Stand Up, Stand Tall

We need to find a way to remind ourselves to stand up when we are downtrodden. Maybe we cannot fight that one more thing, but we can stand. YAH will fight for us, and has already dictated the outcome.

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.

We will win because we already have won.

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 one thousandfold all the good that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people. We ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen and Amen and Amen.

Groggy In Battle

This writing is actually taking place the day after the listing. Yesterday was the third day in a row I was under the weather. I just rested, and yet I spoke with people all over the country and offered my encouragement to them. It was not until this morning that I realized I missed writing yesterday. But just getting through one more day is winning a battle. We know this because our enemy has one goal.

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.

Let’s stay in it to win 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 overwhelming provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Let us not go after temptation. Deliver us from the evil here. Restore unto Your people prosperity and substance. You are the King. Only You can do these things. We ask all these things of You Father, King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen and Amen.

Showing Up

Some of us have had many opportunities in life to consider our situation impossible. However, at the same time, we have the chance to change our situation if we will just show up. We change it by Speaking, hearing, and acting on the truth according to our Father. Here is a truth that is good to remember.

Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.
5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.
6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Today, if we can just ask God for what we need, then speak it out, and finally act on it, we have a chance. God does the rest.

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 provision. Forgive 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. Let the substance and prosperity flow again here. Restore all that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and that one thousandfold. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen and Amen. Amen.

Fog The Mirror

The enemy of our souls tries to overcome us with creatures that like to bight and gnaw at us – we call them humans. Really, I do not know if these people are aware of what they are doing or not. But our job as believers is to stand for the truth and to pray for them that they might find their way to the truth as well. Might well be one of our most important jobs, praying for others. But here is the thing, if we are still fogging the mirror, then we are still winning. The outcome was decided from before we were born.

Jeremiah 1:4 Then the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

God has got THIS!

Just stand, and fog that mirror!

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 as it is in the heavens. 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. Rise up O King, deliver us from the evil, and the evil men. Keep us from temptations. Rise up today and prosper Your people. So much substance has been taken and we ask that You restore it one thousandfold. We ask all these things of You Father in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen and Amen.

Reminding The Mind

The mind is a powerful tool. It can be used to help us do amazing things. And it can be used to keep us from doing much at all. So what is the difference? Reminding.

Our mind develops patterns of “firing” of the neurons. They can be both simple and intricate. When they fire, at the point of the electrical or electro-chemical release, a bump will be formed over time. That physical bump is not only a memory, but it helps that same firing to happen again. It is these bumps and the firing patterns of the brain that make up what we call the mind. If we are using it powerfully for the good, we can continue to do so. If we want to move away from the negatives that hold us back, we have to get a do-over of the brain. We have to rebuild it anew. We have to remind our brain.

Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

And there is a way to which all have access to remind our brain. Moses said it first, and Paul quoted him.

Romans 10:6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)
7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)
8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Said another way, at the center of our being we know how things ought to be, and with our mouth we say the same thing about it as God has said, thereby bringing us to a place of safety, deliverance, and and freedom from enemy devouring of us.

So today, we can remake our mind with what we say. In fact, we already are. When we speak our heart, we create that imagined possibility in our minds, and we then “observe” it into existence in our lives. We can use this process to win spiritual battles.

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 provisions. 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 promised and sent prosperity 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 King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

First Steps

Not every battle is filled with glory. But all battles, and everything else we will ever do in life, begins with a first step. If there is something you want to do in life but it seems too big, take a first step. It is true in walking as YAH walks, on the path that He has made. Pray for His help and guidance, and You can make it.

Psalms 119 VAU.
41 Let thy mercies come also unto me, O Lord, even thy salvation, according to thy word.
42 So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word.
43 And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments.
44 So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever.
45 And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts.
46 I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed.
47 And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved.
48 My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes.

Take a first step.

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. Lead us away from temptation. 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. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

When It Is Time

Everything in life has a form of timing to it. We know, foe example, that the sun and moon were set in place in part to watch over important dates and times.

Genesis 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

There are more examples in scripture for times as well. Here is the point.

There comes a time in every person’s life when we have to make a choice to try to stand up for what we believe in – our Father and our Messiah. That, my friends, that stand, is spiritual warfare.

Stand.

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 me, the joy of my salvation, and renew Your Spirit in us all. Restore Your prosperity to this household today. We ask all these things in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Standing Counts

When we stand for what the scriptures say, we do not stand alone. Hopefully those around us stand with us – our fellow believers and our families. But at the end of the day, everyone faces challenges in sorting through what goes on around them and others. Even if those around us end up stepping away when we stand, we still do not stand alone. Our Father is always standing with us.

Psalms 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
11 The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

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 King in the name Yah Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Believing As A Weapon

Belief is a powerful thing. We see the world around us the way that we believe that it is. Our thoughts and understandings help to direct our paths. If we believe strong enough, we find a way to revive that power of change. This is what Yeshuah spoke about.

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.
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.

A forgiven person is a cleansed and righteous person in God’s eyes. God will always uphold His righteousness. Always.

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 provision. Forgive us, forgive us, forgive us, Father, for our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to be like You and forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Deliver us from the evil here. Show us a sign for good, that all men might know that You alone are King in the name YAH Yeshuah Hamashiach. Amen.

Fighting For Clarity

There is a view that many of us either have now or may have had in the past or may have been exposed to at some point. That view is that only the perfect get their prayers heard, only the perfect can do spiritual battle, or only the perfect somehow have a “right” to expect good in life, answers to prayer, etc. If this was true, no man would stand, ever get anything good from God, have their prayers answered, etc. The truth is, we must fight on, even knowing that we are deficient in some ways. This is the inner struggle that we have to face, even while in the battle. It is what those that have gone on before us have done, according to scripture.

James 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.
18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.

Imagine the struggle Elijah faced, knowing his own shortcomings, yet being obedient to stop and start the rain.

May we all be encouraged to follow in his example.

Prayer

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 in the name above all names. We ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen
