Thank You For Mercy

The mercy that our Father shows on us at times can be overwhelming. It is difficult to imagine that when we make mistakes, He is willing to not only forgive when we ask, He is willing to assist us in making our way out of these troubled situations. He has always had a way, we just need to follow it. When I consider all He did in sending His Son here and enduring excruciating pain, it makes my heart both hurt, and rejoice. Hurt because between the pain suffered by Yeshuah physically and the anguish of the Father at watching, it is so sad. And rejoicing because of the joy in feeling that He really cares for us is also so overwhelming it brings incredible emotions to my heart.

Isaiah 61:10 I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.
11 For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.

It is good to know that our Father always has our back.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You, we exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Praise the name Yahuah. Let Your kingdom come here and Your will be done here on earth as it is in heaven. Send us now Your provision, and let it abundantly flow to those around us. Forgive us our trespass and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Wipe away! Wipe away! Wipe away all thoughts and memories of the evil done to us or by us. Fill today! Fill today! Fill us with just thoughts and memories of You. Deliver us from the evil and temptations that try to destroy Your children. Restore, Father. Restore, O my King. Restore unto Your people, YAH, one thousandfold all the good that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people and the more besides, the more besides. Send in quickly the $423, 483, 962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom of God here in the hearts and minds and bodies of the people, YAH. Let us promote Your kingdom. We ask all these things of You, Father. We ask all these things of You, King. We ask all these things of You in the name YAH Yeshuah Hamashiach. Amen and Amen. Amen.

Making A Way

Our Father is with us at all times. When things seem the most impossible, that’s when our Father makes things possible.

Isaiah 43:15 I am the Lord, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King.
16 Thus saith the Lord, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;

The next verses tel a great story about how He is the one that fights the battles for us.

Isaiah 43:17 Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise: they are extinct, they are quenched as tow.
18 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.
19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

For YAH is a very Great and Mighty King, above all. He makes a way for us, where there was no way before.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here and Your will be done here perfectly, so perfectly, 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. Wipe all thoughts and memories of the evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You. Restore Your people. Help us all to turn to You. Restore Your people, and create clean hearts in us all. 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, the more besides. Rise up my King! Rise up my King! Send now Your armies to deliver prosperity to Your people Let Michael stand and defeat the enemy. Let the stump be destroyed, O YAH. We ask all these things of You, Father, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen and Amen and Amen. Amen.

Adding To Others

This morning as I am thinking about faith and what it means, it leads me in interesting directions. We are meant to know that YAH is on our side, has our back, and is delivering us. That is true faith, I believe. And we know we are to help build others up.

1 Thessalonians 5:11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

The challenge is in trying to understand how to pass on faith to others. It seems to be something that only an individual can experience. It is the transition from doubting, or unbelief, or believing something else to believing YAH. It seems like the only way to do that is to demonstrate it to others and let them see what YAH is doing in our lives. Then walk them through it maybe with explanation.

Prayer
Father we exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your Kingdom come and Your will be done here 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. Wipe away all thoughts and memories of the evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You. Restore, restore. Restore Your people and their families. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all the good that has been taken or held back in any way, and the more besides. Father, let not Your children go hungry, or thirsty, or without a place to lay their head. Rise up and strike the enemy that withholds the property and prosperity that You have given to Your children. Send in quickly the $423,483,962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom of God here in the hearts and minds and bodies of the people. We ask all these things of You Father, in the name YAH Yeshuah Hamashiach. Amen and Amen.

Huslte Up!

Even now I can hear the words of my high school football coach encouraging my team members and me to keep moving forward. Those are years I remember fondly now, though at the time they were often more of a challenge. The scriptures (especially the Law) can be that very coach for us, pointing us in the right direction.

Galatians 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

The schoolmaster is a good teacher.

Prayer

Send in quickly the $423,483,962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom of God here in the hearts and minds and bodies of the people here. We ask all these things of You Father, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Gentle Instruction

We are offered the most wonderful instructor on the planet – our Father in Heaven. Unlike what some of us earthly fathers do, our heavenly Father is kind and gentle in His instruction. He carefully leads us to change our lives to what they should be. Rarely is it a drastic change, unless He gives us enough grace for such a move.

John 3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

He just loves us and loves lovin’ on us. What a great Dad!

Today In Wonderland

Where is Alice these days? When I consider the works of YAH, I think of all He has done. I try to see the world from different perspectives in an attempt to understand exactly what it is that He is doing for us, and has already done. On the Sabbath, I like to think about what is in store for us as believers, and spend time with our Daddy.

Psalms 111:1 Praise ye the Lord. I will praise the Lord with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.
2 The works of the Lord are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.
3 His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
4 He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the Lord is gracious and full of compassion.
5 He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.
6 He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.
7 The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.
8 They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness.
9 He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name.
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our Elohim. Praise the name YAH! Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here. Let Your will be done here as it is perfectly in heaven. Send us now Your provision. Forgive us our trespasses and trans gressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all the good – the relationships, financial prosperity, and health – that has been taken or held back in any way, and the more besides, the more besides. Let the rivers of finances begin to flow to Your people. We ask all these things of You Father, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMoshiach. Amen.

Seeking Something

This morning as I was thinking about all that we do in life in my prayer time, I asked YAH to give me a scripture. When He did, I had an experience that many are familiar with and that is, I saw something new in it.

James 4:1 From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?
2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?
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.
8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

For the first time I saw that the killing here can be hatred, according to our Messiah. The adulterers and adulteresses here are people that love anything more than God – that certain new car, house, boat, clothes, food… Of course it could mean sexual, but the deeper meaning here that I saw is YAH is talking more about is our relationship with Him. If we earnestly desire some thing and have not first surrendered it to Him, then the thing is taking first place over that same thirst for being with Him.

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. Let Your will be done here perfectly 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. Wipe away all thoughts and memories of the evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You. Deliver us from the evil here. It is Your kingdom and Your power. Help us to walk after You. Restore Your people, Father. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all the good that has been taken or held back in any way, and the more besides. Send in quickly the $423,483,962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom of YAH here in the hearts and minds and bodies of the people. We ask all these things of You, Father, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMoshiach. Amen and Amen.

Another Good Day

There is something I remember when times seem to be more challenging than I had hoped.

James 1:2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
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.

This is all a test to let us learn to know when and how to cry out to our Father, and to know that He hears us and will help us. Praise YAH for His wisdom is superior to mine.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your will done here, and let Your kingdom come here, that it might be 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. Wipe away all the memories of the evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You. Cast me not away from thy presence, O YAH, and take not thy Holy Spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, and renew a right spirit within me. The kingdom and the power are Yours. Restore one thousandfold all that has been taken or held back in any way of that which is good to Your people. Send in quickly $423,483,962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom of God in the hearts and minds and bodies of the people here. We ask all these things of You, Father our King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMoshiach. Amen. Amen.

Fighting A Winning Battle

Often in life I have heard the phrase, fighting a losing battle. These days when we do spiritual warfare, we are actually fighting a winning battle, and we know it going in! How amazing is that? Here is how we know.

2 Chronicles 2:14 Then upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, came the Spirit of the Lord in the midst of the congregation;
15 And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the Lord unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s.

Here we see that God already has the battle in hand before we go into battle. And He never loses, so we do not lose! Praise YAH!

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are God. You alone are God. Praise Your name, the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come, and Your will be done here as it is in heaven. Restore, restore. Send us Your provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Wipe away all thoughts and memories of the evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You. 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. O Mighty King, deliver us now. We ask all these things of You Father, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMoshiach. Amen and Amen.

Jump In

Today I am reminded of the importance of jumping in to help one another whenever possible. We are in a time when we have so many in need. Yes, we do want to pray for other. And we also want to be the hands and the feet of the Messiah. Perhaps Paul said it best.

Galatians 6:9 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 are King and worthy to be praised. Let Your kingdom come and let Your will be done here as it is in heaven. Send us Your provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions. Deliver us from the evil, without temptation. 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, the more besides. We ask all these things of You Father, in the name YAH Yeshuah Hamoshiach. Amen.
