Answers Come

YAH gives us answers when we ask. We must ask according to His will. If we believe that what is written in scripture is His will, then if we pray scripture, we can rest in knowing that He has heard us and will do it.

1 John 5:14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

One of our challenges is that it is so easy to not believe, to doubt. But if we can believe, all things are possible.

Mark 9:17 And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;
18 And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not.
19 He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.
20 And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.
21 And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child.
22 And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.
23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.
26 And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.
27 But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.

So on this Sabbath day, let us cry out to our Father, and let us all believe.

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. 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. Wipe away completely any and all thoughts or memories of evil done to us or by us. Heal our hearts and minds perfectly, washed and whitened to perfection, that all men and physicians be in awe. Restore one hundredfold all the good in relationships, possessions, and all prosperity, that which is good that has been taken or held back in any way, and the more besides. Rise up, my KIng, and strike at the root of the the destroyer’s work, delivering Your people in a mighty way this day. 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. Amen.

Making A Way

There is always a path for us to traverse as believers, a path set before us by our Father. We can choose to go down His path, or we can choose a different path. Moses had something to say about this choice.

Deuteronomy 30:16 In that I command thee this day to love the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the Lord thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.
17 But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them;
18 I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it.
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:
20 That thou mayest love the Lord thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.

We are free to choose. And yet, there is more to it. We have an enemy that tries to deceive us, that tries to pull us away from the path that the Father has laid before us. We know that we can choose either path, yet there is the war within us at times to choose the wrong way. Much of life is about learning to choose the Father’s path.

Today, let us say and sing praises to the Father.

Today, let us choose life!

Simply Thanks

This morning as I sat thinking about what to be thankful for today, I was overwhelmed as I tried to focus on any one thing. Probably for many of us, if we were to try to narrow our focus to just one thing to thank our Father for today, it would take some work. Thinking about what writers in scripture have said, I was able to see why there are times when they simply say, thank you.

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.

It is good to ponder the topic of thankfulness. It helps us to come full circle back to the one that has set us apart from others, our Father. Let us all be thankful today.

Intent To Fruition

Throughout life we can have thoughts that we will do this or that someday. This approach can prove fruitful. For many believers that I have spoken with, however, this approach is less than effective. It often has resulted in people getting to later in life wishing they had done more, wishing that they had taken the time to make something happen in their lives that simply did not happen, largely because they did not make it happen. I know this is true for me. There are many things that have not happened in my life simply because I did not make them happen. But the great thing about serving our Father is this, there is always today. We can make things happen starting today, if we will try.

Philippians 3:9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.

Today I will do some of what I know I can do. My Father helps me, and He will help you to, if you ask.

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. We need You Father. Send us today Your overwhelming provision. Thank you for Your forgiveness and mercy. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Remove and completely wipe away any and all thoughts or memories of evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You. Heal us from the inside. Deliver us from the evil here. Restore pne hundredfold all the good that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and the more besides, as in the day of the Exodus from Egypt. Rise up, my King, and hear my cries, that Your people might repent and turn to You, that You would show Yourself strong on our behalf. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). I ask these things of You, Father, in Your name, YAH. Amen.

Follow Through Is Building

In the grand scheme of things, when we say we need to follow through with something, we are really talking about building something. Let’s think about it for a minute. Follow through implies something about the past, the future, and the now. There is something that started in the past. We are trying to get it to some state in the future. And we are talking about what we are going to do about it right now. Definitely sounds like building something, something that does not yet exist, from where we are right now. And it also sounds like follow through. Finishing something we start is follow through, and it is building.

Galatians 6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

Let’s keep pressing on until the last day.

Restore one hundredfold all the good that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and the more besides. Let it be as in the days of the Exodus, Father. 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. Amen.

Early Morning Blessings

This morning after not feeling well for two days our Father had me get up for the sunrise. As I sipped my first cup of coffee I looked into the back yard of my house and saw an adult and three good sized young turkeys walking across my yard. This is the first time they have ever entered the fenced in area near my home. Shortly there after my dog ran outside and chased them away. But it was interesting to watch them move through the yard. It reminded me that they are a sign of abundance. It will be interesting to watch over the coming days to see just what our Father is saying in His creation.

Isaiah 60:5 Then you shall see and become radiant,
And your heart shall swell with joy;
Because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you,
The wealth of the Gentiles shall come to you.

So we see that wealth is on the way. Our Father never fails.

Friends Beginning

Today some friends of ours started new beginnings. It was a remarkable thing to see. Two people that had been broken before came together to love one another in a very special way. That was truly remarkable to see. The person that presided over the ceremony did a very good job of describing the covenant that the two of them were making with each other. He mentioned that their marriage was built on the commitments they made to each other at the beginning. This is true. Sadly, for many, perhaps even for most, these commitments are forgotten by one or both parties. And when they are not kept, that foundation is broken. Then everything they build is built upon a broken foundation.

Matthew 7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

We ask all these things of You, Father, in Yoru name, YAH. Amen.

Needed Rest

This Sabbath day I awoke ill. Having spent too many hours in the cold, I found myself in a most run down condition and had to rest all day. Mostly I slept all day, or just sat still. But rest is still good, and I was able to get needed sleep.

Psalms 62:5 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.
6 He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.
7 In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
8 Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.

Let us trust in our God.

Prayer

Just Keep Looking

There are days that start out super busy. And then there are days that start out slower. But every day is one more chance to find another moment with God. By that I mean it seems odd to me that as humans we wake up with thoughts about this world and what we are doing in it. If we are truly here because our Father placed us here and we have a mission that He has given to us, then it seems that should be our frame of reference. We should be seeing the world from the perspective of our Father’s goals and plans and not our own. But then, how does one do that exactly? This is a very important question to at least ask, and hopefully answer. A part of the answer has to be in what has been written in scripture.

Psalms 63:1 O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;
2 To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.
3 Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.
4 Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.
5 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:
6 When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.
7 Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.

The other part comes when we are doing this part. When we rise up early to seek our Father, we interact with Him. In that interaction He provides us with direction. And we do that each day.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your 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. Wipe away our thoughts and memories of evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You. Heal us from the inside out. Restore unto Your people one hundredfold all the good, the provision, the relationships that have 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 of You, Father, in Your name, YAH. Amen.

Attitude Of The Heart

We believers have the amazing ability to approach life very differently from the time when we were not believers. We get to make choices and operate from a clean slate. That alone would be something to be very thankful for to our Father. But then, we also are given a guarantee that He will give us wisdom to make good choices.

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.

And if that were not enough to be thankful, there is the promise that ultimately, everything will be okay.

Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

So we can be thankful for all that has been done, what is happening now, and what will ultimately happen in the future.

We can count on our Father to do all that He has said He will do.

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. 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. Wipe away our thoughts and memories of evil done to us and by us. In the empty place that remains let there be only thoughts and memories of You. Heal us up inside and outside. Restore right relationships between and for Your people. Let them be the head and not the tail. Let them lend and not borrow. Restore unto Your people all the possessions and prosperity that have been taken or held back in any way, and the more besides. Show us a sign for good that all men might know that You alone are God. 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! Amen.
