Thank You

Some things are worth repeating.

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.
4 To him who alone doeth great wonders: for his mercy endureth for ever.

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

Praise Is A Weapon

When we praise, we are doing battle against darkness.

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.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are our King! Praise the name Yahuah! Let Your will be done here. Send us today Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins, and help us all forgive those that have sinned against us. Deliver us from evil. Restore unto Your people all that has been taken or held back in any way. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Dreams And Visions

Our Father desires to speak with and to us. Often He communicates in dreams and visions.

Acts 2:16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

When this happens, we have something to base our prayers on with the Father. These dreams and visions are a revelation to us of His will.

1 John 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
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.

Our Messiah spoke to us regarding how we should address asking things of our Father.

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.

Yeshuah (Jesus) did place one stipulation on receiving from God what we ask when we ask in the next verses.

Mark 11:25 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 called to be images and likenesses of our Father. More than anything, He is love. He dies for us that we might live; He died for our sins that we might have life. He did this because He is a God of mercy.

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.
4 To him who alone doeth great wonders: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Today, let us cry out to the Father, the One that is love, who gives mercy, in forgiveness for ourselves and others.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are our King. Praise the name Yahuah! You alone are worthy of all praise and honor. You are our God, a God of love, forgiveness, and mercy. Let Your will be done here among us. Send us Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our trespasses, and help us to forgive all those that have trespassed against us. Help us to be merciful and full of compassion and love, just as You are. Heal our hearts and minds. Deliver us from the evil and the conspiracies against us, against Your will, and against Your ways. Strike down all that comes against Your people. Rise up, O King, and destroy these works, beginning today. Release Your ministering spirits to war for Your ways against the evil conspiracies. Show Yourself strong, not for us, but for Your words and will in this earth. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Praising Our Father

There is a joy that is always available to those of us that believe. It is offering up our praise to the Father.

Psalms 117:1 O praise the Lord, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people.
2 For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the Lord endureth for ever. Praise ye the Lord.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are King! Bless the name Yahuah. Let Your will be done here. Send us now 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 around us. Restore unto Your people all that has been taken or held back, or broken apart. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Praying For One Another

Our Father always makes a way for us to be with Him. If we stray from His way, He makes a way back for us. Often, that is through prayer for others. We are encouraged to do this time and again in scriptures.

Ephesians 5:19 speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, 20giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, 21 submitting to one another in the fear of God.

And our Father has shown that e responds to suc prayers for one another.

Daniel 2:16 Then Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would give him time, and that he would shew the king the interpretation.
17 Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions:
18 That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.

Daniel had the attitude towards God of a man that needed repentance and restoration. He did not see himself as better than his brethren, but someone in need.

Daniel 9:19 O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; defer not, for thine own sake, O my God: for thy city and thy people are called by thy name.
20 And whiles I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the Lord my God for the holy mountain of my God;
21 Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation.

We see that God responds to those with a broken and contrite heart. He always has, and always will. It is in His nature to do this, because He loves us and desires all men to turn to Him.

1 Timothy 2:1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

Today, let us all confess our sins to our Father, and the sins of our nation, that our Father might hear and save us, making us whole.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King! Praise the name Yahuah! Let Your will be done here. Send us today Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins. Create in us clean and healed hearts. Renew Your Spirit within us. Restore all that has been taken, cast down, or held back in any way from Your people. We ask all these things in the name of Jesus (Yeshuah) our Messiah. Amen.

Sabbath Thoughts

Sometimes I prefer to just read scriptures and meditate on them.

Psalms 92:1 It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:
2 To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,
3 Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound.
4 For thou, Lord, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
5 O Lord, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are our King! Praise the name Yahuah! Let Your will be in the earth. Give us Your 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. Restore unto Your people all that has been taken or held back in any way. We ask all these things in teh name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

God’s Callings

When our Father calls to someone, calling them to play a certain role in His plan, He makes that way possible. As I was reading in Samuel, this seemed so evident to me.

1 Samuel 2:1 And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the Lord, mine horn is exalted in the Lord: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation.
2 There is none holy as the Lord: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God.
3 Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.
4 The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength.
5 They that were full have hired out themselves for bread; and they that were hungry ceased: so that the barren hath born seven; and she that hath many children is waxed feeble.
6 The Lord killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up.
7 The Lord maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up.
8 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s, and he hath set the world upon them.
9 He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.
10 The adversaries of the Lord shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the Lord shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.

Hannah learned first hand that life is about the plans of God, not the plans that we devise. God makes His plan come to pass. Always. Wisdom on our part is to acknowledge to Him when we fall short, and seek His direction to restore us to His path and His plan.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King! Praise the name Yahuah! Let Your will be done here among us Father. We love You. Send us today Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us for our many transgressions, and help us to forgive those that have transgressed against Restore healing and wholeness to our hearts and minds. Deliver us from evil. Restore unto Your people 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.

Thankfulness

This morning as I awoke I found myself ever so thankful to our Father for all He does for us. He provides us with true firends and family, people that love us through thick and thin. These people are a true reflection to us of Him. He gives us all our needs. There is nothing we can do without Him.

Matthew 6:27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?

When we can come to more fully realize this statement from our Messiah, we begin to learn wisdom, I believe. God does things for us not because we are worthy, but because He is worthy. He takes steps to promote His kingdom. His kingdom is one of love and mercy. His greatest attribute is that of love. Not like we love, but unconditional love. For us humans, that is hard to understand. We seem to somehow always have conditions. He does not. He calls us to be like him.

Today, let our hearts show thankfulness towards Him for His love and mercy.

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.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King! Praise the name Yahuah! Let Your will be here with us. Send us today Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our trespasses, and help us all to forgive those that trespass against us. Heal and cleanse our hearts and minds. Restore unto Your people all that has been taken or held back in any way. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Angels Unaware

Have you ever been in a situation where someone appeared that you did not expect, and with them came help? After the event, they were no where to be found. The scriptures speak about this subject.

Hebrews 13:1 Let brotherly love continue.
2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

Many I have spoken with have such a story. I know that I have had this experience on several occassions myself. Our Father, always looking out for us, will send His ministering spirits, angels, to do battle for us.

Daniel 10:9 Yet heard I the voice of his words: and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I in a deep sleep on my face, and my face toward the ground.
10 And, behold, an hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands.
11 And he said unto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright: for unto thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling.
12 Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words.
13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.

When we pray, our Father responds. In the spirit realm, the battle begins. Sometimes the Father has to dispatch even more troops to overcome the evil one. It is important therefore for us to stand fast, and wait upon Yahuah (Lord). He battles for us. Our Father never loses.

God will deliver us.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King! Praise the name Yahuah! Send Your ministering spirits, the angles of the host, to usher in Your will in this earth. Send us today Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have transgressed against us. Wash clean our hearts and minds, and heal us. Deliver us from the evil. Restore unto Your people one hundredfold all that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people. Arise, O King, and destroy the weapons and the works of the weapons formed against us. Do a mighty work, that all men might know that You alone have done these great things. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Make Our Petitions Known

Our Father loves to hear from His children. He repeatedly encourages us in scripture to call out to Him, promising to hear and answer. And we should not only ask for those things that we feel we need, but for those things others need as well.

Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.
5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.
6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

When we call out to God for those in need, offering our prayers with thanksgiving, He will give us His peace.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King! Praise the name Yahuah! Let Your will be done in this earth. Send us today Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our transgressions and help us all to forgive those that have transgressed against us. Heal and cleanse the hearts and minds of Your people. Restore unto Your people all that has been taken or held back in any way. Rise up King, and destroy all the weapons that have been formed against us and let none of them prosper, no matter how great or small they might seem. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
