Pick Up A Friend

Sometimes we are in the right place at the right time to help someone out. As it turns out, I am writing this a day late. Yesterday, I had a friend making a journey to the same destination as me.His motorcycle died, and it happened in a location where our paths intersected for the rest of the trip. I was able to get there and give hi a ride the rest of the way. It was great, and we got to catch up a bit. We are given opportunities in life to be there when a friend needs us. Scriptures seem to indicate that this is how it is to work.

Galatians 6:1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
2 Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.
4 But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.
5 For every man shall bear his own burden.
6 Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.
7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

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. Give 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. Help us to be spiritual and not carnal. 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.

Deliverance In Faith

We can know our God is with us. If we will trust in Him and wait upon His deliverance, we can have all that we need in place when we need it. God knows when that truly is. He will always come through.

Mark 11:22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

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. 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. Send in quickly the $422,683,962.53 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 of You Father, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Repairing

If you have ever had an old house, you understand the concept of repairing something. LOL. Seriously, building something new is good, but the art of demolition and repairing is also a part of building or creating something new. We see this in our Messiah’s speech and actions.

Mark 11:21And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.
22And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

Here we see Yeshuah describing what it takes to move a mountain. Note that to do so requires repairing our emotional feelings toward another human being. We refer to this as forgiveness. It is an essential part of the process of creating with our words.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our 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. Restore unto Your people prosperity abundantly. Send in quickly the $423,483,962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom of God here in the hearts and minds and bodies of the people here. We ask all these things of You Father, our King, and we ask them in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Praying For All

Maybe the important thing in life is not thinking about ourselves and how we can get what we need and want. Maybe the important thing is remembering to pray and help others get what they need and want. It is a delicate balance, of course, but we find some people of significance in scripture spending time doing just that.

Daniel 9:3 And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes:
4 And I prayed unto the Lord my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments;
5 We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments:
6 Neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, which spake in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
7 O Lord, righteousness belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion of faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, through all the countries whither thou hast driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against thee.
8 O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee.
9To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him;
10 Neither have we obeyed the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets.
11 Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against him.
12 And he hath confirmed his words, which he spake against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil: for under the whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon Jerusalem.
13 As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet made we not our prayer before the Lord our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth.
14 Therefore hath the Lord watched upon the evil, and brought it upon us: for the Lord our God is righteous in all his works which he doeth: for we obeyed not his voice.
15 And now, O Lord our God, that hast brought thy people forth out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and hast gotten thee renown, as at this day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly.
16 O Lord, according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee, let thine anger and thy fury be turned away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain: because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people are become a reproach to all that are about us.
17 Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of thy servant, and his supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord’s sake.
18 O my God, incline thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousnesses, but for thy great mercies.
19 O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; defer not, for thine own sake, O my God: for thy city and thy people are called by thy name.
20 And whiles I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the Lord my God for the holy mountain of my God;

We see that Daniel realized that only God has the answers. He realized that God wants to communicate with people with humble and contrite hearts. In the last verse listed here we see he was confessing his own sin and the sin of the people of his nation, Israel. This is the God we serve. He watches for those with hearts turned toward Him, and He responds.

Today, let’s take time to pray for ourselves and others.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here. Let Your will be done here on earth as it is in heaven. Send us now Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all for give those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Deliver us from the evil here. Restore Your people, Father. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all the prosperity that has been taken or held back in any way, and let us be lenders and not borrowers, Father. Rise up, my King. Rise up, and take pleasure in lifting up Your people that love You. Send in quickly the $423,483,962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom of YAH here in the hearts and minds and bodies of the people. We ask all these things of You Father, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen. Amen and Amen.

Make People Stronger

Have you ever had the experience of someone somewhere saying something positive to you about you, and you walked away just feeling better? In that moment, that person made you stronger, right? And likely you have had the opposite experience. So we can also be the person talking. Let’s do something today to make others feel stronger by saying something that builds them up.

Ephesians 5:19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

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 overwhelming 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 years and the prosperity that has been taken or held back in any way, or eaten, and that one thousandfold. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah. Send in quickly the the $423,483,962.53 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.

Changing Ways

It is so good that our Father in heaven allows us to change our ways when we are going in a wrong way. He is always willing that we return to Him. And He is very much in favor of us reaching out to those around us to help them also return to Him when needed. And all of this is because God is good.

Isaiah 55:6 Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
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.

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 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.

Sharpening The Steel

We need each other. It is that simple really.

Proverbs 27:17 Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.

Today, let’s help each other be the best image of God that we can be.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your will be done and Your kingdom com 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. Let us not move away from Your path. Restore Your people. 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, the more besides. Send in quickly the $423,483, 962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom of YAH here in this earth. We ask all these things of You Father, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Adding To Others

This morning as I am thinking about faith and what it means, it leads me in interesting directions. We are meant to know that YAH is on our side, has our back, and is delivering us. That is true faith, I believe. And we know we are to help build others up.

1 Thessalonians 5:11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

The challenge is in trying to understand how to pass on faith to others. It seems to be something that only an individual can experience. It is the transition from doubting, or unbelief, or believing something else to believing YAH. It seems like the only way to do that is to demonstrate it to others and let them see what YAH is doing in our lives. Then walk them through it maybe with explanation.

Prayer
Father we exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your Kingdom come and 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. Wipe away all thoughts and memories of the evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You. Restore, restore. Restore Your people and their families. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all the good that has been taken or held back in any way, and the more besides. Father, let not Your children go hungry, or thirsty, or without a place to lay their head. Rise up and strike the enemy that withholds the property and prosperity that You have given to Your children. Send in quickly the $423,483,962.53 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 of You Father, in the name YAH Yeshuah Hamashiach. Amen and Amen.

Jump In

Today I am reminded of the importance of jumping in to help one another whenever possible. We are in a time when we have so many in need. Yes, we do want to pray for other. And we also want to be the hands and the feet of the Messiah. Perhaps Paul said it best.

Galatians 6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

Prayer
Father we exalt You. You are King and worthy to be praised. Let Your kingdom come and let Your will be done here as it is in heaven. Send us Your provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions. Deliver us from the evil, without temptation. 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, the more besides. We ask all these things of You Father, in the name YAH Yeshuah Hamoshiach. Amen.

Good Days

We each address our own lives. It is important to build one another up. We do that with the steps we take along the way. We succeed or fail together in many situations, so it only makes sense to work together. We build one another up often in the use of songs.

Ephesians 5:19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

Let this day be a day of building others up.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come and Your will be done here as it is in heaven. Send us now Your overwhelming provision that our needs be filled, and our families filled, and we 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 thousandfold all the good that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and the more besides. Send in quickly the $423,483,962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom of God. We ask all these things of You Father, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMoshiach. Amen and Amen.
