Each Day Is Another Chance

In life when we can let things stack up on us. When we do, change can seem overwhelming. The dishes, the yard, the kitchen table, all of these can present challenges if we look at them from the past. By that I mean if we look at them like we are on a path that is dictated by past failure, we can be overwhelmed. But that is just when we need to set these thoughts aside and remember that we serve a very big God. He is the Creator of everything. He is able to do far above what we ask or think. We need to ask Him to help us anew.

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.
24 The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
25 The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.

When we see things without the trail of the negatives of the past, they become possible to accomplish We are meant to have this view, and our Father will help us with all He gives us to do.

We CAN accomplish what we are given to do.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King! Praise the name Yahuah! Let us bring Your kingdom to the earth. Help us to not feel overwhelmed, but be victorious. Send us Your overwhelming provision now such that we cannot contain it. Forgive us our sins. Heal us and deliver us from the thief that steals and destroys. Restore unto us Your people one hundred times one hundredfold that which has been stolen or held back. Release the wealth and prosperity to Your people. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Learning Is Good

The Sabbath is a great day to learn about our Father and the world He has created. Learning these things is good for us. It is His words and His ways that we need to experience. When we study them, we can make them a part of our life because we know them. Life can be a challenge without His guidance. As I thought about this, I thought about how we need to study to get to know Him.

2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

This is the story that has been told forever. Our Father wants us to be with Him. The Sabbath is a good day to study.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are our King. Praise the name Yahuah! Help us to be those that usher in Your kingdom here in the earth. Send us now Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins. Heal us inside, and deliver us from the one that steals and destroys. restore unto Your people one hundred times one hundredfold. We ask these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Stand Up For Truth

Recently a friend of mine encountered someone that wanted him to water down what he believed. The person wanted my friend to go with what the crowd believed. It does bring up a good question. In this situation, both of these people are believers. What does scripture say when there is a disagreement among believers?

Psalms 133
A Song of degrees of David.
1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
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.

How should my friend resolve this issue? Uncertain. It is important for sure. But is it more important than unity? What should the unity be about? Here are the challenges that he faces, and I suggest, we all face. We must be true to our Father Yahuah (Lord). We must be true to the truth.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King! We praise the name Yahuah! Help us find the way to bring the kingdom to this earth, just as it is in the heavens. Send us now Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins. Heal us and deliver us. We need you desperately. Help us find unity. Help us find You. Restore unto Your people truth, that the kingdom might go forth. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Thankful When Complete

When I was speaking to a friend of mine today, he was telling me how he had just completed a large and seemingly impossible task. He had worked on it a long time. Now a new task had appeared as a result, but he felt good about it being possible. In the completion of one part of the mission, he was encouraged, and thankful He realized that what had happened was really God doing a mighty work.

Psalms 124
A Song of degrees of David.
1 If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, now may Israel say;
2 If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men rose up against us:
3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:
4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:
5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
6 Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

Today, let us look at the tasks we complete, great or small, as gifts from our Father and be thankful.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. We praise the name Yahuah. Let Your kingdom be here through us. Send us now Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins. Heal us inside, and deliver us. Restore unto Your people one hundred times one hundredfold that which has been taken or held back. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Come Out Praying

At times we wonder what we will do in a given situation, such as a certain type of attack of the enemy. Us, or someone we know or love, may become ill or injured. Maybe we have a problem with the car or the plumbing. A friend I know recently had a problem with a used car he bought, and he really lost it. After cooling down he prayed and between he and his wife working as a team, they were able to get the first part of the electric window repair accomplished. Neither of them know anything about cars. The next day he prayed and asked the Father to help him find parts on Sunday. After a few calls he found out that a local car parts place had a hub in the neighboring town. He was able to get the parts for the window and for the electric door locks. He worked on them all afternoon and although it was dark when he finished, he had both up and running before bed. And he knows nothing about cars. This may seem like a simple story, but the point is God teaches us from the simple things in life. In this case, had he prayed in the beginning he might have fixed the car quickly on Saturday and not had to change so many plans. Anger got him.

When we face these situations, emotions click in. This is not necessarily bad. Where it becomes problematic is when we do not control the response for the good. All of the same emotion channeled into something for the good would only add to the power of the good. Prayer would be the better response. Speaking words of life, not speaking the death contained in evil words. We can add power to our praying when we add our emotion to our praying.

James 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.
18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.

Today, let’s control our emotion and add our prayer to it. Then we can come out praying!

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are our King! Praise the name Yahuah! Let us bear Your kingdom in this earth. Sne dus today Your overwhelming abundant provision such that we cannot contain it. Forgive us our sins. Heal us from the inside out. Deliver us from the evil on that steals and destroys. Restore unto Your people one hundred times one hundredfold that which has been taken or held back. Ride across the skies, my King, and destroy the works of the enemy. Add abundance to Your people, ten times greater than when Your people left Egypt, and more. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Wall Repair

We build our faith from each event in our life. We progress over time to where we can believe what would seem impossible to others.

Romans 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

We see here that faith has a progression, an element of building to it. I like to think of it as a brick or stone wall. But just as these walls need repair at times, so also it is true with the faith we have built. We may allow something to damage or harm our faith. We have to repair that place, that chink in the wall. We do that through repentance, prayer, and meditating on the scriptures. In this way we rebuild that which needs repair. We can do this for ourselves and we can assist others in their doing it for themselves.

Isaiah 58:11 And the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
12 And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.

Let us begin today by being those people that repair the breach. Let us be rebuilders.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King! Praise and bless the name Yahuah! Use us to promote Your kingdom in the earth. Send us now Your overwhelming abundant provision such that we do not have the room to hold it all. Forgive us our sins. Heal us up on the inside in our hearts and minds. Deliver us from the one that steals and destroys. Restore unto us one hundred times one hundredfold all that has been taken or held back. Come now and deliver Your people as in the Exodus giving to us the substance of those that have been our oppressors. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Stand Up!

We are called to do something great, everyone of us. That something great is to promote and move forward the kingdom of our Father. We can do this because of who our Father is. He is King and He is the one that planned 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:

If we will be diligent to pursue God, and turn to Him when we have turned away, He will turn to us and bring to pass that which He declared from the beginning.

We can make a stand!

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are our King! Praise the name Yahuah! Let Your kingdom come here, and let us help to bring it here. Send us now Your overwhelming provision such that we cannot contain it. Forgive us our sins. Heal up the scars inside, and wash them away with no memory of the hurts and pains. Deliver us from the one that steals and destroys. restore unto Your people one hundred times one hundredfold that which has been taken or held back. Rise up, King. Take a stand now. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Knowing There Is An Answer

Questions and/or questioning can be a steady part of the state of mind of us as believers. When we are in the questioning state with doubt, that doubt can be magnified greatly. Questions with doubts do not feel good and are not a comfortable place to be. This condition can leave us not deciding what to do when we need to make a decision.

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.

This same verse shows the other side. When we ask in faith, our Father responds with answers. These answers may come instantly, or they may come over time, but they will come. Questions can be good, if they are asked with a knowing that our Father is there for us.

Today, as we observe the world around us, let us keep our heads up, knowing that our Father is there to comfort us and to bring us home.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. Praise the name Yahuah! You are our King! Let Your kingdom come to earth through us. Help us to be strong that we might do Your will. Send us now Your overwhelming provision. Heal us and deliver us. Restore unto Your people one hundred times one hundredfold that which has been taken or held back. Overwhelm our barns with goods. Let each of us be overwhelmed with an outpouring of Your Spirit, and of plenteous goods that cannot be contained. Help us become a storehouse for Your power and sustenance. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Little And Much

Today as I was trying to complete a number of chores before the day began, I thought about the little amount of time it takes to weed my little garden. It is about 25 feet by about 6 feet, so definitely I do not appear in the ranks of a farmer. Although it is a small area, I had let the weeds go. Given I had fertilized it courtesy of my chickens, the weeds were getting big. But in about 10 – 15 minutes I had weeded 25-30% of it. As I watered the garden, I thought about how little amount of time that was in the grand scheme of things. If I really went after my garden and the dilapidated fountain, a day would get the whole thing really looking good. The problem I have had of late is all the time I have been committing to getting things at work complete. Then I remembered a scripture.

Luke 16:10 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.

We are required to work diligently at all we do. If we slack off in the little things, what makes us think we will come through in the bigger things in life? They are not any easier. They will require work and perseverence. Our Father blesses the work of our hands – everything we do according to His commands.

Deuteronomy 28:8 The Lord shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.

And again, in another scripture.

Deuteronomy 30:8 And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the Lord, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day.
9 And the Lord thy God will make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the Lord will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers:
10 If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.

In the end, we must pursue all that our Father gives to us. He will work out the details. We need only trust in Him and be diligent to do what is set before us.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King! Praise the name Yahuah! Use us to produce Your will in this earth, just like Your angels produce Your will in the heavens. Give to us today Your overwhelming provision such that we cannot contain it all. Forgive us our sins. Heal us and deliver us. Restore unto Your people one hundred times one hundredfold that which has been taken or held back. Rise up and strike our enemies that they may release what they hold. Pour out a blessing even greater than at the Exodus upon Your people. Turn today the hearts of the kings before our eyes that they would receive and bless us abundantly beyond what we ask or think. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
