It Already Is Okay

Many times I have been the recipient and the giver of the phrase, “It will be okay.” This morning as I consider this phrase I have come to realize, it already is okay. It already is okay because our Father already set things in place for it to be okay.

Isaiah 46:9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,
10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

God is on our side. He already set up the good ending for us. It is for us to do our part, praying and being patient.

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.

If we are willing to believe that God is on our side, we can know that He has already established the ending and it will be good for us.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here. 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. We love You. We love You. We love You. We love You. So we sing to You, Father. We seek Your face, and to know Your grace, and Your favor. Let Your healing flow through me. Let Your prosperity flow through me. You alone are worthy to be praised. You alone are worthy of glory. You alone are King. Let Your kingdom reign in us. Let Your kingdom reign through us. You are King and we love You. We ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen and Amen and Amen.

Yom Shabbat, Shevat 8, 6004 – January 4, 2020

Open Search

Sometimes a congregation of believers must take the time to determine what it is that they will do as they grow larger. It is not an easy thing to gather a group of people together to determine “how we are to be when we gather”. If it is approached with honesty and sincerity, then there is a chance that we can find our way. It is a very good thing to consider on the Sabbath, because the Sabbath is a set apart day. It is a day when we set the routine aside, and rest with Him.

Isaiah 58:13 If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:
14 Then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.

Seeking our Father to find out how we might move in His gifts is a real application of setting other things aside.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King! Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here. Let Your will be done here on earth as it is in heaven. Send us now Your provision. Deliver us from the evil here. 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. This is Your kingdom and the power and glory are Yours. Show Yourself strong on our behalf, Father. Restore the blessings of health and prosperity to Your people. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Yom Shishi, Shevat 7, 6004 – January 3, 2020

Answer The Call

Thinking about life until now, I realize that I have many good traits. And I realize I have a great number of things to work on that are not so good. As I consider my response to moving forward and essentially taking on a position of leadership, one that will make me stand out from the crowd, I realize this is a challenge for me. In the end, we will only be happy doing what we are called to do. The entire story of Jonah is about an individual resisting his calling and the misfortune he had as a result. But here is an encouraging scripture that I think about when it is time for me to take that step.

Romans 11:29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.

So, if like me, there is a certain concern about responding to a call on your life, do it anyway. It is God who calls, not man.

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 that it might overflow, overflow. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Lead us away from temptations. Deliver us from the evil here, and the evil that men do. Confound the works and efforts of those against me, and let them turn on themselves. Send in now the pallets promised Father, and the mounds of prosperity. Heap up wealth that we might serve You and the poor, widow, and fatherless. Rise up King. Rise up King. Rise up King. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Yom Chamishi, Shevat 6, 6004 – January 2, 2020

My Little Corner…

Growing up there was a phrase used to reference where someone was from in a way that could be used either positively or negatively. I will use it in a positive way here. I am sitting in my office. My desk is “L” shaped and backed into a corner. At the point of the “L” is a window with blinds. That window faces east, and it is early enough on this winter morning for me to not have the sun yet. Here on the second floor, when the sun is out, I look into the forest that is my back yard. This is my little corner of the world. That is the phrase. Little corner of the world can be used to demean someone, or in my case, refer to a blessing. I am feeling very blessed this morning to have this space.

Psalms 118:1 O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever.
2 Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
3 Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
4 Let them now that fear the Lord say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
5 I called upon the Lord in distress: the Lord answered me, and set me in a large place.

This scripture is interesting to me on a literal level. I foresee a time when I will literally be operating my business from a studio. It will be a room likely as large as the entire upstairs of this house. For now, I begin with humble beginnings.

Thank You, Father, for my little corner of the world!

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. 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 provision. Let it overflow to those we know and do not know, especially the widows and the orphans. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. We all need Your mercy, Father, to go on. Lead us away from temptations. Deliver us from the evil here. Deliver us from the evil that men would do. Confound their thoughts and speaking such that their evil, when turned to me reverses and turns to them. Send in now Prosperity. We ask all these things of You Father, our King, and we ask in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Yom R’vi’i, Shevat 5, 6004 – January 1, 2020

Eyes Up! Guard Up!

It is easy to become “lulled to sleep” while on guard duty, waiting for the spiritual confrontations, or enjoying a moment with others. Our senses can become accustomed to the inputs from around us. In essence, if we accept inputs as what the enemy wants us to see them as, then we will accept all that comes with it, eventually. This is yet another reason why we must be vigilant to see as God sees that world. If we lift up our eyes to Him, He will teach us what we need to see.

Psalms 121 A Song of degrees.
1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
2 My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.
3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.
6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
7 The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
8 The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

When we lift our eyes to Him, we see that He is in charge. He keeps us safe at all times.

Lift up Your eyes!

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King! Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here in the hearts, minds and bodies of Your people. Let Your will be done here, on earth as it is in heaven. Send us now Your provision. Let it be great that it might overflow to those around us in need. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, for they are many and we are frail. Help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Keep us from temptations, and deliver us from the evil here. Deliver me from the evil that men would do. Confound their actions, thoughts and memories. Let their systems be confused. Send Your angels with a special delivery upon delivery of substance, healing, and prosperity. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Yom Shlishi, Shevat 4, 6004 – December 31, 2019

New?

Yes, this is an interesting time for us as humans. We consider ourselves to be independent beings. But are we? Is it possible that we have as a people group accepted certain realities, or better said, certain parameters as reality. But are they really? To that end I want to suggest a reread of the first chapter of the first book of the bible. Specifically about everything that would have to do with time.

Genesis 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.
14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

Three days of evening and morning passed before there were any lights in the sky. Yet, we think that the sun and the moon have something to do with time. We define time as it relates to people on earth and the cycles around the sun. But light and dark were first ruled without the sun and moon. All this is said here just to get us to think and not automatically accept what has been told to us the way it has been told.

Yes, the sun and moon are there to help us understand a certain pattern of time. Perhaps this deserves more consideration by us all.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You aloe 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 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 and lead us away from temptation. Cause prosperity to flow. Release Your angels to release our blessings. We ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Yom Sheni, Shevat 3, 6004 – December 30, 2019

Courage For The Future

We need to take courage for the future. By that I mean if we want something different, it has to be different on purpose. If you want a different future from what your past would predict, then it is time for a few changes. There is one that is very important, aside from the most important one of following God by repentance and accepting the Messiah.

Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Change your mind, with me, and change your future.

Be courageous!

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, and from the evil that men do. Send in quickly Your prosperity. WE ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Yom Rishon, Shevat 2, 6004 – December 29, 2019

Being Happy

As I write, I am thinking how good it would be if everyone that reads this could just be happy. Many already are just fine. But to those that have a tough time right now, here goes.

Romans 8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Today, if you have been troubled, give yourself permission to look up and remember who it is that has your back.

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 the evil here. For this is Your place, Father, and we need Your grace. Let Your glory shine on us. Restore us and our goods. We ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah Hamashiach. Amen.

Yom Shabbat, Shevat 1, 6004 – December 28, 2019

Simple Sabbath

Keeping it simple for the Sabbath I am posting the Sabbath Psalms. I have done this many times, but it is good for the soul.

Psalms 92 A Psalm or Song for the sabbath day.
1 It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:
2 To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,
3 Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound.
4 For thou, Lord, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
5 O Lord, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.
6 A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.
7 When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever:
8 But thou, Lord, art most high for evermore.
9 For, lo, thine enemies, O Lord, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
10 But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
11 Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me.
12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13 Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;
15 To shew that the Lord is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in 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 temptations. For this is Your place, and we seek Your face, O YAH! Amen.

Yom Shishi, Tevet 30, 6004 – December 27, 2019

Breaking Through!

The subject of breakthrough is popular. I guess that is because so many people have a sense of something missing, right? Interestingly enough, it comes at this time in the widely accepted Gregorian calendar. Perhaps that is a part of the problem. Because of our view of time, we isolate times when we are willing to take action. Perhaps a better strategy is to see when YAH tells us that He is renewing His commitment to help us. After all, it only seems good to have the very Creator of everything on the team. And, He actually suggests at least one place in the scriptures when He is in the business of renewing His assistance.

Lamentations 3:21 This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.
22 It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
24 The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
25 The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.
26 It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord.

Instead of 365 days between breakthroughs, why not everyday?

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King! Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be doe 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, and from the evil that men would do. Confound their thoughts and their ways. Lead us away from temptation. 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. Restore us now. We ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.
