Help Is On The Way

When we cry out to God, we want immediate results. But what we need to know is that help is dispatched immediately. So is resistance. Good always prevails. It was so with Daniel.

Daniel 10:13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.

Hold on. If you feel that the help you cried out for is not around, it is. It was dispatched when you asked. Just hold on.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are our King. Bring Your kingdom here, now. Bless the name Yahuah. Send us Your provision, Heal us. Deliver us. In Yeshuah’s (Jesus’) name. Amen.

There Is Always Possibility

How often in life have we come up against a challenge that seems REALLY big, and we have thought, “That’s just impossible” and then, somehow over time, it is overcome? When we face these challenges they always seem to big on the front side. But once they have been laid to rest, we do not see them in that same light. We see that they can be in fact set in perspective. And often in my case, those things that have been laid to rest were done so by the power of God. Looking back I can see Him moving doing wondrous things to make these events occur in a way that cause me to succeed. The challenge for me, and perhaps for those that read this message, is to be able to have that perspective up front. How can we get that perspective. The scriptures provide us with some insight here.

Mark 9:23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.

The response of our Messiah was not rebuke for the struggle. The response here to the truth of crying out about difficulty in believing was for Him to set the person free from the evil spirits. And He repeated this saying later.

Mark 10:26 And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved?
27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.

Here Messiah was referring to the difficulty for the wealthy to be saved. The difficulty was that the person in question trusted in his riches, and not in Messiah. We see again that if we will trust, all things are possible.

Today, if you are strugggling with an overwhelming task, remember, all things are possible. Cry out to God, and He will help you to believe.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. We love You. We need Your kingdom here. We need Your presence with us. We want to believe. Praise the name Yahuah (Lord)! Send us today Your abundant provision. We ask You forgive us for our sins. Heal up our hearts. Deliver us from the evil that is in this world, that steals from us, and is trying to destroy us and our families. Help us to serve You every day. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

How God Sees Us

Our Father looks at us like any loving father looks at his children, only more so. What I mean is this, He is the perfect Father, therefore He has perfect love toward His children. He sees our beauty and overlooks our faults. What we think are our imperfections He sees as uniquenesses. I am not speaking of sin of course, but those things like a raspy off key voice, a big nos, big ears (I have all of these), all of these and more to Him make us beautiful. How can we know this? Because He had it written down in His live letter to us. You may have read it – it’s called the Bible. Here is just one scripture that proves what I say.

Psalms 96:6 Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

Today, WE individually and collectively are His sanctuary, His temple. Paul tells us that.

1 Corinthians 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

Since we are the sanctuary, and the sanctuary is in the temple, then our Father Yahuah (Lord) sees strength and beauty in us when He looks at us. And in truth, that is how we were made. We were made in His image. The fall tarnished that. The lives we have led tarnished that. But the good news is, God already washed that all away when we asked and continue to ask for forgiveness. When that is washed away, what is left is something that resembles God, with strength and beauty. That is what God sees when He looks at us.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are worthy to be King. You are our King. We want Your kingdom here.Praise the name Yahuah! Send us today a very different day, Yahuah (Lord). Let today be that day when You manifest Your greatness when You manifest an overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins, Father. And we thank You for all of the strength You have given us to overcome temptation to sin. Continue to heal our hearts and our minds, for they have been infected with doubt and unbelief for many years. We need the ointment of Your Holy Spirit to sooth those wounds and heal them. Deliver us from the enemy that even now steals from Your people while they sleep, and the more so when they are awake. Crush the works of the enemy Yahuah (Lord). Rise up and grind it to powder, and scatter it in a whirlwind. Come now Yahuah with a strong hand and an outstretched arm to deliver Your people Yahuah (Lord). We ask all these things in the name of Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Believe In God

We have one High Priest, our Messiah Yeshua (Jesus), who has made one sacrifice once for all.

Hebrews 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.
14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus) also tells us that if we believe, all things are possible.

Mark 9:23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.

Today, I want to leave with a simple thought.

When all seems to be failing, just believe.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are Master and You are King. We love You and long for Your kingdom. Praise and bless the name Yahuah! Send us today Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins. We need Your healing touch, and only You can truly heal. We need Your mighty deliverance, and only You have the power to destroy our enemies and their works. Come quickly and grind to powder our enemies until they repent of their evil towards Your people, acknowledging that You are the One and Only True God, Yahuah! We ask these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Moving Forward

In life we always move forward, even when it feels like we don’t. How can that be? Because time keeps going. By definition we are farther along than we were even moments ago. The challenge can be to make this moment be more valuable that yesterday. But we have help in that, if we will surrender and believe, our Father will help us to move forward.

Deuteronomy 1:30 The Lord your God which goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes;
31 And in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that the Lord thy God bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came into this place.

Life is not always easy or hard. It is always a series of events that Yahuah (Lord) is using to move us on with Him. When we put crud in the foundation, we have to remove it and start again. But our Father wants to be with us and always turns to us when we turn to Him.

Malachi 3:7 Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the Lord of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return?

Today, let’s return to our Father and He will turn to us and be our God, and we will be His people.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are King. The world is troublesome to us. We need Your kingdom. We need You. We praise the name Yahuah. Send us today Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins. Heal us and deliver us. Destroy the works of those out to destroy us. We are calling to You. Hear our cries today, Yahuah, and come to our aid. We ask these things in the name of Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

It Takes Hearing To Do

We all want to “do the right thing” as believers. Yes, there are times when a part of us wants to go in a bad direction, that part of us that still needs cleansing. If we are to do the right thing, however, we must be hearing the right things. There are places in the scriptures where the Hebrew indicates this.

Deuteronomy 6:4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord:
5 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:
7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.
9 And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.

The word “Hear” in verse four means to hear and to then do. What we see in this word is that doing is tied to hearing. Why is this important? Because we can control what we hear, for the most part. There is a key area to address here.

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?
13 Neither 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.

The only person on the planet that hears every word that comes out of your mouth is you. Each of us is therefore the single biggest contributor to what we hear, and therefore what we can do. This is why meditation is so important. It literally means to mumble to one’s self. If we will mumble the commandments of God to ourselves, we create the possibility that we can do them. Whatever we say we create the possibility that we will do.

Today, let’s strive to say good things that we might do the will of our Father, Yahuah (Lord).

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are our King. We love and appreciate You. We bless the name Yahuah. Let Your kingdom be with us. Send today Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins. Heal us and deliver us from all the evil here. Protect Your children from the thieves that would steal what You have provided. Come with a strong hand and outstretched arm to crush those works of theft from Your people. We ask all of these things in the name of Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

We Can Take The Next Step

There is something that we believers can look to and be encouraged. We can take the next step in the right direction, always. Why is that? Because our Father is always there trying to get us to return to Him, to turn away from doing our own thing, and turn to His ways.

Zechariah 1:3 Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Turn ye unto me, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will turn unto you, saith the Lord of hosts.

If we turn to Yahuah of hosts, He will turn to us. This is why the Law is so important. No human on the earth today can do it perfectly. It is like a mirror. It always shows us where we went wrong. That causes us to mourn our sin, and cry out for forgiveness. When we cry out to Yeshuah (Jesus) for forgiveness, He forgives us. Without that mirror we might continue in our sins.

The good news for us believers is no person can keep the Law, though we try. All people can seek and receive forgiveness if they are willing to confess their sins and turn them and their lives over to the Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus) who was crucified, bled, died, and rose again that we might have life forever with Him.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. We praise the name Yahuah. We need Your kingdom here that we might dwell in unity. We need You. Send us today Your overwhelming blessing of provision. Forgive us our sins. Turn to us as we turn to You. Bless the workings of our hands today. Keep us on right paths. Heal up our hearts. Deliver us from those that would steal from us what You alone have provided. Crush the workings of those that oppress us and steal Your provision. We ask these things in the name of Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Free To Believe

We are free to believe that our Father in heaven, Yahuah (Lord), is on our side.

Hebrews 11:6But 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.

We are free to believe that Yahuah (Lord) has given us the power to gain salvation. That power is in believing in the heart and speaking with the mouth.

Romans 10:5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
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.)
8 But 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.
11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

We are free to believe that with the confession of our sin to Yahuah (Lord) and asking forgiveness, our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus) comes into our lives and we are born again unto eternal life.

John 3:1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

And we are free to believe that if Yahuah (Lord) is on our side and always keeps His word, that we have the power to do good and receive the blessings promised.

Dueteronomy 30:10 If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.
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?
13 Neither 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.
15 See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;
16 In that I command thee this day to love the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the Lord thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.
17 But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them;
18 I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it.
19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

We are free to believe what comes out of our mouth. In fact, as Moses and Paul teach, we will believe what comes out of our mouth. We must take control of our minds enough to say the truth out of our mouth enough that we hear it and get it into our heart that we can believe it. Once we believe it and ask it of our Father, we know that we have it and it will come to pass.

Be of good cheer, for He has overcome the world.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are the One, You are the King. We want and need Your kingdom here. We bless the name Yahuah (Lord). Send us today Your overwhelming blessing such that we cannot contain it, overflowing to those around us. Forgive us our sins and help us to get back to the right path. Heal up and strengthen our hearts to believe. Deliver us from the evil that would steal from us what You alone have provided and destroy their workings. Go before us and prepare the way that all men would hear Your words when we speak them. Go before us and turn the hearts of the kings that they would respond and give us favor. Go before us and have them give to us great substance. Go behind us and prevent them from overtaking us to steal from us and destroy us. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

The Future Comes

These days when I talk with believers often the conversation ends up being about concerns for the future, coming events, and end times. I would agree that we should be thinking of these things. However, it is best thought of from a position of victory, not a position of defeat. We have a heavenly Father that loves us very much. That has now and will not change. We can count on Him in good and bad times. He is not going to be changing. That means we can know that He will be there when we call to Him. He will guide us through the events of our lives. He has gotten the entire world to this point, and all has gone as foretold so far, right? I am sure He has no intent of changing what He has said suddenly. He will do what He said He will do.

Isaiah 55:11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.

We can count on Him! Yahuah (Lord) never fails!

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are the true and holy King! Praise the name Yahuah! Let Your kingdom reign here. Send us today Your overwhelming abundant provision. Forgive us our sins. Heal up our hearts. Deliver us from the destroyer and the thief. Restore unto us the joy of salvation. Come quickly. We ask all of this in the name of Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

When We Know

There are times when the challenges seem a little much. One could say they seem overwhelming. When these challenges occur, we must face what we truly believe. This is an interesting point for the believer, for we know the God we serve, and we know how He looks after His children. His name is Yahuah savuot (Lord of hosts), and He never fails. We look at our surroundings, and we see inside that He never fails. We are left with only the peace to know that what ever comes next, He is with us and on our side.

John 1:12 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:

Our Father takes care of His children. Behold what manner of love the Father has given unto us!

1 John 3:1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

Today, let us remember our Father Yahuah (Lord), and that we have been given the privilege to become the sons and daughters of our God.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are our King. We need Your kingdom here. We bless Your name Yahuah. Send us today Your overwhelming abundant blessing that overflows our ability to contain it. Forgive us our sins. Heal us. Deliver us from those that are trying to steal what You alone have provided. In Yeshuah’s (Jesus’) name. Amen.
