Always Battle

We can face times of overwhelming odds that prevent us from what we may think is our main mission. Even when it seems like we are overrun, we can still maintain the immediate space around us. This we must do.

Ephesians 6:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
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;

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come and YOur will be done here as in heaven. Send us Your provision. Deliver us from evil. 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 thousanfold 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 HamoShiach. Amen and Amen. Amen.

Helping One Another On The Path

Trying to keep this one simple. Here is a great scripture for building one another up.

Ephesians 5:19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

Prayer
Father we exalt You, and try to do it all day. WE love You Father, for You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your will be done here as it is in heaven, with Your kingdom in the hearts and minds and bodies of the people. Send us Your provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Forgive us Father. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all 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 of our Messiah, Yeshuah HaMoshiach, and we ask them of You, Father, knowing that You hear us. Amen.

Living Life

It is important I think to make sure we all do what we can to live our lives to their fullest. By that I mean we take the time to use each moment that we can remember to do so to think about our Father and just what it is He wants from us, how what we do is reflecting Him (or not), and how to make the most for the kingdom. FOr example, I am writing this one day late. In the mean time I faced challenges, in which I did well in some and not so much in others. It is all about choosing, and we can make good choices.

Joshua 1:3  Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.

7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.
8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

Let’s all take time to think today.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and Your will be done here, just 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 thousnad fold all that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and the ore besides. We ask all these things from You Father. Send in quickly the $423,483,962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom here in this earth. Amen and Amen.

Another First

Today was yet another first for me and my friends. We Started the first day of the final shooting of the film, “Brother’s Keeper” in Abilene, TX. It is a story about the 2009 Abilene Eagles high school football team. It is a story about how the young men came together to change their own lives, and the lives of those around them. It is a story we need to hear about in America today. It gives us all hope…

Isaiah 11:6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.
7 And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and Your will be done as 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. Send in quickly the $423,483,962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom of God in people here. We ask all these things of You Father in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMoshiach. Amen and Amen.

Psalms 92

A Psalm or Song for the sabbath day.
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,
3 Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound.
4 For thou, Lord, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
5 O Lord, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.
6 A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.
7 When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever:
8 But thou, Lord, art most high for evermore.
9 For, lo, thine enemies, O Lord, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
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 in the hearts and minds and bodies of the people, and let Your will be done. Send us Your provision. Deliver us from the evil here. 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 that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and the more besides. Send in quickly the $423,483,962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom here in the hearts and minds and bodies of the people. Amen.

Making Intentional Connection

It seems like it is important to begin our day time hours with intentional pursuit of God. If we will look to Him and seek Him early, we can “find” Him and establish our day.

Isaiah 55:6 Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.

It seems plain that YAH was saying through Isaiah that we need to get back to Him while we can. If we will take the time first thing in the morning to reach out to Him, that is our best opportunity to prevail against what might come our way as we proceed through life. Once our day gets moving, it is also good to take moments to slow down and get things done by reaching out to our Father. It is never a bad time to so do.

This morning, or whenever you are reading this, take some time with our Father, YAH, and seek Him. He will be there.

Prayer
Father, O Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. There is none beside You. Praise the name YAH! Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here in the hearts and minds and bodies of the people. Let Your will be here as it is in heaven, so perfectly. 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. Deliver us from the evil here. 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 YAH. You alone are King! You alone are King! 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 alone Father, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMoshiach. Amen and Amen, Amen.

The Difference

There are so many things in life that become blessings for us that if we are willing to take just a few moments at least, we can stop and enjoy what has been done for us. It is this taking a moment to recount these blessings that can actually help us frame a much better day today. We can actually help ourselves to be happier and enjoy our lives more by simply being thankful. Even as I write this, I am experiencing this very thing for myself. It is easy to be distracted to what is missing rather than enjoying and being thankful for what we have. As I think about it, there was a time when we did not have the things we do have now. The only difference is time. We were willing to wait for those things which we have now to appear.

Psalms 30:10 Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me: Lord, be thou my helper.
11 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
12 To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone, You alone are King. We praise the name YAH! We praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here in the hearts and minds and bodies of the people, O King! Let it be as it is in heaven, where Your will is perfect and perfectly shown. Send us now, that overwhelming 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. Wipe away, wipe away. Wipe away, wipe away all the thoughts and memories of the evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories, thoughts and memories of You, O King. Take away the evil, and lead us not into temptation. Restore Your people. Restore relationships. Restore all that the worm has eaten. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all the good that has been taken or held back in any way, and the more besides, O King. Send in quickly the $423,483,962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom here in this earth. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah YAH Yeshuah HaMoshiach, and we ask them of You alone Father. Amen and Amen. Let it be so, Amen.

Aligning Life

Just thinking about the title now and realize there can be a double meaning. If we are in a spiritual battle, and we are, then likely there are actions to take to “fight” and an enemy to fight against.

Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
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.

So we have certain challenges that will come our way. Our goal is to align with the plans and works of our Father. That seems both good and obvious. But there is that second meaning. When we align our life, we shine out a light for our Father and His ways.

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.

Let’s align!

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, brining Your will here 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 thoughts and memories of the evil done to us or by us. In their place let there b e only thoughts and memories of You and Your love. Restore Your people. Restore unto Your people all that the worm has eaten. Restore one thousandfold all the good that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people Father. Send in quickly the $423,483,962.53 that we might use it to promote the the kingdom of God in mankind. We ask all these things of You, Father, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMoshiach. Amen and Amen.

Building Another

This morning in thinking about edifying people, certain scriptures came to mind.

Colossians 3:14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

If we are to build others (and ourselves) up, it is with the adding to the understanding about who our Messiah is or how our life is to be in Him. We need to learn all we can about Him and being like Him.

1 Thessalonians 5:8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
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.

So formal songs, praise songs, and songs in the Spirit all serve to tach about our Father and our Messiah.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here in this earth and just as Your will permeates heaven, so let Your kingdom be in men. 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 evil that we might no longer be tempted. 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 and Your love for us. Restore Your people unto You and restore all that the worm has eaten. Restore one thousandfold all the good that the enemy has take or held bak in any way, and the more besides. Restore, yes restore. Send in quickly the $423,483,962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom here in this earth. We ask all these things of You Father, we ask all these things of You Father, in the name of YAH Yeshuah HaMoshiach. Amen and Amen. Amen.

Light Wins!

We can be bombarded from the time we wake up with thoughts about how things might go for us, good or bad. Often, when we run down the bad road, it ends up being one thing that leads to something else to something else to something else. We can end up worrying about the third or forth thing in a string of events where the first thing has not occurred yet! That is called reliving the negative.

We can also choose something good, and build on that until we have the euphoria of some distant dream and we hesitate in that moment. That is called “living in a dreamworld” and likely has no fruit. So, what can we do? Choose life.

Deuteronomy 30:14 But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.
15See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;

19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

It’s like this. Stop the program running through your head. Talk out loud and take charge. Remember, Light wins over darkness. And to go down the good road, take that first next step , not ten steps down the road.

Say it, sing it, and praise YAH for it!

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Praise the name YAH! Send us Your provision, yes, 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. Thoughts and memories of Your love toward us. Deliver us from the evil here. Restore all that the worm has eaten. Restore Your people unto You. 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 restore Your kingdom in the hearts and minds and bodies of the people here. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah HaMoshiach, and we ask them of You, Father and King. Amen. Amen. Amen.
