Have Courage

Courage comes sometimes by acting courageous in the midst of tough times because we trust God. The psalmist makes this plain.

Psalms 27:14 Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.

Another way to translate this is to say eagerly look for Yahuah, and act (look) like a person of strength, and then Yahuah will put strength in your heart. Therefore eagerly anticipate Yahuah.

This is really great to understand. God has always looked for those willing to stand for Him. He does the rest.

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 all the blessings and prosperity that has been promised and has been taken or held back in any way, and that one thousandfold. We ask all these things of You Father, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Blessings In The Rain

There have been times when I have found myself lamenting the rain. Maybe I had to cut the grass, or have a cookout, or something similar. But short of a flood, rain is a blessing to us here in this earth. We are given one of the most basic things needed for all life through the rain – water. In scripture, rain is considered a blessing and the lack of it a curse.

Matthew 5:43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

I have learned to enjoy the rain.

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.

Resting And Rest

Often when I think of rest, I think of doing nothing. Vegetating is another word for that action. Rest can be seen as a noun, a thing, in that regard. Resting is more of an action. It involves doing something to rest. On the Sabbath, we take part in resting to gain rest. We acknowledge God to gain our place with Him. This is just a simple example of an idea behind the Sabbath.

Genesis 2:2 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.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! 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 that has been taken or held back in any way of that which is good, and the more besides. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah. We ask all these things of You Father, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Waiting Upon God

When we wait upon our Father, we get to do more of what we want in life. Maybe a better way to say it is we will enjoy life more. We will learn to be all we can be and do all we need to do.

Romans 14:17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

Let us all therefore pursue truth, know that our Father will share the truth with us. Sometimes we must wait upon our Father to hear.

Isaiah 40:29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

God will renew our strength.

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. Let it overflow to those around us and make Your people jealous of You. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Deliver us, deliver us from evil. Restore major prosperity to Your people, silver gold, and precious jewels one thousandfold, and thousands of thousands of thousands of all that has been taken or held back in any way. We ask all these things of You Father, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

For The Role

Today, I am thankful for the role I get to play in God’s masterpiece called the universe. I am not perfect. No one is, and that is okay. Our goal and our job is to get at life – our life. We are meant to make a difference in our sphere of influence. It may be small, but it is important because we are the only one that exists in our entire sphere. We can make a difference if we let our Father’s light shine through us.

Matthew 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Today I am just thankful that in me I get to show the workings of the Father, that no man is perfect, and if any man is willing to repent and turn to the Father, He will receive him through the blood of our Messiah Yeshuah.

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 your intended prosperity that has been taken or held back in any way, and the more besides. we as all these things of You, Father, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Doing My Job

Each of us has a task to perform. Each of us has our own relationship with God. When we each do our task we are actually overcoming evil. When I do my job, I am overcoming evil. Spiritual warfare can be as simple as doing our job. We are all called to do something.

Romans 11:27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sakes.
29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.

Today, let’s each do our part that we might be able to not only be saved, but cause those around us to be saved as well.

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 the great prosperity that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and the more besides. The more besides, Father. We ask all these things in the name YAH Yeshuah Hamashiach. We ask all these things of You, Father King. We need You, we love You. Please raise us up know, and shine Your light. Amen and Amen. Amen.

Pick Up A Friend

Sometimes we are in the right place at the right time to help someone out. As it turns out, I am writing this a day late. Yesterday, I had a friend making a journey to the same destination as me.His motorcycle died, and it happened in a location where our paths intersected for the rest of the trip. I was able to get there and give hi a ride the rest of the way. It was great, and we got to catch up a bit. We are given opportunities in life to be there when a friend needs us. Scriptures seem to indicate that this is how it is to work.

Galatians 6:1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
2 Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.
4 But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.
5 For every man shall bear his own burden.
6 Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.
7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

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 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 to be spiritual and not carnal. 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.

Just Enough, And Then Some

We can know that there will always be enough for us. We will always receive what we need. And likely, there will be some leftover. This happened in miracles in scripture from the time of Abraham to the time of Yeshuah. Yahuah yireh.

John 6:2 And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased.
3 And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.
4 And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.
5 When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?
6 And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.
7 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.
8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, saith unto him,
9 There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?
10 And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
11 And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.
12 When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.
13 Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten.
14 Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.

If we seek the Father, He will reveal the Messiah and the plan for us to have what we need, plus what those around us need, plus some left over.

Be not afraid, for our Messiah, Yeshuah HaMashiach, has come into this world to save 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 as it is in heaven. Send us Your provision, that it might overflow, and that there be more left over. 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 of held back in any way, and the more besides. We ask all these things of You Father, in the name YAH Yeshuah Hamashiach. Amen.

Choosing Happy

A friend of mine has expressed certain unhappiness of late. In fact, the claim is not having been happy for a very long time. That seems interesting. What is happy? Perhaps it is a choice like the rest of life. That seems to be what both Moses and Paul have said.

Deuteronomy 30:11 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;

Choose life! Choose happy!

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here and Your will be done here on earth as it is in heaven. Send us now Your provision that we might have no lack. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. 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.

Surrender And Rest

If we are not cautious in our thoughts, we can find ourselves wanting to be in control. It can be subtle, like wanting things to go a certain way, wanting them to happen at a certain time, or being disgruntled when they do not. All signs of the desire to control. And this is not an attack on having a plan. Planning is good. But “letting go and letting God” is also good.

Proverbs 16: 9 A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps.

33 The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the Lord.

We can rest knowing Go has got this.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone tare 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 that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people – the healing, the health, the lands and seas, and the gold and silver – and the more besides. We ask all these things in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.
