Good Bye

Today I buried a good friend. Our dog, Freedom, passed away last night. Today we buried her with a short service.

Psalms 23:6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

We love you, Miss Freedom. Dance and play with the angels…

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 bee 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.

Day Of Decision

Scriptures speak often about the decision to follow YAH or not.

1 Kings 18:17 And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel?
18 And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father’s house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the Lord, and thou hast followed Baalim.
19 Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at Jezebel’s table.
20 So Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel.
21 And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the Lord be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.

So we see that the prophet Elijah encouraged the people to choose to serve God.

Joshua 24:14 Now therefore fear the Lord, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the Lord.
15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
16 And the people answered and said, God forbid that we should forsake the Lord, to serve other gods;

Joshua was also a prophet who became the leader of Israel. He also told the people to choose. He had made his choice. They chose rightly.

Today, let’s choose rightly, to serve YAH the living God. He alone can deliver. He alone is worthy to be praised and served.

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 bee 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.

New Beginnings

We have a God who is willing to care for us and be with us everyday. And everyday He gives us renewed blessings.

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.

Everyday His compassion is renewed toward His people. This is how faithful He is toward us.

Thank you, Father, for your love and truth and tender mercies.

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. Send us now Your mercies. Raise up Your people. Raise up Your people. Lift us up from the dust and set us in Your high places. You alone are King. Show us a sign for good to those that see us, that all men might know that You alone have done this. WE thank You that You hear us. We ask all these things, of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Deciding Is The Beginning

We are pretty constantly faced with choices in our life. When we want to undertake a substantial change in our life, that takes a decision. That decision is the beginning. We select change, or not. Change for the better, and by better I mean YAH’s ways, is a good thing. But it can be challenging because it is different and unknown. Here is one scripture that helps me to understand that change is good and actually a part of spiritual warfare.

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.
19 God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.

Today, let us select change to move more in the way that YAH has set before us.

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 overflowing provision that we 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. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all the good that has been taken or held back in any way, and the more besides. Show us a sign for good, that all may know that You alone have done this. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah. We ask all these things of You Father, our King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Fathers Forgive

Over the years I have heard many people speak from pulpits in churches and living rooms about sin. Often I have heard it said that if we sin there is willingly there is no forgiveness. This is obsurd, really. What Father would not forgive their child one more time, if they asked with a contrite heart? And I have heard people say that we must forgive, but then use the excuse of praying for someone to gossip. Sad, really.

The truth is, our Father loves us. Always has. Always will. Period. He just wants us to return when we stray.

Luke 15:4 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?
5 And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
6 And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.
7 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
8 Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it?
9 And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.
10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.

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 not fall into temptation. Raise us up, and we shall sing of Your mighty works! Let us restore Your kingdom in the hearts and minds and bodies of Your people. Restore unto Your people the gold, silver and precious stones that have 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 and Amen.

Catching Up?

Sometimes I get behind in my writings here. Then I get back on track. But when we go through this kind of a work, do we really catch up? YAH is always on the move, making things happen towards the end of Him restoring His people and His planet. Yes, we get the work complete, but what do we miss? This is not said to condemn. It is said to try to understand time better, and to make sure we use it well.

Ephesians 5:15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

Today, let’s use our time wisely.

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. Send us now the treasures of heaven. Send us now the treasures of earth. Send us the prosperity that we might deliver Your kingdom to many. We ask all these things in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Comfort Of Friends

It is amazing to spend time in the company of those that are seeking the Father’s heart for wisdom and truth. If we are willing to press in, we can find out what He has to offer. Sharing a spiritual meal with the brethren is a wonderful thing! It brings us together.

Psalms 133 A Song of degrees of David.
1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;
3 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life 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 the generations. Restore Your people unto You. Restore unto Your people prosperity. We assk all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Sabbath Learning

It can become obvious with just a small amount of study that we have so much to learn. Let us use the Sabbath to learn of our Father.

Isaiah 58:13 If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:
14 Then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.

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 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.

Love The Learning

It is really great to have opportunities to learn about our Father. The level of intricacies and detail are simply astounding! We can apply ourselves to this by considering all our Father has done for us and what that means for us. He encourages us to seek wisdom.

Proverbs 8:1 Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?
2 She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.
3 She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors.
4 Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man.
5 O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.
6 Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things.
7 For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them.
9 They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge.
10 Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.
11 For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
12 I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.
13 The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.
15 By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.
16 By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.
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.

Prayer
Father, we adore 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 Yeshah HaMashiach. Amen.

Small Things

It seems very easy in life to be caught up in the actions of the day. Even though I try to not let that happen, it is amazing how often it happens to me. It is also easy to want to move on to what matters (as in what matters to me). However, if some of you are also in this category, perhaps what we should ask is, are we ready? If YAH suddenly gave us what we have been asking for in the way of big things, would we be prepared to handle it. It could be as simple as a new car but my garage is full of junk – no place for the new car. It is important to deal with the little things, and enjoy that process. It is a time of preparation!

Zecharaih 4:10 For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the Lord, which run to and fro through the whole 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 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 thousand fold all the good that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and the more besides, the more besides. We ask all these things of You father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.
