Staying With Trust

If we can stay the course of continuing to trust our Master and Creator, YAH, we do well. It does sound simple enough, but as any of us that have been at this for any length of time can attest, it is challenging to our nature to trust in the midst of such challenges. We need to be able to be in position to learn from these challenges. Today I am really speaking to myself as much as to anyone. The last many months have been a great challenge to me. But if I think about it, the challenge is really inside of me, the challenge to trust. When I consider this I think of the challenge that was before the children of Israel in the wilderness when fleeing Egypt and the words Moses spoke to them.

Exodus 14:13 And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
14 The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
15 And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward:
16 but lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.
17 And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them: and I will get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
18 And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
19 And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them:
20 and it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night.
21 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.
22 And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
23 And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
24 And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the LORD looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians,
25 and took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD fighteth for them against the Egyptians.
26 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.
27 And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. 28 And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them.
29 But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
30 Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore.
31 And Israel saw that great work which the LORD did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared the LORD, and believed the LORD, and his servant Moses.

Here we see YAH told Moses that he, Moses, already had the power in his hand to deliver the children of Israel. When Moses used that power, the Angel of God also responded to protect them. It was really a matter of trust , and YAH was walking them through this path so that they could learn to trust Him.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Praise the name YAHUAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here, on earth as it is in heaven. Send me now Your provision. Forgive me my trespasses and transgressions, and I do forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me YAH. Keep me from temptations here, and deliver me from the evil here. I thank You YAH for the whirlwind spirits that go before and behind to protect me YAH. I love You. I love You. I love You.Help me to learn more how to promote Your kingdom YAH. I love You. Help me to help Your people YAH. I love You. Let the shalom flow to and through me YAH. I love You. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Deliver Me

When we get opportunity, it is a good thing to pray. Actually, I like to remind myself to take the time to pray. One of the prayers most of us learn growing up is call “The Lord’s Prayer” and is given in the gospels.

Matthew 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

What is it that we ask for when we ask to be delivered from evil? It appears it is as opposed to going into temptation. It is a request for the power over the darkness of the temptation. That can be for many things.

Recently, the temptation that I have faced is to feel like giving up and/or giving it to being overwhelmed. And this is with all of the conscious effort that I put not prayer and seeking YAH. I simply refuse to allow myself to be that person. I am resetting my course for the truth of what I can accomplish. I am committed to continually trying to increase my trust in YAH everyday.

Praise YAH!

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here, on earth ass it is in heaven. Send me now Your provision, and let it overflow. I forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me YAH. I love You. Deliver me from the evil here, and the evil plans men have for me. Keep me from temptations YAH, and deliver me from that evil as well. Set me free YAH, set me free. Let shalom and prosperity flow to me today. Show me a sign for good that all men might know that You alone are King YAH, You alone are King. I love You. I love You. I love You. I ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Making Our Way

Likely I have written about this in the past. But it is one of those subjects that demands revisiting. We are often distracted in life by the things that should not distract us, and yet here we are. So, what does it take to get us to the point where we are not distracted? Is that even possible? For me, it seems it will always be a work in progress, and I am okay with that for now. Perhaps that is another whole lesson. It is beneficial to be okay with the now. It may in fact be how we are to be by design. When I think of the work of the Messiah, He was always in the moment, trusting in TAH to have Him in the right place in that moment. He actually spoke of this.

Matthew 6:34 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.

If we can remember that there are moments and that we can stay in the moment, we can impact that moment. Then just do it again.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are my King. Praise the name YAH! Praise the name YAHUAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here, on earth as it is in heaven. Send me now Your provision. Forgive me my trespasses and transgressions, and I forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me YAH. I love You. I love You. Keep me from temptations YAH. Deliver me from the evil here and the evil plans men have for me. I love You. Your’s is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever O King. Send in the coins as You have declared I call to the coins, Come!” I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

My Path Unto The King

In my attempts to serve YAH over the many. years, I have had both success and failure. I have tried to learn from all of these things. Can we prevail in a time of war? Yes, if YAH is on our side. Maybe it is better put to say, if we are on YAH’s side. Whichever the case, we have a chance for victory, and that is best with YAH. I am beyond happy, truly blessed, as I sit thinking of all His works toward me. There are the dark sayings of old that He reveals.

Psalms 78:1 Give ear, O my people, to my law:
Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
2 I will open my mouth in a parable:
I will utter dark sayings of old:
3 Which we have heard and known,
And our fathers have told us.

We are meant to know these ways, I believe. In them lies the mercy and forgiveness of YAH, and His salvation. That is the very best place to be.

Psalms 32:1 Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven,
Whose sin is covered.
2 Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity,
And in whose spirit there is no guile.
3 When I kept silence, my bones waxed old
Through my roaring all the day long.
4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me:
My moisture is turned into the drought of summer.
Selah.
5 I acknowledged my sin unto thee,
And mine iniquity have I not hid.
I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD;
And thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin.
Selah.
6 For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found:
Surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.
7 Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble;
Thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance.
Selah.
8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go:
I will guide thee with mine eye.
9 Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding:
Whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.
10 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked:
But he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.
11 Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous:
And shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are my King. Praise the name YAH! Praise the name YAHUAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here as it is in heaven. Send me now Your provision. Forgive me my trespasses and transgressions, and help me to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me YAH. I love You. I forgive them YAH. They did not know what they were doing, just as I was at times so were they. Forgive us YAH. We need Your mercy and to understand Your way. I need You and love You. Your have my heart YAH. You have my heart. Let the blessings continue to flow my King. Let the coins flow. I ask all these things of You Father King. Keep me from temptations YAH. Deliver me from the evil here and the evil plans men have for me. Let this be the day of the destruction of the plans O my King. Destroy them today. I love You. You alone can do these things. I love You. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Carry The Day

This phrase, “Carry the day.” is one often used to describe a strategy or approach that is a winner, at least that day. I am quoting it here because I believe that each of us is given what we need for that day. That is why Yeshuah taught us to ask for what was needed that day. I also think that YAH communicates with each of us in an attempt to give us our mission in life and to lead us through our mission. I am at that point. I am aware of something that is imminent for me to know and to do. It makes me excited and yet at the same time, I am a bit weary. It is a tough load to carry for sure. But it is only as tough as we let it be. We can lighten our own load by embracing it. I guess that is where I am really at these days.

Psalm 105:1 O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name:
Make known his deeds among the people.
2 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him:
Talk ye of all his wondrous works.
3 Glory ye in his holy name:
Let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.
4 Seek the LORD, and his strength:
Seek his face evermore.
5 Remember his marvellous works that he hath done;
His wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
6 O ye seed of Abraham his servant,
Ye children of Jacob his chosen.
7 He is the LORD our God:
His judgments are in all the earth.
8 He hath remembered his covenant for ever,
The word which he commanded to a thousand generations.
9 Which covenant he made with Abraham,
And his oath unto Isaac;
10 And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law,
And to Israel for an everlasting covenant:
11 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan,
The lot of your inheritance:
12 When they were but a few men in number;
Yea, very few, and strangers in it.
13 When they went from one nation to another,
From one kingdom to another people;
14 He suffered no man to do them wrong:
Yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;
15 Saying, Touch not mine anointed,
And do my prophets no harm.

37 He brought them forth also with silver and gold:
And there was not one feeble person among their tribes.
38 Egypt was glad when they departed:
For the fear of them fell upon them.
39 He spread a cloud for a covering;
And fire to give light in the night.
40 The people asked, and he brought quails,
And satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
41 He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out;
They ran in the dry places like a river.
42 For he remembered his holy promise,
And Abraham his servant.
43 And he brought forth his people with joy,
And his chosen with gladness:
44And gave them the lands of the heathen:
And they inherited the labour of the people;
45That they might observe his statutes,
And keep his laws.
Praise ye the LORD.

This time is upon us. We are pursuing the path of the Living God!

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Praise the name YAHUAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here, on earth as it is in heaven. Send me now Your provision. Forgive me my trespasses and transgressions, and I forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me YAH. You are King and I seek their forgiveness from You as well. Keep me from temptations YAH. Deliver me from the evil here. I destroy by my words and speaking the very evil that is planned. I comes to nothing YAH. The whirlwinds consume it and make it unbearable to those that carry it. I proclaim this and ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Making The Shift

How often does it happen? In life, how many times do we get a significant shot at a do over? No many I suggest. I am coming up on one such event in my life now. If all goes according to plan, I will be free of many years of “baggage” that has been that unknown weight on my shoulders. If you are in this situation, you know what I mean. That junk you have held onto for so may years that has no value. But what if everything was clean and orderly? I am about to find that out. I look forward to serving YAH with a much cleaner slate.

Hebrews 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2 looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Not all clutter is sin (transgressions the Law), but the constant clutter does seem to be a distraction.

Consider making the shift.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone, yes, You alone are my King. Praise the name YAH! Praise the name YAHUAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here, on earth as it is in heaven. Send me now Your provision. Forgive me my trespasses and transgressions, and help me to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me YAH. I forgive them YAH. Keep me from temptations here. Deliver me from the evil and the evil plans men have for me. I love You. It’s Your kingdom and power and glory YAH. You can change all. Send in the coins. Send in the healing power. Send in the shalom. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Keeping Moving

Perhaps one of the most important actions we as believers can undertake is to just keep moving. If we keep moving, we have a chance to create change. We were always meant to tend to the planet. These days we have to determine if we are still “in” on our assignment or will we be distracted by our circumstances. I cannot speak for you, my reader, but I can and I must speak for me. Although I do get distracted often, more often than I want to let myself be distracted, I want to stay the course. I want to be the one that stays on the path that YAH has provided to me. If I can do that, then I am executing His strategy, which I know is a perfect strategy. And I love Him. For me it helps to take time to write here everyday. By taking this time to journal, I push away the other thoughts and focus on YAH. Life is good!

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.
7 For my mouth shall speak truth;
And wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness;
There is nothing froward or perverse in them.
9 They are all plain to him that understandeth,
And right to them that find knowledge.
10 Receive my instruction, and not silver;
And knowledge rather than choice gold.
11 For wisdom is better than rubies;
And all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
12 I wisdom dwell with prudence,
And find out knowledge of witty inventions.
13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil:
Pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way,
And the froward mouth, do I hate.
14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom:
I am understanding; I have strength.
15 By me kings reign,
And princes decree justice.
16 By me princes rule,
And nobles, even all the judges of the earth.
17 I love them that love me;
And those that seek me early shall find me.
18 Riches and honour are with me;
Yea, durable riches and righteousness.
19 My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold;
And my revenue than choice silver.
20 I lead in the way of righteousness,
In the midst of the paths of judgment:
21 That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance;
And I will fill their treasures.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are my King. Praise the name YAH! Praise the name YAHUAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here, on earth as it is in heaven. Send me now Your provision. Forgive me my trespasses and transgressions, and I forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me YAH. I love You. I love You. I love You. Keep me from temptations YAH. Deliver me from the evil here and the evil plans men have for me. I love You. I love You. I love You. Thank You for the path that is leading me to shalom, and healing and prosperity YAH. I love You. Thank You. I ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Tired And Content

This morning I found myself asking myself what I was feeling. Tired, yes, but what was the rest roof it? The rest of it was more challenging. It is unclear, at times, just what emotions I do feel. It seems obvious that a person should be happy after the age of retirement. But I question the concept of “happy” because it can be so fleeting. Maybe “happy” and other emotions are meant to guide us somehow. A much better word for me is “content” because so far, no matter my situation, I can choose it. I can choose to “let go” of certain emotions. This seems like an unusual scenario to me, this idea of releasing something. What if these ideas are actually literal? Can we hold on to certain things, perhaps even pursue them and “capture” them with our emotions, and then let go of other things? Perhaps Paul was thinking of these ideas himself.

Philippians 4:11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
12 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Perhaps Paul had learned how to hold on and how to let go.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Price the name YAHUAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here, on earth as it is in heaven. Send me now Your provision. Forgive me my trespasses and transgressions, and I forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me YAH. I love You. I love You. I love You. Thank You YAH that You have released the whirlwind spirits to bring unto me the many blessings YAH. I love You. Please teach me to sing and to make melodies to You. I declare the salvation from these things complete. Keep me from temptations YAH and deliver me from the evil here. Destroy their works O my King. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah. HaMashiach. Amen.

Changing Perspective

What you see depends on where you stand. This is a concept I regularly taught as a trainer to industry for many many years. We make decisions based on what we “see” to be the facts at hand. This of course seems reasonable. We would not want to make our decisions in a vacuum. But what do we do on this occasions when the circumstances seem foreign to our expectations?

My initial reactions years ago was really assumption built upon assumption. And each of those decisions crafted yet another fact that I placed into the pattern that I was building in my mind. And all of that created a functional world in which I lived. And that is where I was standing. But if we take a moment and look at what I just wrote, we will see that that world was one of my own creation. And many layers were built from and upon assumption, and I lived inside the end result for most of my life. Even now, as I unpack this past, I am realizing more and more that I create the world in which I live. And as I realize this, I realize that knowing that fact should alter my reasoning position for taking in and interpreting data. We are creators of this world.

Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

My point is this. If you or I find ourselves in a scenario that we believe needs to be different, we need only submit to YAH for His will and guidance, and then in our minds change our perspectives and create a different view. Then we can live into that view.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Praise the name YAHUAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here, on earth as it is in heaven. Send me now Your provision. Forgive me my trespasses and transgressions YAH, and I forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me YAH. I forgive them. And I love You. I love You YAH. Keep me in Your ways, YAH. Keep me in Your ways. I love You. I love You. I love You. Send to me the power to heal and the power to proclaim and the power to create prosperity my King. I command the whirlwinds blow today and create great wealth and healing all around me and for me. Let it be so today YAH. I love You. I love You. I love You. Thank You King. Help me too provide for those around me. Let it begin with 1.1 million. I love You. I love You. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

In The Face

There comes a moment, that final moment, just before one faces off with the giant. At that moment many things can come to mind. Sitting here thinking of such a moment now upon me, I choose to reflect upomn David. He trusted only in what He had learned from YAH in tending to the sheep. And yet, He had confidence in YAH, not himself. He trusted that YAH would guide him in what to do and how to do it. As we stand in the face of such challenges, we must each decide what YAH is saying to us. Upon hearing, we must do it. Shema. In the end, it is all about what YAH is doing and not about what any person is doing.

1 Samuel 17:40 And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in a shepherd’s bag which he had, even in a scrip; and his sling was in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine.
41 And the Philistine came on and drew near unto David; and the man that bare the shield went before him.
42 And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him: for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and of a fair countenance.
43 And the Philistine said unto David, Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
44 And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh unto the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field.
45 Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.
46 This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.
47 And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD’s, and he will give you into our hands.
48 And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hasted, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.
49 And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth.
50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.
51 Therefore David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they fled.

Prayer
