Take A Step

It appears that our lives are really a journey. We are making a trek toward the throne room of the King to spend eternity with Him. This is the goal for me for sure. It has not been easy as there have been many distractions along the way. But as long as we take the next step, we are still on the journey. Time to step!

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Praise the name YAHUAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here, on earth as it is in heaven. Send me now Your provision. Let it overflow. Let it overflow. Forgive me my trespasses and transgressions YAH. I forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me YAH. Love You. I love You. I love You. Keep me in Your ways that I might be a blessing to You O my king. Keep me from temptations YAH. Deliver me from the evil here and the evil plans men have for me. Let them not alight O my King. I love You. I love You. I love You. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yahusha HaMashiach. Amen.

If We Try

We will make it if we try. Often I have not fully appreciated the last part of this sentence. If I never try, I never get the opportunity to learn and succeed or fail. And even in a fail scenario, I still win because I learn from these moments as well. YAH is on our side, and we will win. But to win means we must have something to win over. This is why we need YAH and His love. We win.

Psalms 121:1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills,
From whence cometh my help.
2 My help cometh from the LORD,
Which made heaven and earth.
3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved:
He that keepeth thee will not slumber.
4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel
Shall neither slumber nor sleep.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Praise the name YAHUAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here, on earth as it is in heaven.

Be Of Good Cheer

Many of us that have read the scriptures recognize this as something our Messiah Yahusha has said to us. He says it because He already won the battle for us. For me, I read a passage this morning that was particularly good and encouraging. Sometimes I just like to “sit” with a scripture for a bit to gain the full benefit of it. When I do that, it settles within me into something far more magnificent and I am reminded of the presence of YAH with and in me.

Psalm 1:1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners,
Nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD;
And in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
That bringeth forth his fruit in his season;
His leaf also shall not wither;
And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

Prayer
Father, I love You, I love You, I love You. You are King. YAHUAH is King. And I love You.Let Your kingdom come here and let Your will be done here on earth as it is in heaven. Send me now Your provision. Let it overflow. Let it overflow. Use me O king, to let it overflow. Forgive me my trespasses and transgressions YAH. I forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me YAH. I love You. Keep me in Your ways. Deliver me from the evil here and the evil plans men have for me. I love You. Let prosperity flow O King, and let it flow today. Set me free O my King. I love You. I love You. I love You. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yahusha HaMashiach. Amen.

Repurposed Life

Today I am thinking about how a person can spend much of their life wandering, sometimes in the path of God and other times not so much. But our Father ALWAYS will be merciful to us when we try to find our way back onto the path. Many situations and experiences will come and go in life. But when you get to the end, what do you want to be waiting there? For me, I hope to be able to see where I have been and how I have attempted to always make my way back to YAH. He is always there for us.

Psalm 130:1 Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD.
2 Lord, hear my voice:
Let thine ears be attentive
To the voice of my supplications.
3 If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities,
O Lord, who shall stand?
4 But there is forgiveness with thee,
That thou mayest be feared.
5 I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait,
And in his word do I hope.
6 My soul waiteth for the Lord
More than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.
7 Let Israel hope in the LORD: For with the LORD there is mercy,
And with him is plenteous redemption.
8 And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

Prayer
Father, I love You and I exalt You, O King! You alone are King. You alone are King. Prais the name YAH! Praise the name YAHUAH! Let Your Kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here, on earth as it is in heaven. Send me now Your provision. Let it overflow. Let it overflow. Forgive me, forgive, O my King, all my trespasses and transgressions YAH. I forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me YAH. I love You. I love You. Care for them O my King, and draw them to You. Keep me from temptations YAH and keep me in Your ways. Deliver me from the evil here and the evil plans men have for me. I love You. Let me be a signor good YAH. I love You. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yahusha HaMashiach. Amen.

Every Ladder Is Just Steps

Thinking today about my journey with YAH and what it takes to make it to the next place in time and improvement.I had a vision of a ladder that reached to the heavens. Looking up, I could easily see it was steps. Looking down I was a long way from the ground. With both views there was an opportunity to be afraid. I literally felt that pit of the stomach feeling when I am actually high in the air. But then I could see that if I just focused on the next step, the fear was gone. I could do the next step, then the next, and so on. We will have times in our lives when we likely will jump steps. But in all situations if we will just keep taking the next step, we can make it with YAH’s help!

Proverbs:9 A man’s heart deviseth his way:
But the LORD directeth his steps.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Praise the name YAHUAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here, on earth as it is in heaven. Send me now Your provision. Let it overflow. Let it overflow. Forgive me my trespasses and transgressions YAH. I forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me YAH. I love You. I love You. Keep me in Your ways. Deliver me from the evil here and the evil plans men have for me. I love You. I love You. I love You. Blow away the papers and let them not alight. I love You. I ask all the things of You Father King in the name YAH Yahusha HaMashiach. Amen.

Psalm 134 A Song of Degrees

1 Behold, bless ye the LORD,
All ye servants of the LORD,
Which by night stand in the house of the LORD.
2 Lift up your hands in the sanctuary,
And bless the LORD.
3 The LORD that made heaven and earth
Bless thee out of Zion.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Praise the name YAHUAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here, on earth as it is in heaven. Send me now Your provision. Let it overflow. Let it overflow. I love You. Forgive me my trespasses and transgressions YAH. I forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me YAH. I love You. Lead me not into distraction, but deliver me from evil and the evil plans men have for me. Deliver me my King. Deliver m now. Let it be said that You alone are King. I love You. I love You. I love You. Today is the day. I love You. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yahusha HaMashiach. Amen.

Psalm 127 A Song of Degrees

1 Except the LORD build the house,
They labour in vain that build it:
Except the LORD keep the city,
The watchman waketh but in vain.
2 It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows:
For so he giveth his beloved sleep.
3 Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD:
And the fruit of the womb is his reward.
4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man;
So are children of the youth.
5 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them:
They shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.

Prayer
Father I exalt You. You are my King, You are King. Praise the name YAH! Praise the name YAHUAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here, on earth as it is in heaven. Send me now Your provision. I love You. I love You. Hear my cry in my distress. Forgive me my trespasses and transgressions YAH. I forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me YAH. I love You. Keep me in Your ways. Deliver me from the evil here and the evil plans men have for me. Let the them not alight and blow them away with the whirlwind spirits. You are King. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yahuasha HaMashiach. Amen.

The Journey

In early biblical times the Jewish people made the trek to Jerusalem three times a year, including Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread. The road there was an inclined upward road. There is a series of Psalms they would sing on the journey. This year my posts will be these Psalms until they are completed.

Psalm 120 A Song of degrees.
1 In my distress
I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.
2 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips,
And from a deceitful tongue.
3 What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?
4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech,
That I dwell in the tents of Kedar!
6 My soul hath long dwelt
With him that hateth peace.
7 I am for peace:
But when I speak, they are for war.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Praise the name YAHUAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here, on earth as it is in heaven. Send me now Your provision. Let it overflow. Let it overflow. Forgive me my trespasses and transgressions YAH. I forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me YAH. I love You. Keep me in Your ways. Deliver me from the evil here and the evil plans men have for me. I love You. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yahusha HaMashiach. Amen.

Keep Doing It!

The one thing that strikes me is how I personally can forget to do certain things on a regular basis. I do remember to pray everyday. But do I encourage myself and others everyday? No, not always. And the funny thing is, I have that as an intention. Yet, I let the days get away from me at times. Today, I choose not to let that happen. Today I will encourage someone.

Proverbs 22:4 By humility and the fear of the LORD
Are riches, and honour, and life.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Praise the name YAHUAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here, on earth as it is in heaven. Send me now Your provision. Let it overflow. Forgive me my trespasses and transgressions YAH. I forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me now. Keep me in Your ways. Deliver me from the evil here and the evil plans men have for me. I love You. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yahusha HaMashiach. Amen.

Fear Not

This phrase or some form of it is stated some 365 times in scripture or so I have heard it reported. To me, this number of times for YAH to have this stated in the scriptures indicates it is important for us to know. At least one place in the scriptures, specifically in the recording in Mark of the story of the daughter of Jairus, the Greek word for fear is the same word we use to create our word “phobia” in English. A phobia is considered an irrational excessive fear of something. Someone with a phobia will typically be triggered by the situation as if they are “grabbed” by it and often extreme anxiety or panic kicks in. When Yahusha said to Jairus, “Fear not, only believe” He was actually countering the report that had just come through people that had spoken that the daughter was dead. This most certainly would be a tough situation for any parent. But we see that through belief, the little girl was raised from the dead.

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.
37 And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.
38 And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.
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.
43 And he charged them straitly that no man should know it; and commanded that something should be given her to eat.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Praise the name YAHUAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here, on earth as it is in heaven. Send me now Your provision. Let it overflow. Let it overflow. Forgive me my trespasses and transgressions YAH. I forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me YAH. I love You. I love You. Keep me in Your ways. Deliver me from the evil here and the evil plans men have for me. Allow me to bring Your healings and miracles to pass O my King. Let the guardians defend and destroy the evil against me that it falls away and You alone are seen as the King and Deliverer. I love You. I love You. I love You. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yahusha HaMashiach. Amen.
