Spread The Words

The words offer Messiah are precious, because He is the Father and the Son in One. If you ask me to explain that to you in a simple English set of words, I cannot. I struggle to understand the nature of who YAH is. How can the pot say anything to the potter? We are at best a finite subset of the things that are YAH. He must appear infinite to us because being only a subset we have no access to all. So we are the ones that get to learn and understand as much as we can about who He is and what He has for us to do. If we stay within His guidelines, life seems much easier. If we try to make up our own guidelines, life is much harder. In fact, for me personally, that is when it failed to work. So, for me, today on this Sabbath, it is my plan to consider what He has for me to do, and do that; to say and say that, so the world continues on a path to being reunited with YAH.

Romans 9:30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.
31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;
33 as it is written,
Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence:
And whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

Today I will speak the words of my Master and my King.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are my King. I praise the name YAH! I praise Your nema 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. Let it overflow. Let it overflow. O my King, let it overflow. 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, and from the evil plans that men have for me. Keep me in Your ways, O my King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here, for this is Your place and power and glory. I ask all these things oof You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah Hamashiach. Amen.

Getting Ready

Today I speak to a group of people about how to make their story into a movie. I have to prepare myself for that presentation. Sitting here thinking of my work I realize that the same is true for living with YAH. I have to prepare myself for such an event. I have to prepare myself for the Sabbath, and I use the Sabbath to prepare myself for the next week of life. We must prepare ourselves when we have the chance to prepare ourselves. The Sabbath is a day of rest, which prepares us for the rest of the week.

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

Closer Means Closer

This morning as I was considering this as the Sabbath, I thought about the call we each have on our lives. When I find myself thinking about others and how they are doing – or not – with their calling toward YAH, I am encouraged by the Spirit to focus on me. Yah calls me to be the best me I can be. He does not call me to make others be a certain way. That is between them and YAH. Actually, I have plenty to do just focusing on me. I have a responsibility for me to YAH. Maybe a bigger problem is if I spend time focusing on others and talking about others, I am not working on me. And frankly, I need the work. Closer to God and His people means closer to God. Anything else is some level of distraction for sure. This is what I am doing this Sabbath – thinking about me and how I can be a better me, walking closer to YAH.

James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
11 Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.
12 There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are my King. I praise You name YAH. I 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 for give those that have trespassed or transgressed against me. Deliver me from the evil here. Deliver me from the evil plans men have for me. Destroy their plans and the works of their hands. Keep me from temptations YAH. This is Your kingdom and power and glory. Reign. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Resting And Thinking

Some days on the Sabbath I do well with resting. Other times I can find myself thinking too much about what it is I intend to be doing with my life, with this or with that – and I just lose my sense of rest. It is in these times that I find myself too absorbed in “the realities” of the life around me. I need to find other ways to escape those thoughts. I need to take control to be at rest. And this is my point. Rest does not, in my view, mean no effort. Rest in fact means a decided effort to wrestle to the ground the part of me that is distracted. This can be easy or it can seem difficult. In either case, it is important for me to do it, to just take hold and surrender to YAH.

Psalms 24:1 The earth is the LORD’s, and the fulness thereof;
The world, and they that dwell therein.
2 For he hath founded it upon the seas,
And established it upon the floods.
3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD?
Or who shall stand in his holy place?
4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart;
Who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
5 He shall receive the blessing from the LORD,
And righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6 This is the generation of them that seek him,
That seek thy face, O Jacob.
Selah.
7 Lift up your heads, O ye gates;
And be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; And the King of glory shall come in.
8 Who is this King of glory?
The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors;
And the King of glory shall come in.
10 Who is this King of glory?
The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory.
Selah.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are may 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 trans dressed against me. I need You now. Deliver me from the evil here ands from the evil plans that men have for me. Keep me in Your ways O King. I love You. Keep me from temptations. I love You. I love You. I ask all these things of You Father King sin the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Sabbath Freedom

The first thought that came to my mind this morning as I thought about the Sabbath was freedom. I find that quite interesting. It is interesting to me because there tens to be a fairly legalistic approach to life on the Sabbath by those that keep it, or so is my experience. but like all things, perhaps there is something to this that YAH wants me to see. I can see one freedom immediately. Freedom from the bondage of this reality if we can adhere to the teachings of YAH, one of which is the Sabbath. Thinking of the Red Sea, I remember what Moses said to the people regarding their pursuers the Egyptians.

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. 14The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.

So YAH drowned what was considered to be the strength of the Egyptians, namely their army, covering them and their chariots and horses with water. And that was after He got them on the sea bed and made the wheels fall of the chariots.

Today, I choose to think of the freedom provided by YAH in His patterns of resonance in the earth.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are King. You are my King. I praise the name YAHUAH. 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 overwhelming provision that I might overflow to those in need. 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. Deliver me from the evil pans that men have for me. Keep me from the temptations that would lead me from You. This is Your kingdom and power and the glory is all Yours. Show Yourself strong on my behalf O King. Let there be a flood of prosperity and shalom and healing power overflow me. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

The Ox And The Ditch

So many times I have heard discussions about what is okay and not okay to do on the Sabbath. It reminds me of the time Yeshuah was challenged for His healing the cripple woman on the Sabbath.

Luke 13:10 And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.
11 And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself.
12 And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.
13 And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
14 And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.
15 The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?
16 And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?
17 And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.

Yeshuah made it very clear that we are to seek YAH plainly. YAH places life as an important part of the pattern we are to follow. It is important to remember that YAH is all about saving people, not days. The days, including the Sabbath, were mad for man, not man for the Sabbath.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You are my King. You alone are my King. And I praise the name YAHUAH! I praise the name YAHUAH! In the name YAHUAH I proclaim shalom on my land. 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 transgression, and help me to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me. Deliver me from the evil here, and the evil plans men have for me. I ask a blessing on the work of my hands that those around me might be blessed. Help my friends in India to proclaim Your mighty name and the truth. Heal those they touch and show them Your ways. Show Yourself glorious by lifting me up and helping me to help those in need YAH. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Simple Is Good For Me

Keeping it simple and real today is good for me. Today is the Sabbath and what I do today is in honor of YAH and the day set apart. I have come to know that YAH always has a plan, even when I may not be aware of it. Today I want to encourage all readers to bask in the presence of YAH and enjoy serving and worshiping Him. I am and I will.

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. I exalt You. You alone are my King. I praise the name YAH at all times, for He is good and merciful. Let Your kingdom come here YAH on earth as it is in heaven, with Your will. Send me now Your provision, in power and might. Forgive me my transgressions, and help me to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me. Deliver me in power, from the evil here waiting to devour. Keep me from temptations, YAH. Show Yourself strong on my behalf that all men might know that You alone are King. I love You and praise Your name. I ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Choosing Hope

Each of us has many choices as believers. One of those is hope. Hope means an expectation, and anticipation. It is important to remember that when we think about our future. What has YAH said to us? That is what we can anticipate will happen. We need to keep our mind set on YAH and who He is and what He has said. This is what matters most. It is believing in what YAH has said that is the underpinning for the expectation.

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.
3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

Choose.

I choose hope.

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, abundant. Forgive me my trespasses and transgressions, and help me to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Deliver me from the evil here. Raise me up YAH. I need You now. Show Yourself strong on my behalf that all men might know that You alone are King. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Daylight Comes

Alive and awake this morning I welcome the dawn of the Sabbath. It seems good to me to be with YAH. Last night I had many dreams, awakening from each of them and thinking about their meaning. This morning they are a vague and fleeting memory. I find myself just happy to be here to serve YAH. I can think of no other purpose for this existence than to be with YAH. It is enough to be with Him. It seems to me that I have had some profound thoughts and ideas recently. They center around operating for YAH at all times. This seems like a good thing as I ponder it this Sabbath morning. I love YAH.

Psalms 103 A Psalm of David.
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.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are my King. I seek Your face YAH. I long to understand and walk with You YAH. Praise Your holy 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, Daddy, that I might overflow to those around me, and all that I owe be covered. Forgive me my trespasses and transgressions, and help me to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me. Deliver me from the evil plans that men and demons have for me. You are King and they are not. You alone rule and they do not. Lead me away from all temptations YAH. It is Your kingdom, power and glory that reigns in the earth and in my heart. O my King, I love You. O my King, I need You. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Resting Phase

We are designed to have any number of resting phases. The first is each day ends with night when we sleep. Each week ends with the Sabbath, when we rest with YAH. Each year ends with the spring equinox. And life ends with a last breath, then we are with YAH. Paul comments on this.

2 Corinthians 5:6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
7 (for we walk by faith, not by sight:) 8we are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

While we are here, we are meant to pursue Him with our whole heart and mind and body that we are prepared to see Him and be like Him.

Prayer
Father I exalt You. You. alone are my King. Praise Your name O Yahuah. Praise eYou YAH. Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here, on earth 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. Deliver us from temptation. Keep us YAH. Keep us YAH>. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.
