Today Is The Day

Today is the day! That is a great battle cry! It is also a good reminder to be thankful to our Father. I sense that today many good things will begin to happen for God’s people. Perhaps saying a scripture outloud in thanksgiving to our Father is the most appropriate thing to do.

Psalms 107:1 O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;
3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.
4 They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.
5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
6 Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.
7 And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.
8 Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
9 For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.
10 Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;
11 Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:
12 Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.
13 Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.
14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.
15 Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

And now, let us watch to see what God will do.

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 heaven. Send us now Your abundant provision this very day, that we might bless others. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Let us repeat Your words that we might conform to them, wiping away thoughts and memories of evil done to us or by us. Heal us from the inside. Deliver us from the evil here. Restore 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 Yeshuah (Jesus). WE ask all these things of You, Father, in Your name YAH! Amen.

It Is Not A Man

When we find ourselves feeling like life is overwhelming, we only need pause the thought process just a bit. Stopping to remember those moments when our Father was very large on our behalf will be most helpful to us. IA friend was recently telling me a story about how someone he had done work for refused to pay him the agreed upon amount. Several things came up in that conversation. The first is a warning for that person that held back the money.

James 5:1 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.
4 Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.

What I reminded my friend is that there is something to be thankful for in all this.

Numbers 23:19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

And what is it that our Father promises to us?

Psalms 103:1 Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
6 The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.

Today, we can be happy that our Father is not a man, and that He will do what He has promised.

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.

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 overwhelming 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 or memories of the evil done to us or by us. Replace them with thoughts and memories of only You. Heal up our hearts and minds. 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 lands, and possessions, and jewels, gold and silver, and great wealth, and relationships. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We ask all of these things of You, Father, in Your name YAH! Amen.

Thankful For The Good News

As I write this I am reminded of the fall feasts. I am very thankful for them, and the good news they bring.

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.

It appears there is good news for those that believe. When we keep the feasts, it cuts off the enemy – the wicked one and his chumps.

Thanks be to our Father, YAH!

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Bless and praise the name YAH! Let Your will be done here in this earth as it is with You in heaven. Send us now Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us for 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 the thoughts and memories of evil done to us or by us. Replace these with thoughts and memories of only You. Restore one thousandfold all that has been taken or held back that is good, and the more besides. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We ask all these things in Your name, Father, in the name of YAH! Amen.

Waiting Thankfully

This morning I am thinking about the journey to Jerusalem just over 2000 years ago made by a recently married couple. She was very pregnant and they were traveling a ways by donkey or camel, most likely. At the end of the day today was a High Holy Day and they needed to be in Jerusalem. They new the secret that others did not. It was no ordinary child. Imagine the emotions of the mother and father as they traveled. They had to wonder what’s next. And they were likely filled with awe and thankfulness towards the Father for what He was doing.

Psalms 117:1 O praise the Lord, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people.
2 For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the Lord endureth for ever. Praise ye the Lord.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King! Praise the name Yahuah. Let Your will be done 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 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! Amen.

When We Give Thanks

It is important, perhaps, that we remember to give thanks at all times for all that our Father has done for us. It is an amazing thing to watch as our Father moves in the earth. Let’s just read a Psalm of thanksgiving and givr thanks to our Master and Creator.

Psalms 100 – A Psalm of praise.
1 Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands.
2 Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
3 Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
5 For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are our King! You are, the One True King! Praise the name Yahuah! Let Your will be done in this earth as it is in heaven. Send us now Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us to forgive all those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Wipe away every thought or memory of evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You. Deliver us from the evil here. Help us to see what You see, say what You say, and do what You do. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all the good of provision, prosperity, finances, and all material goods that have 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! Amen.

Swinging The Blade

We are the earthly warriors of our Father. And we are not earthly warriors with earthly weapons, for our weapons are spiritual.

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;
6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

So though we are in this world, we war against things not in this world, which both thoughts and evil beings.

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.

The greatest weapon we have is in our mouth, according to scripture.

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 in the Greek translated “word” in this passage is rhema. Checking this scripture against others, and knowing the translation for rhema is “utterance”, we see the importance of what we speak. What we speak into the air is having an effect, good or bad. We get to choose by selecting what we will utter out of our mouth.

Today, let us speak for the benefit of the kingdom.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are our King! Praise the name YAH! Let Your will be done here 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. Wipe away every thought and every memory of evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You. Deliver us from the evil here. Restore relationships, prosperity, finances, and all good that has been taken or held back in any way one thousandfold, 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.

Thankful At All Times

We all experience different events and times in our lives, some good and some not so good. The real question is what do we do about those things when they occur? The scriptures seem to indicate that we should continue to be thankful at all times.

1 Thessalonians 5:14 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.
15 See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.
16 Rejoice evermore.
17 Pray without ceasing.
18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
19 Quench not the Spirit.
20 Despise not prophesyings.
21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.
23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
24 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.

As I read this today, I was thankful for the instructions that our Father has give to us here.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are King! Praise and bless the name YAH! Let Your will be done in this earth 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. Wipe away all thoughts and memories of evil done to us or by us. Heal us from the inside. 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. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We assk all these things of You, Father, in Your name, YAH! Amen.

Just Thanks

As I listen to all our Father has been doing in the lives of so many, all I can do is say, “Thanks” for all that is done for us all. Here is a great scripture to reflect those feeling.

Psalms 107:19 Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses.
20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.
21 Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
22 And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.

Praise and thanks to our Father!

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King! Praise the name Yahuah! Let Your will be done here as it is in heaven. Send us now Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us for our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Completely remove and wipe away clean all thoughts and memories of evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You. Heal us completely, body, mind, and heart, that we might be whole, wanting nothing. Restore unto Your people one hundredfold all the good that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and the more besides. Let this be yet another Exodus. Rise up, my King, and deliver Your people now. 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.

Simply Thanks

This morning as I sat thinking about what to be thankful for today, I was overwhelmed as I tried to focus on any one thing. Probably for many of us, if we were to try to narrow our focus to just one thing to thank our Father for today, it would take some work. Thinking about what writers in scripture have said, I was able to see why there are times when they simply say, thank you.

Colossians 3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

It is good to ponder the topic of thankfulness. It helps us to come full circle back to the one that has set us apart from others, our Father. Let us all be thankful today.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King! Praise the name YAH! Let Your will be in this earth 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. Wipe away completely any and all thoughts or memories of evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You, YAH. Deliver us from the evil here. Restore one hundredfold all the good that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people, Father, and the more besides. We need You. Help us quickly, today. 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.

Attitude Of The Heart

We believers have the amazing ability to approach life very differently from the time when we were not believers. We get to make choices and operate from a clean slate. That alone would be something to be very thankful for to our Father. But then, we also are given a guarantee that He will give us wisdom to make good choices.

James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

And if that were not enough to be thankful, there is the promise that ultimately, everything will be okay.

Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

So we can be thankful for all that has been done, what is happening now, and what will ultimately happen in the future.

We can count on our Father to do all that He has said He will do.

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 today Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Wipe away our thoughts and memories of evil done to us and by us. In the empty place that remains let there be only thoughts and memories of You. Heal us up inside and outside. Restore right relationships between and for Your people. Let them be the head and not the tail. Let them lend and not borrow. Restore unto Your people all the possessions and prosperity that have been taken or held back in any way, and the more besides. Show us a sign for good that all men might know that You alone are God. 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.
