Up Side

This morning after receiving a text from a friend talking about having an opportunity come back around that they had missed earlier, something new occurred to me. Today is an answer to a prayer that was prayed in the past. That seems like an obvious thing, but I realized that I had never really thought of it like that. I would likely also add it is the result of blessings and curses that we have brought upon ourselves, mixed in with attacks of the enemy. I am bringing this all up as a result of that text, and something else. I am experiencing what I can only describe as the upside.

Daniel 10:5 Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz:
6 His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.
7 And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great quaking fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves.
8 Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me: for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength.
9 Yet heard I the voice of his words: and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I in a deep sleep on my face, and my face toward the ground.
10 And, behold, an hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands.
11 And he said unto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright: for unto thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling.
12 Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words.
13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.

This is the upside, when YAH sends His messengers and we get to experience the positive responses.

Perhaps if we can come to understand this time between the ask and answer, we can be at peace, knowing we are living on the upside.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Praise the name YAH! Let Your praises be sung by all. Let Your kingdom come here in the hearts and minds and bodies of the people. Let Your will be done here as it is perfectly 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. Help us resist temptation. Restore unto Your people all the substance and prosperity 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 HaMashiak. Amen and Amen. Amen.

Today Thankful

There is always a flurry of activity of some sort, either around us or in our head. We can respond in a positive way to that, or not. What I am thankful for today is the chance to sit here and think about all that has been done for us, and all that we can do to make our lives complete. It is an amazing thing indeed!

Psalms 20:1 The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee;
2 Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;
3 Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah.
4 Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel.
5 We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the Lord fulfil all thy petitions.
6 Now know I that the Lord saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.
7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the Lord our God.
8 They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.
9 Save, Lord: let the king hear us when we call.

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. We love You Father. We need You, for only You have the power and the wisdom we all need. Many thanks to You Father, for restoring Your people. Restore the substance and prosperity that we need, that we need, to promote Your kingdom. We ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen and Amen.

Stand Up, Stand Tall

We need to find a way to remind ourselves to stand up when we are downtrodden. Maybe we cannot fight that one more thing, but we can stand. YAH will fight for us, and has already dictated the outcome.

Isaiah 55:6 Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

We will win because we already have won.

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 overwhelming 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. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all the good that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people. We ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen and Amen and Amen.

Keep Believing

We need to understand that we have been given an amazing gift from our Father. We have been given abundant life!

John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

Abundant life is not things, or not just things at least. Abundance in the heart of the love of YAH is the abundance.

We must keep believing and striving for that abundance in the heart. It is the only way to the fullness of joy and life that Yeshuah has promised.

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 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 evil and from temptation. Let Your kingdom reign, YAH, let it reign. We ask all these things of You Father, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Newness Appears

We can experience a renewing. Often I hear, or experience myself, struggling with getting to accomplish a certain something. What is it that made us all feel new at one time, and now we are in this place of struggle? Is it possible that we need to find a way out of that struggle? Or maybe we learn something in the struggle, and then the struggle disappears? I am perceiving that possibly there is a case for making struggles melt away. Maybe there is a way to make them not matter.

Matthew 6:31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

We can stop the chatter in our head that makes us consider this world. Then add to it the righteousness of YAH, which is the Law, placing it in our hearts. Then we can say it and do it.

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 transgressed or trespassed against us. Deliver us from the evil here. Restore unto Your people all that is good 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.

Human To Human

We are called to be human. That is a container with a lot in it. And there are certain expectations. One of them is to be good to people.

Matthew 7:12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

It is interesting that our Messiah saw this as the Law and the prophets. Many today say the Law is past away. If that is true, then so is this direction from our Messiah. We can be comforted in knowing that we are to be kind to others.

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 The prosperity and the substance that You have set apart for 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. Keep us from temptations. This is Yours. Restore us now. Restore us now. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen and Amen.

Overcoming Fears

Sometimes I see why YAH created the Sabbath for a certain purpose. Of course, there are likely many. However, one that comes to mind this morning is, overcoming fear. The Sabbath is meant to be a safe place. It is a place where we leave routine life behind. We are meant to focus on YAH and His work, I believe.

Leviticus 23:1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2Speak 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.

The word “holy” here means set apart. This day was established before the fall of mankind. Some would say the entire Law was always present, because it is the heart of YAH. I would agree. However, recorded in Genesis is the establishment of this Sabbath detail.

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 see that YAH has created a margin, a separation, from what we traditionally do, as a form of recognition and celebration. The next week would have been interesting, I would think. However, there is nothing recorded after this but the fall.

Let’s not surrender to our fears. Instead, when the Sabbath appears, let’s rest.

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 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. Restore unto Your people that which 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.

Own It, Change It

We have been given a certain authority in this planet, from the beginning.

Genesis 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

When we do not take responsibility for our surroundings, we surrender our authority to someone or something else. But because YAH is in us, we have the power of YAH. We can change what we own and control.

If you could control something today, and make it change, what would it be? Well, you do, and you can! Exciting stuff, right?

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Praise the name YAH! For You are my King, and I love what You bring. Let Your kingdom come here in the hearts and minds and bodies of Your people. Let Your will be done here perfectly 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. You have provided that we might have substance and prosperity. It has been taken and held back. Deliver us, O Yahuah, from the evil one. Deliver what You have provided, sending Michael to defeat him. Deliver us today. For the kingdom and the power are Yours forever and ever, AMEN.

Just A Chance

Much of life seems to depend on how we grew up. If we grew up with certain mindsets, these mindsets will control how our life turns out. We will literally be constrained by our thinking. Crazy, right? But it is true. We see what we expect to see. It frames our perspective on life. We have the opportunity to change our life, by changing our perspective. Said another way, we have a chance. And our Father, YAH, gave us that chance.

Mark 11:22 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.
24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

Let’s be thankful for our chance, and use it!

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. Give us today 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. Show us the way. Show us a sign for good. Let us not be tempted. Let Your kingdom reign in our hearts and minds and bodies. Reign over our substance and prosperity. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Groggy In Battle

This writing is actually taking place the day after the listing. Yesterday was the third day in a row I was under the weather. I just rested, and yet I spoke with people all over the country and offered my encouragement to them. It was not until this morning that I realized I missed writing yesterday. But just getting through one more day is winning a battle. We know this because our enemy has one goal.

John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

Let’s stay in it to win it!

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 overwhelming provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Let us not go after temptation. Deliver us from the evil here. Restore unto Your people prosperity and substance. You are the King. Only You can do these things. We ask all these things of You Father, King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen and Amen.
