Receive The Blessings

This morning I was thinking about patterns in life. There is one I have noticed that is good to be aware of in each moment. When life moves along at a slower pace, it seems easier to remember to do the things we are commissioned to do by the Father. At that pace we find the time. What becomes more challenging is remembering as we approach a goal. The noise and distractions get louder and larger, or so it seems. But if we can remember the concept of a pattern, we can use that to power us to be able to complete the pattern to commune with the Father.

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.
18 He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me.

Let us pray to YAH, sing His praises, and remember to always honor 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. 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, our King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

It Was Settled

It is a great comfort to know that we have a path to walk that allows us to actually reach the end. IT is because our Father already planned it out. We have already won because of the price paid by Yeshuah (Jesus) for each of us. The end was set from the beginning.

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:

He knew. He planned it. He has already set in motion everything to bring it to pass.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our 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 inn the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Best Tool For Our Walk

We want our walk to be great. We want our lives to be great. It is clear that change is good, from a scriptural perspective.

Psalms 55:12 For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:
13 But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.
14 We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company.
15 Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.
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.
18 He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me.
19 God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.

So, to get to great if it is not we must change. That is a good thing.

Unfortunately, for many of us, our idea of great is for everyone else to change. The result of that is people talking about others, which is not good for anyone. In the end if we know that change is good, we should seek change that is Godly. And fortunately there is one tool that is really good for that, or actually two. The mirror – if you look into it long enough you will see the truth and change. And then the spiritual mirror – the scriptures.

James 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

We have a simple truth, a simple answer, a simple way to walk. Use the mirror our Father has given to us.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and lete 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 all the goods that have 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.

So Many Blessings…

Sometimes I find myself just walking along trying to live life like it is of my own creating and design independently of everything else or anything else. But when I take time to pause, to think about where we are, on a planet created by our Father YAH, and that we have been given a mission, then it gets more interesting. What I have found helps is praying in the Spirit, as well as praying with understanding, and then waiting. YAH always seems to then show me a lesson, or provide some understanding. Today that was a beautiful scripture, a psalm meant for the Sabbath day. Guess He wanted me to prepare for it coming this evening.

Psalms 92:1 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,

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 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, all the prosperity, all the gold and silver 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.

Thankful For Comfort

We can create our future, and we do. Much of it has to do with what we think and what we say. It is a good thing for us to speak what we are commissioned to do by YAH repeatedly in the face of challenges to doubt or other temptations. We can say that we are thankful and praise HIM to help us become thankful.

Psalms 34:1 I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2 My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.
3 O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.
4 I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
5 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.
6 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.
7 The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
8 O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
9 O fear the Lord, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.

Today I will both speak and sing His praises out loud.

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. 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. Bring in quickly Your promised resources. Thank You. Thank You. Thank You for Your comfort. We need You. We Need You. We need You. Today we ask that You show up mightily on our behalf that we might all be a sign for good to those who see, that all men might know that you alone have done these things. We ask all these things in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Fighting For Clarity

There is a view that many of us either have now or may have had in the past or may have been exposed to at some point. That view is that only the perfect get their prayers heard, only the perfect can do spiritual battle, or only the perfect somehow have a “right” to expect good in life, answers to prayer, etc. If this was true, no man would stand, ever get anything good from God, have their prayers answered, etc. The truth is, we must fight on, even knowing that we are deficient in some ways. This is the inner struggle that we have to face, even while in the battle. It is what those that have gone on before us have done, according to scripture.

James 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.
18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.

Imagine the struggle Elijah faced, knowing his own shortcomings, yet being obedient to stop and start the rain.

May we all be encouraged to follow in his example.

Prayer

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

Moving, But Moving Forward

Twice in the last three nights, I have had dreams about flying. In general, when I have these dreams, they are about something spiritual. These were no different for me. And they were lucid dreams. I was not always completely asleep, but I was able to interact with them. Generally, they were a reminder for me and others that our Father is not only on our side, He wants us to be encouraged that we have been given power in this life, and we should use. We should especially use it to encourage others and pray of others (and ourselves of course).

Ephesians 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

Here Paul is saying that we are to use the rhema (word) of God as the sword of the Spirit in reference to praying in the Spirit for the saints. For Paul this was praying in tongues. This rhema is what Yeshuah used to cleanse us from unrighteousness.

Ephesians 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

Today, let’s move forward and pray for one another in the Spirit.

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. Deliver us from financial restrictions today, Father. We ask all these things of You Father, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

True Reality

This morning I thought about interviewing someone to ask what they would offer as a word of encouragement to the world at large. Before I could press speed dial, an answer came to me – true reality. We have the opportunity for us to know truth. What we see around us is only the result of many humans interacting with the truth. What we see around us is the result. There is good news mixed in with all of that, however. We are a part of what impacts what is around us.

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.

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 the gates, Father. Restore the treasuries Father. Throw open the treasuries that we might fulfill the destiny which You have provided for us. We need You now. We need You now, and always. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Newness Renewed

It is good to have the opportunity to “start over” when we have to get past some struggle from life. Each week, on the first day of the week (Yom Rishon), wee have that opportunity. It is a part of that cycle created by YAH when He rested on the seventh day.

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
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.

At this point there was as of yet no sun, moon, and stars. Yet the evening-morning cycle had begun. It was because YAH said it was so. We can take comfort in the fact that when YAH establishes a cycle or a thing, it will be that way without fail.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our 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, in the name Yah Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Seeking Peace

It was a challenging week for my friends and me. Perhaps it was for you as well. In these times I like to rest on the Sabbath and find peace. Guess today is one of those days for me. So many challenges, it would be great for today to not have more. Probably I will just spend time reading and writing and singing.

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.

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.
