The Little Things

Sometimes when we least expect it, our Father will give us a sign. Many of these will be little things. By little things, I mean something that, in the grand scheme of things, really doe not matter. If that something occurred or did not occur, likely it would not be noticed or make a difference. A friend of mine told me a story of something that happened to him in the last week. He was feeling a bit down from the routing of life. Stopping in a gas station in another state on his way to his destination, he went to the counter to pay. He felt the Spirit telling him to purchase a one dollar scratch off ticket. He felt strongly compelled, even though it was unusual, so he purchased the ticket. He won five dollars, and it made him smile. He did not need the money, nor was it a great deal of money, but as he left the building, he said he felt the Spirit telling him that all is well. Whether we believe that the Spirit can tell someone to purchase a scratch off ticket or not, the point remains. Our Father does so many things for us every day, if we will just stop, pray, sing Him a little tune, and look around, we will see all that He has done for us, and for the entire creation.

Matthew 6:26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Today, let’s all stop long enough to pray to our Father to see what He has in store for us. And be encouraged, because we can see that in fact He does care for us.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your will be done here in this earth just as it is in heaven, so perfectly. Let Your kingdom come here into the hearts and minds of mankind. 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. Wipe away all thoughts and memories of the evil done to us or by us. Restore unto Your people seventy times seven fold all the good that has been eaten away or taken or held back fro them in any way, and the more besides. Send in quickly the $423,923,962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom. We need You today, Father, to bless the spirits of Your people as we bless them. Let Your people be set free to do Your perfect will. We love You, and long to serve You as one friend to Another. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We ask all these things of You, Father, in Your mighty name YAH. We ask all these things in the name of YAH Yeshuah. Amen.

Mother’s Day

Today in our country is Mother’s Day. We like to use this day to honor the women that have raised children, and those that will. This is a very important part of our walk with God. He expects us all to honor our mothers.

Exodus 20:12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.

One thing is clear from this scripture. Our Father in heaven wants us to honor our parents here in this earth. Whether or not there has been issues and challenges in our lives, today, let’s all take time to honor mothers everywhere.

To all the women, regardless of age, that read this today,

Happy Mother’s Day!

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 here in this earth as it is in heaven, where the entire universe moves perfectly as You created it. Send in now 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 the thoughts or 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. Deliver us from the evil here. We need Your help. We want to be like You. We need Your strength. We love You. 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 in this earth. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all that has been taken or held back, or eaten, of that which is good, to Your people, Father. Rise up and do these things quickly, Father. We love You. Only You can help us in these times. All else is temporary. And today we ask a special blessing on all those women that have given or will give birth, and to those that women that have raised children. May they experience great joy today. 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 of YAH Yeshuah. Amen.

So Much To Study

This Sabbath day I found myself reading scriptures. Frequently these days, as I look through the scriptures, I discover more and more items “hidden” in plain sight. As someone that is interested in promoting the kingdom of God, I found a great scripture this morning.

Daniel 12:1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.

Here we can see that there is an expectation that we would turn many to righteousness. Wow. Today, let us all focus on serving our Father, and helping many find Him.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King! Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here in the hearts and minds of mankind. Let Your will be manifested here as it is in the heaven where the sun, moon, and stars show the Creator’s glory. Send us Your 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 all thoughts and memories of the evil done to us or by us, and in their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You and Your love toward us. We ask that You rise up, O King, and settle these things in the earth around us.Restore unto Your people seventy times seven fold all the good that has been eaten, 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. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We ask all these things of You, Father, in Your mighty name YAH. We ask all these things of You, Father, in the name YAH Yeshuah. Amen.

Meditations Of The Heart

Today, as I was praying about what to write, a scripture came to me. It is the last verse of Psalms 19. I have included the entire psalm here.

Psalms 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,line: or, rule, or, direction
5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
7 The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
8 The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
12 Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.
13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.

What is interesting here is that there is much said about what individual things God has established, and their purposes. In the past, I would have pretty much “run” past the things stated in these verses. But today, as I read these, I think about what we know. From the Lord’s Prayer, we know that the heaven is where our Father’s will is done, and we want the same here. We know from science that there are three areas of concentration of the nerves in the brain, the stomach, and the heart. We know from other scriptures that our Father created the heavens as a testimony to Him. WE know the moon watches over the “moedym” or high holy days. The list goes on.

Today, just when I needed to see that our Father is well capable of making complex situations work out, I find this hidden treasure in the scripture. May God be glorified today in the meditations of our hearts.

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 as it is in heaven. Send us now 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. Deliver us from the evil here. Wipe away the thoughts and memories of the evil done to us or by us. Restore unto Yoru people their position in You, Father, with thoughts and memories of only You and the good You have done for us. Deliver us from evil. Send in quickly the $423,923,962.53 that we might promote Your kingdom here in the hearts and minds of mankind. We need You and Your power in our lives. I pray for wisdom and understanding. 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.

So Much

In life there is much to be thankful for to our Father. He is our King. He is our provider. He is our deliverer. He does everything perfectly in our eyes. We can rely on Him to keep us to the end. All we need to do is to call out to Him and He will guide us. He will make certain that we have our needs met each day. He will make certain that nothing by any means harms us. The list goes on and on, and that is just for a single part of a single day out of the days of our life. Today, I want to provide this brief thought and then scripture, and encourage each person to pray and sing and give thanks to our Father.

Psalms 100 A Psalm of praise.
1 Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands.
2 Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
3 Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
5 For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

Thank You, Father, for You are good.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come to the hearts of mankind. Let Your will be done in this earth as it is in heaven. Send today Your provision, that it might overflow to those around us. Deliver us from evil here. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. We bless Your name, YAH, with all that is within us. May Your name be praised. Wipe away, blot out, and completely remove all the thoughts and memories of the evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You Let us pray for one another, that we might be healed. We need You more than ever. We thank You for Your love toward us even when we have no inkling of a reason to receive it, You still love us. Rise up, my King, rise up and deliver us from those that are against us, shutting down the dark spiritual forces that try to rule over us. Send in quickly the $423,923,962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom. Restore unto Your people seventy times seven fold all that has been eaten, or taken, or held back in any way, and the more besides, that all men might know it is You that does this. We ask all these things in the name of YAH Yeshua, our God King. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We ask all these things in the name that we know You by, Father, and we ask these things of You, in the name YAH. Amen.

Standing And Not Bending

This morning I am saddened as I think of the oppression and challenges faced by many people that long to be free. Just yesterday I heard a story of someone that is struggling with certain dependency issues. I pray for his recovery, and for the recovery of many that need to hear the truth that our Father is really on our side. When people come against us, we need to love them as best we can. That truly is the kingdom of God within us. David experienced someone that he had walked closely with turning on him. He asked our Father for help.

Psalms 55:12 For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:
13 But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.
14 We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company.
15 Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.
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.

Our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus) spoke about this issue with our brother. When another brother comes against us, we can be comforted just as David was comforted. We can know that it is our Father who will set things right.

Luke 6:41 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
42 Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother’s eye.
43 For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
44 For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.
45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.

In the end, we are called to pray for those that would deal with us poorly.

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;

Romans 12:16 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.
20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

It can be a challenge to stand in the face of evil speaking, especially when that comes from someone that claims to be a brother in the Messiah. But we are called to love one another. We can do that, with our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus) in our hearts and minds.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come in this earth into the hearts and minds of mankind. Deliver us from the evil here, Father. Let Your will be done in the 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 that is in this earth, and from the evil in the hearts and minds of us all. Wipe away these thoughts and memories, and let them be renewed with Your love and compassion. Deliver us from the evil here. Send in quickly the $423,923,962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom of God. Restore unto Your people seventy times seven fold all the good that has been eaten, 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 need You, my King. We need You to come in great strength. Send in Your angels to clear the air. We ask all these things of You in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah as well. We ask all these things of You in Your name, YAH. We ask all these things of You in the name of YAH Yeshuah. Amen.

Build Wisely

We are given a great gift from our Father. We are charged with building ourselves and one another up.

Colossians 3:15 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.

We are charged with letting the word (logos in the Greek, for logical expression)be within us. But given that we were once one way and now we are a different way, we are faced with the challenge of having wisdom. Obviously in the past, we acted out of our own thoughts and ideas. Here we see the wisdom we are to have is likened unto the logical expression of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus Christ). Now here is the really great part. Our Father promises to give us that wisdom.

James 1:5 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.

We have therefore a great gift of wisdom from our Father, and a charge to use it. Praise YAH!

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 as it is in heaven. Send us now 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. 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 and Your love toward us. Send in quickly the $423,923,962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom here. Restore unto Your people seventy times seven fold all the good that has been taken or held back in any way from Your peole, 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 assk all these things in the name of YAH Yeshuah. Amen.

Always Turn To Light

We have such an amazing, loving Father. He always cares for us, and always receives us with open arms if we will turn to Him. He loves us and wants to help us. James said some great things about this.

James 4:10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

We all make mistakes in life, because we are humans.

Romans 3:22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

We can always find our way to our Father. This has always been true. One final word from Isaiah.

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.

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, especially those that we know. Let Your will be done here perfectly, as it is in heaven where the earth listens to the sun, moon and stars. Send us Your provision today, 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. Deliver us from the evil, and heal the hearts and minds of us all. one of us can make it alone. We all need You. Please help us. Send in quickly the $423,923,962.53 that we might use it to promote Your kingdom. Restore seventy times seven fold all that has been taken or held back from Your people of that which was good, or eaten by the worm. We love You. 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.

Deliverance Is Here

We have been set free! There are times in the mix of the days, however, when we discover there are still some type of constraints around us. It is a matter, I believe, of cooperating with the Father to drive out these enemies, because these enemies are spiritual. There is evidence in the scriptures that there is something more to life with God after our salvation experience with the confession of sin and seeking forgiveness through the blood of the Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus).

Philippians 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

There is indication in this scripture that we have an obligation to do something. It is this something that may also mean we have to get free from the past. And we can. Freedom and deliverance is available to us as believers.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here in this earth. Let the hearts of men be turned to flesh from stone. Let Your will be done in this earth as it is in the heavens. 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. Send in quickly the $423,923,962.53 that we might use it to advance Your kingdom in this earth in the hearts and minds of mankind. Restore unto Your people seventy times seven fold all the good that has been eaten, 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 of You in the name YAH Yeshuah. Amen.

Wellspring of Life

This morning as I was preparing to write, this phrase came to me in the title today. I found it in the scriptures.

Proverbs 4:20 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.
21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.
22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.health: Heb. medicine
23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

Life and health are a good thing. If we keep the words of our Father in front of our eyes and in the midst of our heart, with all diligence, out will flow life.

This is good to think on this Sabbath day.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here in this earth in the hearts and minds of mankind. Let Your perfect will be done here on the earth as it is in heaven, so beautifully. Send in now Your provision, which is always abundant. 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 in quickly the $423,923,962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom here. Restore unto Your people all that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and the more besides. We love You. Be with us here and show Yourself strong on our behalf. 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.
