us to understand what You have in store for us. Help us to walk in Your ways. 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! Amen.

Buck Up

It is easy for many of us to let the days role by. But are we really meant to do that? Perhaps we are meant to uncover what is really going on in our lives. By that I mean what our Father is doing that we might walk in agreement to it. We must be strong.

Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

If we will speak as our Father speaks, then we need not be dismayed or discouraged.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are our King! Praise the name YAH! Let Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Send us Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us to forgive all those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Wipe away all thoughts or memories of evil done to us or by us. Replace these with thoughts and memories of only You. Deliver us from the evil here. Restore unto Your people one hundredfold all the good that has been taken or held back in any way. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We ask these things of You, Father, in Your name, YAH. Amen.

Working On It

We are all working to get to a certain goal in life. It may be as simple as just living each day until we have no more days. Or it could be to achieve certain financial, material, educational, or professional goals. While any of this we are free to do, for some of us I believe there is something else. WE feel drawn to something more than these considerations. This is not to put these down or dismiss or demean these in any way. For some of us, we know that there is something else. I suggest that it might be that we are to follow our Father and His path. We are to be close to Him.

Psalms 42:1 As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.
2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?
3 My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?
4 When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.
5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.

We have the option in life to pursue our Father and His ways, or not. We know that in His way there is help. We need only follow that way. We need only realize that the longing inside of us is to follow Him and His way.

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. Send us today Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Remove and utterly wipe away all thoughts or memories of evil done to us or by us. Replace them with thoughts and memories of only You. Deliver us from the evil here. Turn the hearts of men to hear You Father. Give us Your favor today, and move men today. We assk all these things in the name of our Father YAH – You my God and King! We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
