Round And Round

We can be comforted to know that our Father keeps the sun and moon and stars going round and round. At least, we keep moving whether they do or not. These things are meant to happen for as long as this earth shall exist.

Jeremiah 33:19 And the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah, saying,
20 Thus saith the Lord; If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season;
21 Then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers.

We can take comfort in knowing that our Father is still large and in charge!

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 now 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 all the thoughts or memories of the evil done to us or by us. Replace them with only thoughts and memories of You. Deliver us from the evil here. Restore unto Your people one hundredfold all the good that has been taken or held back in any way, and the more besides. We ask al these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Blessings Of His Name

God told Moses to have Aaron pronounce a blessing on the children of Israel. Here is that blessing.

Numbers 6:22 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
23 Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them,
24 The Lord bless thee, and keep thee:
25 The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
26 The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
27 And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them.

It is interesting to note that once that our Father said that blessing the children of Israel in this way put His name upon them, according to the last verse. Equally interesting, once His name was upon them, He blessed them. On the Sabbath, this is a good thing to reflect upon, and every day.

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 now 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 all the thoughts and memories of evil done to us and by us. Restore one hundredfold 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). Amen.

Time For Change

When we have life going in a direction that is not comfortable for us, it is a good time to stop and pray. Actually, every morning is a good morning to stop and pray. When we take time to pray, we have an opportunity for change. That change can be just in the way we see things, or it can be in the things themselves. This we only know when we take the time to pray.

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.
6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

We need to take the time to ask our Father for the wisdom we need 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 now 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 the thoughts and memories of the evil that has been done to us and by us. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You. Deliver us from the evil here. Restore unto Your people one hundredfold all that was good that has been taken or held back in any way, and the more besides. Rise up, my King, and deliver Your people now. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Getting Out There

Sometimes in life we just have to get what we feel out in the open and tell people what we are feeling. One of the most important things to express is thankfulness. This writing here is dedicated to that very idea.

Psalms 107:1 O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;
3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.
4 They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.
5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
6 Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.
7 And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.
8 Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

Prayer
Father, we exalt You! You alone are 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 the thoughts and memories of evil done to us or by us. Rplace them with only thoughts and memories of You, Father. Deliver us from the evil here. Restore unto Your people one hundredfold all that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people, 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.

Even When We Cannot See

We are not always in a position to see the details of the journey we are on in life. But then, that is not our job. That is our Father’s job. He sees and declares the end from the beginning.

Isaiah 46:9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,
10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

What we can do is reach out to Him everyday.

Psalms 55:16 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.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are 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 the thoughts and memories of evil done to us or by us. Rplace them with only thoughts and memories of You, Father. Deliver us from the evil here. Restore unto Your people one hundredfold all that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people, 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.

Can We Keep Up?

It is interesting to walk with our Father in His will and His work. He is so very loving and gracious. The trick is we need to keep moving. He will always come to us when we call, but we also need to be moving in His direction.

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.
13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

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 now Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Heal us from the inside out. Deliver us from the evil here. Restore one hundredfold all that good 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 (Jesus). We ask these things of You, Father, in Your name, the name YAH. Amen.

Working On It

We are all working to get to a certain goal in life. It may be as simple as just living each day until we have no more days. Or it could be to achieve certain financial, material, educational, or professional goals. While any of this we are free to do, for some of us I believe there is something else. WE feel drawn to something more than these considerations. This is not to put these down or dismiss or demean these in any way. For some of us, we know that there is something else. I suggest that it might be that we are to follow our Father and His path. We are to be close to Him.

Psalms 42:1 As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.
2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?
3 My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?
4 When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.
5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.

We have the option in life to pursue our Father and His ways, or not. We know that in His way there is help. We need only follow that way. We need only realize that the longing inside of us is to follow Him and His way.

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. Remove and utterly wipe away all thoughts or memories of evil done to us or by us. Replace them with thoughts and memories of only You. Deliver us from the evil here. Turn the hearts of men to hear You Father. Give us Your favor today, and move men today. We assk all these things in the name of our Father YAH – You my God and King! We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Helping One Another

There is a saying that is of uncertain origin. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Some attribute it to Einstein. Regardless, it is pretty smart. The obvious conclusion we can draw from this is that to get different results we must take different actions. If we are to help one another, then what does that look like? I suggest it looks like us acting differently to help others act differently. If we tell the truth in mercy, then we will succeed in helping in the long run.

Proverbs 3:3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
4 So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

Sometimes we as humans have a difficulty with change. We do what we know because it does not disrupt our thinking. Our thinking compels us to action. There is a thinking-acting cycle. If we disrupt one we disrupt the other. To change the results, more often than not we have to change the actions. To change the actions, we have to change the thinking. To help our friends and loved ones, we have to help them disrupt their thinking acting cycle. If we truly love someone, we will do that.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are the 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 transgressed or trespassed against us. Wipe away all thoughts or memories of evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be thoughts and memories of only You. Heal us from the inside. Restore unto Your people one hundredfold all the good that has been taken or held back in any way, and the more besides. Rise up while it is called today, my King, and deliver Your people. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We ask these things of You, Father, in praise and honor of Your name and in Your name, YAH. Amen.

YAH Is Ready – Are We?

Lately so many thoughts have come to my mind about how we have been trained to look at life around us. We observe life with certain expectations and therefore it turns out that way. The same is true of scriptures. We have been taught to look at them in certain ways. And then they show up in those ways. As a result of a spiritual awakening that is happening for me and others, I am “seeing” things differently. And life is showing up differently. This is spoken of frequently in scriptures.

Mark 11:22 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.

Today on the Sabbath, let us remember to ask our Father how He wants us to see things.

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 now 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 all thoughts or memories of the evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You, Father. Heal us inside and outside. Help us to heal the earth. Restore one hundredfold all that is good that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and the more besides. Rise up now, my King! Reign! Let Your reign begin in our hearts, our minds, our bodies, and our property. Show Yourself strong now. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We all these things in Your name Father, the name YAH! Amen.

Reviving Revival

It is not an uncommon thing to hear about revival in the Christian community. For the most part the story of revival comes to us as just that, a story from another day and time. This morning as I was considering this point, I realized that I was considering just revival on a grand, group scale. But the the thought came to me that revival really can happen at the individual level. The more I considered this, the more I realized that it should really begin with me. Ultimately, I can only be involved in revival for myself. Maybe a better way to say it is I need to be responsible for me. For sure, I am not responsible to God for other people’s relationships with Him. As I am reading what I wrote, it seems a bit cluttered.

Proverbs 3:1 My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
2 For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
4 So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.
8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

Being human, it is easy for us to lose focus and walk in a way that is not pleasing to our Father. In each of those moments, we have a chance at revival. At each of those moments we can revive our hearts, and cry out to our Father that our hearts would be purified to guard His commandments within our hearts. We need Him.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are our King! Praise the name Yah! Let Your will be done here as it is in heaven. Give 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 all of the thoughts and memories of evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be thoughts and memories of only You. Heal us on the inside, then heal us on the outside. Restore one hundredfold all that is good that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and the more besides. Hear our cry, Father. Revive our hearts. Deliver us in this life. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). WE ask these thing of You, Father, in Your name, Yah. Amen.
