Rest In Place

Today being the first Sabbath of the month, some of us gather to make a statement by standing for those that never will – the unborn. There is an incredible move afoot to control and change the world for a darker place. Ant that effort has permeated so many things. Yet, if we will just try, we can make a difference. We can get ourselves to the place where we have clearer water coming out of the bucket. And that is our hope. We want to rest on the Sabbath, but we will rest in place.

Psalms 115:1 Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake.
2 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God?
3 But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.

Praise YAH!

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone, You alone, 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. Let it 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, and from those that plot evil against us. Lead us away from temptation. Let Your glory come. Let Your power come. Restore all the strength, all the substance, all the provision, all the good that has been taken of held back in any way from Your people, and that one thousandfold. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Knowing Where To Start

In moments where there is either a great deal to do a some specific task seems very large, it can be a challenge to know where to start. In former days I would have said just start somewhere. And while this is not a bad idea, I want to at least take a moment and questions that approach. Perhaps that is not the best way to go about things. This strikes me as true in particular with “things of God”. I say it like that because if we truly belong to Him, then all things are “things of God” for us. But perhaps intensive study of Hebrew could be one of those. I guess in the end, it is just prayer that matters most. There is one scripture that does seem to address this point.

James 1:5 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.
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.
9 Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:

Interestingly enough this very scripture follows one about letting patience work itself out in us. This does take faith in YAH that He will do a thing.

Praise YAH!

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. Deliver us from evil here. 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. We ask all these things of You fFather King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Drive On

Many people do not have the inner will to just keep going. Or at least they do not think they have it. For some of us, this drive to keep going is stronger than in others. For me, it has long been one of those things that I had in an unlimited way. These days is is being tested in many ways. For example, I am trying to train for a triathlon. I am not a coach of athletic events, and have not been an athletic person for many years. Yet I am learning to just keep going in the face of seemingly significant challenges. Just have to keep driving. I am just so thankful that our Father is in fact the perfect example of someone that just keeps going. He does not stop in any way. He just makes it happen.

Isaiah 55:9 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.

Praise YAH that He is the example of perfection, the He show us perfectly how to drive on!

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King! Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here in me. Let Your will be done here perfectly around me 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 people. Keep us from temptation. The evil has withheld the substance and prosperity that You have set aside for me and for Your people. I loose it now in agreement with You that it is destined to appear in my life. Thank You Father, for doing these great things and for transforming my body. Restore the good, restore the substance, restore the prosperity, and all these one thousandfold, and the more besides. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Fog The Mirror

The enemy of our souls tries to overcome us with creatures that like to bight and gnaw at us – we call them humans. Really, I do not know if these people are aware of what they are doing or not. But our job as believers is to stand for the truth and to pray for them that they might find their way to the truth as well. Might well be one of our most important jobs, praying for others. But here is the thing, if we are still fogging the mirror, then we are still winning. The outcome was decided from before we were born.

Jeremiah 1:4 Then the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

God has got THIS!

Just stand, and fog that mirror!

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 Your people. Let Your will be done here as it is in the heavens. 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. Rise up O King, deliver us from the evil, and the evil men. Keep us from temptations. Rise up today and prosper Your people. So much substance has been taken and we ask that You restore it one thousandfold. We ask all these things of You Father in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen and Amen.

You Can

This morning as I thought about encouraging others, I was trying to think of how each of us can be encouraging to the others around us. For many of us, it is as simple as deciding that we will be encouraging, and then just doing it.Think about it. How long does it really take to be encouraging to someone? A pleasant word in passing, a text of a favorite saying or scripture, a social media post about a better day – all of these are easy and quick. We just need to have a heart towards it.

Proverbs 16:23 The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips.
24 Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

Today, let’s all try being a blessing to those around us. Take that moment to do and say something positive. Watch what happens by the end of the day.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. 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 Your people, and let Your will be done here, on earth 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. We are frail, and we need Your help so deliver us now. Keep us from following temptation. Be our reminder. Strengthen our hearts that we might teach our lips. For we love You. Yes, we love You. Restore all the substance and prosperity that has been taken or lost or held back in any way from Your people, and the more besides. Only You can do this. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen and Amen and Amen.

What If

This morning I was thinking of the world as a different sort of place. What if in this world we were to be positive and upbeat at all times? What if we only said good things about people? What if we went the extra mile to help those we know and those we do not know? What if?

Colossians 3:16 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.

Today, like everyone, we all have our own set of challenges. And it is true, we cannot change the world instantly. But we can change the world we in which we live instantly, simply by changing us. We can be that positive force for good, and leave all we meet in our world better than they were before we crossed their path.

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. Let us now give n to temptation. Let Your kingdom reign, and Your power be released, and show up in Your glory, for these are Yours forever. We only have You. We only have You, Father King, but You are all in all. Let Your angels fight through with the victory today that all men might know that You alone have done these things. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen and Amen.

Not Alone

This morning I was thinking about dreams, and trying to understand if they had meaning or not. As I went down this path, I thought about how good it is to know that we are not alone. Our Father is always with us. He is always on our side. He will always help us when we seek the help. But we need to make that effort. He longs for us to reach out to Him. And He has built that desire in us as well.

Psalms 42:1 As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.
7 Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.
8 Yet the Lord will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.
11 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

There will be dreams that seem good, and dreams that seem odd. There will be days that seem good, and days that seem odd. Our Father is with us and for us in them all. His song that He sings over us is for us. We need only sing in agreement.

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, 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 let not temptations overcome us. We need You here. We need You now. Many have risen against us. You alone are King, Father. Declare a thing, and it will be. Declare us now to lead, to be the head and not the tale, and to lend and not borrow, and to have the substance in abundance here and now in this place, O my King, let it so be. We ask all these things in the name YAH Yeshiuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Resting The Heart

Today is the Sabbath. Depending on which calendar you might be following, this is the last daylight period before the beginning of the seventh month. If that is true, then we are about to embark on the time when Yeshuah was born. All that said, our Father is and has always been all about the heart. Being with Him is about serving Him from the inside. I cannot speak for others, but for me it makes me want to seriously consider that inner part of me. I want to have a heart that can be at rest on the Sabbath. To that end, this is a scripture I have chosen to say outloud, and even to sing, to my Father.

Psalms 103:1 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.
7 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.
8 The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.

Thank You, Father.

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. 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. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Learning To Hear

When I consider the efforts of Abraham, I am in awe. To think that one night he heard God’s voice, and uprooted his whole family to move to a strange land, is amazing!

Genesis 12:1 Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
4 So Abram departed, as the Lord had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.
5 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother’s son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.

At this point Abram had lost a brother, the father of Lot. He had moved with his wife and nephew, at his own father’s direction, to the land of his brother. He moved to a place of family. Yet, when YAH spoke to Abram, he left. To me, it is not so much that he did what God directed, although that alone is something. What stands out for me is he clearly heard YAH speak to him. He must have heard clearly to take such an action.

Today, wouldn’t it be great to hear so clearly the voice of YAH when He speaks? What YAH said to Abram was truly contrary to what his family would have thought. And his family was his society. But scriptures say we will find our Father, and hear from Him, when we seek Him with our entire inner being.

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.
14 And I will be found of you, saith the Lord: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the Lord; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.

It’s not about our head, it’s about our heart.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. You are in covenant with us. 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. Deliver us from the evil here. Restore Your judgements in the earth, and place us on right paths. Help us keep our hearts and minds stayed on You, YAH. Restore substance to Your people while it is called today. Fill our treasuries that we might promote Your kingdom here in this earth. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen and Amen and Amen.

Better Way

It is good to be able to seek our Father, and for Him to be found by us. This morning as I prayed, I was moved and thankful to think about all that our Father has set up for us from before time began. He set up a path for living, a better way than we could ever create for ourselves.

Proverbs 8:17 I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.
18 Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.
19 My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.
20 I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:
21 That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.

Today, I look to my Father, thanking Him for all He has shown me. I know that He is with us. I know that He has only good for us. He is our King.

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, and deliver us. We ask that you would fill our treasuries, and cause substance to come forth. All that has been taken or held back in any way we call to You now to restore. Restore one thousandfold. We ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.
