Moving, But Moving Forward

Twice in the last three nights, I have had dreams about flying. In general, when I have these dreams, they are about something spiritual. These were no different for me. And they were lucid dreams. I was not always completely asleep, but I was able to interact with them. Generally, they were a reminder for me and others that our Father is not only on our side, He wants us to be encouraged that we have been given power in this life, and we should use. We should especially use it to encourage others and pray of others (and ourselves of course).

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;

Here Paul is saying that we are to use the rhema (word) of God as the sword of the Spirit in reference to praying in the Spirit for the saints. For Paul this was praying in tongues. This rhema is what Yeshuah used to cleanse us from unrighteousness.

Ephesians 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

Today, let’s move forward and pray for one another in the Spirit.

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. Deliver us from financial restrictions today, Father. We ask all these things of You Father, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Strong Assistance

We are told in scripture that it is a good thing to edify one another.

1 Thessalonians 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

One of the greatest challenges we may face as believes trying to walk out this charge comes when we see someone struggling with a particular area of their walk, and they cannot see it.

We must be strong enough in our faith to take action. We must be strong enough to be gentle and loving in the words we choose. We must have a strong enough relationship with that person to be able to speak into their life. We must be strong enough in our own relationship with the Father that we trust Him to be with us when we speak, and that He will also show to us where we need to change. All of these are a form of strong assistance. In the end, YAH is always calling for His people to turn to Him.

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.

Let’s all be strong for each other today.

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 reputation. Help us see where we need more of You, and to be more like You. Send Your deliverance, and lift us on high. Do this that all men might know that You alone are King. Restore today Father. We need You. We ask all these things in the nameYAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

When No One Is Around

We have been given a charge. That assignment is to do and say things that build each other up.1 Thessalonians 5:8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
12 And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;
13 And to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. And be at peace among yourselves.
We see that there is a certain determined path for us to take with regard to how we are to move forward as a group. THere are even soecifics as to how to do this.

Colossians 3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
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.

The good news is, we can do this when we are alone! Yes, we want to take the time to encourage people when we are with them. But we also want to encourage them when we are by ourselves. For many of us, we have more time with no one around than with people around.

Today, let’s pray for ourselves and others when no one is around, singing in our hearts with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs focused on helping each person become better at serving YAH and that their circumstances improve.

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. Raise up, raise up. Raise up, the widow and the orphan. Make a way for the poor and downtrodden, a way where there is no way. Send us quickly the restoration of property and finances that we might proclaim that You alone have done these things. Show us a sign for good. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Holding One Another Up

Often this phrase is used in religious circles. It is assumed we all know what it means. Today, I think I want to apply some specifics. It means to be there when the water leak hits, or the dog dies, or the car won’t start. But it also means secretly, at a distance, when someone is in need of walking out challenges to their faith. We need to lift each other up, especially in prayer.

1 Thessalonians 5:8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

Let’s pray for one another today.

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 the prosperity and goods and relationships that have been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and the more besides. We ask all these things of You, Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Fathers Forgive

Over the years I have heard many people speak from pulpits in churches and living rooms about sin. Often I have heard it said that if we sin there is willingly there is no forgiveness. This is obsurd, really. What Father would not forgive their child one more time, if they asked with a contrite heart? And I have heard people say that we must forgive, but then use the excuse of praying for someone to gossip. Sad, really.

The truth is, our Father loves us. Always has. Always will. Period. He just wants us to return when we stray.

Luke 15:4 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?
5 And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
6 And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.
7 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
8 Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it?
9 And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.
10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.

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 fall into temptation. Raise us up, and we shall sing of Your mighty works! Let us restore Your kingdom in the hearts and minds and bodies of Your people. Restore unto Your people the gold, silver and precious stones that have been taken or held back in any way, and the more besides. We ask all these things of You Father, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen and Amen.

Welcomed Sight

There is much that can be done when we are inspired to act. Certain images do that for me. They inspire me to act. If we want to be continually inspired, we must find a way to live in that inspirational moment of vision.

2 Chronicles 16:9 For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars.

God is moved by what He sees when He sees those that stand up for righteousness. We are like Him in that regard.

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. We ask all these things of You Father, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen and Amen and Amen.

Where Does Instruction Come From?

Recently a situation came up in a Sabbath service about instructions to husbands and wives. This is of course a worthy topic. Interestingly enough it was presented as a rehash of a book that names the names of other Gods. This ought not be. We have an instructor who is most willing to instruct.

James 1:5If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

Therefore we see we can receive wisdom from our Father directly. Wisdom and understanding travel together.

Proverbs 8:1 Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?
2 She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.
3 She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors.
4 Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man.
5 O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.
6 Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things.
7 For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them.
9 They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge.
10 Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.
11 For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
12 I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.

With wisdom comes the knowledge, understanding, and all good things of the Father.

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 i n heaven. Send us now Your provision that 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. Deliver us from the evil here. REstore unto Your people one thousnadfold all the good that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and the more besides, the more besides. We ask all these things of You Father King, asking in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Working Together

What can we do by ourselves? A great deal. But what can we do together? It is exponential, especially if we are all traveling in the same direction. There is a simple way to understand this. As an individual, we focus in four to six directions to sustain our life. But when we team up with others, if we are all focused on the same goal, we end up with not all having to watch five of the six directions. We by design then are capable of focusing more effort in the one shared direction. Very powerful.

Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

Let us work together to bring the kingdom to the hearts and minds and bodies of those around 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, 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 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. We ask all these things of You Father, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Work Together

This seems to be the directive we have been given by God. We are to be a part of each other’s lives. We are to work to assist each other in a way that is honoring to God and to each other.

Ecclesiastes 4:12 And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

Let’s build each other up that we all might serve the living God.

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 all that has been taken or held back in any way of that which is good, and the more besides. We ask all these things of You Father, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Everyone Needs Everyone

From a scientific point of view, we are all intertwined. Each of us impacts the other. Therefore if you encourage someone else, you encourage yourself. If you encourage yourself, you encourage others. We need to be the people that are helping because we know what our Father is about – transforming the world back to what it once was.

Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;
20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:
21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.

Ultimately it is a big goal. But we can be a part of it by building up those around 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 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. Send in quickly the $422,723,962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom of God here in the hearts and minds and bodies of the people. We ask all these things in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMaShiach, asking them of You, Father our King. Amen.
