Resting The Being

It is important for us as humans to understand the need for rest. It is not often these days that I make what I refer to as absolute statements, but this is one of those exceptions. We were built that way. How do I know? Well, how were we built?

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.

So we were made after the pattern of YAH. So whatever YAH does, it is likely we are meant to do that, right? So we should ask, what has YAH done with regard to rest?

Genesis 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

So we can see that we were created in a pattern of one that rests. To be like Him, we must rest.

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 as it is in heaven. Send me now Your provision. Forgive me my trespasses and transgressions, and help me to forgive those that trespass against me. Keep me from temptations YAH. Deliver me from the evil here and the evil plans men have for me. I love You. I trust You. This is Your place. Show yourself glorious YAH. I love You.We ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Ah, To Rest

Longing for the rest that is to come. I love the Father, my Father, YAHUAH. Just a quick scripture.

Genesis 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

Praise YAH!

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are King! 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. Keep me from temptations YAH. Deliver me from the evil here and from the evil plans men have for me. I love You YAHUAH, my King. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Father Of Lights

Although I thought I had already written this, I discovered that I did not and I am attempting to back track and fix it now.

In scripture we are told that every good gift is from YAH. As I was sharing this in the morning in my E3 Outreach on FaceBook, I realized something that I want to memorialize here.

James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
20 for the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
24 for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

YAH is the Father of lights. I always “ran” past this scripture before. If He is our Father and the Father of lights, are we not light? And “hearers only” refers to the word of God. So if I am a “hearer”, does that not mean that it is audible and not written? The word for “word” here is logos, which actually means something spoken including the thought. the Bible is scripture, not the word of God. Equally interesting here is the word for “doers” means poet. After thinking on this more it does explain why both poetry and songs move people. They are meant to move people. They are meant to be oral and heard.

Shabbat Shalom.

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 that I might cast it upon the waters. I love You. Forgive me my trespasses and transgressions, and help me to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me YAH. Keep me from the temptations here. Deliver me from the evil and the evil plans men have for me. I love You. I love You. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Family Time

Family time is important. There is our blood, our biological family. Then there is our spiritual family. On a Sabbath, I like to remember how important it is for us to spend time with them. They need us and our input in life. May we never forget that.

Leviticus 23:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts.
3 Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King! Praise the name YAHUAH! Praise the name YAH! 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. Keep me from temptations YAH. Deliver me from the evil here and confound the plans for evil that men have for me. I Leo You, YAH. I love You. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

No Fear

Today on the Sabbath I want to acknowledge everyone that may be facing challenges because of the “pandemic” and the “vaccine”. There is so much chatter out there on these two subjects, it gets a little bit crazy. The most important response we can have, in my opinion, is to seek YAH. He alone can keep us safe from harm. He alone can bring us back from harm. It seems the governments of the world a very determined to take certain actions. what can we do? Call out to YAH! He alone can always save us.

Psalms 34
א Aleph
1 I will bless the LORD at all times:
His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
ב Bet
2 My soul shall make her boast in the LORD:
The humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.
ג Gimel
3 O magnify the LORD with me,
And let us exalt his name together.
ד Dalet
4 I sought the LORD, and he heard me,
And delivered me from all my fears.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are my King. Praise the name YAH! Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here, on earth as it sin 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. Deliver me from the evil here, Keep me from transgressions. Deliver me from the plans of evil that men have for me. I ask all these things of You Father King, in thee name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Change Of Heart

The Sabbath is a great day to have a change of heart. It is a great time for us to be alive. We may have to battle for the state of our mind, but we will win that battle if we choose to speak what YAH has said. When we say what He has said, we cleanse ourselves and the world. It is how we overcome what is around us. It is how we overcome fear and unbelief. I know when I have these moments, I speak to and about YAH, and say His truth, forcing my mind to focus on Him.

Joshua 1:8 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.

Yeshuah also uses this approach for us.

Ephesians 5:26 that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
27 that he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

It is a good thing to change our hearts to be more like 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. Help me to know Your ways YAH. Help me to know Your ways. Forgive me my trespasses and transgressions, and help me to forgive those that trespass or transgress against me YAH. I want to be like You. My heart longs to be like You. Keep me from temptations, YAH. Deliver me from the evil here, and from the evil plans men have for me. I love You. I ask all these things of You Father King, sin the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

What Greater Comfort

So much goes on in life. We get to choose how we will respond to the world around us. That choice comes from within, really. And it is within us that we have our relationship with YAH our King. He is with us at all times in all situations. This morning I take a great comfort in knowing this, and especially in knowing Him. May YAH always comfort You.

Psalms 1:1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners,
Nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD;
And in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
That bringeth forth his fruit in his season;
His leaf also shall not wither;
And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. I declare You King. I praise the name YAH! 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. Father, they do not understand. Keep me from temptations YAH. Deliver me from evil here and from the evil plans men have for me, O my King. YAH I love You. Send in quickly the silver mountain and the glassy pools. Let the silver coins and gold bars flow. I love You. You alone are King YAH. You alone are King. I ask all these things of You YAH, my father and my King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Missing Moments

We have a limited amount of “now” and we do not know what that limit is. Yet, if we allow ourselves, we can enjoy each one. On the Sabbath, it is good to enjoy the “now” with YAH as much as we can. It can be difficult to relax, to rest and just listen, but it is very good for us. We can establish connection in a restful way. YAH has established this from the beginning.

Genesis 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are my King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here, on earth as it is in heaven. Send me now Your abundant blessing and provision. Forgive me my trespasses and transgressions, and help me to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me. I love You. Keep me from temptation and deliver me from the evil here. Deliver me from the evil plans that men have for me. O my King. I praise the name YAH! Restore to me sevenfold all that has been taken YAH. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Simple Rest Today

Today I am enjoying the simplicity of resting and knowing that YAH loves me. It feels good to not have to always wonder where I am at in the world of things. Today, I am excited to hear that My God is still King! Praise YAH! And here is a scripture that is good today.

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, I exalt You. You alone are my King. Praise the name YAH! 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 for give those that have trespassed or transgressed against me. Deliver me from the evil here and the evil plans men have for me. Keep me from temptations YAH. Send to me the silver coins You have shown me. I love You. I love You. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Resting But Learning

A question arises for me from time to time about the Sabbath, and what is “permitted” activity for the day. Perhaps just starting with that as the conversation is a good indicator that something is not right. That “something not right” in this case for me is my thinking, I suggest. I am better trying to understand what I am feeling about this. It is like, if I am looking for permission, then it is more of a have to rather than a get to. It seems to me that my relationship with YAH would be better served as a get to type of relationship. And it takes a mindset change to get there. For this reason, one thing I see the Sabbath as good for me is a time of learning and studying. If I am working in my. mind on making it better, to me, that is a big part of the Sabbath. Acknowledging YAH and becoming a better person. But, let me just say, I could be incorrect. Like You, I am just trying to find my way.

Genesis 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

I like to read this scripture when I think on this particular idea about the Sabbath because it is simple, and pure, and the first of its kind. Cool.

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 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. Deliver me from the evil here. Keep me from temptations YAH! I need You! Restore unto me sevenfold all that has been taken or held back in any way from me, O King. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.
