You CAN Do It!

You were fearfully and wonderfully made!

Psalms 139:14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

When the enemy comes to condemn us, we need only say to ourselves out loud this scripture, knowing that YAH new us from before He formed us. He will finish in us what He alone began.

Psalms 139:17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
19 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.
20 For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.
21 Do not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
22 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

You matter to our Father, God! He is King and has a plan in place for You from before You existed. Trust in Him and His plan, and seek to find His way everlasting.

Prayer
Father, we 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 us now Your 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. Keep us from temptations. Let us shine Your light before all men that they might know that You alone are King, You alone are God. Restore substance and prosperity. Raise up Scotty, that He might testify of You. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Keep Believing

We need to understand that we have been given an amazing gift from our Father. We have been given abundant life!

John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

Abundant life is not things, or not just things at least. Abundance in the heart of the love of YAH is the abundance.

We must keep believing and striving for that abundance in the heart. It is the only way to the fullness of joy and life that Yeshuah has promised.

Prayer
Father, we 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 us Your provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Deliver us from evil and from temptation. Let Your kingdom reign, YAH, let it reign. We ask all these things of You Father, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Capable Of Greatness

As believers, we are all capable of great things. How do we know this? Our Messiah has declared it!

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.
15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

We have the ability to ask the Father in Yeshuah’s name for the same and greater works to be done through us, and Yeshuah will do them to the glory of the Father. Let that sink in a moment.

Today, let’s be about our Father’s business, asking Him for the same and greater works!

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here in the hearts and minds and bodies of Your people. Let Your will be done here so perfectly, 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 hose that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Deliver us from the evil here, that has held back and stolen Your blessings from us. Deliver us from temptations. For it is Your kingdom within us, and Your power that flows through us, and to Your glory, forever and ever. Magnify the restoration of substance and prosperity and healings. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen and Amen. Amen.

Day Of Atonement

Depending on the calendar that you keep, today is Tishri 10. In scripture, it is the Day of Atonement.

Leviticus 23:26 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
27 Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord.
28 And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the Lord your God.
29 For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people.
30 And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people.
31 Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
32 It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath.

Today, we consider our transgressions of the Law, our sin. There is a great context for our lives than what is seen with our eyes. That context is the plan of YAH. We are a part of that plan, and need only be willing to follow it, and then publish the peace of God in the doing of it.

Prayer
Father, we 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 us now Your 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, for it is in many places. Keep us from temptations, that we might live for You. Father, we need Your hand to deliver the Mighty workings of loosening the hold of the enemy on all You have provided. Only You, only You, only You can do these things because it is Your glory and Your power and Your kingdom that must prevail. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen and Amen.

You Can

This morning as I thought about encouraging others, I was trying to think of how each of us can be encouraging to the others around us. For many of us, it is as simple as deciding that we will be encouraging, and then just doing it.Think about it. How long does it really take to be encouraging to someone? A pleasant word in passing, a text of a favorite saying or scripture, a social media post about a better day – all of these are easy and quick. We just need to have a heart towards it.

Proverbs 16:23 The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips.
24 Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

Today, let’s all try being a blessing to those around us. Take that moment to do and say something positive. Watch what happens by the end of the day.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here in the hearts and minds and bodies of Your people, and let Your will be done here, on earth as it is in heaven. Send us now Your provision. Let it 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. We are frail, and we need Your help so deliver us now. Keep us from following temptation. Be our reminder. Strengthen our hearts that we might teach our lips. For we love You. Yes, we love You. Restore all the substance and prosperity that has been taken or lost or held back in any way from Your people, and the more besides. Only You can do this. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen and Amen and Amen.

Trust In…

If today you are looking into the face of what may seem like overwhelming odds, then you are most fortunate indeed. I am not trying to be flip here, as I am in that same situation. Looking at things with the natural eye, there are many huge challenges in front of me. Since we are all in this together, it was important to me to have something we could all use to not just endure the tough times, but to overcome them in victory.

There have been times in my life when I have been crying our to our Father, but in grave desperation. And in those times, there have been times when I have been very saddened and upset at God as well. Still other times I have been at peace. It is in a mixture of those different times that YAH has delivered me, often with a greater deliverance that I had anticipated. It made me wonder about what it is that I can rely on and trust in such that I can stand on the edge of the sea, and walk in knowing that YAH will part the waters. A Psalm came to me that reminded me about where to place my trust.

Psalms 20 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
1 The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee;
2 Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;
3 Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah.
4 Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel.
5 We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the Lord fulfil all thy petitions.
6 Now know I that the Lord saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.
7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the Lord our God.
8 They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.
9 Save, Lord: let the king hear us when we call.

Our Father is more real than anything we see with our eyes or think with our minds or fear with our hearts. If we will but trust in Him and His name, we can know that we are His children, and He will deliver us.

Prayer
Father, we 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 us now Your 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. Deliver us from the evil here. Lead us away from temptations. It is Your kingdom and power that we long for in our hearts, minds, and bodies. Restore unto Your people all the prosperity that has been taken or held back in any way one thousandfold, and do it suddenly. Let it be this day, Father. Show us a sign for good that all men might know that You alone are King and You alone have done these things. Let us walk in dry sandals.  We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Building In-Kingdom

Thinking this morning about the task we are all given of building one another up, there was one thing in particular that came to mind. It is good to build people up in a way that better enables them to serve in the kingdom of God. We are to be about our Father’s business, therefore we want to help our fellow believers be better equipped for that. All of this is important because we are trying to sort things out in our own lives, and so are our brothers and sisters.

Maybe the one of the best ways is to just live out an example of saying and doing scriptures. This is in the scriptures in several places. Here is one of my favorites.

Nahum 1:7 The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.

15 Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace! O Judah, keep thy solemn feasts, perform thy vows: for the wicked shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut off.

Today, let’s all encourage one another to say and do scriptures, thereby we publish peace.

Prayer
Father, we 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 us now Your 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. Let us not be tempted more than we can stand. This is Your king. The power is Yours. Let us be with You Father. Let us publish Your Law. We need You now. Send in Your peosperity. Show us a sign for good. We ask all these things of You Father, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen and Amen. Amen.

Meadows And Butterflies

Growing up, like many kids, there were tough times every once in a while. Especially when I would have scary dreams, or hear things in the dark – you know, the unknown. Somehow I stumbled on something that always helped. I would take over my imagination and envision a meadow a year from that moment. There would be tall grass, some beautiful wild flowers, and some beautiful butterflies. I would focus on the butterflies in particular, watching them move from flower to flower, dance in the air, and drift with the wind. Sometimes they would be joined by a larger group, but mostly I would be engulfed in the peace of their motion, and fall asleep.

The reason I bring this up now is because sometimes the process of building others up is best done by taking away the distractions that the enemy throws their way. If a person can let go of the poor thoughts and struggles, then they can be free to hear the good, and do that. Listening to the good things of God is a good thing.

John 10:9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.

25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me.
26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.
30 I and my Father are one.

Today, if we can try to focus on the voice of our Messiah Yeshuah, we have a chance to hear Him, and follow Him where He is going as our Shepherd.

Prayer
Father, we 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 us now, yes, send us now Your 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. Deliver us from temptations. Restore the good, Father, we cry to You. Restore the good. Restore one thousandfold all the good and provision and blessings that have been taken or held back in any way, and the more besides. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen and Amen and Amen.

Just One Stone

Today in thinking about how we build one another, pondering that process led me to look at the old fountain in my back yard. It has not run for several years. Some of the decorative blocks have been removed, others have shifted, and weeds and flowers grow from the cracks of others. Life can be like that.

We build every day of our life, whether we are aware of it or not. We are moving in the direction of trying to accomplish our work, our assignment here on earth. And sometimes our efforts to help ourselves and others overtime can fall into disrepair. So what can we do?

1 Corinthians 3:11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
13 Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.
14 If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.

We can lay just one stone for our brothers and sisters, upon the foundation which is our Savior and Messiah, Yeshuah (Jesus).

Prayer
Father, we 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 us now Your 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 the good that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and the more besides. Let the breach be restored. Let the breach be restored. Help us to find our way. Help us help others to be fed, to be housed, to be at peace. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Reach Up!

When we reach out to YAH, we can do it for ourselves alone. And, it is a good thing to do for ourselves. But it is also a good thing to do for others. If we are positive in our speaking to one another, that is a very good thing. But if we pray for others, despite how they treat us, that is also good.

Matthew 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

We can build people up without even being near them. We need only to call out to our Father on their behalf. He loves us. He hears us. He loves the people and He will respond.

Prayer
Father, we 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 us now Your 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 the good that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and the more besides. Yes, Father, the more besides. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.
