You Are My Family

It is our privilege to have those that we never knew become members of our family. Some we may never meet. They are our family because they follow after the Messiah and want YAH as their King. Our Messiah actually spoke of this.

Matthew 12:47 Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.
48 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

What a blessing to have a big family. May you find the shalom of YAH in your life today.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here, on earth as it is in heaven. Send me now Your provision. Forgive me my trespasses and transgressions, and help me to forgive those that trespass or transgress against me YAH. Let me be like You. Let me be like You. Keep me from temptations YAH. Deliver me from the evil here and the evil plans men have for me. I love You. I love You. Send the angels now to break through. Let them break through. Let them break through with great substance YAH! I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

We Need Each Other

In this place we call earth, believers need each other in a very desperate way. We need to find ourselves reaching out to those around us and helping with everything that comes our way. It can be overwhelming. But if it is approached with all of us together, we win!

Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

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

Strength In Tough Times

This morning I found myself wanting to be someone that built up my brothers and sisters in the Messiah. YAH led me to a scripture that is just perfect for that purpose and for the times we are in now.

Psalm 27
A Psalm of David.
1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh,
They stumbled and fell.
3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear:
Though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
4 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after;
That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life,
To behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.
5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion:
In the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
6 And now shall mine head be lifted up,
Above mine enemies round about me:
Therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy;
I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.
7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice:
Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
8 When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee,
Thy face, LORD, will I seek.
9 Hide not thy face far from me;
Put not thy servant away in anger:
Thou hast been my help;
Leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
10 When my father and my mother forsake me,
Then the LORD will take me up.
11 Teach me thy way, O LORD,
And lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.
12 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies:
For false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are my. King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here, on earth as it is in heaven. Send me now Your provision. Forgive me my trespasses and transgressions, and help me to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me YAH. I love You. Let me be a light YAH, let me be a light. Let me shine for You, YAH. Let me shine for You. I love You. I love You. I love You. You are my King. Thank You for being my King. I love You. Keep me from temptations here, and deliver me from the evil. Deliver me from the evil plans that men have for me. I love You. Come in power YAH. Be my King. Be my King. I love You. Let Shalom flow from my hands and fingertips to those near and far from me YAH. Let me sing for You. Teach my tongue to sing and my throat to sing and my lungs to sing that my heart might sing to You. I love You. I love You. I ask all these things as Your child Father, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Building In The Dark

Really, I am just like everyone else. I try to understand what all is happening in the world. I try to determine what YAH wants me to be doing in response to what is happening in this world. I want to be following Him in a way that serves Him well. So here I am, trying to build in the dark. What do I mean?

It is my understanding of scriptures that I am responsible for helping my fellow believers. Scriptures tell us to build one another up.

16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

We do this without regard for what is going on around us. We do this in logical speaking (here, “word”) and in actions (here, “deed”). It must be that these things somehow fit into YAH’s plan to have the earth for himself again. That must be true I suspect. I find myself having to force my mind to focus on YAH and away from the things around me to make this all happen. In essence, I have to “go dark” to the inputs of the world to make this all happen. But since I know it is YAH’s will for my life, I know what I must do to make it happen.

May YAH be exalted and glorified forever!

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. Forgive me my trespasses and transgressions, and help me to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me. Deliver me from the evil here, and the evil plans men have for me. I love You YAH. I love You YAH. Keep me from temptations. Help me with my heart, Father. I need You. Send in quickly the healing, prosperity and shalom that You have promised me, O King. I love You . I love You. I love You. I ask all these things of You, my YAH and my King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Love Our Father King

Trying to write the title here was more difficult than expected. It is easy for us as believers to think of YAH in an impersonal way, a third person not present. But the ruth is He is always present with us. He is always here. He is always ready to assist us in all we do. What we do, according to scriptures, is follow Him and His ways and possess the land. Ultimately, the whole earth belongs to YAH. As your brother in the bond of the Messiah, I want to encourage you today to always keep in mind that YAH is always with us. He is always present to assist us in whatever the challenge may be.

Deuteronomy 31:8 And the LORD, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.

Be of good courage, brothers and sisters.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here, on earth as it is in heaven. Send me now Your provision. Forgive me my trespasses and transgressions, and help me to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me. I want to love Your people more like You. More like You, YAH, I want to be more like You. Keep me from temptations, YAH. Deliver me from the evil here, and from the evil plans men have for me. Confound their words. Turn the heart of the leader, and eliminate those of evil intent toward me YAH. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Because It Matters

People ask me sometimes why I hold the somewhat unique views that I do. I say it is because it matters. I try to be the best person I can be according to YAH’s plan. That includes doing what I can when I can to build up those around me. Not always an easy task, I do this, again, because it matters.

Leviticus 19:16 Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbour: I am the LORD.
17 Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him.
18 Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Praise the name YAHAUH! YAHUAH! 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. Forgive me my trespasses and transgressions, and help me to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me. Keep me from temptations YAH. Deliver me from the evil here, and from the evil plans men have for me. I love You YAH. I love You. Restore one thousandfold all the good that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and the more besides. I ask all these things of You my King, O YAHUAH, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Building Is Work

Today I find myself in an uncertain world. It is unclear as to where the activities of the men and governments are taking us. In an Information Age, we find ourselves equally in a Disinformation Age. It is troubling, or can be. However, as believers we have to reach within ourselves to determine what can be done. Above all, we can follow the path laid out before us by our Messiah Yeshuah. We can choose to build one another up and build ourselves up. These are clearly choices that we can make freely if we will but do it. Yes, it can be or can seem to be a challenge. But we can be up to that challenge if we allow it.

Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are my King. My hope is in You. I love You YAH. I praise the name YAH! I 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 Provisions YAH, that they might overflow to those around me. Keep me in Your ways O King. Forgive me my trespasses and transgressions, and help me to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me YAH. I need Your forgiveness and removal of all that is not like You. Keep me from the temptations YAH. Deliver me from the evil here, and from the evil plans men have for me. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Where To Begin

Thinking about how to build our fellow believers up, it makes me question how. It seems that there are general things that can be done and said. It is always good to speak encouraging words to someone. If I speak positively to another believer, both of us receive that blessing of hearing something positive. It is always good to try to do good deeds toward another person. If I help someone with their physical life, like shoveling snow, cutting grass, giving them a ride – all of these are general events that I can do at any time and it is a benefit to the individual. And there may be times when YAH reveals a specific need, spiritually or physically, that the person has. For me, I like a general one that Paul recommends in a letter he once wrote.

Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

So, as interesting as it sounds, we can always begin with a song.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here, on earth as it is in heaven. Send me now Your provision. Forgive me my trespasses and transgressions, and help me to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me. I love You. Keep me from temptations, YAH. Deliver me from the evil here and from the evil plans men have for me. I love You, my King. I love You. Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable, O King. I love You. Heal the many in need of healing. I love You. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

You Can Win

To all my fellow believers out there, I am reaching out to you to say that I understand how rough it can be in the mind. I understand that the thoughts we face everyday can seem overwhelming. I understand that you are searching for an answer. Today, I want you to know, you can win. You can win the battle in the mind. You can win over the voice that says that you cannot, that you’re not good enough, smart enough, attractive enough, or anything else. The mind is important and YAH gave you yours.

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.

Allow me to paraphrase. We are to give all of our physical being to God. We are not to be patterned after the times, but be changed (physical body, right?) by the renewing of the mind (making better thinking) so that we can show what is the good, acceptable, and perfect will of God. And all of this is focused on our physical being.

Clearly, the controlling of our mind is a key, or this would not appear in scriptures. And when we do it, the result is a physical body worthy of a sacrifice. Actually, this is the first time I am making this connection for myself. I am seeing that the mind is an even more important key to the victory manifestation than I ever thought possible. Praise YAH!

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are King. You alone are my 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. Forgive me my trespasses and transgressions, and help me to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me. Keep me from temptations here. Deliver me from the evil here. Deliver me from the evil plans that men have for me. Let me know Your ways that I might teach them to many O YAH. I love You. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMasiach. Amen.

Work Is Good

Thinking this morning of how important it is to build each other up in the kingdom. Yes, this is a common topic. But being a common topic does not make it any less important. If anything, it would seem that it must be important because how often it is discussed or considered. Clearly it is important to God as well. So many scriptures address the idea of helping our neighbors and friends is likened unto the nature of YAH. One that comes to mind is one that speaks to a result that would come to pass if we were to execute well the task of building each other up.

PSALM 133 A Song of degrees of David.
1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
For brethren to dwell together in unity!
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.

Today I will choose to have an attitude to be one that builds another up. And of course myself as well. Not sure why it is, but it seems like it is difficult to do. But it is worth doing.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here, on earth as it is in heaven. Send me now Your provision. Forgive me my trespasses and transgressions, and help me to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me. I need You now. Help me please. I ask all these things of You Father King, and to be delivered from the evil here, and temptations, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.
