You Are Great At That!

It is a good thing to help each other by building one another up. There are so many opportunities in life these days to be cast down by those around us. Yet, if we try, we can make our way to the front line of those that give hope and promise to those around us. We can be a source of positive input and positive reinforcement in the kingdom for our fellow believers. We can do that by actively looking for something good in the person we are speaking to at the time. Then just say something simple, like, “You are really good at that!” Who knows but if that one word is the one thing that made their day, kept them believing today, kept them moving forward, right?

Scripture also addresses this need to encourage one another. There are examples of how important good words are.

Proverbs 12:25 Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad.

Here the word “glad” means to “brighten up”, but with an intensity. Scriptures also give us at least one path to the delivery of that good word.

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.

So today, encourage someone and build them up. You, too, will have a better day.

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 in need. 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 kingdom within us Father, and around us. Let it be to Your glory. You are our King, Father. You are our King. My God is King. No harm can come near me or near my home for my God is King. Wealth and prosperity, of all things in every way are mine, for my Father has given them to me at the very moment I requested. I curse the enemies that stand in the way and cast them to the ground. I curse the works of evil against me. I speak life, I speak life to the path of the angels sent with goods and substance for me and my family. Let it begin to shower great wealth and great power upon us Father, upon us Father, for You alone are King. Now I know that You alone are King. Show the world, yeah, show the world Father, through us, that You alone have done these things because You alone are King. We ask all these things, of You, Father King Yahuah, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

You Can Stand!

Can you name one sports team in history that ever accomplished anything that did not have a coach? I cannot. This is the reality I am faced with today as I try to think of all that has happened in the last few years and all that is in front of me. We all have these moments and periods of time. And we all need a coach to guide us through it. Or perhaps a better way to say it, a coach accelerates the possibility that we will have greater success. Scriptures seem to support this idea.

Proverbs 11:14 Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.

We all have the same guides as believers.

Proverbs 6:23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

The Law lights up a path for us to walk.

Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Our Messiah is also a counselor to us. So we see there is a pattern of having a counselor, a coach, to help us reach whatever goals we may have. We can make this happen, this great commission we have been given, by turning first to our heavenly Coach, and then adding those that have gone before to the mix.

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 in the hearts and minds and bodies of the people. And let Your will be done here on earth just as it is in heaven. Send us now Your provision, and send provision to all who call upon Your name. 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. Let not the evil that men do overtake us, Father. Keep us from temptation. This is Your place Father, and we are Your people. YAH, I long to hear Your voice everyday, and help others find You. How can I be used more by You, Father. We ask all these things of You Father King. Send us Your blessings of substance and prosperity, of healing and comfort of heart, the blind seeing and the lame walking. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashicah. Amen. Amen. Amen.

Comfort In Context

We have a path to follow. Each of us have a path. And we have a path from our Father in heaven. That path is well defined and laid out. We get to align our uniqueness with that path. We get to come into the resonant pattern with YAH, our Father. His love and compassion is with us. He can make it be something that we are meant to say and do because we first heard it somewhere. Then we say it, hear and do. This is a blessing and a comfort to us. Our Father will always respond.

Psalms 17:5 Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.
6 I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.

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 provision, and let 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. Deliver us from the evil here, and from the hands of evil men. Confound their every work against us. Deliver us from temptations. This is Your kingdom and power and glory, Father. Restore unto Your people every good thing that has been eaten, 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 and Amen. Amen.

Forward With Our Father

We have a Father that continually offers encouragement. He is not condemning. Instead, he is that anxious parent that is annoying to the referees, running to the field shouting, “That’s MY boy!” or “That’s MY girl!” He is constantly saying to us, “YES! YES! Keep going! You got this! You got this!” That is worth continuing to try to move forward with everything we have in us. Guess that is just another reason to spend time with Him today on the Sabbath.

Hebrews 4:4 For he spoke in a certain place of the seventh [day] on this wise, And God-The Father did rest the seventh day from all his works.
5 And in this [place] again, If they shall enter into my rest.
6 Seeing therefore it remains that some must enter in it, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
7 Again, he limits a certain day, saying in David [Beloved], To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if you will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
8 For if Yehoshua [God is Salvation] had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
9 There remains therefore a keeping of a Sabbath to the people of God-The Father. -NMV

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, such that it overflows. 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. Send in quickly the substance and finances that we might promote Your Kingdom here in the hearts and minds and bodies of the people. Restore that which has been taken or held back in any way from Your people, Father, and the more besides. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen. Amen. Amen.

Actions From The Heart

For the most part we act on what we believe. People say and do what is in their heart.

Luke 6:45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.

Essentially we can use our speaking to both make what is in our heart come to pass, as well as change what is in our heart. The heart is the creative energy well.

Proverbs 10:11 The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.

It is therefore important to watch over what we have in it.

Proverbs 4:23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

The good news is it was always in God’s plan to make sure we had a good heart.

Ezekiel 11:19 And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:
20 That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.

This is the new covenant.

Hebrews 10:14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
15 Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,
16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.

We have a path, a way to follow, to creation of good in the earth.

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 and in us as it is in heaven. Send us now Your provision that it might overflow. 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 place. We seek Your kingdom within us, YAH. Yes, we seek Your face. Rise up now, my King. Deliver us from the evil here. Rise up now my King. Send Your hosts of heaven, and bring to pass the blessings of substance, healing, deliverance and financial prosperity that You have provided at our request. Smite the enemies that would reject Your way and power, and try to hold back or steal that which You have sent and provided. Let it be so, even today, Father. We ask all these things of You Father King Yahuah, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen and Amen and Amen.

A Good Day For Thanks

Today is such a great day to give thanks to our Father! He has already established the end from the beginning. He cares for us just because. He is wise because He created wisdom. Father, we love You! Today, let us all find ourselves singing to Him and giving thanks.

Psalms 105:1 O give thanks unto the Lord; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.
2 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works.
3 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord.
4 Seek the Lord, and his strength: seek his face evermore.
5 Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;

We are a people most blessed.

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. We need You now, we need You now. 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. Help us not go after temptations. This is Your, and we thank You for it. 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, the more besides. Send us now the wealth and prosperity to help us promote Your kingdom, Father. We need thousands, and then the thousands of thousands. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen and Amen. Amen.

Speaking Out

Speaking is a process of releasing energy. Yes, there is much more going on when we speak, but the release of energy is clearly playing a role in what we are doing. Scripture tells us many things about this speaking. It can be delivered in a way that has power.

Mark 11:21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.
22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

Interestingly we also receive counsel to not have both good and bad come out of our mouth.

James 3:9 Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
11 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.

Since we have scriptures that show us that people like David prayed and sang about destruction coming to his enemies, we know this must be speaking to more than just saying things that would be bad for them. It seems to be speaking to the issue of evil intent, and that our intent should be good and righteousness. James actually speaks to this later in this same chapter and at various places in his letter.

James 3:13 Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

Let us move forward then learning and understanding all we can about peace that is from YAH – the shalom of God. There appears to be power in our words, good and bad, and the good is destined to win.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. 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 is in heaven. Send us now Your provision that it might 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. Deliver us from the evil here. Deliver us from the hands of evil men. We turn to You to keep Your commandments that You have written in our hearts and minds. We ask You amplify these that we might do them. Sing over us, sing over us, Father YAH. Send us the blessings greater than those before, and place the curses upon our enemies and those that have spoken evil against us and over us. Destroy their words. Like David, in the name of Yahuah I destroy them. Selah. We ask all these things of You Father YAH, our King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen and Amen. Amen.

Today Can Be Different

When people struggle with financial or other life challenges, there is one thing that is helpful to get the momentum moving in the correct direction. That one thing is the determination that this day, today, is different. And this is not just a pep talk or some kind of gloss. Today is really different, according to scripture.

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.

It is important to recall our relationship with our Father. His mercies, His relationship with us, is renewed every morning. We can have this new relationship everyday. And we can make today different from yesterday and the past. We only need reach out to Him and make the necessary changes.

Prayer
Father, we exalt YOU! You alone are our King. You alone have changed the world. You alone have made the world. Praise the name YAH! Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here, Father. Let Your will be done here perfectly just as it is in heaven. Send us now Your provision. Let 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. Deliver us from the evil that men think and say and do toward us. Deliver us from the enemy’s evil plans. Keep us from temptations. This is Your place Father. The kingdom is Yours and the power is Yours and the glory is Yours. Let it reign now Father. Let it reign. We need You now. We need You Father. We love You and we love Your promises. We ask that You bring them to reality today Father. Let them be real today. Let the substance and finances and prosperity and precious metals flow to us today Father. Show Yourself King of all, and that only You can do these things. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Snap Into Place

Yesterday I had some frustrating moments dealing with a device that used the “snap into place” technology to hold various pieces together. Have you ever found yourself particularly upset with inanimate objects? Silly, right? And yet, for me at least, I return to this behavior every once in a while. Odd. Or at least it is, until I stop and think it through.

What is there that we can learn from “snap in place” technology? First, it is a great concept from a manufacturing perspective. If something comes together without fasteners or chemical adhesives, there are fewer parts and less to clean up. Second, it takes time to create the overall product. There is planning, modeling, modifying – all take time and resources. And lastly, how it feels. As I consider my experience from yesterday, the moments that really stand out as “feel goods” are those moments when I got to the part where the “snap” was applied. It just feels right.

That is what prayer and meditation is like for me. They are the inputs from my side. When I spend time with my Father, I try to do what those that have gone before me have done.

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.

It is a learning process, for sure, to take what YAH tells us in prayer and engraft it into our lives.

Philippians 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

And then there is that moment when that snap is created, everything fits, and we just know. It is those moments that serve to remind us of the reality of YAH in our lives and this world.

Joshua 4:18 And it came to pass, when the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the Lord were come up out of the midst of Jordan, and the soles of the priests’ feet were lifted up unto the dry land, that the waters of Jordan returned unto their place, and flowed over all his banks, as they did before.
19 And the people came up out of Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, in the east border of Jericho.
20 And those twelve stones, which they took out of Jordan, did Joshua pitch in Gilgal.
21 And he spake unto the children of Israel, saying, When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean these stones?
22 Then ye shall let your children know, saying, Israel came over this Jordan on dry land.
23 For the Lord your God dried up the waters of Jordan from before you, until ye were passed over, as the Lord your God did to the Red sea, which he dried up from before us, until we were gone over:
24 That all the people of the earth might know the hand of the Lord, that it is mighty: that ye might fear the Lord your God for ever.

So, today, let’s spend time with YAH, and look to that snap.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Yes, 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 the manna overflow to those around us, Father. 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 the temptations that we would not follow other gods. It is Your kingdom, Father, that is in our hearts and minds and bodies. Restore us Father. Restore unto us Your blessings promised, of substance and jewels, and prosperity that all men might know that You alone have done this. We ask all these things of You, Father and King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

YAH Is There

We are so fortunate a people. We always have our Father to turn to and in fact, when we do He comforts us. He comforts us because He is comfort. We can make our way in life because He will comfort us through it. In the end, our life is really His. If we can hear that and see it and adopt that approach to life, we will do better. It is what we need to succeed – Him.

Today, as I write these words, I am faced with challenges from life, like everyone else. The comfort I feel comes when I shut down the “chatter” in my head about tasks and bills and extremes, and just pray and read scriptures. Our Father really wants to spend this time with us always. He loves us.

Psalms 139:14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.

If today brings any disturbance or turmoil to you, stop for a moment and take time to be with our Father. He will comfort You.

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. Let it overflow, my King. For I know, yes I know that Your love toward us is great. I know that You alone are King. I know that I can trust in Your name, Yahuah. You are YAH, the mighty King. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Deliver us from the plans of evil men, YAH. Confound their plans and their documents. Exalt the work of our hands, YAH, that we have done for You. You alone are our King, YAH, and in us Your kingdom lies. We ask for Your wisdom in how to live our lives and promote Your kingdom Father. We need Your relief. We need You to have Your angels deliver what has been released to us. We need that now, Father. Daddy help us. We love You. We ask all these things of You Father, YAH our King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen. Amen. Amen.
