New Building Requires New Material

Perhaps you have heard the phrase, “If you do what you always did, you will get what you always got.” This is not a phrase that is specifically targeted at our spiritual well being, but it does apply. If we focus on our past, we will recreate our past.

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

So to build a future that is not like the past, we will need to be willing to discover new building materials. When we do, we can begin to enjoy a future different from our past. God will finish the work and we need to do what we can to work with Him.

Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. And we praise the name YAH, praise the name YAH. Let Your kingdom come here in the hearts and minds and bodies of the people. And let Your will be done here, as it is in heaven so perfectly, so perfectly. Send us now Your delivering provision that we might stand up from the ashes, and help those around us stand. 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 buy us. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You. Deliver us from the evil that would cling to us. Let us not be tempted. Restore Your people unto You, and 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 God in the hearts and the minds and the bodies of the people here. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah. We ask all these things of You, Father, Elohim and King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMoshiach. Amen and Amen and Amen.

Working Things Through

It takes being willing to acknowledge others and work on relationships to make our way through our walk with YAH. When we make these commitments, we have a chance to live them out. We will live them out, sometimes well, sometimes not so much. But we will make our way through.

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.

We need each other, and we need to edify one another.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here 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. 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 Hamoshiach. Amen and Amen and Amen.

Helping The Return

Perhaps the first thought one has at this title is the return of our Messiah. While that is a noteworthy topic, that is not the topic here. Here the reference is to helping our fellow believers get back on track with YAH (Lord). We all need to return.

Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

We all need to correct our path and return to our Father. If we do, He will turn to us.

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.

So, if we love one another, we will do what we can to help each other make those course corrections.

John 15:7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.
11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. 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 the people, bringing Your will to earth. Send us Your provision, O YAH, and renew a right spirit within us. 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, Father, of the evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You, YAH. Restore Your people unto You Father. Restore unto Your people all that the worm has eaten. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all 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. Send in quickly the $423,483,962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom here in this earth, O YAH. We ask all these things of You, Father, our King. We ask these things of You in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMoshiach. Amen.

Drifting

We move around in life. We are mobile creatures. Creatures that do not move with intent often still move. They drift. Where they go, when, and at what pace are all decided by something or someone else. But we are meant to be creatures of intent that are intent on helping each other.

1 Thessalonians 3:12 And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you:
13 To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.

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. 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 Your people. 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. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah. We ask all these things of You, Father, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMoshiach. Amen, Amen, and Amen.

Helping One Another On The Path

Trying to keep this one simple. Here is a great scripture for building one another 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;
21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

Prayer
Father we exalt You, and try to do it all day. WE love You Father, for You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your will be done here as it is in heaven, with Your kingdom in the hearts and minds and bodies of the people. Send us Your provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Forgive us Father. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and the more besides. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah, Yeshuah HaMoshiach, and we ask them of You, Father, knowing that You hear us. Amen.

Building Another

This morning in thinking about edifying people, certain scriptures came to mind.

Colossians 3:14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
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.

If we are to build others (and ourselves) up, it is with the adding to the understanding about who our Messiah is or how our life is to be in Him. We need to learn all we can about Him and being like Him.

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.

So formal songs, praise songs, and songs in the Spirit all serve to tach about our Father and our Messiah.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here in this earth and just as Your will permeates heaven, so let Your kingdom be in men. 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 evil that we might no longer be tempted. 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 and Your love for us. Restore Your people unto You and restore all that the worm has eaten. Restore one thousandfold all the good that the enemy has take or held bak in any way, and the more besides. Restore, yes restore. Send in quickly the $423,483,962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom here in this earth. We ask all these things of You Father, we ask all these things of You Father, in the name of YAH Yeshuah HaMoshiach. Amen and Amen. Amen.

Positive Energy?

Have you ever wondered about the talk about the idea of positive and negative energy, and just wondered if it was real? My first response to that would be how we feel when we experience people in certain ways. We can feel good or we can feel bad or we can feel nothing. Think about the extreme cases. When we feel overjoyed, or crushed, that has to be something, right? The items in between are different, but the changes are noticeable, from one state to the next. The inputs come in some form of energy – sound, light, etc. If it resonates with us and our goals, it is positive. If not, it is negative. This concept is not new as we can find it in scripture.

Ecclesiastes 4:9 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.
10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.
11 Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?
12 And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

If we want that positive energy, an easy way to get that is to join with someone and be that for someone else.

Help someone today, and be positive.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King! You alone are King! Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here in the hearts and minds and bodies of the people, bringing Your perfect will to earth. 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. 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 Father, and Your love for us. Deliver us from the evil here. Restore unto Your people all that the worm has eaten. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold of all the good that has been taken or held back in any way, and the more besides. Send in quickly the $423,483,962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom of God in the hearts and minds and bodies of the people. Let us help the widows and the orphans and the poor. We ask all these things of You, Father, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMoshiach. Amen and Amen.

Building Today

Recently I heard some great wisdom from a speaker. Start today. This is such great wisdom for sure. Each day we have the opportunity to do good. Each day can be a new start.

Lamentations 3:21 This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.
22 It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.

We see that when the morning comes as promised, and cannot fail, Yahuah’s mercies are new for that day. In part I think this is because it is a part of the message, the good news, the gospel of God, that has always been true.

Hosea 6:6 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.

God has always been teaching us matters of the heart. Be merciful and learn more about Him so we can be more like Him. Everyday.
Let’s ask ourselves, what can we do if we will start fresh today?

Prayer
Father we exalt You. You alone are King! You alone are King! Praise the name YAH! Father, we praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here in the hearts and minds and bodies of the people. Let Your will be done here as it is so perfectly in heaven. Send us now, O Father, send us now, O King, Your plentiful 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. Wipe away the thoughts and memories of the evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You Father. Deliver us from the evil here. Deliver us from the wicked one. Restore Your people unto You, Father. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all that has been taken or held back of that which is good, and the more besides. Restore what the worm has eaten. Send in quickly the $423523,962.53 Father, that we might use it to promote Your kingdom here, the kingdom of God in the hearts and minds and bodies of the people. We ask all these things of You, Father. We ask all these things of You in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMoshiach. Amen, Amen, and Amen. Amen.

When We Can

Yesterday I had some great conversations with people about the date. The question stemmed from the celebration of New Year’s Eve/Day. The question was, is it? For many of you that may seem like a strange conversation, and you may think it crazy, but hold on. It comes from a discussion about calendars, specifically the one in the bible versus the one we use today. To better understand, let’s look at the scripture.

Deuteronomy 16:1 Observe the month of Abib, and keep the passover unto the Lord thy God: for in the month of Abib the Lord thy God brought thee forth out of Egypt by night.

We see that there may be a month called Abib. It would seem important to know when this was, based on this scripture. A closer reading of the scripture reveals another way to understand it from the Hebrew. “Observe the month of Abib” can also be translated “Guard the new moon of the spring” or simply “Guard the spring”. That could take us to a whole different conversation which we will leave for now. There are months given.

Esther 3:7 In the first month, that is, the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, to the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar.

The point being made is why is there a difference? What does it mean that a difference exists? Since we all are responsible to our Father to try to learn and know these things, it is good to pursue them. In the mean time, we celebrate Him when we can, and as clearly as we can, according to what we know from scriptures. If we can do this collectively, we will build one another up in the faith in our Father.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Praise the name YAH! 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. Deliver us from such evils. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You and Your amazing, amazing love for us. Restore Your people unto You as it was in the garden. Restore unto Your people all that the worm has eaten. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold of all the good that has been taken or held back in any way, and the more besides. Send in quickly the $423,523,962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom of God here in the hearts and minds and bodies of the people, YAH. Help us feed and clothe the poor, the widow, and the fatherless. Rise up my King! Rise up my King! Show us a sign for good, that all men might know that You alone, YAH, You alone have done this. We ask all these things of You, Father, in the mighty name YAH Yeshuah HaMoshiach. Amen and amen. Amen.

What Are We Building?

Recently a friend of mine changed his mind and decided to go along with the crowd on certain things. Going along with the crowd is certainly easier than not. And on the surface, it does not seem like a negative thing to the vast majority of people. The real question is, what do we end up building? If there is a truth, and we build on something that is not true, what happens?

Matthew 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

We build well when we build by doing the will of the Father. That is plainly revealed in scriptures. All else is sand that washes away.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here in the hearts and minds and bodies of the people. Let Your will be done here as it is so perfectly in heaven. Send us now Your provision, that we 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. Wipe away all thoughts and memories of the evil done to us or by us. Deliver us from that evil here. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You and Your love for us. Restore us, Father YAH. Restore all that the worm has eaten. Restore right relationship to You. Restore one thousandfold all that the enemy has taken or held back in any way from Your people of that which is good, and the more besides. Send in quickly the $423,503,962.53 that we might use it to promote Your kingdom here in the hearts and minds and bodies of Your people. We ask all these things of You, Father Yahuah, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMoshiak. Amen.
