Perseverance As A Weapon

Much is written on the subject of spiritual warfare. The discussion includes prayer in the native tongue, prayer in the Spirit, shouting, singing, etc. But it seems to me that a case can also be made for perseverance. What if we just hang in there, just keep doing that which we are called to do? There is certainly a case to be made for that as well.

Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Let’s just stand.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King! 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 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. Keep us from temptations. This is Your place and Your kingdom. We need You. Send Your angels to deliver Wisdom with her treasures to me. Restore unto Your people all the good that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and the more besides. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Share What You Know

Scriptures tell us we should build one another up.

1 Corinthians 12:7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.

God has given to each person something to share with the rest of us, or at least with those around them. We need to grow into the individuals God wants us to be.

Colossians 1:9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
10 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
11 Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;
12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:

It is good for each of us to share what we know with those around us. By this we each build the other up.

Prayer
Father, we 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 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. Lead us away from temptation. This is Your place, Your kingdom and Your power. Let the blessings flow, Father. Let them flow. Send Your angels to deliver the substance, to release Wisdom to come to us with the treasures appointed. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all that has been stolen or held back in any way of that which is good, and the more besides. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Using God’s Plan

This morning as I woke up many thoughts came to mind. As I tried to think about how to respond, I thought in general about how a day actually goes. Some people like a regular routine. Others like each day to be an adventure. Still others question what are they to actually be doing that would be pleasing to God, and just wait. This morning it occurred to me, there may be an actual plan or pattern laid out in scripture.

Psalms 55:16 As for me, I will call upon God; and the Lord shall save me.
17 Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.

This is just one of the many patterns described in scripture. Why might we want to follow in these patterns? Well, there seems to be a call to have the earth line up with heaven. Yeshuah (Jesus) spoke of this.

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.

We see that we are to pray for what happens on earth to align with God’s will that is in heaven.

Today, I am encouraged to seek after our Father’s patterns, His ways, and follow after them.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here in the hearts and minds and bodies of the people. Let Your will be done here on earth, just as Your will is perfectly done in heaven. Send us now Your provision, and we ask that it 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. Lead us, lead us, lead us away from temptations, and deliver us from the evil here. This is Your place and Your kingdom. The power is Yours. Send us now the pallets promised . Let Wisdom come to me. Let the horses pull the carriage, that it might come to me, and I might ride with Wisdom. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Getting Guidance

It is so comforting to me to know that I can rely on my Father, Creator of heaven and earth, to get me the ability to know what I need to be about doing in my life at any moment. Like right now. And I know this, I can be confident in this being true, because the scriptures tell me this is true.

James 1:2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

This is an amazing promise from our Father. But it is only an amazing comfort if we actually use it.

Use it and be at peace.

Prayer
Father, we 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 us now Your provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Lead us away from the temptations. Deliver us from the evil here. Deliver me, Father, from the evil that men would do to me, and from their evil plans. Confound their plans and ways. Restore the prosperity and the substance that has been taken or held back in any way, and the more besides. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Getting Perspective

So we want to serve God and love our neighbor. A question to ask is, what is our perspective for that service and love? Generally speaking, it is in the Torah, or we have called it, the Law. There is a misunderstanding for most of us about this concept . When we think of law, we think of police, attorneys, courtrooms, and judges. Yes, that is an aspect of what we are to consider. However, Torah is much more than that – it is a story told in five books. When we keep the Sabbath, which we are commanded to do, one purpose is to take time away from the daily routines and learn from God, reflecting on the story.

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.

If we spend time, we purchase a pearl of great price.

Prayer
Father, we 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 us now Your provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Lead us away from temptation, Father. Deliver us from the evil here, and from the evil that men do. Send Your angels to deliver the goods. Thank You for Your story that gives us light. We ask all these things of You Father, our King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Progress Is Moving

Perhaps one of the challenges we as believers face in trying to “make progress” is our view of what that really is. We can, like all humans, have preconceived ideas about what it means to make progress. We tend to think it means “more” of something. But perhaps real progress is about creating certainty within ourselves. It could be a more solid foundation in a belief.

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

If we can get to an unshakable place in our faith about something, we will be much more able to obtain that which we seek. Steadfastness matters.

James 1:6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

It is clear to me that if I want to make progress the important point is this unshakable belief in what YAH has revealed.

Prayer
Father, we 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 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. Keep us from temptations. This is Your place. This is Your power. Send in quickly Your promised prosperity. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Glad For The Kingdom

There is much to be done. If we are to be a part of doing it, then we must be wise. By wise in this case, I mean thankful. Today, I am very thankful that our Father loves us, and me in particular. It makes me thankful to be His child.

Colossians 3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

Prayer
Father, we 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 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. Keep us from temptation. This is Your place. We thank You to be here. We ask that You watch over us.Send in quickly the substance, Father, to promote Your kingdom. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Long Days

Sometimes when we are out there battling, the days get long. We are engaged in doing those things that our Father has requested of us. It can be a struggle to not become grumpy (LOL). In the end, the effort is worth it as we see people’s lives change.

Luke 6:1 Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.
2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.

6 And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.

Sort of makes it all worth while.

Prayer
Father, we 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 us now Your provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Lead us away from temptation, and deliver us from evil. YAH, deliver us from the evil that men do, and confound their plans against me. Send in quickly the substance and healing You have declared, You have declared. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Whom Do We Build

On this day YAH gave me opportunity to build people around the world! Amazing!

1 Peter 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

We never know when we might be used!

Prayer
Father, we 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 us now Your provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Lead us away from temptation. Deliver us from the evil here. Deliver us from the evil that men would do, and confound their plans against me. Let the pallets flow, Father. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Changing Our World

The world is as it is today. Each of us can do something to make it a better place. Perhaps a good first step is to encourage one another. That is what I want to do here. If you are still reading this, know that YAH has a plan for your life and is fully committed to helping it come to pass for you.

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
12 Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.
13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

Today, let’s search for Him with our whole heart.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King! You alone are 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 is in heaven. Send us now Your provisions. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Lead us away from temptation, and deliver us from the evil here. Deliver us from the evil plans that men would do. Confound their plans against me. Restore the healing and prosperity that You have promised from the beginning. We ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.
