God Is Faithful And Merciful

Today as I considered what to write, I was reminded of how our Father has set certain things in motion, and those certain things will come to pass. At the same time, He is always looking to His people to turn to Him in tough times, in times when things go wrong, in times when they have walked away, as well as in the good times. Here is a promise to us about His Spirit and what it will do for us.

Ezekiel 36:25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.
26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.

God brings things to pass. Always. And in this, His mercy endures forever.

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.
5 To him that by wisdom made the heavens: for his mercy endureth for ever.
6 To him that stretched out the earth above the waters: for his mercy endureth for ever.
7 To him that made great lights: for his mercy endureth for ever:
8 The sun to rule by day: for his mercy endureth for ever:
9 The moon and stars to rule by night: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Praise YAH!

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here. Let Your will be done here as absolutely 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. Cleanse us, and we will be cleansed. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold of all the good 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 care for people. 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.

Just Keep Going

It seems most everything in life comes down to choices. One thing we can choose is to keep moving forward, or not. Yes, I suppose this could apply to life itself, but here I mean effort towards goals in front of us. And by goals I mean those things that we believe our Father has placed in front of us to do. Sometimes, it is just good to remember that He loves us and will help us get to the end.

Psalms 106:1 Praise ye the Lord. O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
2 Who can utter the mighty acts of the Lord? who can shew forth all his praise?
3 Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times.
4 Remember me, O Lord, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit me with thy salvation;

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are King! Praise the name YAH! Let Your will be done here as in heaven, and let Your kingdom come here. 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 the good that has been taken or held back in any way from your people, and the more besides. Send in quickly the $424,523,962.53 that we might use it to promote Your kingdom. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We ask all these things in of You, Father, in Your name, YAH. We ask all these things in the name YAH Yeshuah. Amen.

No Matter What

Over the years I have seen people come and go, businesses come and go, families and marriages come and go… you name it. It does seem interesting how as one gets on in years, now matter how we were in the past, we can become very reflective. So it is with me, for various reasons. This reminds me of the writings of Solomon.

Ecclesiastes 1:12 I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
13 And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven: this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith.
14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.

It occurs to me as I consider all these things this morning that, in the end, we have to watch over our own spirit, our own words and deeds. These are enough to work on for a person, it seems, to get things in order while in this life. Again, Solomon seems to say the same.

Ecclesiastes 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come in our hearts, Father. Let Your absolute unshakeable will be done here, as it is in heaven. Send us now 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 transgressed or trespassed against us. Deliver us from the evil here. Wash away all thoughts and memories of evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You and Your love for us. Send in quickly the $424,523,962.53 that we might promote the kingdom into the hearts of men here, including us. Restore unto Your people all the good that has been taken or held back in any way, and much, much 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 YAH Yeshuah. Amen.

Family Matters

At the end of the day, it is family that matters. Like it or not, we all came from one, good or not so good. We have the ability to add to our family through marriage and birthing new children. We can also add to our family by bringing people closer to us in relationship. What might that mean? Caring for those that are not so easy to care about in a positive way. Extending ourselves to others when we would rather just sit down and be quiet. Being willing to take a chance to discuss issues about right and wrong with those we have decided to care about. This sounds very familiar.

John 15:12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.

We can all be family. We must learn to forgive and to love.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom be established here in the hearts of men, like me. Let Your will be done here as it is in 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. Deliver us from the evil here. We need Your restoration, Father. Help us. 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.

A Father’s Love

A friend of mine told me of something that was happening to him recently. He became quite ill and had some swollen glands. Almost immediately he began to wonder if he was dying of cancer. He received prayer from a prophet who revealed his fears to him without being told of them. The interesting part was the immediate thoughts of the cancer. As I pondered his situation, it seemed obvious that the thoughts my friend was getting about this and other things negative are an attack on his peace. We are to combat any attack of our enemy against us. This would be no exception. The more he gets in our head, the more we are distracted from the work we have been given. We must not allow ourselves to be distracted. We must first possess the land of our minds. Apparently this pondering of thoughts is built in and we are to use it for good.

Psalms 19:14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.

We are to use this tool of power, this thought-speech machine, for the good.

Joshua 1:7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.
8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

Our Father gave us a mighty weapon – the power to create. We are in His image, so that really only makes sense. We have the ability to create good or evil. If we chose the good, we chose life. He loves us enough to give us this weapon, and to let us chose.

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 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.Wipe away all thoughts or memories of the evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts or memories of You. Send in quickly the $424,523,962.53 that we might use it to promote Your kingdom, Father, in the hearts of mankind. Restore unto Your people one thousand times all 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 mighty name YAH. We ask all these things in the name of YAH Yeshuah. Amen.

Every Day

Just sitting here I was thinking about how each day is unique. Everyday we get an opportunity to pursue our Father with a passion. We just have to choose to do so. What an amazing life we get to live!

Psalms 113:1 Praise ye the Lord. Praise, O ye servants of the Lord, praise the name of the Lord.
2 Blessed be the name of the Lord from this time forth and for evermore.
3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the Lord’s name is to be praised.
4 The Lord is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.
5 Who is like unto the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high,
6 Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!
7 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;
8 That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.
9 He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the Lord.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King! Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come in men, Father. Let Your will be done here as it is in the earth. 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. Wipe away the thoughts and memories of the evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts or memories of You. Send in the balance quickly of the $424,523,962.53 that we might promote Your kingdom now. 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. We ask all these things of You in the name YAH Yeshuah. Amen.

Freedom Reigns

We have access to the throne room of the King and Creator of the universe. And did I mention, He is also our Father?! This morning as I think through all He has done for us, I cannot help but think that I am truly blessed. Yes, life has its’ challenges. But the point is, our Father is right there, helping us through those challenges. The easiest way to put it is we are in the classroom and lab learning experience of a lifetime – literally. As I talk with others, I hear them say what is also in my heart, the burning desire to do an even better job than what I am currently doing in trying to learn about our Father and His kingdom. The book MUST be true, and I, for one, am on a journey to find out how to live it.

Deuteronomy 28:2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God.
3 Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.
4 Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.
5 Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store.
6 Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
7 The Lord shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.
8 The Lord shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
9 The Lord shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways.
10 And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the Lord; and they shall be afraid of thee.
11 And the Lord shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers to give thee.
12 The Lord shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.
13 And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the Lord thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:

So, I do not have all of the answers. But I do have one answer. God never lies, and He is on our side. That is the good news. His kingdom is within us.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your will be done here, and let Your kingdom come here, as it is in 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 thoughts and memories of evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You. Help us to be able to see in our minds those things that You would have come to pass in this earth, that we might pray and prophesy their coming into existence. Send in quickly the $424,523,962.53 that we might use it to promote Your kingdom. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all the goo that has been taken or held back in any way, and the more besides. Take action today, Father, that all men might see that You alone are YAH! We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We ask all these things in Your name, Father, the name YAH. We ask all these things in the name of YAH Yeshuah. Amen.

Never Alone

We are never alone as believers. Our Father is always with us, always ready to help us. And help us He will.

Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

The writer of Hebrews quotes this scripture.

Hebrews 13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

He does not only not leave us, He does not fail to help us, and He does not forsake us. Those are all characteristics of mankind. He is not like us.

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.

Today, lets remember that we are not alone.

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, as it is in heaven. Send us now Your overwhelming provision that we might overflow to others. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Wipe away the thoughts and memories 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. Send in quickly the $424,523,962.53 that we might promote the kingdom and care for the widows and orphans. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all that has been taken or held back in any way that was good, and the more besides. Rise up, my King, and come to our aid quickly. 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.

Welcome Home

We have strong opportunities in life to reach out to those we love and care about. If we are wise, we will take the time to reach out to them while we can. A significant part of life, maybe the most important part of life, is living it in a manner that is a tribute to our heavenly Father. We can get to that point mostly by stopping to take the time to make it happen. By praying for guidance, listening, hearing, and then doing what we hear, we can get to the point of making a difference and making a stand to be what our Father intended us to be.

Deuteronomy 6:3 Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the Lord God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey.
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.

The word that is translated “hear” in these verses is the Hebrew word, “shama”, which means to hear and do. If we will hear and do the things said to us by our Father, we will be in His will. And this helps us with our lives.

1 John 5:14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

So then, this is the message of the day. Our Father is available to us. He makes a way for us to hear and do His will. He loves us all. We can make a difference, we can be more like Him, we can be a part of ushering in His kingdom here, doing His will.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King! We praise and exalt the name Yahuah! Let Your kingdom come here, and let You will be done here as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily provisions such that they 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. We need Your help very much, Father. Please set things right. Help us all get through. We all need forgiveness. We all need to be on a path that leads us to You. We cannot make it on our own. Please help all those around me that seek You, Father. Meet their needs. Heal their minds and bodies. Deliver us from the evil here. Send in quickly the $424,523,962.53 that the work of Your kingdom might go forth. Restore unto Your people the seventy times seven blessing of all that is good that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and the much more besides. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We ask all these things in Your name, Father, the name YAH. We ask all these things in the name Yah Yeshuah. Amen.

Deliverance From Evil

When we are heading in a wrong direction, we have the means to get ourselves set aright. Wisdom would dictate we take a look at this, if for no other reason than to be certain that we are not running past something that is subtle until we look more closely, then it is not so subtle. What I mean by this is our Father wants us to be looking closely at what He has for us. He wants to commune with us. This subtlety is shown in scripture.

1 Kings 19:11 And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord. And, behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the Lord; but the Lord was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the Lord was not in the earthquake:
12 And after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.
13 And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?

Our Father speaks in a still small voice. He sends things of power before Him, but those acts are not Him. He is looking for us to reach out to Him, spend time with Him, and promote His kingdom as He tells us to do. Just like Elijah went in a direction that seems to have been of his own making, we can do the same. We can also listen, as Elijah did, to hear what YAH is saying to us, and then do those things.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! You are our Strength and our Song! Let Your kingdom come here. Let Your will be done here. Send us now while it is called today Your overwhelming provision. Let us spread Your kingdom with it. 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 memories of evil done to us or by us. Restore life to Your people, Father, and that more abundantly. Restore one thousandfold, and thousands of thousands, all the good that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and the more besides. Deliver us from the evil here. Help us to hear Your words, and to do them. Send in quickly the $424,523,962.53 that we can use it to promote Your kingdom. Only You can make these things happen, YAH. 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.
