Thankful For Forgiveness

This morning in prayer I was thanking Yahuah (Lord) for His mercy and His forgiveness. As I meditated on this, I realized that many times I wanted people to extend mercy toward me and they had not. It gave me opportunity to struggle with bitterness. I thought, “Wouldn’t it be great if everyone just forgave each other?” The it hit me. I was guilty of the very same thing. And, I was now aware of it. Actually, I could start this new trend. I could let it begin with me, as our Messiah told us.

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.
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.

We are meant to forgive each other. We are meant to be at peace with one another. Today I suggest we all cry out to our Father and ask His help in forgiving others, for that is definitely forgiveness worth being thankful for today.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name Yahuah! Let us be Your lights in this earth. Send us today Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those that trespass against us. Heal our hearts and minds. Deliver us from the evil. Restore all that has been taken, held back, or broken apart in any way from Your people. Thank you, my King! You alone are King! We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Listening To The Spirit

We are children of God. Scriptures make this very clear. We are meant to serve Him, not as slaves, but as a child honors their parents. It is this service that is important to our Father, because then He works through us to accomplish good for us and for all. It is this very service that becomes spiritual warfare. We become one of His spiritual lights.

Matthew 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

By doing the things of God, we shine the light that He has given unto us. Light dispels darkness. Perhaps doiing good to all men is one of the most important acts of spiritual warfare that we will ever do.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King! Praise the name Yahuah! Let us be Your lights of Your will in this earth. Send us today Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our trespasses, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed against us. Heal our hearts and minds. Deliver us from the evil that is here. Defeat the work of those that would cause any harm to Your people, confound and confuse it. Rise up as Daniel said, not for our righteousness, but for Your mercies. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

When We Build

This morning as I was praying about what to write about building, one facet of building came to mind more than others. The idea of the building inspector. In a spiritual sense, who is our building inspector? Us, Jesus… who exactly. The more I thought about it I came up with – all of the above. We know that God watches over us at all times.

Psalms 121:1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.I will…: or, Shall I lift up mine eyes to the hills? whence should my help come?
2 My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.
3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.

Yahuah (Lord) does not even sleep, He is watching over us so much. So for sure, He is an Inspector, for good. But He is also the Builder with us.

Psalms 127:1 Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

Finally, if that was not enough, God has given unto us the Holy Spirit that we might be able to learn correctly how to build.

John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

So today when we build, let’s reach out to our Father to teach us how to build the proper way, knowing that He is with us to guide us in our work, and back to the blueprints if we err.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King! Praise the name Yahuah! Let us be Your lights to shine Your will in this earth. Send us today Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our trespasses, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed against us. Heal our hearts and minds. Deliver us from the evil here. Rise up, O my King! Strike down the works of evil that have come against Your people. Restore unto Your people all that has been taken, held back, or broken apart in any way from Your people, and the more besides, that all men might know that You alone have done these things. We assk all this in the name of Jesus, our Messiah Yeshuah. Amen.

Giving Grace

Today in prayer I was convicted by the Spirit for not extending grace to others as I should. Asking the Father for forgiveness, I thought more on the subject. It is easier to get caught up in the moment and become upset, sometimes, than it is to remember that everyone else is just like us. I know I cry out for mercy and grace everyday, sometimes all day. Why would I not want to extend that to others, right? Being human, I, too, sometimes fail in the giving grace department. Fortunately, our Father is not that way. He gives grace to us all.

2 John 1:3 Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

Today it is my prayer that we all can be more like the Father, giving mercy and grace to those around us.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King! Praise the name Yahuah! Let your will be done in this earth. Send us now Your overwhelming blessing. Forgive us our trespasses, and help us all to forgive those that trespass against us. We need Your mercies and grace. Help us to extend these to those around us. Heal our hearts and minds. Deliver us from the evil here. Restore unto Your people all that has been lost, taken, held back, or broken in any way. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Helping One Another

As believers we are to work together, helping one another. There is one scripture in particular that comes to mind for me when I think of this.

Psalms 133
A Song of degrees of David.
1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!together…: Heb. even together
2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;
3 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.

May our Father keep us in His ways.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name Yahuah! Work with us, that we might be Your lights of Your will in this place. Send us Your provision. Forgive us our trespasses, and help us all to forgive those that trespass against us. Heal our hearts and minds. Restore us Father, that we might serve You. Heal us. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Scriptures For The Day

Today is another scripture day, celebrating the strength and peace of our Father.

Psalms 91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.abide: Heb. lodge
2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

Let there be peace among the people here.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King! Praise the name Yahuah! Let Your will be with us. Send us Your provision. Forgive us our trespasses and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed against us. Restore our hearts, our minds, and our relationships. Deliver us from the evil that has, is, or would rise up against us. We need You now and everyday. We ask all these things in the name of our Yeshuah (Jesus) our Messiah. Amen.

What More To Say

On this day, I think just a simple scripture is in order, for our Father has surely been at work, and always will be.

Psalms 135:19 Bless the Lord, O house of Israel: bless the Lord, O house of Aaron:
20 Bless the Lord, O house of Levi: ye that fear the Lord, bless the Lord.
21 Blessed be the Lord out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye the Lord.

Today, let us bless our Father who gives us our very lives. He is our All in All.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King! Bless the name Yahuah! Send Your light and will among us. Send us today Your provision. Forgive us our transgressions, as we forgive those that transgress against us. Heal our hearts and minds. Restore unto Your people health and peace. Let there be peace among us, and help us to focus on You. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

So Worthy Of Praise

As I thought about all God has done and is doing, it seemed more than I could really comprehend. I found myself wanting to praise Him for all He has done for me and my family.

Psalms 135:1 Praise ye the Lord. Praise ye the name of the Lord; praise him, O ye servants of the Lord.
2 Ye that stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God,

We can take this one step further, and we can praise Yahuah just for who He is. When we stop to think, He is in fact the one who gave us everything and makes all things possible.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King! Praise the name Yahuah! Let Your will be with us. Send us Your provision now. Forgive us our trespasses, and help us to forgive those that have trespassed against us. Heal up our hearts and minds. Restore Your people. Deliver us from the evil here. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

He Fights For Us

In spiritual warfare, we believers often want to jump in and be involved. SOmetimes that is good. At other times, our Father calls us to just stand and praise Him, and watch Him defeat our enemies.

Exodus 14:13 And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
14 The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
This was the story of how God defeated the army of Egypt as the children of Israel watched Him defeat them.

There is also a great song to this effect.

Today, let us stand and sing, “I am a child of God.”

Prayer
Father we exalt You. You alone are our King! Praise the name Yahuah! Let Your will be done in this earth. Send us now Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our trespasses, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed against us. Heal up the hearts and minds of Your people, from the youngest child to the oldest among us. Restore unto Your people all that has been taken or held back in any way, whether it be prosperity, relationships, health, or any other thing. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Blessings Do Come

It is so easy to get caught up in “everyday” life. The hustle and bustle of work, chores, events, etc. But to focus on them solely is to not focus on what is most important.

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

Interestingly enough, the “all things” are those things in life that must change to sustain our lives. These things include food, clothing, a place to stay, etc. All things that we need to change in our lives daily to survive. And we have a promise from our Messiah about His purpose in coming to earth.

John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

Today, let us be encouraged in all that our Father has done for us, and seek Him first.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are our only King. Praise the name Yahuah! Let us be Your light in this earth. Send us today Your abundant provision, that it might overflow to those around us. Forgive us our trespasses, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed against us. Heal our hearts and minds, and deliver us from the evil around us. Rise up, O King, and strike down the evil coercion and evil conspiracies that divide Your people and their relationships. Destroy this work against any of Your people. We ask all these things in the name of Jesus, our Messiah Yeshuah. Amen.
