Time Begins

Each day, time begins anew. At least, for our Father, He sees us that way. Each day His mercy is renewed.

Lamentations 3:22 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.
26 It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord.

It is good to remember that we are called to do our Father’s work. It is good to call to mind that His mercies toward us are new every morning. He never fails us.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your will be done here as it is in heaven. Deliver us from the evil here. Deliver us from the evil here. Deliver us from the evil here. Let Your kingdom come in the hearts and minds of mankind. Send us Your provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed of transgressed against us. Wipe away all the thoughts of evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You and Your love toward us. We need You desperately. Send in quickly the $423,923,962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom of God here in this earth. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all that has been taken or held back in any way, and the more besides. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We ask all these things in the name of YAH, Your name, Father. WE ask all these things in the name of YAH Yeshuah. Amen.

At Rest

What we do to be at rest seems to be different for different people. Some have some lengthy rules about it. Others qualify activity. In the end, it seems like it should have something to do with emulating our Father.

Genesis 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
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.

If we are willing to stop daily and take the time we need to communicate with our Father, likely it will be easier to sort it out for ourselves. Yahuah (Lord) loves each one of us. We are called to create something special for our own lives, and we do that in Him and with Him.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come in the hearts and minds of mankind. Let Your will be done in this earth. Deliver us from the evil that tries to rule. Send us Your provision that it 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 all the thoughts and memories of the evil done to us or by 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 $423,923,962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom of God in the hearts and minds of the people here. We need You and Your love towards the people here. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We ask all these things of You, Father, in Your name, YAH. We ask all these things of You in the name YAH Yeshuah. Amen.

One Thing Remains

As believers we all need to love one another and those around us. There is no need to be in constant turmoil. We are meant to be at peace with our Father through His Son our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We are meant to be at peace with our fellow man. There are so many chances in life to have challenges between people. All we need to do is just not struggle. The best idea I can think of right now is just to pray.

Romans 12:14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

Let’s do all we can to live in peace.

Prayer

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.

Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all the good that has been eaten, taken away, or held back in any way from your people, and the more besides.

We ask all these things of You, Father, in Your name, YAH. WE assk all these things in the name YAH Yeshuah. Amen.

Giving Thanks

We offer thanks to our Father for all He has done for us because He is who He is. It becomes a challenge to determine how to even wrap our arms around all that He has done, or even how to begin to thank Him enough. In the end, we do so by carefully weighing our options – or by abandoning those thoughts and just praising and thanking Him for being Him. Here is a good description.

Psalms 113:1 Praise ye the Lord. Praise, O ye servants of the Lord, praise the name of the Lord.Praise ye…: Heb. Hallelujah
2 Blessed be the name of the Lord from this time forth and for evermore.
3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the Lord’s name is to be praised.
4 The Lord is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.
5 Who is like unto the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high,
6 Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!
7 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;
8 That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.
9He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the Lord.

Today, let’s remember to praise Him.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here in the hearts and minds of mankind. Let Your will be done in this earth just as it is in heaven where all the stars, and the moon and the sun proclaim Your majesty. We love You, Father. Send us today Your overwhelming provision that it 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 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 toward us. Only You can make these things happen. We need you to restore our hearts and minds to You. We need You. We need You now. And we love You for all You have done. Praise the name YAH! Send in quickly the $423,923,962.53. Restore unto Your people seventy times sevenfold all that has been eaten or 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 (Jesus). We ask all these things of You, Father, in Your name YAH. We ask all these things in the name YAH Yeshuah. Amen.

Heart Surgery

This morning as I type in the semi-darkness of the hotel room, trying not to wake my family, I think about the heart of man. Each of us is responsible to examine our hearts and minds to see what we need to change to be more like our Father.

Ephesians 4:22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

We see that God is righteousness and true holiness. We have to put on this new man. We have to take action, even if that action is like David, to cry out to our Father.

Psalms 51:9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.right: or, constant
11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.
13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.

This may not seem like spiritual warfare to some. As a young man I thought of spiritual warfare as mostly external, as something I did for someone else somewhere else. But truly, scriptures show that just taking a stand is in fact spiritual warfare.

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.
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.

Keep It Simple

Today, I want to do just that – keep it simple. Let’s just all help one another.

1 John 4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
19 We love him, because he first loved us.
20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

Let us love God and one another, and build one another up.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here in the hearts and minds of mankind. Let Your will be done here in this earth just as it is in heaven, so perfectly. 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 in our hearts and minds, and in this earth. We are only human and need You desperately. Send in quickly the $423,923,962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom.

We ask all these things of You, Father, in Your name YAH. We ask all these things in the name YAH Yeshuah. Amen.

Working On Memories

In the US, this is the day when we remember all those that have been in the military service of the country. In years gone by, it has always been an important day for me because, although I was never in the service, I felt like I wanted to honor those that were. Of late, I have begun to change my position a bit on military service. I find myself more concerned for those that have served, for what they live with of what they saw and heard and were forced to do. I think one concern for me is that I find myself wanting there to be peace in this earth, peace between all societies and within all societies, and even more so, peace with God. We do live in a fallen state, no doubt. But perhaps if we just keep praying, we can get to the peace with God part for the planet soon. Pray for Peace. That is my prayer.

In the meantime, I do thank all those that have spent time in the military. Without them, this country would be under even greater bondage, as would the world.

Psalms 122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.
7 Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.
8 For my brethren and companions’ sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.
9 Because of the house of the Lord our God I will seek thy good.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your will be done here as it is in heaven, and let Your kingdom come here in the hearts and minds of mankind. Send us today Your overwhelming provision that it 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 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 toward us. Deliver us from the evil here. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all that has been eaten or taken or held back in any way, and the more besides. Send in quickly the $423,923,962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom of God in this earth. Help us today, Father, that we might serve You and be more like You. We love You. Please watch over those in harms way in the military, and those at the ready. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We ask all these things of You, Father, in Your name YAH. WE ask all these things of You in the name YAH Yeshuah. Amen.

Comfort In Believing

When I think of comfort, I think of feeling good, a warm blanket on a cold day, sunshine through a window, or a child’s laughter. When there is a lack of peace within me, I lack comfort. It would seem then that really, comfort comes from within me. It’s like a choice. For me, this greater comfort comes in spending time with our Father, talking, praying, singing, and giving thanksgiving to Him. All these things are a source of comfort. All these things are a choice. The letter to the Hebrews helps me to see the choice to be made in my heart and my mind.

Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

If we choose to believe that He is and that He is on our side, and try to visualize that in our minds, we can be comforted anywhere.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH. Let Your kingdom come here in the hearts and minds of mankind. Let Your will be done here as it is in the heavens. Send us today Your overwhelming provision that it might overflow from us 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. 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. Send in quickly the $423,923,962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom of God in the earth. Deliver us from the evil that would attempt to prevail against us. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all that has been taken, eaten, or help back in any way from your people of that which is good, and the more besides. We assk all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We ask all these things of You, Father, in Your name YAH. We ask all these things in the name YAH Yeshuah. Amen.

Getting To The End

We all have to hold on to what we know and what we believe. But both of these have to be subjected to our one on one relationship with our Father. We have access to our Father, in the most positive way, through the sacrifice of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus) on the cross. What we have before us is a journey where we spend time with our Messiah Yeshuah and our Father. This, I believe, is one of the reasons for the Sabbath.

1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

Hebrews 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Therefore, we can make it to the end, if we will simply try.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here to the hearts and minds of mankind. Let Your will be done here as perfectly as it is in heaven. Send us today 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 seventy times seven fold all the good that has been taken or held back in any way, and the more besides. We love love You. Send in quickly the $423,923,962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom of God here in this earth. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We ask all these things of You, Father, in Your name YAH. We ask all these things of You in the name YAH Yeshuah. Amen.

Pressing On

Yesterday was one of those days when God gave me a clear vision of something important. Actually a couple things, but one was personal for me, though it has broad application. I could see clearly that the events that occurred to the lineage of Abraham in the scriptures were an unfolding of our Father’s plan. These things were just going to happen. The reaction to these things by them was their demonstration of their belief in God not only as existing, but as God on their side, or not. This is true for everyone, really. In my case, I saw me moving through life. If I chose to believe that God would do what He said in the scriptures, I could be at peace. This was a brief vision, or better said a couple visions, with an understanding, Scriptures support this without question. The Messiah spoke of having faith.

Luke 17:5 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.
6 And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.
7 But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?
8 And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?
9 Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.
10 So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.

We see here that this is just what we are expected to do. Our Father has declared the end from the beginning. We just have to believe, plant our faith with our speaking and actions, and walk through our Father bringing it to pass. We need to press on.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here in the hearts and minds of mankind.

Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us.

Restore unto Your people seventy times seven fold all that has been taken or held back in any way, and the more besides. Restore right relationships among Your people. Send in quickly the $423,923,962.53 that we might all use it to spread the kingdom of God here in the hearts and minds of mankind. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We ask all these things of You, Father, in Your name YAH, knowing that You hear us. We ask all these things in the name YAH Yeshuah. Amen.
