Great Reward

The walk we are each given is unique. And, there are also many similarities. We each have unique gifts, but we share same promises. One promise is the promise of great reward.

Matthew 6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

It was also told Abram that YAH is our exceeding great reward.

Genesis 15:1 After these things the word of the Lord came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.

We can see that our Father gives us His all, everything, when we trust Him and act like He has said to us the truth.

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. Remember Your people YAH. Raise us from the dust. Set us at the gates with the rulers that all men might know that You alone have done this thing. We ask all these things in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Taking Time

Thankfulness, thanksgiving, giving thanks – this morning as I sit considering these points, I wonder at the challenges that keep me from doing these things or having this attitude more. It would seem that the key here is really time. We have to be willing to have the time or take the time to stop our mental stream and just contemplate our Father and all that He does.

Psalms 9:1 I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.
2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.
3 When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence.
4 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right.

So much to be thankful for when we just take time to think about 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 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.

Standing Ground

Spiritual warfare can come in many forms in real life. It can be those times that we have all experienced when there is intense prayer. Sometimes spiritual warfare is just living life. And then there are times when it is standing our ground in the face of tremendous pressure for what is right. I heard of one such incident recently. A friend of mine had the legal teams of some very large companies attempting to get him and his friends to give them something without all the necessary legal paperwork in place. They refused. Turns out one of the companies had an employee that thought he and his friends would cave in. When they did not, it became obvious that this person had overstepped. Not sure what his organization did about him. But my friend actually went through some pretty tough physical health struggles and they stood their ground.

What was the struggle, really. Right versus wrong, good versus evil, YAH versus the insignificant one… I am not saying that the people were evil, wrong, etc. I am saying the action they were trying to take was wrong. We are called to always stand for the right thing. And in the end, who prevails? In the end, YAH will always prevail.

Ephesians 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

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

Strong Assistance

We are told in scripture that it is a good thing to edify one another.

1 Thessalonians 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

One of the greatest challenges we may face as believes trying to walk out this charge comes when we see someone struggling with a particular area of their walk, and they cannot see it.

We must be strong enough in our faith to take action. We must be strong enough to be gentle and loving in the words we choose. We must have a strong enough relationship with that person to be able to speak into their life. We must be strong enough in our own relationship with the Father that we trust Him to be with us when we speak, and that He will also show to us where we need to change. All of these are a form of strong assistance. In the end, YAH is always calling for His people to turn to Him.

Zechariah 1:3 Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Turn ye unto me, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will turn unto you, saith the Lord of hosts.

Let’s all be strong for each other today.

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 reputation. Help us see where we need more of You, and to be more like You. Send Your deliverance, and lift us on high. Do this that all men might know that You alone are King. Restore today Father. We need You. We ask all these things in the nameYAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

First Things First

It is difficult to understand people at times, or can be. When people say things, there is a tendency these days for that statement that they have made to have no meaning. For example, if someone says they will call you, but they do not, then what does their word mean? Not trying to say here that is was a malicious thing, or even that I do not do the same thing. We too easily make exact commitments, without the consideration (or enough consideration) as to whether or not we can perform them.

Matthew 5:33 Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:
34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God’s throne:
35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.

Yeshuah here was teaching us that our communication with each other needs to be simple. If we get beyond that, then we are likely to say things we cannot perform.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your will be done here, and let Your kingdom come here, on earth as it is in heaven. Send us now Your provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to for givet hose that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Deliver us from the evil here. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all the good that hs 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.

Always New Stuff…

People have asked me, how do you always have something to write everyday? For me, the answer is simple. There is so much that I do not know about YAH and His ways, and I am eager to learn. It becomes easy at that point, because I find something for that moment, that day, that is important to me. Since I like to focus on His blessings, it becomes even easier.

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.

Today, think of a blessing!

Healing Words

On the Sabbath, we like to read the words of scripture out loud. There can be healing in these words when we hear them. Scriptures say there is blessing in reading them aloud.

Revelation 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.

There is even instruction to read the Torah out loud once every seven years.

Deuteronomy 31:9 And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it unto the priests the sons of Levi, which bare the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and unto all the elders of Israel.
10 And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of every seven years, in the solemnity of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles,
11 When all Israel is come to appear before the Lord thy God in the place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their hearing.

Bottom line, read the scriptures out loud and be blessed.

Prayer

Restore unto Your people all the 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.

Pressing When Pressed

Many of us have faced situations where that which is not good is pressing us to do something that we should not. Hopefully we understand our situation at the time. Hopefully we push back when we are pushed. And by pushing back, I do not mean in the same fashion that we are pushed. I mean with the truth and with righteousness, doing and saying the right thing.

Proverbs 26:4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.
5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.

Short version, don’t be like them, but tell the truth and don’t give in.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Alone You 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 the good ground unto Your people. 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.

Thanks For This Day

Sometimes when I think of my thanksgiving toward our Father, I try to get over spiritual (for me). Today, for example, I am thankful for Him giving the ability to resist the enemy’s posing evil thoughts that I bring in to my mind. What can we do in this situation?

Deuteronomy 30:10 If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.
11 For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off.
12 It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
14 But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.
15 See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;
16 In that I command thee this day to love the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the Lord thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.

Everyday we have the opportunity to say good or evil out of our mouth. What comes out of our mouth and the mouths of those around us comes into our minds. With our minds we can tap into our emotions and drives.

All this begins with thankfulness. Today, let’s be thankful.

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 to those in need around us and around the world, spreading Your light. 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.

Resisting Evil

Sometimes the spiritual warfare is simple. We have instructions like this from scripture.

James 4:6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

An issue can be when we are stuck in temptation, we may not be able to resist alone. That is a good time to cry out to our Father, both in our native tongue and in the spirit.

Prayer
