Fighting The Defeated

It can be difficult to fully understand the the idea of spiritual warfare. It comes to us from at least two scriptures. One is Paul’s letter to the Corinthians.

2 Corinthians 10:3 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;)
5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

And Paul also gave us some details in Ephesians.

Ephesians 6:12 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.

For this we know from these scriptures, we are well equipped for the battle. At the same time, the interesting part is the enemy was already defeated.

Colossians 2:13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

So we see that the curse(s) in the Law were defeated at the cross of our Messiah, giving us the power to live rightly even in our hearts and minds.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here in the hearts and minds of mankind. Let Your will be done here as it is in heaven where all things sing praises to You. Send us now Your overwhelming provision that it might overflow to those around us. Deliver us from the evil here. 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. We need Your love between us, and Your heart and mind. We bless the spirit man in each believer that we might all see clearly to be like You. Send in quickly the $423,923,962.53 that we might use it to spread the gospel of God. Restore unot Your people seventy times seven fold 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 (Jesus). We ask all these things of You, Father, in Your name YAH. We ask all these things in the name of YAH Yeshuah. Amen.

Keeping It Simple

Today we will keep it simple. These verses say it all.

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.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
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 our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here in the hearts and minds of mankind. Let Your will be done here as it is 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 trepassed or transgressed against us. Deliver us from the evil here. Restore unto your people seventy times seven fold all that has been eaten, take, or held back that was good, and the more besides. Send in quickly the $423,923.962.53 that we might use it to promote Your kingdom here. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We ask all these things of You, Father, in Your name YAH. We ask all these things in the name YAH Yeshuah. Amen.

Standing And Not Bending

This morning I am saddened as I think of the oppression and challenges faced by many people that long to be free. Just yesterday I heard a story of someone that is struggling with certain dependency issues. I pray for his recovery, and for the recovery of many that need to hear the truth that our Father is really on our side. When people come against us, we need to love them as best we can. That truly is the kingdom of God within us. David experienced someone that he had walked closely with turning on him. He asked our Father for help.

Psalms 55:12 For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:
13 But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.
14 We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company.
15 Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.
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.
18 He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me.
19 God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.

Our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus) spoke about this issue with our brother. When another brother comes against us, we can be comforted just as David was comforted. We can know that it is our Father who will set things right.

Luke 6:41 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
42 Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother’s eye.
43 For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
44 For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.
45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.

In the end, we are called to pray for those that would deal with us poorly.

MAtthew 5:43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

Romans 12:16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

It can be a challenge to stand in the face of evil speaking, especially when that comes from someone that claims to be a brother in the Messiah. But we are called to love one another. We can do that, with our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus) in our hearts and minds.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come in this earth into the hearts and minds of mankind. Deliver us from the evil here, Father. Let Your will be done in the 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 that is in this earth, and from the evil in the hearts and minds of us all. Wipe away these thoughts and memories, and let them be renewed with Your love and compassion. Deliver us from the evil here. Send in quickly the $423,923,962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom of God. Restore unto Your people seventy times seven fold all the good that has been eaten, 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 (Jesus). We need You, my King. We need You to come in great strength. Send in Your angels to clear the air. We ask all these things of You in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah as well. We ask all these things of You in Your name, YAH. We ask all these things of You in the name of YAH Yeshuah. Amen.

Loving Is Warfare

When our Messiah walked the earth, He kept the Father’s commands perfectly, according to what He stated.

Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil [keep].

As John tells us if we love Him we will keep the commands He commanded and walk as He walked.

1 John 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

How did our Messiah tell us to walk?

Matthew 5:18 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.

He had a warning that it was about the heart.

Matthew 5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
21 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

When asked about the greatest commandments, our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus) answered from scripture.

Mark 12:28 And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?
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.

He was quoting the Shema from Deuteronomy.

Deuteronomy 6:4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord:
5 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:

And then He quoted from Leviticus, where the greater detail is about the Law.

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.

It was always about the heart. That was the message that God started with in the beginning. It is the same mesage that our Messiah preached – the gospel of the kingdom of God. The leaders made it about the letters, but God made it about the substance. Always. We have always been called to love. The kingdom of God is in our hearts.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King! Praise the name YAH! Let Your will be done here as it is in heaven where all things react in perfect harmony to Your plan. Let Your kingdom, O God, come to the hearts of mankind. Deliver us. Send us today Your overwhelming provision that it might overflow to those around us. Help us to help our brothers and sisters here. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Let us think only of Your love and forget the rest. Send in quickly the $423,923,962.53 that we might promote your kingdom to the people here. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all the good that has been eaten, held back, or taken in any way, and the more besides. Deliver us Father, and we shall be delivered. Rise up, my King, and hear what we cry. Show Yourself strong on our behalf that we might serve You well. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We ask all these things in the name of You, Father, the name YAH. We ask all these things in the name YAH Yeshuah. Amen.

Defend The Gate

We are granted access to the kingdom of heaven through the gates. Those gates are within us. Just as Yeshuah was the Door, the opening, within us are gates to the kingdom of heaven. The kingdom of God is within us. God wants to rule and reign within us, just as He does in heaven. The gates within us are the opening on our end to the passageway between the two. Yeshuah is the Door, the opening, that leads to the Father. All must pass through Him to get to the Father. No exceptions. It is in this place that we find Wisdom.

Proverbs 8:1 Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?
2 She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.
3 She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors.
4 Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man.
5 O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.
6 Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things.

Wisdom leads us to our Father.

Proverbs 9:9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
11 For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.

It is important therefore that we defend the gates within us. It is these gates that lead us where they will. We want to be with our Father. Defend the gates!

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come in the hearts of mankind today. Let Your will be done here perfectly, as it is in heaven. Send us today 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. We need You and Your healing power today. Wipe away all the thoughts or 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 toward us. Let us serve You, Father, in a good way. Send in quickly the $424,523,962.53 that we might help those around us. Restore unto Your people all the good that has been eaten, taken, or in any way held back from your people, and the more besides. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We ask all these things of You, Father, in Your name YAH. We ask all these things of You in the name YAH Yeshuah. Amen.

Steadfast Love

In the face of many challenges, one thing that will help us to reach success is to remain certain in our course, to remain unfailing in both our thoughts and beliefs about our Father’s calling in our lives. This applies to not only our calling, but any direction we feel He has given to us.

1 Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

And one reason we can do this is because we can know that His love toward us is steadfast.

Lamentations 3:22 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.

He is and will always be merciful unto us.

Psalms 136:1 O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
2 O give thanks unto the God of gods: for his mercy endureth for ever.
3 O give thanks to the Lord of lords: for his mercy endureth for ever.

23 Who remembered us in our low estate: for his mercy endureth for ever:
24 And hath redeemed us from our enemies: for his mercy endureth for ever.
25 Who giveth food to all flesh: for his mercy endureth for ever.
26 O give thanks unto the God of heaven: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Today we can see that the bond between God and man is a very great strength to us to remember His love and willingness to fight for us and redeem us from our enemies.

Let’s remain steadfast in the work He has given us to do.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here in the hearts and minds of mankind. Let Your will be done here as it is perfectly in heaven with the sun ruling the day and the moon and the stars ruling the night. Send us now Your miraculous provision, as You always do for 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 that would plague our hearts and minds. Let us remain steadfast in Your love, walking out that which have given us to do. We love You. We do not understand all there is to know. What we do understand is that we love You, and we will need Your help and Your guidance to make a difference here. We need You to be our King. Help us to help others. Let us be Your people and share Your light in a dark and dying world. Redeem us and raise us up from the dust, setting us in high places. Restore the wealth that Moses promised. Let that blessing be here. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah. We ask all these things in the name that rules the heavens and earth, Your name Father. We ask in the name YAH for You to rise up, O King, and deliver yet today. We ask all these things in the name YAH Yeshuah. Amen.

Fighting Back

For many of us as believers we have spent much of our lives fighting for our “spot” in own own lives. By that I mean we are on the defensive much of the time. When we spend that time struggling for what is our own place, we cannot battle for new territory. That may well be the plan of our enemy. That plan: to keep us reeling just from regular blows in our daily lives so that we are not a threat elsewhere. We can overcome that likely in more than one way, but one way is to fight back.

James 4:6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

It seems that one way is to simply resist the enemy. We do that by verbally stating that we resist. Much of our fighting is with our lips to turn our own hearts and minds.

Romans 10:5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
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.

We can miss something quite valuable here. Paul is quoting Moses twice. Moses said what is in verse five. But it is Moses that Paul quotes for verses six – eight.

Deuteronomy 30:6 And the Lord thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.

11 For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off.
12 It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
14 But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.

Our Father Yahuah (Lord) does a work in our heart based on the words that come out of our mouth. We can literally speak to ourselves about the good things of God and change our hearts and minds! This is the ultimate resistance in may ways because we can say these things. If we cannot speak, then we need input in other ways, but the input controls the output, and we can control that input.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come and Your will be done in the hearts of mankind. Send us Your provision now. 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 in our hearts and minds and lives. Wash away the thoughts and memories of the evil done to us or by us. Restore unto Your people all that has been taken or held back in any way, and the more besides. Send in quickly the $424,523,962.53 that we might feed Your people, and care for their needs. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We ask all these things of You, Father, in Your name YAH. We ask all these things in the name YAH Yeshuah. Amen.

From Small Beginnings

There is a scripture that captures very well how so much can happen from small beginnings.

Luke 9:1 Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.
2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
3 And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.
4 And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart.
5 And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.
6 And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.

This is our calling and our blessinng. We have the oportunity to be disciples of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We have this same power and authority.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King! Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom com in the hearts and minds of men. Let Your will be done here perfectly just as it is in heaven. Send us now Your overwhelming provision. Deliver us from the evil here. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Let our thoughts and memories be only of You and the good that You have done for us. Deliver us from our fears. Restore unto Your people seventy times sevenfold all that the the locust has eaten, or the enemy has stolen or held back in any way. We need You to send the angels to deliver the goods, freeing them from the enemy’s grip. Send in quickly the $424,523,962.53 that we might use it to advance the kingdom here. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We ask all these things of You, Father, in Your name YAH. We ask all these things in the name of YAH Yeshuah. Amen.

Select Your Lamb

According to scriptures, when it is time for the Passover to occur, we are to select a lamb without spot or blemish on the 10th day of Nisan.

Exodus 12:1 And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
2 This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.
3 Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:
4 And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb.
5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:
6 And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening.

The selection of that lamb was important because the blood of that lamb would be on their house to protect them from the plague of death.

Exodus 12:7 And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it.
8 And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.
9 Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof.
10 And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.
11 And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the Lord’s passover.
12 For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the Lord.
13 And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.
14 And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the Lord throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.

Likely the people would have taken great care in the selection of the lamb. They would have become fond of it as well, caring for it from the 10th to the 14th separately from the rest of the flock. The family would have known that this lamb was going to protect them from death that was sure to come.

We too must choose wisely today. What we set aside and revere, we worship and serve. We, too, have a Lamb.

Revelation 5:8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.
9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

We see that we have our Lamb, our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus), who covers us with His blood, and our household. He has already defeated every enemy that we might face to set us free here in this life, and again in the next.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Send us Your kingdom into the hearts and minds of mankind. Let Your perfect will be done here, as it is in heaven. Send us now Your provision, that we would have sufficient to feed thousands. 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 that enters our hearts and minds. 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. We want to serve only You. Help us. Send in quickly the $424,523,962.53 that we might use it to promote Your kingdom here in the hearts and minds of mankind, and care for those in need. Restore unto Your people better than it ever was all the good that has been taken or held back in any way, and the more besides, to one thousandfold and beyond. We ask You rise up, O King, and do these things quickly. We assk all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We ask all these things of You, Father, in Your name YAH. We ask all these things of You in the name YAH Yeshuah. Amen.

Helping Is Fighting

Writing out the title today, it seems a good idea to explain a bit exactly what I mean. When I say fighting, I am referring to the phrase, “fighting the good fight” of faith, or spiritual warfare. We are all called to help our fellow man, and more specifically to assist those of the family of God.

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.

We see here then that we have the opportunity to help us, and likely the obligation to so do, when we can. Helping someone with a fallen tree, mowing a yard, repairing a door, or even just carrying in groceries – all these are really spiritual warfare because we get to be like our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus).

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your will come to the hearts and minds of mankind, that the kingdom of God might be in us. 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 of thoughts and memories of the evil done to us or by us. Let them be replaced with thoughts and memories of only You and Your love toward us. Restore unto Your people seventy times sevenfold and the more besides of all the good that has been taken or held back in any way from them. Send in quickly the $424,523,962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom of God in the hearts and minds of mankind. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We ask all these things of You, Father, in Your name YAH. We ask all these things of You in the name YAH Yeshuah. Amen.
