Make This Day

We reach for the future each time we let our feet hit the floor in the morning. The future is what we make it, to some degree. Yes, God is in control. However, He has put a certain structure and order to how things transpire. We are here to work out life according to the structure of the creation.

Proverbs 16:17 The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.
18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
19 Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.
20 He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy is he.
21 The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.
22 Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools is folly.
23 The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips.

Today let us build with wisdom. If we do, we have life!

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King! Praise the name Yahuah! Let us be Your servants to bring Your will to this earth. Send us now Your overwhelming provision such that we cannot contain it. Forgive us our sins. Heal up our brokenness. Deliver us from the one that steals and destroys. Restore unto Your people one hundred times one hundredfold all that has been taken or held back, and even more beyond this. Show us a sign for good that all men might know that you alone, Yahuah, have done this. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Wall Repair

We build our faith from each event in our life. We progress over time to where we can believe what would seem impossible to others.

Romans 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

We see here that faith has a progression, an element of building to it. I like to think of it as a brick or stone wall. But just as these walls need repair at times, so also it is true with the faith we have built. We may allow something to damage or harm our faith. We have to repair that place, that chink in the wall. We do that through repentance, prayer, and meditating on the scriptures. In this way we rebuild that which needs repair. We can do this for ourselves and we can assist others in their doing it for themselves.

Isaiah 58:11 And the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
12 And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.

Let us begin today by being those people that repair the breach. Let us be rebuilders.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King! Praise and bless the name Yahuah! Use us to promote Your kingdom in the earth. Send us now Your overwhelming abundant provision such that we do not have the room to hold it all. Forgive us our sins. Heal us up on the inside in our hearts and minds. Deliver us from the one that steals and destroys. Restore unto us one hundred times one hundredfold all that has been taken or held back. Come now and deliver Your people as in the Exodus giving to us the substance of those that have been our oppressors. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Allowing For Set

When we lay a foundation, build a brick wall, or try to add to what we know and believe, we have to allow for “Set.” Concrete has to reach a certain level of harness before we can apply weight to it. The mortar in a brick wall has to dry and set enough after a few layers of brick before we can add more layers. The same is true in our lives. We have to build up and make firm that which we have learned. It has to set within us, and be tested, to make certain it can endure the full weight of life. This is the way of things, the process by which our Father builds us up.

1 Peter 1:6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

Yahuah (Lord) uses these trials to purify and refine our faith. We can count on Him to see us through.

Prayer
Father, we exalt. You are King! Bless the name Yahuah! Let Your will be done here through us. Send us now Your overwhelming provision, greater than we can imagine or contain. Forgive us our sins. Heal us up in our hearts and minds. Deliver us from our enemies. Restore unto Your people that which has been taken or held back one hundred times one hundredfold. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Power Building

If we are a part of restoring all things, of bringing back our Messiah, then we bust build strong and fast.I am not saying that we have the power, within ourselves, to make Yeshuah (Jesus) return. And for sure, if certain things need to occur that we do not do our part to make happen, that will not stop Him. We already have been told by our Messiah that He would make creation cry out.

Luke 19:35 And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.
36 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.
37 And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;
38 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.

So we see that treating our Messiah like the Messiah, calling Him King, calling for peace and declaring His glory – all these things are truly “normal” for us. They are things we should do. They build the kingdom here on the earth by exalting our Father’s covenant. Our words and our actions need to declare our Father to be true. When we do that consistently, then we become power builders. Then we are doing what is necessary to usher in the kingdom and the return of the King!

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name Yahuah! Bless the name Yahuah! Let Your kingdom spring up in the earth after the same manner as it is in the heavens. Let us be the lights here on earth that declare Your glory, just as You made the lights in the heavens to declare Your glory. Send us today Your overwhelming provision such that we would not have room to contain it. Forgive us our sins. Heal us, Father. Heal up our hearts and our minds, washing us clean. Deliver us from the the thief that kills and destroys and steals. restore unto Your people one hundred times one hundredfold that which has been taken or held back. Rise up, O mighty King! Rise up today and deliver Your people today. We ask all these things in the name ouf our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Hand To Hand

As believers, we are given a charge. That charge is to love God with our everything, and love our neighbors as ourselves.

Mark 12:29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

As I thought about this image in my mind, I could see a group of people standing hand to hand, in a long line moving forward. When someone stopped, they all stopped to wait or help. It seems to me that our Father longs for us to be like this, honoring Him first, then helping each other. If we can learn to live like this, we can be free, changing our world.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King! Praise the name Yahuah! Use us Father to advance Your kingdom here on the earth. Send us today Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins. Heal our insides. Deliver us from the thief that kills and destroys. Restore unto Your people one hundred times one hundredfold. You, O King, strike down the enemy when You arise from Your throne to execute justice on behalf of the poor and the needy. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Pulling Up

Our efforts for the kingdom in our lives are much like a game of tug-of-war that we played as children. When we think of the game the goal is to pull the other team on to your side of the line. Our enemy is constantly trying to do that to us as well as those around us. Our Father is constantly trying to pull us to His side. It seems as humans we live in the middle at the knot, sometimes on one side and sometimes on the other.

Romans 7:19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

So, in the end, we must constantly pray to overcome the evil in our members. We need to on our Father’s side, pulling up to the kingdom, building a better life day by day.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are our King. We praise the name Yahuah. Let us pull up and build Your kingdom here. Send us Your overwhelming provision. Heal us from the inside. Deliver us from the thief. Restore unto Your people, Father, one hundred times one hundredfold. We ask these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Reaching Out

There are times when we reach out to those around us in need. This reaching out does not always come from our great abundance. Sometimes we must reach out when we do not have what we need even for ourselves. I do not suggest this is true at all times. I do suggest that there will be sometimes when this is true. There is a well known bible passage that talks about this very point.

Luke 21:1 And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury.
2 And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.
3 And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all:
4 For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.

We are called to give up our lives for our Father. He then takes that gift and in turn gives us everything we need. It can be a challenge waiting for those things to appear, but we must remain positive and faithful to Him, knowing He is faithful to do all He said. This includes reaching out when we know we should and do not have the means.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name Yahuah! Help us to usher in Your kingdom here on this earth. Send us Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins. Heal us up from the inside. Deliver us from the thief that steals and destroys. Restore unto Your people one hundred times one hundredfold all that has been taken or held back. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Can You See The Building?

When a contractor sets out to build a building, s/he has a set of plans they are working from that gives them a good idea of what the finished product looks like. They even may have an architects rendering of the building with the landscaping in place, even people coming and going as if it were already in place and in use. How do they do that? They have a clear vision of what they are trying to accomplish. With this in mind, as things come up that present challenges, they know how to adjust. They know what the finished product is supposed to look like. They begin with the end in mind.

Isaiah 46:9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,
10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

We must remember that our Father has declared the end from the beginning. We must be like Him and understand what we are building in our walk. We must try to pattern ourselves after Him. He will bring to pass that which He has promised. He never fails.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Bless the name Yahuah! Let Your kingdom come to earth through us, and through Your will. Send us today Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins. Heal us from the inside out. Deliver us from the thief and those that represent him that steal and destroy. Restore unto Your people one hundred times one hundredfold all that has been taken or held back. Come, Yahuah, in the power of Your might and release Your people and their blessings from the thief this day. We ask these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Boiling The Frog

In the United States we have for many years held to the idea that we willbe a nation where each individual is free. This is a good cause and a good belief. For it to exist in reality, it must be built upon Godly principles and following the ways of our Father Yahuah (Lord). And yet, instead we have become enslaved willingly. In fact, we are so enslaved and so entrenched in the chains that bind us that we will almost fight to stay there. To what am I referring?

Matthew 6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

I refer to the system of debt that has been built to hold us. It steals from us every day some of the very blessings added to us by our Father. How can we know that this is not good? The scriptures seem to indicate this well.

Deuteronomy 28:12 The Lord shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.

If we are trapped in the system, then we are not building what our Father has said we will build. It will take the commitment of our hearts to the truth He has provided for us to escape. Once we are free, and while we are on the journey to that freedom, We must reach out to others to help them be free.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name Yahuah! Let Your kingdom reign. Send us Your overwhelming abundant provision today. Forgive us our sins. Heal our hearts and minds. Deliver us from the thief that kills and destroys. Restore unto Your people one hundred times one hundredfold all that has been taken or held back. We ask these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Keep Laying Stone

Yesterday had a certain number of challenges for me. We had issues arise with our number one vehicle that we were not really planning to have happen. Suddenly, I was stranded in the middle of rush our traffic. But our Father sent two police officers and some others to help. The next thing I know, I am safely to the side of the road. As a result of the instance, I was able to reach our to two people. This is an example of how we must continue to face what comes our way with the mission in mind of serving our Father.

1 Thessalonians 5:16 Rejoice evermore.
17 Pray without ceasing.
18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
19 Quench not the Spirit.
20 Despise not prophesyings.
21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.

Today, let us remember to do the work of our Father in the face of all trials.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Let us experience Your will here just as it is in the heavens. Send us today your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins. Heal up our hearts and minds. Deliver us from the thief that kills and destroys. Restore unto Your people one hundred times one hundredfold. Help Your people suddenly obtain wealth to promote Your kingdom. We ask all of these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
