Battle Strength In Yahuah (Lord)

We have the greatest potential power in serving our Father that comes from surrendering to Him. When we do, He will remember His promises to keep us in His ways of His righteousness, and deliver to us His mercy and His truth.

Psalms 85 To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.
1 Lord, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.
2 Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.
3 Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger.
4 Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease.
5 Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?
6 Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?
7 Shew us thy mercy, O Lord, and grant us thy salvation.
8 I will hear what God the Lord will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.
9 Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.
10 Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
11 Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.
12 Yea, the Lord shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase.
13 Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.

Our greatest weapon in spiritual warfare is surrender – to our Father, Yahuah (Lord).

Fighting Back

When I first began to write here this morning, I was planning to title this piece “Fighting Back Daily” and then, I realized something. It is not just daily. When one hears “daily” it is possible to think we are saying something like, once each day. I know that, for example, I try to get up and spend the first moments of the morning praying and writing here. However, there are at least a couple problems with that line of thinking. First, it does not appear that the morning is the beginning of the day, according to scripture.

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

At the very beginning, there was darkness upon the face of the earth, and light was created. God separated them, and there was a cycle of a day. This is further supported by what David said in Psalms.

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.
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.

Here we see David referring to prayer for a one day period by saying, “evening, and morning, and at noon…” It would appear that the day is to begin with the evening. Now, the question that comes to mind is, why is this important. I do not know, other than it is written. I do know that for me and for many this is a foreign concept. What would it mean to us to think of the day differently? How would that thinking impact our lives? What I do know is our Father, thinks and acts differently from us, and yet we are to be like Him.

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.

Our Father seems to be saying to us to think like He thinks, and to make our way (speaking and acting) like His way. I agree.

Let’s make our thoughts and our actions like His.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here. Let Your will be done here, as it is in heaven. Send us now Your overwhelming provision such that it overflows to those around us, while it is called today. 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 thoughts and memories of evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You. Heal our hearts and minds, and heal our bodies. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold, and thousands of thousands, all that has been taken or held back in any way, and the more besides. Send in quickly the $424,523,962.53 that the kingdom might go forth speedily. 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.

Winning Is Warfare

When we win, we make a statement about warfare. We are proclaiming that our Father is King! When things appear to not be going as planned, we need to reassure ourselves that we are in a good place with our Father. The best way to do that is to be spending time with God everyday. Scriptures are full of words of encouragement to be steady in our approach to Yahuah (Lord).

2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

We also need to trust Him. It is not enough to just believe. We need to trust. This is what separates faith from wishing.

Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

It is the speaking, the utterance of God that creates what we call reality.

Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

The word used for “word” here is the Greek word rhema, which refers to the action and not the content. If we will utter what He gives us to utter, then we will be co-creators with Him. We can win, and that truly is warfare.

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.

We are winners!

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. you are our King! Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here. Let Your will be done here in this earth just like it is in heaven. Send us now Your overwhelming provision while it is called today 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. Deliver us from the evil here. Create in us clean hearts and minds. 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 the $424,523,962.53 quickly that the kingdom might go forth from it. 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.

Truth Wins

We have the privilege of walking with our Father, YAH, everyday. He created everything.

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

He knew before He created everything exactly how everything would take place.

Colossians 1:12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

He unfolds the future from what He has spoken would be.

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:

Since we are on His side, when we battle, we know that we will encounter things not of this world.

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.

And we also know that while we have protection and defensive armor, we also have a powerful weapon to fight off the enemy. The sword of the Spirit.

Ephesians 6:17 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;

The word here for sword is the Greek word “rhema” which means utterance. It is the utterance of the prayers in the Spirit that is the sword of the Spirit.

We have been given opportunity by the One that is guaranteed to win to be fully prepared for battle. It just now occurred to me.

If we do not pray in the Spirit, everything is defense.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here. Lert Your will be done here as it is in heaven. Send us now while it is called today Your overwhelming 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. Heal up and cleanse our hearts and minds. Deliver us from the evil here. Bring in the $424,523,962.53 for Your kingdom work. Restore unto Your people right relationships with You, and with each other. Restore all the possessions and gold and cash 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 Yahuah (Lord). We ask all these things in the name of YAH Yeshauh! Amen.

Don’t Be Surprised

When we ask our Father for something, it does come to pass.

Mark 11:23 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.

When we ask our Father for something, the asking usually comes with some expectation. We have a certain way that we anticipate the thing we have asked to appear. However, it may appear in a manner different than we expect. This may explain Peter’s surprise at the withered fig tree just before this.

Mark 11:12 And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:
13 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.
14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.
15 And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;
16 And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.
17 And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.
18 And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine.
19 And when even was come, he went out of the city.
20 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.
21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.
22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.

Last night in a vision or dream (I am uncertain if I was asleep) I saw how what we pray ends up becoming something of more substance. I saw a word in letters. The letters were very tall compared to me, three dimensional, and medium to light blue. I do not recall at the moment of the actual word itself. But the word was floating in the air. Then somehow, as I interacted with the word from my heart metaphysically the letters settled into the ground which appeared to be rock. The Rock was like cut from a mountain or perhaps was a mountain, with the stone being dark and very hard like a majestic granite. This settling caused the letters of this word to displaced the rock where the letters touched the rock, but not in a violent way. It became small stones in those locations. Suddenly it settled, and I could see that it had stopped moving. At that moment the letters changed to being the same as the rock. One could say they became rock and a part of the rock. I came to understand that this was the process by which our words, our prayers manifest, from our words to reality. I was then able to interact with a word that was in the process of floating over the rock waiting to complete the rest of the process. Whether I was repeating what I just saw or whether it was a new word, I do not know, YAH knows. It may have been an actual word that I have spoken. As I focused on the process, I could use the believing in my heart to cause the word to settle and become a part of the Rock.

Our Father has said that we are like Him, that He created us that way.

Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Our Father has also said that the words out of His mouth do not return void, that they accomplish what He has said.

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.

Something to ask ourselves today is this:

If we are like our Father as He says we are, will our words also come to pass? If that is true, what have we created with our words recently, and what should we create with our words from this day forward?

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here. Let Your will be done here as it is in heaven. Send us now, while it is called today, Your overwhelming provision that it might overflow to those around us. Let us call forth Your will and Your kingdom in this earth. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. We call upon You, Father, to wipe away all thoughts and memories of evil done to us or by us. Renew our hearts and minds, giving us only thoughts and memories of You and Your love toward us in their place. In so doing, heal our hearts and minds. Deliver us from the evil here. Give us wisdom in the decisions today that we must make. Send in the $424,523,962.53. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold of all the good that has been taken or held back in any way, and the more besides, whether relationships that need unity, lands, monies, gold, silver, precious jewels, and even unto those things which we never had. 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 these things in the name of YAH Yeshuah. Amen.

Unity And Division

There are things that bring us together and things that tear us apart. This morning looking into the falling leaves in my back yard I have to question if this makes any sense. People seem to come to some understandings, which they then articulate, and they let those things cause them to separate from someone else. We know that God has a preference.

Psalms 133 A Song of degrees of David.
1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;
3 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.

In the times of the Messiah, when he spoke, it caused the non-believers and the transgressors of the Law (sinners) to draw near to Him to hear what He had to say.

Luke 15:1 Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.
2 And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.

If we can be more like our Messiah, we will draw people to the things we say and do. People are drawn to the truth that sets them free.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here. Send us today, even now, Your overwhelming provision that it might overflow to those around us. Please forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that trespass or transgress against us. Wipe away all 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. We need a transformation in our hearts and minds to be more like You. Please do that, and heal us. Heal our bodies from sickness, disease, and frailty. Deliver us from the evil here. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all that has been taken or held back of that which is good, in any way, and the more besides. We ask that You bring in lands, monies, precious metals and stones, substance, provisions, relationships, and even those things that are good that we do not know to ask. We strongly desire to see 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! Amen. We also ask that You bring in the $424,523,962.53, and more besides. Amen.

Walking It Out

In yesterday’s writings I mentioned the importance of speaking the Law to make it possible to overcome evil. In speaking with a friend about this, he tried it yesterday. This morning he reported that it worked with significant positive results. While that is a one time event, he committed to trying it again today and to getting back with me about the results. There is power is saying what our Father has already said about life. It gives life. Or maybe better said, it resonates life.

Proverbs 4:20 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.
21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.
22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.

Life itself, and health, are available to those willing to meditate on the Law day and night. Here are a few more verses worth repeating.

Proverbs 10:22 The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.

Proverbs 22:4 By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches, and honour, and life.

Deuteronomy 8:18 But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.

Beginning today, let us all speak out loud the same words our Father has spoken, and watch as His words come to pass.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Bring Your kingdom here. Let Your will be done here as it is in heaven. Send us now Your overwhelming provision such that is overflows to others. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Wipe away all thoughts or memories of evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You. Heal up our hearts and minds, that our lips might speak as You speak and have spoken. Heal our bodies as a testimony of Your will and Your power. Deliver us from the evil here. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all that has been taken or held back in any way, and the more besides. Bring in the $424,523,962.53 and 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! Amen.

Upholding Honor

Much has been both written and spoken about the concept of honor. What does it really mean to uphold honor? It would seem to mean that a person is meant to keep something of importance in place. How does that work out exactly? It is not completely clear to me how humans do that, and yet there are many stories of how men and women have done just that, even unto horrifying deaths. It appears it is done in the end by choosing.

Deuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
20 That thou mayest love the Lord thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.

Today let us choose to uphold and honor our Father, YAH.

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. Send us Your provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Heal us and deliver us. Restore unto Your people far beyond what we can ask or think. 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! Amen.

Powerful Spiritual Weapons

Surrender. Not to the enemy, but to our Father. If we can learn to surrender our lives to the Father, that is the most powerful of spiritual weapons. The reason is simple. It puts the entire battle and its outcome on His very broad and capable shoulders. And He has never lost.

Isaiah 55:9 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.
12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the Lord for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.

His performance of His word that goes out of His mouth is His name.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King! Praise the name YAH! Let Your will be done in the earth as it is in the 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 the thoughts and the memories of evil done to us or by us. Replace them with thoughts and memories of only You. Heal us inside and out. Deliver us from the evil here. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all of the good that has been taken or held back in any way, 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! Amen.

Willing To Win

When the darkness of fear, doubt, sickness, disease, or poverty seem to overwhelm us, there is an important question to ask ourselves. Are we willing to win? That may seem like a silly question, but in reality, it is extremely important. The only real possibility for deliverance in any of these situations is our Father, King of the universe. To be willing to win, in this sense, means to be willing to embrace fully what God says versus what any other input seems to reveal. One man put it this way to our Messiah.

Mark 9:21 And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child.
22 And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.
23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.
26 And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.
27 But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.
28 And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out?
29 And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.

Even when we struggle, if we will be honest in that struggle, our Deliver will deliver us.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are King! Bless the name YAH! Let Your will be done in the earth as it is in heaven. Send us Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Heal us from the inside. 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 of finances, lands, relationships, and health, 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! Amen.
