Keep Swinging

As long as we keep swinging, we are still in the fight. It may seem overwhelming, but in so may cases people stop because their mind stops them. We CAN control that if we just remember we already know the end from the beginning. WE WIN! GOD IS ON OUR SIDE! [cheers from the crowd].

Isaiah 55:7 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.

God has our back. He already set the ending!

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH. Let Your will be done, and Your kingdom come, that it might be here like it is in heaven. Send us now Your provision. Deliver us from the evil here. Forigive 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 unto Your people 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.

Fighting In The Midst

When we are in the middle of struggles, it is important to continue to fight the good fight. This is our example.

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.

We get to make a difference. We just have to believe and turn to God, and 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.

Let’s stay in the spiritual warfare battle.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come, let Your will be done 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 this evil. 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 Your kingdom in the hearts and minds and bodies of Your people. We ask all these things of You Father, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMoshiach. Amen and Amen and Amen.

For Family

When we are in the battle, sometimes it is good to remember at least one or more reasons. For me, one is family. My children are one on the reasons I fight. That said, here is a good scripture to remember.

Joshua 1:5 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
6 Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.
7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.

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.

Battles At All Times

When we battle we it can be at any time thoughout the day. These battles are spiritual.

2 Corinthians 4:3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)

We can therefore find ourselves in the thick of it without notice. One solution is to pray often.

Psalms 55:16 As for me, I will call upon God; and the Lord shall save me.
17 Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.

Prayer can be, and often is, warfare.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here. Let Your will be done here, as it is in heaven. Send us Your provision. FOrgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and remov e them far from 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 of our Messiah YAH Yeshuah HaMoshiach, asking them of You, Father. Amen.

Always Battle

We can face times of overwhelming odds that prevent us from what we may think is our main mission. Even when it seems like we are overrun, we can still maintain the immediate space around us. This we must do.

Ephesians 6:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
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;

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come and YOur will be done here as in heaven. Send us Your provision. Deliver us from evil. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Restore unto Your people one thousanfold 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. Amen.

Aligning Life

Just thinking about the title now and realize there can be a double meaning. If we are in a spiritual battle, and we are, then likely there are actions to take to “fight” and an enemy to fight against.

Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

So we have certain challenges that will come our way. Our goal is to align with the plans and works of our Father. That seems both good and obvious. But there is that second meaning. When we align our life, we shine out a light for our Father and His ways.

Matthew 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Let’s align!

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 the people, brining Your will 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. Wipe away all thoughts and memories of the evil done to us or by us. In their place let there b e only thoughts and memories of You and Your love. Restore Your people. Restore unto Your people all that the worm has eaten. Restore one thousandfold all the good that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people Father. Send in quickly the $423,483,962.53 that we might use it to promote the the kingdom of God in mankind. We ask all these things of You, Father, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMoshiach. Amen and Amen.

Head On

To win a battle, we must face the battle head on. That can be a challenge for us for sure as many if not most of us have never been to war. We are trained through movies and TV that even the most deadly of battles is 2D and only audio/visual. Although I only have as a point of reference what I have been told by friends, there is far more to it than that. I have known situations in which people were badly injured in just routine life. In battle there are many sounds, like the clicking of bayonets by the enemy, the screams of friends and enemies wounded, and at times even tears. But there is also the smell of death…

2 Corinthians 2:14 Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. 15 For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing. 16 To the one we are the aroma of death leading to death, and to the other the aroma of life leading to life.

We are called to speak out to the world the good news that God is on our side, and that He sent our Messiah to seal the deal!

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 the people, let Your will be done just as it is in heaven. Send us Your provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions. 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, and the more besides. Send in quickly the $423,483,962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom of God here. We ask all these things of You Father, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMoshiach. Amen.

When It Gets Tough

There is something that comes over us when we get face to face with real challenges in life. Likely it will have emotions tied to is. The result can be fear, faith, determination, tears, cussing, shouting, singing, etc. That something that comes over us is none of these things. That something is the power to choose. That was a very expensive gift that was purchased for us.

John 16:3 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.
4 But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.
5 But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?
6 But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;
10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

23 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.
24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

There is a moment when we get to decide to empower those emotions by choosing the correct ones and empowering them with our words and our prayers. The assumptions are we are keeping the commandments of Yeshuah (Jesus) because we love Him, that Yeshuah only said what the Father said, and that we are therefore we are keeping the commands of the Father and it will be in that framework that we will ask, and then receive.

Prayer
Father we exalt You. You alone are King. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Let everything that has breath 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, so perfectly, just as it is in heaven. Send us now Your provision. Let us 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. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You and Your wonder and all the great things that You do and have done. Deliver us from the evil of the past and present and future. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold of 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 YAH Yeshuah HaMoshiach, and we ask them of You Father. You alonea are King. Thank You for Your mercies and Your loving kindness toward us. Amen, and Amen. Amen, and Amen. Amen.

Doing Good

If we are interested in the topic of spiritual warfare, we can become more involved in many ways that are somewhat simple. We can choose to do good. It is what Peter said about our Messiah.

Acts 10:36 The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)
37 That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

We see a couple things here. First, Yeshuah (Jesus) healed all that were oppressed of the devil, because God was with Him. It would appear that any affliction that needs healing is something from the devil. Secondly, He was doing good as perceived by the nation of Israel to whom He was sent to preach peace. How would He have done that, and what would the nation of Israel consider as Him “doing good”? Paul gives us insight here.

Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

So preaching comes from someone publishing peace/preach peace. Paul was quoting Nahum.

Nahum 1:15 Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace! O Judah, keep thy solemn feasts, perform thy vows: for the wicked shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut off.

So first we see that the keeping of the feasts publishes/preaches peace, but peace with who? Answer: God. Peace with God destroys the enemy in our midst, as in healing all those that are oppressed of the devil because God was with Him. And what would the Jews have considered doing good, aside from healing?

Deuteronomy 6:4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord:
5And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

And then the rest of it…

Leviticus 19:18 Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the Lord.

So we see that doing good certainly can be spiritual warfare.

Let’s do good today!

Prayer

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. Deliver us from tht evil here. Yes, deliver us from that evil here. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You. Let there be only thoughts and memories of You. Restore Your people, Father. Restore them unto You. Restore unto Your people all that the worm has eaten. 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. We call out to You, Father YAH, because this is Your kingdom, and Your power, and it is for Your glory forever. We ask all these things of You, Father. We ask all these things, O King, in the name YAH Yeshauh HaMoshiach. Amen, Amen, and Amen.

Working Our Way Home

In the battle to live out a life that is honoring to our Father in heaven, it can be helpful to have a goal in mind and work toward that goal. A worthy goal is to reflect on someday we will be going home to be with our Father. When we get there we want to hear those words.

Matthew 25:21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

We are meant to be working on the kingdom here in this earth, the kingdom of heaven (rulership of the air).

Matthew 24:45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.

We are to use this power in the ways He has described.

Matthew 25:34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
35 For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungered, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

We are to care for those that need it most.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here in the hearts and the monds and the bodies of the people.

Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Wipe away, wipe away, wipe away, all 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 and your love for us. Deliver us from the evil here that would rise up against us, and even within us. Rise up, O King, and deliver today. Restore Your people unto You, YAH, even now restore. Restore also all that the worm has eaten. Restore one thousandfold all that the enemy has taken or held back of that which is good, and the more besides. We ask all these things of You, Father. Send in quickly the $423,503,962.53 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 YAH, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMoshiach. Amen. Amen.
