Thankful For Understanding

This morning as I think about all that I have come to understand about God, I am amazed. I sit in awe at the grace and love He extends toward us, toward me in particular, to let us catch a glimpse of who He is. These last few months have led me to a deeper understanding than I thought possible. It seems like each day something new comes up. It makes me think of when I did not know these things. It also makes me think of how much more I do not yet understand. I am so thankful that our Father even bothers to try to help us with this understanding. It makes me want to just keep thanking Him.

Psalms 34:1 I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.Abimelech: or, Achish
2 My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.
3 O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.
4 I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.

Today, let us all think of at least one thing that we can thank our Father for that we have been given, and bless His name Yahuah (Lord).

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name Yahuah! Let Your will be among us. Send today Your overwhelming provision that we might bless others. Forgive us our trespasses, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed against us. Cleanse and heal our hearts and minds. Restore right relationships among all Your people. Deliver us from the evil that attempts to draw us away from You. Arise and scatter our enemies, confound and confuse the works of those that have come against us, and deliver us with Your mighty hand that all men might know that You alone are the one that has done this thing. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

New Day

Each day we are given a gift from our Father. That is the gift of a new day that has never been before.

Lamentations 3:21 This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.recall…: Heb. make to return to my heart
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.
24 The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
25 The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.
26 It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord.

We do not have to carry into today the baggage from the day before. We also do not need to consider tomorrow. It is good enough to know that our Father is with us today, and we can be thankful that He is listening to help us today.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King! Praise the name Yahuah! Let the light of Your will be done here. Come, rejoice with us. Send us today Your over whelming provision that overflows from us to others. Forgive us our transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have transgressed against us. Heal us all Father, restore our minds, our bodies, and our spirits that we my bless Your name, Yahuah (Lord). Rise up King, and turn the hearts of those that rule. We need Your help renewed today, and we thank You and praise You renewed today. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Thankful For Forgiveness

This morning in prayer I was thanking Yahuah (Lord) for His mercy and His forgiveness. As I meditated on this, I realized that many times I wanted people to extend mercy toward me and they had not. It gave me opportunity to struggle with bitterness. I thought, “Wouldn’t it be great if everyone just forgave each other?” The it hit me. I was guilty of the very same thing. And, I was now aware of it. Actually, I could start this new trend. I could let it begin with me, as our Messiah told us.

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 meant to forgive each other. We are meant to be at peace with one another. Today I suggest we all cry out to our Father and ask His help in forgiving others, for that is definitely forgiveness worth being thankful for today.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name Yahuah! Let us be Your lights in this earth. Send us today Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those that trespass against us. Heal our hearts and minds. Deliver us from the evil. Restore all that has been taken, held back, or broken apart in any way from Your people. Thank you, my King! You alone are King! We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

So Worthy Of Praise

As I thought about all God has done and is doing, it seemed more than I could really comprehend. I found myself wanting to praise Him for all He has done for me and my family.

Psalms 135:1 Praise ye the Lord. Praise ye the name of the Lord; praise him, O ye servants of the Lord.
2 Ye that stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God,

We can take this one step further, and we can praise Yahuah just for who He is. When we stop to think, He is in fact the one who gave us everything and makes all things possible.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King! Praise the name Yahuah! Let Your will be with us. Send us Your provision now. Forgive us our trespasses, and help us to forgive those that have trespassed against us. Heal up our hearts and minds. Restore Your people. Deliver us from the evil here. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Joy Of The Lord

Today as I awoke I was praying and sensed people in sadness. As I began to pray for them, I prayed for strength for them and for me. I was reminded of a scripture.

Nehemiah 8:8 So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading.
9 And Nehemiah, which is the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites that taught the people, said unto all the people, This day is holy unto the Lord your God; mourn not, nor weep. For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the law.
10 Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the Lord is your strength.

This scripture is often quoted. What I have overlooked n the past is how the reading of the Law caused the people to weep because they began to draw closer to God. Nehemiah told them it was a time of rejoicing. They now knew who they were, and who our Father was. When thinking of the joy of the Lord, there are two ways to consider it. One that I thought about only today is it is His joy. He is rejoicing.

Zephaniah 3:17 The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.

Our Father sings over us! He sings over us with joy! Is it any wonder that scriptures tell us to rejoice?

Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.

Today, let us all rejoice with singing praise to Yahuah (Lord), ouur God and King!

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name Yahuah! Send Your will among us. Let us be Your lights in this earth. Send us today Your overwhelming provision. Cleanse our wounds and heal our hearts and minds. Deliver us from the evil that surrounds to destroy Your work. Restore unto Your people all that has been taken or held back in any way. Rise up, O King, and strike down the evil coercion That holds any of Your people back from returning to their home, and to Your will for their lives. Confound, confuse, and grind to powder the works of those that are a part of the coercion. Let the whirlwind, dissension, and confusion be in their houses, greatly magnified, and not removed until they turn from such evil. Let them turn upon one another, as in the battles of old when You defeated those that rose up against any of Your people. We ask all these things in the name of Jesus (Yeshuah), our Messiah that died and rose again. Amen.

Thank You

Some things are worth repeating.

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.
4 To him who alone doeth great wonders: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King! Praise the name Yahuah! Let Your will be in this earth. Send us now Your provision. Forgive us for our transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have transgressed against us. Heal our hearts and minds. Deliver us from this evil here. Restore everything for Your people. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Thankfulness

This morning as I awoke I found myself ever so thankful to our Father for all He does for us. He provides us with true firends and family, people that love us through thick and thin. These people are a true reflection to us of Him. He gives us all our needs. There is nothing we can do without Him.

Matthew 6:27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?

When we can come to more fully realize this statement from our Messiah, we begin to learn wisdom, I believe. God does things for us not because we are worthy, but because He is worthy. He takes steps to promote His kingdom. His kingdom is one of love and mercy. His greatest attribute is that of love. Not like we love, but unconditional love. For us humans, that is hard to understand. We seem to somehow always have conditions. He does not. He calls us to be like him.

Today, let our hearts show thankfulness towards Him for His love and mercy.

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.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King! Praise the name Yahuah! Let Your will be here with us. Send us today Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our trespasses, and help us all to forgive those that trespass against us. Heal and cleanse our hearts and minds. Restore unto Your people all that has been taken or held back in any way. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

So Glad It’s God!

Today as I thought about how humans treat other humans, I became very thankful that God is not a man. We believers need to follow the model that our Father has given unto us. The model we are to follow is that of our Father, to give mercy to all mankind.

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?

Today, let us be thankful that God is God.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King! Praise the name Yahuah! Let Your will be done in this earth. Send us now Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins. Help us to forgive those around us. Heal and cleanse our hearts and minds. Deliver us from the evil around us. Restore unto Your people all that has been taken or held back in any way. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah( Jesus). Amen.

Thankfulness From The Mountain

Recently a friend of mine had opportunity to pray from a mountain. He said as he looked across the lights in the valley at night, He was filled with thankfulness at the awesomeness of God and His mercy. Over and over again my friend heard the word mercy in his spirit. Such a vision can only cause us to realize just how small we are, yet our Father cares for us.

Matthew 6:26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Let us today be thankful for our Father’s never ending mercy and love.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King! Praise the name Yahuah! WE need Your will in the earth – send it now Father. Send us today Your provision in abundance. Forgive us our trespasses, and help us all to forgive the trespasses of others. We are a fragile people, and we do not mean to cause harm. Heal us from our wounds. Deliver us from the darkness of the present age. Rise up, O King, rise up and destroy the evil spirits that are behind the evil doings! Grind to powder the works of the enemy. Destroy them on every side, destroy and confound their works, grinding them to powder and blowing them away in the whirlwind. Let their be confusion in the enemies camp such that one thing does not remain able to be stacked on another. Let them flee their work is frustration and discontent. Let them be drawn to other things. Show Yourself King! We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

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! Praise the name Yahuah! Let Your will reign. Send us Your provisions. Forgive us our sins. Restore the hearts and minds of Your people. Heal us, Father. In Your mercy, restore Your people. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
