Rebuilding Takes Time

Headaches in the morning are no fun. Waking up to one is especially so. So it was this morning for me. After getting up it came and went. As I was waking up I was facing spiritual warfare, I believe. It was unclear. But as I prayed, there came a peace. We have only our Father in heaven to turn to and that through His Son our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). But we can all be in prayer for each other at any and all times. When we cry out to our Father for each other, we help each other build, and when necessary, rebuild.

Ephesians 6:17 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;

We do have hope. Our hope is in God. He delivers us from all unrighteousness. He is our healer and deliver. In Him do we trust.

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 heaven, where the sun, moon, and stars count the days. Send us now Your provision, that we might be filled to overflowing and overflow to those around us. 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 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 and Your love toward us. Help us, Father, to know Your will for us daily. Help us to make our ways Your ways. We need wisdom and understanding, and that in abundance. Only You can make these things happen. Cover for Your people, and use Your power to set things right in the earth. So much is happening at all times here. Thank You for being our Father, and being willing to forgive us our transgressions. Send in quickly the $424,523,962.53 to help people here. Thank you for the gifts You give to us. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all that has been eaten or taken or held back in any way from Your people, and the more besides. Deliver us from evil, lift us from the dust, and set us on the high places that we might be a sign of Your glory and that we might proclaim Your truth. 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.

Seek The Kingdom

Trying to understand all that we have in front of us we can sometimes be in too much of a hurry to get into the things of life that we see as important. The message of our Father has always been the same. He wants our hearts to be with Him. Very simple. We can make that happen if we remember the kingdom of God is in our hearts.

Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

God’s righteousness is of faith.

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:
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

We know therefore that He is our King, that through faith we came become the righteousness of God in our Messiah Yeshuah.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your will be done here in this earth as it is in heaven where all things do as You have established them. Let Your kingdom come in the hearts of mankind. Send us today Your overwhelming provision. Let all those that need You cry out for You today. 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. 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 all that the worm has eaten, or has been taken or held back in any way of that which is good, and the more besides. Send in quickly the $424,523,962.53 that we might care for Your people. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah. 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.

Clean Hearts

This morning as I was in prayer I sought after what YAH wanted to communicate. Visually I could see a place where people could visualize good or evil. The choosing of the good is just that – a choice. As I wondered about that moment of choosing, I recalled the simplicity that often is present when a person first gives their heart and life to God through the Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus), when they are born again.

At that moment they truly are new. We can all recall moments in the presence of God where we felt that set apart state that comes with being with Him. David wrote about this state of being.

Psalms 51:6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
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.
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.

Here we see a very good description by David of what it is that YAH is seeking. He wants us to be clean on the inside. We see that the clean heart in the inward parts helps us to find our way to the Master and Creator. We can be comforted that when we call out, our Father will hear us and cleanse us.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come into the hearts and mind of mankind. Let Your perfect will be done here 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. Do not lead us where we are tempted. Deliver us from the evil here that creeps into the hearts and minds of mankind. 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 $424,523,962.53 that we might use it to care for 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 in the name YAH Yeshuah. Amen.

Rest And Peace

We are in a day of rest today. With that day should come peace with God. Everyday we should experience peace with God because our Messiah made peace with God for us.

Isaiah 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

On the Sabbath we rest from our ordinary work. We instead reach out to people to help them, to share our lives with them, and to be at rest with them. It is a time of joy, or should be. We all need rest from life’s great flow of business. We all need to find our way to the One that created The Sabbath is a good time to study the scriptures in greater depth, to consider His works, and to understand what He has in store for us. We know that He loves us. We know that He cares for us. We know that He has given to us life and not death. He has given us the power over darkness. We can be at peace on the Sabbath if we will only trust in our Father.

As I write these things here, it is important to at least me that those reading know that I write this not as someone that has figured out how to do things perfectly. I write as someone that sees there is a place to be at with our Father, adn I long to attain that place with Him. There are both works, and not works. Reconciling those and the scriptures that explain those things is a part of what life with God is all about for us.

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. Heal our hearts and minds. Let Your perfect will be done here as it is in heaven. 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. We want to serve You well. We want to be Your people. We want to learn to forgive people. 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 of You and Your love toward us. Raise up Your people, Father, and show Yourself strong on our behalf. We long to be restored. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and the more besides. Restore what the worm has eaten. Send in quickly the $424,523,962.53 that we might use it to care for Your people. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). WE ask all these things in the name of YAH Yeshuah. WE ask all these things of You, Father, our King, in Your name YAH! Amen.

Welcome Aboard

We are on a journey with our Father toward a place where we can prevail over the winds and waves of the storms of life. Being with our Father is like being in a truly unsinkable ship, a tall tower that does not shake, or a glass-topped lake on a beautiful calm day. We can say these things because we know He is and that He takes care of us when we seek Him with our whole heart.

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.
3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
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.

We need each other, and we need to do that which is good in His sight. If we take time to examine our own hearts and minds, we can do that which is good. We can be ambassadors for His love toward us. We can do those things that He sets before us, if we will only believe.

Mark 11:21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.
22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

Today, let’s remember to bring to pass that which is good in our own hearts and minds. We need to take the time to make those things reality first. We need to serve the living God, and be His friend, and let Him be our Friend.

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 where everything proclaims You and Your works. Let Your will be done in the hearts and minds of us all, that we might be Your children here, that our hearts and minds would be the kingdom of God. Send us now Your overwhelming provision that we might not only have our needs met, but meet the needs of those around us as we can. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Renew our minds as we pursue You. We need Your love and Your blessing in our lives. Wipe away all the evil that we remember or think about that has been done to us or we have done. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You. Restore unto Your people all the good that has been eaten, taken, or held back from us, and the more besides. Send in quickly the $424,523,962.53 that all men might know that You alone are our King, and that we might care for mankind here, spreading Your kingdom into their hearts. 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.

Glimpses Of His Love

Each day we are granted chances to see just how much our Father loves us. We can of course look to the “big moment” that all believers share when our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus) bore our griefs and carried our sorrows, and was wounded for our transgressions of the Law, brought us healing, dies, and rose again.

Isaiah 53:4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

We also have His miracles in our lives everyday. We can see slight differences in the “reality” around us, indicating He has something for us. What a wonderful world we get to live in that allows us to be people that experience first hand love from our Father. It is truly joy that is hard to express.

Today, let’s all be thankful for those little moments when we get those glimpses of His love toward us.

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 all mankind. Let Your will be reflected in our actions and the actions of others, just 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 in our hearts and minds. Wipe away the thoughts and memories of the evil done to us or by us. Let us know only You and Your love toward us. We need You now. Help us, O King, for You alone are our help. Wipe away the evil that has eaten, held back or stolen from Your people, and restore this good sevenfold. Send in quickly the $424,523,962.53 that we might use it to help mankind. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We ask all these things in the name of YAH Yeshuah and Your name Father, the name YAH. Amen.

Steadfast Love

In the face of many challenges, one thing that will help us to reach success is to remain certain in our course, to remain unfailing in both our thoughts and beliefs about our Father’s calling in our lives. This applies to not only our calling, but any direction we feel He has given to us.

1 Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

And one reason we can do this is because we can know that His love toward us is steadfast.

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.

He is and will always be merciful unto us.

Psalms 136:1 O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
2 O give thanks unto the God of gods: for his mercy endureth for ever.
3 O give thanks to the Lord of lords: for his mercy endureth for ever.

23 Who remembered us in our low estate: for his mercy endureth for ever:
24 And hath redeemed us from our enemies: for his mercy endureth for ever.
25 Who giveth food to all flesh: for his mercy endureth for ever.
26 O give thanks unto the God of heaven: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Today we can see that the bond between God and man is a very great strength to us to remember His love and willingness to fight for us and redeem us from our enemies.

Let’s remain steadfast in the work He has given us to do.

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 perfectly in heaven with the sun ruling the day and the moon and the stars ruling the night. Send us now Your miraculous provision, as You always do for 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 that would plague our hearts and minds. Let us remain steadfast in Your love, walking out that which have given us to do. We love You. We do not understand all there is to know. What we do understand is that we love You, and we will need Your help and Your guidance to make a difference here. We need You to be our King. Help us to help others. Let us be Your people and share Your light in a dark and dying world. Redeem us and raise us up from the dust, setting us in high places. Restore the wealth that Moses promised. Let that blessing be here. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah. We ask all these things in the name that rules the heavens and earth, Your name Father. We ask in the name YAH for You to rise up, O King, and deliver yet today. We ask all these things in the name YAH Yeshuah. Amen.

Building Desire

We have within us the laws of God written on our hearts and minds.

Hebrews 8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.

While the old covenant was something written in stone and scrolls that man tried to do from the outside in, the new covenant is those laws written in the heart and mind. A mistake often made is that it is the Law that is the old covenant. This in not accurate. This same Law written on the heart and mind is the new covenant. The old covenant was external, the new covenant is internal. The Law is the same. This is the kingdom of God.

Luke 17:20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

We are called to build one another and ourselves up, speaking the things of God, that we might raise people up to be like our Messiah. When God converts their hearts, they will respond and do that which is in their heart. It is an ongoing work, that is in their hearts and transforming their lives. We continue to study scripture to learn about what is contained there, but it is the personal time in prayer, praise, and conversation with the Father that we become priests after the order of Melchisedec. That priesthood is one of the heart being turned toward God, and of laying down one’s life.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here into the hearts of mankind. Let Your will be done here on earth as it is in heaven, where the sun, moon, and the stars show Your perfect will without fail. Send us today Your abundant provision that we might also 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 that tries to come between us all. Restore our hearts and minds that we might more fully turn them to you. If You heal us and wipe away our thoughts and memories of evil done to us or by us, we shall be cleansed and healed. My King, only You can prevail in these times. I call to You now to help us to be what You have called us to be that we might receive more fully the blessings promised. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We ask all these things in the name that is dear to us Father, Your name YAH. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah, YAH Yeshuah. Amen.

Scriptures Align

It is interesting to me when there is a disagreement about perceived differences in scriptures. If we accept the scriptures as true, at least in the original languages that we have, then disagreements that arise from a difference about understandings of certain scriptures become questionable. It would seem that the real question must be, under what conditions could both of these (or all of these) scriptures be true? Each scripture is a part of a whole. What does the whole look like?

2 Timothy 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

We see here that Paul admonished Timothy to continue in the holy scriptures. Today many believers would call these the “Old Testament”. Yet, it is these scriptures that were able to make Timothy wise unto salvation through faith (knowing He is God and that He is a rewarder of those that seek Him) in Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus Christ). It states here that all scriptures are given by inspiration. They therefore must work together.

Be encouraged today as you move forward.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come in the hearts of mankind. Let Your will be done here as it is in heaven, where the sun and the moon have their calling that does not fail. Send us now Your overwhelming provision that we might share it with those around us. Deliver us from the evil that keeps us in unforgiveness. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed of transgressed against us. Wipe away 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. Help us to love one another, as You have loved us. Help us to lay down our lives for one another. Rise up, my King, and send Michael to defeat the enemy and his minions. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all that has been taken or held back in any way of that which is good, and the more besides. Send in quickly the $424,523,962.53 that we might care for Your people. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We ask all these things in Your name, Father, the name YAH. We ask all these things in the name of YAH Yeshuah. Amen.

Deliverance Is Coming

This morning in prayer, I was asking God what would be the best message I could share to comfort people today. It is the same message that I give myself. Deliverance is coming. There is a song by Rich Mullins that really helps to convey this comfort. You can here it by clicking here. For now, I will also add this scripture.

Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.

Let us rejoice in our Messiah today.

Isaiah 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.
4 And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come in the hearts of mankind everywhere. Let Your will be done here among us as it is done perfectly in the heavens. Send us now Your overwhelming provision that is 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 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 and Your love toward 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. Send in quickly the $424,523,962.53 that we might care for the people. We ask all these things of You in Your Name, Father, the name of YAH. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We ask all these things in the name YAH Yeshuah. Amen.
